Lab ear infections
Friday, April 06, 2007 | By Gina J.

Let me start by saying that I am not a vet. That being said, I do know that oregano oil (from a health food store, etc...) is VERY effective against many infections, yeast included. I recently read a study that showed that it was just as effective against many viruses and infections as antibiotics, and sometimes more so. It can be used topically, but dilute it. If you could talk to a vet who specializes in natural or herbal medicine, perhaps you could come up with a solution (literally) to apply to the ear canal and also a way to add some oregano oil to your dog's diet. I don't know AT ALL how to go about making sure that nothing in the preparation would damage her hearing, but I do know that a little oregano oil, aloe juice and colloidal silver mixed works wonders on diaper rash! Good Luck!

I have the spring fever too. Yesterday I started a lettuce patch on my apartment balcony and started germinating some morning glory seeds on top of the fridge.

I got the seeds for $.10 a pack, so for $.30 I had fun part of the night getting things ready for planting a balcony garden. I went to the library, but the books I got aren't that informative on what I want to do.

I made cute little planters for the morning glories out of costco coffee cans. They turned out cute. I spray-painted them pink. I know, I'm a dork!

I'm with you! I have spring fever too. I worked outside yesterday in my little herb bed, it is the only place that the snow had melted enough for me to work in!

I have a lot of chives, but I planted them far away from everything else; chives re-seed and you will have baby chives everywhere! They have a very pretty pink flower, but you have to cut them off before the seed drops. I never got to it fast enough and then the next year I had to pull chives like I was pulling weeds!

I also love sunflowers, though, I let the birds do all the planting for me. I feed them black oil sunflower seed and they drop seeds all over the yard, it is always a surprise to see where a sunflower will show up. I am so happy that you are sharing your love of gardening with your son! You need to take his picture at various stages of plant growth, eventually the sunflowers will tower over him! Have fun!

I don't know what style you have in mind. My sister-in-law ordered her bridesmaids dresses online and they were extremely NICE. She paid $82.00 each for new dresses. Go to www.bridesonlinestore.com. The dresses were just as nice as those in bridal shops costing $300.00! She ordered them on Monday and received them on Friday........same week!!! They don't have the spandex/sequined styles but there are several styles that I think would appeal to a teenager who is thrifty. Good Luck on your search and enjoy your prom!

Or you could use the veil as a swag at an event - or even as part of a window treatment (if you don't mind sacrificing the veiling, because the sun will eventually ruin it.)

I have gone to Hollywood galas & Oscar parties & worn designer dresses & never paid even $100 for them. How? I wore designer dresses I got at resale/thrift shops. See if there are any upscale resale stores near you- or thrift stores where rich ladies donate their clothes - like a Jr. League shop. You also don't have to wear a long dress to be formal - consider a shorter one you could wear at another occasion - look at the Oscars - not all the dresses were long. You could also get a long skirt & a matching/coordinating top to create the long dress look. The lines now are so simple, it wouldn't be hard to find a plain long skirt and then a top with spaghetti straps. Then concentrate on accessories - borrow vintage jewelry - and look for vintage clutch purses - then get your shoes at Payless - they have great style - you could also get a plain pump and accessorize with your own buckles/or use earrings. I covered the bow of a pair of off- white satin pumps with soft green ribbon to match the antique ribbon sash I wore at my sister's wedding as a bridesmaid. I don't remember how much they cost me, but they were a steal! And I really only did wear them once, so quality wasn't really an issue.
(See my article on bargain proms dresses on Associated Content.com for more info.) Good luck

Hello
A great place to get a deal on formals or prom dresses is ebay. What size do you need? My daughter is in college now and might have something you would like. She was also a festival queen and had to wear formals to all the parades. If you would like to email me my email address is toadiemarie@aol.com. Thanks and hope I could help

My husband has improved on my idea by using some regular dishwasher soap and adding a few rags. Works like a charm on the silverware.

Don't you have anyone in your family you could pass this on to? Wearing a vintage wedding veil is a nice touch to a wedding.

Choose a sunny location near a lake town or beach town in the USA and tell here hubby you two will be back in three weeks. Florida is a nono for you as BoBo is there and you sound like your still depressed about him in your blogs sometimes, but it will give you and your friend much needed stress relief. If her husband trusts her as he should you two should have no problem. Try Galveston, TX or even Atlantic City in Delaware. If money is an issue. Try closer to home like Tennessee or Ohio. Nashville and Columbus have interesting shops too. Kentucky is another with antique shops and homebaked food cafe's. Anywhere but here attitude is a good vacation attitude. Try it you may like it. I use this tactic every year. I will leave next week to my family in Arizona. I have gas money and I camp out along the way either in my car with a fold down back seat and a all season old sleeping bag that I got from an Army thrift store in my town, or a cheap motel sleep. Hope you have a good vacation.
