I would go ahead and make an appointment
with an ENT stressing the problem you are having. If you end up getting better or going to an urgent care first you can always cancel the appointment. It you know of an urgent care that you trust you could give that a try. Good Luck
Lucky Gwyneth!!! Go ahead, make your Monday :)

If you don't "go overboard"
you may be burying your child. He is being totally selfish and irresponsible, like most teenagers, and needs to be shown that is wrong. You need to let his father or your husband handle this. He needs to deal with someone he knows is serious and will not back down. You don't need to protect him from punishments, you need to protect him from himself. Honestly, I know you love him, but if you don't have the backbone for something this serious then let someone who does deal with it. Will he say horrible things to you, you bet. Will he mean them, at the time sure. Do you want him alive and not in jail in 10 years to apologize, I bet you do.
I took the door off my daughters bedroom, I did daily searches. She had nothing that was sacred and no privacy because she had lost that right in my home. She was not allowed on the internet for the last 3 years she lived here. Things like that are not a God given right as these kids would like to think. But it IS my God given right/responsibility to try to teach them right from wrong, to have rules and to enforce them and to keep them safe from themselves if need be. I know you love your son, but if you really love him then you need to be willing to step away if that is what is best for him. To many teenagers these days don't take responsibility for their actions and to many adults do not hold them accountable in fear of hurting their feelings.
Ask yourself what kind of adult you want him to be. Who is going to teach him to be that adult? Stand up and fight momma, that's your responsibility as his parent. And guess what, my daughter is on her own and in college now, and I'm the first one she comes to for advice!
Were you saying, "Go, go!" I was and I am married!
Makes you crazy.
"go brush your teeth" -- kid don't listen
You know, truthfully, I have a nearly perfect 7-year-old kid. He's well-behaved, patient, kind and honest. Why is it, then, that we have to have this big fight EVERY night and EVERY morning regarding "go brush your teeth." I have to tell him this six to seven times before I am heard. Then I'm grumpy about it, nagging how they'll rot, turn black and fall out. My only thought is to try ignoring him when he requests something, making him ask me six to seven times. That might work. Gotta love him, but this really irks me.... Anyone else with a similar dilemma?
My favortie "go-to" for recipes in a pinch is Allrecipe.com. sm
They have, or used to have anyway, an awesome ham, egg, and cheese casserole that was similar to bread pudding in consistency. DH LOVES this. Good luck.
PS: If I bring a dish to pass, can I come too??? LOL.
Go ahead but you are so wrong.....
So the more "so-called" religious people are, the more judgemental, self-rightous, opinionated, and unforgiving???? Nothing in the bible has been proven. There are endless contradictions. Heck, some people believe it was fiction. It is only the way you lived and the way you treated others that will matter in the end, and hon, pssssst......you're failing! lol
You are so good to think ahead!
We bought a PS2 last year...what were we thinking...now of course our son wants a PS3 for xmas this year. Go figure.
I hope to start a xmas fund for next year but I always say that and never get my rear in gear to do it. Xmas just gets more expensive as they get older.
I have only bought a few small things so far but trying to look at catalogs and get some ideas and things done now. It is right around the corner!
Good for you to be able to get a big gift out of the way so early. I bet that feels great! Who knows, maybe this will be a great xmas memory for you and your son. :)
Don't forget to ahead of time...sm
Figure out what you want to sell things for, and check ebay to see what items you have are currently selling there, and don't sell for less than that at a yard sale.
For example, recently I sold a used PDA for $20 + $10 shipping on eBay that my attempts to sell at a yardsale only had offers of $5. It had all of the original packaging, books, cables, etc and retails currently for $100.
I also sold a sump pump on eBay for $25 + $15 shipping that originally cost $80. At our yardsale I had guys bickering at wanting to pay even $15 for it.
Bottom line: Know the market and have fun, but don't be a sucker! :o)
Go ahead, have a laugh at my expense.
A lovely young lady came up to me while my mother and I were inspecting my perennial garden in my front yard. She introduced herself as a missionary from Nepal from a nondenominational Christian organization. She was just adorable. She was selling jewelry as a fundraiser for her group. It was some really unique, eye-catching stuff. I spent $35 on a bracelet and necklace for my daughter, my daughter kicked in $20 for the matching earrings and my mom spent $40 on a bracelet and necklace for my niece for her birthday. This was such an unusual thing for me to do, but I have been working so many hours and really not enjoying life and I had fun looking at all her stuff. I gave myself permission to splurge because it was for such a good cause.
