up doing for the same reason. I talked to my insurance company and he made me promise that I would go to the ER and tell them that I was in a mentally critical condition. They did give me anti-depressants although it does take a while for the full affect. At least you'll have something on board in the meantime. You should also be able to go to your PCP and get the same results. Whatever you do, go see a doctor. Either your PCP or go to the ER. They do understand and will help.
You will continue to be in my prayers.

ended that too soon. More...
a dog up the road hated my 3/4 ton truck; turned out it was because he had been hit by an almost identical truck a few years before.
With all of my cats I have ended up
having to put them down because of pain and discomfort issues - was always scared I would be in your shoes at one point, and still may be - have 2 more now. I never could figure out which would be worst - making the decision or waiting. Hope it is the best it can be for both of you.
I ended up havng both
I first asked for a hysterectomy when I was 39 because of the suffering, but was told no due to my age.
Fast forward to age 43. I started missing a day of work every 17 days. Decided to have the NovaSure ablation. At first it was great. No products to buy! No missing work! But I still knew I was having a period because I would get emotional...not to the degree as before the procedure, but still depressed and irritable about every 17 days, plus I did continue to have low back pain and a bit of cramps. Over the next couple of years, I would spot on occasion.
At the end of the 2nd year, I started having extreme abdominal pain. Everyone thought it was GI related - irritable bowel syndrome. Nothing worked and finally the doctors stopped believing I was actually in pain...pain to the point I almost had to go on welfare because I couldn't work.
On my 3rd ER visit due to pain shooting down my legs from my pelvis, the ER doctor gave me a Medrol Dosepak, diagnosed me with neuropathy and referred me to a neurologist. The steroids reversed the ablation and I had the worst period I've ever experienced. Lesson here is never take steroids if you get the ablation. It wasn't in the literature of adverse reactions.
I decided to go back to my GYN who had told me to get the GI stuff straightened out first, but found she went out on an extended medical leave, so I went to another one in her building. Even with an ultrasound and examination, he said my uterus was enlarged, but not overly so.
After I had the hysterectomy, he told me my uterus had enlarged to such a large degree that it had been acting like a stopper for my GI system. I couldn't have BMs because the uterus was blocking the exit route. I spent 9 months in serious pain, bounced around from doctor to doctor, extremely frustrated not to know how to fix what was happening and not being believed, and gained 50 pounds from the hormones.
I am so glad I had the hysterectomy done. I feel great and I'm getting my life back.
Reading back over this, I sound like doomsday, don't I? LOL...I always get the extremes of everything in my life, so take my experience as aBnormal.
I saw a few attorneys and ended up sm
making up my own separation agreement, had an attorney look over it and he said it was fine. Attorney didn't want me to get the agreement, he wanted his $3K down and to drag it out in court for a year or so.

There WAS an emergency for me one Christmas Day..
I was cooking Christmas dinner for our family and my kitchen sink got completely clogged up. Apparently, garbage disposals can only handle so many peeled potato skins, which I did not know then. Husband tried plunging, son tried plunging. The only thing left to try was DrainO, which I did not have. Had my daughter go see if the grocery store was open (hoping, hoping, hoping that it was) and see if they had DrainO or similar brand, and to make sure it was safe for kitchens and garbage disposals.
As she left for the grocery, I was plotting Plan B - which would have been to finish making a delicious turkey dinner with all the trimmings by using a bathtub or the laundry tub. Of course, I could not put any garbage down those tubs.
The grocery WAS open. The Liquid Plumber DID work. My family and I did NOT have to eat a turkey that was washed and cleaned in a bathtub!
So, for me....Thank God for the grocery who is open on Christmas!!!
Emergency sick day!
HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS just arrived by UPS!
How am I going to work now???
(kidding of course)
search for *open-ended* MRI places
Open-ended MRI imaging centers is what you need to look for. We have plenty here where I live (Florida)...but MANY people cannot stand the long narrow tube to lay in for hour(s)....just like me! So, keep on searching for open-ended MRI centers!! *S*
My daughter had this problem, ended up she was using a shampoo
for oily hair that made her hair over-compensate for using the oily shampoo and it produced more oil, hence her having to wash her hair more often, try switching shampoos. I feel for you.
Ha, My shift ended at 6am, but we're on (perpetual) OT

