OK - who sent us the snow!!!

21 years ago

right now it is may 13th and we have 2 1/2 inches of snow on the ground! and it's still snowing out! can you believe it! i have been reading the posts and it saddens me alot. Al has a bad couple of weeks, he is in alot of pain (the grape seed extract didn't work), he looks so old and doesn't have any kind of appetite, so it's milkshake time here for him. ds friend was fooling around with the computer, and because of him not knowing what he is doing i am now using netscape 3! and cannot check any e-mails, ds is so busy--he signed up for baseball again, and is also golfing! dd is already studying for exams that are in the middle of june! what a girl! since our new used car is still not working! another major problem we are walking or riding our bikes everywhere, i do enjoy it (but don't tell anyone). i am hoping that you all had a lovely mother's day, i was spoiled with 2 different plants and a beautiful bunch of lilies, and 2 bags of jubjubs (candy, that i eat when i'm reading!)and chinese take out! and some young man (ds) cleaned up the whole kitchen and bathroom wihtout being asked! for all you who visited their mom's remember all the good times -- like when you were 6 and you made your mom a gift at school and she was so touched (I still have everything my kids gave me for mother's day and they are priceless). to all the new folks about there, i like to ramble as you can see, and i am having trouble with this computer, so here goes, to our new lady who is caring for her mom, get out there and make a doctors appointment for yourself and see if you can get on an anti-depressent, i have been on one for about 6 months now and there is nothing wrong to take something that will take the edge off of something, also because i am a canadian poster(like Glitter) you should probably pick up the phone and ask for some help for your mom, you don't want to be a sick care giver, also take each day and break it into a day at a time or like for me i divide it into 4's (morning,afternoon,evening and bedtime) it seems to work better that way for us, but everyone is different. i had a scare a couple of weeks ago, so now i am selfish! and don't feel guilty one bit, if i'm not healthy everyone at my house suffers even more! linda, i talked to sandra for a couple of minutes last night, but i wasn't feeling to swell, ran out of paxil!! and was getting it refilled! but she said to say hi to you! well this is turning into a novel, so if anyone wants some snow, let me know, there is now about 3 1/2 inches of the stuff and driving is bad! and to all our new friends WELCOME! and to everyone else, i've missed butting in! debbie

WELL THERE YOU ARE!!!! Sheesh!!! I emailed you and STILL hadn't heard anything....well, thank goodness you're alright. This is the second time we've had to look for you, Girl! ;-D

As for the snow....Sweetie: keep it!! If you and Sandra conspire to send it our way I'll just burst into tears and hide between the mattresses until it's all gone! Just rain here today: naturally I picked today to get a perm! hah!

Sorry to hear about Al, Debbie....and your car....but aren't you blessed with the nicest kids??!!! How special they are! When your DD comes our way to school, she'll be less than an hour away from us! We have guest-rooms waiting for you!!! I'm glad you had such a lovely Mother's Day! Our DD drove my girlfriend and I to Toronto for a bonding/shopping day, and we were also joined by my girlfriend's two daughters who live there! What fun! Of course, one thing I did discover is that I'm too old to power-shop for 8 hours!!...so sad....We had a great time!

I'm glad you're still taking care of YOU (and you're not being selfish! phhhhttt!!!); sometimes we need a good swift kick to wake us up, eh? They're scary, but well worth listening to!

Okay....I, too, write too much...lol...Suffice it to say I'm glad we found you again, keep taking care...you and your family and all of us on this board are in my prayers each night...and boy do we need it!

Hugs and Blessings

It's nowhere near as invasive as mint. It's an annual (or at least it is in our Northern climes) and I've never noticed it resowing itself... unlike evil mint that grows beneath the winter snows and pulls that high-school-date-in-a-movie-theatre-move where it pretends to be "yawning," but is really staking claim to surrounding territory. I have seeds to send you. Just send me your addy and I'll mail 'em when the time is right.

Using only Dreft or Ivory Snow for washing clothes?
Q
Comments (9)
Grainlady is correct. Ivory Snow Soap Flakes have been discontinued for decades. The detergent now made is still called Ivory Snow. Dreft never was a "soap". It was a detergent by design using compound molecules, one to pull dirt and grease from clothes and the other to suspend it to wash it away. And curiously it was the lack of performance in Dreft that led to the development of Tide according to the website I was reading. I found the history on it rather interesting, assuming it's accurate. In fairness, many people use the terms detergent and soap interchangeably. I occasionally say laundry soap, knowing full well that it's detergent. I learned the value of using higher temperatures in laundry. Comes out much cleaner and as said the enzymes don't work in frigid water. Unfortunately I don't have the option of a warm rinse on my washer. The sales lady who sold me the washer quoted that infamous "rag mag" that so many people worship as gospel, who claimed there's no difference in rinsing performance in warm or cold water. I've come to disagree with this premise but admit I haven't done any controlled tests to confirm. Mine is strictly anecdotal.. But then again, that birdcage liner magazine is so far off-base on so many things they have no credibility anymore anyway so I laugh when people quote it as such a reliable source. There's all kinds of experts out there. That's why it's important to do your own research and scrutinize the claims to draw your own conclusions based on the credibility of the information and sources you find. Common sense suggests to me that things like towels, washcloths, bed linens, diapers, etc, should all be washed in hottest water possible for the fabric and conditions for sanitation purposes. FWIW, I don't use fabric softener anymore and now that I'm using a good detergent, I don't need the extra additives anymore either, at least nowhere near as often.

Looking quite festive at your house! We got the cold today, in the 20's after being 69 on Wed!!! The mountains got some snow, but only a few flakes here that melted right away. Love the vignette on the old window (?) and Mr. Crooked Nose is tooo cute! I am also envious of your photography skills, but sure do enjoy your posts! You have been very busy and it shows. TFS, Candy

