Bandaid over Bug BitesI searched how to cure itchy bug bites and tried some off the list (clean bite with rubbing alcohol, ointments, aloe vera) but those didn't work out for me. The first night wearing knee high socks worked and helped me not itch but I was getting warm at night.

Identifying Noritake China Pattern? - tea pot
Identifying Noritake China Pattern?These items form part of a set of china that my parents owned. There were also round and oval plates, and a gravy boat. There is only a backstamp, with no reference to pattern name or number. I identified from one website that this backstamp was used in 1963? But haven't been able to link the pattern through images I've seen. The closest I've seen is Royal Claret.
