We will miss her

Contagion's Grandmother passed away last night at 8:10 PM.

It was a long road and a hard struggle for her. May she rest in peace.

Score: 7 In general, you tend to create poitive actions. You have a caring personality which gives you positive Karma. Every now and then you slip up and harvest negative Karma. But, all in all, you follow lines similar to the Monks on their way to enlightenment.

I'm sure this is a good thing!

Oh that Winter Skin.....

Our skin hates it. Cold dry air, friction that comes from wearing heavier clothing. Indoor heating....these all can make your skin dry, itchy and prone to cracks. How do you keep yourself from drying out this winter? Since I'm certain that I'm not the only person who experiences this, I thought I would pass along these 10 tips for this winter so maybe we can all reap the benefits of softer, smoother skin.

1. Add a humidifier to your bedroom.
2. Don't take long, hot showers and baths. You'll wash away the skins natural oils. Keep bathing to 10 minutes, use just warm water, keep the doors closed to lock in humidity and skip the fancy soaps (they can be drying) in favor of a mild, moisturizing, scent-free cleanser.
3. Moisturize your skin after bathing while it's still damp. Reapply as necessary.
4. Continue to use sun screen, even through the winter.
5. Don't lick your lips. Lips are prone to chapping because they don't have sweat or oil glands. Licking makes it worse! Petroleum jelly or lip balm works well.
6. Wear gloves when washing dishes or cleaning (OR have your husband do it!)
   
7. If hands or feet become extremely dry try slathering on a heavy lotion at night and wear cotton socks or gloves to bed. Treat cracked heals with a moisturizer containing lactic acid or urea. If the problem is severe, see your dermatologist.
8. Wear soft clothing next to your skin (I think they should make silk long underwear!)
   
9. Use unscented fabric softeners. Perfumes and chemicals can be drying. (But they smell so NICE! I don't think I can do this one.)
   
10. Leave your electric blanket turned "OFF". It will suck the moisture from your skin as you sleep. (Then what is the point of having one?)
    

Personally, I love Eucerin Calming Creme. I've never experience a lotion that works as well at this does!

Ways To Uplift the Workplace

Believe it or not, this was distributed in our office last week! I particularly like #8!

1. Page yourself over the intercom. Don't disguise your voice.
2. Find out where your boss shops and buy exactly the same outfits. Wear them one day after your boss does. This is especially effective if your boss is of a different gender than you.
3. Make up nicknames for all your coworkers and refer to them only by these names. "That's a good point, Sparky." "No, I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to disagree with you there, Cha-cha."
4. Hi-Lite your shoes. Tell people you haven't lost them as much since you did this.
5. While sitting at your desk, soak your fingers in Palmolive liquid. Call everyone Madge.
6. Hang mosquito netting around your cubicle. When you emerge to get coffee or a printout or whatever, slap yourself randomly the whole way.
7. Put a chair facing a printer. Sit there all day and tell people you're waiting for your document.
8. Every time someone asks you to do something, anything, ask him or her if they want fries with that.
9. Send e-mail back and forth to yourself engaging yourself in an intellectual debate. Forward the mail to a co-worker and ask her to settle the disagreement.
10. Encourage your colleagues to join you in a little synchronized chair-dancing.
11. Put your trash can on your desk. Label it "IN."
12. Feign an unnatural and hysterical fear of staplers.
13. Put decaf in the coffee maker for three weeks. Once everyone has withdrawn from caffeine addiction, switch to espresso.
