From real candles in the 1900s, a tinsel takeover in the '50s and drifts of fake snow drifts in...

I agree with the baking soda.

Do a Google search of Baking Soda Kidneys. Lots of stuff out there explaining it.

Also, try Wheat Grass Kidneys.

I used both for a kidney issue I HAD.

Thanks. I actually knew about that from when I looked up some remedies for a niece but didn’t remember.

I am feeling somewhat better, still doing the fever/chills cycle. Changes about every 2 hours.

Got the pound cake baked, might even get the cheesecake done later.

Back in the early 90’s they had the sets of lights that had multiple settings like chasing, twinkle, and slow fade. I think ours had 12.

I was sitting there looking at the wall behind the tree and the patterns the lights made. I got the roll of foil and tape and put it on the wall. Then I put the lights on the setting where it went through all of them. It was fun to change seats and try to find pictures.

We did that every year for a while but then the lights went missing during a move and it just doesn’t work as well with regular lights.

Remember when Angel Hair was popular to put on the tree.

What were we thinking.

Actual lit candles are dangerous! That's just asking to lose one's home. That's certainly no way to celebrate.

I keep remembering an old segment/song from "Captain Kangaroo" where a toy rescues all the other toys from a house that caught fire from a candle-lit chrstmas tree. I think it was Herkimer, the Lonely Doll by Sterling Holloway. I really wish those old song segments from CK were available online somewhere.

I could never figure out why I always had a cold around mid Dec.

In my 40's I went to an allergists.

Here I have been allergic to pine trees.

Just damn, living in the pine barrens and allergic to pine trees.

[trisham]

I’m allergic to every tree for which I was tested.

I love trees. :)

[mware]

The most allergic tree I found myself having problems with is the monkey puzzle tree. The points of that evergreen leaves a bump on my body when I make contact with it.

I live in Massachusetts, so that’s not a problem for me. I am only allergic to trees indigenous to this area. I also have asthma, and raking leaves is dangerous.
