Agreed! In fact we hardly go down any aisles in a stupid market these days.

Same in this house, no anitbacterial, no vitamins just eat better and more water. I can't believe how many parents are at the doctors all the time looking for anitbiotics for a cold or a snuffle. Fortunately our kids have been pretty healthy apart from a few issues but DS at 13 has only had antibiotics 2 or 3 times and the same with DD, they have to be really sick, a complaint that has gone on for a few weeks or a suspected broken bone before I'll take them to the doctors.

We went through tonnes of antibiotics when DD was young. She was missing so much school with tonsillitis. Then they were removed, what a different person. Gosh I just realised that was 20 years ago.
I am amazed at the number of adults I know who have to have all their vitamins every morning. I'm sure they don't realise that lots of them are excreted as the body has enough. What a waste of money.

I take vitamin B regularly as it is good for the well being of mind and memory. I drink alcohol and that depletes the absorption of vitamin B. There is no way that I eat enough foods rich in vitamin B to get by on.

Time flys cookie. Give the citing aisle a miss and head for the  fresh fruit and veggie I say.

Might be able to force myself to have the grand manier - can't come at livers - Gees Gert - you know what livers do - they are filters for the ugly.

Good news today.  They are finally getting on top of Rals Staph infection.  Looking at letting him out next Wednesday.  Poor Paul and Wendy have me for another week.  Littlies think it is great fun.  Building going on here,  so Oscar said I could share his bed.  Then looked at me and asked if I wet the bed.   Hope we make it home next week.  I will need everyone to cross fingers for us.
