Graphic compared to the stuff we type every day??

Posted By: CrankyBeach on 2009-05-21
In Reply to: I hope this isn't too graphic but sm - abdominal problems

NOT!

Is it possible you've become more lactose-intolerant over the years? You could always give some of those OTC products a try; the names escape me right now. I developed a (thankfully short) bout of lactose intolerance once after a bad case of the stomach flu....

Other than that, just getting up and moving around a little more often might help.

And depending on whether the gas is upper or lower... when I have upper gas and indigestion, my favorite remedy is to sip ginger allergy and pace the floor. Those measures seem to help me burp which then make me feel better.

Good luck and I hope YOU feel better!

Do you get dressed to work or stay in PJ type of stuff? Sometimes that

I type this stuff all day long and I totally agree sm
that you need to get him into see another counselor - and it may be time for a medication to help with the anger outbursts. Med and therapy go hand in hand with this - ask for an immediate appointment - this is kind of a crisis sitution really when younger siblings are being hurt - it trickles down and you don't want them to have problems also. Best of luck!
But obesity IS life-threatening. I type lots of that stuff -
and for the most part the psych. evaluation is more to be sure the person has not only the desire for the operation, but the support in place to help them through the difficult time afterward. It's not a walk in the park, not only is it major surgery, but there are lots of eating problems afterward. Too much food, or too much fatty or other hard-to-digest food, and they can become quite ill. They also have to begin a diet and lose a certain percentage of their weight before they get okayed for surgery. I think in part to make them safer to operate on, but also to begin to change their eating habits. After the gastric bypass, one still has to watch what they eat so as not to regain weight. But of course the bypass helps with how much they eat - because the stomach is a lot smaller. Still, if all the requirements are in place, I think for many people GP is much preferable to dying of other diseases caused by obesity. It also can make it possible for them to exercise and build up their cardiovascular system, further improving their health.
I hope this isn't too graphic but sm
does anyone here suffer from any abdominal problems that are related to sitting for long periods?  Lately I have had all this bloating and gas and it feels like  sometimes my abdominal is really tight.  The longer I sit, the more uncomfortable it gets.  Doesn't really hurt, just feels really full and distended.  When I get up and move around or take a day off, it gets better but comes back when I sit for a long time. Lots of constipation too. Its driving me nuts!  Feels like I am going to explode sometimes.  Anybody got any ideas?  I do have some GI problems i.e. chronic pancreatitis so I know that could be part of it.  But I have had that for about 12 years and this just started a few months ago and got worse when I went back to work, just from the sitting for long periods.
Yeh, pretty graphic now
NM
There is a link to that video somewhere on the net. Quite graphic.
nm
Graphic? ROTFL! Not, but sounds like IBS...sm
...and your pancreatitis. But that's just a WAEG. Best get to a doctor and hopefully get a definitive diagnosis! Your condition must be the miseries!
and how can it really be compared...
There is no objective basis for rating sex that one is not having, so a child that is circumcised and birth and a child who is uncircumcised cannot possibly compare whether or not the experience is "enhanced" or not. Should a man be circumcised at an adult age, it is possible that he just believes it is not as good, just like the placebo effect in drug trials. Also, maybe it is better for it not to be as good for the man. He will last longer that way. At any rate, I don't believe it is child abuse any more than I believe that calves should be anesthetized for castration. The anesthesia risks far outweight the benefits and I know that when my son was circumcised, he was not even crying when they brought him back 10 minutes later. It couldn't have been that bad.
My feathered BRAT -- might be kinda graphic but funny too

Sitting here trying to post and work all day, with Tooki (AKA as MS Paris Hilton BOID) -- routine is AHH mom is out of bed -- " I can SCREAM for attention"  -- this is while "mom" is in the bathroom being female etc, getting water for coffee  -- k -- coffee on, outside for first cig (for mom) of the day, boid on shoulder, LARGE POOP on pavement, table or tree (sorry)  -- after that, its treats and cuddle on moms shoulder for about 30 minutes. 


We then come back in the house and mom does her computer clean up which is daily  -- getting coffee ready and at this point, Tooki is trying to climb on the bed, then up on the headboard, and last trick if the blinds aren't open, we try to climb up them and chew them up in the process.


Mommy and daddy bought me a swinging perch from Santa Bird, but I HATED it in my cage, so what daddy did, was take my perch and put it in the door and with the perch in the door chain, I will climb on the perch, then the door chain and the front door. 


My favorite thing though is to be in the tree right outside my door, and I have a "wild bird bud -- I think he is a blue jay and my "mom" says he's  NOT my type -- I'm a sun conure after all, but with the cold weather here in Florida, mommy tries to make sure all of my "buds" are taken care of.


