In my house sleeping w/ your head anywhere near my husbands feet is a fear factor stunt all on its own!!!

Slept in a recliner for a year before I got mine....LOVE IT. sm

I have degenerative disk disease in my lumbar and cervical spine.  We got a king sized, fully adjustable because of the level of my problems.  I rarely have had to use the adjustments because having found my "number" I am provided with an incredible night sleep.  My number is 35 and it has changed my life.  I have significantly less pain, I can sleep ALL NIGHT without rolling over and over and over in pain.  Wish I would have gotten it when it first came out.  We have had it for 2 years now.  I recommend it to everyone who asks.


Ooops, sorry. My last post said "head head." I meant "her head." Sorry.

It is HYSTERICAL! nm

HIPPA is a joke - who here really believes there is ANY SUCH THING as privacy these days in the good old US OF A?

Come on! You're being watched 24/7 - they probably know how many cavities you have for pity's sake...

Another huge beaurocracy just to give the ILLUSION we still have a scintilla of privacy left.


OMG - that's hysterical! - nm
:D
That is hysterical!....sm
Ain't it great we're wordsmiths with vivid imaginations!!! You turn a phrase very well. Mind if I share it with some other friends?  Cat
lighten up, I think it's hysterical
It's the family / abdomen part that I'm really cracking up over.
I think it is hysterical how things have changed since I - sm
graduated HS in 1983. My parents did not send annoucements (for me or my 2 older brothers), nor did we get super extravagent gifts, I got a suede jacket I wanted (about $80), my brother's I can't remember, I think my one brother got a new car stereo because the one he had had been stolen. On the night of graduation, my parents took me and my best friend (who was living with us at the time), and her parents (have moved a month before graduation) out for ice cream at an ice cream parlour at the mall. That was all we did to "celebrate" as a family. I received no $ from anyone nor did I even think to solicit it. It is just amazing how everything these days has to have a reward, graduation Kindergarten, graduating middle school, graduation high school, college, etc. It never ends. I did not even attend my college gradation, I felt no need to force my family to sit for hours while the went throught the hundreds of graduates to watch me get my diploma. I had it mailed to me. For college I did get a used car (before I graduated) but only because I was working 3 jobs, had wreaked by bicycle and my dad's car he was letting me borrow (the brakes failed so it was not my fault in terms of being reckless or stupid). Plus all my money which amounted to $200 a month went to art supplies and feeding myself. I went hungry now and then too and had to borrow from the University on short term loans so I could eat. My parents had the money to give me but I wanted to take care of myself. They paid my tuition and my rent (about $5K a year altogether). I just think the attitude today is horrible. Kids expect everything handed to them, a car at 16, money to get gas, buy clothes, go out with friends, all handed to them, mucho money on graduation HS, etc. All we are doing is raising a bunch of lazy kids who will think the world revolves around them, and when (if) they actually get a good eduation and go out into the real world, they will be in for one heck of a shock unless mom & dad continue to substidize them, etc. then of course the kids will expect you to live frugally so when you die you leave them $500K or a million so they don't have to worry about anything (or to blow it). Sorry for the rant, but graduation annoucements, etc. just really rub me the wrong way. Since you don't even know the person who graduated, (and even if you knew them well) I'd just send a nice card and say congrats, have good luck at college and work hard. If you do send $ don't expect to be thanked, that is another social grace lacking today. I'm only 40 but boy it's amazing how manners and good taste have slipped through the cracks in only 20 or so years.
That is hysterical. When I say flames I mean "no mean posts to me." It's just a saying. nm

Six-Feet Under
I was totally stunned - can't believe it.
Six feet under

I KNOW!!!  We were all sitting there with our mouths about hitting the floor.  We could not believe it.


Please, please, no more on Six Feet Under
It's killing me not to read these posts.  I "Tivo'd" it and haven't watched it tonight.  That's what I look forward to on Monday nights.  What will I ever do when it goes off???
what did you think of the Six Feet Under
It seemed a little rushed at the ending.  I was also expecting to cry or get emotional or get shocked like I usually do.  It was very mundane and the ending was rushed.  Looks like everyone died exactly the same way, except the gay boyfriend.
Six Feet Under...
Quit acting like an ostrich and pull your head out of the sand.  Pick up the paper some time and read it or tune into the news when you can fit it into your busy schedule because it's really important for you to know what's going on in our world today.  Of course, your other alternative is to keep doing what you're doing, with your head stuck firmly in the sand, thinking companies are paying bucco bucks/line rates in today's world economy.
Pes can also mean feet.
Or footlike part.
Six feet under drama
Nate sure left a mess, so far they've bad mouthed the Iraq war, fantasized brother and sister romance (shudders), where else will they go?   Who's going to be a goner in the finale, I feel its coming.  They've set it up where anyone can either off themselves or do something crazy and accidentally die. 
yes frostbite of his feet
Thank you... I started laughing about the word because it sounded like tiny penis cured with cream.. and just can't concentrate now so I'm taking a break...lol
cold feet
I bought a cheap electric heater and run it pointing towards my feet.
Only one here, but it is 9 feet tall...
and it takes my 6'8" husband to help decorate near the top. Merry Christmas to all.
Best Buy does it too- was 2 feet from the door, guy saw me pay, still had - sm
to show my receipt, which I had already put away in my wallet. Pain in the butt!
crow's feet...
I am beginning to notice crow's feet around my eyes ...help! Any advice on a good eye cream to help prevent these from getting any worse would be sooo appreciated!
swollen feet
I had swollen ankles/feet last year and found out it was my high blood pressure medication causing it, so was switched to another, but then developed a cough, so then switched to Benicar with no problems. Sometimes medications can cause the feet and ankle swelling. My doctor also suggested getting up every 1/2 hour and walking around as all this sitting just does a number on our bodies. Epsom salt soak will help also. Mine occurred during the hot summer months.
RE: swollen feet
Mine swell, too. The only thing I can think of is to drink plenty of water throughout the day and walk around a bit when you can. Also, during your lunch break, prop your feet up. If you soak them, use tepid water, rather than hot.
I warm my feet.
When my hands are cold, I warm my feet. Not sure why that works, but it does! I have an electric heating pad under my feet (type barefoot or in my socks) and it warms me up. I also have a blanket I crocheted and that helps too.
Hair and feet

