I don’t think you’re ignorant, rigs. I do think that you’re firm in your opinions, but that’s an entirely different thing and possibly not really what the other poster was looking for. Especially if their opinion differs from yours. Also, I think you’re quite intelligent and always willing to pitch in with helpful nursing stuff. For instance, if you could tell me right now why my tongue has been numb since I started taking Cipro I’d be truly grateful.
Well, I’m back home now. Getting ready for another wild and crazy week!!!
To me, it’s just waaaay too strong. I can’t use it, it bother my skin and my sinuses (for the record I generally use the unscented Dove soap). Didn’t bother me so much before but my skin has gotten more sensitive since I was pregnant.
Doesn’t bother me so much scent wise when other people use it, just when they’re fresh from the shower.
herbs, hubby wears it the formal Gulf arab way: fold the cloth in half into a triangle, place the long folded side (hypotenuse?) across the front, so the point hangs down the middle of the back and then flip the other pointy sides back behind your shoulders (sometimes folded over the top of the head, which I think is what you’re talking about). If the folds over the top of the head are sharp enough, it can look like, and is often called, a cobra! It is then held in place with the igaal (the coiled black rope thingy). Hubby’s may be a bit crooked, because HRH loves to pull things off your head. She doesn’t like anything on her head, so nobody should have anything on their heads!
I am both far too amused by and rather sympathetic to the swans that live in the pond right in front of the building I work in. (We have ducks, too, mostly mallards. I always stop and greet the birds on my way in or out. Why yes, I’m weird.) There are signs by the pond warning that the swans can be very protective of their nests. I’ve known for years that geese can be mean bastards so I’ve been wondering when the swans were going to do more than cruise around the pond looking beautiful – I assumed that once spring came and they decided to make little swans that they would become more obviously aggressive.
Turns out that spring really is coming now, because suddenly they’ve built a nest with the huge pile o’ straw that’s provided for them in a specially built shelter (the “Swan Suite”, a bit cutesy but nice swan housing). Within the last week the male of the pair has decided to try to bite anybody who comes within about two feet of the edge of the pond, even if it’s far away from the nest proper. He damn near got the toe of my boot the other day.
Yep, spring’s coming, the swans are getting mean! I can’t get anywhere near close enough to see if there are eggs yet, but I’m guessing there will be some soon. I can’t wait to see if they have babies, they’d be adorable. Probably mean. But adorable nonetheless.
It’s not. Frigidaire (made by Electrolux) dishwashers are widely regarded as junk. It’s apparently very common for them to start leaking or for their electronic controls to go bad.
When you go shopping for a new one, keep an eye on Sears - most of their appliances are being made by Electrolux now. You’ll probably be better off getting something from one of the many brands made by Whirlpool.
