Had to post this, very funny, but kinda sad too for the poor thing

Nah, I'll try to find the link and post it....
I read on I believe the MSN site or somewhere yesterday that a vaccine will be available by about September but nothing sooner, which is why I find it interesting they're now saying it could fizzle out and re-emerge in fall (presumably after the vaccine is ready).
Anyone remember the big flu scare about 3 years ago, where the pharmaceutical companies swore there was a shortage of the vaccine and it would be deadly to old people and compromised children, etc.? Everyone running out and getting their innoculation before it was no longer available, creating a mass panic, then a month or two later, the news was showing TONS of leftover vaccines sitting on the shelves.
Nah, I don't trust this hysteria about the swine flu at all. I look on it more as yet another way for the media to play on our fears for ratings, and the big-money corporations that run the pharmacies to cash in on that fear.
I had the taste for something different sm
last night. Steaks and mashed potatoes with gravy were on the menu. I wanted something different than the usual for a veggie. In my frying pan, I took a spray of nonstick Pam, 2 tablespoons of butter, 1/2 onion and browned the onion in butter. Then, I added a small can of sliced mushrooms and browned those. After that, I added a can of green beans and a can of corn and some black pepper to give it a little zing. I sauteed that until just lightly brown and then we sat down to eat. The veggies were so darn good I ate the whole thing. Shame on me. 
taste of blood.....
yea alot of people say that. I have heard it numerous times, but then I see shelters take in hard core fighting dogs & turn them into loving pets & working dogs for the community such as lawdogsusa.org so I believe this is a myth.
Yep that was it....Taste of Home...nm

I think it is in bad taste and he should be fired from his job...
but I am not sure it is a crime. An 18-year-old knows what she is doing. To be honest, so does a 16 or 17-year-old. I certainly think that he should lose his teaching license, but it really is not sexual misconduct with a minor. She was not a minor.
Loss of smell and taste
Thank you so much for responding. It is bothering me somewhat as when I mentioned this to my primary care doctor he didn't seem to think it was something to be concerned with, or at least that was my impression. I will be seeing the ENT doc on Friday and hopefully I can get some answers. I guess I will have to get used to eating food and not being able to enjoy the flavor. I also read on line about smells, spoiled foods, gas fumes, etc. Thanks again and I am glad you are doing well otherwise.
Loss of taste and smell (SM)
Hello all - I was wondering if anyone on this board has ever lost their sense of taste and smell due to an upper respiratory infection and/or chronic sinusitis. This happened to me about 3 months ago and I assumed I would regain my sense of taste and smell but I haven't yet. Any suggestions as to treatment would be greatly appreciated. BTW I will be visiting an ENT specialist soon. TIA
Great taste. My picks also! nm

LinK - You and I have the same taste in performers.
Julian McMahon as your Avatar? I never miss a Nip/Tuck! How about David Boreanaz? I love Bones, and watch reruns of Angel every morning on TNT!
You have very good taste! My fav too, but left a $65 bottle in a

You sound really young, good taste never
goes out of style.
people mimic good taste, but
I would have been really hacked off about that. I do not like my MIL at all! I would have blamed it on her haha. Ill share one of my many many horrible MIL stories....
When my daughter was little, it took forever for her to get hair. She had said over and over how I needed to get it trimmed. I told her we will but we make a deal out of their first haircuts, and we would do it. We lived 5 hours away. Anyway, my husband and I left our kids with her for the weekend, and when I came back, she had trimmed her hair. I was furious... of course my husband didnt notice and couldnt figure out why my face was 6 shades of red. He asked her about it, and she said "she is my granddaughter."
I have plenty more to share, but I have a job and kids to feed lol....
I agree but his taste in women makes me wonder!
Hand them a lemon to smell and taste and put sunlight on them
When I realized while dating what lousy taste he had, I started buying my own gifts. Been doing it