My feet swell a lot after sitting all day, so I also make sure I get up for at least 5 minutes every hour and stretch.  I stretch my arms, shoulders, legs, etc. and walk around to get some circulation going.  This does help.


My eyes started going too, so when the headaches were everyday, even just glancing at the monitor, I knew it was time to make the visit to the eye doctor.  I found an excellent doctor close by my house that knew what he was doing, as I had been to another doctor that screwed me.  There is such a thing as "computer glasses" and the doc spent much time with me asking questions on what I do, how close to the monitor, etc.  The first day of using my new glasses, no headaches!  I had visited the other doctor and was told I had "computer glasses" but after showing them to the new doc, he said they were nothing but regular glasses with not even a prescription in them.


For your hair falling out, I have scalp psoriasis, so when my stress level increases, my hair falls out even more.  I have been under tremendous stress lately and actually have handfuls at once coming out.  I have been to the doc, had all the tests done to make sure it wasn't thyroid or anything strange.  I would suggest you see your doc and make sure of that too and go from there. 


Best of luck!


Typing with feet up sm
There were many times when I could have used this advice, would love to see some pics. How I have suffered over the years with tapes! Things are getting better and it's important to take care of our legs or we could get DVT. My PT suggested sitting on a balance ball which she said a whole insurance company does. I was petrified of the balance ball at first but it really is something you can get used to. (I never did use it for work.) I also have seen pics of people working on a treadmill, standing with the laptop on a raised platform. In my younger days I think I could have done this and remained much healthier. Where there is a will there is a way. How I wish some of these options would have been available to me during the years I suffered with winding tapes, sitting for hours and in pain. Just when things are getting better -- along comes outsourcing! Perhaps things will change for the better for the newcomers, I sure hope so. Please keep posting your new ideas, there is a better way. After all, we survived electric typewriters, carbon paper and White Out! Keep on keeping on! I love the idea of working in a recliner, how much better for our backs, just be sure to get up and walk around and exercise now and then to keep the circulation going.
I have a cat who dashes in front of my feet
I'm thinking of using one of my dogs squeaky toys to get his attention when he cuts me off again, that will show him!
that one surely has both feet in their mouth right now.
When someone points a finger its usually to make themself feel more powerful, sad and unhappy person.  Honey, all came here the same way, we came from dirt and are going back to dirt.  You keep being strong, raise those babies the best you can and be proud you don't have the mentality of the person making such a crud statement. 
The storm surge of 28 feet is said what will cause
There are many people who have remained in their homes as they are poor, disabled or quite elderly.

Hard to imagine how they would expect 485,000 people could evacuate in one day.

Yes, have been there, too. It is so historic and a great vacation place.

If the predictions come true, this city may require rebuilding.

I just cannot believe the magnitude of this event. I shudder at the thought of what tomorrow with bring.
You could do what I do and put a heating pad on low over your feet as you pedal.

My doggy likes to lie on my feet
while I am typing, the trouble is he messes up my foot pedal.
Oh yes, my new favorite show since Six Feet Under went off
nm
My feet don't touch the ground so I
When I sit in my chair, my feet don't even touch the ground, because I need my chair height to be such that I am not looking up at the screen.

I have big platform sandals that I use. They are great. One on each foot. You can move your feet around, but they are nice and high from the ground, like a movable foot stool.

Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance!
I JUST WANT TO PRAISE HIM - your post made me misty, thank God for you!
Definitely SATC, Friends, and also Six Feet Under.
I still watch SATC reruns every night and I really want the DVD collection, but it costs about $200 for the whole thing. I'd have to say my favorite is Carrie. I didn't always agree with her choices, but I saw more of myself in her than any of the others.

Loved Six Feet Under and I really miss that show, though I am getting into HBO's new show, Big Love.

I actually still watch Seinfeld reruns a lot, too! I do like Julia Louis-Dreyfuss in her new show, The New Adventures of Old Christine.
1000 square feet?
I can't imagine living in such a cramped space! Why, our master bedroom suite alone is 850 square feet!


Try switching feet? For the life of me
I can't seem to get the hang of using the footpedal with my left foot .... no coordination there at all!

To the poster with foot problems, you might check with podiastrist ... maybe you have plantar fasciitis or a bone spur?
My MTSO says its cause they are FEET doctors. lol

Switch feet temporarily (sm)

It can be done.  Takes a little bit to get used to, though.  I did it several years ago for a heel spur.  Now I have pain in my foot pedal knee, so I went back to the other foot, and it was like no problem. Now I'm foot ambidextrous.


Ok, Six Feet Under fans, did you catch it last night?
I'm sad.
