But she really loved it and I would take it to our bedroom and she would lay on it all snuggled up with just her little head poked out.

The VC can last up to 8 weeks and the medicine doesn't work BUT I already knew that... My best friend says I need to work with oregano oil, probiotics/green stuff and grape leaf to get my system to fight it. I've been back at work - got all the extra work done in spite of the rash and broken toe. I've needed to get in my shop but haven't felt very energetic for a while. Maybe I'm habitually lazy. My garden is in ruins... We had 3 tomatoes, one cucumber, one weird volunteer zucchini and one batch of green beans this year. I have had to stay out of the sun too. DH set up a work bench for me, lots of shelves and I found a drawer unit for my small parts. I just have to get in there, sort things, figure out what I have. Then I have some machines to finish working on. I would like to get DH to do a motor tune up tutorial if we can squeeze in the time. Who knows maybe somebody already has a motor tutorial and we just have to Google find it. If you look at my blog we are supposedly fixing up a house. We have had some other detours along the way. The weekend before last we got ready to take some of the junk that was in that house to the recycle place and discovered that our truck windshield had been bashed in. It took time but since someone already bashed in the driver door, we just replaced the truck - it was time anyway. We also witnessed a shoot out when we picked up the replacement truck. Life around here sure is an adventure. Nothing to lose by trying the JB - let everybody know if it works.

Poor old thing...at first I thought I didn't want her, but the more I look at her, the more I think she needs to stay!

Uh oh, it would appear that Rosamond is also an enabler. She states that within ones sewing laboratory they should have "as many makes of machines as possible"..... :shock:
p.s. that first photo sure looks like a red eye ;)
