You've got a great list....sm
another thing you can do is if you have kids older than 5 years ago it's a great time to teach them about budgeting and money if you haven't already. We have our family budget hanging on the wall in my office and the kids know exactly how much money is available and that there's no money tree growing in the back yard to get cash from!

Another suggestion to save money is watch the sale papers and warehouse clubs if one is close by. We have a big freezer and when things like ground beef, chicken, bread, peanut butter, etc goes on sale at a super cheap price we stock up. I've got 12 super sized jars of Skippy peanut butter in my basement right now that we got for $1.25 a jar at a warehouse club because of overstock! The way we go through peanut butter it's a HUGE savings and will last us until school gets out.

With the kids I do a "reward" fund with them. This means that when we hit certain family financial goals I give them some extra cash to spend. It's not a lot but it gives them goals when things happen such as the power bill is down because they've been turning off lights more, water bill is less because they use a timer and take a 3 minute shower versus staying in there until all 30 gallons of hot water are drained from the water heater, etc. Now on Sundays they enjoy looking at the grocery store sale ads and figuring out what things are on sales at great prices, and when I have a coupon for the same item we really get excited. There have been many times I've paid less than a quarter, or nothing, for an item on sale when I had a coupon that basically covered the cost of the item. That I love!
What a great list of tips! I'm going to memorize them.
LAUNDRY: The apartment I live in is an old house divided up, with no laundry facilities. There is also no laundrymat in my little town, so I had to drive a long way to do laundry. Our laundrymat charges $2.25 per load to wash and/or dry! I was going broke! Sometimes, you have to spend money to save money. When I got my $600 economic stimulus check, THANK GOD I didn't invest it in my 401K! (I almost did.) Instead, I bought a cute little Haier portable washing machine and portable dryer. They use very little power, very little water, and since the 'gray-water' drains into the kitchen sink, I use it to pre-soak really dirty dishes. The washer just sips detergent - only ONE TABLESPOON per load! I've only had it about 6 months, but considering all the wash I've done, it's come close to paying for itself. (And that doesn't include gasoline, car mileage, or lost time from working.)

FOOD: Potatoes are cheap and versatile. I hate to cook, and am bad at it, so do mostly fast, easy meals. I eat lots of grilled cheese sandwiches, and also like to take a flour tortilla, sprinkle cheese on it (and/or anything else), and put it under the broiler for about 1 min., then fold it in half and eat it. I use tons of Top Ramen. Besides soup, the noodles are great to add to salads to make them more interesting. When baking cookies, I make lots of oatmeal ones. Lower in cholesterol, saves on flour, and very versatile.

I TAKE HANDOUTS! Without being obnoxious about it, I'm honest with my friends and family that I live on an extremely tight budget. One of my sisters (who makes really good money), occasionally gets paid extra cash at some of her jobs, and she sends it to me as a gift. (We stopped exchanging XMas & B-Day gifts a number of years ago). I accept it graciously, thank her profusely, and always give her an update on what the money was used for. (That last point is important, I think. Lets her know how useful & appreciated her gift was).

A friend of mine has a rather picky-eater husband. So when she has alot of extra food that either she bought, or she cooked, that he doesn't like, she gives it to me. I currently have about a year's supply of that wonderful staple, Rice-A-Roni, in my cupboards! Another friend has a 20-something year-old daughter who is my size, and gets tired of her clothes quickly. Before taking them to the Goodwill, she often brings me a bag of her daughter's clothes that I get first-pick of. I've gotten some of my favorite clothing items from her! Her daughter's name is (Linda, so we call the clothing "Lindawear".) I have LOTS of Lindawear in my closet! ;)

HEAT: I keep the thermostate OFF, and just turn it on long enough to take off the chill. I keep a space-heater next to my desk, and can close my bedroom-office door to keep the heat in here. It, too, gets turned on only as necessary. Keeping my feet warm in turn warms the rest of me, so I rotate warm socks and slippers by placing them on the space heater (only under my supervision, of course - never left alone!) Then when my feet feel cold, I put on the warm socks and slippers, and man, is that ever NICE!

PHONE: I still have my cellphone, but really only use it for occasional calls & emergencies. I removed the text-messaging and email capabilities, which I rarely used, anyway. Now all it does is send/receive calls, and take photos. Even though I have a land-line for my DSL, I consider the cell a necessity these days. I feel *naked* if I drive the car without it with me. I stick it in my pocket when I hike (which I usually do alone, and yes - we have mountain lions in the hills around here). I got cornered by a mean pit bull a few months back, and was going to call the sheriff with it when the dog's owner finally showed up. The phone also goes with me when I do sports, like bike, jog, or (used to)ski. I used to horseback ride a lot, and now, if I still had a horse, wouldn't think of going out on a long trail-ride without a cellphone with me.

