I'd just keep trying and be very persistent.  Maybe you will get a response

I have 12-year-old daughter and I feel she is just as entitled to vote as I am (if I voted which I don't).  This is America and we all have rights no matter our age.

Now, if older people are playing games with the voting, that is a whole other story and AI should change their voting policy somehow so it is fair and the most talented person wins.

This is an exception - I have been running a low-grade fever off and on this entire time, so I know something is going on, whether it's just inflammation or an infection.

In talking to the doc on this last visit, we figured out that my problem is mainly an allergy to molds. We had an extremely wet late spring/early summer (it broke previous records for number of straight days of rain) and my symptoms began shortly afterward. I have noticed that many times my symptoms begin the day after it rains.

I feel better today, for the first time in a LONG time. I don't know if it is due to the fact that I took the last of the antibiotic yesterday, or that I spent almost all day yesterday in bed resting.

I am going to see about getting tested for allergies, including an allergy to mold. I've done a bit of netsurfing and there are treatments for that, but they aren't effective for everyone. After what I've been through the past two months, though, I am certainly willing to give it a try!

I talk to the doctor about the possibility of a fungal infection, also. Is there a test for it? (I am a radiology MT, don't know as much about the clinical side)

I am lactose intolerant so I haven't drunk milk in years, but I do eat ice cream and cheese and foods with milk-based sauces. I probably should try to avoid those when I'm having a sinus flare-up.

Thanks for your suggestion. I hadn't thought of the possibility of a fungus. I will certainly investigate it.

will try to convince you that you're crazy or stupid.  They get defensive and angry and try to turn the tables and make this "your" problem.

Here's what you know:  1) It takes more time than normal to get his hair cut.  2) Your hair dresser not only has confided in you about her personal affairs, she has done so with your man (let me add, the only reason a woman does this is to elicit sympathy and a big strong shoulder to cry on - it's the oldest trick int he book).  3) He gave her a $500 tip without consulting you first.  He never mentioned it immediately after the fact, and still did not tell you how much the "tip" was after the thank you note.  That is completely deceitful!!!  4) When confronted with the facts that he gave away $500 without ever mentioning it to you, he has the balls to get angry and try to make you feel like YOUR anger is unjustified.

This are HUGE warning signals that should not be ignored.  Here is what I would do.  I would go through the checkbook with a fine tooth comb.  See where he is spending money and what he is spending money on.  I would also check credit card transactions as well.  If he has a cell phone, get a list of his numbers dialed and received calls.  Then figure out who the numbers belong to if you see numbers you don't recognize.  You can *67 and dial anonymously.  If it is a business, they'll always pick up.  If it's an individual who screens, you still get their answering machine.  You can also look the numbers up in a reverse phone directory.

I know it probably depresses you to think that it has come to all of this, but you would be a fool to simply overlook this indiscretion.  He may or may not have slept with this woman, but the bottom line his his behavior was deceitful and inappropriate.  You have every reason to be suspicious and he knows it.

I've been where you are right now and I feel for ya.  It sucks to find out you've been lied to by someone you loved and trusted.  Good luck!

I have heard enough! 

  Apparently she still has all of her female parts, except breasts...she gave birth vaginally...so it's NOT A MAN...IT'S A WOMAN.  I certainly hope that losing one's breasts does not disqualify us from being a woman.  This poor child is going to be so confused when she learns the circumstances of her birth.  Not to mention that the other woman is breast feeding her...I feel for the innocent baby who is going to be the one to pay for her parents stupidity!

All those people on TV are talking about a 400.00 or more increse in their mortgages. They spent over 600.00 a month on extras. This was on Operah. I can't believe that these people don't have a clue.

Between the 400.00 and the 600.00 on extras...that is what I get in one month.

I have cut back as much as I thin is possible and it is still difficult to make ends meet. I even have went so far as to unplup everything that I am not using.

How do you cope?

Okay, everybody, my new puppy that I love so much already has parvo and is in the hospital.  She went in yesterday morning.  So far, so good.  No vomiting and no diarrhea for 41 hours, but they are not wanting me to bring her home.

Can someone tell me if she is not vomiting and has no diarrhea and she is eating, what are they doing for her that I cannot do here at home?  I would rather her be here so that I can watch her.  If she got sick again, the vet's office is only 1/2 mile from my house - couldn't I run her back real quick (it is a 24-hour manned hospital)?

