The ingredient in cough syrup? What's it gonna do
s
Many classics but I have to say one Amy Grant CD is my favorite
Breath of Heaven and Grown up Christmas List are just beautiful.  If you have not heard these, you need to give a listen, you will want to buy the CD.  :)  I added a link to the song clips (if I did that right.)
Grant's Kills Ants has worked for me. (sm)
They take the bait back to the queen and it kills her, and then the entire colony.

We just sprayed the perimeter of our house with Ortho Home Defense Max and it killed literally thousands at the site where they were getting into the house (they came out and died near the site - yuck!). So far, so good! It says you can spray it inside too, but I'm like you...I don't like to spray that stuff indoors.

Good luck!
Grant's Kills Ants is the only thing that has worked for me.
Don't know if it depends on the type of ant, but I tried everything and then tried Grant's Kills Ants ant stakes and they worked! Good luck! I hate ants!
I use Pumpkin Spice Torani syrup also purchased at (sm)
Cash N Carry - I have a pump on the bottle  and put a couple of squirts in - I only like light flavored pumpkin - but you could adjust depending on your preference.  I put it in the milk before heating otherwise it cools it down too quickly. Great - now you are making me crave one too!! :)

How bout this
Went to drive in with guy (okay do drive-ins date me?). Went to bathroom as I'm getting back into car and my friend and her boyfriend who were there also are signalling wildly for me no, no, no. I look at them weird, open door sit down to find I'm sitting on some girls lap. I yell at him "What did you do go get another girl while I'm in the bathroom". Look over and realize it wasn't my boyfriend Danny.
cough
Cough for 2 weeks. sounds really junky with wheeze. chest totally clear. no congestion at all. cough is slighty productive. feels as if in the trachea/larynx area. slight hoarseness, no sore throat, no fever.Any ideas? Any recommendations?
cough
are u in NC? Maybe related to NC.
cough
 That's what I was thinking, allergies. Never had before I moved down here.
Huh, Britney, sorry bout that

My dad and I were just talking bout this
My grandmother is from PRico - when she came her her older sister took her in and made her learn english before anything else. My grandfather came from Canada and he had to learn english from his family. On another note...I keep getting my phone bills in spanish. Not half english/half spanish - ALL spanish. I've called the compnay many times and said I can't read the date its due and anything. They apologized but never fixed the problem. Also, I have been getting literture from them and that is also in spanish. They also answer the phone in spanish and I have to ask if they speak English (makes me feel like a foreigner in my own country). I have solved the problem though and switched my phone company. I'm now with a company that my bills will be coming in english. I just can't understand it(well I do understand, I just don't agree).
may have kennel cough
I think kennel cough does eventually resolve but can be treated without much of expense - ask a vet.
I'm sure it's kennel cough (sm)
We adopted a dog from the local SPCA and he had it - they told us it spreads like wildfire among dogs who are confined.  They would have let us bring him there to be treated, but it was too far, so we just took him to our vet.  I don't know about a rescue group, but it seems to be that they should be responsible for it.  If they refuse, maybe a local vet will let you pay it off, but it must be treated.  It is otherwise known as Bordatella.  Good luck.  It is an awful-sounding cough, I know. 
Vet does not work alone. How bout a big fruit

How bout "Izzy Onna?" nm

 


 


I see your point and agree - how bout this though
Maybe what I should have said was that maybe the mother should have told her daughter that if she is in the ER she should not be playing with her Game Boy, talking on the phone, and laughing and joking with the mom, and she should have at least "acted" as though she was sick. I think that's the point I was trying to make but it didn't come out right. I certainly do understand about people needing the ER for reasons (lousy day care, etc). Just for pitty's sake if your taking your daughter to the ER tell her to pretend she is sick and not play, laugh and talk on the cell phone.
I forgot to tell you bout mine
Sometimes I feel like I'm about to scream. Luckily I'm not in as bad situation as OldMT (you poor thing) and he's not as grumpy as what sm wrote (you poor thing too). He's not grumpy, and he laughs a lot and emotionally he's fine, but I guess I would call it indecisive in not knowing what he wants to do with his life. He comes out about every 3 - 4 hours to discuss with me what he wants to do. This is like 6 or 7 times a day. This is every single day. No lie - honest to goodness truth every single bleeping day. Maybe once or twice a week there's a break. He isn't working. Quit his job about 6 years ago (absolutely hated it) and has not found what he wants to do "when he grows up". He'll come out and tell me he wants to do this. Then 3 hours later tells me something different, then about 2 hours later is something different, 3 hours later it's back to the first idea he had, etc, etc, etc. He asks me what I think and I give him my honest opinion (in a very upbeat and light and positive way) and as we're disccusing this and I'm finished talking he answers me and is talking about something totally different than what we were just discussing (he's back to talking about what he was thinking about the last time he came out). I feel like I'm losing my mind. One time he told me an idea he was thinking about and I told him it would be good but I could see some down sides to it. I then got "blasted" by him for about an hour telling me how negative I was and how is he ever supposed to find something he wants to do if I'm so negative. He's talked about wanting to go back to school to learn a trade but we don't have the money for him to do that and thanks to the way the country is going, what he used to do is not around anymore.

