If you are worried, call a different vet.

I think diabetes is hard to deal with when the dog won't eat properly. There are so many variables that I think you should call a different vet. Good luck!

worried
Is there anyone in her family that it can be reported to so they can get her some help. Help is definitely required!! May be you can talk to her and see if she would be willing to go to counseling. What about even asking her doctor for samples because she cannot afford. most docs will do that.
I got a little worried
when she did that last kick at the end, it looked she hurt herself. We rewound it a couple of times and it definitely looked like pain on her face.

I would have like to see her perform alone. Not a big fan of Beyonce
I was worried as well...
For the same reasons, I thought the chinese girl was going to take it all the way with the way they were scoring our girls but in the end the judges came through thankfully!!
Has me worried too.

more than a little worried
I have been watching my 403B get smaller and smaller. At this rate I will be working until I am 75! I know all the reasons to keep the money invested, buy low, sell high, etc., etc., but every time I get my statements I just want to cry.
Would you be worried
Would you be worried if at 13 your daughter had a lot of friends who are boys?  My daughter also has a couple female friends but not around this area.  I am working so I can't take her someplace... all she wants to do today is hang out with boys.  She is downstairs in the kitchen now making lunch for the 2 neighbor boys because I told her she couldn't go out for pizza with them.  These kids are driving me crazy today!  What would you do?
They should be more worried about the effects
especially in a larger state such as California.  Smoking is an addiction, but I personally feel that there more of a problem with obesity.  People are trying to quit smoking, but are they really trying to quit eating?  JMO.  What someone does on their own property, whether it be an apartment, townhome, etc., is their own business as long as there are no laws broken. 
I think even Simon is getting worried
He said if Sanjaya wins he will quit. He must be getting a lot of votes. Even Howard Stern is pushing people to vote for the kid.
He treats you like that and you are worried about where he
w
You are so welcome!! I was also worried about the smell,
especially since I noticed it was also for horse manes, but it sure did help our hair. So glad it helped your little one!! :)
I'm in CA and was up all night worried ...
that I might have to evacuate because of the fires here. My kids are scared. My cell service is down so can't call my PS  So, I emailed her early this morning to let her know I might have to be evacuated and if so won't be able to work.  No answer.  Emailed her supervisor.  No answer.  Luckily, (so far) we haven't had to evacuate, but I am sooooooo tired from staying up all night with worry and from getting prepared in case we do have to leave.  On top of that, I feel I have to work since I didn't get a reply.  So I'm trying. 

 

So, whatever.  Who cares if I get a reply.  But then I started thinking, wow, they REALLY just don't care.  It's not like I'm suprised, of course, but still, when something like this happens it really just make you feel bad .    I'm just trying to console myself thinking that maybe they are just too busy or both of them didn't get my 2 separate emails. 

 

In comparison, my sister, who works for local huge defense company.....Let's see, her supervisor called HER 3 times already to see how her family was and gave her (and other employees affected)  the entire week off WITH pay.   I don't expect that much, but even a call to say it's okay to take a PTO day would have been nice.

 

 

 

 

I would be worried about illness.
Especially with such a drastic change from the kid he was. As an example, schizophrenia's usual age of onset for men is age 16-20 and is accompanied by many of the same behavior you mention.

Certainly, if he had some other serious illness he may be trying to consciously or unconsciously push you away or alienate you rather than tell you what is going on.

I dunno, it just seems that there should be a compelling reason (illness/substance abuse) for a personality change this huge out of the blue.

Good luck with this, my prayers are with you.
Worried about autism.

Hey everyone, I was just hoping someone with experience in autism can either confirm or shoot down some fears for me.  My mother says that she is 90% sure my son has autism, and although we have had concerns before she mentioned anything, the doc said a couple of months ago to wait until he is 2.  He is 22 months now and his next appointment is next month. This has really been worrying my spouse and I recently and I was just hoping for some input.


