when the nurses asked him why a baseball, he responded that his wife was not home and it seemed like a good idea at the time!!!

Tennis Ball in the rectum
Then doctors couldn't get a good enough hold on it to get it back out.  Had to take him to go to the OR and have it surgically removed.  Also light bulb man, except light bulb broke into hundreds of small pieces.  OUCH!
Yep, then you take a big baseball bat
naw, just kidding but this was years ago and I saw rats swollen up like overfed pigs, well not that big but you could tell the edema had really set in. Maybe since they were in the farm yard they were just left to get blow up like balloons??
Does she like baseball? sm
For my 16th, my parents took 2 of my friends and me to a pro baseball game.  The B-day deal included boxes for all of us with goodies (edible and nonedible) and my name on the scoreboard.  The seats were not good, but a Montreal Expo outfielder (Andre Dawson) yelled out "happy birthday" to me.  Best of luck!
I have baseball memories with my Dad
My favorite activity as a child was stick/hose ball.  My Dad would cut up old hose and pitch them to us.  There were some woods behind the house, so it didn't matter how hard you hit those pieces of hose.  What fun!!  We used to go crabbing in the summer and built gigantic snowmen in the winter.  I was in the middle child with an older and younger brother, so I learned to play a lot of football, baseball, and yes, believe it or not, we used to play guns!  Fake ones of course!  Times have sure changed! 
for all you baseball fans out there...sm

Boston did rather well...At any World Series ya get a really exciting experience, especially if you're in the  nosebleed seats.  Cat

steroid use in baseball
Can anyone tell me why Congress is using taxpayer $ to investigate steroid use in major league baseball, especially on those who used steroids before they were banned.  Why doesn't baseball clean up their own mess?
Watch a baseball game. sm

A lot of pro sports people do it too.  Good luck, maybe he will stop. 


 


 We all have troubles with kids.   My 21-year old son was on pot real bad, and he has finally stopped, so hang in there.


If he can play baseball with his vision...
he can play football with it. You need to see better for baseball.

Trust me, they don't have to be tough to play football. The first couple times they get hit, you can see how scared they are. Then the actually realize those pads really DO stop it from hurting...and some of our littlest ones turns into the most aggressive ones.

Football is hard work though, and the training is more difficult than the other sports. My husband coaches baseball, basketball and football for kids (12 and under). They do work a lot harder and they're pretty exhausted after football, but if it really is to the point where they are all throwing up and crying, you have bigger worries. You need a new program director!! I know that's not what you're asking about, but that's just not right for kids that young to be worked that hard. How can they possibly learn to love the sport from that?
Baseball "why" question
Watching the Olympics reminds me of this question....Can anyone tell me why we have a game that is called "The World Series" but only American teams compete and play????????
I loved a baseball bat in YOUR bathroom because I am in serious need of help!
nm
I try to keep $50 stuck in there.......sm
that I don't even have in my check register. That little bit extra has saved me more than once.

It would really stink to have to pay that fee for a penny. Good luck with this!
stuck in UK MSN
I have noticed once in awhile I will be on the MSN page and then not be able to go anywhere else.  The search won't work and if I type an address in the address bar and hit enter, a note comes up saying that page is not available.  I just noticed it says UK MSN.  No idea how I got to that, but that must be what happens once in awhile.  Anyone have any info on this or have that happen? 
cup stuck in the disposal
Can anyone tell me how to get a plastic juice glass out of a disposal in the sink.  It is at the top right by the opening?  Please help.
Remember, you are stuck out there for
who knows how long. Don't know if I would like that.
I worked for a hospital where the major baseball team
here in town used. I had access to all patient information including the telephone numbers and addresses. My daughter, at that time teenager, begged me for the address of a certain big time player who went on to marry Hallie B but no, no- was not gonna put my job on the line. I knew DD could easily turn into your stalker girl!
how funny!! you should have stuck a little cam in there with it like a nanny cam, lol. nm
;
stuck garbage disposal
Never mind, we were able to crack the glass and then get it out.
I'm with you, Hay, but I'm stuck in the days of disco! Think I
s
next time you wake up, tell him you stuck
a pickle up his while he was sleeping and he should go get it removed.
That is exactly where I was getting stuck. Great minds think alike! :)
Congratulations!!
I'm stuck in a permanent time warp...

