Is it painful? Seriously. What do you use? The paint stirrer (small, wooden stick), does nothing to him except make me mad and him more rebellious. I'm so afraid. I don't want to hurt him. I really don't. I'm so confused, upset, weak, tired, and wanting to give up.

Switching to DSL
I'm moving and the new place has DSL. I have always used cable high-speed. For those of you who have experience with both, can you tell me if DSL is a downgrade? I'm concerned about my production going down because of a slower connection. I know DSL and cable have comparable connection speeds, but I think DSL is significanly slower in transfer rate.
If I'm wrong, straighten me out. Tks for all input.

huh? switching went out in the 1950s!!!
OMG!!!
Have you tried switching feet?
I switch back and forth between left and right foot on the pedal to alleviate discomfort and have found it makes a big difference.
Try switching the food and see what happens. Process of

I agree. Was switching channels yesterday--sm
and landed on Oprah. Was shocked that some of the younger girls said Rhianna deserved being beaten because she hit him first and he was just defending himself. Did not see any photos of his beaten/bloody face on TV!!!
This is so shocking. With this kind of attitude it is not suprising that it is so hidden and shameful in this day and age.
Here is a funny pertaining to switching to digital TV in February

Only the 2nd one if I had the body......nm

With a body like that, hmmm you could also do
porno but just not the way I would want others to see me. Sorry, I have family that I just would not want to shame them much less myself. Just not an exhibitionist here.
Bath and Body sm
My DH got me some B/B red leather collection stuff, makeup bag, manicure/pedicure set (awesome) and a little purse which came with Moonlight Path shower gel and body lotion. I already had the overnight bag and the tote. I just can't get enough of that red - I'm a bling, bling girl all the way!!!
Well maybe the body but NO WAY that face.
I'd rather be fat and pretty. LOL
you should really do that...keeps a body busy. NM

Body aches
I've been transcribing for 5 years, and my body hurts all the time, seems like.
How do some of you girls do this for 10, 20, 30 years and still function? I have back aches, shoulder aches, neck pain, headaches, forearm aches. I've tried different chairs, keyboards, body posiiton, and it's the same.
Currently, I'm going to school, and I just can't wait.
I have my office at the end of the hall, and it's like Hell is at the end of the hall. Sometimes, I just hate this room. I don't even come in here on my days off, even if I have to use the PC. I look around this room, and just think, "How can I dislike a room so much?"
HOW do you girls do it for so long?
Neutrogena body oil
Works really well for me. I put it on after taking a shower and towel drying. I use it every day when it first starts, then taper it down to every other day, etc. as tolerated and use regular lotion on the inbetween days.
I find Mary Kay and Avon products are great for sensitive dry skin too. I like Mary Kay lotions and the Avon Skin So Soft is nice too but prefer Neutrogena or the Wal-Mart brand body oil because it seems to soak in faster and not leave me feeling greasy.
I think it is her body, her choice, and
her business. In the same category with men donating sperm or couples going to a fertility clinic.
first trimester that is.
And how is it your business what I put in to my body, if I sm
do not drive, use in the privacy of my own home? You are a self-righteous prig. MYOB. Live your life.
Alcohol and cigs should be illegal?? Wow, what a repressive person. Just b/c you don't like something doesn't give you the right to take it away from everyone else.
6-week body makover
The program involves eating for your specific body type. Both DH and I are trying this, basically 5 to 6 small meals a day, each with small amount of protein and small amount of carb and plenty of salads. Water, water, water. Also walking and stretching exercises. So far so good, lost 8 pounds first week, DH lost 10. But you have to really stick with the program. I decided to go with it because I know a lady who lost almost 100# on the program. You might try eating a little more low calorie foods and splitting it up into 5 small meals a day, might help you not to be so starved. Tried Adkins before, which I could do, but surprisingly my "Meat-eating" husband could not stick to it. We are doing this more for health reasons than anything, strong family hx of diabetes in DH family and he is already somewhat hypoglycemic so we want to avoid going down that diabetes road if possible. Get a strong movivating factor to help you stick with whatever plan you choose.
Oh my aching body...need suggestions..sm
I am only 29 but my body feels like it is 99!! At the end of the day, my shoulders ache and my arms feel like they weigh 100 pounds each. I have everything ergonomic from keyboard to adjustable arm rests to foot rest. I even do exercises throughout the day but nothing seems to help. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Has anyone used the 6 week body makeover and what
weight, etc.
not sure but an MD told me that a lot of body itching
and the product he ordered for me and my daughter was something like Exelon shampoo (prescription but I may be misspelling it) - it's the same ingredient as what is in Selsun Blue which can be bought over the counter.
Hope she feels better too........we when through this when my daughter was a teen..........
Just visited Montana and no body
lives in Montana nor a lot of the states where I visited. Saw lots of horses, though. Drove for miles without seeing a soul, no houses, no businesses, only horses.
I like the ones from Bath and Body called
socks to sleep in. They are so soft and so warm. My feet are also constantly freezing. I wear slippers all winter long. I have some, the brand is "old Friend" and they are leather with sheep skin in them. Your feet do not get sweaty, just toasty warm. I go through a pair every year because I wear them until it is about 70 degrees outside.
There are 2 body styles. The 4-door (sm)
style like mine is easier to find, but my sister got the 3-door one, which looks even more modern and flashy and tiny. Super cute.
It rates extremely well by Consumer Reports - top in its category for reliability. This car has been around a while in Europe, but only arrived here about 1 year ago.
On the down side, my very tall hubby does bump his head sometimes when trying to get in, but he sits unusually tall for somebody 6 foot 3 inches. I wouldn't say it has as much leg room as he'd prefer, but it is very drivable even for him.
Do you suppose your body ever becomes immune
to raw eggs? LOL. My brother and I constantly did this as children and lickily never got side. I now have to fight my children now from doing this becuase now I know better but they sometimes still sneak and get by with it. Once again no one has ever gotten sick but I know there is always a first time for everything. Just so hard to walk away from cake beaters.

