Hint

A quick hint for everyone, I looked the answers up on the internet and got them all right. If you search for the answers you could learn stuff in the process. I learned all about treating my husbands poison ivy from that quiz and doing research on it. That is if you have time between making the camp goodies and scrapbooking or crafting and enjoying the outdoors, etc.