Find a lawyer, find out where you would stand - sm
in the event of a divorce/separation, regarding custody, house, etc. Custody was my main concern as well since I lied on numerous occasions about the finances. Where I am I was told that would not factor in to the custody at all. I can prove that I am my kids caregiver 90% of the time, I ferry they around everywhere, help with homework, get ready for school, meet at busstop, etc. I could also point out my husband is an alcoholic, self treats his depression with alcohol instead of getting proper medical treatment, has threatend to kill himself (or me) numerous times (though he always says he was joking and did not mean it.....that is his standard answer to everything, or that he never said that). Now I do love him enough to deal with all that because deep down inside my DH is full of it, luckily for me, he has never followed through on anything he says he is going to do. But I thought my confession would be the straw that broke it all and send him over the edge. He still is angry with me, I am sure he will be for a long time, but is keeping it together pretty well, though he has said the stress was going to kill him, now he know how I felt I guess. I am sorry your husband is such a smuck. I feel like a dog sometimes with the sex demands, have to do it the night before he goes out of town....he will be traveling a lot for work for the next 3-4 months, which I am more than glad about, much calmer here then, though it gets tiring for me but as he is not really helping much right now it really won't be much of a change. As for yours going on 5 day weekends.....have you considered having him followed, sounds like there may be some infidelity afoot, and if so that would strengthen your case in the event of a divorce and custody I would think. Sounds a bit fishy going out until 1 a.m. and his frequent trips. My DH fishes too, but he goes 2 miles from here with one of our male neighbors, they shoot the breeze and he gets to unwind some which I encourage. Very rare weekends with a buddy of his, I am talking once every 2 years, which again is fine with me. Start keeping track of all you do, when he is home, where he supposedly goes, with whom, etc. He cannot show he will be a responsible dad if he is never there or never interacts with his own kids. My DH would probably suggest I take our older daughter and he the younger, spliting them up, he has the same perception, the oldest is mine, the youngest is his. Our younger daughter is much easier to deal with, our older daughter drives him nuts and she is only 10. My younger one (8) knows something has been going one though, and worries we will divorce, which she does not want. She is very perceptive for her years. I hope that if you do go the divorce route, which would actually probably be best in your situation, that it all works out for you and you get your fair share of assets, etc. Make sure before you do anything like that you have all your ducks in a row, so talk to divorce lawyer. I talked to one for 45 minutes, cost me $160 but was worth it to set my mind at ease. Good luck.
Difficult based on taste, easy based on ethics.
I was a vegetarian for 10 years, then a vegan for about 5 before meeting my husband, i.e. Mr. Barbecue. He thinks he will die of starvation if he doesn't have some form of animal flesh on his plate at least twice daily. I do eat meat minimally now but not without guilt about the way the animal was raised and slaughtered. I don't believe meat is healthy either, esp. because of the hormones, antibiotics and unnatural feed commercial livestock receives. I have free-range chickens and use their eggs, and I buy raw milk from a local small farmer whose cows graze freely on organic grass. I am working my way back to a meat-free diet in spite of my DH. Can't wait to shed the 20 pounds of animal-fat blubber I've accumulated and get my cholesterol level back down to where it used to be! You just have to give peas a chance.
Poor you!
Right now I'm trying to transcribe for ESLs who dictate that way, and add whole sentences in prelude to something that actually means something. Stop with all the filler guys!
Oh, poor guy. sm
Sorry I referred to him as female before. (I've had too much coffee today - I seem to have energy, but no focus.) It is stressful to try to watch them all the time and to be worrying about them all the time. I sure hope he'll be okay.
I actually meant to give you this website in my other post (like I said, no focus!) It seems to cover pretty much everything about canine epilepsy, and I really like the advice way down near the bottom "Living With An Epileptic Pet." http://www.canine-epilepsy.net/basics/basics_main.html
I think there are e-mail lists for people with epileptic pets too, which are probably very supportive and helpful.
I wish you both well. Please let us know how he's doing. 
poor pup!

