Maybe Cranberry juice could help you?..nm

cranberry juice or pills?
I don't know if it works on cats, but boy does it work on humans. I would think the pills (if you could get it down the throat) would work better as it would probably take a ton of the juice.
I just said yuck to the cranberry dressing
Don't understand why you read more into yuck! Unbelievable!
Cranberry sauce and cornbread - NM
NM.
Dad loves the cranberry sauce shaped like a can. My MIL
heats the sweet potato "cakes". The kind that come in the shape of a circle. What are they called?
Dr. said little box of raisins or orange juice just the

Margarita for me or grapefruit juice with gin
I sure need one today.
I have heard of cloves and apple juice. nm

Champagne or sparkling grape juice

berry or fruit juice for diets sm
Heard the "free trial offer" for the acai berry (sp) on line is a farce because once you give all the info and agree to the low shipping charge, you are locked into an automatic charge to your credit card of 80 plus dollars. If you try to contact them, the phone number provided is non-operational and you are stuck. Is this berry product available in retail stores? Also, anyone find any pomegrant (sp) juice helpful and who has the best price on it? Need to lose some "winter weight" and it's not even winter yet. Kind of hard when you sit all day - I know, I know - diet and exercise! Told by my cardiologist to walk but recuperating from surgery, so not that active. TIA 
that sounds great, with apple juice,
but would you give me some idea of temp to cook at, and how long it might take to get soft? Do you wait til its done to add cinnamon and brown sugar? God bless, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Does anyone make Juice Pouch purses
I have already made one with 10 pouches, which was a bit too small and not practical for me so it ended up being a container for my daughter's hair bows. They are fun to make and neat looking so I have had my girls and the girls of dd's Girl Scouts save theirs after the meetings for me so I have lots of them now. LOL. I made 2 wallets with gift cards in them for B-day presents for my DD friend's with no problems and they were a hit. Those didn't take but 5 minutes to make. My youngest dd got invited to a B-day party this weekend and I got the bright idea to make a juice pouch gift bag. I thought I would save some money buying a gift bag and usually they don't take long to make, 30 minutes.
The problem I am having now is that the sewing needles keeps coming unthreaded and they keep breaking. I have already broken 3. I did not have that problem with the others I made but this is the first big one. I never read of that problem happening in any of the tutorials I have looked at on how to make them. I am a beginner sewer so I am thinking it could be the machine. I have adjusted the tension all kind of ways and nothing seems to work. The machine I have is a 401A Singer that my aunt gave me. It is from the 1950s. The reviews I have read on this machine have been glowing. It is said to be one of the best machines Singer ever made. However last night I was ready to chunk it and get a new one. (I don't have the money really). Does anyone know what the problem could be with the needle breaking and coming unthreaded. TIA.
I'm cooking a round roast in onions and V8 juice.sm
It smells so good I want to eat it now! Yum.
Vitamin B6
I was told helps with PMS symptoms, but I don't know about St. John's wort. Look at the ingredients, is it a combo?
My GYN said to take vitamin B6.
But, I suffered so bad with this along with heavy cycles (14 days on) that I finally had a hysterectomy (left with cervix and ovaries). The back pain was horrendous as well during these times. Finally, after 8 years (I'll be 38 in a few months), I have found relief from the horrible PMS. I'd go from crying to screaming to loving to hating to pitiful to in bed to not wanting to go to bed... Are you getting the picture? These emotions lasted 2 weeks and then was "on" for 2 weeks and I never had relief, never until I had the hysterectomy. I felt like a million bucks 2 hours postop - no lie! I was home within 24 hours (pleaded with GYN to just let me go home) and I have a new woman since. I doubt they'll do a hysto though just for PMS, but like I said I've been there and the only thing she recommended was vitamin B6 and Yoga. Definitely see a doctor though....
My son loves fruit juice with vanilla yogurt mixed in, over ice.

vitamin B complex (nm)
nm
I take Biotin which is a B vitamin.

