Chicken Pox or Bedbug Bites: A Definitive Analysis
By: John T Jones Ph.D.

Do you remember as a kid when the local board of health would send a man or woman to your house who would take a look at you and say Thats Chicken Pox all right!

Then he or she would put a sign in your window which said in big black letters CHICKEN POX.

Well if it wasnt chickenpox it was mumps diphtheria scarlet fever measles or the dreaded polio.

You dont remember

Well I guess you are not of my generation.

We got shots for some of the childhood diseases of our day but not for all of them.

There where seven kids in my house and someone always had something. My mother wanted everybody to have the same disease at once. Once she put me in bed with my little brother so that I would catch whooping cough.

I didnt catch whooping cough or anything else that came into our home except one day after a marvelous career of complete immunity I woke up with a rash.

Mother said John you got chickenpox!

Its just bedbugs. Thats all. The rash will go away.

I knew I couldnt catch anything because I always held my breath around the sick.

We had to fight bedbugs back then. Everybody in our neighborhood did. I dont know if the sparrows carried them to the rich side of town or not. But we had them.

We were continually tearing the beds apart scrubbing the springs with lie soap stomping killing maiming the bed bugs here and there. After such a cleaning you could sleep well perhaps until the next Thursday and then you had to go through the cleanup ritual again.

When I was in Korea before DDT was poisonous and softening the bird eggs and all we were continually harassed by medical guys shooting DDT into our britches. That was so we would not get Bubonic Plague from the fleas in our bunkers.

I never got the Bubonic Plague never saw anyone with the Bubonic Plague and never heard of anyone with the Bubonic Plague. (After seeing seeing the plague documentary on the History Channel Im very glad of that. http://www.historychannel.com/classroom/admin/study_guide/archives/thc_guide.0037.html)

The DDT did the trick.

Thats how we finally got rid of bedbugs forever.

We used DDT.

I went to http://www.naturalginesis.com/remove_bed_bugs_the__nontoxic_way_.htm. The pictures there of bed bugs made my skin crawl! I hated those things when I was growing up. The little buggers would suck the

blood out of you and swell up until they were the size of lady bird beetles except they were hideous lady bird beetles.

The reference site carries products to kill pest. Im sure they are not in competition with most of us so I used them as a reference anyway. One of their testimonials says:

I kept waking up with mysterious bites and on occasion found blood spots on my sheets suggesting they were the culprit. Sure enough I found some bed bugs upon further inspection the day after I bought your product. They were all over my apartment! I only found a few but one was in the living room one was in the bedroom one was in the kitchen and a baby was even in the bathroom! (The person who gave the above testimonial didnt have chickenpox!)

Vampires!

Thats what they call bedbugs at the reference site.

I agree! My skin is crawling from thinking about the little creeps.

My mother didnt believe me of course. Mothers seldom do in such matters. The man came from the health department put the sign on the window CHICKEN POX and left.

I said Momma Im going outside to play.

You cant go out not for 10 days.

I said Mother Im not sick. I want to play. These are bedbug bites.

It did no good. I never got a fever nor did I become ill but I did get quarantined like my paternal grandfather did at Ellis Island.

After much research Ive found that they had to have bedbugs on the Mayflower.

Im descended from George Soule who was the 35th signer of the Mayflower compact.

At http://members.aol.com/calebj/soule.html you will find that George was born in 15951602 England and he died 22 January 1679 Duxbury MA He married Mary Buckett in1626 at Plymouth and had nine kids.

I ought to know a bedbug bite when I see one.

The End

P.S. I want you to know that I restrained form using a great deal of profanity in describing the bedbugs in this article.

Electrically Adjustable Bed

August 26th, 2009 No comments

How to care for your relatives at home.

It is always a major decision to take the responsibility of caring for disabled or aged relatives at home. A geriatric nurse could easily handle the situation but most people dont have that kind of training. Most all people also lack the specialized equipment that makes it easy to care for other people.

However these days there are numerous suppliers that have affordable prices for equipment that were once only available in nursing homes. Today you can buy an electrically adjustable bed that will fit into any homes decor and wiring.

