   I just enjoyed your guest post on RowdyKittens.com – and think I’ve found a kindred spirit in you!

   I don’t have an applicable degree, but I do have a similar passion to encourage, learn and share about living a more healthy life for our home and planet.

   Thanks again for sharing on RowdyKittens.com. I look forward to reading more.

   Best, Holli

   Hi Tina,

   I guess you are the one who wrote the funny story “First Haircut,” from the Chicken Soup for the Soul, the New Moms, books, right? My heart ached and my eyes filled with tears for Isaac and his bitter experience with the baraber woman. The story had taken me back to 1980s when my father used to take me to the barabershop. At that time, I was only 10 years old and I had always been afraid of barbers’ scissors, blades, and other tools. It was a very nice time.

   All the best,

      Thanks Christian A.K.A Jerry! I haven’t been as much of an inputter as some of the other talented members (most of whom have a lot more earned experience to add than me), but I’ll try a little harder to give my tricks now that I know they are worth something! We all just seem to fumble around until we finally get that break, ya know? Good Luck to you for the next quarters. Maybe we will meet at the workshop 🙂

   Hi Tina:

   Through a Google search I found your page called Miracle Cure about your ear problem. I have suffered identical symptoms for nearly five years. Like you, I have tried everything and some things that I think will help, actually make it worse. I have seen a dermatologist about it and prescribed washing my hair with Head & Shoulders with zinc in it and pushing the lather into my ears. That hasn’t helped. I’ve tried neosporin on a q-tip, ear drops, moisturizing cream, and so on. Nothing has worked and it is really bumming me out.
   You mentioned Elocon cream, but nothing specific. I beg you to share more details on the cure, even if it is not exactly a cure.

   Please help me.

   Thanks
   Pat

      Hello Pat! Welcome and glad you found my blog. I use a generic steroid cream for my ears now. When it’s bad my dermatologist tells me to swipe my ears with it once in the morning once at night. I’d recommend asking your doctor for a steroid cream if she/he thinks you might have seborrheic dermatitis. Tell them you want a medicated cream or steroid cream for this condition you can swab in your ear. Being direct is worth a try. I know how frustrating this condition can be, so don’t give up, relief is around the corner!!

   Another comment: what a beautiful picture. Lucky baby, lucky mommy. We actually have a statue at home, from when my children were small, of a similar pose.

   Just read “Pocket Full of Mumbles”.
   My reaction was to sit back in my chair with a bittersweet smile and say, “Oh my goodness. J’adore.” softly.
   Wonderful little piece. Thank you.

   Hi Mrs. T!

   How to pick a tolerable companion on an extended truck ride sounds like a clever variation on choosing astronauts. I mean, seems to me the main ingredient here is for EACH to own to a personal philosophy of not caring if they win an argument. Just saying.

   Any takers on this POV?

   I’m currently enjoying The World’s Funniest Joke on YouTube. I live for this humor because I have no life.
