In Reply to: Personally I don't plan on becoming one of those - sm -

I was just noticing Sally Field's hair on TV the other day - I think it looks good on her. . I kinda like longer hair - mine doesn't grow that much so I don't have as many options as some people.

go to Sally's Beauty Supply if you have one

I promise you this will help thinning hair and also I have shared this with my friends who have lost their hair due to chemo treatments.  This is a leave-in hair conditioner, comes in a plastic tube (you have to shake it up each time) that smells terrific.  Now, you don't just apply it like hair conditioner, what you have to do (and there are no instructions to tell you this) is you have to move your scalp back and forth with your fingertips once you apply this to your scalp.  The scalp moves very little - but it is this little movement that stimulates the conditioner into making your hair MUCH THICKER within 2 months!  I PROMISE YOU.  I was on interferon in 2000 and a hair salon owner told me about it as I had hair loss (not total) very badly from the interferon (a clinical trial used on me but not for cancer) and what she told me was the absolute truth!!!  If you don't have Sally's Beauty Supply, try any beauty supply store.  Fermodyl comes in many numbers but you are looking for number 7.


Hope this helps - as a matter of fact, I am 110% sure it's going to work for you.


I Love Sally's! Good idea to get the savings card for $5.00
also. You pretty much make it back and-then-some on just a couple of purchases. And they are not expensive to start, I don't think. MUCH cheaper than the stuff at the salons where they can charge $20 for a bottle of shampoo! I have had much success with finding products you can't get anywhere else, such as salon-strength reconstructors/deep conditioning products the salons "won't" sell you, and charge you 15.00 or so for one application, because they want you to keep coming back for them! Cha-ching! Salons are truly such a rip off. At Sally's, I'm like a kid in a candy store! ;)
Don't bother getting into this field

your not going to make any money working for a company.  The only way to make money is to own a business, and just starting out can be very expensive.


There are many of us trying to get out of this field for various reasons - mainly the BS that companies give us. 


Oh Boy! Field Trip! nm

the field trip?
I dont know.  I wrote that in response to a thread below that talked about it.  I do know that in this day and age any time a Christian tries to speak out about their beliefs, we are condemned.  If a Christian wants their rights upheld, we are told that we shouldnt try to shove our religion down others throats.  We cannot pray in school if we want.  They take God out of the pledge of allegience because it is offensive to others.  Well taking him out is offensive to ME.  Our country was founded on a basic belief in God.  We were God fearing people and there was NOT tolerance for things that went against him.  But we have had political correctness shoved down our throats for so long that what used to be wrong is now right.  We have become desensitized to sin.  But God did say that this would happen and that in the end days his followers would be treated this way in his name.  So I guess that is fine with me.  I will always stand up for my Saviour, Jesus Christ, and I will always try to tell people about what he did for them, no matter how bad of a reaction or treatment I get. 
You ask about 1 thing and others go off in left field
I have known this man for 33 years now- he was my friend before my husband. The person who talked about still waters running deep is right on with the kind of man my husband is. I know where he was born, where he has lived, his family and most of all I know his heart and what a heart! He is the most perfect man I think I have ever met- including my father and brother- kind, considerate, thoughful, prayful, hard-working. He brings me things home because "he was just thinking about me." I can reach him even at work 24/7. He does not drink, does not smoke, is respectful, loving, married late in life, no other wives, no other children. He is a thinker, a doer and the kind of man anyone would love to have. Most who know me tell me I am extremely lucky, even my 86-year-old aunt said she wished she had met him first- I would have had a run for my money! Here an older southern white woman saying he is right up at the top of her list for people she likes! She is an aunt I always went to for advice- looks like she is still right in her thoughts. To make an issue about my not knowing where he went to school or how much school is such a minute thing for me- I have riches untold just for him being in my life and I give thanks quite a bit to above.
I remember my dad embarrassing me on the field (sm)
This was a different era, I played in the late 70s and early 80s... and there was a lot of drinking in the stands!  We lived very close to the ballpark and my dad would walk to my game with a cocktail.  I didn't really think about the drinking part back then, but looking back now I realize that is what was happening.  But I will never ever forget my dad running right onto the field and yelling and pushing the umpire.  He embarrassed me many times.  And yes the other kids noticed and it was brought up at school.  And guess what?  I played in high school and college and even in a semi-pro league and once I was in control of getting my own self to games I never even gave him a schedule because I'd rather he just not go to the games.  I'm a coach now and I can kind of help the kids along with parents get out of hand, but there are certain parents I wish would get kicked out!  Please just enjoy the game for what it is.. a time in your child's life he/she will never forget (good or bad). 
We are all in the same field - just get along for crying out loud!