Lots of lady bugs made it into the mudroom Friday, and there's some in the sunroom. A few made it into the house. I told the girls Friday night that I was going to vacuum up the lady bugs and put them back outdoors (I use the shop vac and they survive being vacuumed up, so no harm is done to them) and the 4 year old was very upset. She told me I couldn't vacuum up her favorite 'pets' in the whole world and send them back outdoors to die in the cold, and she said she wanted to play with them and talk to them. (sigh) So, I told her we'd let them stay indoors for at least the weekend, meaning that as soon as she leaves Sunday afternoon, I'll have the shop vac out, searching out every one of those little beetles and returning them to the outdoors. I'm not sure what good it does---on every sunny day they are swarming around all the doors, trying to come in every time a human, dog or cat goes in or out. I don't really want to spray any sort of pesticide to keep them away from the house, so am resigned to them continuing to fight to come in and to me having to vacuum them up and put them back out until it finally gets so cold that they stop swarming. We even had a couple of them in the car yesterday. Oh, and true to her word, the 4 year old will pick one up if she finds it, carry it around and talk to it. She wanted to catch some and have them sleep with her, but we overruled that little plan. I think somehow they are even getting into the mudroom around the exterior door frame, which I thought Tim had re-when we repainted the exterior of the house 2 or 3 years ago.....so, we need to examine that area and see if there is a gap somewhere that isn't filled. I am so happy to see lady bugs of any type outdoors in the growing season, and they surely do eat tons of small pests because I rarely have any issues with things like aphids. However, their garden usefulness still doesn't mean they are welcome to come into our home for the winter. They can overwinter in the garage or greenhouse all they want, but I don't want them indoors. We still have butterflies, despite multiple heavy frosts and nights as low as the mid-teens. At this point, I'm not sure how they're surviving, but the garden does still have dianthus and salvia farinacea in bloom, so at least there's that. I've seen various butterflies flying low over the now-brown pastures searching for something, but I can't imagine what they're finding there, if anything. Even the native autumn asters are frozen and gone, as is the native blue sage, the helenium and all the other late-season fall wildflowers. We have the girls all day today, and then a funeral in Fort Worth tomorrow, so my brain hasn't even thought about Thanksgiving much yet, except the meal is all planned and taken care of. So, really, it is just a matter of cleaning house Tuesday, and then spending Wednesday getting ready. Oh, and squeezing in a trip to the grocery store sometime, perhaps Monday on the way home, before the stores get too crazy. The house has been decorated for Thanksgiving ever since the day after Halloween, so at least that part of it all is done. I know some people have Christmas trees up already and all that (why? why so early?), but I redecorated the mudroom's pencil tree, changing it from a Halloween tree to a Thanksgiving tree on November 1st, and I love that Thanksgiving tree with its Thanksgiving decorations. I think it looks a lot prettier than the somewhat scary Halloween tree did. The girls adore having a holiday tree in the mudroom, and both they and Tim have lobbied for me to keep it up year-round, changing the decorations with each holiday and season, but I am not inclined to do that because I am not crazy, At least I don't think I am crazy. It is one thing to spend a little time decorating an autumn tree for Halloween and Thanksgiving, when the rain is falling almost daily and I cannot be outdoors anyway, but it would be another thing to let decorating a tree seasonally pull me away from gardening time any at all once the gardening season starts, so after Christmas the tree goes back into its box and into the attic. Winter is my least favorite season, unless we have snow on the ground (which we almost never ever do) and it already looks like and mostly feels like winter here. I have tried to learn to appreciate the subtle variations of color in the wheat-colored, brown, and tawny golden fields, but I just cannot. All I do is look at those fields and long for the green plants and flowers of the growing season. When we drive past a field of winter wheat or rye grass and I see the green, that makes my day. Our dog yard does have a nice carpet of winter rye, and it is the best-looking part of our property at this point. It looks awesome, undoubtedly because the dogs fertilize it daily. It is small enough that it is easy to mow in winter, which isn't true of the yard in the years when we overseed it with rye grass, which we didn't do this year because the rain never stopped falling. It is hard to overseed the lawn with free-range chickens because they'll run around and spend days eating all the rye grass seed before it can sprout, and I'm not inclined to keep them cooped up in the chicken run for a couple of weeks until winter rye can become established. After Thanksgiving is over, I'll take down all the autumn decorations and put up the Christmas decorations. That's how I spend Black Friday, as I simply refuse to step foot in the crazy stores. Oh Lordy, I do not want to sound like my mother or grandmother talking about how things were different back in the olden days, but I remember how, way back in the 1980s when Black Friday was a big day, there were truly great sale prices you never could get on any other day of the year---and people still were civilized and didn't fight over the last Christmas Barbie Doll or Cabbage Patch doll or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle toy. We'd run into friends while out shopping the Black Friday sales and would stand and chat and be perfectly relaxed and in no big hurry, trading info on what gifts we had found in which stores, and I miss that sort of thing nowadays, with the way Black Friday has become more like a competitive, winner-takes-all battle of some sort. I refuse to participate in it at all. This year I've noticed a big trend by the retailers to be pushing us all to go out and Christmas shop this weekend for the Pre-Black Friday Day sales in order to beat the Black Friday crowds. Oh, give me a break! The retail world drives me nuts any more. We try really hard to keep the Christmas gifts simple and to focus on Christmas as a time of togetherness and making memories apart from the gifting. I feel like we often lose the spirit of Christmas if we pay too much to the retailers and their endless pushing of the "hot toys" or "hot gifts" of the current year. If the retailers want to get me into their stores at this time of the year, they need to have big displays of potted, growing amaryllis or paperwhites, Christmas cacti, etc......or maybe they could be sneaking the spring-planted bulbs into a corner of the Christmas-oriented garden center madness we have now That, at least, would get me into a store. It is deer gun season now, and even though we don't allow hunting on our acreage, it is a scary time with people firing off guns everywhere. We try to make a point of wearing red or orange every time we step foot outdoors during deer season so that nobody hunting on adjacent property will think we're a deer and shoot us. I had a bullet whistle by my head one day years ago, so close I could hear it go past me and am grateful to God to this day that the bullet, fired by a teenager two properties away from ours, missed me and our next door neighbor both. It was very scary, and our next-door neighbor immediately went next-door and read that family the riot act about irresponsible firing of weapons in such a way that the bullets are a threat to innocent people on their own property. Since that day, we keep the dogs indoors as much as possible because Jersey is the same color as a white-tailed deer, and she runs like the wind and leaps like a deer. Fortunately, gunfire terrifies her so it is easy to keep her indoors in deer season because she doesn't even want to be outdoors. The two smaller dogs probably have learned their gunshot anxiety from her, so they cheerfully trot outdoors to do their doggie business and they run back, pawing at the back door and barking until I let them back in as soon as they hear gunfire, no matter how far away it is. As far as we're all concerned here, deer season cannot end soon enough (the current deer gun season ends December 2nd, if anyone is wondering). The garden still looks pathetic and will for several more months, but at least the rosemary, sage and parsley remain green. Oh, and the onion chives and garlic chives, dianthus, salvia farinacea, autumn sage and malva sylvestris 'Zebrina'. The asparagus still is green too, which is quite vexing. I like to cut it back to the ground after it turns brown, but so far it is refusing to help me out by turning brown so it continues to live on, green and billowy, swaying gently in the wind.

