    Cleaning black off the glass

    I wonder if trimming the wick in between lighting it would help to reduce the production of soot. It might be worth a try, anyway. Hope you get this problem solved!

    Herbs in Salads

    I love the depth of flavor fresh herbs add to a salad. The trouble is that I rarely remember to add them! Both basil and oregano are so yummy.

    Garlic oil

    Oh, gosh, thank you! I was not aware of the need to wait before heating. Crushing I knew to do, but not waiting. That could be why I feel like the infection is not completely gone. It seems like it is trying to come back. I'd better have a do-over today, and do it right!

    Garlic oil

    Last week I had that ear infection that was giving me vertigo. One of the remedies I used was rubbing garlic oil behind my ear to help drain the fluid. I kept smelling it all day and it made me hungry. Now I can't stop craving some garlic bread! Going to have to give in and make some, I guess.

    Sandal ready feet

    Brea, that is what I was thinking! I have a child who, if you aren't looking, will eat an entire pint before I unload the rest of the groceries. I will have to try this recipe. I've been trying to keep on my foot regime, but it is hard to battle that winter dryness!

    Too Dry.

    I have a simple solution that may help you. Stop bathing as often. Do you bathe every day? I know most of us here in the US do so. But it is really bad for our skin. It washes away the natural moisturizing oils. It is very drying.

    pay attention

    I am in the camp that believes that most people are fairly out of touch with their bodies. Not only that, but most people are not that educated about what those signs mean. Add to that our natural desire to ignore bad things we see coming.

    Finally Losing More

    Good for you! It is such an accomplishment. Losing weight is hard for most of us. I hope you have a plan to treat yourself, maybe with some new workout clothes or a night out with the hubby, or something!

    Flu shots

    Do you get a flu shot each year? Do you get one most years? If you got one this year, are you glad for it? Just curious how many of us choose to get vaccinated against the flu each winter.

    White vinegar

    Well, he's right. It will kill the germs on his body. But...why? I could maybe, MAYBE see it if he worked at a hospital and felt icky when he came home. There are studies showing hospital workers do bring home nasty germs, but mostly on their clothes. But once a month? Just, why?

    Goldenseal

    Can we talk about goldenseal as a natural antibiotic? I have known about it for many years, but haven't taken advantage of it much. Anyone have experience or advice they can share?

    Itching

    That must feel awful. I have no suggestions, but I can empathize a little. Sometimes too much chlorine in a pool can trigger my asthma.

    Dizziness

    Yes, it was definitely congestion causing the vertigo. I woke up this morning with an ear ache, a sore throat and nasal congestion. I'm sort of glad. At least this I know how to treat! Just vertigo...who knows what to do about that?

    Listening To Nature Sounds

    I only like them to fall asleep. My favorites are the ocean waves sounds and thunderstorms. Sometimes I find a thunderstorm on youtube to put on for my kids if they are fretting at bedtime.

    Fire cider

    Oh, for the love of pete, no thank you! I think some people can choke down stuff like that, but I cannot. And now I'm thinking of a tonic one of my Facebook friends posted several months ago that had raw onion rings floating in it! I'd forgotten about that one.
