Israel. Yom Haatzmaut this week celebrates 61 years. I figured it would be better than "Iyar - it's not Pesach, it's not Shavuot...."

That's cute, Kmelion!

Actually, I think that would have been rather funny.

We had our Yom HaAtzmut "al ha'eish" (barbecue) early...

Now somewhere or other I have a blue and white striped tichel I wear for YA but I do not know where it is hiding...

subbing. My birthday is this coming month as well - May and Iyar.

Rashi had a pretty bad allergic reaction to something (we think he was given food at school that he reacted to - too bad we don't know what was in it). he broke out in hives Thursday night - went on his face, ears, mouth, neck feet - every place. Pretty frightening.
On friday, I got him into the dr. and we were given a prescription for an epipen - may we never need to use it!. He is still tonight, breaking out into more hives. this is ridiculous.
We have been giving benadryl throughout.
I told the ped that I'd call a 'regular' allergist and schedule an appointment - just to keep our ped happy. She gave me a couple of names and I plan to do that tomorrow. Dh would rather I took him to where we're currently taking Akiva (which shocked me!) to have her test him - I figure we'll probably do both as skin testing has not been an effective measure for us.

you should know that vit c opens up some of the livers detox pathways and is useful in preventing ana reactions, in getting rid of hives, etc... it has hleped many a mama on the allergies board. give 1 gram and i would give every hr to several times a day till the reaction was gone.

Hi everyone! I lost you for a bit. Couldn't find the new thread @@

Well, ds's asthma is awful right now w/all the pollen in the air. Poor kid - I really feel for him

And, there have been 5 confirmed cases of swine flu at dh's office (NYC). Lovely. Let's hope it stays far from us!

So, last night I went to the annual Shalom Bayis shiur. It was really great! The speaker was Rabbi Aryeh Pamensky. He gave pointers, examples, and tools for "how to make a marriage great". I walked away with a lot of information for improving our marriage. He also has a website www.happywife.com where he has classes on mp3 (?) files for you to download. Currently there is no cost to download them, but he told us that would be changing. I urge you to check out his site. Dh is even on board with this. After I came home last night Dh and I sat down and listened to one.

Aryeh Pamensky is a good friend of dh's (they were in the same smicha class). His classes seem great.

Sorry couldn't resist.