Top 10 Useless Body Parts.
When you're sick you may feel that certain body parts are more trouble than they're worth. And in some cases, you'd be right. While the human body has evolved and adapted significantly since the caveman days, a few biological traces of our prehistoric ancestors still remain with us in the form of freeloading body parts we lug around with us, but have no use for. Take a gander at the top offenders!
10. Plica semilunaris
You may not know it, but you have a third eyelid. Pull open the two more noticeable eyelids and take a look -- it's located right in the corner by the tear duct. This small third eyelid is left over from what's known as a "nictitating membrane," which is still present in full form in some animals including chickens, lizards and sharks.
9. Body hair
No doubt we were once hairier. Up until about 3 million years ago, we were covered with body hair. But by the time Homo erectus arrived, the ability to sweat meant we could shed our woolly ways.
8. Sinuses
Doctors don't really know much about sinuses -- only that we have a lot of them. Possibilities for their function range from insulating our eyes to changing the pitch and tone of our voice.
7. Adenoids
Adenoids trap bacteria, but they're also prone to swelling and infection. Just ask any 7-year-old. Luckily, our adenoids shrink with age and are often removed, along with ...
6. Tonsils
Also prone to swelling and infection. If you still have them when you reach your 30s, it's almost an accomplishment.
5. Coccyx
More useful as a game-winning Scrabble word than as part of the anatomy, the coccyx or tailbone, is made up of several fused vertebrae left over from the olden days when we had tails.
4. Arrector pili
When we were hairier (see No. 9), the arrector pili made the hairs stand on end when we needed to appear bigger and scarier. Now, it just gives us goose bumps.
3. Wisdom teeth
Back in the day, when we ate mammoth meat off the bone and didn't floss afterward, our teeth tended to fall out. Therefore, when those reserve molars, aka "wisdom teeth," came in, they were welcomed. Nowadays, fluoride and dental plans have made them just a huge pain.
2. Appendix
Darwin claimed the appendix was useful for digestion during our early plant-eating years; it's dwindled down to little since we started eating more digestible foods.
1. Male nipples
Because, why?
Mind and body are created together
Is our body actually our own, or does it belong to society? Roe versus Wade, right-to-die cases, such issues show that's a very hard question for us all. We might acknowledge that God created the body, but we don't always acknowledge he also created the mental state. We note that some bodies are created with handicaps and we medically try to correct them, we even invent percieved handicaps and correct them (Botox, anyone?) but we are very confused as to at what point this is "OK" and at what point it is "wrong" (think Michael Jackson). However, we seem accept in general that if one is unhappy with one's body/condition, it can be "fixed" and it doesn't have to stay exactly the same as it was originally created; otherwise we would not try to prolong life with medicine, but would accept the original creation as involately holy and leave it alone. We don't often question, judge or condemn someone's opinion of what their body needs, we accept that is up to them as the inhabitant to make that call. If you say you need Lasix surgery, no biggie. If you say you need an abortion, you might experience some arguments and judgements about that. But if you say you need gender surgery, take cover, here comes armageddon! And oh boy, if you choose to have a baby in the middle of changing your gender, prepare to catch it from the entire planet!
The national media, in their infinite wisdom, picked up on this story for its pure sensationalism. How very kind and supportive they are, as usual.
There is a growing body of evidence
that circumcision is simply not worth the risks. Among clinical investigators, not just "kidhealth dot com."
If the risks of bleeding or infection are higher with circumcision as an adult, then for heaven's sake, don't do it then, either! Unless, obviously, there is a surgical indication for it.
