Runny Ears

The most frequent watery ear associated with outbreaks. A melt may consist than normal earwax or water. Colored earwax is a young war, war, old war or orange.

The main causes of runny ears is an outbreak with cecair cloudy or pus through the broken ear gegendang or perforated

The main causes of runny ears:

# Perfidy rather than stomping on the head, foreign object, the sound is too noisy, or a startling change of pressure (as in the kapalterbang), resulting gegendang broken or perforated ear.
# "Eczema" and other skin inflammation in the ear canal may cause bleeding.
# Cholesteatoma
# Tumors (smallpox).
# "Swimmers ear" - usually applies to the swimmer-swimmer and showed symptoms of itchiness, scaly, reddish and humidity ear canal.
# Outbreaks;

* "Otitis externa (outer ear and ear lobe)
* "Otitis media" (middle ear cavity)
* "Mastoiditis (mastoid cavities)

Melt properties provide clues to the stem-stem terbabit ear. Pesakit usually complain about hearing and pain. Pesakit selalunya valid complaint if an outbreak of illness at the outer ear (ear lobe and ear canal).

prevention:

* Bathroom: use of washed cotton with Vaseline and placed in the ear
* Swimming - to use silicon earplugs

Embryo

Stem cells or stem cells are cells that grow the beginnings of all human organs in human embryo development. Stem cells have the ability to differentiate into various mature cell types, such as nerve cells, heart muscle cells, skeletal muscle cells, and pancreatic cells. Stem cells are also able to regenerate itself.

Stem cells can be found in the blood in the placenta and umbilical cord, and spinal cord.

This is the process of embryonic development in the mother's womb:

begun in the week 4-8:

Formation occurs early embryo (early man) who already have a vascular system (blood circulation). Fetal heart started beating, and all other organs begin to form. Appear facial bones, eyes, toes, and this phase was tangan.Pada been formed amniotic sac consisting of two thin membranes. This membrane contains the amniotic fluid where the baby is floating in the womb. Amniotic fluid to keep the baby from injury from the impact from the outside during pregnancy.

8-12 weeks:

Organs of the main body of the fetus was formed. The shape of his head was now bigger than the body, so it can accommodate the growing brain rapidly. He also has a chin, nose, and eyelids clear. In the womb, the fetus can begin to do activities such as kicking gently.

weeks 12-16:

Fetal lungs begin to grow and heartbeat can be heard by means of ultrasound (USG). Her face began to form a particular expression, and in his eyes began to grow eyebrows and eyelashes. Now he can turn his head and opened his mouth. Her hair began to grow rough and color. Even her feet were already grown longer than her hand.

weeks 16-20:

Nose and ear clear, red skin, hair began to grow, and all parts are fully formed. Blood vessels seen clearly in the thin skin of the fetus. His body was covered with fine hair called lanugo. Little is now starting more regular and coordinated. He can suck his thumb and react to her mother's voice.

weeks 20-24:

At this time, genitals begin to form, open nostrils, and he started doing the breathing movement. Centers bones began to harden. Besides, now he began to have some time to sleep.

weeks 24-28:

Under the skin, the fat has started to pile up. In the scalp hair began to grew, his eyelids open, and the brain starts. He could hear now, either voice from within and from outside (the environment). She can recognize her voice and her heartbeat quickened when his mother spoke.

weeks 28-32:

Although the movement was already limited due to increasing weight, but his eyes had started to blink due to see light through her stomach wall. His head was pointing downward. Her lungs are not perfect, but if the moment he was born into the world, little likely to have been able to survive. Little is now perfectly formed.

week 36:

The baby often practice breathing, sucking, and swallowing. Fine hairs all over his body has disappeared and his body becomes more rounded. Babies conceived by Part of the pregnant woman for the first time will experience a decrease, which is falling into the pelvic cavity head (the baby is "down").

week 38:

His head has been in the pelvic cavity, ready to be born. This shows that when labor is near. Now, the baby as if "prepare themselves" for the birth to the world.

