I'm sorry, I don't, but if she hasn't seen
a rheumatologist, I'd try to get her in with one. I hear the wait around here is a long one. I would definitely get people praying for her.
no he sure hasn't
but that's it
It hasn't too much, except in the 401(k)...
We are debt free but the house, the payment only requires one of DH's paychecks (he gets paid twice a month and then on the off weeks he gets his overtime check) or my paycheck for the month when I can get my lines in, we have never taken out a second mortgage or touched the equity in our home. Our mortgage rate is low to mid 5%, cars paid off, CC paid in full, great credit score and we live below our means. We still take vacations, eat in restaurants, etc. Our circle of friends don't seem to have any problem with this economy, other than investments. We are in our late 40s, early 50s, kids grown and gone, we don't pay for college. DH drives 66 miles round trip to work, but has an economical commuter care. Our SUV gets about 20 to 24 mpg, which compares to some newer ones out there.
My DH has worked for the same company for 25 years, however, layoffs are coming, and he is putting out his resume just in case. He will get a nice severance package, etc, if it happens, but we are planning in advance just in case. House is up for sale, a few very interested people, and if it sells we will make enough profit to buy a house free and clear.
We have always lived below our wage and I think that has helped us tremendously. Do we want new cars, TVs, etc, sure, but why bother, we don't want the payments that come with them. We are happy with what we have, don't have a lot of the gimmes or wantitis that has a lot of Americans in debt up to their eyballs with no way out.
Mine hasn't, but I went and got a
IUD (5-year Mirena, not copper) put in because I, like you, did not want to make that decision to never have kids again even though I am happy with the 2 I have.
The doctor and information they give you says that the IUD is as effective as getting your tubes tied. I have had no side effects and really almost don't even have a period now. If he decides against getting one, I would really suggest looking into something like this. It only cost me my co-pay of $20 to have it put in too.
If it hasn't faded yet, it probably won't but
the shades are usually based on your natural shade, not what color it is at the time.
The dark blonde should be fine, but just make sure to keep checking it because the longer you leave it in the lighter it will get. If your gray is already covered then you can ignore the extra time you are supposed to leave it on for that. Hope this helps!
P.S. For anyone who hasn't seen him perform sm
Check it out.
I know, she hasn't been on here in about a month or so
Hope she's okay.
It hasn't been long
No, I gained the weight during the time I was in pain and my uterus was swelling out of control (hormones), so most of the 3rd year post ablation. I had a lap supracervical hysterectomy with left oophorectomy (ruptured large complex cyst) on a Monday- up shopping in Walmart on Wednesday, taking care of my kid at home, too.
Since the surgery (which was only a few months ago), I have been able to change my diet and have lost 1 dress size, but haven't added exercise. If I did that, I know I could get the rest of the weight off. I'm moving next month to a place with walking trails built into the community and I hope to take advantage of that.
I do honestly believe the ablation accelerated my hormones, but like I said, everything about my body is extreme, so I'm the 1 patient in a million you hear about. When my doc first offered me the ablation, she told me that in my case, I would end up needing the hysterectomy anyway, but because I was so young the ablation would buy some time. She even said it probably would only give me 3 years before needing the hysterectomy, and her timing was exactly right.
Oh, and I have not had a need for HRT although I do have 3 hairs on my chin now (groin).
If this hasn't be mentioned before (sm)
Chances are the school has a policy regarding this. If not, the child/parent may have some recourse.
Generally school policies supercede general law and rights, i.e. search and seizure regarding lockers (they can go in them as they please).
I'm thinking if they imposed such a stiff penalty, they can back it up lawfully. It really matters not if we think it is right or wrong. If it's school policy (approved by the school board) and stated in the handbook every student gets at the beginning of the semester, then that's the bottom line.
Apparently MS hasn't seen the Mac
commercial making fun of Vista.
Neither do I, but it hasn't stopped me ;)

Exactly - why hasn't Richard aged?
Or did they think showing him with longer hair when Ben was young would make him look young, too? Well, it didn't. He looks exactly the same. And does he wear eyeliner?? (Richard)
Ben is definitely twisted. I am sure Juliet is aware of his history and that is why she does not like him and shows no loyalty to him, other than just enough to keep him thinking she is still on his side. I don't know why she and Jack had to keep that secret from the rest of the group, though. If they had just said, hey, Ben is a psychopathic megalomaniac and he would kill Juliet in a hot minute if he thought she had turned on him, so she's playing along until we can take care of him, well, I think the group would have supported them. Now there are all kinds of hurt feelings and jealousy and divided loyalties. But I guess that's the point - drama, drama, drama.
And what kind of hold does Ben have over Richard and the others? It sounds like he is as afraid of Jacob as everybody else.
This just occurred to me - a lot of Polynesian islanders believe there is a god in volcanoes that makes the lava spew out when he is angry. What if there really is one? Named Jacob, maybe?
Just a WAG. 
Time to see the vet, especially if she hasn't had initial

