His brothers cracked up and that was that.  I am sure the picture made its way through the brothers&#8217; social media.  I know many a kid has done this yet it never seems to become old.  I will say that this time it took me off guard since I have long since needed these items.  When I asked Kid of Mine where he found it, I was told the laundry room. I am always surprised at the things I find around since the boys have discovered that girls don&#8217;t have cooties!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:0\">Josh had to have some teeth pulled out for his orthodontic work to be effective.  Sanj and I both have small mouths, who would have thought, eh? I get so sidetracked!  Sorry.  Anyways, the surgery only took less than 20 minutes from start to finish, which made me think of the dollars\/hour this guy makes after I saw the bill!  I also found him very hyper so I wonder if that was part of the quickness of the procedure.  Oh well, all was well that ended well.  Back to the original subject, so I was called up to see Josh as he was in recovery.  Wow, that happy gas sure made his chatty!  Anyways this was what I walked into:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/livinglovingbreathingboys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_0310-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4688\" srcset=\"http:\/\/livinglovingbreathingboys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_0310-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/livinglovingbreathingboys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_0310-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/livinglovingbreathingboys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_0310.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>OB is the Tampon of Choice, Apparently.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course I cracked up!   Love this face so much!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few things I found out if you are interested in being educated on the many other uses of the &#8220;feminine&#8221; hygiene products <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Emergency bandage. For a cut or abrasion, pull apart a sanitary napkin and use it to absorb blood and hold on the wound.<\/li><li>Nosebleed stoppers. Gently insert a tampon into the bleeding nostril.<\/li><li>Tinder. Both tampons and sanitary napkins can be pulled apart and used as tinder when building a fire when camping or even in your back yard BBQ.<\/li><li>Nail polish remover. If you are out of cotton balls, pull apart a sanitary pad or tampon.<\/li><li>Toe separators. You can use individual tampons between your toes when you paint them.<\/li><li>Spill cleanup. A sanitary pad can be a useful tool for absorbing spills.<\/li><li>Painting tool. Use a sanitary pad for sponge painting.<\/li><li>Pest deterrents. Hang tampons from tomato stakes to scare away deer and other pests from your garden.<\/li><li>Head cooler. Does your child have a fever, or are you feeling hot? Dampen a sanitary pad, place it in the freezer for a short time, and place it on your forehead.<\/li><li>Ear cleaner. Tampons can be dampened and used to clean out your dog\u2019s ears.<\/li><li>Test tube cleaners. Tampons are the perfect size for cleaning out test tubes.<\/li><li>Eye soother. Cut a sanitary pad in half, soak in witch hazel or green tea, squeeze it out, and place over your puffy eyes to reduce swelling.<\/li><li>Essential oil diffuser. Soak a tampon in your favourite essential oil and then suspend it in the area you want to treat.<\/li><li>Cat toy. Roll a tampon in catnip and let your kitty have fun!<\/li><li>Packing material. Sanitary pads can be helpful when packing up glassware for moving.<\/li><li>Ice pack. Soak a sanitary pad in water, freeze, and place in a plastic baggy to use as an ice pack.<\/li><li>Potty training accessory. For those who keep a training potty in the car, also keep a sanitary pad for soaking up the liquid until you find a place to dispose of your trash properly.<\/li><li>Pipe protector. If you have pipes that form condensation, wrap a sanitary pad around them to collect the water.<\/li><li>Hair curlers. Use both tampons and rolled up sanitary pads for hair curlers.<\/li><li>Keep spare tampons or sanitary pads in your glove compartment, purse, camping gear, first aid kit, and backpack. You never know when you may need one!<\/li><li><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>*Thanks to naturallysavvy.com for some these ideas. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is so much on this subject!  As the wife of an audiologist, I am not sure that using a tampon to clean your dog&#8217;s ears out is advisable.  My favourite is using it as a tinder! Anyways, just some useless or useful info. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few ideas my boys have not come up with yet (at least to my knowledge)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"211\" height=\"239\" src=\"http:\/\/livinglovingbreathingboys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Unknown.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4689\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/livinglovingbreathingboys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/flower_15.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4690\" srcset=\"http:\/\/livinglovingbreathingboys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/flower_15.jpg 300w, http:\/\/livinglovingbreathingboys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/flower_15-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are on Facebook with me, you have already seen this picture of Josh coping with a non-existent bleed.
