I guess “Old Time” depends on how old you are, but young and old have their personal favorites and the Old Time Candy Company is a great place to do your candy “research.”

I sent a 1950′s focus candy box to my Mom for her birthday this year. That was in June. She was still enjoying last week – in August. (A package sent to myself would no doubt not have lasted quite that long!)

Not only was my Mom very pleased with the selection, but the Old Time Candy Company actually called me to ask if I’d like to add a cool-pack to the package. Since the ’50s box had a fair amount of chocolate and was being shipped on a very hot week – had they not contacted me about adding the cool-pack, the gift may have been a total disaster.

I can not remember the last time any company called me about a purchase and I highly recommend the Old Time Candy Company for gift purchases or for a little treat for yourself. Atomic fireballs, Root beer barrels, B-B Bats, Pez – you remember it – they’ve got it!

As I mentioned a day or two ago, I was viciously attacked by a marauding band of chiggers – probably Monday, June 7th while I worked in the yard for the morning. Per their usual MO, the itching started mid-day Tuesday and even though I fought the compelling need to scratch – the itching and biting continued. This is the worst thing about chiggers…once they are on you, they spread and continue biting until you find something to kill them.

Tuesday PM and Wednesday morning I covered myself with the Neem Outdoor Botanical product referenced in my prior post.

By yesterday I had no new bites and the itching was at a bearable level. This morning, Friday, I have no new bites and the itching has stopped completely.

Anyone who has never experienced chiggers will wonder why the heck I am making such a big deal of this. Anyone who has suffered with chiggers will already know.

So, if you’ve been told to cover the bites with nail polish or to soak yourself in Clorox, or been told to apply any other strange concoction of chemicals and household products, forget it. Use Neem…it is even good for your skin while doing an excellent job of killing chiggers.

Here’s the image again with a reminder that Neem Tree Farms has a “Buy One Get One Free” offer on tap right now. Drop a bottle or two of the Botanical Outdoor Gel in your backpack or suitcase. It is good as an insect repellant for a lot of things other than chiggers too! And it actually has a pleasant aroma…
