I've been neglecting my spot here way too long. A lovely angel named Miriam gave me a big nudge. Many things have been happening; too much to post about right now.
I will say that I'm keeping my focus on the reason for the season, the birth of the Baby Jesus.

About Me

- well, i guess i'm 58 going on 10, 15, or 21. never wanted to give up my dolls. love to do anything crafty, even building on a very small level. i do have to be careful. have been unable to work due to a life threatening allergy to natural rubber latex. i thought i would be a bag lady, but ended up being fortunate to buy what was a cottage, originally, on the erie canal. april thru october the place is in cottage mode. i love fishing, & i can do it here every day when the water level is up. i use to fish in bass tournaments. my allergy & fixed income do not allow me to do that any longer. i love gardening, & i enlarge a little every year even tho' i'm not the best weeder. i discovered deer hunting a number of years ago. it's pretty awesome because you can be at one with the woods, & your problems become minute. i took up bow hunting, just a novice, but the weather is so much warmer. in spite of my fear of heights, i've mastered sitting in a tree stand 15 feet high without anxiety. oh yes, my child is a very demanding & spoiled(i don't know how) jack russel terrier.

Sal,
I found your blog while searching (or should I say attempting to search) for elastic cording to use for sewing... without mercapto / thiuram chemicals. I'm in my twentys and have lived with "elastic" allergies all my life. It seems like you've been dealing with your allergies for some time. Any tips? So far the best thing I've done is sew my own swimming suit, and find a dermatologist who has time for her patients. Do you know of the Contact Allergen Replacement Database (CARD)? Ask your dermatologist, CARD will give you a list of products you CAN use based on results from a TRUE patch test. I finally have a soap I'm not allergic to!
Ok. Now I am rambling. I will look for your discussion board on yahoo. Feel free to leave me a message on blogger if you wish.
Thanks for making me feel a little less lonely in this allergy!
~Emily
