Re: [QUAD-L] rash

I have had pretty good success with bag balm and making sure that my pants
are not bunched up in my groin region.  I don't know how much hair you have
in that area, but I have found it much better to keep it trimmed back.

I have also heard that butt paste and superduper diaper du (not sure of the
spelling) work well for most bad rashes in the legs.  These things worked
wonders for my nephew and niece when they were little babies.

Thanks to you all for your replies……..i’m much better after watching church 
this morning at www.lifechurch.tv

I must hope for what the new day brings.

Nan, I’m expecting my 1st grandchild in July……….i can’t wait 

I’m so glad you’re back on here – you helped me so much in the beginning of my 
journey

Great idea from W, Nicki.  

 

I went through a few years like that, especially after my parents died in 2005 
(my Mom was Christmas).  But now I have grandchildren (whose parents are too 
self centered and lazy to decorate or buy gifts - shame on my son!).  They make 
Christmas.  Their excitement is all I needed.  Also, I have an aide this year 
who LOVES to decorate for the holidays.  So, I've been shopping and whistling 
Christmas Carols and SMILING!  Big change for me.  I know it may be completely 
different next year, so I enjoy day by day.

 

Just remember, "this too shall pass".  Hopefully, when you have grandchildren, 
some of the joy will return.  If not, come celebrate with me!

 

Thinking of you.

Nan

Nicki, 15 years is a pivotal period for most teens. Nothing seems logical or 
worth while when you are 15. Invite a neighbor from the church to help you set 
up your tree.

Best Wishes

Thank You Nan and all of the others.  Last week, while I was in  
Indianapolis with Warrior, I attended a Homeland Security Meeting- Emergency  
Preparedness For Those with DisAbilities.  I found the session both  revealing, 
scary and informative. When such an emergency exist, government takes  the 
necessary steps for its survival first and then looks towards the population  
to 
help.  Many emergency centers are not equipped with a portable  generator. 
Those who live in beds are the last thought and those who take care  of those 
in bed are not considered.  So emergency preparedness begins at  the 
bottom. "each person for themselves" and the strong survive. So if you fall  in 
the footstep of the above, be prepared and start today. Consider food, cover  
and heat. Consider a small portable gasoline generator and know how it 
works. If  you are in a cold area that is subject to freeze, extra blankets. 
After you have  developed your plan, talk with your neighbors about theirs. 
Sharing is an  interesting way to meet people and make friends.
My point is, it all begins with you so begin the process to be  
prepared.
Best Wishes

I know Christmas can be hard, but remember how teenagers are and just keep 
makin her till shes 18 its your right :) and at least you did get your tree up. 
I was worried to whod put my tree up but my daughter asked if she could do it 
but she loves christmas and couldnt really do it at her place shes 21 w/kids 
now too. Just dont give up on christmas next year, because this year was lil 
frustrating it'll get better just keep your holiday spirit and itll all turn 
out good and it will get addictive. Have a blessed day and a Merry Ghristmas
