Call your doctor's office...
congrats!
Could she go to the office to make the call after school? sm
or borrow a friend's cell phone to call after school, so she doesn't have the cut into lunch?
Also, about the cell phone, I got my daughter a TracFone which can be relatively inexpensive for times like this. It is not for chit-chat, just to make quick calls to home for times like this.
I would also call the superintendent's office or send a letter.
I'm sure you will not be the only one to file a complaint. It has not happened yet, but our school says they will call. That's part of the PTO room parent's job is to break down that list and help call. The list isn't necessarily only in the building.
Stress to vet office this is urgent or call emerg. vet.

Call your local county extension office or animal control to see if

Any office supply place, like Office Depot or Staples. Try copyholder instead of typing stand.
Corporate scandals
What gets me about these scoundrels is their lack of ethics, and the insult to the pubic when Ken Lay spoke of being a Christian - pleeeze!!! A psychiatrist explained that it is really not about the money with these pigs, it's about control - they have plenty of money, but they have a deep sickness to control, to feel control.
Might see if your local Staples, Office Depot has someone that does office machine

So corporate cheating is fine
You said - However, it does NOT justify lying, cheating, stealing insurance dollars and benefits just because you don't like it.
What do you call it when someone pays their premiums for years, they are told they are covered, then the insurance company decides they don't have to pay? Sounds like what you just described above. But it happens every day, and its supposedly OK, because its business, I used to do medical billing, outrageous how many claims were denied because the ordering physician didn't do a precert, the insurance company decided it was unneccessary, or some other little loophole. The providers didn't get paid, the patient ended up in collections,,,and IMO the patient was lied to, stolen from, and cheated out of his insurance dollars and benefits.
BTW, I do make my own money. I'm just not too pleased at handing large chunks of it to an insurance company, knowing they will diligently seek reasons to deny a claim, even if I play by all their ever changing rules and memorize my policy. And that includes the entire insurance industry, be it medical, LTD, life, auto, or homeowners insurance.
Wal-Mart corporate policy states....sm
that if you ask the person at the kiosk overseeing the self-check out lines to check you out they have to. Wal-Mart has gotten a bad reputation for not hiring people and then claiming their lack of check out lines being manned by humans is due to not having enough staff. Bull crap - if you pay well you can get good employees. I NEVER check myself out and provide free labor. I rarely go there but when I do, if there's more than 4 people in line ahead of me then I go to the self-check out lines and have the person overseeing them check them out. A couple of times they gave me flack about it and I requested the store manager be called... and then the store manager made them ring me up because the manager knew it was corporate policy.
My husband has asked the manager why they even have 20 checkout lines when he's never seen more than 2 cashiers working at any time of the day. Good question I say!
WHAT?! "Kids" can easily pay for their own...
car and car insurance and all other living expenses! I moved out when I was 17 and have been paying for ALL of my own bills ever since (I'm now 27). Yes, it was difficult and I had to buy clothes at Wal-Mart instead of Macy's, but it's very feasible. I also completed college, got married and had a baby all in that same time and have done just fine. You really just need to teach your kids responsibility and quit spoiling them and they will be able to make it on their own.
They get cold really easily (sm)
They are low to the ground as you know, and don't have much fur on their tummies so they get really cold easily. I have had one for 13 years and he has always lived inside, stays outside a lot during the day but comes in whenever he wants and sleeps inside. He gets shakey shivery freezing cold if he is outside in the cold for long. I do have two outside dogs who are quite happy out there but they are not dachsunds. I would at least make sure he has somewhere to sleep where he can be warm. They make really great pets.
that's okay im not easily offended
and im EASILY amused.
#7 is very funny
I could easily get hooked too. That is why I
do not watch those shopping channels anymore.
Know from experience that his PCP can easily prescribe something...just ask.
This is very common and can be very confusing for those going through it. Call your PCP and describe what you are seeing. They have seen it before and should know how to help. Don't suffer needlessly (neither of you). I wish you the best and KNOW there is light at the end of the tunnel...just ask!
I'm sure you could find it easily on google, BUT it sm
sounds like typical southern style dressing with dried cranberries in it. Sounds yummy!
I think parents give up too easily
these days on tattoos. It has been a fad for quite a while, but most people I've talked to regret doing it. People change with maturity, so it is not wise to put a permanent mark on the skin that will be an embarrassment less than 5 years later. It's a complete waste of money and an unnecessary health risk. Just Google worst celebrity tattoos and show him how silly they look down the road. If you help them see the future, most kids can understand consequences of their actions and will be glad you took the time to teach them some wisdom IMO.
Sounds like you could easily turn this into a meal
by tossing in some chicken breasts. My MIL bakes pork chops in cream of mushroom soup, bet you could use that too for something a little different.
What makes some people forgive so easily and others not so easy? sm
The reason I ask is that I am in a very unique situation. I have a family member (an in law) who basically hates me. She and I have sort of been at it on and off for 8 years. She's a very mean person, very judgmental, hates everybody. I mean, seriously. It's bad. She rubbed off on me for too long. We were friends! I used to point and make fun at others ONLY when around her. When I finally caught on that she was not a very good influence and that I was so easily pursuaded by her meanness towards other people (backstabbing, etc), I began to keep my distance. And she caught on. Now she hates me. For no reason, really, other than I don't call her anymore, don't hang out with her anymore. And here lately she has been doing evil things to me like returning cards I've sent to her family with a giant "return to sender" on the envelope, getting her sister against me (I mean, come on, how old are we??), etc. She will be at my mother in law's for the holidays with her kids and I am cringing inside. In fact, just today, I received a nasty email from her when I got home saying some pretty mean things, calling me crazy, insane, etc. which I know I'm not, but it hurts anyways to hear stuff like that. She has a very hard time forgiving people, I've seen it over and over in her life, and now it has come to the fact that I need her to forgive me in order for ME to have peace in my life. It's just the kind of person that I am. I am totally willing to look past all the mean things she's done and said the past year and try to move forward positively!
So, fast forward. I've written her an email basically BEGGING for her forgiveness and saying I'm sorry for whatever I've done to hurt you (I know I've hurt her by not wanting to be around her,etc), and told her it wasn't good for us to be on the outs like this. I am pretty sensitive (if you can't tell already), and I really, really, really wish she could get past all of this and just forgive. We all need a little forgiveness, don't we?? What do you think? Why is it that some are so easily forgiven and others will go to their grave filled with HATE? I don't understand it one bit.
I'm not saying I'm any better than she is. I know I'm not. I just don't have an evil vein in my body to not forgive people and I HATE when others talk about others behind their backs. It's mean. I grew up around that stuff and once I reached adulthood and realized that I didn't need to talk about others to make myself feel better, I hated being around it. Give me some advice. Should I send the letter?
Please help me. Would you send it? She obviously needs love. What would you do? Would you just tell her to forget it and move on or would you be like her and hate back? 
On the subject of fault. Dont read if easily