CAR: Got a good, reliable make (Toyota), and got it used. I change the oil regularly to protect the engine (cheap insurance!), and keep the tires inflated properly for the best mileage. Stopped going to the car-wash (even though they did a better job!), and either wash it by hand, or let it stay dirty. (Got a light, off-white color that doesn't show the dirt!) ;D

CAR/RENTER'S INSURANCE: This year I'm trying to make my payments in the lump sum, instead of monthly, because it saves me about $8-10/month in added fees.

TV: Instead of springing for a fancy new TV for the digital conversion coming next month, I got the converter box for my old TV, and a better antenna. And OMG! The picture is unbelievably clear! Best of all, it's FREE - no cable or satellite. I only watch it about 2 hours a week, anyway.

PHOTOS: No way will i pay what it used to cost for film - I got a digital camera. I have a little Canon i850 photo printer that was inexpensive (Amazon.com), runs like a top, and doubles as a regular printer. Instead of buying expensive Canon inkjet tanks for it, I order generic, Canon-compatible ones online for much, much less. Most photos I just download & store on the PC and on CD's. For photos I print out, I look for sales on the high-quality photo paper.

AND! Here's a tip on saving money with photo paper: Most of my prints are 4x6". But I don't buy the expensive 4x6 packets of paper. I buy the regular 8-1/2 x 11" paper, and cut it into quarters on a paper-cutter. Even if I'm printing the photo as 4x6", it doesn't print all the way out to the edges, anyway.... there is a margin around the sides. So, even though my photo papers cut from an 8-1/2 x 11 sheet aren't 4x6, it doesn't matter, as the printout is smaller than 4x6 anyway. It saves a TON of paper, which equals money! For really nice enlargements, I print them on half of an 8-1/2 x 11 sheet.

BEDDING: I discovered duvet covers when I was in Scandinavia. They not only keep a comforter clean, they also hide the ugly dust-mite cover I have over the comforter. They also take the place of a top sheet. So all you need most of the time is the bottom sheet, the duvet, and pillows. The cover can be easily washed, and looks nice. (Comfy, too!) Saves on weight in cold weather. In winter I used to have the sheets, 2 or 3 blankets, a heavy comforter, and a wool blanket on top of that. Now, even on the coldest nights, I just have the duvet (with a medium weight comforter), and a lightweight, decorative patchwork quilt over that.

CRAIGSLIST: OMG - have I ever found that helpful for both buying and selling used things! I met a lot of really nice people that way, too, and got AMAZING deals.

SHAMPOO: I find the less-expensive brands like Suave, etc., are JUST AS GOOD as the fancy ones. And sometimes even better. I also add a little water to the shampoo in the bottle. Lasts longer that way, and works better, with less waste.

STORAGE SPACE: I live in a VERY tiny 1-bedroom apartment. I've made full use of door-storage items, not only over-the door hangers, but also over-the door shoe-hangers. I have one in my clothes closet for actual shoes, and another over the back of the bedroom door, in which I store tools, like hammers, boxes of screws and nails, extra flashlights, extension cords, etc. I ditched my old on-the-ground bed, and got a tall loft-bed. Lots of advantages, there! You don't have to 'make' it every day, because no one can see up there, anyway! My workstation and a couple bookshelves fit easily beneath it, and there is still tons of space under the bed (over the desk) for hanging things, or to install storage shelves. Definitely one of my better investments.

HOME INSULATION: This old place is drafty & cold in winter. Not having double-paned windows, I created a similar effect by purchasing that window-sealing plastic (attached with double-sided tape). It was inexpensive, and even without being able to do EVERY window in the house, due to configuration of a couple of them, it HAS made a difference in heat-retention. I also applied masking tape over the space around the kitchen door, which I never use anyway, to keep out the drafts in the kitchen. (Door can still be fairly easily opened in an emergency).

GARDEN, MOTION, WALKWAY, OR X-MAS LIGHTS: 'Solar, baby, solar'! Inexpensive, and they work pretty well! Best of all, no electricity!

WALKING: Although I have to drive to the next town for the bi-monthly trip to the supermarket (on payday, of course!), if I need just 1 or 2 items in-between (yesterday I ran out of coffee - a major necessity!), I combine a good workout with gas-savings by walking to the little mom-&-pop general store down the hill from me. The extra cost of the coffee at the little store is more than made up by the savings in gas.

