Keeping my fingers crossed that
Sanjaya's number will be up 
This crossed my mind too (sm)
It could be anything along these lines...maybe as simple as a strip club or maybe much worse. But yes, don't panic or let him know you are suspicious or you will have a much harder time catching him if anything is going on.
It crossed my mind, believe me.
But that was my last resort, especially with the chicken cooking on the stove. Thank goodness for heated seats in the truck, cause it was pretty darn cold in just my jammies!
That thought crossed my mind too
I am set up to see a chiropractor this week. I am willing to try anything! I have had Charlie Horses a couple times in my life but nothing like this before. I have been reading that they get worse as you go and I'm only half way! I'm willing to try just about anything. My leg is still sore from a Charlie Horse 2 days ago - that's how bad they are.
Yes it has all crossed my mind. Have you been in this situation before? (sm)
If so, did you get everyone out safely without them all being shot?
Has anyone ever crossed the mountain going from Staunton, VA . over 250 and into Snowshoe, W. Va.
That would be east to west. Just curious what those roads are like. Thinking of doing that on vacation.
Another animal crossed Rainbow Bridge today (pic).
This is a picture of Buck. He was a Belgian horse, late teens maybe early 20s, who was found by a friend of mine at a livestock auction with his teammate (another older Belgian) who were both skin and bones, sores on their skin, bad hooves...the whole enchilada of problems that neglect brings. She bought them both for a couple hundred bucks just so they could go to her place and die with a belly full of food. They both made a miraculous recovery, gained weight, and went onto great homes. I was blessed with being able to take Buck on a 3-week trial to see if he would be a good slow riding horse for me (I'm kinda crippled up and that was my therapy).
He was a sweet old fella but his heart was in pulling...either wagons or twitching wood out of the forest, so he moved onto a home that was better suited for him. We kept in touch with his new owners who loved him as much as I did.
Today I got a phone call and was told he just dropped dead, apparently of a heart attack. Sadly, the years of neglect took their toll and his heart just gave out. I'm thankful he was at least surrounded by people who loved him when he needed it the most. Please hug your critters--we never know when they may leave us.
They used to do that with extra fingers & toes on babies that

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.
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.
Someone suggested trying spraying Clorox on toes daily
xx
Can you describe the scrunch you do. Do you mean pull your toes and ball up your foot or what. nm
:
yes, and now they stay off cuz my fingers are swollen
lol...working me like a dog.
Eeeek! (crossing my fingers against PG!)
LOL
I guess you know because it is not your fingers you are losing, NM

I have osteorthritis in my hands & fingers. - sm
Also getting it in hip. For the most part, I would say the pain has come on gradually, increasing in each joint over a period of a couple years. Only exception was my right thumb. It has severe OA, which gave me no trouble 'til one evening when I was at my mom's, I was bored, and I texted a bunch of emails to my friend on my cellphone. The next day my thumb ached like crazy. With rest it felt better, but never did go back to baseline.
The quality if the pain is usually not sharp, more like dull ache that varies in intensity. Occasionally, though, moving the affected part in the wrong way (especially turning my hip & thigh inward) can cause a sharper jolt.
Without x-rays & a doctor exam, you probably won't know for sure what it was. As the other poster said, there could be some kind of an acute injury, or even a muscle spasm. But then again, it's always possible there is arthritis in the hand that was quiescent until now.
Now that I know it's not an acute injury, I find heat and gentle stretching to be of help. Also NSAIDs for when it flares up. Most importantly, I keep the part moving. The hip bothers me when I run & do other vigorous exercise, but I find I can warm up, work through the pain, and it ultimately feels better afterward. WARM-UP is the key.
Same with the ouchy thumbs, especially when typing. I keep my workspace warm (I don't use (or even have) AC in hot weather). In cold weather I keep the room war and use typing-gloves.
I would keep an eye on the hand, try to take a few days off from typing, or anything else that makes it worse. Try researching the symptoms online, and if there's no improvement within a reasonable amount of time, since you're an MT and need your hands to make a living, I would self-refer to an orthopedist or a hand specialist. Still, try giving it some time & rest. It could be you were working really hard up to that point, and upon making a sudden, possibly slightly awkward movement while reaching for the cup, the muscles in your hand cramped up. I find that kind of pain to be worse than a fracture!
Take care!
No kidding. I'm not typing my fingers
to the bone for a week or two straight just to buy a freakin' purse! Maybe if I was a CEO or something, but not on my MT pay. Or maybe if I was an MTSO, LOL...
Boys wrap their moms around their fingers too
Apparently you, for example......I know moms of boys and sometimes I think some of them are delusional about their *boys/men*.....I don't know - I surely just don't get it.....as much as I try to get it.....
And yes, I could type minus first joints of fingers. It

yeah, why don't you just snap your fingers and magically make another job appear?

