There is nothing "cool" about an eating disorder! You may want to lose weight, but that is not the way to go nor would it get you the attention you want. I think you definitely need to seek some help. Why don't you talk with your family doctor to start.

As far as I am concerned, that was the
She was a terrible mother, a drug addict and general white trash who screwed her way into some money and fame. I think that putting her son on that reality show was akin to abuse and the daughter might now have a chance at a normal life, money or no. Everyone on the news is acting like she was Mother Theresa, when in truth she made all of her own problems and problems for everyone around her. I have no sympathy for anyone involved, but do hope the best for her daughter. As far as those 2 screwballs who claim to be the father, they both probably see $$$ signs. The baby should go to an actual normal and loving home to be raised as a normal child! I am sick of hearing what a great gal she was, because she was not and her being dead does not change that!
I think she is concerned because she is trying to get - sm
pregnant, and if her periods are irregular it will make that much more difficult.
No one will ever by more concerned about your/your

If you are really concerned,
which I would certainly be, you could call Patient Relations at the hospital and set up a meeting to discuss things. That is a huge mistake and according to HIPAA I would think it should be reported and documented, not necessarily by you but the staff. It's not as if you are trying to get someone "in trouble" but you could tell them you are concerned and want to make sure the opposite doesn't happen. What if someone would have authorized comfort measures for your father instead of real treatment? That is potentially a very serious matter that I think the hospital would want to know about, if they don't already.
And I don’t consider you concerned....

Should I be concerned sm
My 9 y/o son tells me that a boy on his bus (we'll call him Joe) who my son doesn't like him because of picking on kids i think, had been suspended from school for pulling a knife on someone. This boy is in the 5th grade. I asked the bus driver about this and she said yes he did do this but "Joe" wasn't the instigator it was the other boy who said to "Joe" that he was going to kill him and I don't know what else this other boy said. So this other boy was suspended for the rest of the school year. Now, should I be concerned that the school didn't let us know anything about this incident, or am I overreacting? I don't know the whole story, but this "Joe" rides the bus with my kids and supposedly pulls a knife on someone. That worries me. So I just don't know if I should say something or not. I'm glad the school suspended the boy for the rest of the school year. It's just kind of scary, this is elementary we are talking about and it's K through 6th grade. The bus drive said they are supposed to be "hush hush" about it. Obviously it got out somehow because my son told me about it.
Thanks for listening and any input you might have.
If you are concerned about not seeing GC
look into grandparent's rights now. Lawyers do not have to cost a lot of money either. Search for legal aid and your county online. From what I understand GP rights are pretty cut and dry, usually 1 weekend a month, and your son's visitation has nothing to do with your rights as a GP.
I'm more concerned about
the bussing issue and the younger kids being exposed to the older kids. My kids have learned so much. I'm not saying they don't watch TV, but I monitor what they're watching. My kids watch primarily Disney and Nick. My younger ones certainly didn't know about sex until they changed the bussing issue.
While childcare is an issue for a lot of other parents, fortunately for me I work from home. I actually don't mind sleeping in an extra hour or 2. My concern in this regard is the fact that they're tacking on all these extra days at the end of the year when it's hot and we don't have central air for these kids. I know that we didn't have A/C when I was a kid, but the weather has changed a lot since then. We actually had to dismiss early last year because of the heat.
I really think that this superintendent has too much power and is making changes that the parents are not in agreement with. I know there is a school board election, but I don't know much more, like when the elections are, etc. What's the timeline for school board members, i.e. how long do they sit and when are they elected? Do they have to be re-elected or do they get to stay on until they decide to leave? Is there a parent advocate to help mediate some of these situations? I don't usually get too involved in the small-town politics, but I think it might be time to at least go to the meetings and see what's going on. I don't want to wait until it's too late and then sit back and complain because I didn't do anything.
Thanks for responding!
I would be concerned but
I have stayed there numerous times in the past and never had a problem. They have an emergency number to call if there is a problem but I've never had a problem. The only reason I am concerned now is because my fiance is concerned - he's never been and thinks it must be a dump if they don't have a 24-hour desk clerk. I have always found it to be clean and well maintained. It is a small, family owned hotel, the price is excellent but there are drawbacks - no 24 hour desk clerk being one of them. To me it is worth it, but I'm not sure the fiance is going to think so. I hope this vacation doesn't cause us problems. He left the planning to me and was quite happy when I told him the price of the room.
I'm only miserable as far as he is concerned....sm
because he is drunk 99% of the time I get to see him. It's a Merry go round we can't seem to get off. Every day ends for me with a drunk SOB picking a fight and every morning starts for him with me being PO'd at him for whatever he did the night before. The rest of my life is actually great. I have great kids, a career I love, lots of family. There's potential for wonderful life for me and the kids if I could just remove the daily alcoholic part.
Trust me, I've supported DH for 15 years. Took him to marriage counselors, begged, pleaded, tried to be understanding. This last year we risked our financial well-being to support his dream. His end of the deal was he'd have something to work for and wouldn't drink anymore. He's still drinking, and we're still waiting to see the outcome of his dream. Luckily, he and his partner just refinanced under the new corporation and we are able to pay back all the personal funds he borrowed. I've tried it all. Give him some time to go out with the guys, do activities he wants, take the vacations he wants. Doesn't matter how much I support him. DH is a taker, and he will continue to take until I literally have no more to give financially, emotionally, or physically.
It's high time I lead by example and teach my pre-teen daughters that women deserve respect, honesty, common courtesy, and contributions from their partner that contribute to their well being and well being of their family. My biggest fear is my daughter's are just going to repeat the cycle because it is all they have ever known. I am totally at peace with the fact that I have done all I can to support my husband and help him overcome his addiction. Bottom line, can't help those that don't want to help themselves, and I will not sacrifice my children to keep trying.
Oh, I would suppose they would not be concerned but
if they had a touch of this (if this is what is going on with me) the pain is almost unbearable. I did take 1000 mg of ibuprofen yesterday along with Hydrocodone, nothing helped, in agony really. I am thinking possibly my fibromyalgia has converted over to this now. I could not get in to see my physician today- know if this is what is going on not life threatening- only can cause so much horrific pain hard to make it through a day. I hear sitting exacerbates- great for a transcriptionist, huh?
It's not the noise I'd be concerned about
Is she wearing a helmet that fits? There are daily accidents with children on ATVs. I'm sure she's probably not going fast, but an accident can happen even at 5 mph. If she should happen to flip the ATV, which can happen on an incline at any speed, your daughter could be killed. I don't mean to sound so grim, but it's something to be aware of.
We have an ATV. My 3 boys do ride with their dad and do wear helmets, but it's something I wish I'd never allowed to start. Every time they get on, I feel like I have to hold my breath until they're off.
You're more concerned about how much it cost

