tell the govt that, what with the wet-foot-dry-foot
I have it on several toes....
I wondered why the ends of my toes hurting and the nail place I go TRIED to blame on closed in shoes but I usually wear berkie sandles year round and open toes, cant remember the last time I had on just regular shoes without toes showing.
It always happens in same toes or
on the very outside border of my left foot. It is never the great toe, norr the 3rd toe down but 2nd toe right next to big and then toes 4 and 5 plus the border. I would not call them crampy but I know well not to walk on them because they would hurt if I do. This comes and goes, not there all the time but strange.
From the behavior you describe... sm
And the fact that you said he's old, it sounds to me like this guy is senile or has other mental problems going on. BUT, I think it would be a mistake to assume he isn't dangerous just because he's a little old guy who seems a little off. I also think you should notify the local police about him. He might be a danger to himself, if not others. If nothing else, he's a nuisance and should be reported.
I'm also someone who has all doors and windows locked at all times, and I don't open the door to strangers. Sometimes I do feel like I'm a little bit paranoid, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. I also have the car doors locked when I'm driving anywhere.
I'm amazed that anyone leaves doors and/or windows unlocked, but I know it happens. My mother-in-law and father-in-law, for example? OMG. They never lock their doors! They live in a small mobile home park for seniors, in a small-ish town, and my MIL feels like it's safe. What really kills me is, she doesn't lock their doors at night, and she takes out her hearing aids to sleep, so she wouldn't even hear anything if someone did come in their home at night! She says "Oh we have great neighbors. Everyone watches out for each other." What?! Crazy. And this is a woman who loves to read true crime novels and watches court TV and knows about the things that can happen. She worked as a legal secretary for decades and is very intelligent in all areas but this one. I just can't understand it. They don't live near us, but when we go to visit, I go around and lock all the doors at night. Otherwise, I'd never get to sleep!
As a side note, there is an excellent book called 'The Gift of Fear' by Gavin DeBecker. I highly, highly recommend it to all women. Get a copy today! I also like a show on the Discovery Channel called 'It Takes a Thief.' It's very enlightening about just how easy it is for criminals to break into most homes.
That's my 2 cents. Stay safe, ladies! :o)
would someone describe low BP, how it feels?
I'm wondering if that is what i am experiencing on occasion -- ??
Still seems horrible, especially when you describe
a paddle with holes?! What's the point of that other to completely scare a child? With a piece of wood? I don't understand. I'm so sorry you went through that. It seems totally unfair and, well, abusive. I hope you didn't suffer permanent damage, even damage you don't know about. Are you scared of authority figures, or of men? Or of someone coming at you with something in their hands?
I'm not being funny, I'm completely serious.
Yoga toes - sm
Has anyone tried this "gadget"? From what I have read, there are many positive comments but I am still skeptical and the price seems too high.
yoga toes
They are worth every penny if your feet ache at all or if you have bunions or if you just want to relax. I thought they were expensive too until I used them. They actually make your feet feel better. Not a gimmick.
Stepped on a lot of toes when I stated
about how these posts come across, i.e. women stating how to take time of the baby, soccer time, cooking, doing the clothes, etc. and still complaining about not being taken as professional. Well, duh. As you stated, the perception is doubled when working from home your life is a bunch of bon-bons. Just the other day was told by a friend I could wear my PJs if I wanted to while working. That is definitely not something I do but the perception is there regardless and then the MTs come on here oh woe is me, what will I do with Jr. while I'm working. They should have to do the work like your grandmother years ago and probably would be grateful to have the opportunity to be at home and really keep their attention on their MT work instead of moaning and groaning. If you have to do your housework while working, do it and don't moan about it. Comes with being a mother and working at the same time.
Well, it's quite unique and very hard to describe, - sm
but I'll try. It happens out in the middle of nowhere in the Nevada high desert, northeast of a town called Gerlach. For one week a year, what is normally a totally devoid-of-all life, ancient lake bed ('playa') is turned into a temporary city known as 'Black Rock City'.
It is basically a festival of art and free expression. A community is born where no money is used - all transactions (other than ice and coffee) are either trades or gifts. People build totally amazing art pieces, building, vehicles, etc. out on the desert floor. It's a photographer's dream come true, but one rule is that no photos taken can be sold for profit. Clothing is anything from amazingly elaborate to nonexistent, but the imporant thing is outlandishness. 'Playa fashion' tends to include lots of fuzzy fake-fur leggings, goggles (for dust-storms, among other things), tutus, stilts, face and/or body paint, frilly, brightly-colored square-dance petticoats worn as outerwear, etc. etc.
There are many themed 'camps' throughout the playa community. The more bizarre, the better. There are things like Giant Chess Camp, Neon Camp, you name it and there's a camp for it. My friends will construct the 'Black Rock Roller Disco', which has become such a favorite that it's located in the center of the city in 'Center Camp'. They bring rental skates and put down a wooden outdoor roller rink, and you can boogie to the disco beat for 24 hours a day.
As the 'city' is a couple miles across, bikes are a MUST for transportation around 'town'. Everyone brings their worst bikes, as the fine, slightly alkaline dust out there gets into everything, and is not good for expensive bikes. People tend to decorate the bikes as outlandishly as they do themselves. Many seem to have dolls, stuffed animals, horse or unicorn heads attached to the front. (I was at a yard sale last weekend and saw a rather unique 'Mermaid' doll that would've been PERFECT for use as a 'maidenhead' on the front of a bike!)
Motorized vehicles aren't allowed to drive through 'town', unless they are 'Art Cars' that have been registered through the Black Rock City DMV ('Department of Mutant Vehicles'). Decorated Art-Cars roll slowly across the desert - many are as big as ships (or even ARE ships), and have many people riding them. My favorite (seen in videos & photos of B.M.) was a humongous dragon-car that actually had 40-foot flames coming out of its mouth!
Fire is a BIG part of Burning Man. Many of the art projects involve fire. (One of many reasons why the festival is held out in the desert, and not in a forest!) One of my favorites at a Burning Man party in S.F. a couple years ago was an ORGAN that when the keyboard was played, the notes were produced by FIRE roaring up through a multitude of different-length pipes fed by propane. Other art sculptures move when the fire is turned on. So obviously the whole thing is quite a spectacle at night!
'Burning Man' gets its name from the end of the festival. At the beginning, huge wooden man-like sculpture is built. It's the symbol of the festival, and on the last night, it's set on fire and burned.
This festival originated on Baker Beach in San Francisco (haha...where else?), and after a few years grew too big for that small beach, so was moved to Nevada.
The best way to see the amazing photos and read more about what it's like is to go to their website (burningman.com). Look in the Photo Gallery to be amazed at some of the incredible photography. (Also a great place to go in order to get unique ideas for Halloween costumes!) The site is quite addicting!
If I were more of a camping-person, and if I felt I could spend a week there without going into total sensory overload, I'd be there in a heartbeat. But, maybe someday when I'm a little older and hopefully a lot more mellow......
They used to do that with extra fingers & toes on babies that

