I made these [tasteofhome.com] for dinner tonight, and they were so delicious! I added walnuts to up the nutritional value. A great way to use up some apples!

....
I SO almost asked you if there were any homeopathic remedies for pink eye this wknd. DD had the start of it Saturday and I was like UGH seriously on the wknd. when the Dr. isn't open and we'd have to go to urgent care just for eye drops ($35 copay) !!! Or miss school this week before we could get to her reg. dr. and she could get them started...and there's way too much going on this week for this laugh out loud BUT I ended up getting some Similisan (sp?) and getting her going on that this weekend and it cleared right up. It says on the bottle it's homeopathic - is it really?? If not what is for future reference?! I'm so glad it worked....and fast!
there are actually several meds for pink eye. just depends on the symptoms, since certain symptoms can differ when one has conjunctivitis. but the most common medicine would be euphrasia 30c.
get it and keep it. it's tiny sugar pills, so easy to take for kids.

similasan IS homeopathic. what they do is make a cocktail of homeo remedies and put it in a bottle, so if one med in there doesn't effect you, another will. for example, the similasan pink eye drops have 3 homeo remedies in it (including euphrasia). it's a good thing to have on hand, and definitely useful when you can't reach a homeopath or don't know the basic remedy for the condition.
they're a good company.

i've used their earache drops. works like magic.

p.s. if there are certain things that your family goes through regularly (heartburn, upset stomach, nausea, pink eye, bruises, whatever...) it's worth learning the basic remedies for each and keeping them on hand. they're VERY effective, with no side effects, and very handy. that's what we do.

a great all around digestive remedy for upset stomach/sour stomach/indigestion/mild food poisoning kind of thing from some food/occasional (not chronic) constipation - Nux Vomica 30c. I never travel without it.

heartburn - Iris Ver 30c

nausea - Ipecac 30c

tonsilitis - Phytolacca 30c

Bumps, bruises, injuries - Arnica 30c

Cuts, wounds - Calendula Q (mother tincture - i.e. pure extract, to apply; it will sting)

Pink Eye - Euphrasia 30c

Stye in the eye - Pulsatilla 30c


A great general remedy: Kali Phos 6x
good for vertigo, headaches, nerve pain, menstrual cramps, during fevers, toothaches. and much more. pretty much if you are in pain, or feeling weak and dizzy, Kali Phos is great. It's just a cell salt found naturally in our bodies and works amazingly well. The pills look different than the other remedies. They're softer. Dissolve about 4-6 pills in about 2-3 teaspoons of hot water and drink up. You can take it every half hour or every hour. It's wondrous.


And for when kids have fevers, do
Ferrum Phos 6x
Kali Phos 6x
Natrum Mur 6x

in half hour intervals cyclically. So first FP in two teaspoons of water, then half hour later KP, then half hour later NM. and so forth. It breaks the fever, helps with the exhaustion etc.
We were stocked up with these remedies at home, cos as kids one of us was always sick (it went in cycles, poor Mum) and this trio never failed us. And we got some serious infections from being in random places around the world. Amazing meds.

No high heels here....don't even own a pair .

No heels? Faint Big Grin Heels are all I have. That and all kinds of sneakers for special things like hiking and trails etc. I've been only wearing sneakers for the last 10 months and may I say I so miss my heels. Crying

Trains and the highways go under water in several cities in the US. I hate those tunnels though. Hate em. Especially when driving through one, you can feel the pressure change, and it just goes on and on and on forever. I just feel trapped.

Excellent. I knew you could do it. Now I want to see it. If you haven't already painted your color, do a second coat of primer if you didn't.

Quote from Bronc View quoted comment :
Never EVER try to fix a garage door yourself, even if you think it's only misaligned. I did one of the stupidest things I have ever done in my life. I thought one of the rollers needed to be realigned so I began taking out the three screws that held the plate in place. As soon as the third screw was undone enough, the plate flew out and hit me in the head, just above my right eyebrow. I thought the cable, which attaches to a very strong and long spring, was attached to the door itself, not this steel plate. I was so wrong. The plate that hit me didn't just hit me... it was powered by that spring. I was extremely lucky in that I still have my nose and my eye. I do have ten stitches though, in a lovely "L" shape on my forehead. The swelling is going down some, although I looked a bit like Frankenstein's monster with such a swollen brow. The eye is already turning black. It's going to be a doozy.

