I second this! My son is highly allergic to poison ivy. He breaks out if he stands down wind from it. His dad has actually been hospitalized from reactions to it. A gentleman walked up to us when he saw my son broken out with it years ago and said to use Tecnu. Have used it ever since...

I have one that my family likes. Dice up a few tomatoes, white onion and pick a small bunch of cilantro leaves. Put these in a bowl with some white vinegar for at least one hour. Put this mixture in a strainer and add 4 large cans of plain diced tomatoes and 2 cans Rotel to the...

A friend of mine works for one of those "big lenders" on the foreclosure side. Her job is to actually pay the people that have quit paying on their loans to get out of the house. This is in an effort to avoid a bunch of legal hassle and damage to the property (apparently some people are...

We love all the uses for vinegar! I do use it in the laundry and in a spray bottle for cleaning around the house. I will also add some lemon or orange essential oil to the spray bottle and mop water. I never thought of using it in the dishwasher and have never noticed the list on the side...

Aren't the guys from "Flight of the Concords" from New Zealand? I have their songs on my ipod....funny stuff.

I wasn't saying to stay in the dark ages! ;) I was saying that as for the stuff we put into our bodies I am a little more careful and use common sense. The rule of not eating it if our great grandmother wouldn't recognize it is a broad statement I was using. Again, just another way of saying...

With all due respect.....what does eating healthy/natural have to do with medical advancements? :confused3

We do what we can when we can. We don't always have an abundance of organic produce where I live. I understand it doesn't have any more nutritional value than non-organic produce but it's what is not there that I like. The book "In Defense of Food" by Michael Pollan is a fantastic read...

Mind sharing this recipe? :flower3:

Kamik- reading your post made my heart really go out to you. :hug: I can not imagine what you are going through and how what seems like a simple task to me may not feel that way to you. I know a lot of us have issues you can't see, but they are issues none the less and we should all be more...

My SiL and I went to a Murder Mystery dinner that had an 80's theme. It was great because I grew up in the 80's and we had a lot of fun putting together our outfits. Did the best we could with thrift store finds. I had the acid washed denim skirt, neon shirt and leggings with neon high tops...

This thread is cracking me up! We just got back from the world last week and it was a wonderful trip. Lots of fun and great weather. However, I do have a couple of complaints to add... First, people using strollers to push their way through crowds. My husband had the back/sides of his...

My DH can't have the small chocolate covered donuts in the house. My "fix" is the bold flavored Chex Mix. :love:

Crazy you mention this, we leave for WDW in just a few days too and I had a dream last night that we had a flat tire on the way to the airport. I woke up feeling the stress and haven't really been able to shake that feeling all day. I need a vacation after all this vacation planning/worrying...

We do take our kids out of school for our yearly trip to WDW. We don't take school lightly, but my family time with my kids is priceless and vacation memories are not something I'm willing to give up. My kids will look back years from now and remember all the great times we had on vacation and...

From what I understand, everyone's recovery is different. Really depends on a lot of factors such as age, fitness, health issues, type of surgery, what all they have to remove and why, etc...... I'm 37, pretty fit and eat very healthy (for the most part). I had an excellent Dr and my surgery...

Congrats! I had posted my experience on one of the other hysterectomy threads but I will say a little here too. :) I don't really have any of my old symptoms from having my period. My recover was pretty quick but I just had a partial and it was done ******lly so I didn't have the big...

My husband and I have been experimenting with making our own pizza crusts. We really like cooking it on hot pizza stones in our oven. We use the convection bake setting and it really has a brick oven taste to it. Our next step is to try grilling it so I was happy to see this thread. Any...

Used the leftover meat from soft taco's last night to make enchilada's tonight.