If you are that concerned about a potential love interest
check out abika.com. There are a million ways to find information on someone - for a price. There is no such thing as protected privacy anymore. Remember, though, saavy suitors can find the same information about your mom in the same way. She doesn't have to know you are doing it either. They have one section where all you need is their screen name from one of maybe 3 or 4 of the major dating sites to start a search.
I don't know the answer about the SS benefits.
But you are more concerned about her feelings than the life of your cats
Sounds like you care more for her dog and her feelings than your cats. Sorry if your feelings are hurt for people getting upset with you but that is a lot less than what your cats felt. There is no suggestion you can give her as it is apparent that she will not take them. Plain and simple -- it will not stop and if you get more cats you are asking for it. So either accept the situation as it and beware that it may next be you or your child or your dog or do something about and that is getting rid of the dog or keeping it in a fenced situation.
Because it seems as though you are more concerned about her feelings than the life of an animal
Since you no longer have any cats there should be no problem until they attack a member of your family and then we can go through all of this again. Why are her dogs more important than your cats -- because she treats them like children -- come on get realistic. Not only were your cats providing a service for your family they were older and had been there longer and deserve better treatment and loyality than what you are giving them. Again, since you no longer have cats and do not expect to get any more why do you need any solutions until these dogs do it to someone elses animals that will take action against them or your SIL. And putting them in a 8 x 12 foot run is not that bad -- lots better then letting then "run at large". Again I am just going by what your attitude --not much concern about the death of two cats but really concerned about hurting someone's feelings. Good luck.
I'm concerned that you were typing & weren't watching your 6 yr old.
Glad to hear that it was not a spider bite. I was concerned

I'm so happy it wasn't spider bite. Been concerned about you.

I'm getting concerned. I've had a muscle spasm under my left eye
At first it was just an annoyance even though it was constant, now it's really worrying me because it does it non stop. Any thoughts? Thanks
Write an anonymous letter. Type it up if you are that concerned, although I sm
am a big fan of minding my own business. You need to talk to her first instead of about her like this. Tell her your concerns. Be real and up front. Say, I don't respect you for this because you seem to be able to do such and such and I should turn you in. Don't be scared to do this. But if you are afraid, then write a letter since you say you know the insurance person and secretary.
I'm so concerned. Last night around 3 in the morning I rolled over in bed and felt so dizzy. sm
Fell back asleep, didn't think much about it. A little bit lethargic today. Took a nap after a long day (mom of 3 kids - 33 year old) and when I was in bed it happened again (severe vertigo) whenever I rolled my head from side to side.
Woke up nauseated. Didn't throw up. I don't feel weak anywhere. Just dizzy. Looked it up. Sounds like BPPV or Meniere's disease? I have no idea! I have to be healthy for my boys and myself! I have NEVER had ear problems in my life. I've never even had an ear infection before. This is so strange and concerning to me. I can't see doc until some time this week. Does anyone have vertigo, sudden onset, who can share a little with me? Help. 
I think they start to become concerned when femur length is two standard deviations below normal
which equals about 5 weeks or 6 weeks behind in length. And you said you were told something like 2 or 3 weeks behind. I wouldn't worry. You may just be having a small baby who may be a short person or maybe your dates are a little off. There are so many variables in pregnancy.
Both my kids measured below the standard for femur length on ultrasound (about 2 weeks behind), but I'm 5 feet 2 inches and my ex-husband is 5 feet 4 inches, so my kids weren't going to be big. My son always measured in the 5th percentile and was always of the smallest kid in his class. Now at age 14, he's taller than his dad and is probably going to reach about 5 feet 9 inches! My daughter is still in kindergarten and she is the smallest in her class and measures in the 5th percentile. I've had doctors say things like "we need to watch his/her growth closely" blah, blah, blah. I'm little, my ex is little, and consequently, my kids were little.
Best advice, DON'T WORRY! When you're pregnant there's a tendency to worry about every little thing! I would suggest talking to the genetics doctor and going from there. Do your own research and have questions ready when you go.
Good Luck!
Anyone else going to Cancun for Spring Break and concerned about current safety concerns
We're all set to go to Cancun for Spring Break and then we hear all of this on the news about people being careful in Mexico because of the drug cartel activities and killings etc. Does this even involve Cancun or is it just the border places. The Spring Breakers are being warned about going so it makes me wonder if it is just the borders as most Spring Breakers do not go to the border towns. Does anyone have anymore information. I have a good friend who met her husband in Mexico, has crossed the borders etc and she said going to Mexico isnt worth risking your life because they hate Americans. Yikes.. I don't know whether to go or not or if I'm just being paranoid now.
Give 'em a swish in the sink. If concerned about color running, try with 1 stem or leaf first. Or