I know one thing, -- IM ALL GOIL and spoiled rotten!!!!


Love Tooki


 


 


 


 


of course! but compared to my 1/2 bunions, to me they are pretty LOL nm

It's still pretty cheap compared to other sm
countries! Look at the price of diesel and fuel - that impacts the USPS as much as it does all of us.

It's only a penny.
Love Verizon compared to the others.

Had T-Mobile in the past and my sister has Sprint.  Definitely like Verizon the best.  Good service.  Doesn't seem to drop calls as much (still does every once in a while, but not often).  I live in a rural area and can get service in places other people can't and that T-Mobile wouldn't work in.


 


I used to not like Paula, but compared to Cara,
I love Paula. I hope they get rid of that new judge before the next season... Ugh.
I put *warning, graphic* in the subject field, but apparently it didn't show up. nm

Type 1 requires insulin, type 2 does not - sm
that is the basic difference. Type 2 can be controlled by diet changes and/or medication (pills). My MIL has type 2 which runs in her family, no one is obese either. She controls it with diet and medication. Your dermatologist I think is wrong. Doesn't your husband know which type he has?
improved greatly in 2007 compared to 1990s...
it's not glass anymore - it's plates that are not ice cold and they don't squeeze as badly as they did back in the earlier days.  Takes a few seconds only and 4 views.  Piece of cake....also have been getting them nearly yearly for 15+ years......
I guess Walter is pretty passive compared to your guy! Gets you going though, doesn't it? nm

And dealing with the kids is piece of cake compared to dealing
jk
I would type

MEDICATIONS: Zocor and Ambien.

OR

MEDICATIONS
1. Zocor
2. Ambien

And

DIAGNOSES: Hypertension and chronic heart failure.

OR

DIAGNOSES
1. Hypertension.
2. Chronic heart failure.


Depending on which looked better in relation to the rest of the report. But that's just me. :-)
Not my type either..
I do like the scruffier male type image - kind of like that actor who plays "House"
Always. I can't type without it. nm

I had to type it in...
the address bar but could not find the Pantene link to click on.
It's 3 a.m. to type or not to type

Need some ideas about insomnia.  Don't want to take those sleeping pills. I used to begin work at 3 a.m. and worked split.  But, recently changed to day because I found if I got a good night's sleep my line count and disposition was better.  Lucky to get day because it takes a lot of years usually to get it.  But, now I find myself up at 3 anyway and for the last 2 hours have been surfing the net, mostly here and e bay.  I know that if I typed some now I would be no good during the day and not get my usually good line count during the day that I usually get.  BTW: Today is my day off, but I still plan to work and obviously hyper because I can't sleep now.  Any suggestions on how to get off this overnight shift pattern? Been doing this insomnia overnight thing for about 2 years, and I like the quiet (3 kids and a husband) in the middle of the night, but worn out.


Please suggestions for an insomnia. And forget the warm milk, please YUK LOL. Thanks for your help. Maybe with your suggestions in a week or so I can get off this 3 a.m. pattern. TIA.


 


If you don't type why are you here?
Just leave!!!!!!
anybody out there ever type

What are the rules you apply to yourself for taking sedatives and drinking while at work?  Does happy hour ever start early? 


Wow, when I type
for a typing test (trying to get a job), I get so nervous I can barely type and practically pass out. Any tips on how NOT to do that.

I could never type 104 wpm anyway, but I type much worse when trying for a job. Gulp!
Well who is going to type MJ and FF?
That hospital was one of ours, so I told my DH that the docs will type it themselves as to not to get a leak out to the press.  Sad times, sad times.  I am in the Midwest now, not to worry about celebs.  Pretty interesting day it was in the land of transcription.  JMO. 
Ever have a day when you just cannot type
I had one of those days yesterday where I typed dyslexic all day and it's spilling over into today.  Man, this sucks.  Normally I never have more than one uncoordinated day every few months.  Argh.  It's frustrating! 
We have to type it if dictated. I do this..

I didn't type this but...

During a report, this derm doctor who speaks in this odd monotone voice went on a diatribe (off the record) about a patient using something called "Boudreaux's Butt Paste."  He had never heard of it, and neither had I until his report.  The dude was HILARIOUS!  He went off on a tangent, talking into the mic as if he were talking to another person, asking what it must be like for someone to go up to the pharmacy counter and ask for butt paste, and why on earth were they using butt paste on their face...and oh it went on for a good couple of minutes!  I was actually laughing so hard I had tears down my face!  Months later I found a tube of it in the baby section of Target and was tempted to mail him a small tube just for giggles, but then I thought maybe that would get me into trouble, so I didn't. 


