I worked in restaurants all through HS and college -- can't tell you how many I times I had burns (worst burn was when I "dipped" two fingers in a huge vat of hot oil where we fried the mushrooms). Vitamin E is great under those bandages -- I'd buy the capsules, poke them open w/a straight pin and put it on the burns. That and aloe seem to help the most -- the first day is the worst w/ the burning, though. You might also try putting a wet waschcloth in the freezer for 15-20 minutes then putting it on your hand. It doesn't get cold enough to freeze (like ice), but it offers LOTS of relief. Good luck, sweetie! for the owie!

THANK you Teach! I just checked in here one last time before I hit the hay. I like that washcloth idea--thanks!

A&D Ointment? The diaper rash stuff, Kar???? Wish I'd known that the other day. I lifted a lid off a steaming pan of veggies and went to stir it and burnt my wrist. I didn't have neosporin, had a house full of kids and couldn't get out. Ended up using aloe and it did nothing, lol. Oddly enough, I did have A&D because my baby niece had been here.

Julie, after hearing many a yelp/curse coming from the kitchen, dh put a burn spray in there for me. One of the best ideas he has had.

Aloe Vera! Did anyone mention aloe vera? It not only heals and quickly, it protects and keeps scarring to a minimum. We keep it in our First Aid Kit at all times.

How do Notaries work? Specifically if I need to have a document notarized that both my dh and I are to sign, do we both have to be present? Does the notary have to see us both sign it? Thanks.

Julie, Yes you both have to be present and sign in front of the notary. That is the only way that they know for sure that you each signed it. Oh and be sure you both have ID with you (driver's license is the best).

You can go to your bank or even look in the yellow pages. Car dealerships also have notaries as do most schools.

What a great job. Just sit there and watch people sign things for big money.

LOL on the big money, Eeyore. I think the average charge is something like $5 -$8 a page (only ones with signatures count). I know that here in Texas there is a cap on what you can charge. I was a notary for the school for years and never charged a penny. It just wasn't worth filing income tax on.

Up here, notaries charge way more. I think they're something like 40 bucks a pop. I remember researching notaries when I wanted to apply for a passport, but didn't know too many people out here for long enough. How does one BECOME a notary is my question. I still don't think I'd mind the job. LOL. Sit around all day, surf TVCH, glance over at a signature one in a while, collect some cash. Ahhhhh the life....LOL

in california, you have to take a 1 day course, and then you have to take a test every year. then, and only then are you able to get the special notary stamps. a notary is bound by law that the signatures on the page are the people that they belong to. and can be sued if someone takes them to court that it isn't their signature. the only way for the state to back them is by licensing them. hope that helps!

OG, I think banks will note for free, if you've been with them for long enough. I know now, I needed references, and they've given me letters for apartment rentals etc., but only because I've been with them for a while. On the passport application (the old one), you could use a bank manager to vouch for you, but not anymore.

Eeyore, for a passport many different professions can notarize your application, and they are not allowed to charge you. Details here

TELEGRAMS: Why were they so popular? I guess, assuming they were around before telephones, I could see why. Is it that they were popular before answering machines? To insure the recipient would get a message w/out repeatedly calling if there was no answer? And what made them die out? Thanks!

They were a faster way of communicating than the postal service, and less expensive than a long distance call.

Yes and it is grossing me out! We store the dog food in big bins in the garage and I found three of these "buggers" in the dog food bin. I wanna throw up! Are they "innocent" like a roly poly? (They didn't seem to "roll up" much!)
