In Reply to: Anyone have a good home remedy for - Silly Girl
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 am going to make a cheesecake desert but have question for you ...sm
I am going to make a graham cracker crust in a 13 x 9 pan and then put a cheesecake layer on top of that..probably the ready to eat kind already made in the dairy isle. On top of that layer I want to add a layer of butterscotch pudding and then a layer of cool whip and then maybe top it with a sprinkling of butterscotch chips. My question is when I cut it do you think the pudding will run or slide right off of the cheesecake layer?? Making this for my dad who loves butterscotch and cheesecake, so I thought I would combine the two and make a yummy desert. Any thoughts or ideas will be greatly appreciated!!!
perhaps you could try a neti pot

neti pot
Look this up on line - it is the most reasonably priced answer to sinus problems. It seems sort of strange at first, but if you keep it up -you should see results. Sometimes the old-timey stuff works the best. The rest is just there to make money for someone else. Definitely stay away from the steroids. They are very damaging to your body.
Believe it or not.....the Neti Pot really does
it helps to wash out all the allergens from his sinus cavities. My daughter who is now 26 finally decided to give it a try and she was very amazed at how well it worked. She doesn't walk around stuffy all the time now!
Our neighbor has an 8 year old son who ENT doctor here in town said he HAD to have sinus surgery, so they did, and his problems only got worse. She took him to an out of town ENT who was mortified that they did surgery on a kid of 8 in the first place but said he rarely cares for sinus surgery to "unclog" sinuses.
He suggest she use something similar to a Neti Pot, which was a water pic type device. This child actually liked using it and it worked like a charm......it cleared out junk you wouldn't believe was in there in the first place. He rarely has had any stuffiness from allergies since. The surgery only caused scarring.
I second the Neti pot.
We use one, and it's amazing how much better allergy season is for all of us. I have a friend who is Korean, and flushing the sinuses is really part of their regular hygiene routine. She taught me about Neti pots. We even rarely get colds now that we do this routinely.
Neti Pot
Had never heard of one, so looked it up online.. Where do you get them at? We have terrible allergy/sinus junk almost year round.. so this really seems to work? you learn something new every day~
Use a Neti Pot every day! It really does help!

Have you ever tried a neti pot to cleanse your sinus
Maybe you should ask your doctor first, but these things are great. I don't have major sinus problems, but I do have an itchy nose from allergies, and my neti pot helped me. Here's a link to amazon.com if you want to check it out.

Galveston Island
Many years ago (1982) we vacationed in Galveston Island,Texas, which I really loved, but I'm sure it has changed a lot since then. . Key West was fun but a REALLY long drive. . My favorite ocean vacation is still the Myrtle Beach area.
Dump them on an island.....
let them fend for themselves.
Very true! Chronic sinusitis here, neti pots don't work for me but oceans do!

If you are going to NJ, fly into Newark, not out on long island. sm
Anything you would gain in profit on the flight, you would eat up on transportation to NJ.
I'm from Amelia Island, Florida (sm)
If camping is not your thing, you can look up vacation rentals in the area and get great deals on condos and/or hotels during that time. It is located just past the FL/GA line so very North Florida, about 1/2 an hour before Jacksonville. It is a small island, one of Florida's oldest cities, and an old pirate town. The streets are lit up at night downtown with lights in the trees and many of the streets are brick. (Can you tell I love it?) If you are looking for a beach area with more entertainment, such as Ripley's museums, etc., a similar but somewhat busier beach town is St. Augustine, FL. I will try to find the Website I usually use when looking for rentals and post that later in case you are interested. You can get some really good deals this time of year.
LOVE Amelia Island
We went there several years ago while visiting my sister-in-law in Jacksonville - I picked out a house there and would love to live there some day - hey, I can dream.
Long Island Ice Teas
notice I said pleural here  I love em' and can drink many! What a drink!
try this company - in Huntington Long Island
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)

Long Island IcedTea, ahhhh. just one, tho - with a straw.

Anyone live in NY City, Long Island, New Jersey area?
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!
Bought some Avon cologne Island Vibe - daughter came by (sm)
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.
I was in British Virgin Islands last week and it was 5.78 on one island we visited. Nmsg.
no msg.
Honey, I grew up on the south shore of Long Island, NY in hurricane territory...
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