COINS: Instead of lugging coins around in my wallet, whenever I receive change for something I've bought, the dollars go in my wallet, and the coins go into a little savings-box I keep. That way I have emergency quarters in case I have to feed a parking-meter (which is rare), and when the box overflows, it goes into my savings account.

STALE BREAD: You can feed birds with it, and it makes great French toast!

and whose father has been sleeping with the Saudis for 60 years?

prez is now promoting
be careful of scams!
Where are YOU getting your "facts" from? And since when is B.O. the bloodiest prez?!?
nm
that's true but back then we had no prez selling us....

I DIDN'T VOTE FOR BUSH. he is a horrible prez
anybody that puts their religion into their campaign that much is bound to try to force their views on us once in office. I don't think ANYBODY of any religion should do that. I hate to say it, but McCain has done his campainging very well, very tactful.
well, I'm all ready!
slow with work today so went and stocked up on milk, drinking water, batteries and candles.  Going to type for one more hour and then going to finish the laundry and cook up a bunch of stuff just in case we do lose our electric.  We usually do when there is an ice storm.  Did someone say there is another storm coming Sunday?  Haven't heard about that one yet.  Wonder if it will hit Ohio too.  I need my electric!  I need to work!
Only when you are ready
It might be too soon for you to wear them, but you don't know how you might feel in the future. If it feels weird right now, put them away for awhile. In a year (or 2, or maybe never) you may want to wear them, but I don't think now is the time to make a decision either way.
Ready, set, go
Have short trip to Las Vegas with husband and then my own trips will be to Canada (Rockie Mountains, western part) for about 10 days, Washington, D.C. for a week and perhaps a gambling trip to Foxwoods & Newport but that is an iffy one.
My former OB/GYN was female sm
but I didn't think she took me seriously as to how bad it was for me.  I had gone to her since I was 21 years old and she delivered both of my children.  I started having the PMS/heavy bleeding after my daughter was born 7 years ago.  It only got worse and worse as time passed.  Last year I started having the pain across my back and down my legs but the last two months that has gotten better.  The PMS has gotten better since I have reduced my stress level (was full-time job on-site/juggling side jobs and now at home full-time/not juggling so many jobs).  However I am feeling more now like the PMS is not so much anger but more emotional like wanting to cry when I think or look at something sad.  I still get a little short tempered and another problem is decreased libido, which normally I have no trouble in that department at all.  Loving husband, married a long time, yada, yada, yada...  Happy with life, but it is just those 2 weeks before that I suffer the most with the PMS.  Thanks for sharing about only taking the mega B6 two weeks before because I think I'll ask my new GYN.  I have pretty regular menses down to almost the day.  I am glad to have people on this board that will share their experiences.  I have learned so much today.  I can't thank you enough...    
Perhaps you are not female and/or have no
female children.

I personally didn't use tampons until after my first child. Having a period is uncomfortable enough for a young girl or any woman for that matter.

My daughter is also of a very small build and even the smallest tampons would probably be very uncomfortable but that is beside the point.

The real point here is that she was publically humiliated at a time in her life when she is already extremely self-conscious. The whole boob issue has also recently "developed" and that's another wasp nest. (Sorry sis, once they show up, you are stuck with them.)

This gym teacher has a track record of public humiliation with kids. My older daughter had a sledding accident two years ago and cracked her tail bone and a vertebrae in her lower back. She had a doctor's excuse for absolutely NO participation in PE for nearly six weeks. The school was fine with it. The gym teacher was not.

This teacher is also a neighbor down the road a bit. She's a nasty old hag to say the least. She keeps her dog locked in the garage barking all day long. When it does manage to get out, it runs into the nearest house and wrecks havoc. It has managed to get into our house before and actually chewed the cord to my foot pedal.

I didn't say a word about it. The poor thing was desperate to see daylight, people, and other animals apparently.

So, needless to say, I will be sending her an email this morning and see how she responds. If I still think she is unreasonable and unapologetic, I will forward my email and her response to the district office.
R U female? We can do ANYTHING!! n/m

Need female help for DD sm

My DD is away at college.  She is on BCPs and I don't know the brand.  She has irregular bleeding and all sorts of problems and no, I don't think she levels with the clinic where she is seen on campus. 


She started her period yesterday before we took her back after a weekend home.  Today, she tells me she doesn't feel like she is in her body, spacy and weird.  She is flowing heavily.  I can't pay her ER bill and I am not so sure we are quite there yet.


I told her to drink lots of water, not to take a hot shower because that will dilate her vessels, start the next pack of pills to see if that will stop it (which is safe to do) and most all, GET TO BED AND SLEEP.


