Used to have to take 2 Sudafed (the real kind) and one Benadryl per day, then had to go to Allegra D every so often, just to keep ahead of my allergies. If I use the Neti Pot every day, I might have to take one sudafed a week, and we are in the Ohio Valley, which is apparently where all allergists want to live - very profitable for them, ha!

Seriously, i would take it to a deserted island if i had that option.  It's that good.

I don't buy from them online as they only recently (last year or year before) put together the website.  When you order from them, they also send 3 samples too for free.  They also, twice a year, have 20% sales, in March and September.  Name is Scentsational of Huntington, Long Island (NY)

I have a question.  If I fly to Long Island/Islip (Southwest) but really want to get to Jersey City, is there an airport shuttle or bus or something that I could take to Jersey City?  And do you have any idea how much that would cost?  I am not even sure where in Jersey City I need to get, probably a train station.  Local train, not Amtrak, not sure what they call it there, maybe "path" or something like that.

A ballpark idea would be helpful, especially since I am not even sure where I need to get in JC. 

TIA!

and tried some.  She was ecstatic.  Said it was the old Malibu Musk I used to buy them from Avon in the early teens.  I can't even remember the name Malibu Musk.  (I do however certainly remember their teen years for other reasons). 

Anyone else tried this or remember the old scent.  Seems like her olfactory memory was really triggered by this one.  She spent a long time chatting about the "old days" over this.

ya know how to duck and cover.  I've never been through a major earthquake or a real tsunami yet though.  Hey, there's always time for that.   Cat 

Hi All,

I live in South Florida and I am new to MT Stars.  Anybody else from Florida?

Always something to do and the weather was beautiful...

and due to the multi-multi ethnic groups here - MULTITUDES of different groups - we have it all in the supermarkets....

You never had chopped liver?  Never eaten chicken livers and onions together just fried up?  Never had chicken livers wrapped in bacon and then cooked?  Ramaki's I think they are called (can't remember)....

The Argentinians I just read eat twice as much beef as Americans....not a good thing...*lol*

I'm in Florida, and it is me, my husband, our 2 kids (son 7 and daughter 11), and my father-in-law, and I swear my FIL, who is 5Ǝ" and 158 lbs, eats more than my husband, who is 6Ɖ" and 345 lbs. FIL had to have a feeding tube put in last July, and I had to cut down meals by half because we were having so many leftovers and wasting money. Just when I thought I had it figured out, he was able to get the tube removed, so I'm back to making meals for an army. I just wish I had his metabolism as he just does not seem to gain weight and even had to go on high-calorie Ensure when he had the feeding tube to gain weight. I shudder to think of what my grocery bill will be when my son hits puberty  I don't buy stuff for lunches here at home as we (FIL and I) will just eat a sandwich or leftovers from the fridge

As far as special foods, we don't really buy anything out of the ordinary. I buy frozen vegetables instead of canned unless it is for a recipe, and for a while we were buying meat at a butcher shop but have had to cut that out for now. It was really good but was close to DH's work, and if he couldn't pick it up while he was in the area, it was a 45-minute drive. I cook most things from scratch, except lasagna because I hate making it. Once a month, we have a luncheon at church that I bring a dish and a dessert, and I cook Wednesday night dinner there one night per month, but I get reimbursed for the Wednesday night dinner. I do include paper products and toiletries in with my grocery budget but that's it, and I usually go to Sam's once a month for those.

I have it easy compared to my parents though. My dad got paid once a month, and there were 4 kids at home all the time, 5 when my sister came up during the summer. They used to have 3 grocery carts slap full of food, and my mom figured out that it took something like 18 boxes of cereal to last a month, each one with a date marked on it so we didn't go through them too quickly. And to keep my brother from using a mixing bowl and a serving spoon to eat cereal  We also had a freezer to keep extra bread and other things, and my mom also used to mix in powdered milk when the gallon was half-way gone. I never knew until I was grown, so she definitely blended it well.

about the little girl (Caylee) that's been missing for five weeks and her mom (Caycee) is in jail?  i'm watching the court stuff that's going on.  they are going to decide if she should get bail or not.  i've seen some interviews with Caycee's mom (Cindy) on the news, and she is a witch.  Cindy is on the stand right now and i just think the whole thing seems suspicious.  Cindy claims that Caycee has had this babysitter for three years and used to take Caylee to her and the mom has never once met the babysitter?  i think that sounds weird. 

anyway, it's interesting and I sure hope the little girl is still alive.

it's not *spoiling kids* what with Florida rates, that's a given.......quadruples for kids 25 and under.......check it out yourself....it's not spoiling.  I also moved out at 18 and did it all myself but I didn't drive until I was 26 or 28 so car insurance was never an issue back in the days for me.  Today, it's a different world and car insurance definitely depends on WHERE YOU LIVE.

If you live in very small-town America I suppose what you said is very correct......

There are plenty of beaches in S. Florida where they have found over the many years MEDICAL WASTE DUMPING.  So, no I don't agree that Florida's beaches are all beautiful..........maybe northeast and northwest in the state but certainly not in south florida......

just my take is all........

this is NOT normal......been in Florida 30 years and never heard birds in the middle of the night unless one is in the Everglades....and I'm not located there.

Been going on for almost a year.........it's very bizarre to me.