BTW - For all those who will just blast me with "just tell him this or just tell him that), you cannot just tell your DH to quit whining and get a job - does not work. :-)

Anyway...just wondered if this is male menopause he's going through and how much longer its going to last. I haven't even started my menopause yet and I would at least like him to be through his before I go through mine (that will not be a pretty sight). :-)
You are correct - sorry bout the type
I always thought it was riddens. Guess I said it that way so much I thought it was that.
Too much - how bout once every half hour or so
Drives me insane, although things have gotten so bad here were we live (crime wise) and peoples home are being broken into while they sleep so I sleep at night and he sleeps in the day/afternoon. But when he is awake he comes out of his room every half hour or so to tell me the latest in news/events. It drives me absolutely crazy.
But it's better than it used to be. However, I do love my time when he's sleeping.
Could be kennel cough, heartworms.
He really should not go in for surgery until the reason for the cough is found and cleared up. If kennel cough, he will need antibiotics. If heartworms he would need a treatment that is a couple of hundred or so.
Any one ever deal with kennel cough in their dog? nm

We got a beautiful baby basset hound about three weeks ago. We took her because she was the last of 13 in her litter and had given up to die. She had quit eating and drinking at the pet store. When we went to see her she just lit up with my daughter and actually ate some food while we were there.  We brought her home because we couldnt bear thinking of her dying. We took her to the vet and she had failure to thrive, worms, and kennel cough. We have had her on two rounds of antibiotics, diazepam, worm medication, Pepcid, and Torbitrol. We had her to the emergency vet last weekend and she spent the night in ICU because of respiratory distress. I just took her back to our vet again today because she was up all night coughing and crying. She vomited 5 times this morning and has refused food since yesterday. The vet said she now has full blown pneumonia and the kennel cough has been a resistant type so we are now trying another antibiotic and more Torbitrol for the coughing. This poor baby has been through it. I am so glad we took her as the vet said she would have definitely died by now.


I was just wondering if anyone has dealt with kennel cough before? Thanks for any insite to this problem. She is such a sweet little dog. She just breaks my heart when I see her coughing and struggling for air.


My mother was just prescribed a cough
medicine that is $82 and the insurance will not pay as it is not on their formulary. Many are like this. Normally the pharmacy will let you know and if there is an equivalent they will call your doctor and see about getting it changed to something the insurance covers.
where I live at, the whooping cough sm
is going around! Hubby works for the medical center and they are advising EVERYONE to have a whooping cough booster! Unbelievable.
This annoying little cough I have from allergies or cold
Can't tell which it is. But it has hung on for a long time, and today really driving me nuts. Glad no one is home, they'd think this is the "house of tuberculosis!" My own cough is today's pet peeve!
Well, it's gotten cold enough to burn the fireplace. I'm in northern AZ. How bout you?

He just got over a bad bout with bronchitis so that is why he stayed home. Dad always takes sm
both of them, but to be quite frank, that is no one elses business and not the root cause of his behavior. Thank you.
Have had a cough for a week - woke up last night w severe arm pain, all the way down

I have been coughing and kind of achy, yesterday hurt all over, no fever, but in the middle of the night last night, woke up with horrible pain, to the point of making me cry all the way from my shoulder to the joints in my hands.  Both shoulder joints are sore, but the right arm hurts all the way down.  I have taken Advil, used muscle rub and am working with my arm propped on a pillow.  Anyone ever had this happen?  Wondering if it is just muscle pain from being sick or if I got something out of whack in my cervical spine from all the coughing!!  This stinks!!!


