Guest guest Posted March 20, 2001 Report Share Posted March 20, 2001 Cristi.... I was just looking at her pictures again this morning. I think shes the one of the recent challenge that I've picked that is most inspiring to me (probably because I look more like her befores! LOL). The top is definately different as you can tell by the straps, but I think the bottoms are the same. Girl definately shouldn't have been wearing those bottoms before! hehe.. but it illustrated the point beautifully. Lana >Has anyone see Diane on's before and after pics?

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2001 Report Share Posted June 10, 2001 Can someone tell me if it is ok to put about a tablespoon of your favorite fragrance in your bath water? I dont think there would be a problem seeing we put it in soap and bath salts. Just wanted to check. Thanks kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 10, 2001 Report Share Posted June 10, 2001 Kathy Good question but one that I don't have an answer for. We'll have to wait for some of the girls to answer that. How's it going, anyways? What have you been doing lately and how's the hand? Are you able to do any soaps with it yet?

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2001 Report Share Posted June 10, 2001 Hi Kathy, I do this all the time...don't think it's quite a full tablespoon as I usually just put enough into scent the water and make the room smell nice, but if your running a full tub there shouldn't be a problem. The only thing I can warn you about is the oil tends to stick to the sides of the tub the way a bath oil would and can leave a nice ring to clean up after Terri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2002 Report Share Posted December 16, 2002 Pegg sorry I cant help you there with teaspoons. I weight everything in grams But I was wondering where you got your gemall powder? Thx! Shaye stupid question I`m extremely math challenged so I have to ask a stupid question. I need to use .20 oz of germall plus powder. How much would this be like in teaspoons or tablespoons?

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2002 Report Share Posted December 16, 2002 Not to be a party pooper or any thing, but it's going to depend on the density of the powder. It should be about 1/5 teaspoon if the number I am reading is 1/20th of an ounce. I'm short on coffee and am not sure of the .20 I`m extremely math challenged so I have to ask a stupid question.

Don't be tempted to wash them off with water. Water neutralises the acidity of your culture and lays them open to mold. You can wriggle them in a bit of your KT after brewing has finished and then strain the liquid out (not to waste it). Or you can clean the scoby with a bit of distilled vinegar. Take heart, your brew sounds very active and just fine. kombuchaly, Margret BTW, there is no such thing as a stupid question!! :-) -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ <)))<>< Minstrel@... <)))<>< www.therpc.f9.co.uk +---------------------------------------------------------------+ We were not made for the here and now; we were made for the heart of God.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 I've noticed that when I use cane sugar (sugar in the raw, Zulka brand " Azucar Morena " ) I get more brown " ooglies " ('s words). I stick to the cheap white crystal sugar in the store and seem to get the best results with that. However, I've only brewed a dozen batches over a few months so I'm still a relative novice. > > > I have a scoby forming along with the mother scoby.

The brown bits are just part of the culture, is how I see it. Avoiding them would be like saying I don't want all the possible benefits of the kombucha.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 He should not get live vaccines at all . He will not get vaccines at all once he is on Gammaglobulin. GREAT Question!!! Yes and my son always got very sick with vaccines. You can sign a waiver as well as the immuno should be telling your primary not get give vaccines. BARBIE stupid question I have a stupid question .... I'm sure it has probably been covered before, but I don't know, since I'm new to all of this. Jayden is coming up on his annual yearly " well visit " and I'm sure he's due come new vaccines and such ... ok, so since he doesn't build titers to them, should I even bother getting them for him??? They always make him sick, and they obviously don't hold ... what do you guys do??? Deska Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Deska, I would say if he's starting IVIG, no vaccines. Double check with your immuno. Please don't be surprised if your pediatrician still pushes the vaccines. We have an excellent pediatrician, he just doesn't get the whole " PID " and " IVIG " /no vaccine thing. He asks me every year if Mark should be vaccinated. Used to freak me out (isn't he the doctor?) but I've learned it's one of those areas where you might need to be the educator!

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Deska  If Jayden stars IVIG, your immunologist should make it known to every Dr. Jayden sees. When Blake started, we were told that he did NOT need any vaccines & should NOT receive any. He told me that if the school asks if he is immunized, all we had to do is say " YES " , if they ??? it, then they can contact him & he would take care of it!!! Blake's Pediatrician, Pulmonologist,Hem/Onc Drs, ENT's and therapist Drs. were ALL aware of the start of IVIG and not one o them questioned the IVIG from there on out.....straight up, he NEEDS it he was getting it...  We had one Dr. the Infectious Disease Dr. was not aware or he acted plain out " stupid " & wanted Blake to be vaccinated, I really think he wanted Blake to " have an immune system " & thought that giving a vaccine to proove it would help..... but I told him I had to ask his Immunologist & the Immunologist sat down called the ID & told him that in no way was Blake to be immunized due to the fact he is getting IVIG. that ended th question of Immunizations as well as the vaccines!!! In Blake's case we can not even do the Flu shots....he is allergic to one of the components of the vaccine(takes after mom!!). Mom ot Blake, 16 Sever Combined Immuno Deficiency with Complete T-Cell Dysfunction...other issues but too many to list!!!! http://www3.caringbridge.org/sc/blakester The Greatest Adventure of MY Lifetime.....Just come see for yourself!!!!     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From: rfrench496 <bluemtnfarm@...> Subject: Re: stupid question Date: Sunday, July 27, 2008, 6:02 PM Deska, I would say if he's starting IVIG, no vaccines.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 --- thats not a stupid question, its a good one!! and one I asked at the outset, as well. Our ID dr says no vaccines, as long as the kids are on IVIG, and the reason is bc they will get those antibodies in the IVIG product, so vaccinating them while their on it would be redundant.... I did have a little hassle at school last yr, bc it was Brennans first yr in school, I had to have a couple papers filled out by our ID dr--the regular health dept form didnt have a check for this particular reason, after all, its not that they ARENT getting the antibodies.....they are just getting them a different way. This yr, we're starting at a new school, and Im not looking forward to having to explain it all over again there! valarie In , Deska Brown <deska66@...> wrote: > > I have a stupid question ....
