Turns out it was just another eye infection that had my upper "flab" under the eybrow swollen so bad. Whew! Was I ever scared. The eye is now back to normal complete with "weeping" that I have had for the past 8 years when I'm on the computer too long.
I want to thank you all for your support and suggestions. You guys are the greatest.

Posted about cabbage soup diet earlier
I made the soup yesterday and along with what it calls for added additional bellpeppers, garlic, lots, coriander (spelling?), parsley and both chunked up tomatoes and whole tomatoes. It is absolutely delicious and filling. Ok, not even 11 a.m. yet and I cooked some turnip greens this morning and ate some already (today is the vegetable and soup day). This diet is being used as a bridge for me as next week when I am not supposed to be on the diet, I have been setting up meals such as fish, lean meats and loads of vegetables, not fried for this week coming up. I had tried this diet some years back and like 1 of the posters, found it completely unpalatable but then again did not try the various spices like I have this time. Hope I am on my way to the XXXX amount of weight I need to lose!!
I posted earlier today asking for some suggestions to relieve severe s/m
hot flashes. Tonight I am doing a search for cures and came across a site that swears by apple cider vinegar. There are many posts on this site stating this has been a miracle for not only hot flashes but many other conditions. Now my question. . . How do you drink vinegar in water every day? I am terrible about any liquid medicines, etc. with a bad taste. Anyone use ACV? I wish there was a better way to ingest it. Thanks!
Ah, the L was there earlier, but I ate it.
Sorry.
Yes!! Exactly the same for me, only earlier (sm)
That same horrible, boring feeling but it was not related to work - it was related to my life. I think when you are a mom you start to become just sort of a facilitator for your kids in everyone's eyes - not really the kids eyes - but all the other adults and family members. I mean think about it - we had a group outing recently and all the moms sat on the deck "watching" while the kids and dads went waterskiing and getting pulled on the tube, etc. If as the mom you do decide you want a turn you have to wait patiently for all the kids to have their turn and then if you really boldly get up there an say you just really want a turn - you might get one. I know that's kind of a silly example, but that's how it is in real life for moms! Anyway, for a few years I wanted excitement so bad - I felt like I was going to explode. I am not sure a midlife crisis is always a bad thing - sometimes it is sort of a wake up call saying Hey!! You're not getting any younger!! is this how you want to spend the rest of your life??? Mundane and half-***?? I made a lot of changes - one of them was changing jobs - but then I changed back because I really like having my freedom with my job - but did find a better transcription service to work for. My marriage has been rocked and I don't know exactly what I am going to do about that yet, but I HAD TO make some changes. Whew!! Sorry you asked? LOL!
I saw this earlier this morning, as well--sm
and on my start page, they actually showed a picture of the poor puppy! I was appalled at what I consider to be a lenient sentence for inflicting nothing but anger and hatred on a poor defensless animal. Unfortunately, treating these types of people the same way they treat other beings constitutes a crime and violates *their* rights, and would instill a punishment on us far worse than what he received. However, if it was possible to inflict on him the same as he inflicted, I would be the first in line to do so!!! I highly doubt one of his punishments of 48 hours of counseling is going to undo what is screwed up in his brain! But I would surely love to be his *counselor*.
I saw this earlier today (sm)
On the Today Show. It seems that some feel sympathy for her because of her age. From what I have seen, she was asking for it from the moment she was stopped. The police have no idea who or what they will encounter and he could have been facing oncoming traffic about to plow him over, all because a "72-year-old lady" wouldn't move off the road.
Or from earlier, Cagney and Lacey. nm

This is 100% correct and like I stated earlier
The mother is making excuses for them not to go. She needs to check her attitude because kids play on this. Pack a bunch of things they like and don’t play into their crying. She apparently does not care much about the MIL- it comes out in her posts- saying she only wants to show them off? Most grandparents want to show off g'kids. This is not unusual.
What happened to all the other posts that were here earlier? Mod..can you help? nm