Ssss-Aaaa-Ffff-Eeee-Tttt-Yyyy....dance.....and everything else from that ambiguously androgynous era.


    


I miss Hayseed and her WebHamCam is stuck

Yes, I stuck to it and lost 30 pounds in 3 months (sm)
You may have increased your salt intake this week and be retaining water? (lots of Weight Watchers dishes are high in sodium)or could you have PMS retention? Also if you started exercising a lot and are building some muscle, you could have lost fat and replaced the fat weight with muscle weight - which is great since muscle is much more compact and burns more calories. A great free website that you might like is 3fatchicks on a diet...not sure of the exact web address but it is very popular and if you Google it you should be able to find it. Don't give up!! I need to go back on it actually!! I have been off the wagon (or is it on the wagon? lol) for a while now. Good luck!!
Oh, lighten up, SLC stuck in my mind as a nice place
because instead of it smelling like a garbage pile, it was the sweetest smelling place and I thought would just let someone know about it. With all that I have been thinking about regarding my aunt having to go to an assisted living or elsewhere, SLC was just a pleasant thought instead of a downer.
Why I stuck with MT after midlife crisis college degree
Lot of reasons, actually, not the least of which was that I was making some seriously good money as a medical biller at the time--and I hadn't burnt out yet. (I was also doing the transcription for 2 practices locally.) I also had an insane stubborn loyalty to my boss, and didn't want to leave him in the lurch. I got out of billing 2 years ago (well past burnout by then) and came home full time, still doing the transcription for the practice and one other, and still making good money at it.

But one reason I went back to school in the first place was because my boss had been making noises about quitting practice at some point, and he was so good (and I had him so very well-trained) I really couldn't see starting over again with another doctor who might not be so trainable. Not only that, the man is 11 years older than I, and it stood to reason he would retire before I would be ready to, so I would lose him eventually.

Last fall he closed his practice, actually going to work for another practice as an employee, not retiring quite yet, but despite his practically standing on his head on my behalf, the other practice didn't want to hire me. (Their loss.) That was when I had to find my first job with a national. Oh, joy. Welcome to the real world.

But I'll tell you what. There are some positive trade-offs. I don't have kids to stay home with... but I really, REALLY appreciate the mere 15-foot commute (I have a 4-1/2 year old car with still under 30k miles on it), the work wardrobe (pajamas), and best of all, the lack of B.S. and office politics. I get all the human contact I need between church and some other activities I participate in--places I choose to go and people I choose to see, rather than having people I don't get along with forced on me, as in the workplace. (Actually, I got along fine with them. They didn't get along with me. I just wanted them to not make my job harder. Was that too much to ask? Guess so. The last week I worked in the office, I had a sign on my wall that said "Others do not play well with me.")

The money in medical billing was nice, but it was costing me far too much. Meanwhile, I've used some of my info tech skills with a few freelance jobs for friends (website design, database design) but I have discovered that I really, really do NOT want to be responsible for maintaining somebody else's systems.... I also figured out really quickly after my business management classes (and being billing department head) that I am NOT cut out to be a manager. Trouble with management is that you have to . . . manage people. It's like herding cats. No, thank you.

So I haven't completely ruled out doing something else with my life, if I ever figure out what I want to be when I grow up... but for now, despite the massive pay cut I have taken, I am willing to hang in there as an MT because of the positive trade-offs I mentioned above. Plus... I've been doing this for 37 years, and I'm bloody good at it, if I do say so myself. :)

Does that answer the question? Anything else I can expound upon for the hopeful enlightenment of all?

