Oh, and tea tree oil is great stuff. Use it for cuts, scrapes, back, foot rot, and other stuff.

1. Ladies and Gentlemen, do you wear perfume or cologne? not really. Sometimes I take hot baths with oils in them so I smell like the oils I used 2. What brand or kind of soap do you use most? It's liquid Dove 3. Do you use anything to scent your home (air freshner,candles, potpourri, scented oils, etc.)? Not often. 4. What's your favorite scent on a member of the gender to which you're attracted? Clean, soap smell. When I smell Old Spice it always reminds me of my father 5. Have you ever tried aromatherapy? If so, describe your experience; if not, do you think it might work? Yes, like I wrote I put oils in bath for relaxation. My favorite ex-husband's wife is big into Bach Essential Oils and uses them for healing. So when we're around them, we get lots of oil treatments for cuts, headaches. There's this one I keep around the house and use when stressed. I can't remember what it's called and doggies are tucked in around me or I'd go look. We spray in dog's mouth during thunder storms. I used to carry it when I traveled but got out of the habit when they banned liquids. Would use it before I did a presentation Another I used to carry is called Thief's Blend. It's supposed to be an ancient blend the thevies would wear when robbing the graves of people who died during the plague. I used it in airplane's canned air and in hotels.

yes, I have some. I have to agree with agirl. There are many things I don't tolerate well so is that a prejudice? Like I don't tolerate excessive talkers so am I prejudice against them? I wouldn't hire one if I interviewed one.

I agree with Lizzie. Also with plants in Amazon basin going extinct at alarming rates combined with both drug research based on plant extractions and so many plants not having been classified, we truly don't know if we will loose the potential cancer cure by our lack of concern.

I think it depends on the music you like and what one is looking for in a music scene. Working in Austin and living less than an hour away, I'm voting for Austin. That said, it's a hard place to be a musician in some respects. While there are 50 music venues every night, it's highly competative and musicians crawl all over each other for $50/night +tips gigs

Glad he resigned. Way too many jerks carry the bullets!

Linda, You are well loved. I hope your special day was the best! Love, kira

He's a riot.

I think it would be a grunt job. Lots of hard work and little to show for it - fired at the whim of the person.

I listen to KGSR in Austin. You can stream it on kgsr.com. They have loads of local bands playing live in their studio. They put out a 2 cd volume after Thanksgiving as a fundraiser to help Austin musicians with chemical dependency/mental health problems.

To Patty Petty.............. when Barf Boy and I went to see Mudcrutch we spent several hours in Hollywood Forever - the cemetary of the stars. So much fun. He just bought this paranormal kit. We're staying at a haunted hotel - Le Pavillion and taking a haunted New Orleans tour. He loves it and it freaks me out.

I rarely get sick so when I feel that bad, my energy is gone and I'm sleeping. That is really best for those around me because I'm not a nice sick person. (bitchy, groaning, complaining, pouting)

1. Are you a fan of soup? yes 2. What is your favorite kind of soup? so many. Right now I'm thinking tortilla. 3. Are you a fan of nuts? Yes 4. What is your favorite kind of nut or dish containing nuts? Love the macadamia nut - of course i love the one with the most fat! 5. If you had to eliminate either soup or nuts from your diet for the rest of your life, which would you choose? probably be the nuts

I love them all. Book readings are so cool. Theatre is so fun. We went to see Spamalot two weeks ago - a riot. Wicked is also coming. The Broadway Across America series is a good thing for those of us who can't get to New York.

Probably time. I feel as if there are so many things to do and I don't want to give it up to other people unless there's something positive to result.

Weddings are so much fun. It's like the best party-ever. Everyone's happy and celebrating. All your friends and family around. If you can take the pressure off and just have fun with it. I would get married every year as a reminder of vows and celebration. Square One - isn't Halloween the best holiday ever?? We had some friends that had a Mardi Gras wedding theme. He wore a duct tape tux and she wore bubble wrap. Barf Boy was a damn good looking cross dresser. Actually a few men hit on him. Other friends (from caving days) have been married in caves. Several commercial caves in Texas Hill Country allow weddings as an after hours business. Sooooooooooo pretty with candles lighting up the rooms and walkways....the dripping, lighted cave formations I love those weddings too.

Which wedding? Last? OK. Day of the Dead Wedding on Halloween. Everyone dressed up. It was at our house. The little picture that shows up with my name was the invitation. Married by a giant bumblebee. All the puppies had tuxedos and were the groomsmen. The preacher's dog was the flower girl with a giant flower around her head. We had the Grassy Knoll Boys play at wedding. It was lovely and fun. Too bad Barf Boy was sick and guess what..........BARFING!

Monday. I had gone to the dentist and kept my mouth open too long. Plus all the cleaning really does my head wrong. I shall have another today. I go to the eye doctor and when she dialates my eyes, I usually have a headache the rest of the day. Good thing it's gloomy outside.

early bird here

I remember some. Not great about it!

Oh to Echo and agirl, Barf Boy started his nursing career in Jan. He loves it. He's a night nurse on the Med-surg floor at a hospital in Austin. Geez, the man comes home with stories to tell....... ick! I hope to change careers.

1. Other than the official start of spring on the calender, what really signifies the start of spring for you? the blooming of redbugs and bluebonnets. 2. How severe is your spring cleaning bug this year? Not at all 3. What one thing says "spring" to you more than any other? bluebonnets 4. What are your springtime traditions? work, work and more work as school year wraps up 5. When do you break out your spring and summer wardrobe? it's out. I live in Texas. We have two weeks of spring and then it's summer

yes

Yes, I thought about it for my 30th birthday and glad I didn't. Soon became trendy and I'm not fond of needles.
