In Reply to: well as long as there is no universal healthcare - i would have to keep working
how bad universal healthcare really is. Believe me, nothing is free...if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

To Kathy - Canada
My husband and I have discussed Canada a few times. There are sick people in this world. Far too many. If they had the names of AIDS patients, I imagine they would be protesting at their funerals, as well. Why not protest where it counts instead of where it only hurts?
what makes you think we would be the same as Canada
right?
Does anyone here get their prescriptions from Canada? please sm
My husband has epilepsy and is on Lamictal. It costs us about $130.00 a month to get the prescription (would be @ $750.00/month without insurance). He went to his neurologist yesterday and he told my husband that we could always get it from Canada but we aren't sure how to do this. The neurologist wants to keep him on brand-name only. Any suggestions? Thanks! :)
scammer says he's in Canada
btw, my mom isn't a scammer by taking the money he offered to pay for her truck repairs. She is just a little old down to earth lady and truly thinks this guy is just kind and helping her out of a hard situation. But i am wondering if he is one of these ones who is spending money on her to make money for himself eventually. She has a small parcel of land but we don't know what his intentions are, and her land certainly is not worth very much at all. We have gotten no where with our other family members. They all think it is quite harmless....Well mom is going to get a broken heart if he continues to play with her heart strings and she eventually finds out he is a scammer. We hope she will find out but we think that needs to happen soon so she can just get on with her life. She desperately needs it! Right now she just lives and breathes for him and won't listen to anyone say any negative thing about him, and we can't talk to him to tell him how we feel because he will tell mom and that will alienate us, her children, away from her that much more. He will tell her what we are trying to do. If anyone has any ideas as to how to help, please please share them with me. Thanks so very much for any advice and help.
Hopefully going to Rocky Mts in Canada and wondering
if anyone has used a travel agency called Caravan? I have gone with vacations to go in the past but saw the listing for Caravan and it has interested me. Anyone with other places that have tours they have used? All ears here.
anyone ordered prescriptions from Canada?
I'm on Benicar, Restasis eye drops, and Celebrex and found out the group insurance offered by my new company has $5000 deductible and doesn't cover drugs. I bought BCBS on my own and there is an extreme limit on brand name drugs. I'm thinking about ordering from Canada but wondered if anyone else has done that. They advertise 180 Celebrex for $97 and BCBS will charge $180 for only 30.
No wait, wait... 'mere Mom, me and my friends
can all drink it too. Come on guyz... my Mom won't mind, have a drink and have some fun. Bring the chocolate syrup! Doesn't she have big nipples. "My Dad likes 'em too and my baseball coach! 
seal hunt started in Canada :(
If you want to help stop this torture please boycott Canadian seafood and go to the Humane Society website to send a letter to the Canadian PM. Thanks.
And Canada would send him back. Can't do that anymore!

That would be Paul and Carla Bernardo up in Canada...
And, yep, they stalked, tortured and killed (while videotaping) their victims. Carla's now a free woman who just had a baby, as scary as that thought may be.
Be careful, Emily Ayn!!!
Oh, please! End times! People have been saying that since the beginning times!
It's just sensationalism. It seems that journalism has gone to a warm place in a handbasket. I briefly majored in journalism back in 1980, and what passes for journalism now would have flunked any of us right our of an entry-level course! It's all sensational reporting, because networks think that brings in the viewers, and thus drives up the advertising price that they can charge during broadcasts.
Another of my pet peeves in "journalism" is the phrase "Unconfirmed sources say . . . " Yeah. Right. Unconfirmed sources is just another way of saying, "Rumor has it . . . "
Next time there is breaking news, listen for it. It's said over and over again, because the networks and stations want to get the news out first. I don't know what happened to fact-checking and pursuit of the truth in journalism, but it's all about getting info out fast, and keeping the public tuned in with the most sensational reports that they can put out there.
Back in the days of the Roman Empire, people were treating each other pretty badly and in unbelievable ways, too. Crucifixion comes to mind. So, I don't really think modern news reports are pointing to end times any more than at any other time in recorded history.
Good advice was given here. Suggest vet check-up for kitty needs vet check. sm
I've had 2 females over the years who developed stones/crystals in urine or UTIs. Both of them started spraying inappropriately. Never had a female spray inappropriately other than in these instances. They go into spasm and can't help themselves. If it is a urinary problem, eventually you may see slight pink-tinged spray if it gets that far untreated due to the irritation from constantly trying to pee. One more thought is if the kitty is not sick, maybe the other cat won't let her use the litter box for some reason. Maybe set up another box for her.
why can people immigrate to the US if they don't yet speak the language? Canada you have to speak
We briefly looked at emigrating to Canada. They have a point system for admission. You must know at least one and preferably two of their national languages to be admitted (English and French). You also must be young, healthy, and either independently wealthy, or educated and highly skilled in high-income professions. You cannot have a family member with a chronic illness, even if they are not coming with you, because you might send your income home to help them rather than spending it in the Canadian economy. Every child or dependent you have is measured against your wage earning power and if it looks like your family might tax the social system too much, you are turned down. This all makes perfect sense even though it may seem unfair (we looked at it before and decided not to go due to their arms laws. Now they wouldn't take us anyway because I have been diagnosed with MS since then).
This is very, very different from the US who it seems will take anyone and everyone.
I heard about a US chicken processing factory that was working with Welfare to put people to work because their supply of immigrant labor had run short. So, why don't we limit immigration until every American is working who can? And pay them a living wage with healthcare (illegal immigrants are too afraid to ask for these things and so the wage drops and benefits are not provided).
Don't wait.
The attacks will definitely become more frequent and more sensitive. Even limiting your diet to bland foods will eventually not be good enough.
The pain is from the stones trying to pass into the biliary duct. It can be devastating if that happens.
I had open gallbladder surgery. It was painful, but I had no complications. I'm glad I had it done.
Don't wait. Infection can set in; necrosis can start.
Wait!!!!
I have the thickest, curliest, kinkiest, frizziest hair going. I was ready to pull it out when I saw something on the Today show. They said sodium laureth sulfate causes hair to be frizzy. I went out and bought organic shampoo and you would not beleive the change. I use Frizz Ease spray leave on conditioner and only wash it about once a week. I am sooo much happier with it now. I personally am too scared to make a change because if you don't like it, there is nothing you can do. Good luck whatever you decide. You could try this first and see if it helps.
No, but can't wait to see it!
And he may be targeting the pharmaceutical companies next. That ought to be good, too:)
N/T - Can Wait
LOL. If you to talk about the show or the new season, please feel free to email me privately (as can the rest of the posters).
Thanks. Cannot wait to here from him. nm