Normal adjustable beds only raise the back and provide knee rests for reading however these beds provide much more. These beds were designed in particular for people that have mobility problems or may have to stay in bed for extended periods. You can also vary the height and adjust the lower leg rest front and rear tilt functions. These special adjustment features are very useful. You need to help the bed bound person change position regularly if they have limited mobility.

Individuals who are Bedbound usually suffer from poor blood circulation with swelling that leads to pain and possibly even blood clots. Pressure sores and ulcers may also result. When a person stays in one position for too long pressure on contact points leads to loss of blood flow and to dying tissue. Reduced mobility may also lead to urinary tract infections constipation and contractures.

For people having mobility problems it is important to change their sleeping position no less than every two hours to avoid other complications. Your choice of bed therefore is fundamental a small investment in the individuals comfort and health.

It is also an important investment in keeping yourself safe and whole. If there is no training in lifting and moving patients with back injuries strain is a real danger. A completely adjustable bed eases the burden of heavy lifting and lowers the risk of serious injury.

You may need to get lifting equipment for bedtowheelchair or wheelchairtobath movements if the persons mobility is very limited.

As generations age the number of elderly living and being cared for at home continues to increase attracting the interest of manufacturers eager to fill the need for caregiving equipment that is both reasonably priced and attractive. Manufacturers have realized with an aging population and the increasing numbers of people being cared for at home that there is a need for good equipment that is affordable and attractive.

August 26th, 2009 No comments

Best Choice for summers Cotton Bed Sheets

This summer decorate your bedroom with pure or mixed cotton bed sheets. Bed Sheets as we all know are the large piece of designer clothes which when spread on the bed make it look elegant. These are also a way of comfort which ease out all our tiredness. As these are main factors in taking out the stress and strain out of our bodies they need to be soft and cozy and in summers with temperature rising as high as 41 deg C nothing can be better than cotton. Designed and colored with bright and light eye catching colors these are matchless.

The quality of bed sheet or bed spread depends entirely upon the thread count. It is a known fact that higher the thread count softer the bed sheet is. But then there is also a negative point associated with it. The higher the thread count the earlier the bed sheet will wean out. Still bed sheets with higher thread count are preferred as they provide better comfort and do not wrinkle easily. To know the thread count you can ask the shopkeeper himself or you can simply look at the corner of the bed sheet where the thread count is generally mentioned.

The design and the color of the bed sheet differs. It also depends upon the place where it is manufactured or the place where it is being exported. Basically the bed sheets are organic solid (basic plain) stripe or jacquard. You will find a number of designs in the fourth category of bed sheets. These days Egyptian Cotton Bed Sheets are considered the best in terms of cotton as Egyptian cotton is considered to be the softest in the world. Those who know this fact prefer to buy Egyptian cotton bed sheets only.

Bed Sheets also differ in the type of print some are made from being spread in hotels some are made for home use and some of them are made for kids only. Kids sections include all sorts of cartoons and paintings made on the bed sheets.

You can buy these bed sheets from online shopping stores where the design of the bed sheet can be seen on the screen of these websites. To see how actually these online stores work just log on to any of the leading online shopping stores like Home Shop 18 and enjoy the benefits associated with them.

Author suggests to you purchase best Home Furnishings items like bed sheets cushion covers blankets beddings and many more. Tags: paintings colors known fact all sorts stress tiredness hotels designer clothes shopkeeper thread count shopping stores

Washable Dog Bed

August 26th, 2009 No comments

A Look at Discount Dog Beds
By: Ken Marlborough

Many people want to make sure their family pet has just the right bed but might not be willing to pay the (often quite hefty) price. Its actually more difficult to find designer and luxury dog beds especially for oversized pets than it is to find discount dog beds for average sized animals. If youre not too fussy about the design of the fabrics being used in the bed; if your dog is of average size and weight; and if her sleeping habits are not too extreme in the curling up or stretching out situations; you can probably save a lot of money when you purchase a dog bed thats right for her.

