Glynis, I hope Mary is better soon!

It's December! I go to Disney World the day after tomorrow.

I'm all checked in for the cruise!

Another thing with migraines, is sometimes smells can set one off. I have had that problem for over 8 years now. That is very frustrating because I can't always anticipate if I am gonna stand by someone who has just smoked a cigarette or is wearing some very strong perfume. I hope you get some results.

Thanks, we have figured out that vanilla makes her attack worse. I got rid of everything vanilla (candles, etc) in the house.

Aren't my painting skills amazing?

What an amazing thing to be part of Deb.

I took Mary to the doctor this afternoon to have her rash checked out. It's just gotten worse and worse, and Benedryl doesn't touch it! He looked at it, and said it was the worst case of eczema he's ever seen. He put Mary on Prednisone, so we're hoping that helps. I also have to slather her in Vaseline before bed, and put her in footie pj's so that it traps the vaseline, and the moisture in against her skin.

After she finishes the Prednisone, she has a steroid cream that will be applied for 2 weeks, and then off for 2 weeks. Hopefully, that will take care of it. She's is so much pain from the itching. A lot of areas on her tummy and chest are rubbed raw and have been bleeding. It's so sad! Luckily, her new jammies are really helping her feel better!

for Mary...it is so hard to see our kids like that..hope her meds kick in & she is feeling better soon.

16 more days til Disney for us! That HGTV special was great, my kids were so excited watching it. Daniel & Sophie were too little to remember most of the Christmas festivities the last time we went for the holidays.

I am still trying to decide what I thought of the HGTV thing. The warehouse is very cool! I don't think any of the other shows spent much time looking at the "behind the scenes" aspect of the decorations. Other parts of it just seemed to be a rehash of the material on the Samantha Brown show.

I have it on my DVR but haven't watched it yet. I'm looking forward to sitting down with the kids and getting a little holiday magic.

I am so excited for you and the others going this month! I'm also a little, tiny bit jealous.

I'm still working on dh for a trip this summer, but it's not going well.

Yes, but without her annoying commentary!!!

Just found it, Vicki!

If the direct link doesn't work, the video is on the ABC site on the Extreme Home Makeover page. Unfortunately, the one comment doesn't sound like a good situation for the family. I hope everything works out okay for them. I'm guessing they wouldn't have done the show if they were worried about problems so hopefully it's all nothing.

I have to install something in order to watch it, so it will have to wait.

I did see the comment last night, and it looks like it has been removed by this morning. I'm sure that they wouldn't have put themselves on tv if they were trying to hide their location.

Oh...it was removed??? I was wondering what comment everyone was talking about? What did they say?

Anne Marie, I hope that everything is fine on the MRI and that you find something to help Katie soon!

I also get migraines, and smells are definitely one of my biggest triggers, especially perfumes. I also get hormonal ones.

Fortunately, mine aren't as bad as some.

If anyone is ordering from Lands End with free shipping I would advise having a LOT LOT LOT of time and patience.

I ordered 2 pairs of jeans. They shipped me 3 shirts that belonged to someone else. To their credit, they called and told me the package wasn't going to have my stuff in it. So they overnighted my jeans. Fine. I had to drive to the post office to send back the shirts, but that was relatively minor.

In the meantime I ordered 4 more pairs, because we all know jeans never fit the same way no matter what size they are supposed to be. I ordered those jeans a week ago, and they charged my credit card. I just looked at the tracking. It looks like they sat for 3 business days before UPS took them, and now it looks like they have been sitting for 2 more business days without moving! "Free shipping" is 4-7 business days. Technically this is day 5. But if the package isn't MOVING it isn't likely to show up here anytime soon! I have to say I am not very happy with the way these transactions have gone.
