I am right about this.

I said a chlorine wash was used.

You said I was right.

But now I'm arrogant and ignorant?

I'm thinking that you are protesting too much.

By your own words, I was right.

But thanks for name calling.

Stellar attitude.

 Well, here's the problem with your reasoning - when I say a 4 ppm wash MAY be used  according to organic standards (not that it IS always used b/c there are alternatives) vs. your ridiculously crazy high 200 ppm wash, you take that as saying you are right.

Eat all the poison you want, Lily - but your "yeah right" and "precious organic vegetables" statements were rude, condescending and arrogant.   You started this.  If you want to make pissy, bitchy comments, you are going to get it back. 

And FYI - we obviously don't WANT your advice on food.  That should be obvious.

Oh and you consume a whole more chlorine than you realize.

Unless you collect all your water from mountain streams and use it to do everything from ice to cooking to brushing your teeth to tea, you're putting chlorine in your body.

 This is where the eyeroll emoticon would come in handy and goes back to the entire point about doing what you can to avoid what you can rather than just giving up and saying oh well - give me more poison!

 Really?   What about stuffing?  They used to like that, too, but now #1 won't touch it.  I'm thinking of making a plate of chicken enchiladas on T-day so they will have something to eat.  And having a plate of enchiladas were a tradition growing up so it would not be unusual for us.

DS hated the dressing but then we found out he couldn't have it anyway. DN is making the dressing this year. Sparkly likes it plain. I like it all dressed up with cranberries and nuts and stuff. I hated sweet potatoes growing up but the only way my mom made them is with brown sugar, butter, and marshmellows. I have learned that I love them as a baked sweet potato with just some salt and butter on them.

Lily, I don't cook perfectly all the time nor do I eat organic. I really try to stay away from canned good. Being as sick as you are you really should pay more attention to your food. It makes a huge difference.

 Fresh is always  better and frozen  vegetables  are healthier  then canned.

How to Make Hospital Corners

When it comes to making your bed, there is no better way to create a clean, crisp look of a well-made bed than a tidy hospital corner. What’s a hospital corner? The term may sound daunting and trigger visions of well-kept army barracks or neat and tidy hospital rooms. However, when you break it down, making a bed with hospital corners is actually quite easy and not as hard as it sounds.

The bed-making technique of folding hospital corners originates back to the 19th century and the profession of nursing. Nursing is a profession with a long history that was built on war-time and the military. During the 1850s, Florence Nightingale famously organized a group of women to aid the wounded during the Crimean War. Working for and assisting soldiers and doctors demanded nurses to be efficient, clean and organized in the war hospital. With a single sheet, hospital corners were used not only to keep the sheet firmly in place, but also allow nurses to easily change or resize the sheet without causing discomfort to the patient. (Note: The fitted sheet as we know it with its elastic corners would not be invented until the 1990s).

Today, a bed made using hospital corners looks well-made and well-kempt, not disheveled and untidy. You would most likely encounter a bed using hospital corners at your favorite high-end, luxury hotels. Love that look? Here is a video and a step-by-step process on how to make the perfect hospital corners.

• Step 1: With your fitted sheet already on the mattress, lay the flat sheet on top. Make sure that it hangs evenly on both sides of the bed.
• Step 2: Start at one corner at the foot of the bed. Slightly lift the mattress and tuck hanging fabric along the foot of the bed. The excess fabric should now be hanging on the side of the mattress.
• Step 3: Grab hold of the excess fabric. Lift it up and place on top of the mattress. The edge of the sheet should form a 45-degree angle with the corner of your mattress.
• Step 4: Hold the fabric forming a 45-degree angle in place. Tuck in hanging fabric along the side of the mattress and let the sheet fall.
• Step 5: Adjust the edge of the sheet to the corner of the mattress and tuck in.
• Step 6: Repeat steps 2 through 5 on the remaining corner.
• Step 7: To continue making the perfect bed, layer with a light blanket, a duvet cover and style all sleeping pillows and decorative sham pillows.
