I was responding to people blaming their parents or step-parents for not
teaching them about cleaning. I don't see it as needing a whole lot of
"teaching" -- it isn't that hard to learn IF someone wants to learn it. There
just isn't that much to it that would have to be taught by someone who is
more expert, is there? There might be -- I might not know it (and Sandra and
many others here have seen my house so I should say that I do know HOW to
clean a lot better than what it looks like - I really just don't like to take
the time). And there a b'zillions of household hints books and websites, etc.
They're sometimes fun.

I don't separate colors and whites - I separate new colors from everything
until they've been washed a few times so they won't bleed. After that - I
wash everything together unless it seems to be something particularly
delicate because I noticed there was a "delicate" setting on the washing
machine and figured that was what it was for. <g>

Don't feed her cheese - that is constipating for a lot of people.

Prune juice? If you make it icy cold it is good. Dates. Other dried fruits.
Gummy bears made with sorbitol (so I've heard). Cocoa.

Instant hot cocoa mix does it for me in the past few years. (Oversharing, I
know...)

ROFLOL! Its the hot water! <g> Many the time I've had a little old lady say
to me, "Nurse! Don't give me that pill, just fix me a cup of nice hot water
and I'll have my constitutional!" Did you ever notice that after a hot cup of
coffee you had to *go*? (if you drink coffee in the am that is.) Dar
mentioned the laxative magnesium citrate and it does work, (cheap too, less
than a dollar for a 10 oz bottle) IF you can stand to drink it! Imagine
sucking down a lemon coated in a ton of salt! UGGGGH! :ppp

About constipation and irregularity...how about bran cereal? (my kids like Fiber One and 100% Bran) You can also try oatmeal and add some oat bran (usually in the hot cereal section). You can also use these in other things...sprinkle on salad, ice cream, yogurt... Will she eat salad...good fiber here! Whole grain bread? Also, lots and lots of water! Good luck!

Well there's an idea!

Tea doesn't do it, though. I'm thinking it's something in the hot chocolate
mix that my gall bladder used to take care of and now that my gallbladder has
gone to rest before me, things are somewhat different.

Tea's better anyway. But I have sometimes consciously decided to use hot
chocolate in a medicinal way.

Really - it's just the hot water? I never knew that...

Over ice with a straw :-) I didn't think it was that salty, really, more
sour? Like very strong Squirt... although I only had a couple of tastes.

I don't know what it is about hot water, but it does stimulate the system. In
coffee and hot cocoa, its the combination of caffeine and hot water. Dr.
Pepper will do it too! <g> Its the prune juice!