If my opinion upsets someone, I think it is their "fault" (for lack of a better word) if they get upset. Everyone owns their own feelings and should not let someone else's opinion have so much power over how they feel. As far as lemmings and masses, those are generalities, a comment on society as a whole, not aimed at any one person.
I am sorry if my opinions have so much influence over others. I will try to keep my thoughts in check.
On the internet I always do this...
I go to "Page" then "text size" then select "largest." It doesn't work on most pages, but it makes Google much larger, which definitely makes it much easier to read. That's all I can tell you though. I don't know how to make it zoom permanently.
Look on internet about --sm
Synthroid. There are all kinds of comments on there about how ineffective it is for SOME people why are hypothyroid. It also has a very short shelf life and what you get may be old and not help you much. I much prefer Armour thyroid, as it also has T3 hormone in it, where Synthroid does not. A lot of docs who do not know much about hypothyroidism say that you don't need T3, but my feelings are that if the body makes it, you need it for something, whether the doctors think so or not. The same goes for T1 and T2. Armour is not the answer to everything. I don't believe any supplement can fully make up for what your body can't produce any longer, but it helps more than Synthroid does. Only you can tell after you have been taking the medication for a while. Listen to your body and not what some doctors tell you or what other people tell you. Watch your symptoms and see how well the medication relieves those. Do some research on your own, as well. Some doctors do not think this is a very serious problem and kind of poo-poo what you tell them. They also just give you a pill and think you will be okay. That is not always the case.
Internet shopping
Does anyone else who works from home use the internet for most of their shopping or to surf the web during work? I had a MT service owner who complained to me that he had a hard time getting his "girls" to work since implementing the internet - that they spent their work time on QVC or HSN. I never thought about going to other sites (other than for references) while working, but apparently this is a big pull for some of us - I just can't imagine having time to shop while trying to work.
Go to Soapcity on the internet
and it will give you a daily update. Nick will probably not show up for at least another week or so. When they wrote in his death he hadn't resigned with the shot yet and they write most of the storylines about 4-6 week in advance.
Internet usage
From what I have read, their policy relates to donwloads, says it is equal to downloading 4 full-length videos per day before it is considered"excessive usage." I asked my employer about it and was told it would not affect us as all we do is exchange info with our servers. So unless you do a lot of actual dowloading, it should have no effect.
Talking over the Internet
My daughter's got a friend who is in Russia for the summer. I've heard there's a program you can download that lets you talk over the Internet using a web cam and a head set, and you can circumvent long-distance phone charges. Does anyone know anything about this? Thanks!
Talking over the internet
I would Google "Magic Jack" and "Skype". Those are 2 that I know of. Magic Jack is easy to install on your computer and costs either $39.95 or $19.95 PER YEAR. I believe skype is free. I have a couple friends that use Magic Jack and love it.
internet love scams
My dad passed away almost a year ago, and my mother was devastated. They would have celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in a few more months. Dad passed in April 2006 and their anniversary was in June. My mom went through many emotions, understandably so, shock, anger, depression, anger, depression, anger....You get the picture. Anyway, a few months ago she started playing around with online "dating" services where she met many people but how can you know anyone is who they say they are online? Anyway, she "met" several men friends, and they were all younger. My mother is almost 71 but she only goes for the younger men profiles. I don't know why she won't be realistic and seek out someone closer to her age. I've tried to tell her that she needs to be realistic and younger men (I'm talking men in their 40s and 50s) can only possibly want one thing from an older woman, and that would be money. My mother has no money but she doesn't let these guys know this. She has met many men, and during a "relationship" with each one she just knew "this was the one." Then something would happen to "break them up." I don't know what happens between them, and I don't see their conversations, but I do know that my mother takes everything for face value, i.e., when they tell her they love her, she believes them! Now this is only 2 days of talking via IM that the guy says he loves my mother. To make a long story short, her latest claimed to be only 47 years old. After 2 days he told her he loved her. He also told her he was German and needed American citizenship and asked her to marry him. She was SO excited. You can't believe how happy she was. At that point my sister and I started doing some investigating and found out this guy has several different profiles using different names, different age, different height/weight, but was crazy enough to use the same picture for each one, the one he sent my mother, that's how we "caught" him. He had her believing everything he said. He promised her everything in the world. But he would never give her his phone # or address. He was very evasive, always avoiding giving any information. My mother gave him her address though! My sister and I couldn't believe she did that! He sent her a pair of slippers, a size 10!!! He didn't ask her size, just sent her some blue slippers, size 10. She told him they were too big and he told her he would wear them, that she could just send them to him. This is just all so bizarre to my sister and I, but my mother STILLdoesn't see the harm in it. We finally told her the information we found and she was very upset, but still tending not to believe us. But before this guy happened, actually there was one before him who wrote mom for about 2 weeks, then said he was going to take a business trip to Afica and taking his 6-year-old son with him. After he was "gone" for about 3 days he IM'd my mother and told her he needed $600 to feed his child. My mother refused (thank goodness) and he got angry and asked her if she wanted his child to starve in Africa. He then told her if she would send him $2500 he could fly home to see her. They'd never met. He claimed to live in NC. This was before the one above who sent her the slippers. You would have thought she would have learned her lesson with the 'africa' guy, but she didn't. She STILL believes this guy's name was really what he said it was and she still believes he went to Africa on a business trip and that he has a 6-year-old son. So I think she still believes this other guy is who he said he was, but she was so upset that she said she wasn't going to go near her computer for several days. This was yesterday morning. By yesterday afternoon she was back on and chatting with ANOTHER younger man who told her he lives in Pennsylvania. He's in his 50s. What can I do to help her understand that there are REAL scammers out there? She gets very angry with me and my sister and tells us she's 70 years old, she thinks she can take care of herself. But she is also very naive about worldly matters which is obvious because she believes everything these people are telling her. I know i"ve jumped around and back and forth with this information, I'm just very frustrated and scared for my mother. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
remember you have RECONNECTED via internet.....
Unless, of course, you're looking to maximally change your life after 41 years...........and all will be affected..........
Remember, it's a rarity about going backwards in life...and you *think* you're in love via the web........wait til you see him and nothing is as you were told..........
and why is he STAG now after 41 years? hmmmm? *curious question that requires no answer to me at least*
best of luck but don't hold your breath..........I HAVE met people from online...........tis really better in REAL TIME, ya know?!
internet love scams
I have another question about my mother's situation. If she gets married again (I hope that isn't going to happen, at least not for a long time), she now gets my dad's benefits since he passed, but if she were to remarry doesn't that kick her benefits from SS back down to her previous amount that she was getting before my dad passed? Back to the marriage thing, I don't mind if she remarries at all, just as long as she meets someone and they have time to get to know each other, and hopefully not some online love scam that he's just out for her money. We just want her to be happy. Thanks again y'all.

