What's on your Tuesday Menu

Smooth Move tea is senna.

Yep! But I didn't bring any with me on this trip, so my bad there. Now I have a ton of senna tablets to compliment the Miralax and stool softener...and all the other stuff!

Just in case you did not know you can buy MiraLAX in premeasured size travel packets instead of portioning it in lunch bags and carrying it around like cocaine. Just saying.

I took so much "cocaine" back and forth to Italy, until at the OH conference you guys told me about travel packs.

Haha, I totally did not know this, thank you! I'd done the same thing a ton with protein powder when I traveled. Between that and me taking tea tins through airport security, I might be on a list somewhere...

whoops - I shoulda read all the responses before I told C_H about the travel packets!

Obviously I read through the same way. Part of why I don't always make it through the thread on busy days.

When I was growing up our street was paved with concrete. We used chalk to mark the bases and lines on the concrete to set up baseball bases and pitcher's area. When a car came we all went to the side of the road until it passed, then resumed the game. We had a baseball game going everyday in summer, spring, and fall. And snowball fights in winter. I learned to throw, catch, and bat very young. Sometimes the police would come and tell us to get out of the road, but we went back to playing as soon as they left.

My mother worried about us playing in traffic and petitioned the city to put up "Slow - children playing" signs on our street.

We did that too, in the 80s! They never cared about the street ball games but got really bent out of shape when someone (it was always a parent!) opened the fire hydrants for an impromptu water park!

I remember a few times when it was really hot and the firemen would come and open the hydrant for us. Of course almost no one had air conditioning in the 50's. Most of the time we walked to a swimming pool which was about two miles away.
