short arms, short-term memory loss...
I too suffer from Short Arm Syndrome. Add to that the short-term memory loss that middle-age brings and I have now discovered I need to lasso the &*%$ reading glasses around my neck or my day will be spent wandering in circles asking the dog where my glasses are.
I have two pairs, per advice of doctor. I do not wear glasses all the time, so he thought I was not ready for bifocals. My son gave me a wonderful eyeglass case for Christmas that is big enough to hold both pairs should I ever venture out of the house amongst the living.
I did manage to find some "sporty" looking around-the-neck-eye glass holder thingies - what DO you call those things? I'd use twine before getting those multicolored beaded ones. I have a neon coral one and an emerald green one. Too bad I can't find the former, I can't remember where I put it.

Enbrel works great for me. I do the shots twice a week.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Does anyone out there suffer or know someone who has RA? My mom was diagnosed this year, she is not yet 50 and her doc says she has it worse than anyone she has ever seen this soon and young. It is also progressing quickly. Her prednisone is not working and the hydrochloroquine is not working either. She is scared of the side effects of other meds out there, I don't blame her, they sound scary!! I am scared that this is going to cripple her, I know she is scared too. I would love any input you all can give me. Anything they have tried that has helped, even unusual methods.
Thanks.
I am going to try this. I have arthritis in my knees so I don't know (sm)
how "powerful" my walking will be but my doctor has assured me that losing 20-40 pounds will do great things towards reducing my knee pain.
Dieting alone is not going to do anything other than make me a pile of flabby skin.
You have inspired me. Thank you.
psoriatic arthritis causes toe pain
what does arthritis feel like? -- blew out my hand
Last night, while simply reaching for a cup of coffee, the entire back of my right hand developed excruciating pain. Stiff real bad right now. It feels like all of the bones from my knuckles to my wrist on the top of my hand are all cramped and grinding. Loaded on pain pills right now, still pain. No health insurance. Could this be arthritis? What's it feel like? --- help
anyone have an aging dog on meds for arthritis pain??? sm
my bassett is 13 years old and has arthritis in her hips and probably other joints. the vet put her on Carprofen and the first few days she did great! then she started having diarrhea and acting like she's hurting again (shaking, panting, a little whining). I told vet, she said to stop meds until she is over her "sour belly". she tested her diarrhea and it was fine, no blood or parasites. she went without her medicine for a day and a half and it showed, as she couldn't walk as well (which before she went on this medicine she couldn't use her back legs). so i started giving her medicine again. vet said the carprofen was going to be temporary. i was reading some bad side effects for this medicine. i think this medicine is making her have the diarrhea. she's only been on the medicine for about a week and a half at the most.
just wondered if anyone else had pets with arthritis problems and what you used to help. i'm not sure if i should try something alternative. or maybe even Dr. Frank's spray.
thanks
Thanks - I will try the powder - just got new shampoo so won't try the Dawn yet (nm)

I like the light powder snow...sm
cause it's easier to shovel than that heavy wet snow....Do you shovel or does someone else do it for you?  Cat
Borax washing powder is not dangerous.....
Borax sold in the supermarkets for laundry washing and other uses is not poisonous to the public. However, REAL boric acid is......just be careful with it.......that's all.....regarding pets and people.......
try italian dressing powder packet that you mix yourself. sm
i marinate for about 3-4 hours in this and then grill. tastes really good. you'll have to mix it with vinegar. read packet and mix as directed and then marinate in it.
Also might want to have cornstarch baby powder for in between showers. No Message
: )
I use Dawn dish detergent, shampoo twice. Also use powder before bed on my head
I put the powder on my scalp and work it through the hair close to my head at bedtime. The powder absorbs the oil. This gives me a couple of extra days between shampoos.
U R right, I like NYC for pencils, but Rimmel has great foundation, powder, liners, etc,.....sm
and Maybelline, which is very low cost, has some of the best mascaras in the industry. And for lips, I really like CG (Cover Girl), they have glosses, traditional lipstick, long-wear formulas, etc, and they are very inexpensive, esepcially at walmart. Take care, my beauty budget is extremely limited, too, but I still take the time to use skin care, hair care, and make-up every day, just to make myself feel good. Then you don't feel like you are "schlepping!"
K9 Advantix is working for our pooch. Also put garlic powder and brewer's yeast in their

What is your fav med term?
Salpingo-oophorectomy. Don't know why, it just has a ring to it.
The term you might be looking for....
attention hoor?
I use the same term and you and I both know
it means absolutely nothing at all and Paula getting in a twit and then Simon duh went right along with her.
Term papers
Does anyone know the going rate for typing term papers nowadays?
The usual term is
selective nerve root block.
Can you hear that?
Otherwise, just see what you get with googling
nerve block, sciatica, selective.
You must not come to Stars often, This is a term

When I hear the term
single mother, I always think you have not been marriedI To me any man who says this to ANY woman, don’t care whether married, single, divorced, widowed and each of us falls into 1 of those categories, unless you really know him well and know he is kidding and you have started off paying for things, this is probably how he is looking at you, being a sugar mamma to him.
I'm with them. There is a term called metrosexual. Don't
!!!
Please don't use the term "trailer trash" (sm)
It offends me...children have no choice but to grow up where their parents raise them and many good decent people live in trailers. I grew up living in poor areas, part of the time in trailers. I was a good kid, good grades, tried hard to be a good person but got made fun of a lot and called "trailer trash" or "white trash". It is very unfair to group people all together in a big clump and stereotype them like that. I overcame the way I grew up, but to this day, if I decide I want to move into a trailer, I sure will.
Not the right term to use here. Amen against religion?nm

Ok, but there are NO long-term studies!!!
And I don't know about you, but my daughter is NOT going to be a guinea pig for this vaccine!!! My daughter's doc keeps asking me to allow her to have this, but since they have no idea of the adverse reactions YEARS after the vaccine, there's no way I'm going to subject her to it. I really hope 10 years from now the girls that had Gardasil don't have problems with fertility or heaven forbid, have babies with birth defects because their parents let them be guinea pigs for drug companies!
you don't know the long term problems with it, but we know what happens without it! nm

It's a term of endearment at my house
My grandmother is affectionately remembered as the California Bag Lady. She had a home (trailer in a trailer park) and a car. Both were stuffed to the windows with STUFF. STUFF that she might need some day. STUFF that she got for free. STUFF that was valuable. In reality, after she passed away, it was mostly STUFF that went to the dumpster. But she was so cute about it. I don't know exactly how to explain it, but it was who she was and I wouldn't have had any other grandmother! Yes, she had lots of bags! She was an artistic sort too, and she would draw beautiful pictures on the brown grocery store bags with chalk.
Are you considering a long-term relationship
with this gentleman? If so, you might want to give some serious thought to his money issues as they could very well become your money issues.
His joke was probably just an attempt to be funny, though rather clumsy and thoughtless. Since it bothers you, you could discuss it with him and tell him why it made you angry and base your next move on his response.
It would be his actual money issues that would be of greatest concern to me.
yeah, there's a term for revenge of this kind-it's
What a wonderful term!!! I gotta start using that one!

I agree - they don't know the long-term ramifications
texas made it mandatory according to the governor making it mandatory (Perry is his name, if I recall correctly) - and that was just PLAIN WRONG. You don't make this kind of thing mandatory and go against the parents wishes....
20 years down the road, we will REALLY see the ramifications of forcing this drug on young teen girls....
Oh my. I think it's a...well...sweet term. I'm curious why it bothers you?

the term *eliminated* brings horrible memories
*eliminate, exterminate* when it comes to talking about humans (even if the perp here in your article acted inhumane)...
horrible memories, i.e., The Final Solution from 1939-1945....
please find another word....thank you. 
Is it legal to evict a long-term tenant - sm
who has always paid the rent on time, simply because they want to 'remodel'? I've lived here for close to 20 years, and just today out of the blue, the manager walks up and hands me an eviction notice! I was like, "Huh????" and he said they wanted to "renovate". But my unit, only. I guess others have gotten new rugs, appliances, etc. as tenants have come and go, but I've been here forever (and pay rent that is considerbly below market). I've lived here forever, don't drink, never had a party, keep it pretty clean, etc. The heater, oven, fridge, bathroom fixtures, etc., are old, but still in perfectly good working condition. So, I asked if I'd be able to come back afterward, and the manager said they were going to raise the rent (to far more than I can afford) once the renovation is complete.
So my question is -- Do you think it's legal to evict a tenant just because you want to put in a new rug, new paint, etc., and charge more to the next tenant? I'm thinking about calling a lawyer, but don't know if I have a case or not. If I move, I'm going to have to go at least 60-70 miles away, in order to find affordable rent.
    
Cell phones - How dangerous is their long-term use?
Hoax or not, the long-term safety of cell phones is still very much in question! They are not innocuous, and emit harmful electromagnetic radiation in varying amounts. Just as policemen's radar guns laid in their laps have caused testicular cancer, so the incidence of brain tumors from cell phone usage has also been on the rise.
That very thing happened to my stepdad, a brain tumor & aneurysm right above his right ear, where he holds his cordless phone constantly. Cell phone signals decrease fertility of humans & animals alike, & Swedish researchers have proven that they are ESPECIALLY damaging to the brains of children! Cell phone-using kids are FIVE times more likely to get brain cancer. I gave mine up over 5 years ago & will never use another one on a routine basis. This issue is being covered up, but is certain to become the controversy of the 21st century, just as tobacco was in the 20th century.
WIRELESS NETWORK!!!- sounds like you are getting hacked (for lack of a better term)
You need to secure your network. Check outside your home at these times for a strange car. A neighbor with a teenage boy or girl using a wifi connection to access your network getting on a porn or gaming site that bills via a VOIP dial-up It can be done.
you want to make sure they cant access you need to secure your network with passwords and such and turn your router off at night when you go to bed no wireless = no connection.
Hope this helps feel free to email if you need some more info.
Definitely short ones
I love in Fridays when my doc does all his patients that were tested for allergies that week.
Short. Not in the least bit Jewish.

hopefully this will be short-lived
I'd still send pictures, etc., especially to your grandparents. Good luck!
My hair is very short right now.
Short layers and all I have to do is spray a little hairspray on it and run my fingers through it and I'm good to go. It has gotten much thicker over the years and hair color has helped with that too. I hate that I have to color my hair, though. I started going gray almost 20 years ago and I just turned 40. At some point, I will bite the bullet and let the color grow out, but haven't gotten there yet. Not ready to be totally gray.
My hair is short
When it starts to get even a little long, I have to go out and get it cut. I don't like the way my hair or the way I look when it gets too long. I just put some gel in it and go. The only thing I don't like is that it can get dry in the sun. I've been dying my hair for about five years or so (46 now). I won't let it go gray, but that's just me. My daughter is only 4 so I feel I would look like her grandmother if I let it go gray.
My 8 y/o is a size 5, but she's SHORT...
for her age! I really hope she grows into her feet soon, looks like she has clown feet :) She's only 4 ft 3 in., but has some of the biggest feet for her age.
I have only seen short segments
as I am flipping through channels and man, is that show filthy! Is the story line that good?
Long and short of it -
While I can appreciate his desire to stop spending so much time in his car, I think the solution he is suggesting would only be very good in the short term at the most. The reality is you all probably need to sell your house and move closer to his job.
I always wanted to be short in HS, like
most of our little cheerleaders were. Now I see my height as an advantage, and i have to admit that even my freakishly long arms do come in handy. Funny how priorities change ...
My dad short-tempered and
was always yelling and pounding tables and children about the dumbest things, and mom was cold, bored and depressed, so it's hard to say.
It's so hard to shop for Mother's & Father's Day cards!
for short people
why is it the one item i need is on the very top shelf so far back i cannot reach it?
Life is too short
Unfortunately, life is actually way too long to be very, very poor, old and alone, and if you can't get along with anyone when you are young, you are not going to be that hot of a catch at the nursing home.
my short list
Milk
Liver
Okra
Tofu
Indian food
Thai food
Sushi
my short list sm
Lima beans
soft-cooked eggs (where the yolks are too runny and the whites aren't quite firm - and forget any with the shell accidentally left in)
fishy-tasting fish
Chicken/turkey liver (beef and deer is okay)
raw onions
big gobs of mayonnaise (a little in salad is okay)
tuna without celery.
