Lisa Shea Forums Parakeets Off-Topic for Parakeet Owners Happy turkey day to all

I hope each and everyone of the forum members has a great turkey day and gives thanks for their blessings.

Remember that keets like baked squash or sweet potatoes (plain of course, no butter, sugar or salt) and steamed veggies and maybe even a little fresh pumpkin .....yum! Bob and Tom are already begging!

Happy Turkey Day to you too! I only hope my itching stops soon. I went off steroids a few days ago and it just killed me - I am itching like crazy and have been sleeping most of the time. I finally am feeling sane enough today to try to get some work done!

I do have hope that the poison ivy will start to subside soon.

I'm glad we don't have poison ivy over here.

Gosh Lisa you sure have been overwhelmed by that poison ivy. So sorry for you. I learned a few years ago to wash immediately with dish soap for 10 minutes if ever exposed to poison anything and it really works to cut the oils and prevent the out break.

I sure hope it improves quickly. The worst thing that ever happened to me was that I disturbed a yellow jacket nest by accident and got over 100 stings. I was on steroids for over a month. It was horrible. So I can relate.

happy thanksgiving tess and everyone else! we are putting up christmas decorations right now. got the tree up and decorated and some window clings done and some lights put up around the house. still got a million more to do but im cleaning each room as i go so its taking a long while. im odd i even decorate my bathroom. there is a light up frosty in there and lights on the vanity. ohhh well. i love lights what can i say. im driving my kids crazy with christmas music. i have to have it on when i decorate.

Happy Thanksgiving

Have a nice thanksgiving. Lisa I had bad poison ivy too once, but I was prescribed that soap that washes the oils out and that took care of it.

PDM - ooops really? One of my medieval novels has a character get poison ivy! I'll have to change that. What do you have instead that is like poison ivy? Are stinging nettles like that?

PDM do you have poison oak, or sumac?
