I don't have a DNA lab or the money to pay for DNA testing.

How about a lie detector test for mom and dad instead?

How much money rasied for Katrina, how much money for the diasters due to the tidal waves and what?
Every single one of them have had some smoke around it with the money not getting to where it was supposed to go. I did not contribute, I hardly watched, was not caught up again as I have seen things like this before. They should give a all you can give benefit for Darfur where people are being massacared each and every day. Genocide going on there each and every day. I have not seen any benefits to help them out yet.
But her money is her money to spend as she pleases -
I don't understand how you can think it is wrong for her to spend whatever she wants to on whatever she buys. It is their personal money they spend. It is not like they are saying give me those shoes and add it to the taxpayer's bill.

And in all actuality, they are saying spend, spend, spend to get the economy going.

I am sorry, I am jealous that some people still have plenty of money to spend and I don't, but I don't expect those people to quit spending just because I had to.

Was testing to see if I could post.  Tried to reply to another poster. Must have not did it correctly.  Anyway, I am starving, on liquid only, getting ready to endocscopy tomorrow at 12:30, that's a long time.  I just had a can of chicken broth and some White grape juice.  Any ideas?

Has anyone ever had allergy testing before? sm

I have had allergies for years now, but they seem to just get worse every year. I only have trouble from spring to fall. Okay all winter. I have tried every allergy med on the market with no relief. I have used over the counter stuff, Claritin, Clarinex, Allegra, nasal sprays and am now on Zyrtec D b.i.d.  I had a Kenalog injection about a month ago, which usually helps me get throught the summer. I usually get the Kenalog and take my allergy pill and for the most part can get by with minimal symptoms. This year it is like I am on nothing!! I have never had allergy testing before. I would appreciate any input on what has worked for you..or if you have had the testing done. Thanks!


allergy testing-----sm
I just had allergy testing done in March of this year. I had also had it done years ago and was expecting the 100+ sticks on the back. But, I was pleasantly surprised. They had this contraption that had 10 prongs on it and each prong stuck down into the allergen bottle. They then pulled out this contraption and mashed in on my arm and that did 20 "sticks" at one time. They did 3 sets of those and it really was not bad at all. I am now on my 3rd vial of buildup and will be able to give myself my shots after that. I developed sinus polyps during my last pregnancy and had to have sinus surgery last year. The doctors told me that if I didn't get my allergies under control, that the polyps would most likely come back. The shots have helped me a great deal and I can tell a BIG difference.

Just me, but, I wouldn't wait.

Take care!!
has he ever had allergy testing?
my son takes allergy shots and it seems to help him. he doesn't have to take his Zyrtec as often. We also have plastic covers on the mattresses. I don't think the air purifier really helps him a whole lot b/c he is allergic to every allergen they tested him for.
This drug testing is going too far - sm
I don't do drugs and I do know that there is a huge drug problem in America but turning around and testing for drugs for every single thing is going a bit far. Not everyone who is unemployed does drugs. In fact I can bet the people who are unemployed are probably using the money for basic necessities of daily living (food, shelter, electricity).

My dad (72 years old) is collecting unemployment and if he had to take a drug test to get his check that would be horrible. He's the most honest decent human being I know of.

A lot of people who collect unemployment don't do it because they want to, they do it because they have to. A lot of them are going through depression and then to turn around and have to take a drug test like they are criminals?...well why not treat them like crap more and add to the depression they are already going through.

Think this is just another way for government to take control and it is not a good idea. Usually the people who are for others being tested are church goers who think they are "holier than thou".

Bad idea.

Testing is simple
Very complicated subject, but if you are working midnights, sleeping days, or even evenings, you probably are not getting enough sun.  The only real way to know is to undergo a 25-hydroxy vitamin D test.  If you have insurance and your doctor will order the test, then it probably won't cost anything.  If you want to know, have no insurance, and can use a lancet to poke your finger you can get an at-home test from the Vitamin D Council or GrassRoots Health and pay about $30 for the test.  The provide the test, two lancets, postage and the test is very accurate.  The first time I tested I ordered through my doctor's office and because I had no insurance it cost me $300 but I was severely deficient, a 7 on a range of normal from 32 to 100.  Now after supplementation, I am 98.  Start reading about deficiencies with the Vitamin D Council and go from there. 
Genetic testing...sm

Hey girls!


I just had my annual exam and I was talking with the doctor about my family history of breast/cervical cancer.  She mentioned genetic testing and that if I had the gene mutation, then I could have an elective bilateral mastectomy and reconstructive surgery.  Just wondering if any of you have any experience with this or what your thoughts or opinions are on this subject. 


Thanks!


Whoever did her psych testing at NASA
is going to have some explaining to do. Love has nothing to do with this. She is having delusions, probably hearing voices, the whole bit. I wonder if there is a family history of psychiatric illness. Because it's either that or she started taking amphetamines or had some weird medication reaction. I'll bet the male astronaut is dying of embarrassment.
Anyone have genetics testing after a miscarriage? sm
If so, did the testing reveal any possible reasons for the miscarriage and prevention methods for future pregnancies?  Did you get pregnant after that and did you successfully carry the pregnancy? 
It's a legitimate question. He was testing the man's
The man said everything in your life you wished for, be it negative or positive.

So, Larry King put him to the test.

If you agree with the general, you have to agree with the specifics.

He said that little girl brought that upon herself with negative thinking.


sounds like he was testing the waters.

Testing to see if this shows. Wonder why no posts on

What's the penalty for testing positive?

How long before they can straighten up and test negative?  Does this mean for the rest of their lives, they will never receive any welfare benefits becase they smoked a joint? 


Would I the taxpayer have to pay for the drug testing that is performed this one time or multiple times?  Would I have to pay more taxes when people are homeless?  Would we need more homeless shelters?  What would this cost the taxpayers in the long haul?  Is every applicant tested?  Where is this information for the results of the drug testing stored, in a police database?  What type of rehab if the test is positive would be offered, if any?  Would the person serve time for being under the influence?  Would this cause me to have to serve jury duty more often?  Would they also be screened for alcohol?  What type of future ramifications are in order if and when they do get a job?  Would the prospective employer be notified that welfare was not granted due to drug use/intoxication? 


Not an easy task is it?


 


If you consider SIX MONTHS "extensive testing time"
That's how long the FDA evaluated this vaccine to approve it!!

This is from a great FDA article that gives a lot more information. I'll include the link below.

"The manufacturer has agreed to conduct several studies following licensure, including additional studies to further evaluate general safety and long-term effectiveness."

I can't believe that some of you people would be okay giving this to your daughters when there is NO evidence or studies on long-term effects of this vaccine!!

Had allergy testing and then shots for years -

I am highly allergic to dust mites (off the scale!) and had allergy shots for 4 years.  As far as I can tell, it really did no good.  I have had no carpet in the house we built for 7 years now, everything in the bedroom encased, run 2 HEPA filters in the bedroom and 1 in my office 24/7, and I still suffer quite a bit.  I was retested not too long ago.  My test still shows very high sensitivity to dust mites and not really much reaction to anything else (just like before the shots).  I know people who have had great success with allergy shots.  Unfortunately, I am not one of them.  It is worth a try!

I think I'll call my doc tomorrow and see about allergy testing
Thanks!
she is on a multiple-times-per-week drug testing

Too bad - but If you always do what you've always done....you'll always get what you've always gotten.....if her kids are less important to her than her partying, druggin' ways...well, how one makes their bed is how they get to sleep in it.....no sympathy here....


K-Fed, in particular, stays clean FOR his kids....and I don't like or even know the guy, but I do know he IS the better parent from all that is shoved at us about these 2 and not just these 2 but all these rehab'd at-risk younger people....


oh and please don't think I don't have a heart - no flames - got my own family history of substance abuse that goes decades back...some even died....