I think they'll FINALLY send Sanjaya home. Bout time. He should have
think they'll send Haley home.
whisper whisper whisper COUGH! COUGH!
Ow
Pity Party going on here. Head cold, stuffed up ears, cough, whaa! whaa ! whaa!

I have been working 7 hours so far today and have managed to type about 700 lines.  Spending more time with hands reaching for kleenex and/or sanitizer.  I HATE a cold. 



Okay, nuff said I will shut up and suffer in silence.


Have a good one.


You may be, from the sounds of your posts, sounds like an *illegal*
and that in itself is a crime. Nobody else would take 65.00 for an entire day slaving/laundry, heavy cleaning, etc. LOL. Nah, I don't think so. I'm just saying, what it sounds like to me. : )
He sounds wonderful...sounds like you two have a relationship (sm)
based on love and nothing superficial at all. I'm glad you appreciate him and are so grateful for him. Best wishes & continued happiness to you both :-)
Sounds like you are doing everything right...

Hang in there.  It sounds to like you are doing everything right.  I totally agree that kids are under too much pressure these days and that they certainly need to be given more time to just be kids.  Being a single mom I try make sure that my children grow up to be responsible adults with good morals and values, but I also make sure that they have their space so they have a chance to make their own choices (when possible) and see the consequences of those choices.  Being a parent is certainly not easy and doing it in today's society is stressful to say the least. 


As for your neighbor, I think she could take some lessons from you.  Good luck and keep your chin up!!! 


Sounds to me like . . .
she has the attention she wanted, it's almost like you took her bait. She sent you nasty Emails and now you are begging her to forgive you. You know the the saying "Don't cast pearls before swine". Sounds like she can more easily respond to the negative rather than the positive. Anyway, what would you do if she forgave you? Be her friend again? Until she changes her heart, you're better off, keep your distance. She sees your goodness as weakness. It's probably fun for her to make you uncomfortable. Maybe deep down she is jealous of you. Don't hate her, be sad for her. Don't fall into her games.
sounds like a CC I used to have, which did--sm
pretty much the same thing. They said it was their *annual fee* and, like you, I just paid it to keep the peace and close the account. Personally I think it is a scam just to get a few more dollars out of you, but how do you prove it and who do you complain to??? I don't have credit cards any longer either. Learned my lesson too. what a rip!
Sounds like (sm)
your FIL has two abled bodies to care for him already.  Why should you go back?  It would probably be nice if you checked in once in a while and took your 2-year-old to visit, but moving back sounds like it would put a strain on things.  Your husband may be feeling guilty and feels the need to "help".  Explain to him that helping is taking some groceries once in a while or offering to pick-up meds, etc.  You, your husband, and child would be probably a breath of fresh air once in a while if you were to just visit on occasion.  Moving back seems a little like overkill, but it is tough because when it is family you want to give it your all!  Also, there is one in every family that "freeloads".  Let them figure it out for now.  Hope your FIL is feeling better soon and hope you can find your way to be helpful without having to sacrifice your new home....  Take care and good luck... 
sounds mean . . .sm
but when my daughter and husband were pulling that on me I told my daughter it was not safe that she could die very easily in the front seat or get hurt very badly. She quit asking, daddy quit doing it. Now she is 12-1/2 and no problem there, she is 5Ƌ" and weighs about 130 pounds. But I used to get SO FRUSTRATED!!! Daddy's little girl . . . .
Don't know that one, but it sounds sm
like a good time.  if you are in for an evening away from the parks. I have friends who own Sleuth's dinner theater.  Three theaters, dinner included, plus one is only for kids, I think.  You enjoy a great dinner, and a murder mystery play, where you take part in solving the mystery.  It is right on Universal Drive and I think the website is sleuths.com
sounds like your going to anyway.
but i would urge you to proceed with caution, go very very slowly. When it seems too perfect, too good to be true, it may be wrong. One of my first thoughts is that if he is the spiritual man you think, ie, Christian, he might not have had 2 divorces -- not always the case, but often times. you both need to know what your own faults are and be careful to not make the same mistakes. More than anything (outside of knowing each other very well, nonintimately) is have real committment on both sides, the determination to stay with the marriage. i married a man with 2 divorces too -- 25 yr later we're still married. But it was sheer determination to make it work on my part, lots of prayer and such. I did endure what one should not have to, to get to this point. Once i was into it, i certainly understood how come he had been divorced twice. Wishing you the best.
Sounds like now as of this a.m.