Anyway, everybody do what you do - say a prayer, send good vibes our way, whatever your choice is!  Just wish us back to good health!

Movie I laughed out loud to most recently was Hostel.  Way creepy movie/plot but still just couldn't stop myself when that girl's eyeball was bouncing off her cheek.

Definitely - Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Road to Wellsville, O Brother, Shrek

I am sick with a bad cold or maybe the flu, not sure, so I know I am more emotional because of that...but my husband made breakfast this morning, waffles, and called the kids, then after they started eating said, "oh, do you want to come eat?" So I went in the kitchen, and he had melted butter for the waffles, but he had left the paper wrapper in the bowl of melted butter.  Without thinking I just took it out and put it on a napkin to throw away, the tablecloth is plastic and it was on a napkin so it is not like it was going to hurt anything.  He started fussing, "why did you have to take that out?"  I said I didn't know, didn't really think about it.  "Well I was going to take it out after we were finished eating, I didn't want a greasy spot all over the table."  I said, " I put it on a napkin, there is no grease on the table so don't worry yourself over it."  So then he said, "well why couldn't you just leave it in there? I was going to take it out later."  I said, "it just looked kind of gross sitting in there, I'm sorry I took it out."  Then I went to get a fork and noticed the bowl he had used to mix the pancakes was sitting on the counter - he had used all the mix in the bowl, just still had some left on the edges, so again, without thinking (I'm a mom and a wife, it's just second nature to me), I took the bowl and put it in the sink and filled it with water.  He yelled at me, "why did you do that?"  I said, "I am just soaking it so it will be easier to clean."  "Well, I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO TOUCH IT!!" So I said, "Nevermind, I don't want to eat." I put my plate on the counter and left the room and started crying...I guess because I am sick I just can't take things as easily.  So I was in the next room crying and he says, "why do you have to make such a big deal about everything?" and I said, "why do you have to be mean all the time - you don't have to talk to me like that, it is unacceptable for you to talk to me like that."  So now he is mad because in front of the kids, I told him the way he talked to me was unacceptable.  But I don't want them to see him act like that and think it is alright, so I am going to continue to say it is wrong.  I dont want my daughter to think it is ok for her to be talked to that way or for my son to think he should talk to women like that.  My husband's father has always talked to his mother that way and still does. They just had their 50th Anniversary, so he thinks it is ok...it is NOT ok.  I am not going to just sit back and smile about it like she does.  And that makes him soooo angry! 

He had rented a room for us for New Year's Eve - but he has been so mean lately I don't want to go.  It was expensive and is nonrefundable.  I don't see the point of going there trying to act like we are so in love when we are not, so now I told him I am not going to go.  Why torture myself being locked in a room with him for all that time?? 

He is the same one I wrote about a while back who scraped up my good cake pan and who thinks he may be an alcoholic.  This past Friday, he took the day off from work, went hunting all day, was supposed to be back about 7...called me at 9:15 and said he drank too much and was not driving home.  I was glad he wasn't going to drive drunk of course, but why does he have to keep going out getting drunk?  He goes on several day-long hunting trips and can't call, sometimes he says because of no cell phone service and sometimes he says because he was so drunk he couldn't see to dial the number.

Ever since I have been stressed over a certain situation in transcription, and my family's budget I have become extremely tired and it is really hard to get my line count. Every day as the pressure builds regarding this my line count gets lower, no matter how hard I try.  Anybody in this situation or ever been, I'd appreciate advice.  I am trying stress busters, exercising, reading books, taking time to go outside, but nothing is working.

Every time I sit down to type, I just get more and more worried and I can't produce! It is like my heart is going on strike against the position I have because there are problems with the situation and it makes my money situation even worse.  My husband is very understanding but this has got to stop. I want to feel good about my job again and my production.  If you say get another job, I understand about that, but what about until the other job starts, what do I do? Arrrggggg. I know life is no picnic but it could at least provide piece of mind so I can do my job! Thanks in advance for any and every suggestion or advice. It will be well appreciated

hope you feel better soon!!!   

and like I said, many folks here in Florida are ill........I'm not, but I'm keeping my distance too...

I have some stay cats, mama and 2 babies at the door. I have been feeding them milk, dog food, whatever they will eat.  Any, one is a little kitten that managed to get inside and I did not know it.  I look in the kitchen and she has a piece of raw chicken.   I had  boneless chicken breasts out to thaw.  Is she going to get sick?  Should I give it back to her.