What you describe is beautiful! Every child should have the opportunity
to grow up in such an environment, and also grandmothers.
It's all about love and compromising.
A lady I know tried to pull this
kind of scam years ago. Her neighbor turned her in and she never even knew it. Still doesn't as far as we all know.
Her neighbor (friend of mine) called L&I (industrial accident supposedly) and reported that she was lifting, driving, going to the kids soccer games, driving them back and forth, doing yardwork, even waterskiing. She told the insurance that she did not want to be identified because they lived next door so they sent a private investigator to watch her for a few days. That's all it took.
Someone suggested trying spraying Clorox on toes daily

Did you ever wonder what terminology was used to describe an introitus that wasn't so marital???
I'll probably get banned for this..."whorital introitus" or "premarital introitus"?
Sorry I'm so hap slappy, I worked all night and am getting ready to go to bed. Good mornin!
Oh - but still wore pull-ups at night - until 5!! (nm)

my brother used to pull that crap. SM
My mother tried everything with my brother. Finally, one day, while the brat was in the middle of one of his fits, my father came in and was shocked at what he saw. My father went outside, got a bucket of water and threw it on my brother right there in the floor of the kitchen. Needless to say, my brother NEVER pulled that crap again.
After the 2 weeks I have had with my buyer I would recommend you file a dispute as a not as describe
My seller took 35 days to finally mail, sent me invalid UPS tracking number, package was 6 books short and books were in deplorable condition and I filed a 'not received' too early cuz then he mailed and now I cannot file 'not as described' as you can only file one complaint per purchase.... so I'm screwed unless he agrees to accept return.... but thinking he will probably take my money, the books and run - only 25 feedback so new seller... I'm talking with Paypal now and may file with my credit card company next week - not quite sure I understand chargeback programyet
..stubs, EVERYthing, so he can't pull the wool over your eyes

I knew of a pit pull rescue that does background...sm
Checks on potential adopters, an will only adopt to women - no men. My hat is off to pit bull rescuers. Must be very tough...
…I thought it was that stuff you pull out of your bellybutton.

I'm short so I always have to pull my straps double all the way
I get mine at Walmart and Target. but I was thinking maybe if I get a few good bras they would stay. So I went to VS and holy moly...$50 bucks for a bra? I'll stick with my slippin straps!
Ditto - but add arrogant and evil to the list of adjectives to describe this loser

I've heard in Calif they pull from both DMV and voting records
probably to widen the pool - so no help from me - sorry!
That's my 6-foot, 3-inch hubby and 6-foot, 5-inch son...
Those quotation marks and apostrophes don't show up on this board, do they!
Also, forgot to mention that the Prius is a whopping 90% less emissions than a regular combustion engine. That's a plus. The electric engine supplements the gas and so the car never loses ground going up hills, great pick up. And don't worry about the rumor that says the batteries eventually die and need pricey replacement. That's not true. There are several individual cells that are not at all expensive to replace and should last many, many miles. There are lots of older Prius on the road now that are going strong after 200,000 miles on the road with not even one cell replacement, much less the entire battery system. They are THE standard for hybrid design right now.
You can find out more about them at the dealer or by googling. The tech-geeks really like the car and put out lots of detailed information on the internet about the Prius.
My 2-year-old twins are potty trained. (1 wears pull-ups at night).

