To take the itch out of mosquito bites, and make them go away within a few days - rub the bite with a small piece of cut onion a few times a day. The juice neutralizes the itch and helps heal the bite. The more often you apply, the sooner the bite disappears. Everyone who tries it is astounded!


I've heard it may work on other insect bites, but have not tried it on anything other than mosquito bites.

Planet Orange for Money Savvy Kids


Planet Orange first launched by ING DIRECT in 2002. The site, recently redesigned, has been recognized as a “Best Bet” by USA TODAY and named ‘Best of the Web’ by Forbes.com as a helpful place where kids can learn about money in an educational and entertaining way.

Planet Orange now offers parents, educators, and children enhanced learning tools and games having to do with finances and money. There are a variety of space missions at Planet Orange, used to help kids discover the importance and value of money along with personal finance lessons through fun and engaging games and activities.


Planet Orange covers topics like earning, saving, spending and investing are all covered in an interactive, space themed manner. There’s also a Teacher’s Resource Center with tutorials, free lesson plans, and supplemental information and tools to enhance the learning experience.



Keep in mind that kids may need a parent’s help to register though, for a kids site I was sort of surprised at the long registration form.