Good rainy morning it's still so cold her and the weekend ended up to be rainy and windy (i'm having trouble with this netscape 6, but dd tries doesn't she atleasst itn't not netscape 3 anymore). maybe it's the weather but al has used alot of nitro spray the past few days and he is sleeping alot more during the day but isn't eating much, yesterday i walked in the sleet to get him cream of chicken soup. today we are going to ride our bikes to the library to print off an english essay (our printer ran out of ink) and i hope the weather holds up for us the sky is so black. but the grass is green with white snow, no leaves on the trees, no robins - can you believe that, it's downright depressing having to wear your winter parka and gloves. Al wanted to call his mother last night, all it was rom this woman was i think about you all the time, should i come over for matthew's birthday (matthew will be 22 on the 23rd), if i don't come over then it will be the next week. (i couldn't believe that remark, but then again because of everyones advice about this woman, i thought who cares if you come or don't come, you're the one missing out not me -- do you like the new attitude), plus everything was ok, sorry you're not feeling well but let's talk about me, oh well what can you do. dd informs me that there are 30 actual school days left this year, she is also so tired, i think she should sleep in for aweek when school ends, she is having a pity party for herself since -- are you ready for this one -- her average this term is only 90.4. (When reports came out last week, the kids in her home room, could not notbelieve her high average -- i have to tell dyu dd is a blon -- being yFinnish, and sometimesy acts ditzy (all acting)but she was disappoointed - kids. well it's tme to take the dog out -- who loves the snow and cold weather , so enjoy the weather everyone especially if you have sun debbie

Hey Deb....I found a article that was about "migranes". it said to at the onset of a migrane to take a toothpick and dip in in cayenne pepper and sniff into each nostril. Adding cayenne to food also may ward off migranes. I know it may be painful at first, but if it rids of it, then it can't be any worse than the pain of a migrane. Just thought I would send this tip your way. Hope the snow is gone and the green grass is peaking through.This weather has been unusal this year, especially in May, and today is a little chilly. I spoke to soon saying 80 degree warmth.

We are working today in a flower bed trying to rearrange stones for a walk way. Always something to do. Hope Al is feeling better soon, sleep is good for him....heals the body...Blessings.....HUGS Gabby

heydeborah...I love your user name. I'm the depressed newbie caring for her mother. I'm sorry that your husband is having so much pain. Your kids sound like they are truly precious.

I feel your pain. I have a lot of headaches and the occasional migraine. I read about your emergency room experience. Bless your heart! You're absolutely right. We have to find ways to take care of ourselves. I've got to get qualified for Medicaid and get some medical care for myself. I really need help with my depression. I'm glad the antidepressant is helping you.

Your idea of dividing the day into four parts (morning, afternoon, evening and bedtime) is a great one. It makes the day more manageable. We need to do whatever we can to get through the day.

I live in California and can't imagine having snow the middle of May. I'm a weather wimp! We had a tornado watch here last week that really freaked people out--very strange for California. I hope you get some warmer weather very soon.