I use only for emergency and quick calls. Pay $100 for yr.
a
I also use Tracfone as an emergency cell. sm
I use about 120 minutes every 3 months, average $10 a month. Occasionally out of my area I have to use double minutes, but I find it to be a great and uncomplicated service for my use. Have had it for a year. My DH also has one. He uses 400 minutes a month ($100), but he talks to everyone constantly. His choice.
Teen fashion emergency! :) SM
OK, please help if you can. My son and I are clueless when it comes to "cool" fashions. His friends sorta teased him today and said he is really uncool (uncool haircut, clothes, shoes). They jokingly said they were going to do an extreme makeover on him. I laughed at first, but then thought, "Hey! That's not half bad!" He is starting high school in the fall, and I would like to help him with a makeover this summer. He is a nice looking kid, just got his braces off (so has a really nice smile), a little bit on the husky side, but his clothes and shoes are Walmart specials. He is just a basic "boy" hair cut.
What is "cool" for boys? Where should we shop? What kind of haircut is cool for a 15-year-old boy? I'm so clueless!
Any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated!

Use of emergency contact info
You know how when you go to the dentist office, enroll your child in day care, fill out a job application, everyone wants contact information "in case of emergency." Maybe I'm different from everyone else, but I consider an emergency as defined by my falling to the floor clutching my chest while my lips turn blue and I can't talk, or falling down 5 flights of steps, or being hit by a car...you get the idea.
I no longer have a good relationship with my mother (75) because she is getting senile. I can't trust that anything she knows about me won't make the gossip curcuit as the truth or something totally different, plus she wants to die on her own property without anyone else another and be found days later by some unknown stranger who notices her body out in the yard...so I don't visit, either. Last time I visited, her whole face was black and blue because she had passed out and fallen face down on a concrete pad where she stayed until the next day when she was finally able to stand up and go inside, then hide from the world for almost a month...I happened to visit her within a week of it happening. I don't want to be the one who finds her dead on another visit.
The reason this is important is because of a legal situation that I am in totally unrelated to her and I have a gag order on me...and she can't talk to me without taking "no" for an answer when she quizzes me about it, which she will do every single time we talk. So, I've just had to say, have a nice life, love you, let instructions to my sister to call me if anyone needs me.
Now it comes back to those old applications I filled out. My phone number changed and my dentist used my mother's "emergency" contact information to try to reach me, going into great detail the nature of why they were calling. It was just my 6 months cleaning, but I didn't even schedule it because I was moving and changing jobs and couldn't predict if I could keep an appointment 6 months in the future. So my mother calls my ex-husband, my ex-mother-in-law, trying to reach me for this "emergency". My ex-hubby called me.
This is so embarrasing to me. If someone dies, let my sister call me. I don't know what to do or how else to get across to her that she doesn't have the right to interfere in my affairs. The dentist office made the first wrong, and her trying to "save" me was the next one. I'm almost 50 years old and I think I can take care of myself, thank you very much. I let the dentist office have it with both barrels. That was abuse of a reason to call my mother as an "emergency" and they have taken her info out of their system. I have even had to change physicians because my mother and I had the same primary care, and all my visits were relayed to her by the staff..."oh, your daughter looked so good when she was here last week!", which prompts a phone call to my ex-hubby. ARRRGH!! Violation of HIPAA!
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with this? I'm almost at the point of having a lawyer draft a letter to her. I'm past the point of feeling bad about hurting her feelings as she shows no consideration for mine. 
She can request emergency leave.
My husband is active duty Air Force, so I know a little bit about the military. As far as I know, she can request emergency leave because of the situation with her infant. Also, I do not think they just give military mom's a year off because they had a baby. I know several women that are active duty military that have had children, and they are given the same amount of maternity leave as a civilian.
Emergency Communications Dispatcher
cab driver must have been crazy!! :)
Being a 911 dispatcher was both my most exciting, stressful, fun, and worst job ive ever had so it definitely wins. Although I have really only had two jobs in my life, that and MT, so I mean... LOL.
In my town we worked both the fire and police radios, answered business calls as well as 911 calls. I liked working the fire side more because people were nicer. the 911 calls for fire/ambulance were much more likely to say "thank you" at the end rather than a hang up on you for the police side.
I have many stories about the calls we'd get and working police chases, on foot and car...
I've thought about going back to it now that Transcriptionist isn't what it used to be... and they can't outsource that job!
Give it a few days. They may be away, have an emergency, blizzard, etc. nm