Vitamin K does exactly the contrary, it
COUNTERACTS the blood thinning.
So, people whose blood has become too thin by possible overdosing on blood thinners, SHOULD eat foods containing a lot of vitamin K.
They should especially eat yoghurt which contains a lot of vitamin K.
Aspirin is a strong blood thinner due to containing salicylates.
There are also a lot of foods that contain salicylates and people who take prescription blood thinners, like Coumadin, Heparin, Plavix etc... should avoid those.
You can Google foods that act as blood thinners, opposite foods that contain a lot of vitamin K.
They have the opposite effect.
I think green vegatables also contain vitamin K and will help stop excessive bleeding.
NO BASHING, please!
Vitamin D question
I don't get outside much these days and wonder if anyone knows if you can get vitamin D from sun coming through the window?
My mom has osteoporosis, so I figure I better do what I can!
Thanks. 
You can take a Vitamin D supplement. nm

Vitamin D is very important
A lack of vitamin D is the cause of ricketts. It doesn't happen that often in the US any more because of all of the fortified foods we get, but if you don't go outside much at all, it can be a real concern. There was a story about a hugely obese man - like 900 pounds obese - who had horrible pain and it turned out to be a lack of vitamin D. THe only way your body can metabolize vitamin D is by exposure to sunlight.
Doctors always want to make sure that women who are older or at risk for osteoporosis take Calcium and Vitamin D. The Vitamin D helps the body metabolize the calcium.
You should probably take a calcium supplement as well, if you aren't already.
Hope your rib pain goes away!
Vitamin D deficiency?
Anyone ever been diagnosed with this?
My rheumatologist's office called this morning to tell me that my blood tests showed a deficiency. My doctor is going to call this afternoon to discuss it with me. Apparently, it's not so uncommon in regions that lack sunshine?
A product called 'Fruit Fresh' or simply lemon juice
Drizzled over the fruit that browns will keep it from browning...or at least I think anyway. Never take cooking advice someone who messes up hard boiled eggs.
Which vitamin for hair and nails?
Is it vitamin D? My hair will only get to a certain length and seems like it stops growing. Any ideas on something to help it grow more?
Vitamin Water XXX flavor and
I go through about a pitcher a day of green tea that I make with raw sugar and honey. And, of course, Welch's -- it is so good for you.
LOL! Yogurt is good as it contains a lot of vitamin K
it helps with blood clotting.
If people have not enough blood platelets, then they suffer from
Thrombocytopenia.
No bashing, please.
I am only a humble MT who learned a lot through atudying and MTing.
Thanks!
Try Palmer's Cocoa Butter with vitamin E.
I had a similar problem and this worked for me. My husband even uses it and likes it. I like the unscented type. Good Luck!
I read that a lack of vitamin D and boron can
cause psoriasis. The article said that a lot of vegetarians don't get psoriasis because they have a diet high in boron which helps with the conversion of vitamin D. It is because vegetarians eat food high in boron and vitamin D, i.e., veggies, fruit, etc, and the soild the veggies are grown in is high in these nutrients.
There was a post on here about helping psoriasis so I thought I would throw that in! Hope it helps.
Sorry, I meant ..'There are creams which contain vitamin K.'..sm
And, BTW, vitamin C and calcium are very good for preventing wrinkles.
Is this the Vitamin Water that Coca Cola bought?
I had one for the first time today, fruit punch. Good stuff :)
The intake of vitamin K helps against spider veins. ..... sm
But be careful, do not take too much, only from food sources, yoghurt is a very good source of vitamin K.
There are creams which contain vitamin C.
If you want to take supplemental vitamin K in tablet form, first check with your doctor regarding the dosage.
I had some spider veins in my face, but those disappeared when I started to put vaseline in my face.
I had heard Vitamin D was a good source for bones,
of course and being as I along with others on here do not get out as much as we should sometimes, had heard maybe I should take. I have pain in my ribs (checked for other things and scans, x-rays turned out ok) so started this morning with 4000 units. Anyone else take and if so what dosage? My ribs were hurting before I got out of bed and since seem to be feeling some better.
A lot of gastric bypass patients have vitamin D deficiency
also iron, calcium, and B12. But I have known other people who also had a D deficiency.
I have heard L-Lynsine (vitamin) is good to take. Supposedly it decreases sm
the time of outbreak, but also minimizes you from future outbreaks if you add it to your daily vitamin regimen.
Might try valerian root capsules or 5HTP or melatonin, in vitamin section