My son shows some definite red flags, but at the same time seems perfectly normal.  For instance:


RED FLAGS:  (1) His speech is pretty delayed.  He will say "uh oh" and "daddy" and a few other words, but nothing else really and it is near impossible to get him to say any of the words he knows with prompting.  He babbles jibberish constantly, however.  (2)  Sometimes it seems like he is ignoring us, but this is usually when he is occupied with something else.  Sometimes he will look at us to his name, sometimes not.  It does appear that he is deaf at times.  (3)  He never points at anything that he wants or is interested in.  He will either get it himself or drag us by the finger to whatever he wants.  (4)  He lines objects up.  They are never in any particular order or color and he doesn't get upset when we mix them up or take away one of the objects, however, they are usually the same type of object, ie. cars, dvd cases, blocks. (5) He won't give kisses or hugs when asked, however, does without being asked every once in awhile, hugs much more than kisses.  (6)  Compared to other children, he seems very behind in listening and really interacting with others.


NORMAL BEHAVIOR:  (1)  He loves other people and children and will often act silly if someone comes over to our house, showing off.  He will bring out toys that he hasn't played with for awhile.   (2)  He isn't afraid to look us or others in the eyes and always has a ready smile.  (3)  He loves to cuddle and has no problem with it unless he wants to play.  (4)  If one of us pretends to cry or if he accidently smacks a friend who is his age and they cry, he will look concerned and give them or us a hug (and a kiss if we are lucky.)  (5)  He plays with his toys for the most part how they should be played with and gives his favorite stuffed bear rides in his trucks.  (6)  He has no problems with schedule changes and loves to go places different.  (7) He has no repetitive movements with his hands or body, at least none we have noticed.


After actually listing these things, I feel a little more at ease, however the red flags are pretty strong and are very apparent on a day to day basis, especially his speech.  I'm thinking he is somewhere on that spectrum at least.  Thanks for listening as this has been the cause of some tears lately. 


Are you worried about our economy?
so many jobs moved offshore, banks failing, mortgages being defaulted on. It's got me a little worried.
I am seriously worried about Paula Deen

Every time I see her on her show, she looks bigger and bigger.

Poor lady, she is so sweet, I really like her show, but she just uses an obscene amount of butter... so so fattening. I don't see how she going to make it, eating the way she does. Yikes.

Everything she makes looks delicious but I know I can't make or eat any of it!




I am so worried. Anyone have this experience? My 5 year old son sm

has been caught putting on his 2 year old brother's diapers. He got up in the middle of the night the other night and I caught him. He got embarrassed. He does it during the day behind locked doors. He does not wet his bed. I kept finding clean, used diapers around the house and thought I was losing my mind.


I am not comfortable discussing this with pediatrician yet. He's been doing it for about 2 weeks.  I can't imagine what this could be. He gets really embarrassed if I try talking to him about it. He clearly knows it is not right. He has no faults at all - plays baseball, very boyish young child - and then this creeps up.  Anyone out there know what this could be?


Only idiots who can't read need to be worried

It clearly says you shouldn't take them with high-fat meals.


I've been taking them for 2 weeks now and have not had any such effects.  I'm not on a super low-fat diet, I just use common sense.


 


Gotta admit -- I was a little worried

Not because I doubted their abilities, but because it seemed like in the first rotation or 2, they were showing some serious bias to the Chinese.  Shawn Johnson's balance beam was way better than Ying Yilan's and yet her score was ranked higher (not talking about the difficulty value, just the execution score) Even the commentators last night were talking about it.  Nastia's uneven bars got a lower score than it deserved as well.  I'm glad to see the judges got their heads out of their you-know-whats for the last 2 rotations and gave these girls the scores they deserved. 


