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! :)
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?
Anyone ever try the cat nails for the furkids?

Please, no posts about declawing. I would never do that!! I have brand new furniture and right now it is covered with sheets, blankets and the like, delivered yesterday, living room full of leather at that (along with new dining room, 10 new chairs that have cloth seats). I tried the scratching posts, I tried the bad smelling stuff they sell at the pet stores, I tried the water bottle (that is effective as long as in the same room), but I want to know who has tried the cat nails and if they work. I want to enjoy the beauty of my furniture and I love my kids! I would never damage those indoor babies but I want to look at my furniture also. Are the nails hard to put on. HELP!!


I'm so mad I could spit nails!!!

Okay, let me start off by saying, I'm writing this for the primary purpose of venting.  I'm not asking for advice or expecting support, but I would appreciate no bashing on this one. 


I have 2 boys playing little league this year on the same team.  Last night they had a game against the 1 team I really wanted them to beat.  I absolutely cannot stand 1 of the kid's mothers on the other team.  She is at every sports function and likes to run everything.  She is very pushy and will do anything to have her kid come out on top (suck up to the head coaches, offer to run the boosters, make ridiculous posters to hang on her front porch for the kids on the bus to see).  You get the picture? 


Ordinarily I keep my distance from her because just the sound of her know-it-all voice gets on my nerves.  Last night I stood in the same spot I always stand in.  My kids were the home team and I was near the first baseline (my kids play first and second base and pitch).  She ends up 3 feet from me.  The first couple of innings were fine.  Let me say that I do not boo the other team or make any remarks at all about their players.  I am there to cheer my sons' team on and my sons. 


Now to the technicalities, the last 2 games we have been short an outfield ump.  The only ump we had was the one behind the catcher.  Usually when this happens, if there's someone in the bleachers who's willing to ump the outfield, they can make $10.  Last night, this guy volunteers, who happens to be this other woman's dad (hence, the grandfather of a kid on the opposing team).  As unhappy about this as I was, I said nothing.  I figured he deserved the benefit of the doubt. 


He made several calls early on that seemed fair, so I pretty much dismissed the bias I thought he might have.  Then about halfway through the game, we have a runner on first and third and our kid up to bat.  He hits it and the runner on first goes to second while the runner on third goes home.  The ball made it to the infield and the shortstop tries to catch the runner going to second.  Our runner makes it second base just before the other kid does and the other kid ends up on top of him and he drops the ball.  Now, the outfield ump (gramps), calls our kid safe and we got a run in.  The catcher ump turns around and calls the kid out, saying it was a forced play and he didn't have to tag the kid and he thinks the other kid made it to the base first.  How he saw that from his distance is beyond me.  Secondly, when he called the kid out after the fact, he gave no explanation for it.  The coaches didn't even know. 


Now this is when I got a litte irritated.  I yelled out that our kid was on the base first and the other ump called him safe.  I'll admit I was a little heated and was talking rather loudly to my mom.  I was not talking about any of the kids.  I was stating that the other ump's eyes (catcher's ump) must be pretty good to see that far away when the ump who was right there called him safe (gramps).  I probably did go on a little longer than I should have, but it not only cost us a run, it also gave us 3 outs to end the inning. 


At this point, the woman sitting 3 feet away, says "Enough already!"  I turned and said "I don't think I was talking to you!"  I then turned back to my mom and the 1 coach and asked what the call was and why.  This woman then addresses me by name and begins telling me the rules of baseball.  Now mind you, this woman has never played baseball in her life (we went to the same school) and the only kid she has in baseball a son younger than my oldest.  Furthermore, later on in the game, she had no clue what the infield fly rule is (and even I knew that one), my point being she doesn't know the game that well.  So after she starts telling me this, I looked at her and said "I've heard enough of out you!"


Needless to say, 2 bad calls later, we lost the game.  I'm still fuming.  I realize this is only a game and it's not our first loss.  But this woman's know-it-all attitude really has me PO'ed.  She's been picked up for shoplifting and I really wanted to explain to her what shoplifting is and why you shouldn't do it, but I didn't.  I know I'm going to have to see her at every sporting event because she pushes her kid to play sports year-round.  She had 3 kids before she even got married and milked the system for all she could.  Now she's a daycare provider and I actually took my kids to her once years ago, before I really knew her, and my kids hated going there because all she did was watch TV.  The kids had to be quiet and they had to watch her shows.  They weren't allowed to go outside to play until her soaps were over. 


Okay, I feel better.  I just really needed to vent this one.  I think the next time we play them, I will stand on the opposite side of the field from her and maybe wear earplugs, so I can't hear her either.