Sprue

Sprue is a disorder mouth disease most commonly found. Approximately 10% of the population suffers from this disease, and women more susceptible than men.

Sprue in the same place for two weeks to a month can be an indication of the oral cavity cancer.

There are several factors that allegedly cause the cause of ulcers. For example, bite wounds, consuming food or hot drinks, allergies, lack of vitamin C and iron, digestive disorders, oral hygiene is not maintained, psychological factors, and conditions that do not fit the body.

Stomatitis Aphtosa is a disorder of the mucous membranes of the mouth sores on the mouth in the form of a yellowish-white spots with slightly concave surface. The emergence of these ulcers with high pain.

Stomatitis Aphtous / Ulcer NOT BECAUSE OF LACK of Vitamin C, on the contrary SA known allergies caused by food allergies citrus or acidic, a weak immune conditions, certain medications, physical trauma (or the use of new dentures),

Asthma

Asthma is a condition in which narrowing of the respiratory tract experienced as hyperactivity of certain stimuli, which causes inflammation; constriction is temporary.

In asthma, constriction of the airways is a response to stimuli in the normal lung will not affect the respiratory tract. This narrowing can be triggered by various stimuli, such as pollen, dust, animal fur, smoke, cold air and exercise.

Diagnosis based on typical symptoms.

To confirm the diagnosis can be done over spirometri examination. Spirometri also used to assess the weight of the airway obstruction and to monitor treatment.

Determining factors of asthma triggers often not easy. Allergic skin test can help determine the allergens that trigger asthma symptoms. If the diagnosis is doubtful or if it is felt very important to know the trigger factors of asthma, it can be done bronchial challenge test.


An asthma attack can be prevented if the triggering factor is known and can be avoided. The attack triggered by exercise can be avoided by taking medication before exercise.

Hollow Tooth

A hollow tooth is not due to worms such as the opinion of those in the ancient times. This theory lasted until the 1700s until Willoughby Miller an American dentist who worked at the University of Berlin found the cause of tooth decay. He found that cavities caused by the meeting between the bacteria and sugar. Bacteria will convert sugar from food into acids remaining that caused the teeth to acid environment (natural environment should be the base of teeth) and the acid is what ultimately makes a small hole in the tooth enamel.

When a hole occurs in the tooth enamel, we have dental pain. However, a small hole next to the email can be a gap of food and bacteria will make a bigger hole to hole in dentin. At this time we will feel the pains in the teeth when eating. If allowed, the hole until the hole will be nervous that we will begin to feel a toothache. This process will not stop until the end teeth are gone and only the remaining tooth root.

In order not getting worse, so if you have a cavity you should visit your dentist immediately to treat it. Although many people do not like going to the dentist with a reason not care about the state of teeth, expensive worried, afraid or ashamed ridiculed for broken teeth, but going to the dentist is the best solution to overcome a toothache. Cavity can not heal by itself. Although, perhaps after suffering from a toothache, the pain may be gone but not improve the situation of teeth. Teeth will remain hollow, even the hole will keep getting bigger.

Toothache can not be considered an eye like some people thought, because if ignored, can make the teeth becomes swollen and inflamed. Also cavities can be a means of entrance channel into the germ line of blood that can cause kidney disease, lung, heart and other diseases.

If you have a toothache to a specialist immediately teeth.

Steps to be taken generally dentist is mending a broken tooth, if not too large hole.

If the hole in the tooth is too large and does not allow for patched, means that the teeth should be removed. Just as the process of dental fillings, the tooth can not be revoked immediately when the teeth still hurt. This is because when we feel the pain of teeth, the anesthetic drugs (drug resistant so as not to hurt when the teeth removed) can not penetrate the roots of teeth, so that when removed will cause great pain. New tooth extraction process can be done when the teeth have not felt sick and to relieve pain doctors will turn off the tooth nerve.