But having kids is like G_d giving ya a second chance to GET IT RIGHT!!  Some people just don't get it....


JMHO (just my HUMBLE opinion)


 


last night the tests were back from the "air" testing...sm

They tested the air in the trunk to see if there was really human decomposition.  They didn't know for sure but one station was reporting that it was.  As of last night they were still waiting on the DNA results of the hair samples from the trunk also.  Apparently they can tell if it was from a dead/decomposing body and of course whether or not it was the baby's.  Maybe those came back.  Oh! The guy who posted her bond said last night that he was going to revoke it.  I'll bet that's it.


It was so obvious right from the beginning that she was a lying sack of sh**!   First of all, what mother just "looks for" her missing baby for a month without calling the police?  or even telling her own mother? Then, what kind of freakin' human being goes out partying just DAYS after her baby is missing?????  Not only that but she also had a FEW boyfreinds during it all.  Men would be the last thing on my mind and I might be drinking but it sure wouldn't be because of partying.  I'd be drinking myself into oblivion and that's only if you could get me out of bed and stopped crying for any amount of time.  I wouldn't be able to function if my little girl disappeared.  Even with the lame excuse that she gave about some babysitter taking her.  If that were the case, then I'd be flamining hot and on a murderous hunt day and night, not even stopping to sleep.  I'd find the woman my damn self and put my own justice on her not evening thinking twice about it.  I'd spend the rest of my life in prison if it meant saving my baby or avenging any suffering she had gone through! 


There isn't even words to explain how I feel about her!  That poor baby girl doesn't deserve what she is getting right now, being treated like a bag of garbage and left to rot somewhere!!!!  Casey will get what she deserves in prison though, I can almost guarantee that. And I don't mean by the courts or our so called justice system.  The women in there will give her the justice she deserves!  You can bet on it!


monthly plan her with 10.00 extra for unlimited testing = 30/mo. no msg

You are right on the money here...

What great advice!!! I too did a lot of what you have listed in your post.  It worked!!! When rules/expectations are in black and white, it's pretty hard to argue about it...


My 2 teens do their own laundry, clean the kitchen after supper, clean their bathroom, and now that they both work, buy the majority of their "things."


The key, I believe, is responsibility.  Kids thrive with responsibility.  They may moan and groan about it, but in reality, they thrive with rules and responsibility.  Good luck!!!


She is right on the money about that - sm
As I said in my post above. The discipline at our former (private) school was a joke. Luckily the majority of the kids at this school are good kids, but there are a few bad apples that would never be allowed to get away with what is tolerated at this school. The nutcase (or strangler) in my daughter's former class at the private school would have been expelled by now from a public school. Amazing what they will put up with for $6K a year and an alumni mother. Oh, and of course they have no type of a counselor or psychiatrist at the private school, no nurse even. They had a real cow when Jenny was in chemo and dealing with that. But that is another story.
Money.
Money or a gift certificate to whatever craft store they shop at when they get supplies for the kids. You can also donate money to the teachers "account" at school and it's tax deductible.
Where to put my money

I am selling my house and moving overseas. I will have between 250,000 and 275,000 after agent fees and loan pay off. I want to take about 50,000 and put in a money market account attached to my checking and savings accounts for easy access for things as I need them and for unforeseen expenses.


I don't know how best to use the other approximately $200,000. I will not have a job. My only income right now will be about $1150 a month from my rental property. I would like to invest my other $200,000 and live on the interest combined with my rental income. What is the best return I am looking at?


Of course I know I need to talk to my accountant and maybe hire a financial adviser but I'd like to hear some thoughts and get some direction so I can research it a bit myself.


5% for a money market is okay but is there a better way to structure this? In a couple of years I may want to use this $200,000 to purchase a home or business so it can't be away for good but 3-5 years is okay.


I keep getting told about going offshore because I won't have to pay taxes on the interest and with internet banking it is easy to transfer funds and make payments.