Disclaimer: This has been MY chosen route, and for right now, it's right for ME. Others' mileage may vary. :)

Would you report.
If you saw someone moving there furniture out of the house 2 days before their housefire?
That's right. I had one report where pt had SM
cancer of the pancreas and, according to report, was supposd to be dead ten years ago. The guy was alive and doing fairly well with gastrostomy tube. I doubt when doctors give so much time left to live, unless the patient is in really bad shape and we are talking about days; but years? No. SIL may be around for a lot longer.

As for me, I would go to Europe. Maybe stay in Europe! LOL!
Here's two from the same report
Cataractectomy and hyperpotassemia. I used to always change these to cataract extraction and hyperkalemia but in these days of verbatim, I put them through as is. They just look stupid to me.

My ER report today -
CHIEF COMPLAINT:  Difficulty pooping.   
Third report of the morning...
Doctor starts to spell patient's name...D - i - g, as in Zebra.  Yes, he's an ESL and it's too early in the morning for this! 
Get a copy of the op report!
Request a copy of that report or call the physician who performed the procedure.  I was put under general for a procedure that should have been done under conscious sedation.  I complained of throat soreness, and couldn't understand why.  Hence, the OR report confirmed general anesthesia!  Oh my gosh!   How rude for that tech to say that to your husband!  I have never heard of having a colonoscopy without at least some Valium preprocedure, but I guess it could be. 
this was a preliminary report - sorry....sm
preliminary is what Dr. Perper just said........and they do think a combination of drugs got her........but won't know for about a month.
I read the report--sm
and this is what I gleaned from it.

First off, this doctor may be an orthopedic hand surgeon, but in this case, along with others, he was a *study researcher*. He and some colleagues, also *study researchers* read 117 reports, but they did not specify where these *reports* came from. (hmmmm). This was not something he had *discovered* on his own and through his own work as an orthopedic surgeon. This was something he *read.*

Anyway, his conclusion from *reading these reports* was, *A major risk factor for carpal tunnel is genetics.*

The very next sentence says, *Exactly what these genetic factors are is not known.* (hmmm)

Then he also says *The quality and strength of evidence supporting genetics or inherent risk factors was felt to be MODERATE.*

Moderate??? 117 reports?? With all the carpal tunnel cases in the United States alone, I really do not feel that 117 reports from unspecified sources is the end-all and know-all for saying that repetitive use does not cause carpal tunnel. First off, I would want to know who these reports were written by, and pointing to only a *moderate* strength of evidence does not convince me, either. Basically, I would need much more proof than this. AND I would wonder exactly how much money this doctor and his co-researchers were paid to come up with this *conclusion.*

But, this is just my opinion. I do my research too and if it doesn't sound right, it usually isn't. Thanks for the link though and for giving me another opportunity to scrutinize yet another empty claim.
Take it seriously and report to the person
you would think would be most instrumental in getting the assistance she seems to need.
I wish to report my hubby
for the crime of stealing the affection of our foster dog, Cedric.

DH is home sick and I think it's a scheme to spend time with Cedric (though he would never admit this!) to win Cedric's heart over to love only him.

How did I lose control ... LOL.


In this day and age..absolutely. I'd report it to someone.
`
do not wait - do something now -- report her

Before another family or child is scarred by this counselor you need to write a letter to the principal and to the school board documenting everything that has happened.  If you let it go, it will continue and harm other children.  I am all for making children accountable for their actions and sometimes feel that parents do coddle too much sometimes but in this occurence -- do not and I really urge you to do something about it and report it.  If you stand by and let this continue then you are partially responsible -- more of us need to become involved and do something about things like this.   Let us know what happens.   Just document in writing everything that has happened and does happen. 


Report length
The longer the better if it's by one of my favorites.
they can be put on your credit report...
I know for sure b/c I have one on mine. :(

Header on an ER report

I will never forget--


ATV versus Tree. 


ATV lost.


Rates right up there with bus versus bicycle.  Bicycle lost.  Car versus semi.  Car lost.  Car versus pedestrian.  Pedestrian lost.


I'd report her to her superiors.

