if that is the case... then i may just have to give it a shot! hehe... since moving to south georgia, the pollen kills me!!! maybe this would be a way to ward off those sinus colds and infections!

I've heard that the way to get acclimatized to a place and get over allergies (especially pollen) is to take locally-produced honey. I guess the theory is that you will be taking in honey from local greenery and you will no longer be allergic to their pollen. I've yet to try it myself (luckily I don't have major pollen allergies) but it makes sense.

i had never heard of that... but, it makes sense to me! i think i am gonna try that one... better than the 3 second rule... hehe... i love honey, have it in my tea every morning... but it isn't local... thanks for sharing!

This is so true...using localised honey does help you acclimate to your immediate environment, and helps with the allergies in that area. Honey has a host of other health properties...good for you stuff!

My mom taught me to follow me heart and I survided!! That's the most important thing she's taught me actually. I owe everything to her, everything that I am! She's my best friend, my everything! We're team

She's taught me how to cook, how to not be afraid of being original, how to love music, how to express my feelings!

I love you mommy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

when i orignially received these in an email... it gave me pause to think about my mom...

she actually has said a good number of these statements at some time or other... and it made me miss my mom all that much more...

I miss you Ma... and I love ya! Thank you for being my cheer-leader... my friend... my rock... you will be forever missed!

edited to add: my mom also taught us unconditional love... i learned about grace and dignity through her... and will treasure my memories...

thanks guys for letting me share that with ya'll!

Dixie that was so enjoyable to read and did bring back many memories and your tribute to your Mom, is lovely, I hope my daughter will think the same when she reads it (I emailed it to her)

OMG this is just like listening to my momma all over again! One thing she was adamant about: NEVER leave the house without changing your underwear (making sure there are no holes!) because "what would happen if you were in an wreck and the E.R. had to take your pants off?" Gotta love those mommas!!!!

hahahaha I remember a cousin of mine that lived with us through the teenage years...she would change her underwear 6+ times a day for fear of that. I made it easy for em.......I rarely wear any

Funny story about that.........I was in a car accident a few years ago(not the funny part) and my knee was smashed, I could not get my jeans off and they had to cut them..........the fact that my Mom always said"wear clean underwear because you never know" popped into my head immediately. Luckily for the er docs-I always listen to my Mom(well maybe not always)

my next door neighbor is a beekeeper-I get loads of free honey and it is great for my allergies/sinuses

although bee sh*t is a pain to clean off your car(I am serious)

mom always told me to put on lipstick and dry my hair before leaving the house. Still not too sure why - something to do with looking good>
