Oh, that sounds nice. What I have here is sleepytime from Celestial Seasonings. Add some honey, which has antibacterial properties. Did you know that honey never rots?

That is interesting since honey is a natural God made product and i love honey my fave natural skin and hair care products trilogy contain honey and i love the natural properties of honey honey rocks

12-20-2008, 03:18 PM
Youch! I would suggest a coffee cup with two handles so you can use the combined strength of both hands. I've seen them in medical supply stores. Not cheap but IMO worth the investment, at least from a safety standpoint. Oh, and here's your fluffernutter.

jesus loves me
12-20-2008, 03:29 PM
If i can find one i'm willing to pay the price. i may have a mac book by feb. soc. sec. gave me some of what they owe me and it's enough (just) to buy one. then i don't have to do this on my cell. have to go again. getting too painful to hold. may be back later. otherwise tomorrow.

Cool. I depend on my stovetop percolater for post-hurricane outages, which can last for weeks sometimes. Guess that's what gave me my utter distaste for camping out. I work hard for the privelege of living, cooking, eating, sleeping and toileting indoors.

Outdoor camping is pretty much the same, just more bugs. Went with my sis and BIL once. Once. Only thing that saved me was the percolater, which works just as well over an open fire as a gas stove.

No, the little 'uns don't need coffee. A good strong cup of black coffee can be a good first aid for asthma trouble, as caffeine acts as a bronchdilator. Not a substitute for routine or emergency meds but can help in a pinch.
