Here is a good read on different kinds of Thickners.

These silky powders are used to thicken sauces, gravies, pie fillings, and puddings.   They're popular because they thicken without adding fat or much flavor

[size=18pt]Ferns[/size]

Overview:
Ferns are a very ancient family of plants: early fern fossils predate the beginning of the Mesozoic era, 360 million years ago. They are older than land animals and far older than the dinosaurs. They were thriving on Earth for two hundred million years before the flowering plants evolved.

As we know them now, most ferns are leafy plants that grow in moist areas under forest canopy. They are "vascular plants" with well-developed internal vein structures that promote the flow of water and nutrients. Unlike the other vascular plants, the flowering plants and conifers, where the adult plant grows immediately from the seed, ferns reproduce from spores and an intermediate plant stage called a gametophyte.

Purpose:
Ferns are also use for decorative and ornamental purposes, because they keep well in water. In the United States, fronds of the species Polystichum acrostichoides are sold during the Christmas season, because they maintain their green color even during the winter months. This species is aptly called the Christmas Fern. When added with other flowers, ferns can create unique floral arrangements. The fronds of various ferns are dried and spray-painted. Gold or silver paint adds beautiful, decorative color to floral patterns. The inner trunk of tree ferns can be cut and shaped into ornamental artwork such as vases, cups, or bowls.

In nature, ferns serve a far greater purpose to the environment. In particular those species that are weedy or that can thrive in disturbed soil. Ferns help aid in erosion control and soil stabilization. The main structures of ferns, which perform these tasks are the rhizomes and the root systems. The rhizomes, because they are thin, long and grow horizontally beneath the surface of the ground, help to stabilize the soil. The root systems of ferns are well branched and add moisture to soil, helping to preventing erosion.

[size=18pt]Aloe[/size]

Overview:
The Aloe vera plant has been used for thousands of years to heal a variety of conditions, most notably burns, wounds, skin irritations, and constipation. It is grown in most subtropical and tropical locations, including South Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean. Aloe was one of the most frequently prescribed medicines throughout most of the 18th and 19th centuries and it remains one of the most commonly used herbs in the United States today. However, oral use of aloe for constipation is no longer recommended, as it can have severe side effects.

History

For over 3,500 years, tales of "healing Aloe Vera" plants have been handed down through centuries by word of mouth. From the Bible's mention of removing Christ from the cross and wrapping his body in aloes and myrrh, (John 19:39), we find Aloe Vera mysteriously appearing in every phase of history, with many testimonials to its great medicinal values. The earliest documented use of Aloe Vera comes from the ancient Egyptians, but it was also grown and used by King Solomon, who was said to have valued it highly.

Alexander the Great conquered the island of Socotra in order to have the Aloe for his army. During his fabled travels in the Orient, among the many marvels recorded by Marco Polo were his descriptions of the many applications of the Aloe Vera plant. The Spanish Conquistadors discovered various herbal medicines in use in Tenochtitlán. At the heart of many of the Aztec cures, it is known that Aloe Vera was the effective agent. These Aztec herbal medicines were transported back to Europe by the Spanish, during the sixteenth century, where they became the foundation for modern Western medicine.

Sometimes your "best friend" is your worst enemies. Be very careful because I think I know those two little twits are behind it. It's all about getting information NOT to make you a friend. Let the friendship stay here and here only.

**excerpt**
"Your best friend has the power to hurt you more than any other person, possibly because they have been exposed to what you think and feel. They understand what motivates you, as well as what breaks you down. After lowering your defenses in a relationship based on total trust, they can be a dangerous ally. They've had a glimpse into your heart and mind and know ways to use it against you"
