I am a nursing student. I never said not contagious, they don't cause any health problems, just a NUISANCE, never denied that fact.

I tried to merely focus on the fact that perhaps the ongoing problem needs to be dealt with, if the school nurse won't make a home visit, perhaps a parent should LOVINGLY, not confrontationally offer to help. You can always call the mom and ask her to meet somewhere for lunch or a cup of coffee (on you of course) and then say, I understand you're having some problems with ridding your house of a little pest - no need to be more specific. Tell her you know how overwhelming it is to get rid of this and how much hard work is involved and let her know your willing to help her out to make it easier.

Good communication in a nonjudgmental way works wonders. People need to be proactive and less judgmental - thus why I am changing from MT to nursing, to many MTs (not saying you do or anyone else here, just in general)see things only one-sided and don't look at the whole picture.

ummm--you are on it now...nm

ummm let's see, NO
Spaying is not actually amputating a body part that you walk on and because of the over population spaying is neccessary, declawing is not. I have not done anything but be informative about a procedure, I'm sorry if that makes you uncomfortable. This is a forum where we share information, that is all. I believe I might be hearing a guilty conscious or not, so as far as leaving others alone, I believe I have not attacked anyone, just shared information.

Ummm...a lot I am afraid
When we added our son about 4 years ago (he's 20 now with his own insurance, thank goodness) ours tripled! We're about to add our daughter too...but not til she gets a J-O-B...good luck!

ummm...good question (OP)

Not really sure...I'm thinking $25 or so. I mean, we NEVER see her, NEVER hear from her, nothing---only of course when there's a flippin' shower going on...UGH!

Guess I better buck-up though...2 more weddings in the same family this summer, which calls for 2 more showers, with only 1 of the couples not living together yet (but they are expecting--go figure)!

Ummm, wouldn't that be a privacy violation?
I don't think that ANY doctor would let you listen to his dictation just so you could determine if you wanted him for a PCP. If I asked my doctor that, he would tell me to find another PCP. Just my opinion.

ummm you FORGOT to give us the site

want to try that again for us? Much appreciated, in advance!!!