Poor cat
I'd rather have Scooter Libby living in my neighborhood than these 2 girls or you, all 3 who apparently cannot see where the problem lies.
Oh no! Poor you! :-(
When I lost a filling NOTHING took the pain away and I loaded up on as much Tylenol as was safe. The best thing I found was liquid Anbesol, the strongest strength they make, soaked on a piece of cotton gauze...the kind with like a webbing around it, put right over the tooth. I also remember staying plastered pretty much the whole time with whiskey high balls.
I hope you feel better soon! Nothing worse than dental pain, in my opinion. 
Poor Puppy--sm
Wow. I feel so bad for the puppy (I call all doggies puppies no matter what size or age they are). I did not realize that pets could get or have SLE. I wish you the best for finding something to control symptoms. give puppy a pet for me too.
Poor baby!
I hope you can figure out what's going on with her.
Thank you for caring for that poor dog. sm
She must have been neglected for a long time.
With her coughing up mucus, she probably has pneumonia and needs antibiotics. She also needs dental work.
You might want to feed her some ground beef and rice. You should boil the beef, not fry it (no seasonings)and add it to cooked rice that has no seasonings. This is what my vet prescribed when one of my dogs was sick. It should be easy for her to eat this. But please get her to a vet ASAP.
She probably has some kind of allergy that is causing her to chew herself. Or she might be doing that because her teeth hurt her.
Poor fella...
I would have said, "Honey, I have a 15 minute break at 8, let me "talk" with you then." Throw the poor guy a bone! lol
Poor thing...
Try the packaged oatmeal bath specifically for itchy rashes. I did this with my little one, who is now 18, and it really seemed to help with the itching. You should be able to find it at the pharmacy or ask your pharmacist. Maybe even a little Benadryl will help her rest and keep her from itching as well.
Wishing her a speedy recovery and prayers!
Poor animals!
A ''crate'' is just a nice term for a cage. How sad to cage a dog or cat.
Poor thing is very odd looking...
an excellent singer though!
Poor kid.... I felt bad for him
I agree that he surely didn't measure up vocally to the others. He seems like a nice kid, though, and even most adults couldn't take being talked about the way he has been. I really felt for him up there. I hope he has a lot of fun when they're on tour. I think he's going to be getting the biggest reaction from the crowds.
Oh, poor hubby. Now he has to do all the
driving of kids, cooking, laundry, vacuuming, etc. until your ankle heals. 'Cause you know, you're supposed to elevate your foot so it can heal.
No need to get mad - just apologize to him when you have to ask him to do all that stuff, LOL.
He'll never do that again.
:oD
House poor
I would not buy this home, and I'm not sure the bank would allow you to buy it anyway at your current incomes. Banks used to use the 28/36 formula (no more than 28% of income for house payment and 36% total for car loans, credit cards, etc.). Nowadays, they've relaxed those guidelines which could explain the skyrocketing foreclosure rate right now. As someone else posted below, babies and children in general cost lots of money, even for their most basic needs. I would try to find a smaller, older home instead.
You poor dear. I know exactly what you are saying.
I have 4 children with my husband. I don't even like leaving them at home with him. It's not that he is abusive but I just feel like I should be there in case he starts his antics with them. They are pretty tough though. Even at their early ages they have him figured out and sometimes I think they cope with him better than I do. They have this wonderful ability to mentally block him out that I wish I had sometimes. They just act like he isn't even in the room. I guess God takes care of them b/c they are the innocent victims.
Ha! I might suggest that to the poor
folks who still work there. This woman would probably put them on KP duty, though.
;op
Poor Thorne
He is just looking for love and now he is getting played by Donna (who in my opinion looks like a tramp and is acting like one). I do agree that the look on Stephanie's face will be priceless...and then she will lunge at Donna and try to kill her....good times, good times!
Oh your poor daughter!
I know exactly the humiliation she is feeling and can totally relate. What that 'teacher' said and did is just wrong. I can only hope she didn't mentally scar your daughter for the rest of her life.
I got my first period when I was in junior high...was wearing a white skirt to boot. I heard giggling and normal noise of all us students transferring to and from class but had no idea people were laughing at ME. Finally, halfway through the day, an older girl who I had no idea who she was, pulled me into the bathroom and said that I may want to go to the nurse's office because there was blood all over the back of my skirt. I actually took off my skirt, washed it in the TOILET WATER, and hid there the rest of the day until the final bus left and walked home, probably at least 5 miles, completely destroyed.
For such a 'normal' body function that no one should be surprised about, why on earth did no one bother to tell me about it, rather humiliate me like that? ...and yes, it messed me up for life.
That adult needs to have her naked behind paddled in public in front of all her peers to even come close to feeling the humiliation your daughter just felt. Go right to the top and defend your poor daughter.
Aw - Poor Lil Ole You - Jealous, huh? (nm)