happy ex-internet dater
I am lucky...I never thought I would use an internet site for dating but I was bored one day and tried it. I met someone by chance and never thought anything would come of it, he lived in the Northeast and I lived in the South so I thought it improbable....turns out we immediately it it off, had everything in common and it was like I couldnt have made a list of the things that I wanted that would fit more perfectly. I'm happy to say we have been living together a year and a half and we both couldnt be happier . There are a lot of crazy people out there so just be careful how you handle anything internet related. All stories arent as happy as mine!!
My internet address bar disappeared . . .
all I have is Google and mywebsearch. Anybody know how to get it back?
Thanks
When calling up my internet yesterday
playing over and over and over the picture of this mad man in different poses. I can understand why so many of the family and friends upset today with the media. Hubs made mention of every channel playing but I just keep watching fluff and not because I didn’t care, just because I know my heart and it would just break too much. The television channels were wrong in the fact they allowed this thing to have his 15 minutes.
My, my..what interesting info on the Internet.
Just on a whim, I googled my ex's name (which also happens to be our son's name). Lo and behold, something popped up which had me giggling like mad - my son's name and his long-time girlfriend & mother of his son - under marriage licenses. They had gotten married on his birthday about 6-7 weeks ago, and never told me!
The internet is such a wonderful resource...

