Guest guest Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 M, I'm in the Great Northwest. Seems this part of the country gets more than it's fair share of this pestilence. Which part of the country are you plagued in? I wonder why these these infernal things like glasses. I don't have any choice but to wear them as I'm blind as a bat without them. Can't wear contacts as my eyes are very dry. Maybe that's why the things go there. Who knows. Certainly not the white coats impersonating doctors. I love TJ's and thanks for clarifying the facial wipe name. The things have also explored my nether regions. Is nothing sacred? My technique is weird but I sleep with a menthol sachet tucked between my legs at night to keep them the hell away from my naughty bits. It works. Now if only I could do the same for my eyes.... <gentlebaybreeze2@...> wrote: > > Smile for you, btw, where do you live, Vbscribe? > > for some reason the love glasses, I already lost very expensive RX ones, not because of ;them per se, but of me constantly having to clean them, in a hurry I do crazy things sometimes, I am in a fast paced job and have no time for this mite whatever nonsense, lol. > > While you at TJ, load up on Dr. Bonners Peppermint soap bottle, I do not like bars, the soap bars that is, LOL again. the jar will say tea tree facial cleansing pads, loaded with great other ingredients, I love how they clean my face, I roll em up and stick em in my ears as well, a little into my nose, they hate it. I also use their tea tree facial wash, before the pads, use the pads to take prelim stuff off, or as a toner, great astringent as well. my skin is not my biggest issues, its all those OTHER places they find, I have issues with, there is a reason why they are seeking certain areas, meaning that area is the most in need of treatment, be it anti fungal or otherwise, they are attracted to fungi and moisture and anything funky...lol > > Hang in there V.....we are all in this together, very comforting for me, otherwise I would hit doomsville. > > M > > > > From: vbscribe <vbscribe@...> > Subject: Re: How Do You Get " Things " Out of Eyes?
