Did you get the right freebie Vallie? When I looked at the store freebie for this week, the old one was displayed, but when I scrolled down, the new current one was displayed under it.

Sands - I'm not sure if this would even work for you, or if the pressure is worse than the potential infection from getting water in the inner ear....... but Carrie has had myringotomies in both of her ears for her entire life, and has always used silly putty to keep the water out. We always rolled a bit of silly putty into a cylindrical shape about 1.5" long by .5" in diameter, then inserted it into the ear and molding it to fill the space in the outer opening of the ear. Maybe .25" or .5" actually gets pushed into the middle of the ear, but it is mostly in the outer ear. It is essentially an ear plug specially molded to fit your ear. It does not "melt" into the ear, but I have no idea how it would work in a pressurized dive situation.

Galen went to take the garbage out some time ago and maybe decided to take a longer walk and enjoy the weather. That is fine but in this land of bears and rattlesnakes it would be even finer if he had taken the phone with him.

Why? So he could "shoot" a picture of the bear or snake. That'll scare 'em!

In royalty-speak I think it's called a proclamation.

So if I helped Bia study, we cannot be proud?

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr..................

OMG JD........this is the cutest kindy story I think I have ever heard!!!!! Still laughing.