Except now it has a drillbit sitting on top of it for some reason....
She needs to apply for scholarships if she hasn't already.
My daughter did that and with the multiple scholarships that she got it covers nearly all of her cost and I pay the difference.
Mine's almost 47, hasn't changed. nm

He hasn't hit my child in 8 years, because (sm)
he knows I would turn him in. Has not hit me in 3 for the same reason. My pastor is giving me some resources and contact people to help me get out, not encouraging me to stay by any means. I don't go to that kind of church.
It hasn't effected by routine....sm
Not like a do a lot of beauty routine anyway seeing as how I work at home, but when I do put on makeup and stuff I haven't changed anything.
Why hasn't that hospital adopted the *Time Out*
The entire surgical team is involved in the *Time Out* and *Pause for the Cause* (called different things in different states). All involved in the surgery standing in the OR at that moment must be in agreement on confirming the correct patient, correct procedure, correct site of procedure, correct position of the patient, etc.
I went in for surgery and they asked me multiple times to repeat my name and the procedure I was coming in for as I went through multiple rooms on the gurney.
That is really scary that these types of errors are still going on.
Obviously, that is a hospital I wouldn't even take my dog to.
He hasn't lost a thing! Awesome performance!
I've always loved Prince and was not disappointed by his performance at the Super Bowl. Best halftime show I've seen in a long time (blew out Janet Jackson AND no wardrobe malfunctions!)
Hayseed, it hasn't changed my mind about little dogs
At the moment I am considering a one-year-old Papillon/Pomeranian mix that someone is giving away because she has a toddler and two dogs and lives in an apartment. It will be about a month or so before I will even begin the process, because we have to get my son settled at his new college first.
What Fox's health problems have done is made me aware of what to look for in a small dog, and what to have a veterinarian check for before I choose another dog. Fox was so stoic - he almost never complained, despite all the surgeries and pain he went through. I don't want to see another dog go through that kind of pain. It just breaks your heart.

It worked!

It worked!

Here is what I did and it worked.
When accidents occurred indoors, I never scolded unless I saw the crime. I would take the paper towel that I used to clean it up and go to the area in the yard where I wanted him to "go." After a week or two, the area was marked with the scent and the dog, when outside, concluded that was his area to go potty. Soon enough, he chose that area to do his business.
When I did catch him, I took him directly to the area in the yard which was the potty.
They catch on eventually. Be consistent and don't scare him.
What worked for me -
I lost 20 pounds doing low carb 4 years ago and have kept it off by watching refined carbs. I have always exercised and continue to do so. I like *Yourself Fitness* because the workout is different every single time. Best of luck!
It worked!
He looks like a sweet cat my in-laws once had when I first married their son. He was left outside, was intact, flea-ridden and battle-scarred but a sweet boy. Loved to have his head scritched. He lived a long time for an outdoor cat.
It worked for me.
I learned something also. I did not know that the more you weigh, the more calories you burn doing the same thing, interesting. Thanks.
Thank you T...My DH worked his way...
up to six figures (yes, the low end). You are right when you say some people think that is a lot of money when sometimes it is just enough to get by on for some people. We are fortunate and have made it a point to be debt free. We will not be a slave to the lender, working only to make payments on meaningless things. There is no reason for the catty remarks and jealousy. Some women are just bitter about life, and if that is the case figure out how to make it better. Life is too short to be unhappy.
What we did, which worked -sm
Same story here, except sometimes the dog would actually get out from under the fence and commence to follow us around our yard and bark when our neighbors were not home. My husband finally went over there one night to ask them if there was any way at all they could stop their dog from barking nonstop. They said they knew it barked and were very sorry it was bothering us. It stopped for about 6 months and then began happening again. Hubby then wrote a short note and placed it next to their mailbox, all the time stating we wanted to remain good neighbors with them but would very much like to be able to enjoy our own yard without hearing their huge dog barking all the time. It never happened again after that, going on 2 years now. No problems at all with them. Sometimes, it seems, people are very clueless or careless until you mention it to them. Try saying something in person. You may be surprised in a good way. Best of luck! 
What worked for me
Tempting though it is, you don't want to reward timid or frightened behavior by giving affection then.

When I have detected nervous energy in any of my dogs during storms, I just started playing a favorite game of theirs to distract them. The noisier and more rambunctious the game, the better. The breeds I've had are not particularly sensitive to noise, I admit, but I learned with Sasha that all I had to do was play growly bump (her own game she taught me) to take her mind right off a storm.
If this worked then....(sm)

What has worked for me - sm
Hey, I literally feel your pain! Sometimes it feels as if I am sitting on a huge nail on my right buttock. Look up stetches online for sciatica. Like others have said, it really does help. I also get chiro adjustments and get a sports massage every other week, so I can continue to sit in my chair. Hope you find some relief!
worked at an
less expensive places gave the food they were going to throw out to employees, however the expensive place I worked at was 20% discount only.
What has worked for both me and my husband...
Lower your carbs starting NOW. Eat plenty of protein, along with a little fat at each meal, to keep you full. Do not drink your calories. Stay away from ALL refined carbs until you get where you want to be and then really keep them low because most of them are plain old not good for you anyway. Never allow yourself to feel *starving* because your body goes into a mode where it holds onto fat and the amount of calories you burn really drops down. Also, you have GOT to exercise, no way around that. Get moving EVERY single day, no excuses. Following these rules has allowed me to keep off the 20 pounds I had put on from never moving out of my chair (typing ALL day) over 5 years ago. Just had my blood work done and it is EXCELLENT. Good luck to you! :-)
What has worked with my hubby -
Men want to be fed. They want REAL food. To them, that means meat. I take hubby to Longhorn that night, he orders a big steak, potato, veggies, salad, etc. I also buy him some silk boxers with hearts on them and, well, you can guess the rest! He usually gets me candy and flowers, but he is always very surprised and happy when I do things for him this day. Good luck! :-)
Glad it worked for you!
I had those shots from the pain clinic before they put me on the narcotics, but they made me way worse. I will never ever have them again. I'm really glad they worked for you though. I tried all sorts of things before going to heavy duty pain meds, but nothing worked, and I wasn't functioning at all. I looked and felt like I was 80 or more even though I just turned 30. Now, I'm on a 50-mcg fentanyl patch with oxycodone 10 mg for breakthrough pain (along with other nonnarcotic meds) and occasionally using a TENS unit.
I still don't function at 100%, probably more like 60% to 70% on a good day, but at least that's better than where I was.
I hope the conservative measures continue to work for you, but if they don't, please don't let anyone tell you to learn to "live with it." I went through that for a few years, and trust me, it's no life.
Best of luck to you!
Actually, I worked for a PC company
a long time ago supervising the commercial aspect. They always tell you that, but they can and do die in walls. We were sent out many times to cut them out after people insisted on using poison.
The best advice that I can offer is that once you get rid of them, you seal off any areas where they can get back in. If you don't do that, then you will continue to have problems.
Now rats instead of mice, I don't know what to tell you to do if they are eating through the walls!
Me personally though, I had a rat as a pet. In fact, we had to put her to sleep about a month ago.
The foil worked! Thank you so much! nm

When I worked as a nurse (sm)
There was this CNA who would open up the windows every time someone would die. I thought she was kooky (for many reasons), but she said it was to release the spirit of the person.
I'm not superstitious, but I won't eat beans more than 3 days in a row.
I know and have worked with several doctors
Actually as a Transcriptionist I was glad because so many times you'd get Dr. Smith (if they got married, then which one?) Well, if they keep their maiden name or at least hyphenate it that made my life a lot easier. I think it also may have something to do with the fact that if they are in practice, everything must be changed and imagine the expense? Also if they are well known, they maybe do not want to jeopardize that. As long as the couple is happy, and he is not offended, I think it is just fine. Congratulations! I would address the letter Drs. April Cox and Richard Grant. JMO. 
Worked around this before in cytology
and abnormal cells can also be due to an infection, just like it can be related to malignancy but I would take the lower end first. If it were me, I would definitely want follow up just to make absolutely sure the next Pap would be okay.
if the original had actually worked,
would not have had a problem with the scars. They are on the inner part of the arm, of course, as you probably know and unless I turn my arms upwards, sideways, would never know. I do not wear short sleeved blouses but it is not for that reason, for the fact my upper arms never changed any at all. Like Oprah, I have the bat wings.
I have worked on-site, but I'd have
to disagree with the fact that the typists are not taken seriously is due to the fact that it is a work from home position. The big national companies took this from us. I was an on-siter, made fairly good money (hourly), will collect a pension, and had all of the benefits (which kept getting more expensive each year). I make plenty more here from my home being an IC with my own accounts. Once the hospitals and physicians began to know that there were companies they could call on the phone, dictate, and have no worries, they took them up on it. Why should they pay benefits when the transcription companies could alleviate this expense. No worries right? No vacations to pay. No sick time to pay. No workers' compensation claims to pay for carpal tunnel or back injuries. I still feel that we are professionals. There are actually work-at-home Moms that are note typists, but have made a nice business for themselves. The work-at-home thing is a trend for parents to take hold of their finances and still run the household. I know it is not for everyone, but times are a changing. This computer age has really taken a hold of the economy. The media has really taken a hold of our children. My Mom would tell me about how they show so much more now on TV about the war then they would have ever in the past. We were saved from all the guts and blood. Those days are over. It is a dog-eat-dog world out there now, but I can say there are a lot positives. Virtual assistants are all the go... enjoy the ride!!! LOL - Take care! 
I think my mom worked at Kresgies
right out of high school for a short time. Wasn't that like a five and dime department store? My aunt used to say my mom spent her check before she had it. They closed Kresgies before I was born so I don't remember it at all,but the building is still there and they have renovated part of the downtown where Kresgies was with a theme on Warner brothers as the city was the first place they filmed.
OH THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!!! IT WORKED!!! SM
i'm going to write that down so i'll remember. hopefully it won't happen again. i told 5 y/o stick to playstation!
thank you so much!!!!