I repeat: Having a foreskin is not a surgical indication.
My mom donated her body to science - sm
so we had nothing. She did not want us to do anything. We did mail a note to all my parents friends, etc. letting them know she had died, etc. but that was the extent of it. I said "goodbye" to my mom in the hospital morgue. They gave me a very hard time about it and did not want to let me but I insisted, explaining we were not having a funeral, etc. Took them an hour to arrange it once they finally agreed to let me see her. My brother and dad went with me, though I would have rather been alone. My dad already said his goodbyes in the room as did my brother. I drove up 4 hours so I could that night. My other brother did not make it though. His wife I think is the only one that has had a problem with the fact that there was no funeral or memorial service. We all just took things from the house that reminded us of mom and I think that helped. I have my mom's old recliner and I sit in it sometimes and talk to her. Plus when we get together we openly talk about mom and past events, etc., even my dad does despite his re-marriage and I know he is very happy in his marriage. But all in all we have all been fine with it, I think it helps to know my mom hated funerals, was not that religious, and we honored her wishes.
She extends her entire body and scratches every
door jam almost like she is marking everything as her very own. She is an older cat, so declawing is not an option. She is not an outside cat, but we have always felt that if we declawed her and she did happen to get outside that she would not be able to defend herself. She is a very good cat other than that like I said. She does claw the furniture a tad, but not as bad as the door jams. I can't even tell where she has clawed the furniture. She actually just leaves more dander on the furniture than actually clawing, so I guess we are lucky in that regard. She just really keeps me company, and I try to say "no" and scare her away from the door jams, but we have allowed one that she can scratch, which is in the entry to the area where her litter box is kept in the basement. We may be confusing her though. Thanks for all of your help. 
I was wondering why no soaping with my new body soap
gosh, used it 2 days and on this 2nd day looked at the bottle and it is body lotion. That's what happens after you reach a certain age- those fine lines are more difficult to read.
Hmmmm, honestly, if my body looked like that.....
I'd probably post pictures of myself all over the internet too! LOL
They make moisurizing body lotions
now that reduce unwanted hair. I used it on my legs, but it made the hair so fine there that it was harder to shave, which I still needed to do when it was time to wear shorts or a dress. But it might work for your arms.
My arm hair was dark when I was in high school. My mom says the same thing happened to her, but now in my 40s, it's almost gone.
Hormone changes, maybe thyroid stuff could be involved, so you might want to talk to your MD.
Melatonin is a substance which is normally produced by your body
It seems unlikely that it would counteract BCP but you might call your pharmacist and ask.
My husband used to use it when he was in the Air Force and getting sent overseas a lot. It helped him overcome the jet lag more quickly. But then, he didn't have to worry about getting pregnant! 
The birds in my yard need body guards
I have a few birdfeeders out in front of my office window for something to enjoy while I'm working. The squirrels come and the birds visit. Lately there has been a hawk (for lack of knowledge I'll just call it a hawk, it's some kind of big predator), swooping through and picking off birds right off the feeders, and now it has even tried to fly off with the squirrels. He sits up in my trees and waits to attack. Now I fully know this is the way of nature and he needs to eat to, but does he have to do it while I'm watching. Is there anything I can do to get rid of him (keep him away, not kill him or anything)?