A Thankful Heart

Take nothing for granted,
for whenever you do
The joy of enjoying
is lessened for you-
For we rob our own lives
much more than we know
When we fail to respond
or in any way show
Our thanks for the blessings
that daily are ours...
The warmth of the sun,
the fragrance of flowers,
The beauty of twilight,
the freshness of dawn,
The coolness of dew
on a green velvet lawn,
The kind little deeds
so thoughtfully done,
The favors of friends
and the love that someone
Unselfishly gives us
in a myriad of ways,
Expecting no payment
and no words of praise-
Oh, great is our loss
when we no longer find
A thankful response
to things of this kind,
For the joy of enjoying
and the fullness of living
Are found in the heart
that is filled with thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving,

Kidney Stones

Kidney stones or urinary tract stones are generally caused by changing the normal balance of water, salt, minerals, and other substances in urine. Type of substance that rising levels determine the type of rock formed.

1. Uric acid stones; surface smooth, brown, and soft. These stones are formed from uric acid levels in urine high. Uric acid stone disease is usually accompanied by arthritis uric acid (gout arthritis).

2. Struvite stone; stones are usually shaped antlers. Arising from the content of ammonia in the urine high. High Ammonia is usually the result of urinary tract infection, because bacteria that cause infection can produce ammonia.

3. Cystine stones; shaped yellow crystals. Arising from high levels of cystine in the urine. This situation occurs in sistinuria disease. Stone of this type are rarely found, only one among a thousand. Cystine stones are usually about the patients aged 10 - 30 years.

4. Calcium stones; rock types are most commonly found. Great shape with a smooth surface. Can be a mixture of calcium with oxalate or calcium to phosphate. Calcium stones are often found in people who have excessive levels of vitamin D or parathyroid gland disorder. People who suffer from cancer, kidney disease, or disease can also suffer sarkoidosis calcium stones.

Tips to avoid kidney stone disease:

1. Balanced diet, exercise, and maintaining ideal body weight remained.

2. Do not hold your urine; urine can cause suppressed become more concentrated urine, or urinary tract infections. Concentrated urine and urinary tract infections are the supporting factors of stone formation.

3. Drinking water when i wake up at dawn today. This would immediately stimulate us to urinate, so that the water had crept art semalamam replaced with new ones.

4. Drink lots of water (8-10 glasses a day), thus becomes more dilute urine, thereby reducing the possibility of forming substances stones to belong together. By drinking a lot, colored urine is usually clear, not yellow anymore.

Breast Cancer

There are two types of cancer are a scourge of the Eve no matter where they are: breast cancer and cervical cancer, cervical cancer alias. Both were like a shadow of death.

Breast cancer is the aberrant growth of cells in the breast. Most lumps in the breast are benign tumors that do not spread to other parts of the body and not life-threatening. However, the tumor increases the risk of female breast cancer.

So far, not known for certain causes of breast cancer. However, there are a number of risk factors associated with cancer. Some risk factors can be controlled. Those who have children but not breast-feeding, smoking, drinking alcohol, high-fat diet, lack of exercise and cancer risk.

There is also a factor that can not be changed, such as genetics, gender, and age. Breast cancer affects more women although men can also be affected. Breast cancer risk increases with age. Eight of the 10 cases of breast cancer found in women aged 50 years and over.

Breast consists of milk glands, milk ducts leading to the nipple, fat and connective tissue, blood vessels and lymph vessels. Generally, breast cancer begins in the cells along the lines of milk, some others originated in the mammary gland and the rest in other breast tissue.

If you find lumps or wrinkles, breast shape is not symmetrical, drawn into the nipple, skin changes such as orange peel, enlarged lymph nodes in the armpit, inflammation or discharge from the nipple, should really pay attention and consult a physician.

Tonsils in Children

Tonsils are a pair of organs located in the numbered throat cavity in the left and right rear oral cavity. This organ has a duty to ward off germs that enter the mouth. Apart from the tonsils, the throat cavity there's more body fortress called adenoid, located in the ceiling above the cavity of the throat near the channel to a nose that has similar functions as an antidote tonsils incoming germs from the air into the airway.

Normal tonsil attack on childhood. At the age of childhood immune system is still weak.

At the time of endurance in good condition until the bacteria do not make the child sick, but when the body resistance can be decreased malignant germs and cause infections.

