Lurking and keeping vigil over a very ill little girl. She has a cold virus that has caused her asthma to flare up. It will be a sleepless night.

Lau, your list made me smile, as usual.

Sorry to hear that your little girl is ill, Laurie. I will pray for her. I know what that's like, having a sick little one.

Thanks. :) I have a question that you might know about, Hartz.

I know that black coffee is good for asthma attacks but there is an herb or tea that is also good and I can't remember for the life of me what it is. Do you have any idea??

It's odd, a lot of the posts on WP make me think of a different time and of this song....

I have heard that sage is useful in asthma, Lauri. Just as a hot ginger tea is good for general lung congestion. Best of luck with her. - Nan

Somewhere between diapers, childhood illnesses, birthday parties, teen angst, growing pains and trying to have our own identity.

I'll be 40 in 26 days. I'm getting a tattoo just because I can.

It was the hot ginger tea. I have some in the cupboard. THX, Nan!

Via a wander elsewhere, a short arms list made me laugh, but I had nowhere to post it.

I'm just going to sit here on the rubble, until someone shoes me away. All the furniture is gone. At least the weathers fine, so the lack of roof doesn't matter, yet.

A cigarette and an Absinthe would be appropriate, except that I don't drink or smoke these days.

I'll just put my headphones on and listen to some Brigadoom.


I have no idea what this thread is for... but the ASCII art is cool :D

just remember, once it's there, it's there. pick something special and be careful where you put it. they do tend to bleed out with age, smudging as it were. and if you lose a lot of weight, well, think paper fan. the kind that fold up on themselves. :lol:

shall i requisition the case of black armbands for the "happy" occasion now?

Sure. :wink: There's a shop here that sends out birthday messages to place on someone's front lawn. My friend got 40 tombstones that said, "Lordy, lordy, look who's 40!" I'm pretty sure I don't have any friends that are close enough to do that.

The tattoo I've picked is small, all black and will be on my shoulder. Not a lot of sagging going on there. Other places on the other hand.......... :roll:

Ah, tame. Very tame. My kid hit me when I turned fifty with a "surprise" birthday cake with so many candles on it she managed to set it, and part of my livingroom rug, on fire! Black crepe paper everywhere, in the fridge, in my shower, my closet, my clothes bureau, opened the medicine cabinet - black crepe paper. :lol: The twit. Out in my car? The same.

We have a co-worker coming up to forty. We're going to stuff her entire office with newspaper, black balloons, and streamers. To the ceiling.

PS - You're probably safe with a little shoulder tattoo. If well done. (OUCHIES!! !! !)

:lol: :lol: I'm sort of glad I have boys. They don't think of those things.

Of all the mid-life things I've heard of women doing, I think the tattoo sounds the least painful. :wink:

Asthma, Bath for: Steep 3 to 4 oz. thyme in 1 pint boiling-hot water for 10 minutes. Add the infusion to bath water. (From my antiquated edition of The Herb Book)

Eucalyptus is also recommended, and camomile (Matricaria chamomilla) is thought helpful for asthma in children.

Thank you, Sleepy.
