Can you let us know what it turns out to be?
It would be interesting.

I'm battling skin staph or something right now myself. What a pain.

I've been sick with something ever since Misha died. Zapped my immune system, I think.
I'm having to take turns with DH, so
I'm only to chapter 7 so far.

It is so funny that he is the one who ordered it, but when the UPS man brought it he took the package and said, "Oh, HER book came." He couldn't admit to the UPS guy he ordered it for himself!

ROFL.

But I'm totally in denial that it's the last one. :op


Let us know how it turns out for you...nm
nm
I hope all turns out okay for you....nm

Mine was too. Turns out DH
changed us to decaf for I don't know how many days without telling me. Oh, because we ran out of regular coffee.

Grrrr!
you did not tell her she turns your stomach, right?
nm
Don't ask me how but "this" always turns to **** nm
nm
Well I'll let you know how it turns out
Since I ordered one, we'll see. Talked to hubby and he said he had talked to somone who actually has one and they think its great, they also heat with wood and use this to supplement at night, that's why he left the article.

I don't want to give up my wood and convert because its free and I love the smell (hubby cuts me hickory!) but I know someone who has a corn stove and they love it. I love my wood stove and wouldn't go back to central unless forced to, its the only time in my life I've been truly warm in the winter!
Wow, if this turns out to be right, I am really impressed!...nm

Turns out feds were looking
 for her too!  Boy did her business and life go to heck in a handbasket! 

 

Before this turns into a full blown....sm

back and forth free for all, you also don't know me personally to make assumptions about my personality. This has gotten old quickly, so I'll leave with these thoughts.


You expressed an opinion saying you were ill about her treatment which you thought was above and beyond.


I expressed an opinion, in turn, basically saying if you were in her situation you would want that same protection, considering it's very plausible that it's the obsessive fans and need to know that probably put her in this situation.


Opinions are opinions, facts are facts, and considering all the information any of us knows come from cutthroat reporters who are looking to make that big story, it would be rare if anyone knew any true story about a celeb.


I know if I were famous and hounded by people 24/7, and having a mental breakdown to boot, you can bet your bippy I'd do whatever in my power to make sure I had nobody around who could violate my privacy any more than it had already been violated.


As for the doctors getting suspended, if they weren't on her case, and it's not a teaching hospital, and if she has security, then it's for a reason, and they should have known better than to violate her privacy. Doctors can violate HIPAA just as easily as anyone else, and that's what they were doing, because it's also very possible that those same docs who just wanted a quick peek, probably couldn't keep it to themselves, or they wouldn't have been nosing in her business in the first place. They got less than they deserved.


Walk a mile in her shoes. Have sympathy and compassion in your heart for those who need it, which she obviously does!


There is usually a little button that doesnt look important that turns the LCD on and off
I know my Sony does as does my brothers that is a different brand

Good Luck !!!!
Great news! Hope it turns out well for you. nm

This season has been full of twists and turns! sm
Boy, what a goon Eric is!!!  I think he is such an innocent young man.  To trust those women, good grief!  I believe he is the only person ever to give up immunity in all the seasons of the show.  It was bad enough when James got voted off with two idols in his pocket, but I think last night with Eric handing over his power to those girls was insane.  He was dominating the game, yet he allowed himself to be sucked in.  Amanda has played a cool game with her manipulation of various players.  I can see her winning.  I cannot say I care much for the other two girls as winners at this point, but we shall see.  I will definitely be watching on Sunday! 
Question. Do many of you have problems with streets, turns, etc. driving at night in strange areas

you are not familiar with.  I am not thrilled by night driving in unfamiliar towns. 


Yep, we have it in our area.
Central PA, lots of Pennsylvania Dutch. My husband's family owns a butcher shop and they make and sell a lot of scrapple.  I personally don't like it.  And yes, I do believe it is made from scraps.  I can double check if anyone REALLY wants to know.  LOL!
I don't know what area you are from, but..
around here you can buy gift cards from grocery stores that give gas perks and earn points towards getting cheaper gas. A lot of them sell a wide variety of giftcards.
KC area
We live in the Kansas City area, my daughter's school had a threatening note found in the bathroom,now have metal detectors and police on campus, another county close by had all schools shut down due to bomb threat, but get this, the person suspected is not a kid, he is 47 years old. In the last 1-1/2 days, have had 4 schools in this area shut down because of bomb threats. It is getting too scary to even send your child to school, can you imagine what it is going to be like in another 10 years?
NMB area, what area are you in..?


