Teatime

We use baking soda, for a ton of things in our house. The kids wash their hair with it. I'll pass this on, they'll love it

It's called St. Johns Wart. It's a vitamin supplement. She gets frazzled, overwhelmed very easily. The vitamin or herbal remedy takes the edge off and relaxes her.

My oldest daughter freaks out about everything. She swears by St. Johns Wart. She takes it daily and says it keeps her calm.

My dad knew I was pregnant before I did. He said I " glowed " lol I guess men truly are dogs

Lol, I hear ya. Hell hath no fury .. like a woman in search of a chocolate bar

You cut a dowl rod, and glue to the top. Little girls can use it to store pony tail wraps. Then you glue a cut little ceramic animal to the top. My daughters love theirs.

I eat anything I can find when stressed. Your green olives are a healthy snack .. you should feel fortunate lol.

I am on my 4th pimply teenager now. Their father had horrible acne, even into adulthood. They all seemed to have inherited it. We are a " non chemical " family. My kids don't even like using toothpaste. They have always refused to use traditional acne medication. That being said, the oldest is now 20 and completely acne free. They use good ole fashioned soap. They take measures to prevent the acne. The younger 3 still get pimples. However they feel dealing with it naturally is the way to go. This too shall pass.

Ally McBeal and Coupling " British" .. I have Coupling on DVD. Ally McBeal will be next. I don't normally watch TV. It takes a great deal to catch my interest.

If people want to get high, they'll find a way. Banning everything, does nothing. They might as well ban air while their at it. All banning does, is make it harder for people to buy the things that they need.

We had a problem with paypal / Ebay about a year ago. They charged my bank card for $18 .. 3 times. Because I caught it within 48 hours, it was dealt with immediately with no hassles. If you don't catch it fast enough, it's harder to prove and have it removed. I don't use ebay or paypal anymore.

I take absolutely NOTHING! and I never will. Regardless, I will find alternative ways to treat ailments. My dad's kidneys recently failed on him due to being over medicated by his doctor. I have had several periods in the past, where a doctor swore to me that something was safe and that I " needed " it. Well, I never took it and I'm still here. And those meds that were once safe ??? not so much anymore It does ruffle feathers, whenever I talk about medications. People don't like to told things that don't want to hear. It's allot easier to take meds than to actually deal with the problem.

I walk away, I don't answer the phone .. ect. I don't have time for it, mentally or physically. IMO, people who that are completely selfish. If you do listen, answer the phone .. you're only encouraging that type of behavior. It's like a toddler having a tantrum. If you don't give them the attention they're seeking by doing throwing the tantrum, they change their behavior and find better ways to get attention. Now a friend with a real problem is another story. Big difference there.

Misery always loves company. Faith in yourself, is the key. Not in your family, neighbors, friends .. but in yourself. At the end of the day, you are what it comes down to. The voices you hear, what you tell yourself .. is what matters. What we think = what we become. I truly believe that.

LOL .. that was funny

We're all right, and that's the point. Nobody is wrong or right. You have to live your life the best way for you. I can't stand for anyone else to tell me or anyone else how to live. We all do the best we can. Labels and judgment should be reserved for ourselves. You are the only one that can judge or label you =) I think very highly of you ... we all have our way of thinking. It's those that can wrap their minds and try to see it from other perspectives that impresses me.

Labels have come to mean nothing to me. I'm a stay at home mom, yet I don't sit around eating bon bons every day. I'm a vegan, yet I don't squirm and yell if milk happens to be in something that I eat. I'm an animal rights activist .. yet I'm not a member of Peta. I live in the south, yet I'm not a redneck. I'm a Buddhist, but I'll be the first to kick someone's a## if need be. I don't let society or the world define me ... what the rest of the world thinks I am, or what I should be ... maybe they should worry more about themselves.

I always say " yesterday is history " .. and I truly mean that. I don't hold grudges at all. It's not healthy. That being said, I also never forget and I always learn from the past. You can learn and remember and not hold onto anger. I find it's pretty awesome.

Don't have TV and if I did, I would turn it off Much better ways to spend my day than stressing over that crap.

Yet Another reason why I don't eat from anywhere, other than my kitchen. People have been teasing me for years, yet ... every time I read the news .. I'm so happy that only listen to what my good sense tells me.

The first thing I do, is put on some Jack Johnson .. optimistic music. Then, I breathe. I remind myself that there are others in much worse circumstances. That I shall get through it and come out a stronger person for it. Avoid caffiene and breathe .. breathing is probably the most important thing. I find when I'm stressed, I can't think clearly. It's like in Kung Foo Panda with the water. When our minds are stressed, we tend to not think clearly. Focusing and remembering that tomorrow is a new day. Nobody truly knows what tomorrow brings, therefore there is always hope ♥

One of my favorite Jack Johnson lyrics ....... But everybody thinks that everybody knows About everybody else but nobody knows Anything about themselves Because they're all worried about everybody else

Lol, my kids have school no matter. As far as the being stuck inside, yeah that I could do without.

I worked for the beauty industry for years. I stopped wearing makeup years ago ... coincidence ? not really.
