Okay, People Who Know
Feb. 11th, 2007 02:20 pmHow do I get this chlorine-pain and chlorine-haze out of my eyes? I think I used to know (Murine drops?) but now I don't. And I definitely don't have Murine drops.
Ow. Ow ow ow squint ow.

101°F and Climbing
Jul. 22nd, 2006 04:06 pmJust saying.
And, um, feel free to throw things, but I'm sort of enjoying watching the temperature climb. If you do throw things, please have them be of the cool and wet variety. Thanks.
Projected high for today was 99°F.

Jul. 13th, 2006 10:47 pmLavender Revolution: Plant essences linked to enlarged breasts in boys as posted by
vocalista001
"Two ingredients common in many hair- and skin-care products have been linked to abnormal development of breasts in boys. Lavender oil and tea tree oil contain compounds that act like female sex hormones and interfere with male hormones, researchers have determined."
...
"The plant essences presumably have similar potential effects in young girls, Reiter says. Studies show a recent rise of early breast development in girls (SN: 9/9/00, p. 165: http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20000909/fob3.asp). Prepubertal children have low sex hormone concentrations, so relatively small amounts of hormone-mimicking compounds might upset their physiologic balance at that age, says Reiter."