To begin with a lot of the more expensive bedmakers change their designs just like clothing designers do for people if not quite as often. The changes do result in closeouts and discontinued items being drastically marked down at pet shops across the country and on the Internet. Then there are the many pet supermarkets and discount retailers who carry a variety of comfortable beds in a variety of colors at prices much reduced from the luxury beds available at upscale pet shops.

Then there is always the option to go ahead and make your own dog bed. If youve got any sewing ability at all (and for the most part a dog bed is more about being comfortable

and durable than about looking great) you can produce an averagesized comfortable washable dog bed for just a few dollars worth of fabric and filler material. Cut a couple of pieces of fabric it can be from an old sheet a shower curtain or a nice comfy old bathrobe and sew them together to make a pillow of the right size. Stuff it with filler material and you have a comfy simple dog bed. You may also create a fancier dog bed with an upper ring by cutting a long rectangle of fabric and creating a tubular pillow to go around the edge. Then fasten the upper ring to the original base with hand stitching.

You have just created a comfortable washable bed for your dog made with love by your own two hands using a piece of fabric youd probably throw away some kind of filler material and a little bit of your precious time. What better way to save money and take care of your loving pet at the same time Youll enjoy the process of making the bed just as much as your pet will enjoy sleeping in it.

Dog Beds Info provides detailed information about small and large dog beds as well as designer orthopedic and discount dog beds. Dog Beds Info is the sister site of Bird Cages Web.

Below are examples of unique ways to celebrate a bridal shower.

Luau Luaus are festive tropical and fun. The bride and the guest can come in grass skirts and bikinis and have the shower by the poolside. This is especially suitable for summer weather. Gifts need not necessarily be themed according to the bridal shower though. Gift themes can include bed bath kitchen and garden themes.

Spa A spa bridal shower says rest and rejuvenation. Let the bride enjoy a full day of pampering treatments such as onehour massages scrubs facials nail care hair care and time spent in a hot tub sauna or steam room. Spa bridal showers can carry a bed and bath gift theme.

Camping hints and tips

Going camping is a really popular pastime and whether you want to rent a cottage and hike all day or relax and camp in a tent under the stars youll have options. You have to come prepared though or it can be exceedingly difficult to camp and really enjoy yourself.

The first thing you need to pay attention to is your tent. If you arent sure which one to get go to a camping store do some online research and/or consult with people who camp regularly to get some advice on a tent that will meet your needs. How many people youre taking with you on the trip and how many of them will be sharing a tent are important things to know at that point. Dont let someone talk you into the most expensive tent thats out there though because you probably dont need that. There are less expensive offerings that will work just as well – but dont buy the cheapest thing either. You want your tent to keep you safe and dry. While youre getting a tent youll probably want to get a sleeping bag. Make sure its comfortable big enough and warm enough especially if youll be doing any camping when the weather is cool.

Some people also buy a small grill or cookstove so they can cook their food without needing to build a big fire and guess when the food might be cooked. You dont want to accidentally poison yourself during your camping weekend. After youve dealt with these particular issues its vital that you spend some time selecting the right clothing for the trip. You should have boots that are weather resistant and that repel water so your feet wont get soaked. You also want clothing thats lightweight but warm and youll want to have some extra socks and other clothing in whatever backpack you buy so that youll always be able to change your clothing if it gets wet. A sudden rainstorm can leave you wet and cold and miserable even on an otherwise warm day and it takes a while to dry out. Get a backpack thats lightweight but big so you can carry everything that you need. Food and water (as well as a filter or water purifying tablets) are essential and you might also want a deck of cards a good book or something similar for those times when it might be rainy and youre stuck in your tent.

Plans To Build Bunk Beds How To Build A Bed That Fits Your Room And Your Budget

So youre looking for some good plans to build bunk beds Today many people want to build bunk beds themselves to save some money instead of having to hire somebody to come over do it for them. This is where bunk bed plans come in.

