Intercome w/multiple units or several baby monitors might do it. You could put a bell or whistle on

Baby monitors are a good idea....(sm)
Baby monitors are a good idea because they are alot more cost effective than the alternative intercom system in each room. You can get dual monitors and place them in various rooms and use the cordless monitor for yourself to hear what's going on in whatever room she is in. They make those portable cordless monitors for parents now to carry around while 'baby' is sleeping, so they can actually get stuff done around the house and outside the house. This might work very well. I also like the idea of the other poster who said to rig up a doorbell. I think this would work very well too. I definitely would try it. Either of these alarms would help out with giving you and your mother some peace of mind. Please let us know what you come up with.
Have a great day! :)
Whistle blower! My grandma always blew the whistle in their ears. nm

You sound like one of the monitors here.

I'm sorry - maybe should not have posted this - monitors (sm)
If this is offensive would you remove it please? Sorry - thanks
A whistle kept by the phone always worked for me!
//
If you whistle, it makes the Virgin Mary Cry
(I've had worse things come out of my mouth.)
That's exactly why I never buy the combo units
One thing breaks on it, you're stuck and have to buy a new one. I know many people that has happened to.
Once I lived near some storage units
So a friend and I rented a storage unit for the month, took all our stuff there, made up signs, and set them out by the corner when and if we were ready to sell. It was definitely worth the rent on the unit. When we weren't in the mood to sell, the stuff stayed locked up and dry and didn't have to be handled again and again.
transferred two units of blood
what did she type
Should be "transfused 2 units of blood."
Where would you be transferring it from?? It's being transfused into the body.
You can also try hanging a bell...sm
On the doorknob of the door you let the dog out of if you don't want them to scratch the door. Then teach them to lift their paw to hit the bell as a way of them letting you know they need out (or they can touch it with their nose to make the noise if you'd rather they do that).
Just lift their paw up and do it for them at first, praising them and/or giving a tiny treat each time, then open the door and go out, and pretty soon they'll figure it out.
One of our dogs figured it out a little too well, and he was soon hitting the bell again and again, very loudly and impatiently every time he just wanted out just to play, so we didn't leave the bell up for long after he was housebroken! LOL
I also agree with the crate training advice you were given. Crates are wonderful tools as long as they're used responsibly. A crate for a dog is sort of like a crib for a baby, IMO.
You also might want to consider something called "clicker training." I'm not an expert on it, but I've done a litte bit and it's fun. (You can use it to train your cats too, BTW!)
Here's a really good article I found for you on housebreaking. It's for puppies and older dogs:

Best of luck with the training. Enjoy your new addition to the family, and please give updates! 
Definitely Ring My Bell.....
it just goes on and on and on
Certainly rings a bell
We had a big yellow lab named Smooch (had been a stray) with the same problem. It's amazing what they will bust in and out of due to their extreme anxiety.
He was also terrified of storms and would become zombie like hours before a storm would hit. We couldn't even get him to eat meat during those spells.
He died several years ago, but he was one of the sweetest dogs ever. When someone would lie on the couch, he would stretch out right on top of them (and he was a big boy!).
I think crating would be your best bet if you get him used to it while you are home with him first. That really wasn't being done back when we had Smooch (at least we didn't hear of it).
Maybe you could also get him a big stuffed animal that would make him feel he had company too. As a very last resort you might be able to get some medication for specific times you know will be extra difficult.
I would type, "transferred 2 units of blood."
Some questions for you--it may ring a bell
Do you get headaches when this happens? How long do these sweats last for and how often do you get them? What's your BP normally?
I have a reason for asking, I promise.
I love Bell's Seasoning mixed in with mine.
...along with the ol' standby's of mayo, onions, black pepper, and I line my bread with cranberry sauce.
Now I'm really really really hungry!
The bell is a great idea! My niece's cattle dog learned to SM
ring the bell in 2 days and has done it ever since. It is adorable. If no one lets her out right away she looks around and takes that leg and swings it and hits it the second time. It is a wonderful idea.
Multiple cats, see inside
I have multiple cats due to being involved in cat rescue. Hope I can help. I have several with irritable bowel and they are on a special diet, otherwise get diarrhea. I do the separate room thing and also have what we call Tokyo cages, but in the catalogs, like Foster and Smith and Revival, they are called cat playpens. The cats with problems get put in separate rooms or cages to eat and have to stay until the rest have finished theirs. This way when they come, there is nothing left for them to steal. That is for wet food. As far as dry, I free feed and have found that the Iams Hairball seems to work well for all of them. I don't know what you are feeding, wet or dry, but hope this helps some. Also, check with the vet, maybe this sensitivity is something that can be taken care of with some medicine or a diet additive. One poster said put them all on the same thing as the sensitive cat which is not a bad idea either. Hope this was of some help, couldn't help myself from posting, I am a major cat lover.
and neither are others who have been married multiple times. nm