Poor things! sm
You must be heartbroken. How sad! You did the best you could.
Oh goodness! Your poor mom!
Sort of have a similar story but my MIL was the one calling about my DH. She took DH to the ER for a severe attack of Crohn's; I stayed home with the kids.
I am dead asleep and MIL calls at 11:30 p.m. and says "we almost lost him." I asked what she was talking about and couldn't figure out what was going on. She tells me she thought he wasn't breathing, starts lecturing me about how I should have called her sooner to take him, that none of the triage staff would help my DH and she called 911 from the ER waiting room. I was far too disoriented to drive there as I had taken a sleeping pill. I felt pretty helpless.
She phoned me again at 6:30 a.m. She apologized for calling like she did.
He did indeed have a severe Crohn's flare up but his BP was fine as well as all his vitals. She insisted that the triage nurse falsified his vitals. Next time I'll call an ambulance for him instead of her.
I hope your dad is okay today. Saying a prayer for you and your family (if that is okay).
I know...poor kitties! (nm)

Aw, you poor thing!
My dad was once with my mom and their grandchild, and I guess mom was pushing my niece on a swing and dad sat down on a bench. Well it was a warm day, and naturally he fell asleep. Next thing he knows, park security is asking him to move along, like he's a vagrant. Or maybe his snoring was scaring the kids - I donno. :op
Awwww poor little guy!
His eyes seem to be saying, "Why are you humiliating me like this?"
You poor thing!...
You are just stressed out!! I can't say that I have been in the child support and visitation situation. But I do hope things get better for you. Not to say I don't have stress just not the same you have. I have stress with having work to do on the computer and having to do everything around the house. My hubbie drives a truck and isn't here and has a kennel of beagles and plus I have household chores. My pit bull impregnated my beagle who is at the vet as we speak getting an abortion and being spayed so we don't have to worry about this. I have a son who is 10 who if you don't sit down and make him do his homework he doesn't do it. It just seems there is so much to be done and I am the only one to do it. Laundry, cleaning house, cooking, helping with homework, feeding dogs. Don't forget the MT work pilig up you have to have done by in the morning. It gets stressful. Hang in there!
Oh my! Poor you and your daughter!
The first hint that the other mom was improper was saying you were not "a good Christian." That in itself is verbal abuse and shows where her daughter gets it. Proves to you that your daughter is truly being bullied. Great you talked to the teacher. Tough you can't be there with your daughter to make sure she is safe. When someone bullies my 7 and 8 year old kids, I tell them to first say "stop." Then if the person continues to turn and walk away. This is what I learned in abuse counseling. This goes for any situation young, old and in between. On the phone same thing. Say stop and then if they don't say, "I am hanging up now." to give them the heads up. It sounds like you and your daughter have good hearts and unfortunately bullies can smell that out. Happened to me my whole life, and every day I have to remind myself the rules of true friendship versus a wolf in sheep's clothing. I will send happy thoughts your way. And please, don't ever accept this "you are not a Christian," stuff. I am a Pastor's wife who rarely goes to church where he preaches anymore because of hearing that type of thing and I am trying to tell the ladies to "stop." Well they do not, so a lot of members leave. That's another story about bullies. Different forms and different disguises, same MO.
Good luck to you!
Oh those poor little critters!!! LOL nm

That's a poor article.
That article is written by a self-proclaimed expert writing on a conspiracy-theory website. It's mostly made-up nonsense.
If you want information, find something better.
My poor old doggy had seizures
and died from one. He went to the vet that day and she put him on medication. I called her and told her he was having more seizures and she said to double his medication. That night, he had a seizure and did not come out of it and died staring at me. I felt so helpless that I could not do anything to help him. I loved him so much.
Now I have another doed that is only 2-1/2 and he is having seizures about 1 every 3 months. He gets very scared and I have to comfort him. He wines and gets under my feet, can't stand up, drools, shivers and goes stiff.
And, btw, I am one of the working poor, a member of

Yep and no one else is after poor Anna Nicole's

Poor Miss Lily!!
Your poor pup has really been through the ringer with health issues. I hope she gets better soon for ALL your sakes! Keep us posted, sending prayers . . . .
