Public Service Announcement!

If you use Icy Hot to make aching muscles/joints feel better, be sure that you wipe any residual Icy Hot from your fingers before scratching inside your ear.  Yodeling, Kix

Thanks Kix... I'm going to keep that in mind!!!!!!  Hope the burning has subsided..... Valerie

OUCH!!! I have done that but not in my ear.   Jeanne

Thanks, Kix!!!  I guess that would go for any other body openings....

Also, when slathering Vicks vapo-rub on your chest, wash your hands before you take out your contacts. That sounds VERY unpleasant.  I remember when I was a kid I got in to mom's ben-gay and rubbed it all over like lotion - a few minutes later I was crying and then she put me in the shower but ho****er and cold water were equally miserable.  About a week later I ate an entire bottle of Tums candy.  It must have been a stage.

My sister decided when she was little to see how many red hot candies she could stuff up her nose - was working great until the candies started to melt! LOL Mom had to pick them out with tweezers. My sister today? She's a district court judge!!!!

We missed our plane to Alaska when I was a kid due to an unfortunate raisins in nose incident.  We had to stay at the San Francisco airport for many hours after emergency staff held me down and dug for the raisins with forceps - I was having trouble breathing and apparently fighting hard because my family says it took 6 grown men to hold down a 3 year old.  My nose ended up being broken and I was badly swollen and bruised for several months.  People thought I was being abused I'm sure, cuz mom got the stink eye every where we went .   I don't really remember much of  the whole thing, but I remember telling her "Raisin.  Nose.  Raisin.  Nose" on the plane to SF.  I think I might have been a handful as a child.

Thanks for the giggle, I have 11 brothers and sisters, this was like reading about my life ..lol