After the purchase, my husband looked up the name of the group on the internet. My mom, daughter and I just contributed $95 to the Moonies. 
They jumped ahead 5 years! Not sure why!
The only thing I can think of is that they wanted to find a way to keep Orson on there without him somehow getting out of doing the jail time for running over Mike. Also could have been a way for Nicolette Sheridan (can't seem to think of her show name right now) to come back so quickly with a brand new husband.
In those 5 years, Mike and Susan got into a car wreck in which a mother and child were killed. Susan (or both of them) had a really hard time dealing with the fact that the mother and child were killed, and it ended up causing too much of a rift between them so they divorced. We just found out that that Nicolette Sheridan's (is her character's name Phoebe?) husband was the husband/father of the mother and child killed in that car wreck, and he blames Mike for it and is seeking revenge. He's trying to become good friends with him, and we don't really know what he has planned for him.
While Orson was away in prison, Danielle came back and took the baby away from Bree because she had married and now wanted to raise him. Bree had such a hard time dealing with losing the baby and Orson being in prison that she started drinking again. During that time, Kathryn was a big support to Bree, and they became very close friends and business partners in a catering business.
Kathryn and Mike have just started dating, which isn't settling too well with Susan because deep down she still loves him very much even though she has a new boyfriend.
Carlos lost his sight from his injuries in the hurricane that killed the Mayor, Gabby's husband. Gabby and Carlos got remarried and had 2 children. Carlos just got his site back.
Tom and Lanette have been running their pizza business and raising their children. Their oldest son, one of the twins, was having an affair with his friend's mother, who was married to an abusive man. Lanette and Tom found out, and Lanette tried to force them to stop the affair. Well, the married woman told the boy that she was pregnant. Lanette was confronting the woman, and the woman's husband overheard them talking about her being pregnant. The husband beat the woman, and Lanette went back in to help her. Then the boy confronted the husband at the husband's bar and threatened to kill him in front of everyone.
In the meanwhile, Dave, Phoebe's husband, set the club on fire to cover up that he murdered his psychiatrist because he was going to tell Mike who Dave really was. Dave has framed it on Tom and Lanette's son, so they are dealing with trying to prove that he didn't do it.
Lanette paid the woman off and made her leave town. Turned out that she wasn't even pregnant after all and was scamming the boy to try and get out of her marriage (I guess).
That's the basics. Not sure if you even wanted all that information. I sound pathetic knowing all these details I'm sure, but what can I say - I'm hooked and don't miss a week.
Not boasting, but I'm actually ahead of the game sm
We changed our lifestyle quite a bit over the last year. We just built a new house out in the country, so we are not ordering in as much. I actually make a menu for the week and buy groceries for that menu. I plan my meals ahead of time, but we still allow ourselves the luxury of eating out, usually once on the weekends. We were very fortunate to be able to budget for a geothermal heat pump, so heat bills! YEAH!!!! Because we went with the full geothermal (not just a regular heat pump), our light bill didn't go up that much either.
I have 3 kids and they are all elementary age and play lots of sports. They're all playing baseball, and the parents were given the option to either work the concession stand 1 game per child per season or pay $20. Needless to say, I'm working the concession stand for 3 games and saving that $60.
I also took on a part-time job in direct sales. It has been a Godsend. Not only do I get out a couple of nights a week with other ladies to have a good time, but I also get paid to do it. I make about $200 a night for about 4 hours of work, although it doesn't feel like work. I'm also on my way to earning a free vacation for next year through this company. This year, we're headed to Disney with the money I've made so far from direct sales.
I knew I needed to make a little extra income. I work part-time for an MTSO now about 6 hours a day, and the money is good, but I wanted a little for the extras. This direct sales thing was right up my alley. I don't know how long it will last in this economy, but I intend to "ride the wave" as long as I can.
~~~A smile costs nothing but can be everything to someone~~~
Okay, here's my posting! Go ahead and post your LAST WORD!
I know you're just ITCHING to!
and thank you for the entertainment! :)

Can you go ahead and print the alignment page?
The print heads on HP printers are in the ink cartridges, so when you change the ink you've got new print heads to align.
I think they require this alignment before they will work properly, so if you can print the alignment page successfully, the message should then disappear. If not, then check your printer properties in Control Panel for other diagnostics.
