and drink plenty of water. I'm very healthy, too, but found my ankles and fingers getting swollen from typing/sitting all day. I even tried Diurex over the counter which is loaded with caffeine. I figure I would ger my caffeine from my iced tea or diet Coke before I take that.

Effexor works wonders for me...sm
I've been taking Effexor XR for years, and it's practically a miracle drug for me. I have chronic depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, and social anxiety disorder. Effexor pretty much "cures" all of these things for me. It was only prescribed to me for it's antidepressant effects, but it helps a great deal with the social anxiety disorder (and fatigue), which is a huge, huge plus. It hasn't caused me to gain or lose weight, so no problem there.
Now, Effexor was not the 1st antidepressant I tried. There were others that seemed to worked for me but the side effects (constant headache, stomache ache, drowsiness, insomnia or what have you) were too much to deal with. After trying many over the years, Effexor is the one that works the best for me.
I have heard that Effexor is awful to stop though, and I believe it. I take it at night because it makes me drowsy and if I ever forget to take it - woo boy! I wake up feeling practically like I have a hangover (very dizzy and groggy) and I have to take it right away. I've been taking it for years and I do worry about the long-term effects of it, but it helps me so much I don't know that I'll ever stop taking it.
Now ~Wellbutrin~ on the other hand, made me feel like I was going to die after just one dose! (See my post about in on the Mental Health board here.) I wouldn't take that again if my life depended on it.
So, everyone is different. It can be very long, tough process of trial and error finding the med. that works best for you, but it can make a big, positive difference in your life if you can find one that works well for you, whether you just take it for a little while or (like me) long-term.
I have done that for both of my children and it works wonders...

dunno why it happens so often. it's usually when I wake up, sometimes after a shower! ?? Sometimes 1 eye, sometimes both. Yeah, I look like Devil MT. It happens once every month or 2.
I go there frequently and would not stay in
the Flamingo. It is right downtown but a very old place, the smoke when you go into the casino is terrible, not as classy as I like. It might be cheap but then you get what you pay for. I love the Mirage, stayed at Treasure Island, very nice also, favorite though is the Bellagio, more expensive than most on the strip. Love the buffet at the Luxor. MGM might be alright and at the end of most of the strip but I would think ok as far as a place to stay.
avoidance is best however my suggestion would be to tan a little more frequently but to cut the leng

I can understand my daughter has to spot tan for the occasion because of sports uniform lines.
A lot of it has to do with your predisposition to burning. We do not burn easily. If your family is extremely fair or not accustomed to sun plan appropriately and ask your physician depending on the type of antibiotic treatment and strength it may not be a huge deal.
THIS IS JUST MY OPINION AND I DO SUGGEST YOU CHECK WITH YOUR DAUGHTERS PHYSICIAN BEFORE MAKING A FINAL DECISION.
Prunes will do wonders!
Good luck! 
I have to agree......I quit with Chantix also. It really does work wonders.....nm

they did a story on diamonds once and had some identifying mark or word etched on a diamond they were using. You could only see it with a microscope I think, or maybe a jeweler's loop, but interestingly the jewelers who were switching the diamonds out were not aware of the mark until it was shown to them.
3 minutes? LOL!! (nm)

What about the man with his theory of cancer? I think it's worth a try.
I use a TracFone. I pay only for the minutes I use. sm
I have a landline and DSL that costs me $70 a month. I need the landline for my computer. I am not too trusting of the Skype, Vonage, etc. You lose your power, you lose your phone.
That said, I use TracFone. It is probably one of the first ones made as I can't take pics, or 2-way, or do any of the fancy stuff. However, I have never had it let me down by not having any coverage and the calls are always clear as a bell. I would get another cell plan with more bells and whistles, but I just can't see being tied to a 2 year contract with hefty penalties for early termination.
TracFone also has some awesome deals on minutes, phones with lots of features, etc. The nice thing about a TracFone is that if you run out of minutes, you don't lose your phone number. And they also have coupon codes you can use to get extra minutes, or an extra phone, etc.