Try to work an earlier shift. Your
daughter should be able to keep herself busy with homework, chores, etc, until you get done working. Then when you aren't working, let her have her friends over or take her to a friend's house. You don't need to be distracted when you are working, especially in our line of work. She will just have to understand. But I would let her have her time with her friends when you are off. It will be less distracting for you and you won't have to jump up to see what is going on.
My daughter had done years earlier and
I noticed the other day she looks as though some have started to not be as aligned as they once were. I am hoping she will get a clear one to help realign hers.
Oh, I remember back way years earlier
when Elvis was serving in the army overseas and he met Priscilla- get this, very hush, hush now but he brought her to live with him when she was only 14 or 16 years old, just a child and he was in his 20s. She finished high school in Memphis. Heard years later she was living with his family, not what happened. Now what would that be called today? Older guy, really young girl?
My grandchildren bypassed me in earlier years
to go to their maternal grandmother, their aunts, their cousins, etc. I just finally gave up and did not seek out their visiting me anymore. Their mother did not want to share (my son should have done his share to see both grandparents to have time)- bottom line on this, they live about 15 minutes away- girl went off to college and wrote me saying surprised I did not come around nor call and I seemed to be ok with that. I did not go into why I was not in the picture, told her I was very happy and accept things as they were. She said saw her aunt more than me and told her that was the way it had been since she was born, not my choice but I just came to accept it. I do not worry about it anymore.
I know you said that earlier; you however did not give specific instructions on how to use it. sm
I was just trying to be helpful -- not take the wind out of your sails!
An office manager earlier in my career...
... those of you who have been around long enough will know the type... the polyester queen who'd started with the doctor when he opened his practice in 1951, and she used to work until 11 o'clock every night, keeping things caught up, but never put in for OT pay, and because she had done it, she expected the rest of us to do it too.... Labor laws? We don't need no stinkin' labor laws.... (No, we didn't stay one minute past closing time. We didn't let her guilt us into it.)
When I started at the job, I was promised a raise in a certain amount after 3 months. I got half the amount, and I was too chicken to raise a stink. Later, my finances got so tight, I went to her to tell her if I didn't get a raise, I was going to lose my apartment and have to move back in with my parents. She claimed she asked the doctors, came back, and told me I'd have to move back home. I later found out she never asked the doctors--and that if she had, they'd have granted the raise. Grrrrr.....
My desk was right next to hers, and if my typewriter was silent for more than 5 seconds she'd look over and comment on the fact that I wasn't working. Nevermind that I was looking something up in the Dorland's at the time....
Many, many years later, I somehow wound up next to her at a retirement party for one of the doctors. She too had long since retired, and I too had moved on, but they invited back any and all of the old staff they could find. By the end of the luncheon I was wondering how on EARTH I sat next to that witch with a capital B for 3 long years and didn't KILL her. Because she was still at it--picked on every single thing I did, including the fact that I ordered steak, because steak isn't for lunch, it's for dinner, and that if you can't afford to pay cash in full for a car, you are not to buy the car, you are to ride the bus to work until you have saved up the full cash price of the car. Then she grabbed my hand and screeched, "Do you bite your nails?"
Come to think of it... it was during that era that I started getting really, really cranky............... :)
Traffic is lighter earlier in the morning
And you'll have a little extra time at your vacation destination! I'm usually geared up to go on vacation anyway and it doesn't seem too awful to have to get up early and go!
Hope you have a great time!
On Jackson, what I said earlier today to husband was
since Farrah Fawcett died today, McMann yesterday I had always heard of hollywood deaths coming in 3s since I was a young child and I told hubby would not be surprised if another person dies soon. Unbelievable, sure did not think about Michael Jackson if this is true.
Ed Bradley from 60 minutes died of leukemia earlier. Sad. nm

I used to work for a finance company many in an earlier lifetime, sm
At that time, I never saw anything repossessed. However, they would guarnishee people's wages. The first thing you need to do is to contact the lenders to work something out. Sometimes they used to refinance the loans to lower the payments. Or, you could contact somebody like Consumer Credit Counseling Service (be careful and find a legitimate company). They can work out deals with your creditors. Be prepared that this will not help your credit rating, but the companies usually work with you if you are up front and communicate with them. At least they did back when I was working with them. The worst thing to do is to avoid them.
On the other hand, if you financed the furniture through the store, it could be that they would repossess. I know they do with cars.
What I was referring to was taking out a loan and putting down household goods as collateral, which is what people did when I was working for the finance company.
Acetone is nail polish remover, already said that earlier

I wish we could all go the week of the graduation but their graduations are always a week earlier th
ours. So actually all three of my kids are still in school this week while all of hers will already be out. My youngest is actually missing school to go but my two older kids have finals so they can't go at all that week.
Thank you. I guess I'm just trying to find a nice way to say it without causing friction and keeping the peace.
My DH is your typical male, just deal with it when the time comes whereas I want to take care of things right away without hurting anyone's feelings.
And FYI, the thread we are posting in right now was one I started, you started the earlier one. nm

