Worms: Great for the garden. Bad for lunch.

So…pickin the boy up from school today…he always asks how MY day was…”fine”, I said, “and yours”?   “Oh, well, I forgot my lunch card today so I just had milk….but that’s alright…I wasn’t hungry….we had to dissect a worm today”. 

EEWE.    Did you know they give extra credit if they can keep it alive for a certain time period DURING dissection?   Um…can you say Jeffrey Dahmer?   Now that’s a little creepy.   

They got to find the ‘heart like things…there’s like 10 of them’, the major nerve chord, the ‘brain like thing which is like a mess of nerves’, the intestines.  Um EEWE.  And of course other gross stuff (to me anyhow). 

So I said…”It was so gross you couldn’t eat?”  ((boy chuckles)) “Oh, no…my HANDS smelled like worm.  No matter how much I washed them I couldn’t get rid of the stink.  Someone offered me half of their turkey wrap and as soon as I brought it up to my mouth I could smell the worm on my hands.   It was naaasty.”

When Life Gives Ya Lemons?

What to do?  What to do with all this snow?  Build a ramp!  (Length: 10 seconds)

14 years ago, this expired.

maviefolle-274So, I swear I’m not a bad mom (lol, how many times have I said that in this blog? )  But Alan had a painful toe for a couple weeks (ingrown nail) and the doc said to soak his toe in Epsom Salts.  Soooo, we looked in the cabinet.  There it was!  An unopened carton of the magical miracle salts!  Problem?  They were left here by the previous owner  (my aunt~otherwise I wouldn’t have kept anything).  

Can you see the expiration date on this baby?  1994.  Yup, that’s a whopping 14 years ago.  In fact, they actually expired one month before  Alan was even BORN!       lol. 

Oddly (I know), I gave it a try.  (hey, it wasn’t  MY  toe!  ha ha)  The damned things worked and cleared the toe up within a couple days!
