Another first for me! I've never done this before.
1. What is your most successful "home remedy" and how did you first hear about or discover it? Putting BAN roll-on on a wasp sting. My son once got stung and I called the 1-800 nurse-line at our insurance company and she suggested Ban roll-on. She said it had to be the roll-on and you had to be able to put it on relatively quickly after the sting. Of course, a paste of baking soda (which I already knew about) or a paste of meat tenderizer (also knew about) also works well. I had put on the baking soda as soon as he was stung, and it worked, but not fast enough, which is why I had called. About two years ago I got in my car, put my arm down on the arm rest and got stung by a wasp. Hurt like crazy! I immediately drove to Kroger, got some Ban roll-on, immediately opened it and put it on the sting and the pain was gone before I got to the checkout!! It took me about four minutes to drive from my house to Kroger. So now Ban roll-on is in my medicine cabinet and emergency kit.
2. Do you ever use substitutes for food ingredients, like sugar or salt substitutes? If so, which do you use? NO. I cannot stand sugar substitutes. I figure if I'm at the point where I need to cut back on sugar, then I'll drink my coffee/tea unsweetened (or with honey if it's tea), or I'll drink water. Cannot stand diet sodas. I've never had to use a salt substitute but would if anyone in the house had a medical reason for it. I have used Molly McButter, though, and like it well enough.
3. How often do you go to a mall or shopping center just to window shop, with no intention of actually buying anything? Never. Can't stand driving to or around the city where our nearest mall is, so unless I have a reason I don't go there!
4. How often in those trips do you actually end up buying something anyway? N/A
5. Take this quiz (if you haven't already!): What is your biggest social dysfunction? Oh my! It seems I'm (drum roll..........) Normal! Who'd have thought!
Your Social Dysfunction: Normal
Being average in terms of how social you are, as well as the amount of self-esteem you have, you're pretty much normal. Good on you.
6. What possession would you most like to have by the end of 2006 that you did without in 2005? A digital camera!! We keep putting it off, but I'm getting one this year!!