In normal circumstances the mouth and throat, there are lots of germs.

When exposed to infection, the tonsils become inflamed (swollen and red color) is accompanied by fever and pain in the throat, especially when swallowing food. Tonsillitis can be caused by viruses and bacteria. If the cause of the tonsils by the virus requires the patient enough pain medication, fever and infection treatment home and will heal by itself after the improved endurance. But when infections caused by bacteria so patients need antibiotics.

Seoarang child should do surgery on the tonsils if:

1. Middle ear infections are recurrent, life cavity infection or chronic inflammation of the throat, accompanied by chronic bad breath.

2. Tonsils had been turned into a source of disease rather than as an antidote to the disease.
Tonsils are said to be the source of the disease if it has become a den of germs that cause recurrent infections. In a healthy condition, tonsils serve as an antiseptic, but if too often exposed to infection, can become a den of germs. At that time there was no other choice tonsils must be removed. If the condition is left alone the infection can spread to other organs like the heart and kidneys.

3. Besides surgery necessary if the tonsils to swell too big to clog the airways that would cause the patient to have difficulty breathing and it is feared happened obstructive sleep apnea (stopping breathing during sleep).

BSE

Mad cow disease (Bovine spongiform encephalopathy / BSE) is a disease caused by new infectious material known and called prions. BSE attacks the cow and the signs of BSE that was recently discovered in a cow in Washington, the United States that caused panic around the world.

Prion until now regarded as the object responsible for encephalopathy incidence of mad cow disease (BSE), Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), Gerstmann-Straussler syndrome and similar diseases Kuru disease caused paralysis in certain families. All have the same symptoms of brain tissue degenerate into a hollow object? small hole like a foam or sponge rubber and is therefore referred to as spongiform encephalopathy, it is consistent with limb movement disorder / paralysis that occurs more and more severe and eventually cause death.

World health is always confronted with new phenomena whenever science and technology had revealed something new. Prion protein (PrP) or the so-called prion is a protein derived from animal brain tissue affected by inflammatory disease of the brain is not known why the so-called bovine spongiform encephalopathy. Prions are not living a full body like bacteria, viruses or protozoa. Prions can be distinguished from a virus or viroid because they do not have nucleic acids and therefore he was resistant to all procedures aimed at changing or menghidrolisa nucleic acids including the protease enzyme, ultraviolet light, radiation and various chemicals such as detergents, substances that cause denaturation of proteins such as disinfectant or heating / boiling. But prions have an amazing ability to reproduce themselves through a mechanism that until now unknown.

Actually, the structure of prion gene have been found, and is known also that in the infected animals and in experimental prion inoculation there will be accumulation of prions in brain tissue. Prion allegedly spread through and in the neural network. The gap of knowledge about molecular biology and pathogenesis of prion diseases it causes, is still large and intensive research being done to minimize the kesejangan it.

Leukemia

Leukemia (blood cancer) is a type of disease that attacks cells - white blood cells produced by bone marrow (Bone Marrow). Bone marrow or bone marrow in the human body produces three types of blood cells such as the white blood cells (which function as the immune system / immune system against infection), red blood cells (carry oxygen function into the body) and platelets (small parts of cells which helps blood clotting).


Leukemia is a part of the cancer, which the general public to call with a blood cancer that occurs in the cells - blood cells.


In the case of leukemia, white blood cells did not respond to the signals given that excessive production and uncontrolled and eventually exit from the bone marrow and can be found in the peripheral blood or peripheral blood. Someone with this condition (leukemia) will show symptoms of this deperti: susceptible to infectious diseases, anemia and bleeding.

Leukemia in general has appeared in person at an early age, in which the bone marrow without obvious cause has been producing white blood cells develop abnormally ayng. Normally, white blood cells to reproduce again when needed by the body or there is a place for the blood cells themselves. The human body will give signals or signs on a regular basis if the blood cells needed to be re-reproduction.

Dermatitis

Most people have experienced inflammation of the skin or dermatitis.