Call the Humane Society or Emergency Vet
Tell them what happened, that the owners are not home, and you are afraid the dog is critically injured. They will then send someone to check on the dog and do what needs to be done.
As far as your neighbors being mad at you for hitting their dog, it is their responsibility to make sure their animals are safely confined. NOT taking a nap in the road.
Don't let the poor beastie suffer for their ignorance. Please call to see if the dog can be helped.
Mine has an emergency phone number to
call when things happen out of the office hours. THe recording at the office should say something about emergencies and what to do about them.
I've ended the cazillion dirty glasses in the sink every day problem...
My husband and I got tired of the kids coming to the kitchen a bunch of times during the day and each time grabbing a new glass to drink from - even after we asked them to pick a spot on the counter to keep their glass at and rinse it out/wash it after every use. Previously we'd end up with the dishwasher filled on the top level with glasses every day.
I went to Target and found different colored plastic tumblers. I bought a tumbler for everyone in the household. At supper time tonight I put all tumblers on the table and told everyone to pick their favorite color. After this was done they were all told this is now their color to use, and they're solely responsible for their tumbler each day, and are to rinse/wash it as needed throughout the day. I then went to the cabinets and proceeded to pack up all but 4 glasses we have in the cabinet - and those 4 I've moved to the very top shelf. They know that if their tumbler is found outside of the kitchen the problem is solved of "who left the glass on the living room table?" None will be allowed to wonder to bedrooms or they'll lose their tumbler and have nothing to drink from but a small juice glass. If we have company they can use the 4 glasses on the top shelf.
This should work and we'll no longer have dishpan hands!
What saved the folks on the edge was pulling up the emergency brake

Ended up taking her to stat care last night...not hand foot and mouth. sm
Ended up that she had an allergic reaction to a Chestnut tree that she had been playing on!!! She had a few on her toes because she had been wearing sandles and was climbing on a fallen tree. She was picking the leaves and "seeds" and picking them open. The oil from the tree gave her a reaction and caused the blisters to form. Thanks for asking...and thanks to all who answered my first post!
The room is about 12 x 16 (m)
and then there is a master bath off of it and a walkin closet. The floor has a light carpet kind of the color of oatmeal but it has different specks of neutral colors in it. I was thinking maybe darker colored furniture might look good with the light rug. It also has french doors with windows on either side and an arch window above that with a balcony overlooking a lake. The room gets a lot of light and the woodwork is white.
When I came out to the room they
were in, the 8-year-old was mouthing off the 11-year-old. I said "That's enough." He continued to mouth and my 11-year-old stopped. He then called his 11-year-old brother "A big fat wussy." I told him again to stop or he would be on timeout. My 11-year-old was walking away. My 8-year-old then started after him and pushed him as hard as he could. He's about the same size as my 11-year-old.
I don't tolerate the instigating on either end. But when I said to stop, it should have stopped. My 8-year-old refused to stop. He then escalated it to something physical, which is why he ended up on the chair. I've told my kids time-and-time again to tell me if someone's doing something to aggravate them and they won't stop after they've been told. They know that I will stop it and the one doing the picking will be punished.
I try very hard to dole out my punishments evenly, but in this case, he should have stopped when I told him to. I gave him 2 chances to stop and he still didn't. The pain he inflicted on my 11-year-old was enough punishment. He left a large red area on his thigh and up the side of his back from being pushed into the wall/table and landing on the floor.
my sin. here we go.. is there enough room?
I lie, I covet, I am jealous, I sometimes swear when I am alone, I have stolen when I was younger, I have anger and lash out, I am moody, I am materialistic, I feel hatred sometimes, I have used God's name in vein, I have had lustful thoughts.... the list goes on and on. I am a sinner.
But thankfully for me, what separates me from my sin is Jesus and his death. Since I took his gift of salvation, I am free of my sin. I can be forgiven, it doesnt all stay on top of me. I will be sinless when I stand before God. So everyone sins and telling someone they have sinned is not being judgmental because you are also a sinner. Being judgmental would be pointing out someone's sin and thinking you were better than they are. As Christians we are supposed to tell others about God and what he expects, his love, his rules and all of that. You dont just preach a message of love and tolerance or you are only giving half the story. There is no accountability in that.
I used to be school room Mom
There is a game where you put items in a paper bag like combs, hair things, rubberbands, paper clips, ect. The child is blindfolded or put the bag of goodies behind the back. Let the child reach into the bag and try to guess what he pulls out without looking. Decorating cupcakes is also fun. Take cupcakes or cookies to school and let the kids be creative. Around Xmas we did gingerbread type houses out of gram crackers and icing. Let them make valentine cards for a parent/friend out of paper and allow them to glue on glitter that sort of thing. Good luck!
Would there be room in your suitcase for me?
Because we have freezing rain/rain and it's gray, gloomy and depressing here. 
You might consider doing the living room
(or whatever the fanciest room is) in same color but with a special border tile worked in to set that room off.
Just a thought.
How big a room are we talking?
What color is the flooring?
You can add a second fan if there is room in your tower
That's what my husband did for both our computers, although I made him unhook one of mine because the two fans were so loud when the computer was on that I had a hard time transcribing.
Hopefully they have quieter fans now....
I am in the family room.
All I have is a desk and a filing cabinet, but I also use my desk to pay bills. The kids have their own computer on the other side of the room. I have all of my essentials. I cannot stand clutter though; so I'm constantly straightening things all day. I am the same with my computer desktop; I cannot stand a lot of windows open at once, so I only have open what I need. 
Just don't expect a luxurious room unless you are sm
willing to pay big bucks. Most hotel rooms in New York City are small. The assumption is that people don't spend much time in them, but are out and about. Plan on at least about $200 per night. Maybe a little less if you book far in advance.
I have watched enough court room TV
to know that if someone offers to store stuff for another person, they are obligated to make sure that it is properly taken care of. I remember one case where someone had taken the items that they offered to store and then put them in the hallway outside the unit when they got in an argument. Of course they were stolen! That is negligence. They offered to store them for her. They should have parked them with their own quads, as obviously they thought that was safer than near the street, geez.
I agree that it is sad to lose a relationship over $1700, but they were clearly negligent with her property. If her sister was any kind of a woman, she would have admitted it was her fault. I also think that if she would have just admitted it and said sorry that the OP would probably not have been as upset as she was. I have no doubt some of that resentment is due to the fact that they are taking no responsibility whatsoever.
I would stop sleeping in the same bed/room as him
Tell him that you can't stand the stench because it can't be good. Not taking care of/repairing your teeth is as bad as not taking a shower/practicing basic good hygeine. It's pretty gross.
You may have to shut them in a room while at night.
The claws are meant for protection if they were to happen to escape from your home. If clawless, they have no defense. We have trouble too with our cat clawing doorjams. I have found though if we close the doors at night, she doesn't do it as much. She is so spoiled though... I do not even practice what I preach, but if you have a spare bedroom maybe you could put them there while you sleep. Cats also like cardboard to scratch. Good luck. I feel your pain.
Same her with regard to messy room
My daughter can be a super slob at times. I ask her if she has someone living under her bed as there's so much stuff under there. LOL. She has to keep it vacuumed and dusted once a week also. As long as it's semi picked up, I have no problem with it.
take dog home with you; put cat in separate room for now.

