when mine were pups, they'd chew ANY electrical cord sm

In Reply to: My dog just chewed up a second freaking headset! - RockinMT

I'd be working and all of the sudden everything would go dead. I swear I'd watch for them, but they'd sneak under my desk and do it. Phone cords too. I became very good at splicing phone/electrical cords. But once they chewed through my C-phone (back in the day) footpedal cord. I totally freaked. No one could fix it. Company was a little miffed, but they wanted me to work, so they sent another ;-)

Hang in there. She might grow out of it... anyhow, if that's her picture I see, I could never get mad at that sweetie.

Oh... you might want to check regular headphones at the store. I stepped on the ones my company sent (cracked 'em in half) and had to make an emergency trip to Walmart. The ones I have now (Sony I think?) are actually better than what I had.

My cat chewed through the cord on mine while sitting on my lap LOL

weird, mine loves to chew on
plastic bags from the supermarket- I didn't know if it was the sound or what, but they get really gross and slobbery. She also likes to lick photgraphs- I left one out once and she licked it until the picture was gone.
One more thing, the electrical current differnt, so
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Electrical current through foot, the other hangs in walking midway through a step, anyone else?

have this problem? I have been to numerous physicians, have been told neuropathy. I am walking so gingerly this morning around the home because know if I step flat on 1 foot (left) it will have the electrical current as happened earlier this morning. Always when walking, never with lying, sitting, etc. You never know when it will happen. The other foot (pedal foot, right) will hang in mid air sometimes when I am taking a step which makes me hop so I will not fall. Gosh, I would love to look forward to my vacation this summer but sometimes the feet ok and then other times not so good. I know the electrical current is probably nerve related but have been told so many nerves in the foot would be like looking for needle in haystack to trace down. I mostly only wear bergies and put them on as soon as I get out of bed. This is not good!!


pups

Hey Misha,


I'm sure Sasha and Juneau will get along very well....Sorry about CJ.


I've had dogs that were dropped off in the country....beaten, shot at and half starved to death....my other dogs would bring them up to the house....they did the same with cats.  It took about 6 months before Ugmo (a Heinz 57 breed) would come up and I could pet him or feed out of my hand and it took close to a year for Colleen (a ferrel/wild dog, half wolf and black lab) to do the same.


You're a great pet guardian/parent.  We don't own them, they own us!  Cat

pups
Hello, Where do you live? We just lost our Big Boy of 12yrs & are looking for another. Let me know.
Thanks
Remember the old remote with the cord sm
and the keys on the box that clicked every time you changed channels? Channel surfing consisted of untangling the frigging cord and then dragging it to the couch where you would park your fanny and click, click, click, click through all the channels. Drove me nuts. We called it the flipper box. Click, click, click. I can still hear it.
Cord blood banks
Does anyone know of a reputable blood bank where new mom's can store their baby's cord blood?  Also, the procedure for doing this?  Thanks for your help.
I chew the inside of my cheeks. Ugh.
I'm trying to quit, but I've done it for years!
Pet stores usually have contracts to buy lg.#s of pups

This was great but the box was tough to chew!
..Just kidding, love mac & cheese and this is so easy!

I had my child's cord blood banked eight years ago

This was much more costly way back then.  I compared many companies and finally decided on CBR (Cord Blood Registry).  They are definitely the most reputable.  The originating fee was $1200 and the maintenance fee is $95 per year.  The procedure itself is virtually effortless.  You are first sent a kit which you provide to your physician.  At the time of your child's birth, three large tubes are filled with the blood from the umbilical cord.  My doctor was more than willing to perform this simple step at the time of my child's birth.  Then, after collection, the kit is sent via courier to a deep freezer (I think mine is in Arizona). 


This is such an exciting prospect.  Talk about life/health insurance.  Just imagine what can be done with these cells many, many years from now.  Will my child never have to develop cancer?  Could a spinal cord injury be reversed?  Could he be cloned?  Just imagine the possibilities. 


Truthfully, eight years ago was an eternity in this business of cord blood banking.  I feel it is truly cutting-edge technology.  Yes, it was costly, but when I think about the truly invaluable possibilities, I felt compelled to have this done.  Now, it is much more affordable than it was back in the beginning stages of this technology.  This is even much more valuable when siblings are involved.  I, however, only have the one child. 


I don't know of anyone else who has done this, at least not in my circle.  With my medical background, there was just no way I could not do it.  Sorry I got so lengthy about this, but I am a huge advocate of this concept.