Contact dermatitis is the result of direct contact with allergens (other things that cause skin allergies).

usually reddish skin, swelling, blisters, itching appears extreme in the area of skin.

There are two types of contact dermatitis, the allergic and irritant.

allergic contact dermatitis is usually about people who are sensitive to everyday substances. Common causes of dermatitis are nickel (usually affects women). These substances are applied on metal or attached to the skin, such as costume jewelry, and more. Several other types of allergens are rubber, creams, ointments, and others.

Irritant contact dermatitis caused by direct chemical effect of certain substances on the skin. The severity of dermatitis depends on how long the substance is in contact with skin, concentration levels of substances, and skin vulnerability.

The cause of allergic contact dermatitis may be more extensive that pengidentifikasiannya also more difficult. Contact dermatitis treatment usually involves application of ointments, creams corticosteroids (for a limited time) and antibiotics for secondary infections.

Try to find the cause. If possible cease contact with the substance causes. Finding the cause is more easily done on irritant contact dermatitis, due to skin problems which arise are limited to the area actually in contact with these irritants.

Atopic dermatitis or eczema affects many people, especially children. The main symptoms are reddish skin, swelling, itching, and scaly skin. Eczema usually occurs on areas of skin folds, such as the knees, the front of the elbows, behind the ears.


In some cases, eczema is a kind of allergic reaction, and often occur in those who suffer from asthma. Eczema can also occur in some people in the family 1. The main triggers diverse as:

1.Iritasi products

2.Perubahan temperatures are too extreme

Vaksin H1N1 2010

Surabaya-According to Managing Director of PT Bio Farma Iskandar, H1N1 vaccine will be clinically tested in humans in March 2010. Production and distribution of H1N1 vaccine conducted November 2010 to 20 million doses of vaccine or 1 / 10 of total population in Indonesia. According to the Minister of Health, the vaccine priority for community groups that are vulnerable to avian influenza, such as nurses and lab workers.

Avian Influenza Research Center Bio-Safety Level 3 Airlangga University, Surabaya, East Java, will launch the H1N1 and H5N1 vaccines, Monday (16/11). H1N1 vaccine will begin November 2010 produced by PT Bio Farma.

Hey, Y'all - Listen To This!

Tomato fruit (Solanum Lycopersicum) is usually used as fresh salad, and consumed directly without the need to be cooked first. This type of tomato is more durable than vegetable tomato. Tomato vegetable is usually used as a cooked vegetable mixture, and can not last long (fast decay).

Tomatoes are also rich in potassium and low sodium. Therefore can reduce hypertension. Tree ripe tomatoes, 200 types of compounds containing a volatile, wafted from the unique aroma and taste.

Canned tomatoes have only lost some nutrients they contain, but increased levels of salt. If you buy pasta or tomato juice, choose a low-salt.

These two types of tomatoes are equally efficacious for the human body, namely to:

* Overcoming bleeding gums: a tomato is washed, then fresh-eaten fresh. Do this 1x a day for a month.

* Overcoming constipation: an occasional drink tomato juice after meals.

* Menghaluskan face: a tomato scarlet blackmailed. Apply water to the face several times each day. Can also be sliced tomatoes and then rubbed his face.

A study by Rowett Research Institute in Aberdeen, Scotland found the benefits for the health of tomato seeds. As quoted by health magazine Prevention, Asim K Dutta-Roy, Ph.D., the researchers found, liquid or slippery yellow jelly contained around tomato seeds, contain a mixture of compounds or materials that work against stroke and heart disease.

Measles Immunization

Measles immunization is given by injection in the thigh muscle or the upper arm. Side effects of measles include a high fever, which occurred after 8-10 days after vaccination and lasts 24-48 hours (incidence of about 2%), rash or rash for about 1-2 days (incidence 2%). Ynag side effects more severe, such as encephalitis (inflammation of the brain), very rare, less than 1 per 1-3 million doses administered.

At the time the baby in the womb, especially maternal measles antibody were distributed to the baby through the placenta or umbilical and will stay until the baby is born. At the age of 9 months only about 10% of infants who still have antibodies from the mother.

