Good evening, AZ.....how are the eyes? Feeling better? How are your ducks?

[TASMANIANRED]

hydrocortisone cream and oatmeal.

Another use for an old sock.. Handful of oatmeal. Wet it with warm water, scrunge it and pat the milk on.

You can also do an oatmeal bath a lot cheaper than aveeno with 10% of the mess.

Oatmeal in the leg of a stocking and tie it on the spigot of the bath tub. The good stuff comes out in the bath water and the mess stays in the stocking.

Also stay away from hot showers or hot baths, will make the itch flare up something awful.

Prayers on the way for Brad’s Gramma and her husband.

[GodBlessUSA]

They will be beautiful when you return home :)

We use Windex to get too-tight rings off fingers at work. It’s cold and slick and they just slide right off.

Sometimes all I have to do is say “I’ll get the Windex to take it off”...and some people get it off themselves! LOL!

I am anxious to finally see them bloom. They have had many hazards this spring to set them back.

[Randy Larsen]

These are great ideas! Thank You!

[HiJinx]

her husband are in urgent need of prayer.

I spoke with him Saturday and he sounded pretty good, except for that cough. I guess it got worse.

Prayer's up for Brad's Grampa, hang in there FRiend, we're pulling for you.

Thanks everyone! I got an early present from my older boy, a new tackle box to go with the new rod and reel he got me for Mother’s Day!

Today (the 16th) would have been my father’s 87th birthday and tomorrow I will be another year closer to the half century mark! NOOOOOOOOO!

[GodBlessUSA]

Thanks Taz :)
Oatmeal is a great idea. I forgot about this one. My Mom always had an oatmeal soap for us kids. :) At this point I’m tempted to make oatmeal and apply it. LOL I'm definitely going to try the hydrocortisone also.

[Randy Larsen]

Send them to me! I recycle to earn my way in this crazy state!

[luvie]

What a great gift and your son was very thoughtful to combine the two gifts for you.

You must love to fish!

God rest your dear father’s soul!

[luvie]

Can you believe that it’s only 56 degrees here right now...and we got another 6/10ths of an inch of rain? We won’t be a desert if this keeps up. We’ll be tropical! LOL!

[TASMANIANRED]

There is a product called IVY Chex..that you scrub after exposure.
Washes the oil off.

[GodBlessUSA]

Yay... Enjoy fishing. What a thoughtful son. :)
A beautiful day of honoring your Dad and then your Bday follows. I hope you have a wonderful day!

[SandRat]

We’d like a little of tht moisture.

[luvie]

I am totally amazed that we have gotten so much.

It’s supposed to keep raining off and on through the
weekend.

My grass is beautiful! Hubby hates it...he has to mow it! LOL!