Not by choice earlier in life, but now no kids by choice
When I was young we desperately wanted kids. We tried for years. (I never took birth control ever, and we even took fertility drugs and planned for multiple kids, just never worked out). Then went through a period of years where husband didn't want them but I did, then years where husband wanted them but I didn't, then about 15 years ago we both decided we didn't want them. We didn't even know what we wanted in life for ourselves and we figured if we couldn't figure out what we wanted why in the world would we bring kids into the world. Now I'm thankful we never did have kids and hope that we never do (I'm 52 with only one ovary - had ectopic pregnancy a few years back), but chances are I do not think we will ever have kids. Now I just cannot tolerate the kids. The little ones are very cute and we love hearing them play in our neighborhood. Some of the things they say are the funniest, but once they get to a certain age it seems like something in them transforms. When they lose the innocence of youth and start becoming little bullies talking back to their parents with their snotty attitudes we just always say, if he was my kid he'd never see the light of day again. Nothing drives me more insane to see the way some of these kids talk to their parents.
But now a days with all the bad going on in the country (around the world) and the country heading for disaster, and if the Mayan calendar is correct and in 2012 we see some major earth changes and the possibilities of civilizations being wiped out, who would want to put their kids through that.
So, I just say - I'm free of kids and loving it!
I posted on this before regarding
confronting parents about their children. This was exactly what I was talking about, the mother took up for her child (as most do now days regardless)and I, for 1, would not anticipate with love, praising, letting him work for you, etc., etc. that this will change him at all. You know what you faced with his mother and I would put some distance between my child and him. When raising my children, if a parent came to me telling me my child had done something wrong, you better believe I would listen and probably believe that person BEFORE my child. The reason is, most times parents are not going to take their time to come and face you directly about a child's behavior. I never ever thought just because they were my children, they were always in the right, never but times have changed. I would not confront, I would not try to change, I would distance.

I have posted this before but not sure if sm
it was this board. I remember the first time Nu-Victoria saw JT when she returned from Italy. It was at the hospital when Brittany's baby was being kidnapped. I saw the sparks flying when she said his name. I thought then they should get together.
I posted this further down sm
Kristen Rose, my daughter's name. My mother, my daughter, and I all share the same middle name "Rose" and my daughter has already said she wants to carry on the tradition. I would like to add my 2 cents about different spellings. It seems that so many people want to change the original spelling of a name just to be different. My name was spelled wrong on my birth certificate "Tereasa" and my mother left it that way. You can never find anything personalized spelled that way. It was always spelled wrong in yearbooks, programs for ballgames, etc. My mother typed my wedding announcement and when the newspaper recieved it they called to see if the spelling was correct. I find it a big hassel. JMO
at least I think it's you they posted to...LOL..nm
I posted below sm
and the read the above post. I agree with most everything but you can certainly work with the child if he will be confused about the name change. Our situation did involve adoption, my little (step)brother was 5 when my father adopted him. Becuase the adoption was not final when he started kindergarten he was taught how to spell and write his original name for the first 4 weeks of school and then it changed. Due to the fact that he never had a father figure and he always wanted a big family (instant older sister and brother) he had no problem with the name change. Depends on so many factors. I feel you will make the right decision for you and your child or else you wouldn't care enough to get other opinsions. Good Luck.
Posted this a while ago and..
only got a couple of responses which were regarding his name and how he should change it. Get past the name and take a look at the clip.
Yes the man has an incredible voice, but it is humbleness and the Cinderella story that brings tears.
Thanks! I will keep you posted! nmx

I posted below sm
that I also bought my dogs from a petstore and that I had no idea how horrible the puppy mills were at the time. I just held one of my dogs today and cried thinking about his mother. I won't even buy bird food (I have 2 birds) from a pet store. My son watched the show with me and did ask where can the pet stores get their dogs from. I honestly don't know. Can they go to private breeders? Sorry if I seem dumb, it truely is ignorance on my part, just like my ignorance about puppy mills until recently.

