I have to...Hi,<BR/><BR/>we have some Zicam, it is just zinc. I have to find the ones that aren't the nasal spray, I can't abide stuff up my nose. Likely a life-saver in the 80s.<BR/><BR/>If you like sparkly, treat yourself to some crystal ornaments. They're heavy and expensive, and I was afraid to put mine on the tree for years, but they're sooo pretty!<BR/><BR/>I got the candy canes last year, so Pier One is likely to have a different style this year. Wait for clearance if you can, I got mine for something like a buck a pack!<BR/><BR/>We live on the bench ... aka low foothills. There are hills up to the house, but nothing tight or steep. Except for the weird wiggle the street does down the block, that's just odd and narrow when the cars park curbside. The semi never comes up to the house; it isn't allowed on a residential area. Too darn big anyway. He's headed up to Pocatello this morning, the steel loads are due in Vegas on Monday, so he'll have Saturday off.AntiMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03326368510421690148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7103572554982418970.post-42945848362385204992007-12-13T19:35:00.000-08:002007-12-13T19:35:00.000-08:00Sorry to hear about your cold. Each time I get one...Sorry to hear about your cold. Each time I get one, I'm still surprised by how miserable they can make you feel. - Have you tried an over-the-counter med called Zicam that is supposed to make the symptoms less bad, and not last as long? Zach used it about a month ago, and said it really did work. <BR/><BR/>I'm also very fond of sparkly trees - actually, that's the only kind I do. I love to fiddle with getting the ornaments in just the right position to reflect a light, and especially to get the clear ornaments where a white mini-light can shine right through them. - Your idea of using your mother's and grandmother's rhinestone jewelry is unique. It does sound like a perfect way to remember them, adding more meaning and beauty to something that's already meaningful and beautiful. <BR/><BR/>I've been looking for candy-cane ornaments, so mucho thanks for posting about the Pier One swizzle sticks. I never would've thought of that.<BR/><BR/>Snow always mesmerizes me, even though I know I won't much like driving in it. Does Larry have to navigate any steep places or tight turns to get home? We have a few around here ... makes me always glad to get home, and to see Zach's little truck pulling into the driveway. Later, I go out and just stand in the snow.<BR/><BR/>Hope you feel better soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
