MiDAs TouCH

i never considered myself a big crier. i cry over
understandable things like when hutch was born,
or when a family on my caseload at work
was overwhelmingly tragic,
but other than that, there are few things
that have gotten the better of me in
the past several years.

they include:
-being forced to attend a murder mystery party, or any party where you're reqired to be in costume and/or character. i struggle with it, and it's not my thing.
-trying to sleep in the height of denver summer in a house (although a very cute one) with no a/c or crosswinds in general.
-the time i had the flu that resulted in getting 30+ canker sores in my mouth.
-poison ivy

that last one has been my kryptonite for the past week and managed to bring me to tears multiple times. my options for relief were limited since i'm con nino, so i've been smeared with calomine lotion, which has done a less than efficient job. but i have been saved by the recommendation of alex's boss' wife. the wash i am about to reveal costs $35 for 1oz, but is worth countless times that much. at this point i would have drained our savings for a cure anyway.

so, current and future victims of poison ivy, there is hope. i am now passionate about this product and am contemplating becoming a distributor. ladies and gentlemen, i present to you, zanfel:

Maybe you'll have to name your next child after your poison ivy salve. That's what one mother did out of gratitude. She named her son after Grove’s Laxative Bromo Quinine. Apparently, Mrs. Crim was so thankful for this "laxative" for saving her son's life that she legally changed her son's name to Bromo Quinine Crim. In response, the company printed the story on their packaging and promised to pay for the child's college expenses when he grew up. True story, apparently.
