Popular Post Bort February 22, 2018 Popular Post Share February 22, 2018 I hate that commercial where the guy shows up for a date in a stretched out V-neck.

tanyak February 22, 2018 Share February 22, 2018 Dear woman in the Walmart ad who orders new pacifiers and sippy cups everytime her kid drops it and the dog picks it up or it falls in a puddle or whatever. Newsflash: you can boil them. Wash it in the sink, throw it in some boiling water for a few minutes, and then wash it again. Unless the dog has chewed it up, your kid will be fine. And while they aren't the most expensive things in the world, quality ones typically are six or seven dollars a pop. Why is she smiling like a loony tune every time she places an order? 10 Link to comment

mojoween February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 (edited) McDonald’s. Tell me something. Why is it that one piece of processed American cheese is going to drive every child in this country to morbid obesity, but Big Macs are what this world needs to make every adult happy? Are you saying that if they don’t get the cheese when they are younger, they can have it when they are older? Also, watching people chomp on Big Macs is gross. Quit it. Also also, if I’m walking into McDonald’s I already know I'm going to eat garbage. Don’t tell me how to raise my kid. And you want to promote healthy food? Sell a hamburger for four dollars and a salad for a buck twenty nine. Edited February 23, 2018 by mojoween 13 Link to comment

bilgistic February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 I have eczema, but I pretty much "grew out of it". I've developed a weird patch of it on my left calf. My knee and elbow ditches (inner knees and elbows) flare up in the summer/heat, and the backs of my hands flare in the winter/dry air. My eczema was HORRIBLE when I was a kid. I had open sores on the back of my neck and I would scratch my elbow ditches until they bled because they itched so badly. I would take Benadryl back when it was prescription and use a prescription hydrocortisone cream, but nothing really provided relief. There's a genetic component to eczema. My mother has it on her hands and uses a prescription lotion. There's also what's called the "allergic triad", which are eczema (atopic dermatitis), rhinitis ("hay fever"/"allergies") and asthma. Having one predisposes a person to have another. I have allergies, and have taken some form of allergy meds (Benadryl, RX nasal spray, RX and OTC allergy pills) since I was a kid. And now I'm itching from writing about eczema. 5 Link to comment

And now I'm itching from writing about eczema. I would get it on my scalp, and I'd brush my hair and come out with blood on the brush. That eased off quite a bit as I got older. But I get it really badly on my face and arms at times. Sometimes on my feet. I also have allergy issues, but no asthma. I used to have this thing (can't remember what it was called) when I was younger that I grew out of that might be related. My mom called it the creeping crud. She would yell at me for not cleaning myself in the shower - I'd have dark patches, mostly on my lower forearms. But I would wash - they just didn't come off. So she finally took me to the doctor. It's something where the dead skin cells don't slough off, and they turn color. For years I had to use a compound on them that had grit in it that the doctor prescribed, and scrub it in to the skin. That would cause the dead skin to come off, but often left my arms red and sore for a few days. My mom finally figured out that microwaving a washcloth and letting it sit on my arms did the same thing, and wouldn't make the skin so red and raw, and didn't have to scrub so hard. It still pops up occasionally, but mostly on my feet. 2 Link to comment

Ohwell February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 Another thing about the pacifier/sippy cup commercial: Assuming mom is stay at home, how hard is it to call the husband and ask him to pick up new ones on the way home instead of waiting for delivery from Walmart? Or, just stop by Walmart or anyplace else and buy several of them at one time. They don't cost that much. The commercial just makes no sense. 4 Link to comment
