...consumption is at best yesterday's news. Tomorrow's story will be the sharp fall in U.S. growth as consumers face higher mortgage costs.

I divide my time so I can attend to both my profession and my work at home. Also remember that I am an Iranian woman. I have learned how to be patient...
...site, I did find Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSes) for many P&G products, which are posted by law in factories where they're made, listing information about a cleaner's chemical components and known health effects. The government also has a website--householdproducts.nlm.nih.gov--with a database of household-cleaner MSDSes from a range of manufacturers...