Don't know if available in your area but...
you may want to check at your local WalMart for a NET 10 phone.  In our area the NET 10 is a lot cheaper, .10 a minute compared to .25 a minute, and NET 10 and Trac are both made and serviced by the same company.  May be different in your area, but worth a look?  We tried the Trac phones first because we did not know about NET 10.  The NET 10 phones are much better quality, they cost just a little more, and they seem to pick up in more areas, we have a lot of mountains.  You can even go to the website and buy minutes, NET10.com.  With the prepaid phones, it sure teaches the kids how to manage minutes, they hate to carry my phone if they run out.  Costs me about $15.00 a month per phone because once the minutes are up, they have to wait until new airtime is due to get more minutes.  Trac and NET 10 both do roll over unused minutes not used when you buy new airtime.  Even our local dollar store carries the airtime cards, and once set up it is easy to add minutes.  Just make sure you add minutes by the due date or you have to call the company and have the phone reset.  That can be a pain. 
area
It was at a place called Riverside park in a very populated area.
I'm in FL too but in an area where they don't do this.

I'm in Miami-Dade for 30 years and they don't paddle here in the public schools nor do they make you write 100-200 times the same sentence.  Yes, the school system after elementary school is absolutely awful here, but they don't paddle.  My kids went through the entire system here and came out FINE....though the entire time, even in elementary school, there were 40+ kids in every classroom....and is another reason why the system here is awful.....My kids were never late to school and got awards for attendance until getting to HS.  Things changed then but they got over it and are pushing 30 and are well-rounded hard-working individuals.....Their best education was obtained in the home, I must say in this particular case.  *grins*



Is there a dog rescue in your area?
I would call them ASAP. They will probably know exactly what is going on with her. They may have meds to treat her too.

any MTs in Shelbyville, KY area?
x
are you in Louisville, KY area?
Our soon-to-grad daughter will be relocating to that area and needs to find a home ASAP, preferably in surrounding countryside, where she can keep a horse and dogs, etc.  Do you know of anything that might not be on the market yet, for example? A very good realtor?  thanks.
Rural area also
I also live in a rural area and have a farm. Unfortunately a lot of people are moving to this area and since it is rural, decide that they can let their dogs "roam free" which means I have a lot of livestock killed.  The owners, when notified, say that their baby could not possibly be responsible for the carnage and refuse to pay.  I lost $4,000 worth of registered pregnant ewes (not counting the value of the fetal lambs)  in one evening to a black lab which I shot and killed.  Now I don't bother to give the owners a warning, I just shoot every dog that I find on my property unless it's something like a toy poodle.
$3.19 in Louisville area
but our gas is supposedly "increased" because of the Derby this weekend. Yesterday afternoon I saw it for $2.98 and was not able to stop and get it then. Planned to on the way home. Three to four hours later - it was $3.19!! - just like the rest.
When is school out in your area? sm
It's Friday here for the Atlanta area.  One child is eager for the last day to arrive and the other doesn't want to school to end because she'll miss seeing her friends each day.
Tx, will check them out in my area. NM

We are also fortunate here in our area...
we have a small (1500 sf) home, 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, will be remodeling the bath and kitchen in the next year and adding 2 rooms upstairs. We live on 15 acres, have a 4-stall horse barn, a shop, a beautiful view, live in the country, mortgage is only 1100 a month and property taxes are less than 1000 a year. My dh only paid 185,000 for the place and it is now appraised at over 350,000. Used to live in California, so know the whole story about home prices there. We have Californians who migrate here and buy houses sometimes just by seeing a picture on the internet, never even come up to look at it in person.
Could you just put a blanket or something over that area?
?
Anyone in the Houston area? sm

I've been wanting to share this story with you guys for a while now, but just haven't. Anyways, as a mom with young boys, this breaks my heart.  A local 15 year old boy was diagnosed on June 1 with a brain stem glioma. He is the son of a local pastor and their family is just precious.  They are believing that their son will be healed, but he's got such a long road.  He's undergoing experimental treatment in Houston (they just arrived tonight) and will be there for 3 weeks.  Insurance won't cover this since it's experimental.  He was such a lively young boy before all of this.  Anyways, if you are in Houston I'd love to chat with you  - maybe if you belong to a large church or something like that - you could help me in some way.  Thanks!


 


 


Do you have ask a nurse in your area?
I don't believe this is mental illness... it could be something else. In my area, you can call the local hospital's ask a nurse for free advice, and believe me they are there not to get more business, but to give good medical advice in case you need to really see someone. Bipolar is different. SOunds like getting older mixed with stress. I know I am that age with small children and I forget my glasses are on my head! But you definitely should seek medical advice because he might have a form of dementia, not necessarily Alzheimer, but maybe something which can take medication, vitamins, or a certain type of balanced diet with stress training. Good luck!
He was here in our area last night. sm
I didn't get to go (tears). His opening act is Little Big Town my new fav. band. I am doubly jealous. Hope your have a terrrrific time!
Sorry I am not familar with your area sm
but I was wondering why you don't want her to use Accutane?
Is there an SPCA in your area?...sm
or even the Humane Society.  Either one would more than likely help the poor pup out.  If the "owners" don't do something and someone else reports it, they could face huge fines and charges of animal cruelty and neglect.  I really think either one of those places will help w/o taking the animal from them, especially if they tell them it was a stray they took in.  They often will even throw in a bag of dog food, too.  I hope all works out for them.  I think, also, the Humane Society offers vet care at a discounted price, maybe based on income, I'm not sure. 
They said they weren't available in my area...
I don't understand that at all!
No, not in that area. But just shows that this goes on everywhere. nm

$3.50 a box in our area. It does vary
from place to place.
Is he local to your area?
I've never been in this situation, but if he's newly widowed, perhaps a casserole and a card would be more practical for him than a plant or flowers?