Any other suggestions? She is only 20 and she didn't start until she was 15.  She has been on and off of pills and they all seem to do this.  I could never take them for the same reasons and I want her off them when she is home for the summer because this is just stupid and scary.  She is 4 hours away and I can't get to her easily....oh help!


Thanks so much.


...and why do they specify female?

I saw that too. He had that look like when he's about ready to BUST

Looks like you are ready to party.
I'll be right over. LOL Have a nice weekend. Plan on having a couple of cocktails myself. It has been a long week.
Let's get ready to..........transcribe! lol

Ready for round 2... sm
I have been seriously considering having it done a second time, which my doc had said might happen. Periods aren't *that* bad, I just don't want them any longer! ;)

My cousin had it done in the office and the pain was so excruciating, they had to stop the procedure. Apparently the machine was on trial, and they have since decided not to perform in-office procedures. Fortunately, she hasn't had a period since.

I highly recommend having it done. Best of luck to you.

Thank you. Will just wait until they are ready. nm

Christmas, not ready!
I can't believe I spent some of my grocery money to get a Christmas tree when I have nothing to put under it, duh.  Heck, I didn't change my calendar from November to December until December 12th.  Now I realize it is less than 10 days until Christmas.  Maybe I can go to the Dollar Store, lol  I guess there are a lot of people not ready money wise or mood wise this year, right?  Even watching the news is depressing to me, all the talk about donating and giving when I cannot do either this year.  I guess medical transcription is the wrong profession for me since I cannot make any more money than I could at a fast food place, lol, but I cannot figure out what to change it to.  Thanks for listening.
Wow, you are always ready to defend
your lack of self-control. If you have to use a credit card you CAN'T afford it. If you have to finance it, other than a house, you CAN'T afford it. When you use a CC you are not using your money, you are using someone else's. Just accept that some have a different opinion than you and you will get a negative reaction from time to time.
My female cat does something similar...
She acts like she is wiping her feet like that in the same spot in front of the TV.  Every time she walks past that spot, she does that.  I have no idea why.
Just female problems?

What is it about being near 40??  Was having heavy TOM, started BCPs to help, and have now had a continuous TOM for 23 days.  I am completely exhausted by 7:00 every evening.  Does this sound like just female problems or should I ask for an ultrasound to make sure there is nothing really bad going on? 


My female dog usually lifts her
leg to urinate. She learned it at the dog park, watching other dogs. I know it's a dominance thing, but it's embarrassing to have somebody ask if she's male or female, and we say female, and then she goes and lifts her leg and does the back foot scratchy thing like a male! Except her scratchy action is more like a ballet move where the foot is off the ground and she reaches back with her toes pointed and wiggles it in the air. Most dogs are trying to scent-mark, scratching the ground with their foot pads and kicking up mulch and dirt. Apparently it's not worth getting dirty for Sasha - a Siberian that we refer to as our poodle, LOL.
We had a female Rottie who... sm
Would lift her leg to urinate. A lot of times, she would actually squat a little, AND lift her leg at the same time. It was very strange! I don't know how she did it w/o getting urine on herself, but she did. She was very ladylike about it.

In her case, it wasn't dominance of any kind. She was the sweetest, most gentle dog with people and all other dogs. She was the 'omega' of the pack, not a dominant bone in her body, so I think it was just learned behavior.
That's one problem with being female (sm)
Women too often hear that medical problems are related to either our periods or menopause. That doesn't mean we should have to suffer just because of our hormones we can't help. :(

That would have been rotten to start your headaches at age 12. You sound like you have a strong family history of it, too. Nothing helped you or your family?
My female maltese

is 10 now and developed this problem a couple of years ago.  It was not just at night, but anytime she was asleep, napping in my lap or asleep on my pillow snuggled next to my head (not a good way to wake up btw).  It seemed to come as a complete surprise to her, as she woke up during or immediately after urinating, not before.  All of her labs were normal, the only explanation was that it was a hormonal imbalance that occasionally occurs in older female dogs that were spayed at a very early age.  As nearly as I could determine from the records I got from the lady I got her from was that she was about 3-4 months old when she was spayed.  Since dogs can also have unwanted side effects from hormone replacement she was placed on antihistamines which resolved the problem for the most part, but she still gets the late night trip right before bedtime.  Since your dog just started this late in life it may not be from the same thing, but it couldn't hurt, assuming that your dog has been spayed, to consider it as a possible cause if no other explanation is found.  Here is a link to Merck Veterinary Manual online edition page that describes the condition (you may have to cut and paste).

Maybe the female wants to make sure
that they aren't hiring some little hottie that might steal her man?
I agree. When he's ready, he'll want to do it.

