I had measles, whopping cough at 5 1/2, chicken pox, and mumps on one side when I was 16 years old. My Mom and I had poison ivy at the same time, both covered from head to toe. Betty

Even though there's a bit of mistaken history in there -- it was Columbus, not the Pilgrims, who had three vessels; the Pilgrims started out with two and ended with only one, the Mayflower -- it's still a beautiful reminder to us of how this nation got started and what its purpose was. Peter Marshall (son of the Rev. Peter Marshall and Catherine Marshall) has written at least three books documenting American history from a Christian perspective. I wish I could remember the names of all of them; one is called "Sounding Forth the Trumpet." They're well worth reading!

Aromatic hydrocarbons (like kerosene) can cause chemical pneumonia if they get vomited and aspirated into the lungs . . . and we all know that the first thing that kids do when they get sick, no matter in what part of the anatomy the illness is, is to puke up their guts. That's why making a kid vomit if he's drunk something like that is a huge "no-no."

It's still a violation if you give it away (b) Giving credit doesn't make it legal. It's up to the owner to decide if he/she want's their work placed on the net. Even if you can't think of how the author or owner gets hurt, think about the fact that piracy on the net hurts everybody who wants a chance to use this wonderful new technology to do more than read other people's flamewars.

I can tip toe through the poison ivy, like Tiny Tim tip towed through the tulip's, and never get it. Now my wife, that's another story, If I was burning weed's, and there was poison ivy in the weed's, she would get it from the smoke. Diesel

My mom use to make mustard plasters for our chest colds and sometimes bought plasters - they stuck to you and stung when taken off - I liked the mustard plasters better - Marie G

Mamie - I used to taste the Vicks also - Mom didn't know it - but when I was a kid I chewed a maple wood chair and also ate paper -when I reached adulthood I read that this habit is called pica and something is lacking in your body system -mom would say it was my brain LOL -------Marie G

Faye, I just got back and someone sent me a file on Inscho. Please email me, so I have your email address. Pat

My mother used to make us eat Vicks when we had colds and I agree with you YUCK. 28 degrees here this morning. Betty in N. J.

My mother put the onions on the soles of our feet and on our chests when we had a fever. It was supposed to draw it out. LOL When I was a year I got pneumonia and had to go to the hospital. When the doctor saw the onions he asked how they knew I was done.

Hi All, My mother made us eat vicks, YUCK ! My grandmother took raw onions and put them in our socks at bed time, when we woke up they looked like they were cooked. Betty

I'm sure Jerilyn was unaware that she was doing something wrong. Wouldn't it have been kinder to write to her personally rather than reprimand her publically?

Betty, Sounds terrible. At least the onions on the stove tasted so good. Couldn't really taste the kerosene.

SONG LYRICS UNDER GOD by Pat Boone (Just) three tiny wooden vessels Sailed the vast uncharted seas, On the beach, the weary Pilgrims Fell exhausted to their knees. "O, our God," they cried, "You've saved us, By Your mighty outstretched hand! We dedicate our lives here In this new and wondrous land!" (Chorus) Under God Under God How could we exist apart from God He saved us from each peril And through ev'ry path we've trod And we now can live in freedom UNDER GOD! The winter cold was brutal And the war seemed all but lost But Washington took courage >From the river he just crossed. So he knelt at Valley Forge, His prayer ascending in the chill "O Lord, You promised liberty If we would seek Your will." (Chorus) Under God Under God How could we exist apart from God He saved us from each peril And through ev'ry path we've trod And we make our stand for freedom UNDER GOD! They came to Philadelphia Our forefathers newly free, To draft a Constitution; But they couldn't quite agree. Rose a wise old man named Franklin, And he had just this to say- "We need some help from God here- My good brothers, let us pray!" (Chorus) Under God Under God How could we exist apart from God He saved us from each peril And through ev'ry path we've trod And we make our stand for freedom UNDER GOD! Well lots of time has passed now, And some people can't relate; They don't like public worship And they misuse "church and state." But don't forget Tom Jefferson- His words slice like a knife" "We all owe our Creator- Our liberty, our life!" (Chorus) Under God Under God How could we exist apart from God He saved us from each peril And through ev'ry path we've trod And we now can pledge allegiance to the flag Of the United States of America And to the republic for which it stands One nation under God Indivisible, With liberty And justice for all- UNDER GOD!