Oh boy could hardly wait to add my
doggie's picture to the forum
Meet Pinkie, she lives in Hawaii right now.
Oh, BTW, that's my grandson Cameron with her!! Luv him a lot too!!!
Thank you very much!!!! Can't wait to try them out! NM
..
Please wait
Please see a counselor before any sort of meeting with the other people! I'm not sure that it is a good idea. I know you have a need to meet this woman, but I'm not sure that it will be good for you in the long run. Please reconsider! Best wishes.
Can't wait to see it!...nm

oh, wait....
Thank you, I am going to just wait and see
if there is an appropriate time and I realize that may never happen. This is something so personal, I just want so much to share in their joy without judgement. When it happens it happens. I am just sooooo glad there are people out there that don't judge. We need sooo much more of that in this world!
You can't wait until he is better....he will never
Your whole life is passing by and he has purposely isolated you from your family. He does not own you - you are not his possession. You have and have always had the right to come and go as you please and have your friends and family members come over any time but he has denied you that right. He is insecure and jealous of your sister. He wants you all to himself....he is treating you like a possession. He doesn't get to tell you "no" your sister can't come. It is not even his right to do that. I feel so sad for you that you have let all these years pass letting him tell you what to do. It will be hard and there will be arguments but you have got to stand up for yourself before your life just slips through your fingers like sand. You sister should have been welcome each time she wanted to come. It sounds like he is afraid you might care about someone other than him. Please let your sister come and see you...tell him if not, you are going to see her and you are staying for two weeks! or three! Your life is passing you by and he is keeping you from living it.
but wait!
who is the male lead? or should I say male leads; at least, I assume they are male!
Even if that wait......sm
meant a delayed diagnosis of a potentially treatable disease had you been given the CT scan, say, 6 months earlier?
You might just say "those are the breaks" but I would want diagnosis and treatment in a prompt and timely fashion rather than waiting around for 6 months for a diagnostic test, only to be told that I could have been cured 6 months earlier before the disease progressed to the point of no return.
Wait it out..
Not only that, but to cash it out you have a penalty...so say you cash out $5,000...after penalties and all that, you will get a bit over $3,000 I believe.
Just know if you cash it out, you will have to claim it as income on your taxes and pay a really high tax amount on it.....
I, too, have had to wait it out...sm
until they were old enough. Same here. Never helped with sick kids, never got out of bed to help when I had 3 babies at home...newborn, 1, and 2. NEVER NEVER GOT OUT OF BED TO HELP. No matter how tired I was, no matter if I was crying, he didn't give a crap. Yes...I, too, have been told he will fight me for full custody. In his words..."We'll see who is the one who will have to pay child support." So this for him is not about wanting the very best for his children, it is not wanting to have to pay me child support. I know he has severe mental illness...bipolar and paranoia. He follows me everywhere, he calls me wherever I go and then hangs up when the phone is answered even though my family has caller ID and knows it was him, he tells me he is going to go to my family and ask my sister's husband why they are allowing me to b**w them. I could go on but I think you get the message. My children are very unhappy.
thanks. He's only 9; I can't wait to see the look
One hour to go!!
thanks. He's only 9; I can't wait to see the look
He has a palatal expander, which is also uncomfortable. Thanks for the kind comment.
One hour to go!!
Can't wait, too!
I saw Liz tell Christian he should be putting his affairs in order. Is it a threat, a prediction . . ? Tuesday can't come fast enough!
You could wait until it's really dry, then
try to scrape off as much as you can. My daughter did this with red nail polish on the living room carpet. Scrape off as much as you can - it may take a while - and then you may have to use scissors to snip any leftovers. We eventually had a spot where the carpet was a tiny bit shorter in that spot, but it was definitely better than a fire engine red spot!
Wait until you see how he/she looks like and then name him/her...nm
nm
WAIT...
I just realized you ARE the OP, lol! When I saw the 'a different one', I thought you were another poster who had a similar experience.
Anyway, what I've experienced and how I acted out are probably the exact types of things you're going through.
Chaos is indeed an addiction but it's curable. You'll be fine ;-)
I think everyone should wait at least 3 months.

