I just love your straight forwardness,honesty and especially your humor and I have posted some prime goodies that you would have had a field day with and probably would have had me rolling with laughter over.In saying I was amazed that was your first response was like when you pass gas in a crowded room and draw up getting ready, waiting for the ones you fiqure will say something and wait to laugh and get razzed. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> I do understand that you cannot respond to all posts.I honestly didn't mean it that way.
I have been in good hands with Pepperband(who I also love for the same reasons.She's the type that would place her arm around your shoulder and say "There now.I know you feel better with that out of your system." <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/cool.gif" /> ) and others who have responded.

I and others receive a lot of great advice from reading what you post to others.

Keep em thinking and laughing, WAT.I'll still be reading. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> KK

Hi kk, yes, I guess I did misinterpret your words - and I'm glad I did. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Hope you're feeling better. If you have a cold I can offer WAT's cold cure: 4 parts pineapple juice, 2 parts orange juice, 1 part cream of coconut, 1 to 4 parts rum depending on how bad your cold is. Mix it all in a blender and pour over ice. Sprinkle nutmeg on top. Sip while listening to Buffett or Marley. In 10 days to two weeks, your cold will be gone. Guaranteed.

WAT

WAT---

Is that cold remedy just a one time dose or repeat as needed? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

I just love "home remedies" like that! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Definitely prn - repeat as needed! One dose could do it, but why take the risk by waiting the 10 days to find out?

WAT

"Definitely prn" .....

see here WAT this is a very Pepper remark! ..... now confused folks are gonna think Iamyouandyouamme. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> ...... well ..... I say:

"OK" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

But seriously, no, I am NOT in the medical industry. I learned WAY more than I wanted to know taking care of my son. But, a lot of the terminology can be applied to home remedies, as well, right? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

"home remedies" ... uh-huh!

You watching the stupidbowl today and prescribing home remedies?

Pep

Well, yea. But I do have to go out to the "pharmacy" first! Need a Rx?

"If we weren't so crazy we'd all go insane!"

This is when being married to a sober man is not fun..... no blended rum drinks at our superbowl party!

Well ..... I find him to be so darn sexy sober .... that makes up for the lack of rum!

Pep

Yes, I shouldn't make light of this given the seriousness it can be to a lot of people. I consider myself lucky to be able to enjoy in moderation - prn! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Do you not drink any type of alcohol yourself? Or not around your husband? Or what? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

I have a favorite wine that I dearly love. I would hate going without my occasional glass, but thankfully, we have no alcohol addiction problems in the family....

I rarely have alcohol if I am at a party with my husband .... I have one annual event where I routinely get "smashed" ....

we make "knock-you-naked-margaritas" and then have a dance contest and karaoke contest .... it get's better every year!

I don't drink wine, it gives me a migraine.