Walk those beautiful pups, the best antidote
to a very depressing, blah day.
I believe they just chew it. I learned when I purchased a plastic

Those pups loved tugging on the purple 'bobo.' nm

Don't know about your God, but mine
my God is more forgiving than that!

She is not doing anyone any harm, so to say she will burn in h*** for celebrating the fun part of Halloween, not evilness, is the whole reason I do not attend church!

I never did it with mine. For one, I would have been
too embarrassed. My mother used to do it, but we have come a long way since then. I find it kind of primitive. I think nothing is wrong with it in your own home, but in public, I really think you should think about it. There are all kinds of weirdos out there and you just don't know what is in their minds. I see nothing wrong with breastfeeding INSIDE YOUR HOME, but there are folks who would get offended by doing it in public. I would not be offended, but really...I think you could put some of that breast milk in a bottle before you go out.
Mine is up

and FAKE -- Me and my fam are all allergic!


Have red/white/blue/silver these.  Looks awesome.  Have lights up outside too!!!!


HAPPY HOLIDAYS!



Mine would be...
Laxatives
Laytex gloves
a metal detector

mine too
have to light a fire under his butt in an attempt to get him out of the house.
Mine did nothing at all, at least he went out and tried - sm
more than my DH did, though mine did ask me what I wanted, I told him, he told me to go buy it. This is typical for him. He used to get me beautiful jewelry for b-day, Christmas, annivarsary, that lasted for about 2 years or so, then it has been buy yourself what you want. I do not get bent (what is the point) though a little effort on his part would be nice. He did surprise me on our 10-year anniversary though this year, got me a beautiful opal necklace. As for the kids, my one daughter gave me 2 things, my other nothing, but she gives me wonderful drawings and such all the time, she just has a selfish streak I guess and does not think of others only herself. I just talked to her about this, maybe in the future she will remember our little talk and some good will come from it. My DH needs to learn somehow to have the kids get things for mom on special occasions, yours does too it seems. My neighbor has the same problem with her husband. Basically they are lazy people. He does none of the shopping, gift wrapping, packing to leave (except for his stuff of course), etc. He did buy 1 or 2 gifts, which I of course wrapped. This will probably never change until the kids are gone and he is an old man. I have seen it happen but not until grandchildren are on the scene and these men become model husbands for some reason, whether it is out of boredom or fear of the wife finally saying "I'm out of here, go fend for yourself", or they get struck my lightening, who knows, but beating yourself up about it is not the answer. If you are truly unhappy, get out, or kick him out. But if this is his "flaw" then either live with it, and buy yourself what you want each year or do something about it. It is your call how you deal with it.
mine went away
I had one on my nose for about a year and all of a sudden it just vanished and has never come back. It always bothered me because it was so ugly, but it never hurt and I didn't have to pay to zap it.
Two of mine have had and he will run
fever if he does not drink or eat the popsickles and get sicker. You probably know but you can cool him down with tepid water, try that. You will really have to keep up with you have to drink or eat cool, cold so he will not run that fever.
Yes, mine are
never and I mean never tempt fate. i could never say I was sick or someone else sick say if I wanted to be off from work, no, no, might come true. I have to knock on wood when I say something that is an iffy thing, don’t want to jink.
LOL, I had mine do just that
I gave him a testing tape. It took him hours to get through a page, typing with two fingers, with everything lumped together in one big paragraph, headings and all. Not to mention all the mistakes. lol He now says he has no idea how I do this. I told him I don't know either. : )
LOL! Mine does that too!
And I love how they can never puke/cough up hairballs on the tile, they always have to find a carpeted area (which stains). They can be in the middle of the tile kitchen and find the only rug!
Mine do that too! LOL!
I have tiles in my kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room, yet they decide to leave me presents in the living room or bedrooms where it is carpeted! I own a steam cleaner just for that purpose! LOL!
ok, here's mine...
Awesome: Ellen Degeneres (sp?)

Lame: Oprah
Mine is like that too. (sm)
I don't know why they so strongly believe that aggressive driving is good driving. DH always wants to drive or else he goes nuts, but when I occasionally end up being the driver, he needs to keep quiet so I can concentrate. Just because his BP is through the roof shouldn't mean mine has to be. Lately even when I'm the passenger I don't put up with it. As he starts up, complaining about traffic the moment we've pulled out of the driveway, I calmly remind him he'll live through it. He is starting to realize what a pain he is in the car.
Mine did this ONCE -
We were first married and actually WERE, uh, busy...You never saw someone hit the door running so fast. It never happened again. However, if I were you I would definitely lock my door and put up a sign asking everyone to please knock. It is YOUR house.
Here's how I got out of mine...
I called the cell phone company, said I was trying to cancel but got disconnected and had to call back.  When the rep said I had to pay termination on both phones I said the previous rep said I only had to be for 1 phone disconnect fee.  After going back and forth a little bit, the rep caved and only charged me for 1 disconnect fee.  Worth a try.  Good luck.
Mine
used to go on "business trips" and would never check in as well and came up with a world of reasons why. He was seeing other women. That also played a role in lowering my self-esteem, but now I look back and actually feel sorry for him. He's alone and will never have the respect or relationship I have with our children. It's just pitiful, but he made his bed.