Nana - you are so funny! If only pigs had fingers!! I'm gonna have to try the Got2B shampoo (nm)

Eyes. sm
Does anyone feel there is a film over their eyes and it is very aggravating? Do glare screens help? Anyone? Thanks.
my mom had them in her eyes
just manifesting as pain. but had she waited 1 day longer to seek help, she would have reportedly gone blind. so yes, it CAN be serious.
in most other cases, i think there are residual problems and discomforts.
I had a cat whose eyes did that - the vet said
All in the eyes of the beholder, if you
can make it past the smoke, cough, cough.
It's the eyes - too far apart - I'm perfect!!
I have tears in my eyes. sm
I posted below sparklers on the 4th but your post brought back wonderful memories of the same thing. So many of the places that my mom and I shopped at are now gone. My fav was Kresgies (sp) which had a lunch counter as well as what was probably mostly junk. I always had a grilled cheese. Now a park stands there and my mom would take my daughter and niece there for picnics. I lost my mother also....oh just one more day.
Those beautiful eyes say it all, don't they....

Crying my eyes out, here!
I finally watched the slide show the whole way through and am bawling like a baby.  Geez! What a kid and what a family. They are all in my prayers.
I was crying my eyes out!
Isn't Meryl Streep just the bomb! What an awesome actress!!! She transforms herself into her characters unlike anyone I've ever seen, I just love watching her act.
Look at those BLUE eyes!
Oh wow! I don't think I've ever met a dog with blue eyes before! They are beautiful!
my pets eyes always look like that
when I take their picture. Must be my camera. It has red eye reduction, but I guess it doesn't have evil eye reduction.
Bags under eyes
I am developing huge bags under my eyes and always, always look exhausted. Nothing wrong found at the doctor other than my never ending battle with depression. Photos taken at a wedding this weekend show my eyes to be especially dark at the outside corners-I always look like I've been crying.
Any tried and true remedies to help reduce the puffiness and darkness? I have sensitive, pale skin by the way.
Say they opened your eyes?
Just hope they don’t close them as well, permanently.
The collections under your eyes
could be caused by increased cholesterol. Have you had your cholesterol checked lately? If not I would suggest that as have heard about cholesterol showing up like that under your eyes.
collections under eyes
I was told that years ago but they were white like pimples but you couldn't pop them. These are a little darker than the flesh and not the same. I use to use a pin to clean out the cholestrol ones before I knew what they were. But just in case as soon as I can I am going to get it checked. I couldn't use the statins and they tired something else but it made me fart so bad all day I was an embrassment. So she won't test me. I am going to a new doctor as soon as I can afford it. I think my thyroid is still too low too she didn't do a T3 or T4 just a TSH. I still have symptoms also. Thanks for the reminder. 
My kitty has eyes just like his! :)
the cost to see thru the eyes of love....
God bless him is all i can say.
Eyes are important. Why not make
an appointment? If the cause is just allergies and rubbing, maybe they will give you an Rx for allergy drops if eye itchiness is your main problem. Or you could try using an oral antihistamine and avoid rubbing your eyes and see if they improve. Get some Refresh Liquigel lubricant eye drops by Allergan.
As I write this, tears are in my eyes
because my furkids also gift from hubby and I know, really know the love we give these little ones. She had been through so much. You gave her a good home and I am sure did everything to make her life comfortable. I have 2 boys from my gift and 1 is a purrer and the other 1 not but again know I along with others share your sorrow.
Hayseed, I have tears in my eyes because
I have read your post and this is the first time hearing this. I have had so many animals, loved animals, that have died and to think I would ever see them again is something that just warms my heart. Birds, dogs, cats and even a white mouse are ones I have lost. Thank you so much for this.
Mickey Blue Eyes
and Lil Miss Sunshine are two of my faves. 
I cried my eyes out watching that.....sm
My hubby watched it with me and he turned to me and said that will us when we get older.
I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. We were teenage sweethearts and to this day are very much in love and have a strong relationship and wonderful foundation for our two teenagers!
Can anyone tell me why bangs are worn down over the eyes and
people always seem to be a) shoving their hair out of them, b) flinging their head from 1 side to the other to get hair back from their face, c) keeping their hands in perpetual motion pushing their bangs/hair back from their face. Why in the world do female do this? If I had hair hanging in my face, over my eyes, I would have to have it cut. What is the reasoning behind this?
I started getting bags under my eyes in my 20's. SM
It kept getting worse. People would ask me what's wrong with my eyes. I finally had plastic surgery and it was the best thing I ever did.
It was the only thing that worked. This is only to be used as a last resort, but the results were amazing.
It brought tears to my eyes as well. You have
reason to be proud!!
Oh sweetie, I just have tears in my eyes for you - sm
What a horrible man and I can so relate to not wanting him to touch you.
BE SAFE. My biggest worry would be the guns and that's why I suggested you leave; I know it is important to try to keep your kids stable in school, but nutty control freaks do horrible, horrible things when they feel their power taken away.
Please keep us updated.
Cannot type with tears in my eyes
Am such a lover of fine music and thanks to both of you, this is what I am enjoying this morning. Why in the US are we only allowing a certain age to be on American Idol and not half the quality of these guys?
