For your child or bed-bound senior at home or in nursing home: Untangle massively matted hair by dusting it liberally with baby powder and massage into hair. Separate hair into sections and brush hair working from root to tips. Afterwards wash and condition hair and style as you like.

Germ Free Rubber Gloves

When I buy a new pair of rubber gloves to do the dishes with, I always turn them inside out and wash them first. I dry them thoroughly then turn them right side out again. I always wash my hands first, before putting them on. That way no germs can be transfered back and forth. Can you imagine all those germs lurking in thoes dark gloves?

Med & RX Records

I constantly carry a list of all my prescriptions, allergies, & surgeries in my wallet. I also keep a running list on my computer so I can print it out as needed for a doctor's appointment. Each time I'm given a new RX, the list is updated & goes into my wallet. I also take an extra copy to the doctor for my med file. They really appreciate it & always say they wish everyone would do it. You never know when you'll be in an accident & unable to communicate. ER staff always check wallets & purses first, for ID. Finding that sheet could save your life.
