Have you tried a light layer of Neosporin on your upper lid and brow bone area? Occasionally, when I'm playing with the dogs, I'll get a scratch on my face. I use Neosporin and it heals fast. Just use a very, very light layer because you don't want it creeping down into your Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01591893495803781535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-28679392165164401472012-12-22T12:10:12.783-05:002012-12-22T12:10:12.783-05:00Hi, CG!

My mother also has another moth orchid that's about 1 year old (a Christmas gift from the same coworker last year :), on which she cut the stem after the blooms fell off, since that's what the directions said to do. However, now the stem appears to be dead, although the leaves of the plant are growing quite happily. Any chance of reviving Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328210665966835173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-423056205881332782012-12-22T11:01:55.054-05:002012-12-22T11:01:55.054-05:00Good Morning, Cg.

My grandmother is a very, very frugal woman, and she used to be (continues to be?) vehemently opposed to receiving gifts, as she doesn't want her loved ones spending any hard-earned money on her, and she probably also views receiving gifts as akin to accepting charity (and my grandmother is a very proud, self-sufficient woman!).<br /><br />I Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328210665966835173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-18707549948541314012012-12-21T16:58:26.853-05:002012-12-21T16:58:26.853-05:00Oh Biz Morris!

Then I went to Land's End at Sears. After finding some nice things, I saw there was no way to buy them without waiting in line for at least 15 minutes. Plus, the cashier was hacking with a clearly contagious cough. It was disgusting, so I left emptyhanded.

True, there are those unfortunates who can find fault with any gift, but I'm sure your mom's problem stems from her health issues which affect her emotional and mental equilibrium.