So, do not ever ever ever mess with garage doors.
Ouch, you are lucky it was not worse.

We have the roll up ones that have a door opener, well the spring on it has broken twice, we have lived here 11 years. My dh looked to see if he could replace it but decided he would not even chance it. Glad he didn't.

I can't stop eating pumpkin seeds!!!! yummy We carved pumpkins this weekend, and I toasted the seeds too. Experimented with a small batch of worcestershire (too bland, maybe I needed more?), a small batch of hot sauce (my fave!!), and a batch of just salt and pepper. Nom, nom, nom......There's an angel on one shoulder, telling me "save some for tomorrow, you'll get to enjoy them another day." Eyelash There's a devil on my other shoulder telling me "the only way to get rid of a temptation, is to give in to it." Evil

Good idea on the water bottles, hadn't thought of that....planned on the umbrellas...although the forecast at this point is looking to be absolutely gorgeous Yahoo! Hope it doesn't change! Now what is weird is that the temp. only fluctuates like 10-15 degrees in a day whereas here it seems to be more like 20-30. That might be nice.

worship You rock.
great! you should get a beautiful aerial view of manhattan either a few minutes b4 taking off or landing. it's too bad they no longer allow you to take pictures at that time. they totally freak out. one time the copilot came back and told me i couldn't take pics, i think going to puerto rico.

you will also most likely be on the LIE (long island expressway) to go into midtown manhattan. in the 70's it's nickname was the longest parking lot in the world.laugh out loud
scroll down to *transportation on long island*-
quote- Indeed, locals refer to Long Island Expressway as "The World's Longest Parking Lot".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tran...n_New_York

unless you take public transportation into the city, most likely they will go over the 59th street/queensboro bridge that is in the title of simon and garfunkel's song. if you sit on the left side, you should get a good view of midtown and lower manhattan and all the east river bridges (williamsburg, manhattan and brooklyn bridges) Evil ask the driver if he is going to take the bridge to pls take the upper deck. lower deck you may not see much.
http://www.lyrics007.com/Simon%20...yrics.html

all the subways in manhattan run underground. all the subways run under the rivers except the J, M and Z which cross over the williamsburg bridge and the B, D, N and Q which go over the manhattan bridge. i'm not familiar w/ the subways in brooklyn so i don't know if they stay elevated or stay underground, go back underground or become elevated. in the outer buroughs some of them become elevated like the 4, 5,7, N, and R, the #7 goes back down underground for the last stop, others like the E, F, G trains stay underground till the last stop in queens. i do believe the F train becomes elevated in brooklyn.

when you going to a subway stop, try to make sure there is a green globe at the entrance. if it is red, it may be exit only and/or may be locked. also, many stops are local and go in one direction, uptown or downtown, east or west. so be sure to check the entrance that the subway is going in the direction you want to go in. nothing is more annoying than having to ride 3 extra stops in the wrong direction to cross over or under to go in the right direction and have to wait for another train. entrance to go the other way is usually across the street. uptown is on the right side of the street, downtown is on the left side of the street, just like the traffic when facing north.

be sure to pay attention which station you are supposed to get off and move towards the doors b4 the train stops if the subway car is crowded. people miss their stop all the time and have to go to the next express stop to transfer in the other direction. even worse to miss the last stop in manhattan and go to brooklyn, queens or the bronx when you didn't mean to. the river crossings take longer and then you have to find a transfer stop and go back. don't hesitate to ask someone in the car if the train is going to XXXXX stop, if the stop is coming up, and check the subway map that is near each end of the subway car. people don't always know every stop on their line, but if you ask somebody who doesn't know, somebody else will usually chime in and tell you. try to always ride in the middle of the subway. you will see the conductor stick his/her head out from the 5th or 6th car or the window will be open. always check w/ the bus driver if the bus is going to stop where you want it to b4 you pay your fare.

bring lots of layers. can get very chilly at night. also in stores, restaurants and buses.