I wish you the best caring for your husband. And no more migraines...(smiles)...

Aunnie thanks for the kind words. i will admit i hate snow at the best of times and we don't need it in may. however, it went up to a balmy 46 today! - lol. yes, i will also admit we have great kids, no problems with the law, no drugs or drinking, infact ds dropped his long time girlfriend of 2 years because she started running with the wrong crowd. right now he is going out with a delightful young lady also of 2 years and is catholic as well and comes from a great family, so we are blessed. i hope you didn't think i was rude about you caring for your mom, but we are kindof the same age, -- i 49 and am home ALL the time, 24/7 with Al, and i have no help except for the kids (oh, everyone, his mother and sister came by for 15 minutes yesterday, to whine about something stupid, but they didn't get the answer they wanted so they left!) i keep busy by quilting and knitting, and mostly donate things i make for worthwhile charities, if i don't have crafts i don't know what i'd do, they are a God send to me. i wanted to tell you that i was worrying so much that i lost alot of weight, - i am 5 ft 10 and weighed 119 lbs, no good, with the paxil (or if you go and see your doctor he will put you on what he thinks is best for you), these pills have made me eat and very healthy i must admit (we never did eat fast food stuff) but now i weigh about 130 so alot better, i would also be up all night, believe me when i say there is nothing on tv at that time - lol , but i now can sleep almost all night. aren't prescriptions draining, we have a plan where you have to put out 100 percent and wait and wait for get 85 per cent back, and with bills of about 600.00 a month - oh don't get me going - lol, but atleast Al still has benefits from the college where he works (he has academic upgrading, math, english and a computer lab to help adults get their high school, so they can get into a college programme, it is very sad to see a man of 58 come in with a grade 7 or 8 education, but worthwhile when they finish the 3 year programme). anyways, aren't everyone just great here, as i said before, we will probably never meet, - except linda (glitter) and i, and i hope we still are linda! - lol, but see you are writing back, so that's really, really good because you can divert your mind on something else and you get to just chat with super nice folks! anyways i've rambled on and on to much, and my furry friend wants me to take him outie (too afraid to go out alone, he needs his momma!) so try and have a restful sleep!

Gabby, i'm going to try that cyanne pepper, next time i have a being of amigrane, i did try the feverfew and it didn't work, al said it only gave me really bad breath! he tried grape seed extract, for pantom pains, i read a couple of articles, but they didn't work for him, but then again, everyone is different, but right now, i'm game for anything! thanks for the tip! debbie

It almost feels like home there....love Wisconsin, too...GO PACKERS!!!! When we toured Lambeau Field, I cried. I was so excited. One day I hope to see them play (football, fyi, Sweetie!;-), but it certainly won't be in Green Bay!

What's happening to that sweater you were knitting for YOUrself?! Still working on it? Is your daughter still coming our way to go to school in the fall? Like I said: our guest-rooms await you! ;-D

what a weird couple of days! guess what i'm doing right now, i'm typing this on our new computer, it is so weird, too fancy for me, it has sound and so many programmes, but the first thing i had dd show me was how to get on to this site! anyways i guess i should be happy not having to use our old 10 year old computer that our friends gave to us, so inturn tomorrow i'm going to give it to our neighbours 2 boys. we also have a large amount of money to haven house a home run by the salvation army to help teens, also had the towing company take the car to the garage, so we're still walking and biking and it's not to fun in the cold, i don't ever remember it being so cold in may high of 42 today (i do have a photo of ds after a snow storm on may 1 when he was about 8 or 9) dd and i took about 3 different cabs today to get from the mall, computer store and home, if it wasn't so far we both said we rather have walked. al was very stressed out about the car, and computer, but i guess you could call it a good stress, because it was something nice happening to us, if you can understand that. linda you won't believe that we also toured lambeau field and the packers hall of fame too, you see al is a big football fan to (his fav are the vikings), he played football in high school and also coached football for years and yearseven when we didn't have kids, ok the sweater....i started it this one is with lopi yarn this time, -- got a whole kit not even opened, my splurge, are you ready for the price....8.99!!, it's blues and cream and instead of a pullover i'm putting a zipper in. carley has one more year of high school, but she is still going to go to nipissing, and with the new budget, she'll be able to get a grant instead of a loan, plus she was figuring out scholarships and with her marks and volunteering, she won't have to pay anything! big load off our mind! my other baby, matthew will be 22 on monday, where did the time go, thought he was going to have a crying fit when he came home from work and saw this computer! he even said i think we should all thank auntie sylvia for the computer (this was from the money al was leeft in his aunts will). well i'm stressed out tired, so i think i better get ready for bed.