Of course you can tell I am a novice but I would like to start researching my best options. Any advice?


Money - Should I be mad or not?
Suppose you had a friend who was very nice all the time, to everyone, can't stand to hear anyone say an unkind word about anyone. Suppose this friend had come crying to you several times over a period of a couple of months with financial difficulties, and rather than loan them the money (which would prolong the difficulty in my opinion), you just gave it to them to help them get caught up.   It was a necessity and children involved, etc..  So you helped them....anyway...

What if after that, it became a regular monthly, and sometimes semi-monthly event, where there was some major issue of why this person needs money, you figured they must really be having a hard time, felt sorry for the children, and helped a couple more times. 

 

It is my feeling that when you give someone something, it is theirs, so you shouldn't even ask what they did with it.  But suppose now you find out that they have purchased something fairly expensive ($400) that is a completely unnecessary luxury item (game), that they had to have purchased during the timeframe you were helping them, and mentioned some other things they have been doing recently - things that you yourself can't even afford to do!!   Would you feel you had a right to be upset or would you just say to yourself that they have a right to have a life and once they had money, to spend it how they want?  This happened to me recently, and while I have decided not to give them any more money, I am not sure if I should be angry or not?

Boy, that's a lot of money. I think about that old man in WV? who won

Well, let me see, about money
I have been given money beyond my wildest dreams, from money I got after being outsourced 6 years from a previous employer, over 100,000 (where did it come from?, got retirement when I left there to money given to me by family member and then after this person's death, sold property left to me by them, sold a property I had before this one- the main thing though and I have said this time and time again- I try my best to help others out, choose either animals or people, whatever touches my heart. This Christmas picked some people out from Craigs List and did things for them. I do not do to get because my heart is just like that but things are always coming to me. My mother told me as a child I was like this, giving and I really believe it just comes back- Karma.
Money...
First of all, I can't understand why you would give him money...secondly, he probably is getting it from another woman.  Guess you should just deal with it, it's really not any of your business where the money's coming from...are you engaged or otherwise committed to one another?
Boy, do I need the money
I might not receive it as I made just under $3000.00. The rest of my income was around $11000.00 from SSD. I had two major surgeries last year, and being an IC, have no benefits.

 

Now, if people in my income level don't need the refund more than the upper limit that was set, I don't know who does! Why in the world they would need it is ridiculous. I can definitely use it for bills, or better yet....FOOD!!

The money came from
my father- I was his only next of kin- no siblings living on my side or father's side, his wife not living. My son and his family had already received close to $100,000 from my father earlier.
you had money for that
the possibility of being on welfare? seems to me welfare wouldn't even have been a possibility if you had money for her college tuition plus. probably could have dropped a job or two. ?
See when it comes to having money around
I usually don’t have, don’t keep as much as $5.00 in the house but when I take her home and pay her, usually stop at the bank to use ATM so no money could be taken from the house. I think if you needed items such as the ones I listed (hubs said also has been missing laundry powders and things like cleaning solutions- he notices these things much more than I do (1 time had told me he had missing herbs he had bought- did not have to worry about me using as I do not cook). I hate to think about losing the help but then again cannot stand the fact of her stealing- by the way, the panties so new might have still had tags on them??
Where is all the money going

Has anybody ever heard of a Transcriptionist winning the lotto?  thought not...lol, and if you did, I bet she didn't keep on working!


He kept his $10 and only used her money for gas.

We can get you MONEY
The injury lawyers always say that phrase and I hate it!

It's my money and I want it NOW!

Of course they are...where's the money in
finding a cure for ANY ailment or disease? Wouldn't you think with all of the fantastic doctors and scientists this country has, the numerous telethons, fund raisers, charitable contributions, endowments, etc, that one cure for one disease would be found? Healthcare is the one industry that will probably never face a downturn, let alone financial crisis. Baby boomers = ailments and disease, ailments and disease = money; any wonder drug dries all that money up. I sometimes type people who are on 10, 20, 30 medications...what a racket.