I tip for haircuts and nails, etc. NM

Yes, I tip for haircuts and nails too.
You should tip for haircuts and nails unless the service it done by the owner of the salon. The owner is already making the profit from the service.
I am so livid I could spit nails! - sm

My daughter's both take dance at a local dance studio.  Nothing fancy, nice people, etc, and have been going there now for over 3 years.  Last night my 8-year-old left her coat there (denim jacket with embroidered butterflies --from Kohl's I think) and a pink scarf.  I thought nothing of it, she'd let coats there before without problem, and I knew I'd be back there tonight for my other daughter's dance class, also I was too tired to go back (16 miles round trip) to get it....she told me she left it there when we pulled into the driveway.  So get there tonight and no jacket or scarf. Someone there actually stole it (so it appears).  I am so po'ed it is not funny.  I made a sign asking for its return, saying "lost", etc, and if anyone had accidentally taken them home with them (though they were both pretty distinctive).  I just cannot believe someone there stole them.  I see these people 9 months out of the year.  This is a very small community with hardly any crime and someone steals a coat and scarf.  I called the owner and left a message for her, hoping against hope that she took them home for some reason (they have a lost and found box), but still waiting on her call.  If no one coughs it up I am certainly going to make a lot of noise there next Tuesday night and talk to every parent and let them know that someone stole my kid's coat.   


Hey! my nails are suddenly improving
I have always had weak fingernails. I recently read I can blame the Raynaud's I have. But my nails are suddenly getting harder and growing, so I wanted to share the possible causes.

1) I just started using Burt's Bees lotions. I have the shea buter hand repair creme, and also the Babby Bee buttermilk lotion. These are great products. I especialy like the Baby Bees because the fragrance is really nice. I'm going to try a lot more of their products.

2) I just started taking vitamin D. I bought the kind with calcium and without. Calcium is good, but can be constipating, so I am taking one one day and the other the next. I decided to take it because it is supposed to be helpful for depression, and since I'm working at home now and not with people, I don't want to get depressed. But I was surprised to find the healthfood store didn't have a lot of products with D in it, so I think people have missed the news about how important vitamin D was discovered to be a couple of years ago. Don't want to get MS? Take vitamin D now. Want to keep your teeth? Take vitamin D. Want to do all you can to avoid cancer? Take vitamin D. Don't want your mother-in-law to break a hip and come live with you? Buy her vitamin D! Here is one article:

http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20041009/bob8.asp

So either the lotion or the vitamin D is finally giving me decent fingernails. Worth a try if yours are weak.

No, but I do trim her nails once a month.
.
Which vitamin for hair and nails?
Is it vitamin D? My hair will only get to a certain length and seems like it stops growing. Any ideas on something to help it grow more?
I wonder how much out of that $2300 a month she uses to get her nails done?
xx
I bite my nails, so I get them done short..
they are really not too long, but look better than when I have chewed them all off. Terrible habit, I know, but a very difficult one to break. I quit smoking and didn't really think it was that hard, but I just cannot stop chewing my nails!
i take hair, skin & nails w/biotin.

I posted Lee Perfect sounded like fake nails and

Nails need to be rather short to start with, this is good for smoothing edges.
Can't really use it to "cut" a dog's nails if they are long because it would take all day. It's basically just a little sandpaper-type stuff on a roller that spins/turns.
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..
MEDICATIONS INCLUDE:
1.

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.
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.
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.
This is very common for men after this type of surgery....sm
I would see this a lot when I worked for a group of cardiovascular surgeons. Make an appointment for your husband & yourself with his surgeon so that they can first off assure him that this is normal. Some hospitals have post-CABG support groups and if your hospital has this, go as that will help him. Men especially have a hard time post-CABG because the male ego is "I can do anything and won't get sick" and it crushes their ego to have their heart become diseased. Continue to try to get him involved in things without nagging. The doctor may also place him on an antidepressant short-term if they feel it is indicated. Good luck!
Be careful of what type of massage too!

I got my husband a massage for a gift once...what a disaster!  We knew nothing about them...I thought it would be relaxing.  NOT!  Apparently it was for something called a "deep tissue massage."  What the heck did we know--a massage is a massage.  We almost had to call the ambulance to get him off the table because the lady just totally messed up his back, even though on the "getting to know you sheet" I had specifically wrote down that he had degenerative disk disease.  So here was this poor grown man, in tears, extreme pain, and completely embarassed that he couldn't move.  The massage lady was freaking out saying she had never had anything like that happen to her.  The total kicker was no money was ever refunded to us, and we never even got a call at home to check on him.  I was just so preoccupied with getting him safely into our pickup truck with minimal embarassment to him and getting him home. 


Thinking back, he says he wouldn't have minded the whole ordeal at all if there was a "happy ending" to his massage, but alas, this was a "legit" place  


 Men.


Hmmm, could make some type of
shutters too like the white boards but have them open like the old fashioned shutters. thanks
I meant to type this - see inside
Don't go telling people they aren't "special enough" to enter heaven just because they were "good" people. Shame on you. That is NOT supportive to someone who has lost 2 family members so soon.
sorry, I meant to type Appalachian....sm
not Adirondacks - I just made an error............very sorry :)
