I have three dogs and a cat that I was using a topical flea med on. We got a new puppy last week and she had fleas. I washed her and got rid of them, but now have noticed a couple of fleas on the other dogs. Not a lot, but some. I have heard that the Program works better than the topical stuff and would like to try it, but it is rather expensive so I am looking for any input before I buy it. Thanks!!

one should never take meds prescribedfto pets
and vice versa! It is even more dangerous for pets! One shouldn't even take meds prescribed to somebody else! This is plain crazy.
Was the flea comment really necessary?
no flea control
vet says we dont have fleas in our area.
is this the Flea Free your friend uses, SM
I have been desperately looking for an alternative to the topical treatments, as I do not want to put chemicals into by animal companion systems. Would like to know more about your friend's experience with this product and is it the same product, Thanks.

Need recommendations for dog flea control.
Anyone use anything that actually works? I have a golden retriever and I have tried Advantage (which worked in the past when I had cats), but it hasn't helped. I also tried Zodiac Spot-On (cheaper brand) and that didn't work. I have tried flea baths and flea collars as well. Help!
Okay..back with another flea question. sm
Anyone use Frontline Plus on their pets? Found out the Program flea pill really isnt worth buying because it does not kill the cycle of the flea, only adults. I have been reading about the Frontline and it sounds pretty good. I have been using a "generic" store brand topical, but I dont think it is strong enough. I need something for dogs, puppies, and cats. Any ideas before this gets out of control. I have been checking the dogs daily and not finding anything. I found one flea a couple of days ago, but nothing since. About ten years ago we had a terrible flea problem so I know what to look for but I just need a new flea medicine. What do you use?? Thanks!! 
Might be able to do craft shows, flea markets, etc. Get any

I use Sentinel - flea control and heartworm prevention all in one (sm)
Less for me to remember.
Sentinel. Heartworm and flea protection in one pill. nm

I have also heard that washing with dog/cat flea shampoo kills them although I have never tried it.

