No lies, just secrets. Deep secrets. Secret secrets. Hope I dont have to kill you afterwards
Secret 1: Our secret email sent out today is here for you to read. What? You dont get our regular email? You should subscribe!
Secret 2: Our secret website that contains our family’s adventures and some horrible photos of me. Its here at Jonesberries.com. Its a fun blog that my kids run. Abigail (14) is the webmaster and its a great way to follow our family’s adventures without me trying to turn every experience into a lesson.
Secret 3: The secret map that contains our travel plans for the next year. We hope to be in about 25 countries by August 2010. Shoot me an email if we are coming to a city near you.
Secret 4: I have a bit of athletes foot under my right toenail that I have been struggling with for many years. I have taken medication from doctors and once stayed on that medication for 18 bloody months and still it came back. Very persistant, this athletes foot of mine! Many years ago, Lisa Seay in Houston told me I should pee on it to get rid of it. Maybe I will try that.
You probably didn’t want to hear Secret number 4. Sorry.
LOL! Great secrets you have–especially the last one. I pray you all will have a safe journey.
Secret #4: try white vinegar. Worked for me. Smells just as bad as your method, though.
You are welcome to make a de-tour to Berlin….! Always!
We could celebrate my new space for friends and guests (not always the same, but both welcome)- IF I get it!
Yeah. I would also vote for Berlin.
BTW: We met at Greenbelt and the “Emergent Evening” on the Thursday before.
Would love to have a longer conversation! — maybe in Berlin?
Andrew – I vote for the white vinegar unless you really enjoy peeing on yourself.
Hope to connect with you in Europe as I will be in the area during some of your journey.
#4 – keep it dry (no shoe(s) or sock(s) or at least a toehole) as much as possible, wash it with tea tree oil (and dry it directly afterwards). there are a lot of home remedies but if it’s not an anti-fungal like tea trea oil, it’s not much help.
passing through belgium again??
Soak it in full strength Tea Tree Oil until it is gone.
Thought I had added a comment before but maybe I hadn’t clicked the right buttons, sure there is a message in that somewhere. Anyway we are in Latvia and have space to park a van, 60 miles East of Riga.
Thanks. I have an invitation from the baptist in LAtvia and this is an important country on our journey.
Secret #4 just took me out. I mean “out.”
actually the pee thing is true and a good idea!!!Also if you get real desperate you can drink the pee!!! No joke!!! of course don’t tell a soul you are doing it…. just know it is a VERY popular ayurvedic remedy for a myriad of ailments!!! Like lots of things people are STUPID and AFRAID!!! anyhow!!! just wanted to chime in on that one Andrew!!!
urine therapy…. your body’s own medicine!!!
its nice not needing credibility at times like these!!!
love to you all…. and praying fervently for you all!!!
Andrew – should you choose to follow Whitney’s advice PLEASE don’t tell us. I don’t want images of you drinking urine in my mind.
Good luck though on finding a way to rid yourself of foot fungus.
Would be interested to know what your thoughts are regarding Latvia. Having arrived here after a 9 year journey started by a guy called Martin Scott after a prophecy about travelling.
thats funny. Martin Scott’s words were influential in us going up to Orkney many years ago.
hey it looks like your coming by Denmark and Copenhagen, it could be cool to do some stuff with you in Copenhagen or somewhere else in Denmark
Regarding secret number four, have you seen this:
