Cream may ward off jellyfish stings While I doubt Hilton Head’s economy is hurting in any way, this cream may help it. Around August (I think) each year, the jellyfish swarm to the extent that swimming is impossible without being…
Whine
I have to cancel the maids’ visit again, as they haven’t had mono before. Of course, with puny people in the house, we need their visit even more. Oh well. I’ll try to focus on having more unpacked and more…
Mono Sucks
Well, you probably knew that. If you’ve had it, anyway. The only good thing I’ve found about it is that since the closest experience most people will ever have to chronic fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia is mono, maybe those who…

sambear acted as chauffeur and patient advocate for curiousmay9 all day yesterday. I do mean ALL DAY. They left by 9, I believe, and didn’t get home ’til early evening. Our poor Leo has mononucleosis. She kept pushing herself instead…
Joys of Homeschooling
I cannot describe the marvelous conversations I am privileged to have with shadowkatt. They might happen at any time of the day or night, in the car, over dinner, while watching TV, via LJ or IMs—you name it. Thinking back,…
