Oh, and when I shrieked, DH was sitting at the computer desk. He tried to get up so fast he banged his ankle, so now he's limping.

My son (26) has 2 sweet pet rats. I decided to get him a couple more for his birthday (it's the closest I'll come to grandchildren lol).
I stuck my hand in the cage (forgetting they were not my GOOD grandchildren) and one bit my index finger. It bled for hours and throbbed and ached for days. Working was horrible. Band-Aid made it worse because I couldn't feel the keys.
It is still kind of sore and this is going on a couple weeks now.
Don't worry about medically. I'm up-to-date on tetanus, etc., and I haven't died yet...
Didn't mean to laugh, but visualizing your DH cracked me up.

SAFE HAVEN LAW [2008-09-21]
Wow, this just blows me away. Last year or early this year a mother aged 17 or 18 gave birth to her 2nd child without parents or anyone for that matter knowing she was pregnant. She walked into an Omaha Hospital and left her child in a restroom and walked out. Please note at that time Nebraska was the ONLY state which did not have a safe haven law on the books. It was pushed through shortly after and is now a law FINALLY. Which is good because now mothers, who do not want to or cannot take care of their children have a safe place to take them without being in trouble for doing so.
Well, to myunderstanding this law (NE only), does not have an age limit as to how old the chid can be when dropped off at the hospital. Other states have it cut off at 14 but none have ever seen a child OVER 3. This information came from a radio show about the new law yesterday. Since the law was put in place a mother dropped off an 11 year old, a different family dropped off a 9 year old and this mornings news has the following

Girl, 13, Abandoned At Omaha Hospital
State Takes Custody Of Teen Under Safe Haven Law
POSTED: 5:13 pm CDT September 20, 2008
UPDATED: 5:23 pm CDT September 20, 2008
OMAHA, Neb. -- The state has taken temporary custody of a teenage girl who was dropped off at an Omaha hospital Saturday under Nebraska's new safe haven law.
A representative from the state Department of Health and Human Services said the girl, 13, was left at Immanuel Hospital around midday. No other details were released.
The girl was the third child dropped off at Nebraska hospitals in the past week.

The state's safe haven law took effect in July and allows parents to abandon children at hospitals and other locations. The law does not set a minimum age after which a child can't be left without prosecution.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I agree with the law all the way. I am just concerned about the after shock of having an older child dropped off at the ages stated above, what kind of damage is that doing to the child? I do not agree with child abuse and know that older children are abused all the time but is there not another way we could deal with this?
Just wondering what everyone else was thinking.

Is College Worth It? [2008-09-08]
As parents pack their youngsters off to college, they might ask themselves whether itAmerica
The U.S. Department of Education statistics show that 76 out of 100 students who graduate in the bottom 40 percent of their high school class do not graduate from college, even if they spend eight and a half years in college. That's even with colleges having dumbed down classes to accommodate such students. Only 23 percent of the 1.3 million students who took the ACT college entrance examinations in 2007 were prepared to do college-level study in math, English and science. Even though a majority of students are grossly under-prepared to do college-level work, each year colleges admit hundreds of thousands of such students.
While colleges have strong financial motives to admit unsuccessful students, for failing students the experience can be devastating. They often leave with their families, or themselves, having piled up thousands of dollars in debt. There is possibly trauma and poor self-esteem for having failed, and perhaps embarrassment for their families. Dr. Nemko says that worst of all is that few of these former college students, having spent thousands of dollars, wind up in a job that required a college education. It's not uncommon to find them driving a taxi, working at a restaurant or department store, performing some other job that they could have had as a high school graduate or dropout.
What about students who are prepared for college? First, only 40 percent of each year 45 percent never graduate at all. Often, having a college degree does not mean much. According to a 2006 Pew Charitable Trusts study, 50 percent of college seniors failed a test that required them to interpret a table about exercise and blood pressure, understand the arguments of newspaper editorials, and compare credit card offers. About 20 percent of college seniors did not have the quantitative skills to estimate if their car had enough gas to get to the gas station. According a recent National Assessment of Adult Literacy, the percentage of college graduates proficient in prose literacy has declined from 40 percent to 31 percent within the past decade. Employers report that many college graduates lack the basic skills of critical thinking, writing and problem-solving.
Colleges are in business. Students are a cost. Research is a profit center. When colleges boast about having this professor who has won a science award or that professor who has won the Nobel Prize, very often an undergraduate student will never be taught by that professor. It is a bait and switch tactic and very often your youngster will take classes not taught by a professor but taught in large classes by a graduate student. Faculty who bring in large grants are more highly valued than faculty who teach well. Teaching excellence is so often undervalued that the late Ernest Boyer, vice president for Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, quipped that, Winning the campus teaching award is the kiss of death when it comes to tenure.
Parents and taxpayers cough up billions upon billions of dollars to the nationbait and switch, confer fraudulent degrees and engage in other practices that would bring legal sanctions if done by any other business. There is little or no oversight of the nationChoosing the Right College (http://isi.org/college_guide/choosing_right_college.html).

