My Choctaw grandmother was forever applying poultice's to us kids . Can't argue with wounds that healed . Unfortunately most of the old remedies were lost as the old timers passed on. Even Mecurochrome / Merthiolate/ Drawing salves and the like ,that were used in the 1970's have been banned . Some say those type medicines really didn't work at all...........................But the wounds healed. I believe in the power of essentials oils etc., maybe mind over matter. Peppermint cures a lot of nausea and has for a VERY long time. We should have kept a scrapbook.
Yeah, I'm trying to get written stuff in case the lights go out. I have to admit, I'm really liking the internet, you can learn about anything, 24hrs a day. It would be a shame if we ever loose it, but just in case I want some reference material in print.
A piece of peppermint candy ( will do in a pinch )................ The candy cane was / is a secret symbol of Christianity ............ Merry Christmas , 12/ 25/ 2013
Hi Brent, we are very safe from the storm. It happened a few hundred miles away although on the exit, it missed us by about 4 to 5 miles (the edge of the storm).
without a doubt it seems the weather is changing, and storms getting bigger. I dont really know if they are bigger, or if we have more reporting/record keeping now, but its common sense to prep either way. am glad to hear youre ok anyways. my wife spent a couple years over there and has told me wonderful stories about the place. i believe where she was is under volcanic ash now. luckily the plants grow back within a few years of storms like this last one.
I hear you there> Every year we have extra money pain in to your taxes so that each year we have a "Fair" return. With that each year (now it will be our third year) we plan on $800 for stock up a little of this that and the other then we set out $2500 for a larger item or if we are lucky two larger items. (Not the size per say but the coast of the item) Now I know that $2500 is not a lot for some of the items but used of repairable will do just as well!
Yes it dose! I think that is what we should do! Thank you!! Sometimes the simple answers are not seen until someone points them out!!
I'm really big on making out lists too. Sometimes when it's in black and white in front of you it gives you a different perspective. It's easy to get excited, face it spending money is fun! But I'm not rich, so I try to make as wise a decision with my tax refund as possible, especially since it's another year before I get this again. There's tons of things I want, but writing things down helps me decide what makes the most sense.
