    Yeah, it would make me wonder
    if I had a bleeding disorder if it happened that often. Most people it happens to once in 10 years.
    Yeah, that would make me ill. I am not judging you by any means sm
    as to the whys of your son living with them. If you were married to a husband like mine and then had 3 boys totally dedicated to sports - when it comes to that I have NO SAY whatsoever about my 3 sons playing ball. Their dad takes care of all of that. I don't think I'd let them move away and I don't my husband would either, BUT, if they did and my ex sister in law was the way you describe yours to be, then I'd be very upset too!

    Right now I don't get along with my in laws. At all. Never have. And to imagine that one of my boys living with them. Ugh. Makes me ill just thinking about that.

    What the he## is her problem with you any way? I mean, seriously? If she had any sense whatsoever she would smile, be sweet, and only say nice things about you ALWAYS.

    Listen, hon. Trust me on this one. Your son will grow up and see her true colors and resent her if she continues to spew hate or not like you, etc. You are his mom. I know my boys would be the same if anyone disrespected me like that. I mean, their own dad can't even look at me wrong before they are all over him like you know what.

    Let the natural thing just happen. Do the right thing. Say the right thing. Be there for him, always. Ask about his aunt. Be a huge part of his life even if he isn't there with you. Call often. And if she continues to be a twit, then you will be the winner in the end, even though right now it may not feel like it.

    Good luck.
    Yeah. My next appt is in 6 weeks though! LOL I'm not going to do anything. Make him wait..and swe

    Yeah! Make your life an exiting one, this keeps you young, forever!.
    The birth certificate has NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!

    You are as old as you feel and if you maintain yourself well, also OTHERS will see yuo young and say 'Wow'!

    Example: Jane Fonda, she is
    looks amazing, she is 71!
    SNAP OUT OF IT???? That's crazy . .sm
    The people who said that to you don't care about you, and have absolutely no compassion. I took a grieving class at a local hospital when my dad died years ago. It was the best thing I ever did. With a job and very, very young children, it was hard for me to take the time to grieve. Don't push it aside, you need to let the moment hit you and work through it. It's harder to grieve when you push it back. . . Check your local hospital, also, it was an awesome support group and helped tremendously. God Bless You. Don't let ANYONE tell you to snap out of it or get over it. You NEVER "GET OVER IT", you will always, always miss her.
    Snap judgments are unfair. nm

    Stay away from anyone who tells you to snap out of it...
    they are the ones who truly need help! I lost my dad and a grandson within a day of each other 18 months ago and still have not gotten over it. Granted, it is not on my mind as often as it was at first, but it is still everyday that I think about them. I truly have not had a good grief session over it. My doc said it will happen when I least expect it. He also suggested grief counseling and I am now starting to think I do need it. I am sorry for your loss. When our parents go it just reminds us of our own mortality. Good luck to you.
    Back in 1990 we had an unusual cold snap, and (sm)
    the lakes & ponds here froze over, as well as local swimming pools. It showed on the news that people were ICE-SKATING on one of the lakes in Golden Gate Park!
    "Oh Snap!" kind of bugs me but then I remember I'm getting older :-) (sm)
    I am sure every generation has little catchy phrases like that which the older generations don't like. But I thought about the "Oh Snap" thing and really they aren't saying anything bad, so I guess it's okay and I'm just getting older!
    yes, and now they stay off cuz my fingers are swollen
    lol...working me like a dog.
    Keeping my fingers crossed that
    Sanjaya's number will be up 
    Eeeek! (crossing my fingers against PG!)
    LOL
    I guess you know because it is not your fingers you are losing, NM

    I have osteorthritis in my hands & fingers. - sm
    Also getting it in hip. For the most part, I would say the pain has come on gradually, increasing in each joint over a period of a couple years. Only exception was my right thumb. It has severe OA, which gave me no trouble 'til one evening when I was at my mom's, I was bored, and I texted a bunch of emails to my friend on my cellphone. The next day my thumb ached like crazy. With rest it felt better, but never did go back to baseline.