I saw some program the other day on TV where the
The TV program (can't remember the name) said the kids today in America have it pretty rough and so for one day a year, Halloween, let them have some fun....
Y'all don't need to be reading PAGANISM into this holiday for toddlers/little kids as I believe 90% of the trick-or-treaters do not come from Pagan families......
Give the little ones a break, please!
we are probably on different program...
I have very little problems with the program I use but we are not supposed to talk anything about MT work on the Gab board, per the rules, as I understand them.....
on what program?
nm
what email program are you using? nm
zzzz
Where do I enroll in that program?
 Do they provide the class materials????? 
Program for fleas
I have not heard of Program, but I use Frontline. I have not had NY problems with it. My vet charges $15 for it, but I can also get it at our local Humane Society for $10. With 4 cats, it adds up to quite a bit of money. You might want to try that.
Do you use an antivirus program? If so, what? sm
My McAfee ran out and I just wondered what you use. I heard there are "free" antivirus programs you can download from the internet. Anyone heard of that or tried it?
thanks
WW is a great program IMO (sm)
I lost 70 pounds on WW and have kept it off (up/down 10 depending on life). I believe this is one of the best programs because it gives you a very simple, almost subliminal, education about nutrition and allows you to eat just about anything in moderation.
Once one is emotionally and mentally ready to accept that lifestyle and dietary changes are necessary to lose weight (the biggest hurdle IMO), WW is really the smartest plan to follow. No fads, no prohibited food groups, etc.
I don't follow the plan currently, but what I learned and practiced for the 9 months it took me to lose 70 pounds (4 years ago), I'm pretty much programmed regarding portion control and how to undo the overdo... yeah... I'm in the process of undoing right now :-)
Good luck to you!!
Nursing program
I am 49 years old, have been an MT for 7 years and am thinking of going back to school for an RN degree. Wonder what my chances of getting into the program are (I know there's always a waiting list, but of course that depends on the school one chooses too; I live in GA), and how long this all might take.....??? I made As and Bs in high school and aced the transcription program at a local 2-year technical college...................any thoughts? Should I forget about it? I don't want to be unreasonable, but having thoughts about doing something to make more money. I have one child who is a senior in college and have 2 boys to put through college eventually, so more money sure would be nice.
good program
I used the program to sell my old house about 6 years ago. Now after 6 years in this house, definitely time to start up again because I am not thinned out from moving!
Just started again 2 months ago. I love how you start at the ceiling and work your way down to the floor, 15 minutes at a time. I love how my bathrooms are always "company clean" and my sink is shining. She is on youtube now and I used the holiday missions and it worked great for getting the christmas decorations put away! Can't say enough good things about it. I think they used to teach this stuff back in the old days for people who did not work outside of the home, but working inside of the home and not being able to keep the house clean was too frustrating! Baby steps work much better, like you said, so the dust quits calling my name!
In our area, there is a program called
"Mended Hearts". I am not sure if this is nationwide, but there are volunteers that will come out who have had the surgery, and they talk about how far they've come. Another option, I guess would be cardiac rehab, and I am wondering if that would lend some support as maybe he feels a little alone in his quest? Best of luck and hope he finds his way soon.
Weight Watchers is the best program
You can eat what you would cook every day, but it is the portion control. I used this program after having both of my children as I gained close to 100 pounds with each pregnancy (too much bread and butter). I have now stabilized, but still watch my portions. I do believe the water and exercise are a very, very important part of Weight Watchers. I did not feel deprived from sweets because as the other poster stated, the point system took care of that. If you know you will indulge, you simply cut back on one of your meals. I had a husband and two children to care for, but I still lost weight eating the same food that I served them, I just controlled my own portions. Hope this helps. Weight Watchers gets my vote. 
I'm trying to lose weight through the WW program
I started during the summer and kind of fell off of it. I'm trying to lose between 30-40 pounds. My daughter became a vegetarian about 4 months ago and she already lost 23 pounds. I like my meat so I won't go that route, but I'm trying to exercise a little bit every day and eat healthier. Good luck to you and everyone else trying to lose.
Fantastic! What a wonderful program that is. -nm
As part of an incentive program- sm
I get 12 cpl, but only after 1500 lines in one day, 11 cpl after 1000 lines. Believe me, it's incentive. It really starts to add up, but the best I've ever done is about 1980 lines in one day, once, a couple years ago. This week my goal is 1800, but it's turning out more like 1600.
I used the Medifast program. It worked wonderfully (sm)
I think the HMR is all liquid which is the difference with Medifast. With Medifast, you eat 5 of their meals (oatmeal, shakes, pudding, soup, or bars) and 1 meal you prepare of a protein and a vegetable. It was very easy to follow, I never felt hungry, and I lost over 60 pounds in 7 months. What I loved about this diet was I learned a whole lot about portion control.
if you work with Horizon program, please see message
I just started working with Horizon Radiology Manager program and having problems viewing my line count. I was told by another MT that Java interfers with this program. Does anyone else have problems with Horizon and Java? I also have another job where I help out some and their program is Meditech and I think I need my java for that.
Thanks for any info.
Mine has a bachelors and applied for MS program (sm)
he is three years older so was about the same age as me when he was going to do this. Thinks its alright for him. Our marriage is already very rocky. I feel like rather than deciding whether to divorce or not right now I should further my education instead.
I have Avast antivirus program, and it's free also. - NM

Have you ever heard of the Weigh Down Diet program? sm
It's not really a diet. It is a matter of changing the way you eat, not what you eat. Feel free to e-mail me and I'll give you some specifics.