If immunization is given to babies who still have maternal antibody, measles-specific antibody formation as the goal of the immunization itself may be disrupted. The term, delaying immunization can increase the number of seroconversion.

Royan said: that is, if it be postponed measles immunization, antibody formation was better.

However, it should be noted, immunization delays can result in morbidity and mortality due to measles. WHO recommends measles immunization at 9 months of age in developing countries.

Measles vaccine from a weakened live virus. Should be stored at 2-8 C because sunlight or heat can kill the virus measles vaccine. If the vaccine virus to die before before the injection, the vaccine will not be able to stimulate the formation of antibodies in other words immunization failed.

Tumors

Malignant tumors is called cancer. Cancer has the potential to invade and destroy adjacent tissues and create metastases. Benign tumors do not attack adjacent tissue and does not spread the seed metastases, but may locally grow to be big. They usually do not come back after surgical removal.

Tumors (derived from the Latin tumere, which means "swelling"), is one of the five characteristics of inflammation. However, this term is now used to describe the growth of biological tissue is not normal.

Various kinds of tumors:

# Mesenchymal origin tumors

# Origin of epithelial tumors

# Germ cell tumors

# Tumor blood cells

Filariasis

Filariasis is a disease caused by Filaria worms that are transmitted through various types of mosquitoes.

The disease is transmitted by mosquitoes which suck the blood of someone who had been infected previously. Infected blood and contain larvae and would be transmitted to someone else at the time an infected mosquito bite or blood menghipas person.

This disease is chronic (chronic) and if not receiving treatment, can cause permanent disability in the form of enlarged legs, arms and genitals both women and men. The disease is quite common in Indonesia.

Not like malaria and dengue fever, filariasis transmitted by mosquitoes from 23 species of the genus Anopheles, Culex, Mansonia, Aedes & Armigeres. Because of this, filariasis can be transmitted very quickly.

If someone suspects filariasis in the signs and clinical symptoms, diagnosis is done by finger blood tests done beginning at 20:00 local time tonight. Someone expressed as filariasis patients, if the blood found mikrofilaria.

The symptoms of filariasis can be:

# Inflammation of lymph channels that feels hot and pain radiating from the base of the foot or the base of the arm towards the end (retrograde lymphangitis)
# Filarial abscesses often suffer from swollen lymph nodes, may rupture and ooze pus and blood
# Enlargement legs, arms, breasts, testicles are looking a little flushed and feels hot (early lymphodema)
# Fever repeatedly for 3-5 days, fever may be lost if the break and came back after working hard
# Swollen lymph nodes (with no injuries) groin area, armpits (lymphadenitis), which appear red, hot and sick

The clinical symptoms of chronic persistent enlargement (elephantiasis) in the legs, arms, breasts, testicles (skroti elephantiasis).

How to prevent filariasis:

# Clean the bushes around the house
# Clean water plants in the marsh which is a brood of mosquitoes, stockpiling, drying or stream water as a brood of mosquitoes
# Trying to avoid infection from mosquito bites

Brain tumors

Brain tumors can directly destroy brain cells. Sites where cancer cells were referred to as the primary cancer. Metastatic brain tumors are often referred to as brain injury or metastases. Metastatic brain tumors are the most common of brain tumors.


Metastatic brain tumors are one type of tumor that originated from cancer in other body parts. Tumors or cancer that attacks the brain usually from lung cancer, breast cancer, melanoma, kidney cancer, bladder cancer, or certain sarcomas. Some cancer cells carried to the brain by the blood or lymphatic fluid, or can be spread from adjacent tissue.


Symptoms in people include:

# Changes in behavior and cognitive

# Headache

# Strain

# Lack of coordination


Treatment of patients depends on the size and type of tumor, initial location of the tumor, and the general health of the people. Treatment goals can relieve symptoms, improve function, or comfort.

Inflammation of the heart

Inflammation of the heart of the most popular is hepatitis A and B. However, recently appeared other types which later made a name in alphabetical order according to the invention of time. Until now the type has to hepatitis G.

