Rosie O'Donnell should be REPRIMANDED! (Better?) :)

The best way to keep diaper rash away is to change the friggin' diaper. Often.

Rosie O'Donnell should be REPRIMANDED!  (Better?) 

The original title would have generated more traffic.  ;D

EDIT- how about SPANKED instead of reprimanded?

We definitely need to go with spanked.

Actually, "spanked" was my first thought!  I figured it would set a few off, so I went with something less controversial.

thentavius,
I agree there are a LOT better ways to rid one's baby of diaper rash other than Rosie's suggestion.

Now, as far as ear infections... there is NOTHING over the counter a person can purchase.  It is the doctor, pee, or nothing.  Who is game?

I'll speak up as the in-house nurse here . . .

You are all fucking insane.

Is that your final answer? 

[Jen]

Yep.

There are many homoepathic remedies for chronic ear infections that don't involve leaning over a child with a full bladder . . . wolfsbane, pulsatilla, and aconite.  In addition, there's the good old antibiotics from the MD. 

The problem with these kinds of studies is that they deal with *sterile* urine.  Guess what, urine doesn't stay sterile in the real world for very long at all - often it quickly becomes a medium for the very germs we are trying to kill.

Whether it was in jest, or in seriousness, I consider Rosie's comments to be irresponsible.  Leave the medical talk to the medical people, not to the comedians.

I agree completely! 

Gosh.  Leave to fix/eat dinner for an hour, and miss all the fun! 

[Jen]

Yummm, dinner, what didya cook me?

[Vivian]

That's crazy.  Whether you're talking about the diaper rash or the ear infections it's all about insanity.  Even being a neighbor to a holistic healer I still haven't heard of urinating in someone's ear.  I would think that would be the cure if you were so poor you couldn't pay attention!  That's the kind of cure that necessitates a protective services consultation.  Who financed these studies anyways??

"What's for dinner? ...she asks...

Tough, dry, center-cut loin pork chops, with gooey, damp crust.  Baked red taters, cooked to perfection ala black leather on the bottom, slightly raw in the center.  Blackened cornmeal-fried zucchini sauteed on overly hot grill, enhanced by the aroma of corn oil smoke.  Massive wind, rain & hail storm for ambiance.  2 rolaids for dessert.  Very romantic dinner!  >

The fresh, scrumptious, garden-grown tomatoes were WONDERFUL !!