Anyone know how to get started having a computer program made
I have an idea I have been thinking about for a while, a software program actually. I think it is a good idea but I have no idea where to begin to try to have it made and marketed. If anyone knows I would really appreciate any advice you have.
Thanks!
I did read some stations not carrying the program
so perhaps offensive in some things? I did not watch. I think Sharon probably looks the best of all the family.
HIV meds
My best friend has had HIV since 1993 and is very healthy otherwise. He was taking many medications but about 3 years ago the doctors did his blood counts and said the disease was virtually undetectable. They advised him to quit taking the meds and see how it goes. They told him the meds lose efficacy after awhile and so did not want him using them until he actually needed them. After 3 years off meds, his counts are still doing great. I wouldn't worry as long as she is still having regular check ups with the doctor and otherwise maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
BP meds (sm)
When my husband started a medication for BP he started having strong muscle twitching he'd never had before. I think it was something odd, like his pec or abdominal muscles, but I can't remember. The MD had just started him on 3 new meds, one of them being a BP med. That's the one I suspected, and sure enough, muscle twitching was a possible side effect, especially if the patient exerted himself and perspired a lot. I think it could cause potassium depletion and that was the reason for the twitching.
Son's HS grad program listed the "Class Moto."
Ugh!
In my school district they have a "schools of choice" program.
The kicker?? Your school has to participate. Our new Supe took it upon himself to unilaterally disembowel the "schools of choice" program. Our school district is not as bad as Detroit, but I think it is getting there.
He stated "the only way anybody is going to get out of my school district is to move." And of course with the housing market the way it is, who can afford to move?
We cannot afford to send our son to a private school either. And even if we did participate with Schools of Choice, you are responsible for your own ransportation.
So, the only other choice is a charter school, but then you have the same problem - you must provide your own transportation.
PS I live on the west side of Michigan.
I don't think the depression meds --sm
should be taken in conjunction with pot. Anger and anxiety issues were already present prior to father's death. He may be grieving on some level, as his own psyche will allow, but sounds more like an excuse to me. I have lived with these types in the past. His lack of ambition is probably due to the pot, as well. Thinking of the child, I feel that separation from the source of this frustration would be the best thing for the boy. Counseling rarely works for the spouse, but it would probably benefit you. Go with your gut reaction on this as to what is best. You live with the man, and you know more about him than what you can post here. Trust your instincts. Good luck to you.
Fibro meds
I was diagnosed in January of this year by a rheumatologist after having problems starting last August that began with a rash and my GP did a battery of tests - the rheumatologist started me on 1500 mg of Relafen (which has greatly diminished the tender areas like my hip areas), I also take 150 mg of Zoloft, 600 mg of neurontin, 50 mg of Tramadol every 4 hours as needed (which do me has not really helped the pain 100%, but it does lessen it a good bit) and I take a muscle relaxer at bedtime and sometimes during the time. These meds do not zap me and I feel more functional with them than before. I also take Halcion if I am unable to fall asleep, however, these days it seems that I am so exhausted that I have no problem sleeping as long as I am not hurting and the muscle relaxer at bedtime seems to help with that. Of course now that my inflammatory markers are at a near normal range I am walking 30 minutes a day and have begun stretching exercises 15 minutes in the morning, 15 minutes at night to help with the muscles. The rheumatologist has said that all of these will change as the fibro progresses and I age (I'm only 33) but he said if we stay on top of it it should be very tolerable for me from now on - I am thankful to my GP for the referral to this doctor because I have read of so many stories where the GP ignored the patient's complaints only putting them on powerful pain meds and not really getting to the source of the problem or telling them that there is nothing wrong or nothing they can do...I feel now that the pain is being managed, my biggest complaint is being tired at doing the simplest of things - like folding clothes - I feel that I need to rest after I do that - whereas before it was just a normal thing. My rheumatologist has stressed that sleep/rest is very important so he says when your body tells you to stop and rest - do it - whatever it is you have on your to do list can wait - otherwise you're gonna really feel bad and then nothing on your to do list will get done. I see my rheumatologist every 3 months right now and he says once I am doing okay on the meds and everything seems in check we'll go to every 6 months and then yearly until something goes out of whack and my treatment needs changing - he seems to really be on top of things.
What meds are you taking? Do you see a doctor on a regular basis?
Needing meds
I think just the opposite - it's the rest of you who could use the meds - or at least not be so judgemental - but I have found that this board - regardless of the subject has quite a few very rude, mean and just downright B***tchy women - sorry if you were offended, but it was my right to BF as long as I chose - and until you work hard enough to get a law passed against it - it's something you must deal with - I think that most of you are jealous of the fact that this is not something that you could do - or wanted to do - maybe you are feeling jealous because my kids are great - we have great relationships and maybe your kids don't even speak to you unless they need money - Most of you would give anything to have a family as close and functional as mine. However, it is something that you will never know. God has been very good to us - and thankfully I followed his Word and not yours.
Thanks - have been seeing a psychiatrist for meds
After a couple of years or so on the same meds, they stop being as effective. That's why we're trying Cymbalta.
I am more cyclothymic than bipolar (rapidly cycling, less extreme mood swings). I tend toward the depressive end of the scale most of the time. The Cymbalta did trigger my hypomania - but I'm hoping once my body gets used to it, it will keep me on the higher end of the scale but not as far as hypomania.
I'm going to give it a while longer to see what happens. Many thanks to all who responded!
No advice about meds, but...
if you are consuming caffeine, try cutting back. It helped me significantly. Even 1 cup of coffee was aggravating my anxiety.
I was on three meds before finding the right one (sm)
Zoloft made me too sleepy, Effexor didn't do much but gave me strange buzzing sensations when stopping it. Prozac, low dose (10 mg a day) has helped a lot. I take it in the a.m. so it doesn't keep me up at night. But by the end of the day it helps me sleep. (I also take melatonin for sleep). At first you may have some palpitations when your body is getting used to the Prozac, not sure about the other meds with that symptom. I definitely think Prozac is the best.
cholesterol meds sm
I was given Tricor (expensive) and it gives me embarrassing gas, only take it when I'm going to be alone, so it wasn't powerful enough and they added simvastatin which they told me to take before bed because supposedly that's when the cholesterol is best treated by this. I found it kept me awake or ? psychological??? I tried to stick to it because I have a doc's appt. Mon. and was so tired and nauseous from taking both, I actually feel like I have the flu. I think I am going to express the desire to just try diet but know I'll catch He*l, as they seem to prefer you to take all this stuff. I never heard of statin shuffle, can't find it, that's awful! Last time my #s were down to normal and they were so excited, well, now I think it's my turn to start to live again. If you can take it with no side effects, then do it, but I'm sick of feeling sick. Both parents had and died of heart disease, so I'm scared. There has to be a better way!
There are some Club Meds that do not
admit anyone under a certain age. Not all are family friendly, some very adult themed.
noncovered meds
Yes... This has happened more in the last 2 years than it has in my other 40!
I asked for birth control about a year ago and chose "the patch". My insurance company didn't cover that, so I decided to go with Depo Provera. Guess what... they didn't pay for that either.... LOL
Body For Life is a weight loss program that worked for me.
The book is full of ads for his foods. If you can read past the ads it has great advice. The journal is essential IMHO. It is nice to know exactly what you did that "worked" when you start to drop the pounds. I do Walk Away The Pounds for the aerobic exericise part.
Most libraries own the book. The ISBN# is 0007149670
I commend you for that...I am on Rx pain meds
and on 4 per day or every 6 hours. After doing this for a couple of years, I feel it is time to stop even if it means having to have surgery down the road. If I take even 1 less pill a day I feel the anxiety you mention among many other very unpleasant symptoms if I take less than that (clammy, achy, etc.) How many pills were you taking? And how did you do it?
Can you name 3 meds that don't come with scary waringing?