I had multiple ones burned off 10 years ago....
I had a dermatologist burn off about 30 in the neck-clavicular area about 10 years ago. Those have not returned but new ones have in same area.
My advice is to NOT CUT THEM OFF YOURSELF!! My child has a big one, sent to my plastic surgery friend to take it off.
Multiple Generations on Facebook
Both my adult children don't want me as their friend on facebook. I'm not sure if it's because they don't want me seeing their page and all their friends' pages, or if they just find it weird to be friends with their mommy. Either way, I only have a very select group of friends on my facebook page, and I still don't see the point of visiting it much. I'm only in my early 40's, but apparently my long-lost friends either want to stay that way or are too old for Facebook themselves.
But Twitter still totally confuses me. What is it *supposed* to do?
I feel sorry for people having multiple miscarriages
Many women do not know this but if one has multiple miscarriages, it COULD be a rheumatological problem, autoimmune problem and not just a gynecological problem. I used to work for a rheumatologist and typed many, many of these types of reports and so I just think that women either *forget* about the field of rheumatology or don't know about the field regarding multiple miscarriages, so I'm merely here to *inform*
*hugs* 2 all who have experienced miscarriages - and best of luck to all!
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)
My sister has multiple cats who require differnt foods. sm
She feeds them in separate rooms. She gives them 1 hour in the morning and 1 hour in the evening to eat. The overweight cat has become beautifully normal-weighted over the past year. They all do well with this arrangement as cats are only munchers cause we keep the food available all the time. I actually started restricting food times for my cats as well and they are all doing great. Hope this helps.
I have to have front tooth removed after multiple apicos on it and it just keeps reinfecting. The
tooth next to it is also not the best having had surgeries so bridging is not an option. These teeth were broken when I was a kid. Any suggestions other than an implant for the space. This is quite upsetting as I have spent a fortune on these 2 front teeth.
Considering her face was broken multiple times by Ike Turner, a facelift is certainly excusable. nm

New baby on the way.
Congratulations!!!!!! Hope you have a beautiful, healthy baby. I lost my first baby and it was 4 years before I tried again. I also think about the baby I lost, I don't think that ever goes away. I am proud to have two girls now to enjoy. Take pleasure in each moment. Enjoy!
I just want him to baby me
I am a female have been married to my husband for a year and 7 months, (no kids yet) and ever since I have been married I feel like I am babying him. I am more affectionate to him, I always want to cuddle with him, always worried about him and feel like I don't want to lose him. we have a great relationship open and honost. But sometimes I want him to run after me, to show me affection, to take care of me to feel like he is scared to lose me. I want him to tell me that I wanna go out with you with out any friends just the both of us, I just want him to baby me like I baby him. what do I do? trust me I have tried talking to him, but you see I don't want to tell him these things I want him to do it on his own. I go to school 2 times a week in the evenings and I always have to beg him to pick me up from school, I want him to tell me that he wants to pick me up. how do I go about? please help.
The baby's name is
Dannylynn Hope Marshall Stern. I think the move to Bahamas was Stern's idea and I think he is sly like a fox, i.e. the main players mother and son out of the way and now the baby who he is laying claim to with the name of Marshall in there (deceased husband's name). If you are the real father, you would demand to have paternity testing- we all know this is something he has tried (unsuccessfully thank goodness) to stop. The courts supposedly giving DNA results this past Tuesday but nothing yet. It would be a big shocker if the husband who died (Marshall) turned out to be the really father, wouldn't it? Can we say invitro?
My baby Fox isn't doing well.
He hasn't felt well for several days, but it seemed that every time we decided okay, we definitely need to take him to the vet, he would improve a little.
But today my son was getting ready to leave the house and Fox usually runs after him, barking, to try to get him not to leave. Fox started barking, but he couldn't get up. He was on the carpet, not the wood or the tile. He just could not get up.
So I took him to the vet and she examined him. He has arthritis in both his knees because of the surgery he had when he was younger (for patellar luxation). We found out a few months ago that his right shoulder is luxating in the same way that his kneecaps did.
Now his left shoulder is also luxating.
He's such a little stoic it is hard to tell exactly how much pain he is in. The vet gave him a prescription for a fentanyl patch. My husband should be home in a few minutes so he can help me put the patch on. The vet shaved a place on his back for it but she said to hold it in place for 2-3 minutes so that it adheres properly.
The vet said the pain reliever might make him feel so much better that he would be running and jumping around and injuring himself worse. If he feels well, the only way we can keep him from running around is to crate him.
I don't know what to do. I don't want him to hurt. I don't want to shut him up in a crate. He would go nuts - he is used to being very active.
I don't want to keep him alive and miserable for my own selfish reasons - that I can't bear to part with him. But I also don't want to decide too soon that his quality of life is unacceptable.
I don't know what to do.
Baby sm
First of all, congratulations! You are about to experience the greatest gift on earth. I was not heavy but had a friend who was. Mind you, this was way back, as I am older, but I was surprised that she actually went on a very healthy diet which was good for the baby, and actually lost a few pounds. Check with your docs, but perhaps this will be a great incentive for you. Be positive, it will all be good! Best of everything to you and your baby.
Baby's bpm.
Hello. I just had my first real appointment at 12 weeks today and the doctor, i believe, told me the heart rate was 114. I've been trying to do some research on this but the more time i spend on the computer the more worried i'm getting. I've been reading a lot of women saying they lost their babies. The rate was much lower and around 5-6 weeks but i'm still scared. If anybody has info. about this or knows a thing or two i'd really appreciate it until i can call the doctor tomorrow. Thanks so much. =)
My baby
Buster is unfortunately not a puppy anymore. He will be 14 in January. He has some arthritis in his back legs and has what we think are TIAs occasionally, but he still runs and plays like a puppy when he gets a new toy.
Maybe you could rig that baby to
heat the house! 
Baby? lol
He looks like a big baby! lol How cute, looks like he poses for pictures often. I would definitely have that one in a frame with that beautiful smile! :)
Sorry about your baby...
Losing a pet is like losing a member of the family. We lost our beloved 9-year-old black lab 4 years ago, the week of Christmas. I had to take him to the vet because out of the blue he had an episode, that he just lied there and wouldn't respond. I thought he was dead then. He came to and I took him to the vet. She couldn't find anything wrong with him, took some blood for testing. He died the next day. It broke all of our hearts and when I saw my husband cry (I had never seen him cry before in 13 years of being together), it made the hurt that much worse.
Hopefully someone will come up with 8 baby