Keep the ball rolling...
Keep the Ball rolling-how about
favorite all time TV show. So many to choose from-Friends, Hell's Kitchen (love Chef Ramsey), 90210, CSI, Cold Case, again, just to name a few!
I sit on exercise ball .... sm
and I balance just fine with foot pedal. I dont' sit here for eight hours on my ball. Sometimes I switch out my chair and my ball. Just depends on how my bottom is feeling. I too sometimes sit with my leg folded under my other leg while working, but that's not good for your veins. I have really bad vericose veins (that's another story!)
good luck!
okay, now I get it........slow on the ball I guess

Wow! You're sure a ball of fire! nm

Okay. Guess you should look into that crystal ball you have
since you are all-seeing and all-knowing.
When you get sick, and you have to sell your house. I will listen to you.
When you have used up all the money in the bank, then I will listen to you.
By the way, do you know that Social Security was intended to be short term? Did you know that it is in danger of going bye-bye? And, oh yeah, it wasn't intended for the purposes it is being used for. How many years did you plan for exactly? My aunt had more than you mentioned and was considered ritch. Too bad she got sick the year before she died and lost it all, huh?
One episode in the hospital could wipe out everything you have saved all your life.
YOU ARE NOT IMMUNE. The more you spout, the worse things turn out. Better get that crystal ball out so you can be ready!
Tennis Ball in the rectum
Then doctors couldn't get a good enough hold on it to get it back out. Had to take him to go to the OR and have it surgically removed. Also light bulb man, except light bulb broke into hundreds of small pieces. OUCH!
Cotton Ball Game for kids - sm
When my daughter was little, we did this game where you put Vaseline on the child's nose and then they stick their nose into a bowl of cotton balls. Whoever has the most cotton balls stick to their nose wins. I am not sure if this is age appropriate, but I know she and her classmates loved it.
I've had a ball previously and just had too much trouble

With my luck, my "weight challenged" cat would eat the ball!
LOL!

I'm eyeing up that carpet and that tennis ball sm
That looks like an ooooolllld carpet but in extremely good shape. Grew up with one like that many moons ago. Your dog must be kin to my 2 dogs who both sleep on their backs with all 4 paws in the air. They look so cute. Now that tennis ball looks like mine. I think your baby took it from mine as I can't find any of them..... Just joking.
Second vote for Ball Blue Book
My mom used it and now I use it. I buy a new one every time time they come out with a new edition. Haven't killed anyone yet and those beans taste awfully good this time of year!
Yep, he plays basketball, paint ball, and wrestles.

I've also heard about paint ball guns...
they shoot people walking or riding on the sidewalk/road. And those things HURT...what's up with the youth of today? Are they really that bored, I mean, they have sooo much more than we (most of us) did when we were growing up. Maybe that's the problem, they're spoiled...anyway, I do hope they get caught. Thank goodness for my good kids!
Bridges...makes me ball my eyes out every time!
I really don't like "girly" movies either but for some reason I have to watch this one if I stumble on it while I'm "flicking" around. I always always always wind up crying like a big baby. It's such a beautifully done film. Just a classic.
And don't throw her a ball, because if she misses and it hits her guns, they may blow!
LOL
I took home ec too, but did not learn about canning. The Ball Blue Book gets my vote too...
Mine gets replaced every year also because the pages are all stuck together, stained, and otherwise show signs of major use. LOL. It is my bible for anything that can be canned or frozen or otherwise preserved.
Not the pedal foot!!! arg
I dropped a HUGE heavy glass cooking dish on my pedal foot, actually knocked it off the stove onto my foot. Fortunately it didn't break but holy freaking crap does my foot hurt. I'm sure my foot isn't broken but the whole area that got hit is now a nice shade of black. I am not ambidextrous with my feet! lol. Kay...done with my pity party.
Did it help your foot swelling too? (sm)
Because I have that too. And I get so sleepy I can barely stay awake!
With foot & mouth going around, I'd
call the answering service number and ask the MD on call if it can wait.
If they were just clear blisters I'd guess it was a contact dermatitis, but the blood would make me act on this.
LOL!! Should be dog food (not foot!!!) nm

claw foot
Same thing happened to me - my sister wanted it desperately, but they got rid of it before we could ask for it. Absolutely the most comfortable tub I have ever had. The rolled edge is perfect for you head/neck, deep enough for lots of bubbles. Those were the days!
