I did the same thing you did and wrote a letter to the paper, which they printed. I used much of the same tact you chose, but since we'd already driven the 80 miles to go see it, I told the readership that we had done so.<BR/><BR/>I also pointed out that their marquee was full of yawners, which was true. The next week, the movie was here, so I took the whole family and bought the popcorn, too.VMChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16419118650797533181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17058563.post-1137725959752723372006-01-19T18:59:00.000-08:002006-01-19T18:59:00.000-08:00Strep is so rough.

I was so sick that I begged my son to eat cereal for dinner so that I didn't have to move (Mick was out of town). I was actually "grateful" that the baby was sick too, because she slept a lot and I'm not sure if I could've taken care of her.<BR/><BR/>Hope she's well soon!Andie D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05853859265687206607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17058563.post-1137719327513203682006-01-19T17:08:00.000-08:002006-01-19T17:08:00.000-08:00i'm going through a week, where i don't really get...i'm going through a week, where i don't really get what anyone is saying. i'm kind of muddled up. first week of a new semester does that to me. <BR/><BR/>anyways, all i can remember to say at this point, is that when i get sick, i want to come to your house, and also, holy cat lickers, i've never seen that many icons on a desktop in my life. are they in any particular order?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17058563.post-1137699486128127502006-01-19T11:38:00.000-08:002006-01-19T11:38:00.000-08:00Just visiting with you "granny".

SIGH.<BR/>So we broke down and used a commercial product on our pets. Not my favourite thing.<BR/><BR/>Then someone suggested mayonnaise. THat had me snorting wiht laughter. <BR/><BR/>All I could picture was three dogs, one very hairy and big one at 95 lbs. covered with oily goo chasing each other through the house and licking non stop!<BR/><BR/>I love the picture of gizmo, he is just the right kind of thing to have on top of a computer!<BR/><BR/>The post on lice on BB was frightening. Knock on wood, we have never had human lice, but if we ever do, I will try every natural alternative first!<BR/><BR/>Writing letters is important and I think both of your recent ones make a lot of sense and it is good for dissenting opinions to be expressed - <BR/>We don't have dessert much at our house either. I never wanted it as a daily thing (except when I was a kid) because it always seems to make eating the actual meal seem like a chore!<BR/><BR/>Mmmm. Jello, haven't had that for a while. Especially not red jello.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps I will save that for next week when my husband is away in Germany and Scotland.<BR/><BR/>Hope all is looking up at your house!Gawdessnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00890880211424269234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17058563.post-1137680670188743882006-01-19T06:24:00.000-08:002006-01-19T06:24:00.000-08:00Yep.

We do our best to keep their hair clean but maybe we should give up shampoos?<BR/><BR/>Mother damnable and madcap both said the same thing about tea tree oil. They're the herbalists of the group. Now all I have to do is find out what they're talking about (for the next time). I think this one is over.Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17283823157675990935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17058563.post-1137668104560789912006-01-19T02:55:00.000-08:002006-01-19T02:55:00.000-08:00Hiya AliceLice go to clean hair!Please be careful ...Hiya Alice<BR/><BR/>Lice go to clean hair!<BR/><BR/>Please be careful using vinegar, it can burn sensitive skin.<BR/><BR/>Good to meet you :>)Mother Sharon Damnablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16154801224040396559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17058563.post-1137667634813506782006-01-19T02:47:00.000-08:002006-01-19T02:47:00.000-08:00I stick with my original suggestion regarding head...I stick with my original suggestion regarding head-lice. Regular combing and treatment every so often with vinegar. <BR/><BR/>Works wonders for us.<BR/><BR/>Bloody lice. They creep me out. And no matter that my hair is clean and I wash regularly, if I get them from mum (got to love being a teacher of 4-12 year olds. All those fringe benefits), I still always feel unclean somehow, like I'm dirty.<BR/><BR/>Anyway. Chemicals in the end are useless if you have to use them more than three times on the same child, no matter what time frame it is in; close together or far apart. Lice get used to the properties very quickly, and the chemical treatments then simply cease to work. <BR/>The old remedies are best. Vinegar, lemon... They hate the stuff, and the acids seem to kill them every time. <BR/>As I once told a friend who was horrified about what we used to tackle the problem; which is better? An expensive 'treatment' which only works once or twice, or spending £1.50 on a HUGE bottle of cooking/malted vinegar that works like a charm??<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, good luck. Hope Becca feels herself again soon, love to all and well done Elcie and Rochelle for continuing good progress.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14549891327693205506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17058563.post-1137667415698576912006-01-19T02:43:00.000-08:002006-01-19T02:43:00.000-08:00I had strep around the same age. cant remember too...I had strep around the same age. cant remember too much about it other than that was how we discovered i was allergic to penicilian<BR/><BR/>I added that link for you.<BR/><BR/>your post made me tired, so mucb happening<BR/><BR/>typing with baby in one arm, very hardAndreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16551607753054004591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17058563.post-1137666297182548212006-01-19T02:24:00.000-08:002006-01-19T02:24:00.000-08:00(((((((((Rebecca))))))))))I am burning a candle an...(((((((((Rebecca))))))))))<BR/><BR/>I am burning a candle and am sending healing energies to you, I hope you feel better very soon.Mother Sharon Damnablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16154801224040396559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17058563.post-1137665771639681432006-01-19T02:16:00.000-08:002006-01-19T02:16:00.000-08:00Hiya GrannyI've started my spring cleaning so have...Hiya Granny<BR/><BR/>I've started my spring cleaning so have been busy :>)<BR/><BR/>Tea Tree oil and lavender are very good for getting rid of lice.<BR/><BR/>Never ise the essential oil neat, dilute in almond or other oil, comb through the hair, wrap in a towel and leave for a few hours or overnight.<BR/><BR/>Comb through with a nit comb and wash out. them little critters hate the smell of the tea tree and the children have hair that is in lovely condition.<BR/><BR/>I used to think teachers kept nits (as they're called here) in a jar and sprinkled then on the childrens heads!<BR/><BR/>Mix Lavender essential oil with water in a spray bottle and spray the childrens bed linen, this will aid restful sleep and again deters critters.<BR/><BR/>Prob best to repeat the tea tree oil treatment once a week for about a month to kill off eggsMother Sharon Damnablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16154801224040396559noreply@blogger.com
