Thimble Hall Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Eraser crumbles beat my hair, that's funny you win !! Actually I intend using the hair on mini dolls ..maybe Her is another one for you..oh boy I am beginning to sound like a real fruit cake. You know when you get an piece of fruit and it has a little sticker on it, well I can't throw them away. I peel them off the fruit and stick them to whatever is handy.. the edge of a table etc, they are all over the place, when my daughter comes over and when I am not looking she steals them. They are mini bits of art and I have done this as long as I can remember. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 The stickers on our fresh fruit are NOT works of art by any stretch of the imagination. I will, however, soak off wine labels that I think will work as mini art: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thimble Hall Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Well to me they looked very special when I was very little after the war and I got a banana for the first time , it had a little sticker on it, the usual fruit didn't so this had to be special !!

grazhina Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I think I know what may be making me sneeze and my nose run only when I'm cooking. It's assuredly not pepper, which has only made me sneeze once in my adult life. It seems to be chopping onions that causes the sneezing. On the other hand, chopping onions almost never makes me cry.

blueirishmoon Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 When I lived in Florida, onions only ever made me cry. But since living in North Carolina, the local onions grown here make my nose burn and run, my eyes burn and run, and I also have a hard time breathing. Something becomes super concentrated when they're grown here. I have to take an allergy pill if I'm going to be around them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thimble Hall Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Try peeling and chopping your onions in a large bowl of clod water, keeping them under the water as you do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldenrodfarm Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Onions always get me no matter where I peel them, but I love them! I did some horseradish up for the winter last week, those fumes are 1000 times worse then the onions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I have almost no issues with the Vidalia sweet onions, unlike regular yellow onions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueirishmoon Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I've tried it all, and different types too. Nothing helps but avoidance. The only thing I get similar reactions to is ammonia. I can't be around it, I lose my voice on top of all the other onion symptoms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 When Vidalias aren't in season I go with either dehydrated or frozen chopped onions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grazhina Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 The part of the onion that has the most concentrated essence of the stuff that makes you cry is near the root end. When you cut or slice an onion, cut the top and then @ 3/4" of the bottom end and toss them away immediately before cutting up the rest of the onion. This might help.