    The quality if the pain is usually not sharp, more like dull ache that varies in intensity. Occasionally, though, moving the affected part in the wrong way (especially turning my hip & thigh inward) can cause a sharper jolt.

    Without x-rays & a doctor exam, you probably won't know for sure what it was. As the other poster said, there could be some kind of an acute injury, or even a muscle spasm. But then again, it's always possible there is arthritis in the hand that was quiescent until now.

    Now that I know it's not an acute injury, I find heat and gentle stretching to be of help. Also NSAIDs for when it flares up. Most importantly, I keep the part moving. The hip bothers me when I run & do other vigorous exercise, but I find I can warm up, work through the pain, and it ultimately feels better afterward. WARM-UP is the key.

    Same with the ouchy thumbs, especially when typing. I keep my workspace warm (I don't use (or even have) AC in hot weather). In cold weather I keep the room war and use typing-gloves.

    I would keep an eye on the hand, try to take a few days off from typing, or anything else that makes it worse. Try researching the symptoms online, and if there's no improvement within a reasonable amount of time, since you're an MT and need your hands to make a living, I would self-refer to an orthopedist or a hand specialist. Still, try giving it some time & rest. It could be you were working really hard up to that point, and upon making a sudden, possibly slightly awkward movement while reaching for the cup, the muscles in your hand cramped up. I find that kind of pain to be worse than a fracture!

    Take care!
    No kidding. I'm not typing my fingers
    to the bone for a week or two straight just to buy a freakin' purse! Maybe if I was a CEO or something, but not on my MT pay. Or maybe if I was an MTSO, LOL...
    Boys wrap their moms around their fingers too

    Apparently you, for example......I know moms of boys and sometimes I think some of them are delusional about their *boys/men*.....I don't know - I surely just don't get it.....as much as I try to get it.....


    They used to do that with extra fingers & toes on babies that
    s
    And yes, I could type minus first joints of fingers. It

    I would make a good Beth with wig on. Not sure DH would make a good Dog.
    xx
    Yeah!
    I'm so glad to hear she's improving. :-)
    yeah
    i tell ya it is the account, the others mt's complain about it too. i understand all the companies have their good and bad, but i have no idea who i should be looking at for rad work and who i should stay away from. there are always gonna be disgruntled exemployee. i would just like some unbiased opinions on who to look at and who to stay away from!
    Oh yeah she was
    She may not have had a choice in keeping that boy for awhile. This woman didn't even do a good job at acting like she was sad at her daughter's death. If Anna hated her mother at the time, she's perfectly entitled to. You don't have to love your mother just because shes your mother, just because its the right thing to do. Unfortunately they were not able to mend their differences and give forgiveness before her death. The moment was what it was, at the time she hated her so I believe her wishes should be respected.
    Yeah!
    I'm glad you did it. I hope things improve for the kids.
    yeah, i just went to the doc sm

    it was a new patient visit.  i thought i'd try a different doc, but i like my old doc better.  i didn't talk to him about being tired alot.  i did talk about my leg.  i have vericose veins in my left leg that give me problems.  i'm only 35, but feel old! ha!  my leg will swell a little, is warm to the touch and aches almost every day.  you sound like you do really good!  i wish i could get myself on a good schedule so i can at least walk every day.  my 5 y/o will be starting kindergarten in the fall, both my kids will be gone all day so i hope to get on a better schedule than what i'm on now.  my 5 y/o now goes to preschool three days a week and i take him and pick him up, takes time away from my work, so then i sit here and try to stay caught up on my work.  my bp runs ok i guess.  when i went to the doc on wednesday, it was 118/??? 80 something i think.  what is considered low?? 


    thanks for your input! 


    Oh yeah!

