    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.

    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?

    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?

    I'm Freezing!

    I know it is nearly Thanksgiving, but I am in Georgia and it is not normally this cold at this time of year. The air seems to be a lot drier this year too, even though we have gotten a good bit of rain. Maybe the drier air makes it feel colder or something.

    Clogged sink

    I woke up this morning to a clogged kitchen sink. I really don't have the money for a plumber so I thought some of you guys might know of a "home remedy" of sorts to clean it out. We already tried boiling water and that didn't get it.

    Local Honey

    Has anyone had any success using local honey to try and alleviate allergy and sinus trouble? I know someone who has a hive in their backyard, but I was curious as to whether anyone has tried it with success.

    Will you sign up?

    I was just wondering if anyone here is planning to sign up for Obamacare when the exchanges open? From what I have read if you don't sign up pretty soon your coverage won't start in January.

    Herbs to prevent infection

    My husband cut his finger pretty badly at school and we don't have any insurance. There was no flesh left to stitch so I am not overly concerned about that part, but I am worried about his finger getting infected. Are there any herbs he can take to prevent infection?

    White nails

    I found a little trick for getting your nails white again after you use a dark color polish and I thought you ladies might like it. Just mix 1 tablespoon of peroxide and 2 1/4 tablespoons of baking soda and leave it on your nails for about 5 minutes. :)

    Stormy weather ahead

    Depending on where you live today and tommorrow look to be filled with stormy weather. We are preparing for severe thunderstorms and potential tornados tomorrow. At the very least we are supposed to have high winds and LOTS of rain.

    Passion Flower

    Has anyone ever tried taking passion flower as a supplement before? I just ordered some from Puritan's Pride so I am anxious to see how it works. Supposedly, it is supposed to help promote relaxation and general well-being.

    Prostate health

    I know that as men get older they can have issues with their prostate health. At what age are you supposed to have your prostate checked for the first time, and how often do you need it checked after that? Are there herbs that promote prostate health?

    Herbs for reflux

    I never really had a problem with acid reflux other than when I was pregnant, but for the last few weeks it has been a nightly problem. Are there any herbs or supplements that might help with reflux problems?

    Dreading the holidays

    This is the first time in my life I can ever really remember dreading the holidays. With all that has changed for us in the past few months, and the loss of some very special people this year I just know that it won't be the same.

    Yard sale madness

    My mom and I have decided to have a yard sale this weekend, and it better do well because it has been a pain to set up. This whole week I have been gathering and sorting and dropping stuff off. I am going to be so disappointed if we make $10 or something after all of this work!

    I ran across this website with several recipes for detox smoothies. I haven't tried them all yet, but the flat tummy and energy booster ones were delicious!
