I seem to remember that Benadryl has been used as a sleeping pill. I might
be remembering wrong. But I do remember once, when I had to take all three
of my kids on an airplane *BY MYSELF* (they were 4 months, 2 , and 4 at teh
time) and their doctor told me to dope them up with kid cold medicine
before we took off, for my peace and the other passengers, I'm sure.
Stephen got airsick and puked all over, but other than that it was ok...
BTW, I don't recommend travelling with three preschoolers. See these white
hairs? Some of them appeared before they were teenagers!

I could _claim_ to be allergic to athol brose, but I'm really not and I
know it. I'm just allergic to making a fool of myself- and after eight
years, people still remember Mickey Mouse...

I'm finding this conversation intensely amusing. So, Avraham, what other
things make you doctors snicker at us foolish mortals? Do you have any
hamster stories? ;-D)

'Lainie
-still packing. Where are my black nylons?