As with many other projects around the home many people today feel that they can do it themselves to save some money without having to hire somebody else to do it for them. With bunk beds you may or may not be able to handle this yourself. If you do plan doing yourself whether you plan on building kids bunk beds futon bunk beds or other varities here are some important tips to keep in mind before you begin.

Keep in mind that when you purchase a bunk bed most of them include the plans to build bunk beds. Of course some of these plans include just the box while others also help you to build other features to install into the bunk bed.

Most of these plans generally start out by constructing the two separate same size beds and then they expand and how to attach the beds to each other. Of course some of them also include instructions on how to construct box springs to support the mattress instead of just plywood.

Of course plywood can do the job but in order to be absolutely sure that the bunk bed is sturdy you should probably use back springs. Not only is this more sturdy but also much more comfortable for your children.

When constructing a bunk bed make sure that you focus on safety. Very simply this is extremely important as if you dont have a say about that your children will certainly be in danger. For this make sure that the guard rails on the bunk bed are in working order and dont move when you touch them.

Probably the most important part of your bunk bed is the guard rails because when somebody is leaving a top bunk these can make the difference between them staying on top and falling off. Very simply when you dont put the guard rails on just right just a little weight will knock them off and could therefore cause a serious injury to somebody who falls off the tap.

First of all before you begin with your plans to build bunk beds youll need some simple materials to start with. These should include wood plywood screwdrivers etc. There are many more things youll need and youll want to consult with the instruction manual before doing so. The amount of material is obviously dependent on what kind of bunk bed that you are constructing.

First of all before you start make sure that nobody else is in the room that you are building. This is because you want to have accurate estimate of how much space you have available the room. Also make that you take into consideration the other furniture that will be in the room as well as if you build a bunk bed to big for the room you will have a big problem in your hands.

Unfortunately many people go to all the work of building the whole bunk bed but when they get done find out that is too large for the bedroom. Make sure that you know the dimensions before you begin.

Once youre done you will obviously need to purchase more supplies fory our bunk beds such as the bunk bed mattress and possible bunk bed curtains. Try to do this via the internet as you can save some serious cash this way. Hopefully these plans to build bunk beds will help you to avoid these common problems and assist you in building a bunk bed as quickly and easily as possible regardless of your past experience.

Bed Spread And Comforter

August 26th, 2009 No comments

The Difference in a Bed Spread and Comforter

You may be surprised to learn that yes there is a difference in a bed spread and comforter. Many people often think of these two things as the same thing. While they really both serve the same purpose the two are quite different in deed. Telling the comforter apart from the bed spread is not that hard to do. Once you know the difference you will be able to spot the difference in no time and tell the two apart yourself.

While both the bed spread and comforter are used to cover the bed and keep you warm at night they both have very noticeable differences. If you care to take notice you will find that the comforter is quite fluffy and full of stuffing. The comforter is also thick and can even be heavier than a bed spread is. If you are ever to wear hole in your comforter you will see that there is stuffing inside and even sometimes there are feathers.

While the bed spread and comforter are quite different you may still want to learn a little more about the bed spread. A bed spread is always thin and sometimes referred to as a coverlet. You would be more apt to use a bed spread in the summer and warmer months and pull the comforter out of storage during the cooler months. That is how different the weights are in the two. You will be able to tell quite a difference sleeping under a bed spread when it is cold outside if you are used to sleeping under a comforter. A bed spread is not stuffed with any stuffing but will at times have a thin batting between the two layers of the top and bottom kind of like a quilt. You will also find bed spreads that are as thin as a blanket with only one layer of fabric used to make the whole thing.

Deciding which you prefer between the bed spread and comforter will be a personal preference. However it is not unreasonable to own one of each nor is it odd to use one or the other all year round. You should decide how you would be the most comfortable sleeping and go with that choice. Some people do use the comforter year round even in the warmer months in hotter climates. However these people also probably keep their home quite cool when it is hot outside and like the look of the comforter on the bed rather than the bed spread. There are also some that prefer the bed spread year round and go with that choice. You will have to make the choice for yourself. However you now know the difference between the two and will be able to choose accordingly.
