Honey

[KnottedYet]

Lisa - I'm amazed your 1/2 lb of honeycomb lasted 3 days! I used to be able to get it pretty cheap, and we'd eat it from a spoon or spread the comb on bread (the wax melted on toast and really added to the taste and texture!)

I've started having problems with Burt's Bees minty lip balm. And I've loved it and used it for years! Enough people must be sensitive to the mint that BB has come up with a "honey" lip balm. I saw some at the store, but didn't buy a tube to try yet. No minty oils. http://www.burtsbees.com/webapp/wcs/...ubCategory=yes

Hi Knot,
Actually, i'll confess...the 1/2 lb of honeycomb did last me 3 days...but only because I didn't eat any the first day! So I really "ate" it in two days. I just dig into it with a spoon and skip the part about putting it ON anything...though your melted wax toast description sounds tempting!

Yeah, I used Burt's lip balm for YEARS several times a day- I loved it! Then that violent reaction happened all of a sudden. Weird.
Thanks for pointing out their new Honey Lip Balm- I didn't know about it! I suspect the problem for me WAS the peppermint oil. But both balms also contain rosemary extract- which would make me only try a tiny bit at first, in case it was THAT that my lips developed an allergy to, and not the peppermint. I'll spring for a HoneyBalm tube and check it out...I can always give it to my daughters if I react to it.
By the way...it is FUN to play with the fluttering bee on the Burt's webpage you link to!!! Keep playing with him with your mouse and he will eventually go hide in his hive. He'll stay there until you touch the hive withyour mouse pointer again, then he'll come out again to "play". COOL.

Knot, I REALLY like that funky "bee lady super hero" picture I attached to my first post in the thread. Do you think it would be dorky for me to use it as my TE avatar?? Tell me the truth now, I can take it. It don't want all the ohter chicks secretly laughing at me!

USE IT AS YOUR AVATAR!!!!!

Please, please, it would "bee" so cool!

Do it.... you know you want to! (and you can always switch it back later)

I did it!

Thank for encouraging my inner goof-ness.

Hey, I'm the LAST person to ever discourage goofy behaviour! The new avatar looks great!