I call ahead and ask if he's running late.
They'll usually tell you. Then I get some other errands done. They have said that if he gets caught up in the meantime you will have to wait.
Funny, but I find the earlier I arrive for my appointment, the earlier I get in. They must take arrived patients in if the scheduled appointment is late.
Go ahead and flame me now....There is not one woman I would nominate...
let alone vote for. And I certainly would not vote for one running simply because she is a woman. Women, in general, tend to be catty, jealous, use their gender to get ahead, and hold grudges much longer! No way do I want some hormonal woman making decisions that affect millions! And yes, I am a woman, and I don't feel bad about my opinion.
...Look for sales if at all possible if purchasing ahead of time. nm

Ribs would be great cos you can do them ahead of time

yep - Spring ahead, Fall back.....
We even set the table ahead of time w/all the serving

not every child in the 3rd grade is going to have the mentality of a 3rd grader. some or ahead
and some arent. some still believe. there isnt that much difference between 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders...i am talking about an entire classroom of thirty children. she didnt use the word " exist"...she had children raise their hands as to what parts of the story is false and fiction...i just think she could have found a diff story, didnt have to talk about santa ya know?
Hysterectomy. Thank you everyone for your thoughts and opinions. I have decided to go ahead with t
After obtaining the opinions of different physicians, the concensus is that my safest bet to avoid developing cancer given my borderline ovarian tumor is to proceed with a total hysterectomy. After pondering and fretting, although I am not thrilled with having a hysterectomy at age 42, I also don't want to be faced with developing cancer in the future, as they tell me I have a 20% probability of developing problems in the other ovary with my history. So full speed ahead....hysterectomy it is. If anyone of you has had a complete hysterectomy, I would love to hear from you regarding how you fared after the whole thing, if you required hormones, felt good, felt bad, etc. Thanks in advance.
Put your clock ahead for Daylight Savings Time if you didn't do it yet. nm

Anyone with a good rum balls or bourbon balls recipe? Thinking ahead to Christmas
s
At that rate, I could make in a week what I make
x
I would make a good Beth with wig on. Not sure DH would make a good Dog.
xx
That just does not make me think more of you. You are still sm
still coming off as a spoiled woman and not deserving of her time, money, or affections. Lady, you are one spoiled woman.
Anyone know what something I can make up
husband wants another (we already have 3). I'm secretly taking the pill and he wants to know why I am not getting pregnant.
I was thinking of making up something like "I cant have kids anymore because of something" ..... anyone know what "something" I can make up?
can't make
My chicken soup tastes like dishwater.
Well I know who all 3 are, so what does that make me?
x
Now that I think of it my DH did make up some - sm
tapes; used to DJ parties long ago; so he did the music (his contribution other than showing up!)-- and we "snapped" up the china, not stamped it up! Boy, too much sun on Saturday I guess! We did have a photographer too (that is in that $5K figure); did a very small "package" with a local studio; 2 hours of photographer time, got lucky though, got one of their better photographers who had hurt his foot so could not do big long weddings. He did a wonderful job and we had great pictures to remember the day by. (Plus my brother video taped it as well).
I don't think I would make them (sm)
They are voicing their objections loud and clear and for some reason. They must be very uncomfortable. I am a new grandma (3 years) and I don't get real involved but try to keep my GD busy and I think I would know if she was downright miserable which sounds like what your kids are. I would question the kids at an approprite time - separately and then together and then see what their responses are - tell them you will not get mad and you can keep their secret but you are concerned and would like to know. Then if a time ever comes up with your MIL and it is appropriate - drop a hint or two.
How do you make these?
I have read all the posts about these cute blankets. How do you make them ? They sound pretty easy.
Do you make your own? - sm
I make breakfast taquitos to stick in the freezer for quick breakfasts if the kids are running late, which is almost every day.
One kid hates cheese and likes the corn tortillas so I make bacon and scrambled eggs with a little onion powder, roll them up and make them stick with a teensy bit of cheese (she has never noticed it there) then freeze them.
The other kid like the flour tortillas so I do the same thing but add shredded cheese. Stick them in the freezer in gallon size freezer bags.
I can make 30 of each kind in about 20 minutes and that's 30 days worth of last minute breakfasts or after school snacks.
I know - it's almost enough to make
you join a gym, if only I could afford it. It's not my company - I think they are above board and good people and all. But I've been doing this 19 years, and my brain keeps telling me that variety is what is needed for a brain, not cave dwelling, isolated work.