That was my most memorable and most fun report and I will never forget it.  The dude should do stand up comedy, he was THAT funny!


Good times


it was a *duh* type question. that's all. nm

But I am certainly horrified when I type
a report of an facial x-ray on a patient who has been punched in the face.

They do it on TV and the movies all the time, and it only results in bloody lip, lost tooth, bloody nose, or broken nose. The reality can be much worse and quite horrifying to think just a punch with a fist could do that kind of damage.
No. It's a personality type to try to fix
things. A fixer (a male trait that some women have) doesn't realize it when a person is just asking for sympathy, not actual help. They think that by coming up with a practical solution, in this case, an honest way for you to make some cash and everybody to enjoy a little pampering for a small price, she has helped solve your problem. She has no idea this would be offensive and hurtful to you. If you complain she will be shocked because she honestly thought you were asking for help.

I had to figure this out because I have this trait and it's really hard for me to tell if somebody wants help or just a pity party.


LOL!! You should try to learn to type with them ;-) nm

Why can't you type Restuvus here?
Obviously am I missing something?
LOL SO TRUE! That is so true. Especially if you type and type
and forget the catheter in that your boss sent you with the computer and company policies booklet. LOL.
What type of mixer do you have?
ty :)
Sorry! What type of machine do you have? :)
ty
smart type
I had someone tell me that Stedman's smart type was the way to go as far as spell checker and speed typing program. what do you use? and have you used it?
no clue what I was trying to type- sm
under influence of cold meds......think I was trying to type "I was born in 1965".
What type of shipping?
If the person ships it media mail for the book, it will take up to three weeks for you to receive it. Regardless, one week is not really long enough to file a complaint or start contacting the person. I have been doing business on ebay, buying and selling once in a while, and I know you cannot expect your items so soon...especially around Christmas.
if your ex is the type of person who would allow (sm)
an evil witch stepmother to deny his children things... and would not even bother to get his own child a Christmas present, why would you regret not staying married to him? If that is who he is, that is who he already was. If he cared about his children he would do better by them now. I think you did the right thing by divorcing him.
do you type with those nails??
your pup is freaking adorable i love all dogs :)

are you an MT? My nails are long but not that long! :)
What type of kitchen mop do you use?
I am really frustrated with my kitchen mop right now. I have a cermanic tile floor that has to be mopped at least once or twice a week (when I feel like it). I can't find a mop that I like and gets the floor clean. Just curious what type of floor you have and what kind of mop do you use?
type drunk?
No but it wouldn't be the first time someone was dictating drunk. Happens more often than anyone would like to admit.
How do you two type with nails?.....
I am always filing mine short so they don't get in the way.
It is so hard to type
when your Boxer constantly wants to "box" the foot pedal!!


What type of advice?
There are pros and cons to each. Upside of craigslist is that it's free, all the proceeds come to you, and usually people come and pick up the item(s). Downside is that you get your day interrupted with phone calls, strangers come to your house, and potential buyers limited to your geographical area.

Upside of ebay is that you post it and forget about it for a couple of days (assuming you have a clear, concise ad). Your item is for sale across the nation/world. On the downside, you pay ebay fees and paypal fees when you sell your item. You have to box it up and either take it to the post office or arrange shipping. You may be stuck selling something at a price you feel is less than it's worth. You also potentially have people not paying or backing out after winning and we you have to go through the whole procedure again.

I think it's a matter of weighing which factors are more important to you...convenience, larger potential audience, and whether the fees are worth it.
I used to type ER reports.
They were quite, um, interesting. Lots of strange occurrences that increased around the time of the full moon each month. I had one doctor trying to dictate a drunk/drugged patient with foreign object removal, but he couldn't stop giggling through the entire report. He even apologized for giggling.
what type of worker

You need either the converter box or a new TV that by law has to have digital in it.  I have a new TV and I scan the digital part of my TV.  I get maybe one station every few days, so obviously I have the capability otherwise I would not get any digital TV.  It is the reception as I live in a rural area.  I do have to get a roof top antenna.  I was wondering what type of worker does that?  When I look in the yellow pages, all it has is satellite and cable, nothing about antenna installers.  I was wondering can just a handy man that I would hire install one or do I have to get an electric contractor to do it.


It seems you are equating any type of housework
as a negative or belittling chore. Lots of high-power women CEOs who work from home as often as they can would even beg to differ with you. Obviously its something that is really on your heart. Why not pick up a copy of Working Mother? Really is a great eye-opener on being a successful professional female in our corporate world, with just as much respect and attention given to running a house as running your company. Its all in the mind of the beholder. Good luck to you. I have to go run and throw the clothes in the dryer.