Anemia

Anemia is a condition in which the number of red blood cells or amount of hemoglobin (oxygen carrying protein) in red blood cells is below normal.

Anemia causes reduction in the number of red blood cells or amount of hemoglobin in red blood cells, so that blood can not carry oxygen in the body as needed.

The symptoms caused by the oxygen supply is not sufficient for this, vary. Anemia can cause fatigue, weakness, lack of energy and the head was floating. If anemia gain weight, can cause a stroke or heart attack.


Causes of Anemia

# Chronic (chronic)
# Bleeding nose
# Hemorrhoids (haemorrhoids)
# Peptic ulcer
# Bleeding great
# Acute (sudden)
# Accidents
# Surgery
# Labor
# Broken blood vessels
# Tumors kidney or bladder
# Menstrual bleeding very much
# Cancer or polyps in the digestive tract
# Reduced red blood cell formation
# Increased destruction of red blood cells

Crazy Sick

crazy sick there are 2 kinds, namely:

First: that caused by damage to the body member. For example the brain, central nervous or loss of the ability of the gland. this may be caused by poisoning due to alcohol, drugs or narcotics stimulants, due to gross disease and so on.



Second: is caused by mental disturbances which have dragged on so that its peak without a reasonable settlement or loss of mental balance as a whole, because the atmosphere is very stressful environment, inner tension and so on.

A mental illness attacked (Psychose), disturbed personality, and less capable of adapting to the natural, and not able to understand the problem. Often mentally ill people, do not feel that he was ill, otherwise he thought that he was normal, even better, more superior and more important than others.

My New Rug!

I haven't posted about my house in a long time because...well, it's been a slooooowwwww process. I have lots of 'almost there' rooms and projects and very few that are 'completely finished'. I think that's an on-going story with home ownership, though.

But...I was excited to get something for my kitchen this week that I have been wanting for a really long time. You see, someone before us decided that the ultimate bomb de la bomb for kitchen flooring would be white tile. With white grout. Did I mention that it's stacked on top of 38 other layers of flooring? I'm not slamming that previous home owner's taste in flooring, bless their heart (I once heard a comedian named Steve Guyer say that 'bless your heart' was a nice way of saying 'you're an idiot', FYI.). And I'm not slamming your taste in flooring if you happen to have picked out white tile and white grout, bless your heart. What I am saying is that white tile and white grout would be about the last flooring that I would pick out - except for maybe a dirt floor. Did I mention that I have a black dog. You just can't hide black hair on white tile, bless my heart.

So...I needed a large rug for my kitchen. But not just any rug. It had to be durable because - HELLO-O, I cook in there! It also had to be easy to clean because - HELLO-O, I cook in there! That ruled out jute and wool and just about every other material except polypropylene. Have you priced large rugs lately? They are not. cheap.

And then...I received it in the mail. Those glorious pieces of colorful paper all joined together that some refer to as the Ballard Designs catalogue. It was in the midst of those pages of inspiration that I found my huckleberry. A black polypropylene indoor/outdoor rug with tan colored medallions. Perfecto! And, it was only $89.00. Cha-ching! Combine that with my coupon and I only paid $90 and change after shipping! We thought we were going to be looking at $350 - $400. Can I hear a hallelujah somebody?

But, it was out of stock. So, I was faced with a dilemma. Should I pick an alternate rug or wait 2 months for the one I originally wanted? Let me tell ya, I am so glad that I waited. Do you want to see it? OK, OK already!

Me thinks it makes a big improvement. I would have shown you a before picture of the floor, but I couldn't find one. I can assure you, though, it was U-G-L-Y YOU AIN'T GOT NO ALIBI YOU UGLY, HEY, HEY, YOU UGLY. Oh, wait. That was a song. It's still true for my floor, though. But it's not so ugly anymore now that it's not all naked and ashamed and stuff like that.

So, my kitchen is coming along slowly but surely. Once I get those cabinets painted she'll be done. Every little thing makes a big impact, though. Don't you think?

This concludes today's broadcast of Ramblings of a Happy Homemaker. Thanks for listening, bless your heart.
