    What's everyone reading?

    I loved Under the Dome and The Cell by Stephen King. Recently I have been on a James Patterson kick. The one I am reading now is called You Have Been Warned and so far it is pretty good. I am hoping for some new books for Christmas.

    Donate!

    I don't donate to any animal shelters but we donate to two local charities that are run by some kids in our area. They do their best to get Christmas to as many kids as possible in the community. During the rest of the year they plan birthday parties and activities for kids in foster care.

    I had a horrible ear infection a few months back and now my ear is starting to bother me again. Does anyone know any good home remedies for ear pain?

    Sick mom, sick kids...oh, boy!

    I feel better today, but still not great. Both of the kids are irritable as all get out and have runny noses and fevers. Hubby went to work today, and all of the dayshift either called out or left early. I hope he doesn't get it too.

    They don't let me cook

    So take something that you cooked in addition to the cheese tray to show them that you can cook. That's what I would do anyway.

    Oil Pulling

    Well, I got sick before I could get a chance to try it. I am planning to use the coconut oil when I get a chance to try it though.

    Sick mom, sick kids...oh, boy!

    I'm sick, both of my kids are sick, and my hubby is at work, but says he doesn't feel too hot either. He also said that the dayshift kitchen back-up had to go home early today because she was sick. I don't know what we have gotten into but so far it is not very pleasant.

    Best herbs for anxiety?

    St. John's Wort is a good one, but it takes forever before it starts working. You have to take it for about six weeks to notice a difference. Kava is also a good one and so is Passion Flower.

    Oil Pulling

    I think that I am going to give it a try, but I haven't been to the store yet to get the oil. I'm going to run some errands in the next day or so I will probably pick some up then.

    Kids: Sick? or drama?

    My kids don't go to school so I don't have to deal with this too often. My youngest will get overly sensitive when he is too tired though. Usually all my son wants is to be held until he falls asleep though.

    Tight jaw

    I have had TMJ since I was 12 years old so I have a few tips for you. There are stretching exercises like opening and closing your mouth several times in different positions. You can also apply warm, moist heat to your jaw. Ibuprofen will help take the swelling down, and you can purchase mouth...

    Back to work!

    That is awesome Freshfoodie! I know exactly what you mean about not having to worry so much about your finances. I long for the day when we don't have to worry about them quite so much. :)

    Are you cooking?

    I didn't have to do too much thankfully! The nacho bar sounds like a really interesting idea! We usually have lasagna for Christmas around here but it is not my year to cook!

    Oil Pulling

    Has anyone here ever tried oil pulling? It seems pretty simple and if it does work the health benefits are great, and if it doesn't work there is nothing about it that is going to hurt you. If you have tried it what kind of oil do you use?

    The Brain Garage

    Cool! I love stuff like that! I will have to check it out later when I have a little more time. So far it looks really neat!

    Think it's time

    You could try doing a juice fast for a couple of days, or an Epsom salt detoxification bath. I really had my doubts about the bath, but it does work!

    Peppermint and Itchy Eyes

    Interesting! I have never heard of this before, but allergies often get the best of my eyes so I am sure I will have a chance to try this. :)

    Vitamins to make fur grow?

    My dog had a rough time with fleas this year and her fur is really, really thin. Is there anything that I can give her to help her fur grow in thicker?

    Things to consider before getting the flu vaccine

    You couldn't pay me to take the flu shot, and Aconite is right there are many unadvertised side effects and even deaths that have occurred after getting the flu vaccine. Why take that risk for something that is likely to be ineffective?

    New scar

    Ouch! That does not sound like a pleasant experience at all. You can try putting something like Mederma on it to help the scar fade faster.