Apparently the so-called lawyer owns a business called Hot Lips Smoochy or something like that and has never tried any cases at all.  He is apparently the executor of her estate.  Now isn't that convenient?  He tells the photographer Daddy that she lost the baby, but she winds up having a baby anyway 9 months later.  The photographer breaks it off with her because she is drinking while pregnant.  Oh my, the gossip.  She looks like she's all drugged-up on any interviews I've seen, and I saw one last night from 3 days before her death.  She is wearing dark glasses for the first part (inside), and they go outside, and she takes the glasses off.  Makes no sense.  I don't know, but what does Granny want with the baby now?  That poor baby!  So many Daddies??????  I have never seen men trying to prove they ARE the father in all of my life?  Twists and turns this story has, which I'm sure has the producers in Hollywood salivating.  There will be books and there will be moves.  Life happens, I guess. 


It sounds to me like you are not even willing --sm
to compromise on this and want everything YOUR way. What arrangement does HE want? Do you even know? You never said what HE would like. It is just my opinion, but it does not sound like you are even ready to get married, if you cannot find a way to compromise on even this small detail. Good luck to you.
Sounds to me like you were just being
very thoughtful, and I bet he appreciates you as much as you seem to appreciate him. What a wonderful thing!
She sounds like quite a gal . . .
especially the part about being a practicing Buddhist. She probably marched to the beat of a different drummer. The doctors might have saved her but who knows what quality of life she might have. My mom, dad, aunts all were healthy until their 80s. They end up in a nursing home. My aunt is 90, she's really been dying for a year, they keep on prolonging it. I think death at some point may be a blessing. You're going through a mourning process. Your tears are for you, you'll miss her, she'll be in a better place. You are going to have to brace up and take comfort in your faith.
Actually should be It sounds.....nm

sounds like my SIL
We had a chow years ago. We raised him from a pup and he was very protective of all of us but especially the kids. ANY kids for that matter.

The kids in the yard, someone comes up the driveway, he was there. Would not let anyone get between him and those kids. Didn't matter if they were our kids or their friends. He never bit anyone but he wasn't going to let anyone take "his" kids either.

Never did that to the parents of the kids either, just total strangers that he didn't know. For Chow's, he had an exceptional personality and never saw him so much as growl at anyone. He would bark but would back away as he was barking.

My SIL's chow is a rescue so who knows how he was raised.
She just sounds like someone who has --sm
to pick and pick until she starts an arguement. Try to ignore her. If you don't give her what she wants, she will go away. just my opinion.
sounds like it to me . . .
I've seen two physicians recently, one who specializes in anxiety, and they think the crude policy under my current company of having to "make up" any time I take off is burning me out, promotes physical and mental self-neglect and is fueling an anxiety disorder. "That's sick," is actually what one said, and put me on a mild anxiolytic temporarily and told me to find a way out. The company says "everyone else does it" like I'm some kind of freak or bad MT, but in talking to other MTs there I'm finding the majority saying no they're not or they are frying themselves out doing it and have also complained about it. Having to always "make up" a day off is not a day off and does not promote rest. I'm having to learn to take the doctors' advice I'm typing for, letting go and taking care of myself. :-) The consequences of not doing so are much more dire. It kills me they have an EAP program. Seems to me investing in just letting people have a life would be more efficient. Recently bought out, the new company acted like it was a plus to keep this crappy policy. Yeah, right.

I'm really, really close to singing "Take this job and shove it . . . " Shame, because it's an otherwise decent company, um, unless you want a life.

Watching all my family enjoy this weekend as a 3-day weekend while I type. Sometimes I wake up and cry before starting work because I feel like I can't get a break from this job without consequences.

WORDS OF WISDOM: When applying for an MT job, ASK CAREFULLY about the EXACT way "time off" is calculated and quiz their MTs, not the administrative people who have never done MT. What looks good on paper . . .
Sounds like they don’t have a pot to
pi..s… in. These sound like grown folks and I do not consider myself a bank, therefore do not loan money out even to my grown KIDS. Only could a child move in with me if they were sick and unable to take care of their own self. Sounds like they have no responsibility about financial business. Sorry they would just have to do things on their own. Loaning money (or giving it away, whatever the case is) only makes relationships strained. I do not sign as collateral for anyone, do not take stray folks in, do not run a banking business.
