Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
I still mask up going into stores. I just wish there was some way to stop my eyeglasses from getting so fogged up. If I want to look at something in the store, I have to hold my breath !! I tried those anti-fog eyeglass sprays, all I can say don't waste your money.
You could harvest it and sell it to herbal companies, it is valuable and not always readily available.
Great natural antibiotic, unless you are allergic.
so that I can safely go outside.
Mosquitoes are aggressive, plentiful, bite thru clothing, ankle biters, and I get painful, swollen bites.
I am either super-sensitive or allergic. Cannot use the usual chemicals for mosquito repellant.
Thank you! I will definitely look into it!
I do eat a high potassium diet, but maybe it is not being absorbed.
CWillie,
I know! I dislike Avon, but actually have seen that ants won't cross that powder or oil line. So not cosmetics, but for pest control, lol. My adopted philosophy when fighting pests is to be more of a nuisance than the pest.
I went door-to-door when I was younger. One customer was like the narcissists who keep you there for more than an hour before they will give you their order, talking crazy things. Definitely not worth it. So excruciatingly painful for me. I would never enter someone's house that was that crazy these days.
Seems unfair that Avon sells online and to stores undercutting their sales representatives. Kind of like the Fuller Brush Company did.
Looking up online, there is specially treated clothing to prevent mosquito bites.
Hopefully, your DD uses repellant several times a day.
Do the bites make her sick?
I have heard many excellent reports on a lotion called Body Butter Baobab by NuSkin as a mosquito repellent. Pricey, but a little goes a long way!
I can get anaphylactic shock from getting bit, so I have been blessed to find ways to mitigate the biting and how to relieve them if I get them.
My heart goes out to your daughter, that is pure torture.
And the cures.
Much appreciated on this ghastly evening, failing to receive my Instacart order, failing to get dH to the store, just a fail.
I can take it. Just stopping everything, resting, seeking entertainment on T.V. We will have a yam to split for dinner, already had a quesadilla, and dH won't even notice as he is super glued to internet things and his cell phone tonight. It was already super hard for him to eat all day as he is sooo distracted.
Deep breaths, and peacefulness!
You all have a good night, wherever you are! 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💖
Just call me "fall guy"
There are hummingbirds feeding on the blooming cape honeysuckle near my front door. Found out that hummingbirds eat mosquitos and other insects.
That is a good thing!
I'm considering offering to bring lunch by their house on the days she works. Would I really be helping or just enabling a potentially dangerous situation to continue? I can't stay until the girls get home because I need to be home when my foster sons get home. She is already under so much pressure trying to keep things going. Her parents chauffeur her girls (their grandchildren) around to their functions but health concerns limit how much help they can offer. Most of the cousins and her brother are in the their late 40s or 50s and have busy lives with the their own families. So many things similar in early onset to what we deal handle with older parents... and so many things are different.
I think it would be helpful to keep track of his overall well-being with lunch delivered. Perhaps she would be able to see that something needs to be implemented to keep him safe and healthy.
I can't imagine how deep the water feels for her right now.
glad - you never know. Tomorrow is not guaranteed to any of us.