Every body brings baby gifts. sm
Bring something sensual for the mom. A basket of body lotions, bath lotions, maybe something feminine to wear after the birth. I loved that. I had plenty of diapers, newborn clothes, and baby gadjets already. Something for just ME was really appreciated. My favorite gift for the baby was a musical lion that played "You Are My Sunshine". Baby totally loved that, for a couple of years.

Loooool, yeah, like his body is sooo hot!
I don't know, maybe to some, but he's definitely not my type. I never understood the attraction.
If you have a bath and body works locally, try...sm
their shower gels and body butter in whatever fragrance you prefer. I too have such dry skin that it cracks and bleeds, especially on my hands and feet. I can write on the skin on my arms and legs it gets so dry, and my face looks like a road map if I don't moisturize. I also have very sensitive skin, but the perfumes they use don't seem to bother my skin. I use the Neutragena Wave foaming cleansing pads on my face and then use the body butter. Also try not to take really hot showers, the heat is very hard on the skin, and make sure you pat dry, not rub as that tears the skin. Apply the body butter first thing in the morning, right out of the shower and again right before you go to bed. That may seem like a lot, but it does not take much of the body butter. I use it usually about 3 times a day, sometimes more on my hands, and mine still lasts quite a while.
Try Cetaphil. They make body wash too. nm

Mine isn't a foreign body but rather attempted activity with the doc.....
I typed this report. The female doc was very calm and normal during the entire report. Male presented with penile pain and discharge. I get to the plan and she is saying she recommends he go to a urologist but he requested only "female" urologists and there was not 1 in any of the local or extended local areas, blah, blah, blah and I am kinda thinking to myself this was a little bit strange. Then she gets to the end and proceeds stating she needs me to type a separate note and title it incident note. He unclothed himself as soon as she walked in, was playing with it, and was trying to get her to play with it, etc. She gave great detailed info and I was laughing so hard throughout it it was so hard to type it. I know it wasn't funny for them but hearing the incident was hilarious for me. I was just picturing working in the office when all this was going on. Turns out he had done the nurse the same way and what I didn't get was why the doctor wasn't forewarned so she could make sure someone assisted her in the room or possibly this did happen but wasn't in her incident report.

Body For Life is a weight loss program that worked for me.
The book is full of ads for his foods. If you can read past the ads it has great advice. The journal is essential IMHO. It is nice to know exactly what you did that "worked" when you start to drop the pounds. I do Walk Away The Pounds for the aerobic exericise part.

A lot will depend on size of baby & how your body accommodates birthing sm
My daughter was 5 lb 3.8 oz, and afterwards I thought Wow! That wasn't so bad, why does everyone say giving birth is so hard? Well, my son almost 4 years later was 7 lb 13.8 oz and had a 14-in head circumference. It was a difficult delivery to say the least, although I did not tear or need an episiotomy with either one. I do still have other lingering problems due to my son's birth even 8 years later, but I will deal with them for now. The pain afterward for me was worse from the tubal I had the next day than the delivery itself.
