Cathy, You can also visit their warehouse when you are in KC. It's a fun place to visit and smells so good. They also give you free samples of stuff. Emily Voth, the owner and creator, is a local Kansas City girl.
The movie that scared me the most when I was young (probably 8-9) was, "The Tingler." Anybody remember that one? William Castle movie with Vincent Price. They had the seats rigged in the theatre to buzz and vibrate when they showed 'the tingler.' It was all black and white until they showed any blood. Scared the living daylights out of me. Couldn't sleep for weeks. I've seen it in the last few years and it's pretty cheesy.
Years ago when my kids were little, Wally and his wife moved into a house two doors down from us, because he was in town doing a dinner playhouse gig. It used to crack me up to see him go down the street in his little VW.
I would say that now we just needed the Beaver to show up. And he did. He came and stayed there for awhile, too. We all got the biggest kick out of saying Wally and the Beav lived down the street.
I always wanted to say something to them, but was afraid I wouldn't be able to keep a straight face, so we would just watch them come and go. They moved out after a few months.
May I suggest a book by an herbalist in upstate NY named Susun Weed? It's called the 'Menopausal Years, the Wise Woman Way.'
Susun has researched and written about menopause from the perspective of the ancient female traditions and there is some very good and comforting information in her books. She explains a lot about why we cry so much and all the other symptoms we go through. It's not a disease, but a right of passage that we haven't been taught about. Our mothers and grandmothers didn't talk about it and suffered through, because women were labeled crazy and put away. This book can clear up a lot of the myths and really bring some clarity and peace. It also offers many herbal remedies that work.
I worked for Wild Oats for 5 years in the late 90's and we couldn't keep the book on the shelves. If you can't find it at Border's or Whole Foods, they can order it for you. Or you can go to her website and learn a lot: www.susunweed.com
I must say this woman is incredible. And I understand her position, she's trying to protect her children. But I still wish she hadn't let him off the hook. Hopefully behind closed doors it's not so comfy for him. There's much more to this story than meets the eye.