I'd be into that principal's office in a hot minute, have that teacher, and her union rep right there and have her disciplined.  That is a breech of confidentiality and by no means should she have done that; it is nobody's business what condition that young boy has or deals with every day. 


The bullying needs addressed as well with the principal and those parents called, and then what you do is request he be switched to another school in the district or you'll take to the local newspaper. 


I am so tired of these teachers thinking they can just speak to students any way they choose, and not expect any repercussions from it.  I had a teacher tell my son that his "mother's sob story doesn't fly that you are adjusting to a new school."  Well, I was hot!  I set up a meeting and put her in her place, and the principal actually agreed with me and not her.  I will not tolerate this any longer.


I am now wondering what to do about the fact that my son is being punished for swearing in the hallway to another student and has to serve a detention but the swearing occurred about a month ago.  If that was the case, it needed to be addressed when it happened, not a month later.  My son didn't even know what he was being called in about it was so darned long ago.  These teachers need to understand that they are the ones that students are supposed to look up to, and this teacher in this OP's life obviously is not setting a good example.  This just goes to show how this world has lots to improve upon including people in positions where they are impressionable on our youth.  She was wrong, no ifs, ands, or buts about it.  JMO.


Please report this to the police (sm)
This is threatening and dangerous behavior. he is not afraid to knock on your door or to leave a note. Please call the police and report this immediately.
GOOD REPORT~
My brother and his wife & son went to see them this a.m. and when they walked in Lindsay's room she was texting someone on her phone.. she actually, so they have said has worse injuries than Mikey, she messed up her spleen, lacerated her liver, had some internal bleeding & said they might have to do surgery, not sure about that yet, what they thought was a break was an old wound, not a new break.. Mikey's parents talked to the dr. this a.m. & said he would heal, had a collapsed lung, etc, but he is out of danger as far as whether he's gonna make it. so thanks for all the prayers and Thank God for them both going to be okay..
Reminds me of a GYN report I typed
was in her 80's and thought she was reaching for the KY jelly on her nightstand, but grabbed body wash instead while she was making whoopee.  Poor thing had a terrible infection, hence her visit to the GYN.  I still have to commend her for having you know what, plus KY jelly!  Woohooooo!  What a night, she must of had!  Boy, did she pay for it in the end. 
I would call the sheriff right now and report - seriously.
That is very, very unusual behavior and you need to make a record of it and protect yourself. Lock all your doors and be very, very cautious now. He knows you are alone now and vulnerable and who knows what he might do. Be careful!
According to news report today......sm
the reason it didn't pop up was because the system is not integrated and so this info would not have been found. I find it weird and scary that the state of Virginia found this man mentally ill and as a threat to himself and OTHERS, and STILL the system just let him walk off and back into the university system without any follow up on him.
Report this to animal control!
You need to file a report of both killings to the animal control officer.  My neighbor had 2 Akitas (aggressive like chows) who attacked and killed my cat.  Unfortunately my cat for some unknown mind boggling reason jumped over her fence into her fenced-in yard, BUT . . . these 2 dogs had also gotten loose a couple of times and attacked a woman getting her mail from her mailbox!  Vicious dogs are vicious dogs and this needs to be documented by you.  I feel so bad for your cats, but please don't let it happen to any other poor animals! 
Thanks to everyone and I am happy to report I have been demoted... SM

to handing out programs at the service, another part of this wedding I do not understand. Is this a normal thing, programs at weddings?  Maybe I've just been out of touch for too long or I'm just too kuntry, but I've never heard of a guest book attendant or having programs at a wedding.


Ah well, I'm just happy that when the food is served, I'll be comfy at my table ready to eat and not standing by some silly book making people sign it!


if it does show up on your credit report sm
You could try to get it removed. Tell the credit agency to remove it because you don't owe the money, that you sent a certified letter within 7 days to cancel this and that legally you don't owe it. Check out the state attorney general's office. If it were me, I would not pay it. If it does end up on your credit report, i don't know if paying it will get it removed.
You're doing my husband's report? (nm)
