* * * A few months ago Fred worked out a little too hard, and he was having some muscle soreness. Being the nice wife that I am, I stopped by the drugstore and pick up a container of epsom salt. Last night after he went to bed, I was taking a bath – it gets cold in our house sometimes, and nothing warms you up like reading in a hot bath for half an hour or so – and I looked over at the back of the epsom salts. Apparently epsom salt is a miracle drug. Did you know you could use it to relieve muscle soreness, as a plant fertilizer, and as a laxative? I had no idea. I guess you really do learn something new every day, eh?
It’s a day that ends in “y”, so clearly it’s time for another slapfight!

yay!! I’m finally the first one!! Cool beans bout the car!! good to see its over with!
Hee, hee. The Bean and Miz Poo are so cute. Are they fighting over the plastic they are both lying on? Just like brother and sister. Do they hiss at each other too or just slap?
Wow. Seems to me that if you use the Epsom Salts as a laxative, you probably would generate your own fertilizer…
Epsom salts are also great for your skin — if you have a loofah, dissolve some epsom salts in your bath, then take some of the salt crystals and use them on the loofah to gently exfoliate your skin. Someone told me to make sure to drink water if you’re going to soak in the epsom salts for a long time because they might dehydrate you but I’m not sure how true that is. All I know is it’s really nice on my skin 🙂
What I would be yellng at my four cats while they were playing with a platic bag…”SAFETY ISSUE! SAFETY ISSUE!”
Why would we do that, Martha? We’re hoping they’ll suffocate so we can get some new ones.
HA!!!
Would that be Letting the cat outta the bag?
Fred!
Lighten up, Martha!
Ooops! Try this again.
chuckle, chuckle
Fred!
chuckle, chuckle
Lighten up, Martha!
Oh, Robyn, reading your entry about epsom salts had me in tears laughing because i thought of something my Grandma once did years ago! See, she’s always make a sponge cake whenever it was anyone’s brithday and they ALWAYS came out perfectly. Anyhoo, she was baking away happily one day when she reached for what she thought was the box og baking soda when it was in fact – you guessed it – the epsom salts. Needless to say, we all had a bowel cleansing moment that day HAHHAHAHAHHA!!!
Have I ever mentioned – I LOVE YOUR BLOG!!!