    Yeah, but if she is saying
    she forgot it at home, then it can't be true. She would remember eventually if it is sitting there at home. I don't know what I would do, guess it depends on your relationship with her. As for me and my sister-in-law, I would simply say don't lie to the poor child, just tell him you didn't have the money to buy him anything and you're sorry!
    Yeah, tell me
    about it! They are nasty! That's why I would actualy like to take my kids to a nice beach this year!
    YEAH RIGHT!
    You watch he will turn around and sue! I glad they refused service. He is so arogant!
    Yeah, and they will tell you that they
    will accept a settlement, and take a lesser amount as a payment in full, but what they don't tell you unless you pin them down on the phone is that they will put that on your credit report, that it was settled for less than the full payment.
    Yeah me!
    Miss Lily's mom here.  I went to the vet today to go over Lily's lab work.  We had her tested for every allergen known to man and she's allergic to mites off the chart basically.  I also brought my brother's dog in since she has a lipoma the size of a softball that I want removed. Anyhoo, the vet was talking about how hard it is to find good help with the animal for the weekends and how hard it is to truly tell if someone will be good with the animals or not until they get in there.  I told her I was looking for something besides transcription to do part time, so she gave me a job. :-)  It's mostly cleaning but I'll get give the weekend animals their meds and treatments and do some filing and typing...all that fun stuff.  I didn't even ask what she paid, as I'm sure it isn't much but it will be a nice change of pace.  Plus I get free vet care. :-)
    yeah....
    it's called YMCA.
    Oh yeah, here we go...

    I can sure sympathize with you here.  My mother is going through same thing.  I have 5 siblings, there are(were) 4 girls 2 boys.  My next to oldest sister was in an auto accident 12 years ago.   She was one of those champagne on a beer budget and just thought she was better.  She and the younger of 2 boys were like peas in a pod.  Very close.  She was in a vegetative state after the accident.  My brother was in charge of her SSI money and such.   He would bring my mother money every 2 years.  Well at 5 years he just quit speaking to everyone, even his child.  Have not seen or heard from him in 7 years.  Why would you just quit speaking to your family?  No one has done anything to him.  He dated a friend of mine one time and told her he was from Canada and that he had a different father than us and that was adopted and not to ever let my baby sister know because she would be devastated.  Well ???.  He had/has this fixation with Canada.  He is not from Canada.  He even looks like my father so it is obvious.  No reason for him to be ashamed.  We are not well off but we are certainly not lacking and we are all hard workers.  He has just disappeared.  My mother tried to kill herself when she was pregnant with him because of other reasons, but blames herself for him being this way.  She did not harm her pregnancy, just believes in things coming full circle.   Well sister that was in accident passed away back in Nov.   This brother does not know that we are aware of.  Older sister has a pill addiction (I’ve told this story on here before, sorry.). 
    At any rate she allowed my mother, who was taking care of her recently after some surgery, to see her messed up on some pills.  Mother and I did a mini intervention back in April, have not heard from or seen sister since.  Mother used to speak to her every day.


    I just saw her today after going by to pick up something she had of my mothers.   She asked how mom was doing, I said fine and probably better if you would call her and talk to her.  Her response was…”ell the phone works both ways.  She could call me.”  I said, yes your right it does work both ways and you were in the way so you pick up the phone and apologize.  Her response, “Well she’s the mother she should know better.”  This girl is 50 years old, how childish and irresponsible is that.   I feel she owes an apology and my mother said, which is true, what good is it if she does not mean it.  She just does not want to see her end up a vegetable like my sister.  So she feels now she has lost 3 children.  My mother is 70y/o and does not need this stress.


     


    You don’t either.  You just have to reach a point that you must move on with your life.  My mother dwells on this and how do you just walk away?  Makes me so angry.  Told sister that our little sister would be coming in from Michigan (darn near canada! HMMMM ..joking) in July and told her when and that we were planning to spread sister’s ashes then.  “Well we’re going on vacation that week”.   Well fine, I say let them go.  If she can sleep at night and the drugs are more important than her family, I say so be it.  I’ve been really freaking about trying to find my brother in the last few months.   Was told that if I could find SSN I could check with SSD and they would tell me who paid taxes in last on him.  For all we know he could be dead somewhere but how do you find someone who obviously does not want to be found!  What are they thinking!



