Water Damage

I have a problem with water damage. I had a restoration man out and we found the problem of a clogged out door drain. The drain has dirt that got in there from the mudslide that resulted from the last heavy rain. That area has been gathering water and getting up to a level that has been getting into the house. There is smell in the area what to me smells like mold.

Take Care of Your Mouth!

Make sure you floss, my Dentist told me a patient of his leaves a string of floss out and so she can just grab it and get any food particles that could get stuck in there, out that may cause you problems later. You don't want ANY cavities!
Did you know what the perforated bumps on the back of a toothbrush are for? Cool design? To feel good against you gums? No! They put them there so people can brush your tongue! I had been brushing my tongue with the toothbrush part for years until I recent read the package on a new toothbrush. I have a feeling my toothbrushes are going last a lot longer now.


Bacteria can live on your tongue and give you sore throat and worse, bad breath!! There are no pictures that I could find on the web where it allows you to demonstrate the back of the toothbrushing on the tongue activity!!

Water Damage Sent Me To A Hotel


After the last rain the backyard brick at my house was really looking dark and green. It was recommend by some friends that I buy "Oxy Mold Killer" and sprayed the brick down then spray it with the hose.

At the same time I was having some water that would not drain in an area by the dining room. I thought it was that the roof drains were just leaving more water than the average place. But I found the drain in the ground was clogged full of dirt from the rain. A few months ago, in the house near that same area, we found a bad area with mold growth. We cleaned it up but it didn't occur to me that it could be spreading on the other side of the wall!! $&#@!~

A few days ago I could smell a horrible mildew scent. I looked online for a mold specialist and found Alladin Restoration Services. They came out the next day and told me I would have to have test done to find out what kind of mold it was. He gave the name of a mold specialist Jed Myers and today he came to inspect the affected areas.

There were four area altogether that he tested:
  1. Ceiling above the stove (Although the ceiling is visible damage, the area is dry.)
  2. Near the dining room sliding glass window, dry rot, still damp.
  3. Area over drums in the dining room
  4. Test outside by the bricks, since it is looking bad
1) Living Room (swal)
2) Family Room (air)
3) Family Room (air)
4) Outside (air)

  1. 24hrs turn around to see if the mold is toxic. The areas are not look too serious but could become if not taken if put off too long.
Total expensive $769 to test air.

So I've been at two hotels trying to figure this out. I've been meeting people during the day and working in the yard but just not staying over night with the questionable air. I heard that this can get you really sick and I do not want that.

Return of the Sore Throat

While I've finished all my anti-biotics it feels as though the sore throat might be creeping back.
Oh well back to the Doctor!

Ricola Lozenger


My throat was very dry andI needed to lubricate the bottom of my throat where the Larynx and Trachea meet.

For my sore throat I was using Cepacol but they were larger, tasted terrible and didn't seem to work very well. Someone recommended me these Ricola and they really seem to work. They seem to be jus the right size and the taste great without a strong medicine.