I hope you have family you can talk to and get support from. If you need to email me, please feel free. I just know how you feel and I hurt for you right now, but I promise you, it'll all be okay.
Here are mine...sm
Knitting, crochet, cross stitch are my favorites, but the projects keep piling up in a corner because there is no time, and too tired to get through even 5 pages of a book at bedtime.  Wish I had an adventure-filled life to blame it on. 
I got mine a GPS....sm
he gets lost VERY easily so I figured he'd love it.
mine are like that too.
The last time one of them was home he straightened out one my cupboards and they like to cook with me and play board or card games.
That is exactly how I fix mine, YUM! (nm)

First mine said he was gay

He deliberately married me for a "front" (he was in the military) and didn't bother to tell me he was gay until we'd been married 6 months.  After years of confusion, he ended up having a sex change after marrying a second woman and having a child with her.


If you're lucky, he's just curious.  But you really need to get the truth out of him, and be prepared for the worst.  If he's really confused about his sexuality it may take him years to figure out who he "is" and what he really wants, so it may be difficult for him to tell you the truth because he might be in denial about it himself.


Mine was only 10 or 11, but she had - sm
aggressive, metastatic breast cancer that spread to her lungs. Vet said I would "know" when to have her PTS.

I knew when she didn't want to do anything but sit on the couch and stare off into space. No longer wanted food or attention, just occasional water, and kind of a blank stare. Was also out of breath all the time. So I had a long talk with her about it, and she just seemed to be saying, "Do it - I'm ready."
Well here's mine (sm)
I can lean on the slacker side sometimes too so here is what I do: get my tea- start half an hour early - read any interesting news on Yahoo, check and respond to emails, look at MTstars ;-) - just get that out of the way. Through the day I tell myself I can't switch over and check email or anything until I have done a certain number of minutes, etc., which earns me an email break. I also have motivational music on my computer - like The Blur's Woohoo! song that I play in between when I am doing things that don't require listening, like sending my work and things like that.
here's mine
Life is good, I am SO blessed!
Mine is on my arm
I want a new one on my back but i'm afraid to get it done here; my one and only was done in Austin, Texas. Mine's pretty big, it takes up almost my entire upper arm.
yes, I got mine on 05/02
I was under the assumption that married people get 1200. Not true. We only got 600. The VA took 167.00 of it, so that left us with 433. Not exactly what I was expecting, but will come in handy.
I'd rather be where you are but here's mine:

Mine does this too
And I am in my 20s. I have them sometimes many times a day for a week straight or so. I am going to my cardiologist again soon but I assume it is nothing to worry about because they dont seem worried. I have a feeling they will do a Holter or something, but it is so hard to catch them because it seems it essentially just does it when it feels like it.
Mine is not like that but just as bad
After 25 years of being together he still has most of his stuff. He doesn't touch my stuff and I don't touch his. It is so hard to get him out of the mindset of keeping everything. He says there is a lot he wants to get rid of but the actuality of doing it? He can't bring himself to part with it even though he says he needs to lighten up.
Mine is....
"hisself" instead of himself. Drives me crazy.
Here goes mine..
ax instead of ask,

beedroom instead of bedroom (I think that's an Australian thing) or for that matter, betroom instead of bedroom

Daytawn instead of Dayton (& from residents too!)

The use of the f-word & the s-word in every other sentence... (if not every sentence)

The over-use of the word "basically" As in starting every other sentence, "Well, basically it's...."
Mine are:

warsh for wash (a common Hoosier-ism, I guess, but I still hate it)


liberry for library


chimbly for chimney


and my mother-in-law pronounces crayons "crins"


Mine is 10 now
and of course he doesn't remember this anymore but my hubs asked him the other day if he wanted a hangaburger. He just thought his dad was weird. LOL Kids are so much fun.
Here's mine....see pic
I usually have a calico kitten sleeping on my notebook, but I'm not working this afternoon, so not sure where she is.
