A tale of ten Phals...

[PoeticFlames]

Td, I've heard about the purell, that stuff can knock ME out, so I'm sure those buggies don't stand a chance!!!

Thanks Rosie! More stories will follow I'm sure... *chuckles* Maybe a thread of poems! I've seen some creative writing from a few other members here, haha!

WhiteRabbit, I'm always looking for natural remedies! *cheesy grin* Sometimes it bites me in the nose though... I made a clay mask once and thought I'd try to recreate a beloved store brand and make it mint julep!

So out came the peppermint oil... *cringes as the memory comes back* I thought to myself "Heck, one drop is good, TWO outta be GREAT!!".

I smiled blissfully to myself as the fragrance filled the air and it wasn't until I had it slathered all over my face that I realized the fatal error... My eyes began to water, my nose ran too! My face felt like it was lit on fire and freezing at the same time! I washed it all off while cursing my heavy handed tendencies at the same time and had a frozen face for two hours... I learned later while I was in school for Massage and Aromatherapy that the mint oils alter nerve receptors and scramble the signals being sent (hense the pain relief and temp changes). Only a LITTLE is needed! Too much will blow a fuse or two!

But that's enough of my ramblings for now...