Why such a division?  The bottom line is that we all just want to communicate with people in the same field of work.  This does not give anyone the right to slam the "other board" or certain people.  Sounds like some of you just need to get a life.


How much money would you give towards this field trip....sm

16-year-old comes in from school today and says the drama teacher has invited the 3rd and 4th year drama classes to go to New York in March for a week to see shows and tour the city.  Supposedly the cost would be around $700, including airfare from Atlanta, lodging, meals, tickets to shows, etc.  I asked what fundraisers were going to be held and she had no idea if any would be.   Personally I don't see how they can do the trip to include meals, travel, hotels, shows, etc. for just $700 a person and am presuming that's going to be around the amount that would be proposed to the students to pay after fundraisers are done. 


My daughter asked how much I'd contribute to the cause. 


She doesn't work and doesn't drive (scared to learn so we don't push it - don't want her to drive if she doesn't want to). 


She is a good student.


I told her first off that she would also need to get a job because we're not going to pay all of this ourselves and take away the money from the family vacation for next year (we do a family budget of $1000 for vacations and that's for 4 of us). 


We're not rich but do put "x" amount of money into the savings account each month as we want to move to a different area in a couple of years. 


So.... how much do you think we should require her to raise herself and how much should we pay?   I was thinking that maybe to contribute $200 would be plenty generous and let her get a part-time job after school/weekends to raise the rest + spending money.  Do you think I'm being a cheapskate for that or do you think it's a fair amount? 


Marching on the field at band camp ...sm
it was my freshman year of high school. One of the adult volunteers heard it on the radio, ran to the band director crying and insisted that he stop the practice because of the news.
Back in the 1970s my dad call me outside. Over the field in
front of our house was a large orange ball just sitting in the sky. A couple of neighbors came over and we watched it for over 30 mins, it just sat/hung there and then finally just disappeared. To this day we have no idea what it was.
Field trip to see lesbian wedding

First-graders in San Francisco took a field trip to City Hall to celebrate the marriage of their lesbian teacher on Friday, but opponents of same-sex marriage in the state say the field trip was an attempt to “indoctrinate” the students, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.


The field trip was suggested by a parent at the Creative Arts Charter School, and the school said the trip, where students tossed rose petals on their teacher and her wife as they left City Hall, was academically relevant.


"It really is what we call a teachable moment," said Liz Jaroslow, the school’s interim director, according to the newspaper. She said same-sex marriage had historic significance. "I think I'm well within the parameters."


California will vote on Nov. 4 on Proposition 8 which seeks to ban same-sex marriage in the state, and supporters of the measure say the field trip shows that allowing same-sex marriage will mean it’s taught to school children, the newspaper said.


"It's just utterly unreasonable that a public school field trip would be to a same-sex wedding," said Chip White, press secretary for the Yes on 8 campaign, told the Chronicle. "This is overt indoctrination of children who are too young to have an understanding of its purpose."


Yes being in this field and/or having had chronic "mystery" health problems (sm)
You do quickly learn that physicians are only human and they don't know everything. We really have to take a lot of responsiblity for our own health and that of our family members who may not have the same knowledge. We do not know as much as physicians know about medicine, but we know more than they do about our own bodies and our family members and we just might have the insight they need to put together a diagnosis.

Good for you for writing to them!
I put *warning, graphic* in the subject field, but apparently it didn't show up. nm

What is the MOST outrageous thing you've seen/heard while working in the medical field?
While working in an oncology office I had a heartbreaking conversation with a newly-widowed young mother of 2. Apparently healthy husband suddenly turned up with a brain tumor, which killed him pretty quickly. The life insurance company did their due diligence and investigated the case, since the policy was issued only weeks before the diagnosis; but the patient had NO indications of illness at the time, and the medical records basically proved the negative; he hadn't been to a doctor because he wasn't sick.

In the course of discussing the point with the claims examiner, the widow told him it wasn't about the money (although she was going to need it to raise her 2 kids by herself). She'd FAR rather have her husband back. The claims examiner said he'd far rather have the woman's husband back too...

... wait for it ...

... because if he were still alive, he'd still be paying premiums to the insurance company!

Yes, it really happened.

I suggested the widow contact the state insurance commissioner's office and report the guy. Even if what he said/did was not precisely illegal, it was WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.
That seems to be debatable even in the medical field. Disease or not disease?
things that could lead to diabetes and hypertension are true, they are still diseases and could obviously occur with or without staying away from known causes.

But for you to come here and say alcholism is "NOT" a disease is a little extreme and maybe should have been accompanied by IMO? That is my opinion anyway.