Not how much I make, how much I have.

Make-up
The makeup counters at Macy's, Boscov's, all the big stores offer a free makeup application and teaching, but be careful they'll try to sell you the store. At 13, I would say base if she has acne if not, none, and a little mascara and maybe a light lip gloss.
Tell her from many of us from them 70s and 80s, lots of makeup causes creases and wrinkles as much as the sun does.
13 stinks for everybody, but probably mom more than anyone. Good luck.
Yes, I am saying to make up even if you
think it is not your fault. That is what I am saying. That is what others are saying also. You can be stubborn and refuse, but it is the right thing to do. You can say it won't work, he won't listen, but you still need to try.
There is someone here saying they make
Maybe that's the company they were talking about in the magazine. You can make $28.00 an hour or more working for doctors. That is not a lie. A lot of these companies offer their own school to work as you go.
Just because every one does it, well that does not make it right
Daresay I go against the norm and not be politically correct and say there are consequences to every action?
So let me make sure I have this right...
because I am fortunate enough to have a husband who has a good job, a great work ethic and both of us have decided to live debt free and are happy that way, I am the bad person here? Wow, how catty and bitchy some women are. Just think, I could work for a lousy company making peanuts, work around the clock to make those peanuts, eat top ramen, never have anything new, never take a vacation and then come here and complain about my life, my job situation, etc. No thanks. Some of you need to take a step back and figure out why you are so unhappy for anyone who can manage to make ends meet in this day and age. None of you would turn it down. DH and I are a team, we work together to have a good life and there is nothing wrong with that. Sorry if that offends you; it works out well for us.
Maybe they should make
those with that addiction be totally immersed in it 24/7 for 30 days. If that doesn't cure them, I don't know what will! (Especally the close-ups!) Eeeww!
It can, but make sure it is thoroughly
thawed out before drinking. Parially thawed is nasty!!!!
Oh, come on, make our day ! sm
Just change the names to protect the innocent! Spice up our boring lives!
Love to hear some of those 18 wheeler stories. My cousin went along with her husband on a trip and said the "girls" would literally jump into the sleeping area of the truck. How interesting!
I would do the same. Why not make
Christmas nice for some other child? It would certainly show your child what the season is really about, kindness and generosity.
I make that, only I use
cream of chicken soup instead of cream of celery . . . we all love it.
Another good tuna meal is to mix the tuna up the way that you normally would (mayo, salt/pepper, etc.) and then add grated carrots and potato sticks. Not too good leftover, as the potato sticks become soggy, but it's great when they're added in right before serving (for leftover, you can just add some fresh potato sticks to liven it up again).
my mom used to make those...
I find them at Super Walmart on occasion and they taste almost the same
I would either make
a Pineapple Nut Cake -
Preheat oven to 300 degrees
Ingredients:
2 eggs
2 c. sugar
2 c. all purpose flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1 c. drained crushed pineapple
1 c. chopped pecans
1 tsp. vanilla
Beat eggs, sugar, and vanilla 'til sugar is dissolved. Add flour, baking soda, and pineapple. Add nuts and pour into greased/floured 13 X 9 pan. Bake at 300 degrees for 50-60 minutes. Cool completely before frosting.
Cream Cheese Frosting:
1 8-oz package cream cheese (softened)
1 stick butter (softened)
1-1/2 c. powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
Combine all ingredients and mix well.
My other choice is Watergate Salad. Been a long time since I made it, but it is one of those pudding/marshmallow deals, using pistachio pudding, cool whip, crushed pineapple, marishino cherries, pecans . . . I can't remember if that is all, or the quantities, but has to sit in the fridge while the marshmallows "do their thing". I'm sure the recipe is easy to find on-line if you're interested in that one.
I also might just eat the pineapple by itself!
I normally DVR and just make sure I
don't hear anything and watch it the next day since I work nights.
You do not have to win AI to make it
big. Look at Daughtery and Kelli Pickler. They are both doing fine without winning.
yes! the boy is not able to make....
decisions for himself for now... the mom is so convinced that God will keep her boy safe... He won't... He wants people to take advantage of the advances in medicine that have been made... What, if your son is drowning, do you stand back and see if God hauls him out of the lake, or do you throw him a life saver? Why turn down the only proven therapy against cancer?
