Lorita it has probably been about 35years since I got rid of my TV.  Now and then, not often, play nature sounds off you tube for a little pleasant noise.

Zetta I take a piece of flannel approximately 21in x11in.  Sew it up on three sides,  then fill half full with rice.  Then tuck open end down around a quarter of an inch all the way around.  Sew it closed.  Making two seams side by side a good idea to make stronger.  Will depend on your microwave but I heat mine 3 to 3.5 minutes.  Put one on each side down toward lower part of bed.  Have done this for years.  

JoC I’m very sorry about your nephew also.

In my family, as a small child, I don't ever remember the men eating first, we all ate together.  Although if there was a big crowd, we children ate at a kid's table.  Perhaps that was a farm tradition--the men had to hurry to eat and get back into the fields.

Sayra, thanks for the DIY hot pad instructions.