I caught about the last 15 or 20 minutes. Can't hardly
wait until next week. Maybe House and Cuddy will finally get together.
I have an elliptical machine, 30+ minutes a day...
on that and I have a Pilates machine, try at least 3 times a week on that for 45 minutes.
The last 15 minutes of Grey's Anatomy??
I missed the last 15 minutes of Grey's Anatomy last night and thought they would rerun it tonight like they usually do, but it wasn't on. So, will someone please let me know what happened? I turned to it to see Christina freaking out and Meredith cutting her wedding dress off of her, but I have no idea why this was happening! What happened to the wedding?? Thanks in advance!
I just saw a few minutes of her. It was such a struggle just to talk.

I live 45 minutes from Pittsburgh!
too bad we were not closer for a bike ride! I was just thinking I need to get acquainted with people that love biking and would love to stop for lunch and a cappuccino at a coffee shop on a chilly day! I live across from a great bike trail at a metropark and rode today for 1 hour. I plan on longer rides this weekend. it sure does beat sitting at a computer all day.

Put a rack in the bottom of the pan so the meat is not touching the liquid. Put about a cup or so of water in the bottom of the pain with some cut up onions and a little salt and pepper. Place the roast on the rack, fat side up. No need to cover the roast if you want a good crusty layer of fat on the meat. This also keeps the meat moist.
That is so sad...it actually happened about 15 minutes from my house...

Literally within 5 minutes of my post
the vet called. He knows this dog very very well. He feels that she is truely missing her mom and said that since she won't eat dog food and I am just going to have to give her people food. He said basically just set another place at the table. He gave me some suggestions on what to feed her and didn't want her just trying to exist on "snacks". We talked at lenght about her blood sugar and gave me his home number. He really is a wonderful vet, we take our animals to him so he is very familar with our family. I feel better now that I have talked to him. Thanks for the replies.
About 10 minutes away for me....I was a block away last night.

I was completely disguisted by this. At the end, they show that the 2nd wife leaves him and then the 1st wife divorces him and is now remarried. Just from what I saw, I would have cringed watching the first 45 minutes of the show.
I have a Tracfone and don't like wasting my minutes....
I have one of the original TracFones and my fingers are too fat to text. The keys are too close together, so I don't bother with texting. LOL.
That would be why I would need a full keyboard if I were to ever get a lap top. LOL.

person. Jessical Hahn, Amy Fisher, etc., known forever for their sexploitation and scandal. They all play the poor victim, troubled home life, drug abuse, no one loves me - wah wah, poor babies- but sure are smart enough to make a buck selling their stories, taking off their clothes for magazines and then pleading to be "left alone" and then want to be taken seriously. Prostitute, high class call girl, escort, whatever, you can dress the pig up, but it's still a pig!

I, myself, and VERY disappointed that it did not snow. I've been here 10 years and have been praying for snow!!! It's only 38 now and won't get much colder than this all week - high in the mid 40s or so. Congrats to your nephew!

These are still good! You know what happens to my sister's unused minutes?
She loses them
That is right, she loses them. My sister would love to have these milky minutes.

I love word games and double entendre, and creative use of the language, oddly drawn verbal conclusions and other oddities (hazard of my work?) so this one gets me smiling.

WW Works
I am a successful WW-er, having lost over 75 pounds. WW allows you to have all your favorites, but in a sensible fashion. There is no food category that is not allowed. That's the key for me. WW trains you in how to eat with healthier food choices and it is definitely a lifestyle change as regards food choices. Of course, as with any weight loss program, you cannot return to eating whatever you want in unlimited amounts once you have lost your weight. You must continue to take the tools you were taught and use them each and every day with your food selections. I would definitely recommend attending meetings, though, as accountability is always helpful in staying the course.
it works for me! LOL. (nm)
