Shopping for Peppermint Oil?
Try the baking section of your grocery store. Also, ask at your pharmacy. Around this time of year they start to display those little bottles of flavorings. Peppermint extract is not the same thing. Good luck!
Tecnu Spray for Treating Poison Ivy Rash
We have been using Tecnu for years and every summer I say, God bless the inventors of Tecnu.
Splitting Pills without Crumbling
Thanks for the card idea. Pill splitters do seem to be a waste of money. I do a similar thing with my moms caplets. theyre just a tad too big and breaking them makes her get a little more fluid (shes on thickened liquids & doesnt like it). The edge of her hutch...
