We don't drink here, but cough medicine you buy often has alcohol in it.

With that said, the cough syrup would let everyone sleep at night. Better than dissolving hard candy in Jack Daniels ( one of my family's "cures").Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-36275731837956452792014-09-23T05:30:27.388-07:002014-09-23T05:30:27.388-07:00Hi Paintedmoose

Most of the time I haven't even had any smoke from it. <br />In some ways we have an even bigger problem hereabouts - drought drying up water wells.<br />BUT - we adapt, improvise, & overcome (or perish) I prefer the former..<br />Thanks for your concern.<br />Semper Fi.<br />Hangtown FrankAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-89418209412714540482014-09-22T16:55:23.151-07:002014-09-22T16:55:23.151-07:00Hangtown Frank,

There were residuals left in the sheets even after a very thorough rinse cycle.<br />The problem went away when we changed what we were using.<br /><br />I heard that some anti-static cling products can cause the same problem.<br /><br />Hangtown FrankAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-9687918520399898602014-09-21T15:53:13.279-07:002014-09-21T15:53:13.279-07:00Thank you for the clarification.
