Infant cold medicine being pulled from shelves

The medicine is being taken off of the shelf because parents are not following the guidelines resulting in an overdose. The medication is not bad or tainted.  It is so important to give the exact amount of medication to children. If the medication says do not give to a child under 2 or gives weight dosage it is very important to follow those instructions. If you do not know how much your child weighs DO NOT GUESS. The medication works when it is used the way it is intended in the correct dose for the child.

You can call your physician and they will give you an exact dose for your child. Lani takes medication, that on the bottle it says not to give to a child under 2 but because her doctor figures out the correct dosage for her it is very safe. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE if you are unsure if you should give it to your child THEN DON’T.

Aloha Friends,

The upcoming weekend should be exciting for sustainable food and agriculture in Hawaii. Honolulu Weekly presents the 3rd Annual “Little Kitchens,” a culinary event highlighting locally produced food provided by some of the island’s best small restaurants. It will be held at the Hawai’i State Art Museum in downtown Honolulu from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m. A silent auction will benefit Slow Food O’ahu, a Kokua/’AINA In Schools partner that supports sustainable agriculture and rediscovery of the pleasures of the table. Visit http://www.honoluluweekly.com/littlekitchens/ to learn more and to purchase tickets.

Don’t miss the Hawaii screening of ‘The Real Dirt on Farmer John’! It is this Sunday at 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. We are thrilled to have Farmer John himself present for the Q&A following the 5 p.m. screening. We are also excited to have Gary and Kukui Maunakea-Forth of MA’O Youth Organic Farm present for the Q&A.

Hope to see you there!

Aloha,

Switched at birth

I could not even imagine if someone came to me and told me that my baby was the baby I gave birth too.  These couples have decided on their own to switch the 10 month old girls before their first birthday.  To be honest I don’t know if I could switch them back.  I have loved this baby, watched her grow.  The child you are holding is the child you have stayed up with all night long, this is the child that looks at you can calls you Mommy.

My husband and tried for a long time to have our youngest daughter.  We lost 3 babies before her and she was a twin and we lost the twin.  We have watched her grow and we have had the sleepless nights and the moments when you just stand there and watch them sleep and thank God for giving her to you. 

I really don’t know how I would react to a situation like this.  I pray I will never have to find out and my heart goes out to these parents.

Blast from the past

 

A relaxing day at the beach or a stroll through a historic town, I love days like that.  I like to take it slow just going up and down the beach.  I am not a water person so spending the day at the beach does not consist of me playing around in the water.  What I do like to do is ride bikes up and down the boardwalks.  Beach bicycles make this so enjoyable.  Just a lazy day peddling around, going into all of the little out of the way shops with the smell of salt in the air and the breeze blowing through your hair.

 

The little baskets on the bikes are great for keeping all of the treasures you find along the way.  Beach cruisers remind me of the shows from the 50’s when life was much simpler.  

You can get one now for as little as $88, now that is a flash back to the prices of yester year.  Now days you can not get a good bike for less than $100 then you have to buy a comfortable seat for it.  Beach cruisers come with a really wide seat, just perfect for an all day ride around the boardwalk.  Men and women would love on of these comfortable, less complicated bikes.  You don’t have 10 gears to choose from, making the trip all about seeing the sites not fiddling with gears.

 

Don’t eat the pot pies

Banquet frozen turkey and chicken pot pies have been linked to an outbreak of salmonella poisoining. The pot pies with the code P-9 are affected by the recall. You can return the empty boxes to the store you purchased them at or mail them to ConAgra Foods for a refund.

So far 100 people in 12 different states have fallen ill after eating the pot pies. Please check your freezer and throw the pies out if you have any. If you did eat one, you usually become sick 12 to 72 hours after eating it and your symptoms would include diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps.

Independent Thought

Studying for 70-270 or 310-200 can be quite a nuisance if you have not done 70-296 or 1Y0-259 earlier. This also means that advanced certifications like EX0-100 cannot be achieved without basics like 70-536 and 156-215.
