UH OH! I guess I haven't communicated well, Earlene. They cannot lie flat against the surface that they are sitting on. They have to be rounded (convex) on their surface area, not in circumference. Does that make sense? That is why it works so well. The pressure applied to each end causes...

No magical thumbs here. Just 70 year old ones. I was shown this trick by my physician husband, and you would be amazed how easy it is. If the tablet is rounded and placed on a hard surface, 2 fingers is all it takes to break most of them in half. The trick is magic, not my fingers. I have a...

@earlene: The melatonin I buy is a 3 mg. tablet that is rounded. If yours is as well, just put both of your thumbs on either side of the tablet, apply pressure, and it should break into 2 equal halves. I take 1.5 mg. of melatonin every night for various reasons. It is the dose that does not...

I will put this on my list to try, but it is hot where I live as well, so I don't know how well I would tolerate this, even at the bottom of the bed. I have heard lots of folks say it works well for them.

Thank you, Mary, for your quick reply. I will have to try this. I am pretty desperate for a good night's sleep. I sleep about 4-5 hours if I am lucky most nights. It really sucks the life out of you after a while. I am not a good daytime napper, which just complicates the issue.

I am quite curious about topical magnesium cream. Where do you get yours? Where do you put it and how much? The older I get, the less I sleep, and I can tell it is really affecting how I feel.

I had a front loading washer that was top of the line for a few years, and I thought it was waaay too high maintenance. So, I traded it in for a basic top loading model, and I have never looked back. The front loader smelled quite often, made my clothes smell, required me to buy products to...

Thank you!

Thank you!

I have been very interested in getting into growing hydroponic vegetables. Are there any resources you recommend that I should read to learn more about this? I would love to grow some vegetables that would not be eaten by all the squirrels in my back yard.

Jersey girl, the best vaccine is the one you can get! And since you are concerned about passing this to your mother, and rightfully so, here is an article that may ease your mind. https://www.verywellhealth.com/johnson-and-johnson-covid-19-vaccine-slashes-transmission-rates-5114945 As an...

I hate to hear this, Kim. He is living my worst fear. My husband is very high risk, and although I am very careful and rarely leave the house, I always felt like I should take a shower in alcohol when I got back home. I would rather be sick than him. I know your friend must be terrified and...

This is a really old thread, but since I was the one who was posting, I will share my experience with this recipe. I didn't like it. It is not a good shave soap recipe or a shampoo bar recipe. I just added the Palmer's in with all the other oils with no problem. It's an OK soap, but after 6...

I had a chronic UTI problems for years when I was younger. If you have never been told, you need to urinate soon after having ***. It's unbelievable what a difference it makes. Also, no tight fitting pants all the time. That part of your anatomy needs some ventilation occ

@DKing Most people have a more severe reaction to the second shot, if they are going to have one at all. The first shot "introduces" the virus to your immune system. By the time you get the second shot, your immune system can fully recognize it, and it reacts much more than it does to the...

Kim, you have done what you could to avoid delays in service. Try to let it go. You can't cure stupid.

I have not received this vaccine, but I always take Tylenol after I get a vaccine. It certainly mediates a lot of side effects such as fever and aches that I always have after I get a vaccination. I don't think he should take anything before the shot. If he has a reaction, they will want to...

I'm so glad you got it and that your side effects were minimal, Kim. I always get a fever and myalgias with every vaccine I get, so I usually take some Tylenol or ibuprofen right after I get the shot, and it seems to decrease the severity and duration of those things. I hope you feel fit as a...

This is a versatile side or main that I have used for years. If you are a vegetarian, you can add nuts for protein at the end. If you are a carnivore, you can add the cooked meat of your choice. It's good both ways. Slice as much cabbage as you desire or will eat in thin ribbons. Slice a...

I agree, although I find myself unable to ignore it when it is pushing disinformation on people. Perhaps the forum should ban conspiracy theories. That's what FB is for.