Posting your pics over internet
ST. LOUIS – It's an international mystery: How did a Missouri family's Christmas card photo end up in the Czech Republic, splashed across a huge storefront advertisement? Danielle Smith said Wednesday that the photo taken of her family last year got sent to family and friends, and was posted on her blog and a few social networking sites. The photo showed her and her husband Jeff holding their two young children.
About 10 days ago, one of Smith's college friends was driving through Prague when he spotted their huge smiling faces in the window of a store specializing in Europeann food. He snapped a few pictures and sent them to a flabbergasted Smith.
"It's a life-size picture in a grocery store window in Prague — my Christmas card photo!" said Smith, 36, who lives in the St. Louis suburb of O'Fallon.
Mario Bertuccio, who owns the Grazie store in Prague, said the photo was from the Internet. Details were sparse, but he said he thought it was computer-generated. When told it was a real photo — of a real family — he said he started taking steps to remove it.
"We'll be happy to write an e-mail with our apology," said Bertuccio, who said he would send the Smiths a bottle of good wine if they lived in his eastern European country.
The Smiths and photographer Gina Kelly hadn't authorized anyone to use the pictures. Kelly said she has asked a professional photographers' organization to help figure out how her image wound up in Prague.
Smith has gotten 180,000 hits to her Web site since she recently posted the story about the well-traveled snapshot. She said the photo wasn't used in an unseemly manner, it was just used to tell potential shoppers about the store's delivery service.
Smith said next time she posts a photo on the Internet, she's going to lower the resolution or add an electronic watermark to make it hard to reproduce.
"This story doesn't frighten me, but the potential frightens me," Smith said.
Good freeware internet filter for
Anyone know of a good Freeware (can't afford Cybersitter, Net Nanny etc.) application for a PC that can block websites and even set a schedule as to when the user can get online? Perhaps even when
they can access their profile (lock them out).

yeah, i've been looking up stuff on the internet sm
and they recommend putting in a temporary color that is close to your natural color. i've been getting gray hair since my 20s (22 y/o first gray hair). i'm going to be 36 next month and i have more gray hair than my 55 y/o mom. i'm not ready to be gray, but i'm tired of keeping up with the color. my hair grows fast (or at least it seems like it). hubby likes the blonde look on me, but i'm just not crazy about it.
thanks for the advice!

Internet and cell phones - I remember before (sm)
I was a secretary in the late 80s for a medical association...I had to make up and send out hundreds of "meeting packets" to the doctors who were going to attend every month's meeting. Pages and pages of copies, colating and stapling them, addressing every FedEx label...it was an all day job, sometimes two days. Now you could just do a mass email and send it to all of them in 5 minutes. Amazes me every time I think about it. I also used to keep a monthly calendar of accredited events doctors could attend and had to mail that out to everyone...now, that can all just be put on a website to be viewed by anyone who needs it.
The cell phone thing though...other than being really glad I have it when I have car trouble or something, I'd rather not be tied to my phone like that. It is as though everyone expects you to be available all the time. I don't answer mine most of the time and call back if I need to.
You can watch full episodes on the internet.