Hi everyone, actually it's kindof warm out right now (just brought my furry baby in!) and it's 9 out - so about 48 out so things are finally warming up -- i hope for our may long weekend, seems everyone is going camping, but not us. dd and i are making dolls - yes muslin dolls and dressing them for an english class - romeo and juliet, plus we are going to find out what this computer is really all about. i had to spend another ton of money today on the care 800.00 to be exact, and they didn't even do everything that i had written down, and i had to take the bus (too cheap after yesterdays cab rides), now i don't scare easily but that bus ride was scary, i swear every looney was on it (but not me of course - lol), then i had to get al afew more prescriptions, but i didn't get a migrane, i thought well we have a car again, i won't have to take the bus, went to the Salvation Army, got every 2005 woman's world mag, and bridget jones's other book all for 5.00 - can't beat that, and have sat on the sofa all evening looking through them while ds and his girlfriend were on the computer and dd and her friends went to watch dd's best friends dance recital, which was nice for her to get away (i hope she doesn't want to take ballet again, because it was more expensive than hockey about 500.00 plus costumes for 8 months of once a week lessons)but the good news was no migrane! well i'm off again to get things ready for tomorrow morning!

linda and i can send you some of that snow if you want, but hopefully it won't come back, infact we are expecting rain which is fine we can probably use it, but i'm still wondering where are the robins? i went out and bought some bird seed today, hoping something will come, but i hope its not the crows or ravens.

The hot pepper for migraines may be just the thing for you. It would be worth a try. You can get capsium (sp?) capsules at a pharmacy. There was a woman on one of the other forums that said she found out by accident that a Mexican meal with lots of hot peppers would stop a migraine from developing. She said it got so that when she felt one coming on, she would go to a nearby mexican restaurant and she didn't have to order. They just brought her the hottest thing they had on the menu.

Great idea, i can go to an Italian grocery store near by, and get some probably today, the weather here is so weird, it's grey, overcast and i can tell it's going to rain out. as for mexican food here, i think the most authentic we have here is the kind that comes in a box and you make it yourself - lol. i swear i think the people in this city think that the golden arches is fine dining - lol, we are not found of fast foods in our house, even though we live about 2 blocks from the fast food strip, i just hate those days when the wind blows the wrong way and i have to smell it. one thing i do notice is that i cannot use stuff like sugar twin, another interesting thing is strong coffee can take way a tension headache, which i wish i had instead of these stupid migranes. but so far these maxalit work wonders, i just hate the thought of 107.06 for 6 wafers (you put it on your tongue to disolve) and within 15-20 minutes it's gone!!but on the good side we get 85% back so it works out to be about 4.00 per pill, it's just waiting for the refund to come back, plus if i could take something natural i think i'd feel better. well if you have sunny warm weather, get out there and enjoy it and think of me still in my parka! debbie

Well, Debbie, it's not snowing in Chicago, but it is very rainy today and gloomy...I just hate gloomy days...today it is warmer...in the hi 60's, but we've had some very cool weather for May...the weather has sure been very wierd. I wish I had some advice for you for your migraines. Fortunately, I've never gotten them, but I do get to deal with chronic muscle pain in my hips, lower back and legs...I guess we all "have something"...I give you credit for wanting to try something natural...as far as I'm concerned, after 16 years of this unrelenting pain, I just go for the narcotics...I KNOW they will work and then I can get on with my life...keeping my fingers crossed for you for better, warmer weather...be well, Mimi

OK - who sent us the snow!!!