    The way my mother feels is that people like that that don’t even care for their own flesh and blood cannot care for anyone, much less themselves.   They did not mind asking for money and a place to live everything they needed it and she always gave to them.


    Oh, yeah sm

    That's the first place I feel it. Do whatever you can to reduce the stress and if that doesn't work, see your doctor.


    Of course, I am good at giving advice, but I haven't seen a doctor about my stomach problems.


    Yeah let me know - thanks (nm)

    Yeah, my cat. Should have kept the cat.

    Yeah, what is it about
    yard sale buyers who think they can dictate what time an individual seller has to be open for "business." ? If I want to start at 9:00, then my sale is only for those shopping after 9:00 - don't be knocking on my door. @@


    Yeah, I know-don't
    rag on me. He was really sick a couple of years ago with a fever of 105 and I didn't want him upstairs. I wanted him downstairs with me so I could check on him all night and keep track of his temperature. Well, he has never gone back upstairs. His sister scared him up there and he is too scared to sleep up there. We are planning on fixing up his room soon and get him a new bed and hopefully, that will help. What is so unhealthy about it?
    yeah, me too . . . nm
    xx
    Yeah, I know just how that is sm
    Now, if I could only find my camera..... LOL. It's been underneath something for about 2 weeks now. Bet it shows up when I move all the Christmas presents.
    Yeah (sm)
    Why can't we get someone in there who is like a regular Joe or Jane like I know--"Yeah, I'm sort of religious. You know, I go to church on Christmas and Easter if the kids haven't eaten 15 pounds of sugar already. Otherwise, I usually sleep in a bit and get ready to watch the Nascar race."

    I'm not dissing religion by any means--that's not the intent of my post. I'm just interested that all the candidates always profess that they are so religious when it's time to pander for votes. Sure, I believe some of them are religious, but I have a hard time believing that they all are so religious as they want us to believe.

    The best thing I think I heard Ron Paul say (and I'm no Ron Paul fan) was something to the effect of how unfortunate it would be if Mitt Romney (who I am not a fan of either) or anyone else was not elected simply because of religion. I couldn't agree more.
    Yeah, sure!
    At my new job we all come inside for breaks, and I'll find myself sitting at a table of the quiet guys because that's who showed up when I did for break. They just keep their heads down and look at horticulture magazines, and I can't think of a thing to say that would be worthy of breaking the silence they are probably enjoying. Because they're guys. Ha!
    Yeah, maybe that's it....
    I don't feel sorry for them, though.  I believe that they live that lifestyle willingly, that they believe it is a religious duty.  I am a Muslim woman and I wear a "uniform," too.  People look at me many times as if they feel sorry for me.  I just laugh inside.  I am living my life the way I want.
    yeah

    My mom is kind of a natural healer person and I have been doing this since I was small.  It isn't helping.  I tried colloidal silver in my throat and nose too, but nothing.  I am thinking its not an allergen or a bacteria but related to my period since it comes the exact day before my period and lasts until day 2 or so of my period and then its gone like it never happened... I just wake up and all the symptoms are completely gone.


    Thanks though.. its a good idea for anyone who hasn't tried it.  I know it wipes infection away for me superbly!


    Yeah - don't do it
    Didn't she learn the first time. HA HA HA
    Yeah!

    Ya oughta try to find a 46D -- almost impossible.  However, I do buy mine at Catos and at Lane Bryant.  They have really pretty ones.  My problem is I need an underwire for support, but they are the most uncomfortable things in the world  


    I HATE BRAS!!!!  I am from the bra-burning generation - - hee hee!  Burnt a few in my time, and would like to burn a few more.


     


    Oh yeah.........
    Vin Diesel is hot! If you've ever seen the movie Ferris Bueller's day off with that song with the guy with the real low voice that says "oh yeah.....oh yeah...." That song pops in my mind when I see Vin Diesel. I saw him interviewed after he did the Pacifier movie. Sounds like a really nice guy in "real life".
    Yeah
    I gave fake information. oops