Christian chat room
I would like to know if there are any Christian chat rooms for medical transcribers
over the internet, in a chat room
let's just say after we met he grew on me...
Internet Chat Room....
It was actually the screen name that initially caught my attention. It was the name of one of my favorite albums from a guitarist I admire. And the rest, as they say, is history
no room for logic when you are brainwashed.

Do you have a friend who has room in their freezer to help you out? nm
.
I keep mine in the laundry room also
I also have a fat kitty who LOVES to get in there and pretend he's at the beach. I keep a tiny dustpan and broom in there and probably sweep 3 times a day. Sometimes there will be a huge pile of cat litter. Considering he's an indoor kitty and can't seem to find anything else to do, I just let him be and ask him if he had fun!
I need room under the rock, I didn't know either.
no msg
Mine is in the front room
which is supposed to be I guess the "formal living room", but we never used it for that. I'm right next to two big windows so I can look out and see what's happening around me. My daugher's computer is right near mine so I can monitor her and my youngest daughter uses it for her playroom. I'm somewhat cluttered, but not overly so. Lot of pictures (my autograph collection), pens, scanner, steno book, dictionary. I've love to have doors put in, but I doubt that will ever happen.
Have you tried room-darkening blinds or curtains??
They work better than blankets.
I'm on quitnet for the support chat room.
I will check the others out. Thanks! :)
Poster said only 1 person in room knew who they were and
How do you know I am not?
Our pooch gets embarrassed and leaves the room, too! nm
s
I use middle rack unless large cut that needs more room.

You are saying imprisoned in a room without all their gadgets imprisonment?
Where in the world have you been? I put a grandchild (who lived with us for about 2-3 years) in a room completely by himself, no books, no television, no writing paper and it worked wonders for him. He was a very outdoorsy type person, it was summer, all the kids playing ball, riding bikes and it hurt him to the core. I did not resort to anything except just nothing. You gotta be outta your mind if you call that imprisonment. I call it an excellent way to solve a problem.
