empty apartment
I arrived home to an empty apartment last night. I had picked up potatoes planning on cooking her a dinner involving vitamins for a change and I was greeted with tumbleweed. Naturally, my first thought was to ponder where I would start looking for her if Ireland’s first and only serial killer was roaming the streets of Dublin looking for 5ft 5 inch 16 year old teenagers who wear a lot of black and listen to Slayer.
You never can be too careful. I always error on the side of the fact that she’s been killed rather then she’s out with mates or anything ordinary like that? Now I’m thinking how quick can I get to the cop shop to report her missing. Yes, I am a morbib soul.
As it turns out I was mistaken, she was up town ‘hanging’ with her mates. This hanging takes up a large amount of their time, one wonders what criteria is involved for this hanging and if it is exclusive to teenagers or anyone can partake. When she arrived home, she annouced P’s dad would be ringing so we could chat to him about Holland. I had visions of them getting together up town, paying some hobo to ring our landline and tell us he was going to Amsterdamn with them. I made a mental note to ask some questions about P and see where it got me.
He’s to ring tonight and we can chat to him. We shall reserve judgement until then although Mammy2 is adamant about the trip already. Words like there’s not a hope in hell of it happening spring to mind. She can be quite stubborn when it comes to the kid at times, she has a few streaks of her mother in her and sometimes this is not necessarily a good thing! I said we should talk to P’s dad, see what the story is and then make the descision. I have softened somewhat from my initial “it’ll be a cold day in hell before she gets on plane with THAT lot” type thing which is not really constructive at all.

Many of our modern drugs have harsh side-affects and cost the “earth”, so the next time you come down with a cold or the flu or ways to relieve stress, why not try a gentle alternative that costs next to nothing?
Instead of immediately forking over large amounts of money for over-the-counter drugs, go to the kitchen cupboard and see what you can find to relieve your symptoms including ways to relieve stress.
Here are some helpful hints for ways to relieve stress …
A simple hot compress applied to the face is very soothing to those throbbing aches and pains of a blocked sinus, while a few drops of eucalyptus oil on a handkerchief can provide welcome relief for similar conditions. While supplements of vitamin C, D and zinc will shorten the lifespan of a common cold, a hot lemon drink is also extremely good. And be sure to cuddle-up in bed when you have a cold, as it will make the body sweat out the germs.
Cool lemon juice and honey are a great soother for a sore throat and gives the body much-needed vitamin C at the same time The juice of one lemon in a glass of water is sufficient. Melt the honey in a little hot water for ease of mixing.
A smear of Vaseline or petroleum jelly will do wonders for those sore lips and nose that often accompany a cold.
A ’streaming cold’ where the nose and eyes water profusely, can respond to drinking onion water. Simply dip a slice of onion into a glass of hot water for two seconds, then sip the cooled water throughout the day. Half an onion on the bedside table also alleviates cold symptoms because its odor is inhaled while you sleep.
People prone to catarrh may find that chewing the buds from a pine or larch throughout the day will clear up their condition in just a few days.
Do you suffer from sore eyes? If your eyes are sore from lengthy exposure to the sun, try beating the white of an egg and then spread it over a cloth and bandage the eyes with it. Leave the preparation on overnight. Soft cheese (quark) is also a good remedy for this condition.
For those unpleasant times when you suffer from diarrhea, two tablespoons of brown vinegar will usually fix the problem. Vinegar can be rather horrible to take, but who cares! The problem is more horrible. Vinegar can usually be found in most people’s cupboards, so you don’t need to worry about finding someone to run to the shop for you in an emergency.
Sleepless? Instead of reaching for sleeping pills, which can quickly become addictive, try this: Drink only caffeine free tea or coffee starting late in the afternoon.. Go to bed earlier rather than later, as being overtired tends to keep people awake. Make sure the bedroom is dark and quiet. Use only pure wool or cotton sheets and blankets. Polyester materials can cause sweat and make you thirsty (if your child constantly asks for water throughout the night, this could be the reason).
And don’t watch those scary movies just before retiring! If you still can’t sleep, make a tea of lemongrass or drink a nightcap of herbal tea containing chamomile. It’s easy to grow lemongrass in your garden or start a flower pot on the balcony for ease of picking. Simply steep a handful in boiling water for five minutes. Honey may be added for a sweetener.
Of course there will be times when you do need modern drugs, so if these simple remedies don’t have the required affect, be sure to see a health care professional.

A dying man needs to die, as a sleepy man needs to sleep, and there comes a time when it is wrong, as well as useless, to resist.
