Please know that you can take your time sifting through the info, you do not have to rush into a decision either way. Have you searched the archives yet? THere is a lot of info concerning Prevnar that may interest you. Also, look into the conflicts of interests within the CDC, FDA, and pharmaceutical companies. Here's some links I hope will help you in your search: http://www.909shot.com/ http://www.access1.net/Via/ http://vaccineinfo.net/ CherylO in Michigan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 27, 2003 Report Share Posted February 27, 2003 Hi Barb Welcome to our little " community " of soapers & toiletry makers. I'm sure you'll fit in nicely and enjoy our group. We're very informal here so you'll see posts regarding things other than just " business " . We don't stand on formality here. (hehe) We're more like a bunch of friends who bounce things off each other whether it's business related or not. It could just be the weather that we want to " moan " about. So don't feel you have to just keep it business related. I live in the Mohawk Valley (just east of Utica) in a small town called Ilion. I do M & P soaps for now along with bath salts, fizzers, lotions, etc. I've been doing it for about 2 yrs now and am constantly learning (or trying) new things. I sell to a few stores locally, do retail from home and have stuff in a consignment shop. I don't have a website and don't know if I'll ever go that route but who knows what the future holds. I'm married with a 27 yr old daughter expecting our first grandchild in August and I have a 14 yr. old daughter at home. Yuck, going thru the teen years again!! Again, WELCOME. New and Intro Hello I am new to this list and a soapmaker in the Finger lakes area. I am not unfamiliar with Central NY though, I grew up in the Rochester area and I went to college in Buffalo. As a matter of fact we *might* be relocating to Rochester in the next few months. Don't know if that will happen, but I really sort of like the idea. I have been making soap and toiletries for about 2 years now. I love the learning aspect of it, you know trying different oils, adding scents, adding colors, that type of thing. Right now I am experimenting with surfacants for shampoos and such. I think my favorite part (aside from having great soap) is that I can continue to learn with this craft. Now personal info, I am a mother of three. Two boys 10 and 7 (almost 8) and a girl who will be two in May. I think their favorite creation of mine are bath fizzes ...........figures right? :-) I am excited to find a local group of soapmakers. Barb C.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2003 Report Share Posted February 27, 2003 Oh me too! I love the learning aspect of it! It is so much fun and you get to create useful things. Welcome to the group! This is a really nice group, very helpful and fun too. I am in the Binghamton area in a little town called Greene. I don't get up to Rochester very often since my father moved to Detroit area from Fairport. Lorrie > I have been making soap and toiletries for about 2 years now.

You went to school in Buffalo? Which one? I grew up in Niagara Falls and worked in Buffalo for several years, so I like hearing about HOME...lol!

I commend you for taking in your daughter and her boys, it’s obvious she needs help at this time in her life, and its wonderful of you to help her I look forward to learning more about you and your family, your unschooling approaches, and small farm life!! Sounds like A LOT of fun to me !! As for sensitive issues, I believe we have ALL brought one of those to the group at one time or another, and rest assured, we aren’t here to judge, only to listen, comfort, understand and help out as best as we can, even if it’s just in supporting each other. I don’t believe ANY of us has all the answers, we are all just doing our very best Take care, and write to us more soon! =) From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Tricia Sent: Sunday, May 24, 2009 7:29 PM Subject: ( ) new and intro Hi everyone and thanks for allowing me to be apart of your group.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Tricia welcome to the group. You can also ask to communicate privately on email to one of our group members. Alabama is very beautiful. I attended a health retreat in a small mountain town in north Alabama (Mentone) before my daughter was born. So sorry to hear about your daughter's health issues too.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 and thank you for your warm welcome! It really is beautful in Alabama and sometimes I take it for granted,so thanks for reminding me I really should stop and smell the roses once in awhile.:-D We have cows,pigs,horses,chickens,rabbits,cats and as my aspie calls them k-9 Americans (dogs):-)we also raise a large garden.And it is alot of fun for us all. Our approach to unschooling is very simple,I follow their lead,whatever they are interested in I help them to learn all I can on it which then leads them to become interested in other things.We don't do any curriculum at all.We have been unschooling all of their lives.I have never sat down and done a formal lesson on any subject. If you would like to know more just ask,I am passionate about unschooling! My daughter's doctor told her not to have another baby after Elijah was born (because of the lupus) and has been very sick since giving birth to her 2nd child.So I have raised them all of their lives,but I am Nanna and dd is Mom. I would love to know about your lives,if you'd like to share.;-) > > Welcome to the group, Tricia.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Our 11 year old daughter would love your animals we have a mini lop rabbit, a guiena pig, mice, a dog and fish. Because our daughter loves animals so much we spend the weekends in the summer at a RV campground in northern NJ. The campground is on a farm and she loves to feed the animals. Our daughter has not enjoyed school. She is more a scientist type and she likes to study things and the pace of school overwhelms her. I drove once from Birmingham to Destin Beach area of Alabama, I was surprised Alabama had such nice beaches. We can drive from the mountains in NJ and get to the New Jersey Shore in about 3.5 hours. Parts of the NJ shore are like the Destin beach area in Alabama other areas are small victorian towns with B & B's. We like to go to the small town beaches so our daughter can spend the weekend walking around the little town. We have lots of homeschoolers in NJ. My sister in law homeschools her 4 kids. Her kids work from a curriculum in the morning and they are done by 12noon. I hope it is worth the stress we have with school (and math) to keep her in school. If we did home school the only home schooling we could do is unschooling. My daughter has a strong will to follow her interests. She may do well in all areas except math (she has a LD in math). > We have cows,pigs,horses,chickens,rabbits,cats and as my aspie calls them k-9 Americans (dogs):-)we also raise a large garden.And it is alot of fun for us all.

The main struggle we have had with our daughter is with her almost daily outbursts when something is changed or doesn't go as planned. She would enjoy life more if friends and family were more predictable. It's never predictable enough so we are coping as best we can with keeping her socializing anyway.
