Sue. Very Touching

Very touching what you said too. I now feel great even after all the problems i have endured and i realize it is just to show the soft spots of sensitivity on humans. Thanks.

Very Cute

Thank you, that was so tender and sweetly presented!
Your advice is well-worth remembering.
Now some practical advice from an herbalist:

Even a wet teabag, or cool, regular tea will reduce the pain of burns.
Always keep a medicinal aloe in the house; its perfect juice even says "jews" in natural yiddish, and half a leaf will remove burn and sting pain entirely for half an hour, when held against the burn.
Failing this, keeping a comrehensive first aid kit is requisite for any household- ordinary calamine lotion or a good tube of Ozonol for burns will help you out.