You forgot an very important information on 'friendly target'Stick Out Tongue, just incase our tm4d is tired and wants to have some funlaugh out loud
i think the only target in manhattan is on 125th street in harlem which is a trek from times sq and i'm sure the prices are higher than normal but they do have clearance too. i think it's a 2 level one so that could be fun. i wonder if they have one of those shopping cart escalators. if i go to target in the city, i go to the ones in queens. maybe i can score a cheesecake there next wknd. there is one target nobody goes to b/c you have to pay for parking and everybody hates that vomit. we would all rather drive 30-40 minutes out to long island and shop in westbury by roosevelt field mall and in garden city than pay for parking. that's why living in the burbs is not much different from living in queens in terms of shopping. every wknd we would get in the car and drive far to go shopping.

manhattan is full of great shopping for every budget and no need to shop at places you have at home too. century 21 for clothes, accessories and housewares is across the street from the world trade center memorial and is famous among locals and tourists alike. i like to go to *lot for less* closeout stores when i am downtown. daffy's is good for italian and designer clothing and accessories w/ multiple locations and another favorite of my italian sil. other discount stores include filenes basement, tjmaxx and loehmanns. you wouldn't think so but you can find bargains at high end dept stores like bloomingdales, saks, lord and taylor and macys if you look hard enough and get lucky. it's nice to just browse in them also. also nice to look at is tiffanys, cartier, henri bendels, hello kitty store, sony store, etc. lots and lots of shopping and eating in manhattan. the problem is picking where you should go. lord and taylors, macys, filenes basement and some other stores sometimes have coupons. you can find them on their websites most of the time. i don't go shopping at those stores w/o q's.

My head is STILL numb. The doctor said he was liberal with the anesthetic, but my word... I wonder when I'll get feeling back. Or maybe it's best I don't. My upper eyelid is completely black and purple, and it's now starting to spread to the lower half. I'm in no pain, but my vision is a little bit obstructed by the swelling of the upper lid. I have the stitches taken out on Friday.

Bronc hug sounds horrible.. but you are so fortunate it didn't actually damage your eye! Hope the swelling goes down soon.. And maybe it will stay numb for awhile longer Smilie




I went back to work today after being off almost 2 weeks.. boy was it hard going back! But, I am almost done with my 12 hours now, so it is all good. I have eaten so bad the last few weeks.. And even though I like the junk food, I am tired of it. Ate pretty good today and I am making some meal plans for the rest of the week nod

We are gonna get some cooler weather here by mid week and I am pretty excited about it. Even gonna get into the upper 30's at night Smilie I love fall time woot

you are welcome.

no pics because of national security reasons.
they don't want people getting aerial shots of a major airport and civilian buildings/neighborhoods around it and then use it for terrorism.

it's federal law actually: you cannot photograph certain government buildings etc. if you're inside an airport, you'll never be allowed to take photographs at the security checkpoints etc.

it's usually in the inflight magazine and on the safety info card in the seat pocket. they will have an image of a camera w/ a line thru it. but they will tell you b4 the flight takes off that all portable electronic devices must be turned off and stowed away during takeoff and landing and the flight attendants include cameras as portable electronic devices. they will let you take them out after the seatbelt light is turned off. but usually by that time you are too high up to get any good pictures. i did get a good picture of a glacier in europe long ago when flying to italy but don't know exactly where that was and it's probably melted away by now and i did get decent aerial pics of windsor castle b4.

here united's policy-
http://www.united.com/page/articl...latedLinks

here's american's policy-
http://www.aa.com/i18n/travelInfo...nology.jsp

international airlines and flights have different rules. i didn't know at that time quantas would let you take pictures during takeoff and landing until i was reading the inflight magazine after we took off from sydney in 2006. there were some beautiful ocean cliff pictures that i missed Mad

it's too bad. i have gotten some good pics on the tarmac in denver i think and flying into ny.
