What things bother you the most?

Well, last night while I was watching Shomuni, our neighbor comes banging on the door and yelling that our fence was on fire! We tore out the back to find out she was right. Yesterday was stinking hot and there was a breeze blowing, so we were really concerned, but we got it put out OK. Turns out our son, who is 18, went out the back for a cigarette (yes, he smokes, against our wishes) and had put the smoke out against the wooden fence :beatyou: The thing is, it was right next to our (wooden-framed) garage, so it could have goine up in flames too - and taken all of his music gear with it :sweat:

:shocked: Lucky your neighbour noticed and you guys were home! :sweat: :hehe:

How's the fence? Do you need put up a new one?

Yow. :sweat: :shocked:

Although highly improbable, I hope it'll make him refrain from smoking... :fingerscrossed:

Glad nothing got really damaged, A-D. :victory:

It was dark, so I couldn't see much. I'll be checking it out today when I get home :sweat:

WOW!
AD, you all are lucky. SOunds like that fire could have a major problem in hot windy weather. Guessing your boy will be more careful in the future.... :beaten:

On Topic: I have a friend who didnt get to go judge at a small film festival because her 5 year old twin boys became sick. She has been acting like a total cow since, annoyed since she had to do, " What she knew she was the right thing but she was heartbroken she was missing the Festival."
Like staying home with your kids when theyre sick is even a question. THe poor kids missed Halloween trick or treating. When I suggested she bring them over here for candy at least she just acted snarky. :shakehead:

It's your property. You can't stop him from smoking, but you can tell him he can't smoke anywhere near your house.

Time for some tough love: Turn the hose on him when he's smoking around the house.

Have you ever tried Quercetin? It might help, it's natural and really cheap.

Quercetin is a plant pigment that is found in leafy green vegetables, onions, apples, and other natural foods. Quercetin acts as a natural antihistamine, which can help reduce or even completely eliminate hives in many people.

I will be trying it. :thumbsup:
Thanx, Tu. :hug:
They started a few years ago when I was under stress but now they get set off by temperature changes so winter in FLorida is nuts for it. There can be a 65 degree spread in a couple of days.

Sure, I hope you try it and it provides some relief. By the way it has no side effects as with the pharmaceutical products. I use it for general health, but I have given it to friends in the past who have allergies and it has helped them.

You might have to try it consistently to build up effective levels in the blood before you see any results...but then again everybody is different so some might see results more quickly than others.

If you are going to buy it, I recommend www.iherb.com. Really cheap prices and super fast shipping. Feel better, Eve. :victory:
