Almost quitting time....1630!

Pretty cold huh?

[Fawnn]

You're welcome. ;)

[Laurita]

Hey! It IS quitting time! Unfortunately I still have to report to the LT who is in a meeting right now.

Yes it's cold, and my feet think it's even colder.

[Fawnn]

I hope Crystal likes the cake.

(Ma will be proud. In the time between I posted that cake and now, I wrote and posted a 500-word article on my About.com site. Note: If you've considered hydrogen peroxide IV therapy, don't.) ;)

If you're curious, you can read why (or why not) here: http://chronicfatigue.about.com/b/a/2005_01_11.htm

Thank you for pointing me that article. I haven't heard of that treatment, but with all the medical conditions I suffer from, I'm sure it was only a matter of time before someone suggested it.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Well, I hope your LT gets out of his meeting soon before your toes freeze.

[Fawnn]

You're welcome.

The advantage of only being able to afford treatments covered by health insurance is that I avoid that stuff. (The advantage of being unable to tolerate pain medications is that I avoid the Vioxx and other now-banned medications problems, too.) ;)

[Fawnn]

P.S. I can't handle chlorine bleach either, but I did find some handy info while researching that article!

Instead of bleach, you can substitute a solution of a quarter cup each of lemon juice and vinegar, and 3 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide.

I also learned: Never use bleach on linens, as it will break down the fibers. (I'll remember that if I ever get the linens out again. As it is, I also learned that storing them folded breaks down the fibers, too, so they're probably already shot.) ;)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Today is the day. Happy Birthday, Crys!!

[trussell]

So...if you can't fold them to store them, what are you suppose to do with them? Ravel them up and toss them in the corner?

[Laurita]

Ahh, but breaking down the fibers makes them softer. All my favorite towels and sheets have holes in them, but they are so soft I can't throw them away.

[trussell]

The kid love that Happy birthday song!!! I now have to play it for them to dance to before they go to bed!! LOL

Thanks alot!!! LOL

Hugs

[Fawnn]

LOL!!! That's an idea. ;)

(I assume lay flat or roll them. I didn't read that far. Clicked to read the bleach alternative, saw the other stuff as I skimmed the page, found the bleach alternative, left page. Clicked back button. The end.)

[Laurita]

HAPPY B'DAY, CRYS!

Goodnight, everycanteener! I think I've done enough damage for one day.

[trussell]

BTW...I am spoiling my baby girl!! I made cupcakes for her to take to school for her bday...She doesn't know I did this yet, but I made her a really cute mini bundt cake. I put "Happy Birthday Crystal" on the top of it, and put purple and blue flowers around the side! It is really cute!!!

[Fawnn]

I had a shirt like that once. I wore it when I painted. I still miss that shirt, but it got to where the holes took up more real estate than did the shirt. ;)

[trussell]

Sweet Dreams Laurita...thank you for wishing my little girl a happy birthday!