Yes - does not work! Hoax if you ask me. MetaboLife doesn't work either.
The only thing that works for me is exercise and eating correctly! No quick fix, unfortunately.
This is nice done with orange juice & orange peel in it and/

I TRIED to work, WANTED to work, but
So now I have to scramble for the rest of the week, trying to catch up on what I didn't do today. And of course, working today was in hopes of catching up on whatI didn't do last week. This job is a never-ending hamster-wheel of lunacy.
Everyone has to work once in a while!
Normally in this industry, you are paid an incentive to work "holidays". When I was in-house, I was offered a day off other than the holiday I worked, which was great. I was also offered to only work a 4 hour day, in-house. At home, you should also be given an incentive for those holidays! Some people think that Martin Luther King Day is more important than Christmas because they may celebrate Kwanzaa. Some people feel that April Fool's Day is important, so they are willing to work Easter. It goes on and on... There will be times in your life when you have to make a choice, "one day off" or a career in the "medical field". I would have to agree that we are important especially on those holidays. For example, most hospitals and emergent care units are staffed with one doctor, so it should really be only STATs you are typing. It is hard to "choose" when you want to be "sick". Hence, our salary!!!!!!! Most people will work all kinds of crazy schedules to accomodate their own lives, so why be so uptight about working Christmas because your employer requires coverage. On the other hand, this should be rotated amongst a pool of typists. I worked with a lady that would always volunteer for Thanksgiving (she had no family), so she could have Christmas off just to make us all mad! She'd say "well, I've worked the last 10 Thanksgivings, so I deserve Christmas off! It was so sad! Hmmmpphh! :) Good luck! Have a nice holiday (no matter how you spend it)! 
He did see my dog and work him up sm
and everything came back negative. I'm going to push him more on Tuesday when I call him. I like our vet a lot-have been using him for years with all of my dogs and so far he hasn't steered me wrong. I'm just not sure I want to wait much longer on getting him some medication. The poor little guy suffers so and it just scares the heck out of us. I mean, there isn't anything we can do but hold him and ride it out and just be there when he comes out of it. I just haven't had to deal with anything like this before.
Nah, I do it, too, the more I work, the more I do it.
on vacation, notsomuch!
Does this work?
testing
Both will work actually.
For people who want to learn about something, anything, Google is a great tool. If you want to get into semantics about it though, personally I have real-life, first-hand experience with these critters called OTTBs. That stands for off-track thoroughbreds. They live until their late 20's and sometimes into their 30's and that is rarely taken into consideration by the racing industry, who I feel should kick in a little cash at birth, for every single horse they register with Jockey Club, to ensure that these animals can be cared for, for the rest of their lives. Oh wait...that would put a crimp in the breeders bottom line though, wouldn't it.
I used to work
with someone who would say the quirkiest things. got on my nerves.
And I used to work with someone who had
a stick up their rectum and made everyone's lives mundane.
No, not every day and get this- I only work
part-time. She is always available when I want her to come over, can stay the night if I am working later, whenever I want her. You are probably going to start throwing rocks but my pay to her is anywhere from 50-75 dollars a day, depending on what she does, any extra things I have her do like cleaning the closets, putting up seasonal clothes, other than the regular clothes washing and the house cleaning (she does not iron on a regular basis but if I need something special, she would do that)- she used to cook for us but my hubby does that now. I DO NOT want to quit even my part time position- heck my husband might think I had the time to do housework too and ugh!!
Never during work...
I don't get that. They could buy a lot more if they only shopped on the off hours ;)
That might work if
He would actually go. I can only do so much to make him go. He is the most stubborn man in the world!!
