Kate and sick kids

[Guest guest]

Kate: When we were in Alaska my DIL was very sick with a sore throat. We were stuck way back in the woods and she didn't have anything to help her. So she read through her herb books and finally made garlic tea. It was boiling water over fresh garlic cloves. She forced the "tea" down then ate the garlic cloves. She said it did help but she wasn't sure she would ever be able to do that again. I don't know if you could get your kids to do that or not. Probably not.Honey and lemon is good for the cough. I'm so sorry they are sick. What rotten little kids they are! you better not get sick!! love Sharon This email is a natural hand made product.

Dear Group:I have to change the "no prayer mention" rules. It has been very difficult for me and I'm sure it has for you as well. I think most of us rely on our faith (whatever it is) to get us through the hard times and to celebrate the good times and all the times in between! lol Today when Kate wrote about her children being sick I had a battle going on inside me as I wrote to her. When I signed off I wanted to tell her I was praying for her and her children but I didn't. I have thought about this so much and I know I must change the rules I had set before. One thing I won't allow is proselytizing or preaching. But mentions of church and family are normal, aren't they? It's not normal to not be able to mention what goes on in our lives and our faith is part of our lives. Please use common sense and don't make me look like an idiot who keeps changing her mind every two weeks. Okay? Fair warning! If I look like an idiot it's gonna be YOUR fault!loveSharon

Here are the guidelines for what is and is not acceptable for this list. Please review this because I don¢t want to have to single anyone or be forced to write to you individually. The reason for rules is so we can feel free to share MS with each other, what MS means to us, how it affects our lives --- and not feel we are being scrutinized for our politics, race, religion or gender. We share MS--we don't have to share the same faith, or lack of.This list is for people with Multiple Sclerosis, those who suspect they have MS or have a loved one with MS. People with MS sometimes feel that they are all alone and no one understands. We are a group of caring and loving people and we want you to feel at home here. This is a special place to share our lives, our problems and our good times. Sometimes there are things that people with MS need or want to discuss with someone who will understand. Well this is the place! We aren't only about MS. We have lives above and beyond our diagnosis. Please feel free to talk about your hobbies, your life, the weather, your pets, your family... whatever you want. AS LONG AS YOU KEEP IT CLEAN. NOTE: There will be NO personal attacks or you will be put on moderation and face removal and banning. I feel very protective of our members and I will not put up with flaming. Period. Thank you for your cooperation in making this a great group. If you have any questions about and of this please feel free to email me at wobbletowalk@ yahoo.com with the subject "OFF LIST QUESTION". Please review the following guidelines.Sharon (MSersLife Creator/Owner/ Moderator) andChallis (Co-Moderator)RACE/RELIGION:We don't argue about religion. I have a deep personal faith but I won't impose my faith on anyone. I ask the same in return. We have people of different faiths here. And, please, absolutely NO racism or anything that could be deemed as racist. Some people are offended or get hurt feelings. If in doubt--don't say it and don't send it. HOMOSEXUALITY:Homosexuality is not a subject for jokes, commentary, or any other discussion along these lines. Again, people are offended and get hurt by such things. I have gay/lesbian friends and family members and I know others do, too. This is not a subject for joking or discussion. POLITICS:This is a hot button and should be avoided. We do NOT discuss politics, politicians or anything along those lines. Please review the description of the group on the group page, too. FONTS/COLORS: MS can cause vision problems and many of our members can't read odd fonts (italics or cursive type), some colors are difficult to read (pink or green for example), background colors (highlighting behind your words with color) or Wallpapers. Writing in all CAPS is hard to read as well. I know we all like color and it's fine to use color in our fonts and smilies but please think about these guidelines and refrain from the "odd fonts", colors such as pink and green, and the background colors that make the words disappear for the reader with vision problems. This is a support group and we want everyone to be able to read all of the posts. Thank you for your cooperation.LANGUAGE: I wanted to take this opportunity to remind everyone that I do expect you all to use clean, appropriate language in all emails that are sent to the group. There members who are offended by off-color language and swearing. If you are angry and feel like showing it with "colorful" language--please seriously rethink that idea. We are intelligent people and I'm sure we can express ourselves without using foul language. JOKES:No off-color jokes here on our group. NONE. If you aren't positive your jokes are clean and acceptable then don't send them. No jokes about sex. If anyone wants sex jokes they certainly know plenty of places to find them. Let's all assume children are reading this group and conduct ourselves accordingly.I want this group to continue to be a pleasant place for all of us. I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable or feel they need to be careful if a child is watching and reading over their shoulder. A lot of us have children and grandchildren- -so please remember these rules!