If he's not in your immediate area, maybe you could send him some type of food/snack basket.

I don't know why I keep thinking in the direction of food. I guess I assume being newly widowed and apparently elderly, he might not be in a suitable frame of mind to take care of his nutritional needs. There are so many heartbreaking stories of an elderly spouse passing, and the one left behind simply stops taking care of their own needs and pass shortly thereafter.

I'm not good at dealing with situations involving death, so maybe my suggestions totally suck and someone will have some better advice.

I hope your niece is holding up okay.
One cannot use Botox around the lip area
because it can cause the muscles around the mouth to not work right. I know because I have used Botox on my forehead and have also gone the plastic surgery route, both in facelift, breast lift, tummy tuck, and arm lifts. I do not believe in accepting aging gracefully. I hate bags under the eyes, sagging chin, drooping breasts and so on.
Do you have kijiji.com in your area? sm
I had a brindle chihuahua that was getting to be more than our family could handle. I listed him on kijiji, which is a free classified ad service, and sold him within one day. At least in my area, there are always younger and older cats and dogs, some free, some for high prices, but also many like I just sold. Just a thought.
$2.04 in the Atlanta area. It was $2.15 last week. nm
.
Think it greatly depends on the area
you live in.  I was paying $25 30 years ago in Reno, Nevada; now charged $15 in small town Northern California - of course hairdressers and MTs have both lost wages in the last 10-15 years because of SuperCuts and outsourcing in my opinion.  I was charged $15 my last cut and she did such a fantastic job I gave her $25 just to make up for all the bad cuts I have gotten and to let her know how much I appreciated her!
In our area, there is a program called
"Mended Hearts".  I am not sure if this is nationwide, but there are volunteers that will come out who have had the surgery, and they talk about how far they've come.  Another option, I guess would be cardiac rehab, and I am wondering if that would lend some support as maybe he feels a little alone in his quest?  Best of luck and hope he finds his way soon. 
Disney area restaurants??
I'm going to Disney World with my family next week and would love to have some opinions on restaurants close or in the parks. A friend of mine told me about some restaurant where they "throw" food at you and the servers are kinda silly, but she couldn't remember the name of the place. I have an 8 y/o daughter and this is our first trip to Disney World, so would love to make it as fun as possible. Thanks for any suggestions!
There is a funeral in our area this weekend for ...
a soldier killed in Iraq and just found out those wonderful people from Kansas are planning to attend. 
I have lived in the area for over 40 years
and I know exactly where this is and I drive the freeways all the time, including the HOV (which is a lane for more than 1 person in a vehicle to use or a motorcycle driver). The lanes are to the left-hand side of the others and the bus driver apparently took the wrong lane. Ther are 2 there that run side by side, 1 goes straight on thru Atlanta and the 1 he took is the exit lane and apparently exiting at a high rate of speed (i.e. your average speed on the freeways) he was totally unable to make the stop at the top of the freeway. There are 2 lanes there, 1 directly ahead and the 1 he took has a stop sign at the top for a turn either right or left. So unfortunate for these people and our hearts have gone out to them.
call some relators in your area and have them - sm
come out to your house and appraise it. They do this for free (in the hopes of getting the listing). This way you can meet a couple of them, see who you like, have an idea of the value and when you are ready to sell then give the one you liked the most a call and get it listed.
Again - We live in a very rural area
Our cats were not only our pets, they served a purpose too. We have fields all around the house and the cats kept mice out of the barns and out of our house. We had our cats for 10+ years and they did just fine until SILs dogs moved back to town with her.

My animals are all checked regularly by the vet because we live on a farm. They probably see the vet more often than I visit the doctor for my checkups.

It is unbelievable how many nasty witches come out on this board when a person asks for a suggestion to help with a problem.

Everyone is such an animal lover but so quick to kill an animal or cut off ties with a family member because of an animal. Talk about double standards.

She loves her dogs like they are her children.

Not one single person who has responded with a nasty comment even came close to making a suggestion that would satisfy.

KILL THE DOG! DON'T GET ANY MORE CATS! That's it?

A friend just suggested that the SIL's dogs be kept in a kennel/dog run if she absolutely must keep her dogs up here.

WOW! How's that for a humane solution.

For all of you out there who were so nasty. Try to put this in perspective.

Since she cares for her dogs like they were her children, think of it that way.

I may not like her dogs because the one killed my cats but I was trying to be mindful of how she felt about her dogs too, as I feel about my children.
