Sorry to say, but this site has been so depressing for a few days. I thought I'd ask an average, everyday question....to make us all feel a little more normal today.
I made Eggplant Lasagna, and my BIL and SIL are coming for dinner. They leave for Cali tomorrow to see their beautiful grand daughter.
Sorry, sometimes we just need some REGULAR conversation.......or at least THIS caregiver does.
My dad used that a lot! Unfortunately, I inherited all of his allergies! Maybe I will try that.
Where did you buy it, specialty shop or ordinary grocery store?
that you grill without batter or anything.
I really liked it.
My husband has an epi pen for a Turkey allergy . He always asks in restaurants. He travels with his job. So far he’s been given Turkey bacon by accident and Turkey soup instead of chicken noodle. He now never gets any bacon or chicken soup out. Luckily he knew as soon as he tasted it and took a Benadryl . So far he has to eat more than a taste to have his throat close up . Which did happen once at someone’s house .
My brother ended up in the hospital with the same issue as you. He is severely allergic to shrimp. There is no tolerance for cross contamination in these situations. He’s so careful when he eats out by asking questions about food prep.
I have a bazillion allergies and asthma. I had a systemic reaction to my allergy shots. I never reached maintenance. I always did as I was told and waited after being given my weekly injections.
I was driving home and decided to stop by my parents. I’m so glad that I did stop. I started having really strange symptoms and had a rash all over me. Then, my throat started closing up, I had difficulty swallowing.
My mom told me to call the medical center where I received my shots. The tech told me to go to the nearest hospital. I nearly died from my reaction. They pumped me with steroids and kept me in the hospital for awhile.
I love almond butter and peanut butter.
Oh, I have stopped people from doing it. They laugh at me and I laugh back but I tell them, ‘Don’t you dare put that peanut butter knife in my jelly jar!’ LOL 😆
I feel exactly the same way:
“I hate if someone puts the same knife in the peanut butter jar and jelly jar.”
But by chance, I’ve gone through my whole life, never meeting anyone who uses the same knife.
Same here. I think hotel hot tubs are gross! I don’t care how expensive the hotel is, I can’t do soak in their hot tub.
Way,
I have the spoon issue too! LOL
I don’t like peanut butter and jelly together anyway .
I eat them both but not at the same meal .
I agree though , separate knives .
My mom and grandma became ‘dump and pour’ cooks! They could eyeball everything and it was delicious! I think this naturally occurs in long time cooks.
I have some weird quirks too! I hate if someone puts the same knife in the peanut butter jar and jelly jar. 😆 I use two separate knives because I don’t want peanut butter mixed in my preserves or preserves mixed in with my peanut butter.
So, I'm not for any public bathing facilities at all.
Ball pits and jump pits at the trampoline places are both guaranteed to make you sick. So happy to see other fun things brought in that can be cleaned.
I reluctantly let my kids in a ball pit a few times but it was an outdoor one . I rationalized it by saying the sun killed germs .
Not a fan of hotels to begin with . I say that as I’m staying in one on the beach right now. But since I no longer live on an island or near the coast and love the beach , I have no choice . 😬🙄. .
You can tell which kids weren’t exposed to germs because they miss more school.
Do you remember those ball pits that kids played in? Oh gosh! They were germ pits! I hated those things! LOL 😆
This is gross 🤮, but I heard stories of kids throwing up in those and they weren’t cleaned.
How would you keep those things sanitized?
Yep! Have seen that. I had one child who loved her pacifier and the other one who didn’t want anything to do with it. Neither were thumb suckers, but some kids love to suck their thumbs.
Need, I see that too and it doesn't bother me as much as mom picking it up off the floor inside, maybe sucking on it and then returning to baby. But, all the minimum exposure really does build immunity.
Science has proven that there are organisms in the soil that build our gut health and immunity, so the dirt is actually healthy. Here's to more children having the opportunity to bake and taste mud pies. 🎊
And if you are a good mommy you put the soother in your own mouth first before you hand it back to the baby!
I think anything can be taken to extremes. Unless we live in a bubble, we are going to be exposed to germs.
That’s interesting about the boiling water in food. I didn’t know about that.
I have seen moms pick up pacifiers on the playground and wipe off the dirt and stick it back in their child’s mouth! LOL 😆