Credit Card Debt Counseling [2008-08-21]
http://www.cccsatl.org/index.asp?_method=viewsc=43cn=486md=debtmanagement
Here It is called Consumer Credit Counseling Services. They are legit. Now back when hubs and I did it about 15 years ago, there were no computers, per se, so we went on site to an office. I don
We did it, completed it, and it was great. However, they cut your credit cards up in front of you and put them in a huge jar (at least they did back then). Once you join, there are no more credit cards. What CCCS does is works with your creditors to reduce interest rates, payment size, etc. because they are networked. You then make one lump payment to CCCS and they disburse the money. They also take into consideration your income. I think that Also, this is what tells them how long it will take to pay off the debt. Just beware though that if you are behind on payments, sometimes certain creditors do not accept CCCS, so they may hassle you still and some just plain won
Believe me, even though we are not late on payments, we had in the past 3 years so much personal stuff go on (sickness, death, etc.) that we have racked up some debt ourselves and may try CCCS again, as one card we have raised the rate to 33% interest because we have a high balance. We make regular payments.
All in all, itbad mark but yet a good mark on your credit report for using CCCS. Check with them about that though, as I do not know the specifics. It is way better than bankruptcy...
Hope you find some relief soon! My thoughts are with you... I

My sister [2008-08-09]
has PMDD, and she takes Prozac with great success. I believe I just have PMS, but Prozac is not a good drug for me because of the side effect of apathy I get. If you take it and find yourself wading through dirty laundry, you'll know what I mean, LOL. I'm dealing with perimenopause, so I tried a soy-based estrogen-like product. It helped some, but then I changed to one that contained black cohosh. Wow, did I feel great. No PMS at all. Unfortunately, I lost my appetite and have stomach discomfort and dropped a significant amount of weight while taking it.
This site promotes it:
http://www.connecticutcenterforhealth.com/black-cohosh.html
However, I also read a site that said it could cause GI trouble and even a liver condition, so I quit the black cohosh a week or two ago. My appetite and weight are still not improving much. I'm 5ƌ and my weight is fluctuating between 118 and 120 now. I can do physical activity fine, but yet I'm having a feeling of low energy in my chest area and the stomach discomfort continues. I just had a bunch of lab work, which was all normal. Really weird.
Okay here are the rumours LOL, sorry for the spelling [2008-07-25]
I did read in one of the soap mags (no longer buy them, just read them while in line at the grocery store) that Sabrina is definitely leaving the show. I also read elsewhere that it is rumored Sabrina and the baby will die in a car accident. Well, of course if Sabrina dies so will the baby. Anyway, I think Heather may get herself in danger with Walter since she is starting to connect him to David and Ji Min. It has shown in flashbacks that David killed Ji Min. Don't know why yet. He has ties with the mob and Walter is getting him to do the dirty work. Do you ever go to Soap City on the net? Here is the website.

My female maltese [2008-07-10]
is 10 now and developed this problem a couple of years ago. It was not just at night, but anytime she was asleep, napping in my lap or asleep on my pillow snuggled next to my head (not a good way to wake up btw). It seemed to come as a complete surprise to her, as she woke up during or immediately after urinating, not before. All of her labs were normal, the only explanation was that it was a hormonal imbalance that occasionally occurs in older female dogs that were spayed at a very early age. As nearly asI coulddetermine from the records I got from the lady I got her from was that she was about 3-4 months old when she was spayed. Since dogs can also have unwanted side effects from hormone replacement she was placed on antihistamines which resolved the problem for the most part, but she still gets the late night trip right before bedtime. Since your dog just started this late in life it may not be from the same thing, but it couldn Here is a link to Merck Veterinary Manual online edition page that describes the condition (you may have to cut and paste).

No, I'm totally thinking getting back into exercising - sm [2008-07-07]
- Mountain bikes are easier to ride and more balanced than other bikes. Wider tires, wider handlebars, more upright position.
- It's not like shifting gears in a car. Nowadays they have smooth-shifting index shifters and just pedal, and push the button to whichever one you want.
- Unless you live where it's absolutely, perfectly level, you will encounter at least SOME kind of a slope. To an unfit person, or anyone on a bike with not much gearing, even the slighest slope (or even riding upwind on level ground) can be daunting. More gears equals easier ride.
- If a person REALLY doesnEasy Rider or (?), that do the shifting for you. All you do is pedal and steer. Still, I can think of nothing that will turn a person off to exercising and bike riding in the beginning like a heavy, clunky, one-speed bike.
- Regarding trails, IRails-To-Trails paths which follow old railroad beds. Most are linear, level, and great places for beginners to ride.
Quit being so judgemental about what was 100% meant as a helpful post. You might go out an learn something about bikes, too, before you go calling people nuts for trying to help.

False Information- TAIB (Maine) is not associated with Synthescribe in any way! [2008-05-28]
just wanted to (hopefully) clear something up. Although I know this is an older post, I am sure that I am not the only Transcriptionist who searches the archives when deciding on whether to apply/interview with a company.
I spoke to Penny Jackson Pray, President/Owner of Transcription at its Best, Inc. in Maine. I asked Ms. Jackson Pray about these references, and she is adamant that she is not, nor has she ever been, associated or affiliated in any way with any other transcription company, including Synthescribe.
It's very important that, when we're making these postings, we are as specific and thorough (educated) as possible, as - in this case - a company's reputation has been unfairly tarnished.
After speaking with Penny, I truly believe that TAIB is a well-run, stable, US-based company that does not offshore.
Ms. Jackson Pray has previously made this posting, although it posted separately from this thread and may be easily overlooked:
Please note that my company Transcription At Its Best, Inc. is not associated with any other company with this name. This is the recent posting to which I refer --
Please run from this company. This is really an undercover name for Synthescribe, which operates out of TN. They will hire you and fire all their employees without notice. If you want a stable job, don't even waste your time with them. You will only be disappointed.
AGAIN THIS IS NOT TAIB in MAINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thank you Penny Jackson Pray - Owner/President
(http://forum.mtstars.com/seeker/v/1/6301.html)
Again, I just ask that we (posters) be a little more careful and thorough in our descriptions before we slam companies; and also that, as job seekers, we make our own educated, informed decisions- based on our own research.
I have been offered a position with this company and, should I accept it, I will follow up with my experiences.