Did you know that vaginal yeast meds
and many of the meds for jock itch, ring worm and athletes' foot are the same exact drug? Now the sprays and/or powders use different ones from some of the creams, but the some of the athlete's creams are just like some of the vaginal yeast creams. It's all for fungal infections, but the makers want you to buy 3 or more tubes please, LOL.
pre root canal meds
Hi, sorry you are feeling bad. I am too, same reason. Here, we have a waiting list for the endodontist and they call you if and when there is a cancellation. I take 2 Advil LiquiGels and 2 Extra-Strength Tylenol every six hours and it works for a while. Do you have antibiotics? Make sure that you check daily for abscess because that is an emergency and must be dealt with. I hope I get mine fixed before my liver falls out from Tylenol. I have had several and now am about to give up because I don't have another $12,000.00 These are all from fillings I had as a child that expanded and made micro-cracks in molars, that then led to this horrible toothache. Last time I had one I had trigeminal neuralgia for 8 months afterward from the injection. Now I know why some people are "suicidal" when they have trigeminal neuralgia. I can't even have cold air on my face or cold beverages or it feels like I am going to die. I am with Hayseed. There has to be a better way to apply fillings and a less expensive way to repair teeth. We are upper middle class and still can't afford all this. Our insurance is of the "very good" variety and only pays a minimal amount for root canals and crowns. Is this discrimination to those of us who have lived to be over 35?
