OT-Sorry!!! Fire Ant Bites
Comments (11)Just a couple more old-timey remedies ...... I tend to react badly to biting insects, worse as I age, and have tried it all. I get instant relief from the itching by dabbing bites w/Listerine (the brown stuff, not the minty blue/green). This is a trick dog-people have used for decades, swabbing dog's 'hot spots' w/brown Listerine. Staying on the dog subject, for general all-over itchies dogs often get during hot/humid summers, take Fido outside and saturate/sponge him down w/apple cider vinegar (diluted if he has open sores). It really helps and he'll only smell like a chef's salad for a short time. One last overlooked helper is pure tea tree oil, aka melaleuca oil. It has antiseptic properties so staves off infection and is very soothing. This year, pup had a tick which I could not, even w/help, get a grip on. I dabbed pure tea tree oil on the tick and w/in a couple of hours, it was dead and I was able to remove it. Wish I'd known about these remedies back in the early 80's when I suffered a black fly attack in NH - I had a genuine 'cauliflower ear' - so painful!...See MoreOur 'Induction' Weekend - Portable/Painful!
Comments (15)Regarding portable vs. built-in- I have a built in Fagor and my preschool children have not mentioned any issues with noise from the unit. No, I didn't deafen them as infants since I didn't have the cooktop back then. I'm wondering if the fact that it's a portable unit is just a red herring. I'd suggest calling Fagor America and see if there are any know issues with the unit you have. Maybe see if it's a warranty problem. It would be nice to know the exact frequency of the noise, if only to have solid numbers on hand when complaining/talking to Fagor. You might be able to use a good digital recorder and get some frequency analysis of a recording of the noise. Actually, probably just get one of your kids to do it- they may be able to do it all on the computer/laptop with the built in microphone and easily available software....See MoreQuestion about my Pups ears
Comments (16)In a nutshell, take your dog in, do research, consult & pray. One of my dogs had a history of ear issues, she was a mutt, a Shepard/Lab. Ear problems can be caused by many things, and they can also be extremely difficult and frustrating to treat. I completely agree that money is an issue with any type of pet when they are taken to the vet. Personally, I feel that most (NOT ALL including the one I presently have and love) see an open wallet coming through the door when they see you. That said. Take it from someone who has spend mega bucks on mis diagnosis and almost lost my dog at least three times because of it. When you go in and get a diagnosis, ask tons of questions. Anything that pops into your mind. If your vet doesnÂt like it, you need to find another vet. When you get medication, ask for a time limit. Commit the vet to a date when you will start to see positive results. Then, go home a Google everything vets says. Research the meds. Your homework is going to save you so much time and frustration. IF positive things are not happening by committed date for the meds, ask they vet why on that date. Again, ask tons of questions you can draw from your research and what he/she said during original consultation. If vet wants to extend the date, ask why and make it very clear that you are not happy with what is going on. If vet wants to switch meds, get concerned. Vet probably does not know what is going on. Good luck! SG...See MorePost Wedding: What to do? (Sorry, v. long)
Comments (16)I thought I would address some of your inquiries - My husband and I most definitely talked/talk about this. We both feel very similarly about the situation, but I think he is more angry because it he felt it was embarrassing and disrespectful. I have let him take the lead in the situation. The last time he spoke to her was over a month ago. I actually encourage he to talk with his sister, but she has been slowly cutting him and the rest of the family off - she changed her cell and home phone numbers and email address and didn't tell anyone. Their grandparents were in a serious car accident a couple of months ago and no one knew how to get a hold of her. I absolutely do not talk about this publicly, however I do talk with my close friends and immediate family - my husband knows what I say and to whom regarding his sister. He does not mind and understands. I don't expect her to apologize for her BF's behavior. I think it would have been nice if she had said that she was sorry that she had to leave the reception so early and that she missed such a special day in her only brother's life. I am over the lack of apology and have been for months. I think that it is really difficult to say that this is only my DH's issue, b/c I am apart of the family now. But, I most definitely differ to my DH's wishes re: what to do in handling his sister. Except I do insist on the following: we send her a Christmas card from us. I have talked to DH about my suspicions about her being in a borderline abusive relationship. They really have all the telltale signs (isolation, withdrawl, dominate personality with strong machoistic tendancies, etc.). We don't believe he is physically abusing her (yet), but we know about the signs. I think we will continue to follow her lead on the direction of the relationship, but we are most definitely vocal about the fact that we care about her and would like nothing more to at least be civil. BTW, I had a wonderful time at my wedding and reception. I didn't realize half of the things that happened were going on until after the honeymoon. My brother, DH's BM and ushers, and other loved ones worked at handling everything discreetly. I think most guests didn't even know that these things happened too. I know my Grandmothers had/have no clue. I guess we will just continue to send cards to her for her birthday and holidays, for now. I guess I just wanted to check to see if DH and I should be doing more. DH and I are extremely close to my family, and it pains me that we can't establish a good relationship with his sister. But, I think I just need to come to terms with the fact that it isn't my fault - she doesn't understand how to have a relationship with anyone in her own family. She actually makes her own Mom cry when they talk by telling their Mom that she is fat and needs to loose weight and criticises her about her hair, clothes, etc. It is awful. Jenny is really mean and horrid to all of these people who love her so much. I truly do not understand her. My DH thinks that there is something broken in his sister - they are sooo different. It is amazing that they are siblings. I believe that she has a predisposition to be mean, but that she has also attached herself to a person (her BF) who is like poison. BF has the attitude that you should only have to do what you want to do no matter what, that he and Jenny are right, if anyone disgrees "F@#! them" - sorry for the language, but I've actually heard his say this before about several people. Sigh! Well, thank you for letting me vent. I wish that there was a solution to making the situation better, but there doesn't seem to be a magic bullet. I just have to let go of the idea that all siblings and families relationships work in a particular way when certain criteria are met - it just isn't so. I wish there was an explaination for her behavior - it just doesn't make any sense to me. Yes, her Mom and Dad aren't perfect, but I think there is something really wrong and illogical to her behavior....See MoreElmer J Fudd