ooooo - cant wait to see!!!
You are right, but I think it's good to wait .... (sm)
a while before adopting a new pet after you lose one. I got my new kitty only 4 weeks after losing my former cat, and must guiltily admit that it took about 4 months before I stopped constantly comparing her to my former cat. Her way of showing affection is TOTALLY different than my former cat, and for the longest time I didn't think she would ever come to truly like me. As it turns out she DOES truly like me, she just has a totally different way of showing it! I got my former cat after losing the one before him to cancer, and much more time passed between having each of those two pets, and I think that made the transition period (which one always goes through with a new pet) a whole lot easier.
I am SO excited, can hardly wait
to see your part of the country. I live in the south and the weather here now at almost 9 p.m. is 70 degrees. We saw a bit of "spitting" snow this past week, the weather is crazy! I love the animals and the scenery must be gorgeous there, like a kid at Christmas with my upcoming trip!
Or maybe they could wait a few hours
before coming to the board where they very well know the east coasters want to be talking about it.
I wait until spring, too sm
I figure the dead leaves and stalks offer a little protection from the cold. The bed where I have the hydrangea stayed iced over for more than a week this past winter, and I thought I had lost the hydrangea. But in the spring I could feel that the branches were still supple and smooth at the bottom so we just cleared out the dead leaves, trimmed off the dead tips, and it came back beautifully. It has blossoms all over it that are getting ready to burst into bloom.
We just moved into this house last summer and I planted the hydrangea in a place where I thought it would have enough shade, but we had a bunch of 100+ degree days I was afraid the heat had killed it....until the cold came along and then I thought the same thing about the cold. But it is definitely "the little hydrangea that could"!!
can you wait a few days
and call your X? Do you know any reason why he might have called it off? If he has been ok with it before..maybe there is a reason? Does he have a new gf or soemthing? Maybe you could offer to go there? Who knows what goes through men's minds sometimes. Can you reassure him that your son wil be back home at the end of summer? If you do not want to go through litigation again, call him back in a few days. Is he just being a bulley trying to punish you?
Wait a minute...
This bride is 65, second wedding, and I assume wearing white? I wonder. Also I believe etiquette says a bridal shower is not proper for a second wedding and probably especially not for a couple in their 60s ! which poster mentioned. Also, etiquette says the bride and groom or family should pay to put the guests up at the hotel if they have to come from out of town which poster also mentioned.
This old gal is obviously not Miss Manners, herself.
: )
Cannot wait to hear what he has to say
at 11:30 EST. He better take responsiblity for this and not try to blame someone else for this. I heard in one report they are saying he had a difficult childhood and that this is why he has acted in this manner. GIMME A BREAK. Sorry do not buy it.
do not wait - do something now -- report her
Before another family or child is scarred by this counselor you need to write a letter to the principal and to the school board documenting everything that has happened. If you let it go, it will continue and harm other children. I am all for making children accountable for their actions and sometimes feel that parents do coddle too much sometimes but in this occurence -- do not and I really urge you to do something about it and report it. If you stand by and let this continue then you are partially responsible -- more of us need to become involved and do something about things like this. Let us know what happens. Just document in writing everything that has happened and does happen.
I agree. We will wait and see. But
in the meantime, Utah would be an interesting place for setting a new CSI.
Thank you. Will just wait until they are ready. nm
!
I'm on my way! Have to wait for break! NM
xx
And just wait until they start using your DNA sm
to profile everyone for genetic health risks. I see that day coming. Some states already are proposing creating a "DNA databank" for newborns....
