About the Authors
Elizabeth E. Brookes, affectionately EEB, is a group of God-fearing young ladies who are dedicated to sharing the Gospel whether it be through speaking, writing, or composing. Founding it together after the first sparks of pencils began to fly, Brooke Norris and Sarah Spradlin are the commanders-in-chief of operations. Both girls have been friends since their mothers met, quite by chance, in a voting-line on a hot and humid Georgian day when they were only two. Ever since, Brooke and Sarah have been inseparable as they have written books together as well as written music together. Regardless of what they do, each of these young ladies encourages the other in whatever they might happen to be doing. Brooke is a rising senior in High School with Sarah leading only narrowly as a rising college freshman. Go dawgs! Until the fall of 2013, they were also the only current members of the EEB Team, although they had been on the look out for more eager young hearts to share in the adventure. This search has landed them with Brenna Hay, a humorous and insane Junior from Minnesoooota. She is much the same as Brooke and Sarah when it comes to writing, although she does tend toward the stranger end of literature writing about zombies and robots. Brenna is a much welcome addition and Sarah and Brooke look forward to learning more about her as they all work together writing for Christ. When not writing or composing, these three can be found talking to one another, working on their enormous loads of school work, or reading.

You Guys Are Lame So Here’s a History of Band Aids
30 MarWell, all of you are lame except for Jessica– who is being promoted far up in the ranks of our little army unlike the rest of you. Good job, Jessica. You aren’t required to read though this history of Band Aids.
“Hello, EEB. Congratulations on the success of your blog! I hate to be a lame follower but… I would love it if you posted random, cool physics and maths on here. But to avoid being completely horrible, I’ll leave a real comment. EEB is truly an entertaining and inspiring site, and I love reading all of you authors’ book ideas and short stories. Everything you all post on here inspires me to continue in my own writing, and I thank you kindly for sharing your ideas and encouragement. Keep up your good work!” – Jessica
Jessica, you get a golden star. Not because you like the blog, but because you actually commented.
Jessica’s Gold Star Because She’s Awesome
Now for the history of Band-Aids (from Wikipedia):
“The Band-Aid was invented in 1920 by Johnson & Johnson employee Earle Dickson for his wife Josephine, who frequently cut and burned herself while cooking.[2] The prototype allowed her to dress her wounds without assistance. Dickson passed the idea on to his employer, which went on to produce and market the product as the Band-Aid. Dickson had a successful career at Johnson & Johnson, rising to vice president before his retirement in 1957.
The original Band-Aids were handmade and not very popular. By 1924, Johnson & Johnson introduced a machine that produced sterilized Band-Aids. In World War II, millions were shipped overseas, helping popularize the product.
In 1951, the first decorative Band-Aids were introduced. They continue to be a commercial success today, with such themes as Superman, Spider-Man, Hello Kitty, Rocket Power, Rugrats,smiley faces, Barbie, Dora the Explorer, and Batman and duck dynasty.
Related J&J products[edit]
Johnson & Johnson also manufactures Band-Aid liquid bandages, Scar Healing bandages, and Burn-Aid, burn gel-impregnated bandages. Their newest products include Active Flex bandages and waterproof Tough Strips.
To protect the name, their trademark, Johnson & Johnson always refers to its products as “Band-Aid brand”, not just Band-Aids.
Manufacturing facilities are located in Brazil, China and Denmark.”
Now, the next time you’re asked to comment, do it! Or I shall be forced to post the history behind hair-brushes. Don’t tempt me. I will do it.