Was just about ready to post cat on the beagle
I am former owner of pedigreed female Beagle with the best tri-coloring One has ever seen. I not longer own her, cannot go there at this time. I will try to post my precious Pinkie at this time. If I can't oh well Note: She lives in Hawaii. I am her grandmother. Sorry could not upload her! Tree-Walker Hound she is
Is China ready for the Olympics?




















another female teacher found having sex
with her students, 14 and 15 yo boys!  This makes me sick.  I swear, if a teacher ever touched my son I don't know what I'd do.
He looks like an aging ugly female! nm

I have two cats, one male and one female-
the female's name is Ophelia, a.k.a. Miss Thing, a.k.a. feefee, feebee or feegirl.

My baby boy's name is Curly, a.k.a. Curls, a.k.a. fattyboy, crybaby boy, or kittyboy. I once decided he should have a Native American name so his full name is Curly Purrsloud Longtail Kittyboy. :D Although now the poor baby has just been diagnosed with diabetes so I may need to make that Curly Purrsloud Longtail takes-insulin-well Kittyboy. :)
I am a 33 y.o. female with an abnormal mammogram. sm

After the test the tech told me to wait so she can run the films by doc to see if everything was okay or if he needed more images. This was my 1st one. She returned and said she needed more images.


I waited 20 minutes.  Then she said you'll be here for a while, he wants to order an ultrasound.  I was so scared by this point.  All by myself.  No explanations.  My breasts are "lumpy" which is why my GYN sent me there in the 1st place.


I rec'd my postcard in the mail that he wants to see me AGAIN for more images. Why? Anyone with this before? He didn't recommend me to a surgeon or anything. Just more images. I haven't heard a word from my GYN either and I'm sure she's gotten the results as it's been a while now.  So, I'm going back next week for more images and I'm scared to death.


I have 3 young boys and a hopeless husband (I mean that in a good way) who can't really function without me.  Anyways, please let me know what you "think."  I just don't know. I do feel sharp pains in my left breast at times.


had a female -- Vagina!! no kidding.

Female hair loss

I'm wondering if any of you all have experienced, or know someone who has, hair loss.  I'm 32 and for the last few years my hair has been thinning.  Of course, for the last few years I was on Zoloft, and now that I have stopped it we are hoping I soon will once again have a full head of hair, but just in case...


How do you handle it?  Wigs, scarves?  My hair has always been my one vanity, so this is somewhat disturbing.  Any advice would be appreciated. 


Thanks in advance,


HC


No, nothing personal. They can ask for female or male.

Male or female so I will know if I am interested. NM

Female anatomy and the brain
I do a lot of neuro dictation and I've noticed that seizures and migraines tend to increase in a lot of females with their menses.  Anyone know the link between females having an increase in both of these problems with their menses?  Would a hysterectomy be helpful?  I'm truly curious about this.
I'm jealous that you have garden food ready now...sm
Good luck keeping the critters out so you can eat it all yourself!
yes, i have to say it did, but my kids were ready too, so i do understand how u feel

I'm always ready to share pics of my dogs..sm
I'm going to be in real trouble when I have grandkids if I'm this crazy over my dogs - I do have two granddogs - Golden Retrievers, but no pictures of them to share at the moment.
to be cheap - I buy ready made blankets
big lots, target, saw them somewhere in an add for 2.50 in yesterday's paper - that does limit your size but I'm making them for no reason - it is very therapeutic for me - just really got into tying those knots - made them for my daughters at Christmas (adults) and now I am thinking it would be good to keep one in cars too, for trips and in case you got stuck and it was cold because they are warm!
I am more tired getting ready for a holiday than if I were to work are you?

I don't know about this "Easter Bunny" business.  I have today off and there is not much work anyway, so I decided to get ready for Sunday (I have 3 little kids).  All I did so far today was go get my daughter a dress, and my boy an outfit, got all the basket stuff together and put them together.  Then, I worked on me, day of beauty stuff, hair, etc.  I have not worked today, yet doing these things I am exhausted! And I still have to dust, vacuum, declutter office, and bake a cake. Not to mention clean my sons' bathroom (eewwwww).  I am putting all that off until tomorrow. Does anyone else find that although transcribing can lead to fatigue at times that doing chores and getting ready for holidays is more tiring? 


Ugggg, calgon take me away.... Happy Spring Holidays everyone!


Are you ready to be brave? Take a deep breath...
Then do it and close your eyes real tight and be glad the minute you have done it (calling to have him picked up for psych eval) Then once you have him out of the house you can keep him out with a court order. Your life will improve. Are you Ready???? Be BRAVE! I was!!!
Amy, your halo is ready anytime you want to pick it up! //
