I purposely scheduled a car repair miles away late in April so I would not have to make the trip in the snow. Looks like I may anyway. Worse, I wanted them to put the summer tires back on the car. But it seems it's too early for that, too. >:(Quote:

Good luck getting through those 6 weeks. I'm pulling for ya!Quote:

Another remedy: tonic water (vodka or gin optional). I have lots of experience with this from when my DH was on a potassium-restricted diet. His doctor actually "ordered" him to drink tonic. :)Quote:

You beat me to the soap thing. That and the gin-soaked raisins are my favorite People's Pharmacy tips.Quote:

Okay, off to work now.
SiouzQ, I struggle with the same thing and have been wanting to write about that. It seems that there are many people at this forum who feel much the same way. So, I started a thread. Think it is my first one.