Congrats!!
If your income isnt too much you can always get medicaid and wic (not health insurance but helps out with food and formula)
right age for a baby?
For those of you who are planning to have kids, what is the "right" age to conceive? Of course everybody will have a different right time, but I'm just curious about other people's time lines.
What about Sun-In (to go along with the baby oil)...
and, more importantly, drive-in theaters - my boyfriend and I used to go to the drive-in almost every weekend in the late 70s/early 80s!! I wish they would bring the drive-in back.
some relief for your baby...
Try hemorrhoid cream to the blisters...I swear it will significantly decrease the itching. My daughter was around 4 when she got the chicken pox and I put Preparation-H on her blisters and kept it on them and she barely noticed them. Please try this, it honestly will help! Good Luck...and BTW, sounds like the doctor isn't the only one that is a jerk!!!  ---to your "husband"...
Poor baby!
I hope you can figure out what's going on with her.
A note on my baby
I left a message on the board about how my babies F/L was measured short and the doctor told me the baby probably had down syndrome. Well, I went to see a specialist who was very upset with the previous doctor and he did a level II ultrasound and my baby is perfect and normal. They do not measure the F/L for down syndrome. They measure the humerus bone. Anyway to make a long story short-----thanks to all who responded !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh and the baby has very long legs......
2 is NOT a baby! It's a toddler and IMO too old...
to be breastfeeding! That's disgusting for a child that old and YES I would be offended and grossed out to see a mom breastfeeding a 22 month old! I have absolutely no problem with moms breastfeeding BABIES in public, but not a toddler.
Thanks for that tip on Baby Alive!
I was wondering such! My daughter's birthday is in two weeks, and guess what she's asking for? More food and diapers for Baby Alive! Poor Baby Alive, she hasn't been fed since the day after Christmas! She'll be so happy when birthday time comes!
Baby Alive
You bet!!! My 5-year-old loves Baby Alive. We are on our second extra package of food (10 pack). The cost of diapers was getting crazy so I gave it a shot. You have to adjust the pretty tightly but $7.00 for 40 diapers is so much better than $4.88 for 6! I am wondering if you can used baking soda and water for food? Good Luck!
My Mom got my Baby Alive from
a yard sale, but I loved her anyway! I could only play with her in the backyard on the picnic table, or maybe I just chose to do so??? lol Anyhow, we had great times and I'll never forget her, ever! 
Baby Alive
Me too! I will be 40 next September. Wonder what became of my original? 
I'm not going to breastfeed my baby...sm
by choice. I want my husband, other kids and family members to share in the joy of bonding with the baby by bottle feeding at times and have no desire to be pumping my breasts. Our pediatrician leaves it up to the mother to decide whether or not to breastfeed, which is the way it should be. I've known plenty of kids who were bottle fed that turned out just fine.
Anna's Baby
Yes! Yes! Yes! The baby should be with the real father now.
TrimSpa Baby!!
Great for the heart...