I do feel somewhat bad for the Chinese girl, though.  I hope she doesn't lose a few fingers or toes over this.  Of course as young as she is, I'm sure she'd recover quickly.     That's something else that seemed strange to me, the American girls seemed very emotional and yet the Chinese - nothing (at least not last nice).  Could that be because our girls have a few more hormones running through them, like any normal 16-year-old would? Hmmmm


Should I be worried about my 8 year-old's reaction? sm
Last night my 11 year old son and 8 year old daughter were watching one of those rescue shows on TV....they had just show a little girl being found safely on the beach after wandering a couple of miles away from her parents. Then they started the story of an 11 or 12 year old boy....I had no idea they would ever have a rescue show on TV if it had been unsuccessful but the boy died!  My daughter was devastated.  It was almost bedtime, no less, so I held her a while and she cried and I consoled her.  Then I took her to tuck her in and said prayers and sang to her like every night...but she told me she was feeling really strange inside because of the show she had seen.  I tried to calm her down by staying with her and rubbing her back and continuing to sing but she started shaking really hard...and continued to shake.  I told her that I had looked up the story on the internet and that it wasn't a true story (a lie to try to make her feel better), and she was glad, but she continued to shake. So I took her to the other room and rocked her for about an hour (which of course I have not done much of in the last 7 years or so).  She fell asleep and then I went to put her in her bed and she started shaking again.  The shaking was so bad that I could feel it through her covers!!  She is just a tiny little girl!  She said the shaking was so bad it was making her legs and back hurt :(  I ended up taking her to my room and letting her sleep with me but I am concerned that she would get upset to that point.  I know the show was sad, but is it normal for a child to shake like that?  It really scared me!
Worried, horrific rib pain (I think) and wondered
if anyone else has ever had this, what did it turn out to be. I was diagnosed with fibro but this is really unbearable. Any thoughts?
Isn't life kind of short to be worried
probably peanuts compared to what we make working.  Do you really think people on disability live the good life?  JMO.
You're worried about the mother? Doesn't sound like she did a very good job herself! nm

Are you the Anon who was worried abt possibly violence or hubby taking your kids? m
Best of luck to you for taking the steps to change your life. I wish you well.
You should call....sm
an attorney that deals with bankruptcies and ask them what you can do in this situation and they should be able to help you for a minimal cost.

In most states, if your husband's name is not on the credit card account they cannot go after his credit or try to force him to pay your bill... and vice versa.

For a reality check - the credit card company can seize your bank account and incoming deposits to one, force your employer/clients to turn over money designated for you to them for the debt. If you don't present some sort of offer to pay them a reasonable amount every month then they may choose to do the above things to you and legally can. However, if you can show the courts you can pay "x" a month and the judge thinks it's OK then they wouldn't be able to garnish any monies due to you.

Since you mentioned that you only work part-time, they'll probably suggest that you take on a full-time job to pay this debt.


Call them
Your best bet is to call and tell them what your situation is, that you want to work out a solution with them. Even if you have to refinance with them to get payments lower to a level you can afford, it will be worth it - don't default if you can help it. Nowadays, it can raise your car insurance rates, affect new employment opportunities, etc.

Besides, paying it back is the right thing to do. It will let you keep your self respect.
My dog does it too..but we call them
"kitty biscuits," LOL.  Either way it's gross.  He's been doing it forever, and we can't seem to break him of this habit. 
call
I would definitely call them as well. Had this happen and reversed as well. I know there is one cc company that refuses to do that and it happens to be Discover. Many other companies have reversed this for me. Please call and say you thought you paid it off so whats this!
call that b*tch!!
just kidding! :) This is such normal behavior for teenagers, I always told my girls that I coached that college is completely different than high school and there would be MANY changes, no matter how "in love" they thought they were... It is a sad reality, and unfortunately I am not a mom yet but know that when I am I will be dealing with this. I think the only thing you can tell him is the old saying "time heals all wounds" although it doesnot SEEM like he will EVER get over it by the way he is feeling right now, promise him he will. there are better things out there and everything happens for a reason!!! And you said they haven't officially "broken up" yet... you know what's coming obviously... and this is in no way a way to treat someone you love. She is just trying to get out of it easy. good luck, heartbreak is hard. I'm 27 and still go through it :)
Call the guy and ask nm
x
Thanks .. will just call them and see
if I can remove some of the extra charges and go forward. I did not owe much of anything to anyone and then changed jobs and the fun began! I really don't have that much faith in a third party and I learned that from transcription!
sorry- not what I would call fun either
If I get the chance mine will have a fun time at my house!
Can I just call them?
a
Just call me
Simon!!
Call someone now.
I went through the same situation with my father for 8 years (bedridden, dementia, strokes, etc.) and grandfather during those same 8 years and 1 year after that. I got help from my doctor, general practitioner. She is a good listener and knew exactly the direction to guide me for help. I was neglecting my health while taking care of others. I remember one time taking my grandfather to a doctor appointment and asked them to check my blood pressure. It was extremely high and they did not want to let me leave the office. I had to sign a waiver stating that I knew the risks but I also promised to see my physician, which I did immediately. I am now on medications for hypertension, hypothyroidism, depression, and cholesterol. Please take care of yourself now.
I would call.
They might be waiting to see what applicants show a true interest in the job. Doesn't hurt to have your name out there to be noticed and remembered...better than being lost in the shuffle. I wouldn't call again after that though.
God says to call sin for what it is.