Enquiring minds want to know....Let us know how things turn out. I hope everything works out well.
How I posted the pic ......... (sm)
I WANT to see 'Tornado Alley' desks! hahahahaha!
I found posting a pic to be really easy. (The photo will work best if it's in jpg. format). (In order to get these instructions right, I've posted a photo I took in Santa Fe recently.)
Assuming you've already taken a pic of your desk, and it's saved in a photo file on your computer, just:
1) After the 'Post Image' box below the subject box of your post on MT Stars, click on 'Click here to Upload Image!'
2) When the next window comes up, click on the 'Browse' button to bring up a list of your computer files.
3) Find your photo (for example, to find mine, I click on Documents, then My Pictures, and then the photo).
4) Click on the photo you've selected, the the name of it will appear in the 'Select Image' box. Click on 'Open'.
5) Click on 'Submit'.
6) The picture will appear, and then click on 'Continue', which should bring you back to the text of your post. Then go ahead and post as usual.
Hope that helps. Show us that MESSY DESK! ;D
That's why I posted
There are girls who are getting sick from this. All I would like is for everyone to research this thoroughly before doing it, and please don't only read the docs articles. Of course they are going to say everyone should have it. Guess who pays them bonuses.
As for the lady who said in GA its required. I'd move out of that state before I let the government tell me what I should or should not have done medically.
Please just don't buy into the hype of it and question, question, question before thinking about it.
PS: (Im the one who posted below that she's
surprise to hear from her this morning that she's coming out to California for the rest of the weekend! Looks like just for once, I'm having a good-kharma day!
Yes, I am the one that posted
about this weeks ago. This cat is a beautiful calico. I need to take a picture of it and upload it sometimes.
when she first posted
her first post said the sister had to move out because he kept coming on to her - so I thought she must have been about 18 or so - but then she said she was young - a child - so why would such a young child be moving out - or even living there in the first place?
I have posted about him but not about this...nm
aa
Oh no, it's still posted..............nm
nm
Yes, I am the same Jan, who posted about
the Gray (Gy), several times.
Yes, anon, in this case, you are right, Gy is a unit of measure. But your explanation that you posted was not so clear.
My explanation was better.
posted this before
I posted before how my son's ex-girlfriend from over a year ago is making his high school dating life non-existent with the girl who asked him to sadie hawkins "changing her mind" at the last minute because of this ex-girlfriend's very persuasive sabotage.
Now he does not want a 16th b-day party because he is afraid she will screw it up by keeping other girls from showing up, etc.
This girl has already moved on and has a new boyfriend, but won't let the revenge thing for my son go.
On the one hand I am relieved that he now knows the earmarks of a psychopath and hopefully will not marry one...ever,
but on the other hand it makes me sick anyone can ruin someones 16th birthday.
Wow! Can't believe you posted this.
For the last few weeks, I've been staggering, running into walls and almost fell down the steps.
I had to go to the hospital today to renew my CICP (a health plan offered to the indigent) and they saw how I was walking and got a wheelchair. On the way back, I managed to walk (barely), but when they saw me coming to get my daughter's car, they told me to sit down and asked if I'd like a glass of water. I said yes. So someone showed up with a glass of water, followed by a nurse with some apple juice, who tried to get me to go to the emergency room. I declined.
She did ask me, though, if I was diabetic, which I'm not (yet). My doc said that once my pancreas is completely destroyed, I can expect to get diabetes.
Another thing: Does your husband find his vision is declining, becoming blurry? (Mine has been and during the same time frame.)Does he seem to lose his train of thought and have trouble concentrating?
Sounds like he might need a full physical because surely doesn't sound right.
Best of luck. It's probably nothing, but a checkup couldn't hurt.

eek sorry if I posted a bad site (m)
I was just googling for jewish actors and saw that site had a list that might be helpful for the OP to find who she was looking for. I did see the statement it was not a hate site and didn't really look at anything else on it.
Did not mean to offend anyone.
I posted a link for you....sm
Go to foodtv.com and search on blue crabs. Bobby Flay has a great recipe.
Do keep us posted as to his whereabouts!
Last I remember, he was watching you perched on top your computer. 
I actually posted the message above
I totally agree with you. I found it strange that I go to read another post regarding this matter, and your sentiments are mine exactly. Breastfeeding is not for everyone, and that is why the formula companies have made so many different great canned formula that children can have and thrive. So many children are starved and have problems because breastfeeding is not being done properly. I'm not sure I even like "feeding into" this post, but it needs to be said.
yea, I read that AFTER I posted....s/m
one of the posters put up an ABC link and I read (after I posted) that she did, indeed, check in and check right out over at Eric Clapton's Crossroads rehab place in Antigua.........
she's stupid not to take advantage of this lifesaver and go through rehab............
but it's all about choices, now isn't it?....she has never seemed to be the brightest bulb......eh?
I posted the question because...
some people are not sure how they feel about it, and I think that is the reason we have inadequate laws to keep these criminals behind bars. We need to let our lawmakers know that we want STRICTER SENTENCES for rapists and child molesters. I believe life sentences are in order, but many serve little or NO jail time, and that is an outrage. That is why I posted a link to Oprah.com with a prewritten letter than can be sent to your state rep. demanding sticter laws to keep better tabs on these perverts.
