Dried Parsley tea?

[flubbles.livejournal.com]

crossposted, sorry!

Hi!

I have this GIGANTIC container of dried parsley that my mother gave me from Sam's Club. I would like to make some tea with it if I can, but I've heard that you can't use the same proportions with dried herbs as with fresh....

Has anyone made tea with dry parley? I'm curious about how much to use.

And yes, I'm trying to stimulate my period for this month, I'm 4 days late, and no, I'm not pregnant.

Thanks for any help

gyno or md?

ok. my last pap was my first with a new doctor after offically moving to kansas. he was awesome.
but now that pap time is creeping up on me again, i have an md that i've seen about my migraines. i was thinking it would be a good idea to go to her for everything (if she does paps, that is). that way she already knows what meds i'm on, what the results of all the tests are and all that fun shite.
but i'm one of those people that likes to get other people's opinions before i do anything.
a.) good idea
b.) bad idea
c.) i couldn't care less

Hi, I'm in Senior Sem (Maclean/Zack) and I lost the packet about the project.

im doing the election page thing, so that takes care of half of it. *but*, i still need the questions we're supposed to answer off of a third-party candidate's website...


so if someone could give me those questions, i'd really appreciate it. thanks!