Please call someone!
Call your local suicide prevention hotline. Even if you are not suicidal at the moment, with all that is going on in your life, that could change at any moment. At the very least they will point you to some resources that will help you. The most difficult thing to do is ask for help, but you really need to. If you don't want to call the hotline, try your local United Way office, they have many solutions that could possibly help you through the emergency until you can get back on your feet. You are in my heart and in my prayers. Reach out and let someone help you... please....
And what do you call yourself in
a marriage where the love is gone, the happiness is gone and you want out? I call it loneliness. I do not need a man to make me happy or to take care of me. My life is very happy because I got out of a loveless marriage.

Your statement makes no sense to be but then again, I am very secure in myself.
and they call that...
insurance fraud. If ever found out that you have withheld information, they will cancel your policy anyway. They are like the IRS. They have ways of finding things out. They can check your prescription records and find that docs name if he prescribed something. Once they find out a doc's name, that's it. Sorry to keep contradicting you, but insurance companies are ruthless. They want your money, but they don't want to pay out. If they find just one thing that was concealed from them, that's it. It's all over.
ok, well whatever you want to call him...but I think sm
feeling up a 8 or 9 year old and a 12 or 13 year old is a form of molestation. My mother's stepfather didn't actually rape her until she was 15. But he felt her up from the time he married her mother, when she was 7. My stepfather never did anything like that to me at all. But my creepy neighbor did. He spent a lot of time helping me learn to walk on my hands when I was 11 or 12 - I realized later it was so he could look up my shorts and so when my shirt would flop up, he could see my barely growing boobies. He moved away. Five years later he showed up at my house acting like a crazy maniac, in love with me. they get obsessed with young girls. Call him a scumbag, a pervert, a molester, or whatever. It's wrong.
Call CPS. Everybody knows they
do a terrific job and always show good judgment.  Wrong.  Oftentimes they yank kids out of stable homes because the enlightened and politically correct think that spanking is barbaric, make a quick phone call, and loving parents who are trying to discipline their children get sent to jail.  Beating is one thing and spanking is another.  I very much doubt that if the kid pulls the kind of antics you have described that his father is beating him.  Also, if the father was beating him, do you think he would have chosen "the stick" over losing hockey?  You most probably don't know what you are talking about and you should just butt out.  Different people parent differently.  Some kids need spanked, some don't.  Be thankful that your kid has a disposition such that it is not required.  Mind your own business unless you know he is being ABUSED.  The trouble you cause could be not easily undone. 
Think a bit before you call CPS. You might want

to ask the kid exactly what the "stick" is before you jump to conclusions. He picked it, maybe he can handle it.


My daughter has some friends who have a son. The child, while very young, had a medical condition that was hard to diagnose, resulted in bruising of the body, some failure to thrive, etc. A neighbor thought the child was being abused, called the authorities and because at the time (10 years ago) the couple wasn't as responsible as they are now (some partying, not that great housekeeping) the child was taken away because of neglect. He and his wife were put in jail; once the other prisoners found out why he was in there they literally beat him to a pulp for supposed child abuse. He has plates in his head and face and is on permanent disability. Come to find out the child had some medical condition that was so very rare and caused the bruising and FTT. After about 6 months of a living h*ll, the authorities apologized to this guy and his wife and their child was given back to them.


Get as many facts as you can before making that call.  


Call them

If your apartment is individually metered, it probably is something as simple as they read the meter wrong.  I had that happen at a job one time and the meter was 1000 and they read it as 10,000.  They corrected it quite quickly for me.


This should be something that is fairly easily corrected once you get them on the phone.


I don't think I would call it

So much as I would call it in love with one's spouse...


I do feel that if my husband and I divorced or were otherwise separated, I'd be completely lost, like I were missing a part of my body...a very important part. He is honestly my other half, I know no matter what happens, he will be there. It's wonderful to have someone that you know is coming home to you every day after work. To have someone to hash things out with, bounce ideas off of...and it's even better cause you're both on the same page, wanting the same things out of life.


It's funny cause my husband and I talked about the "what ifs" this weekend...what if we got divorced? what if one of us died? I couldn't imagine living my life without my husband. I love him and wouldn't want to go on without him...


What else would you call them
Making up cutesy little names for body parts is just silly. Especially since we don't do it for other parts of the body like the arms, legs, etc. Tell it like it is. So what if the girls goes up and says I have a vagina or I have a penis, their kids and their learning. Calling it anything else is almost like your hiding it and embarrassed that you have one. As MTs we should not be embarrassed when the word vagina or penis is mentioned.
call the
I would contact cesar milan from that show because he has a whole compound of pit bulls and likes to rescue them.
That 911 call
Umm.... I need some firefighters...

Dispatch: Why? What seems to be the problem?

Unlucky One: Umm.... My 'cat's' up his tree....
you need to call AA
If he is sick enough you could take him to ER and have him request treatment and they can handle it from there.

Al-Anon for your sister since she was raised by an alcoholic and married one, so she is going to need some help adjusting to everything also.

Keep the little kids away from the AA clubs. Really super duper nice people DO NOT attend AA. Don't be too trusting to the eager babysitters you will find there!

If he ever feels better again, healthy, or happy, it will be a miracle, and more than likely he will always be somewhat miserable on some level because of his illness. It can be incredibly difficult to live with someone recovering from addiction because as much as he was "away drinking" physically or emotionally, he will be "away recovering" physically or emotionally.

Her kids are her future and my advice would be to make sure that they have everything they need emotionally and physically and NOT to neglect them because Dad is sick. She should invest as as much as possible in her kids to terminate this cycle, so they grow up healthy and happy and not marry alcoholics or become alcoholics themselves.
Call Waiting
Hi everyone...does anyone know the code to turn off call waiting before making a call?  I forget...it's been a while.  TIA!
Call me not intelligent

In September I cosigned on an apartment for my niece and her friend.  At the time I had been to the ER three times with 102+ temp, then went in the hospital for about 2 weeks (know that is no excuse).  I actually do not remember signing the lease and believe me if I had read it I never would have let her sign because it has so any restrictions..  To make  a long story short, they have now moved out and the lease says in order to break it, they must pay 893 plus 2 months rent (another 1200 total).  Well guess who the sucker is left holding the bill on this one?  My niece says she has no money and won't even ask the other girl for her half.  Just a warning do not ever cosign anything unless you want to pay in the long run - I either pay or it goes on my credit - anybody have any suggestions or any ideas if I can do anything else without going broke?


Thanks


Phone call of the day ....sm

ME:  Hello?


CALLER:  Hello, does anyone at your home speak English?


ME:  What?  Of course I speak English.  I was born and raised in the US and speak no other language.  Why do you ask?


CALLER:  I'm so sorry ma'am.  This is Jody with the Police Benevelance fund and we'd like to ask for a contribution for.....


ME (immediately cutting her off):  Ma'am, how dare you have the audacity to call my home, ask me if I speak English and then want to ask me for a donation?  Donkeys would fly before I'd give your organization a penny as you have now totally insulted me, a bona-fide English speaking American Citizen - one without an accent other than being Southern. 


Can you believe it?  My husband stood there shaking his head as I let into this lady.   It's bad enough to call somewhere and hear "press 1 for English, 2 for Spanish...." but to have someone call you and ask if you speak English is absurd.
