In Reply to: Would it still work if thyroid issue is causing it? - Courtney
the medication I was taking previously for the thyroid problem was a big cause of the hair loss. Having said that, I told my doctor I wanted armour thyroid and has it made any difference, no not that I can really see after about 3 years. The dermatologist seemed to think, even with the thyroid problem, that Rogaine would give some hair but I questioned that myself. You ever heard of Topik (spelling)? Have that also.

If I don't read before I go to sleep I can't fall asleep. I will read sm
until I begin to fall asleep. They say reading relaxes you fully and it works wonders for me.
I used to suffer from insomnia, but not since I've been doing this - about 5 years now.
Plus, I've grown so much and have gained wisdom by doing so. I enjoy Christian books and reading the Bible.
Has anyone read
I read it last week and just wondering if anyone else has. I thought it jumped around a bit but it was interesting to get to know more about her and I enjoyed hearing about Dr. Phil. They seem genuine.
I just read, it's $360................

read again
You were so quick to respond and try to tell me my daughter WILL have bad behavior that will make her in danger for STDs that you didn't even read, I said he told me the NEXT day. Just because some people have no control doesn't mean we all don't. There are still virgins on their wedding day out there....even though that may be a SHOCK.
I have read and re-read --sm
my posts and I seriously wonder how you ever got that I thought surgery was the only way to go when all I said was that some of these reports were *created* by insurance companies who do not want to pay for ANY care concerning carpal tunnel if it was an over use issue. But whatever...that is not what I meant. All I meant was than insurance companies tend to manipulate reports to THEIR benefit, not the patient's. Surgery or no surgery...that is the individual's choice and not my concern. Sorry you did not UNDERSTAND what I was saying.
you believe everything you read????

I have read all of them...sm
and there was one person who said many times that they believe he did this because he was taught anti-americanisms while he was in school in korea (kindergarten, first, and second grades) or had been taught it by his korean parents. Hate has no nationality. That's all I am trying to say.
Sorry, should read
do that....
I read this in SOD, but (sm)
I thought they only tape about a week ahead, so I thought since it's been a week, he might show up today. Oh, well, I can wait.
Did not read below but if you have an outside - sm
box on your house, anyone can creep into your yard and plug in a computer and go to town. You can put a lock on it, ours looks like a small gray box attached to the house about 8 x 8 inches or so, open it up and you will see phone jacks, it is how the repairmen check the lines, etc. w/o coming inside. Anyone could just run a long line and sit in a car nearby and do it too, but depending on where you live I think this would be noticed. If it happens consistently still check it out, see if some kid/night owl is hacking in this way by getting up in the hours it happens and see if someone is doing this, if so problem solved (call the police obviously if you see this happening); if this is not the case, then maybe take your phone off the hook at night, I would think then they would not be able to hack into it w/o a dial tone. I hope you get this resolved quickly.

that Maine has the highest consumption of Allen's in the 48 contiguous states.
Never heard about Allen's and milk, but I'm from away, too. I learn new things all the time up heyah.
Lobstah, blueberries, pahtatahs and Maine's champagne: Allen's. Gives new meaning to "The Way Life Should Be"!
Can you read
any words like Budweiser or beer? There is certainly nothing wrong with the draft horses working with a cart, and your kids really aren't going to think "beer" when the look at it. If people are going to be over and might think about it, or if it bothers your husband, maybe there is a wood filling product that could fill in any words that refer to beer or pictures of beer bottles, etc. Maybe you could then use stain or a rosemaling (painting technique) design over it, or whatever would complement the style. It sounds really cute to me.

Is it something you would read again?
I was just thinking that I could just go to the library, but sometimes I like to read books over again - after waiting a sufficient amount of time so that I forget all the details! Is the series something you would go back and read again?
Yes, I will probably read them again
Loved the books better than the movies, but the movies were okay.
OK, read it again and again, still don't get it...
Must be me...oh well!
I read that to mean
there should be no drinking age like in Europe. Not that there should be no drinking. My two high school kids went on a school trip to Italy and Greece in April. They said the only teenagers getting obnoxiously drunk were the Americans and the Canadians teens were drinking but not to excess. Also all the Canadian kids smoked cigarettes too.
I just read about that!
All sorts of elements when combined or heated will cause noxious fumes and those symptoms. Even some welders have to wear respirators and breath canned oxygen when working with some metals. Can't wait to hear more about it though!
Er, um, that should have read....
"Having your own teeth SHOULDN'T have to be considered a luxury." I'm sure you knew what I meant though. Frosts my tuckas it does.
from what I have read this is an
"emotional affair". You are better off letting it go and finding a friend that can talk to you without it being a secret.
Would you read....
your spouses/SO diary? Or do you consider that an invasion of privacy?
What if you suspected your spouse/SO was involved in something (drugs, cheating, theft). Would it make it ok then?
Read into it what you want
To your email- I was not suggesting anything- was telling like I said. End of story.
I have them too - read something
cannot remember now - big help, I know. Look on the internet.
Before looking at a used car read this...sm
Look at Consumer Reports April issue - it should be available at your local library for free. They have information on cars as to their reliability and value for the past several years, as well as recommended vehicles for various price ranges. Be sure to have an independent mechanic check out the vehicle thoroughly before making a purchase. Pay $10 for the CarFax report to make sure the vehicle hasn't been previously totaled.
Good luck!

You need assistance and support.
He is young and does not understand why you are right there but not able to spend time with him. Quality time.
Put him in a mother's day out or a daycare program so you can concentrate on the homeschooling for your others.
Then, when you pick that 3-year-old up, make the next 30 min to an hour quality time for the 2 of you together.
You're pulling a lot of weight here with homeschooling then working at night at home. He probably feels neglected.
If I were you, I would reconsider the homeschooling, put those boys in public or private school, put the 3-year-old in a daycare, work during the day and have a normal, peaceful, quality night with my family.
The kids will grow up but work will always be there.
Do not continue spanking him -- I'm not an anti-spanking person -- but he does not understand and you are hurting him with no outcome other than simple pain and humiliation.
Yes - please do read that! (nm)

Last week a little girl in my community was having a snowball fight with her friend. Her mom was clearing the snow from the driveway. The little girl slipped and fell and her jacket got caught in the auger of the snowblower. She was without oxygen for at least 11 minutes (that was response time for emergency workers to make it to her house). We don't know how long she was trapped before someone called 911, mom was hysterical (obviously) and kept screeming she was dead, she did not at that time try to get the jacket off of her. The little girl has so far made it but she is still on life support.
I am asking for you all to do 2 things:
1. Keep this little girl and her family in your thoughts and if you are spiritual then please keep her in your prayers and let's hope for a miracle.
2. I am asking that you please don't allow your children to be anywhere near you or anyone when you are snowblowing. Things just happen too quickly.
I know my kids are always playing outside when we clear the driveway and we "shoot" snow at them from the snowblower but that will not happen again. This poor mother has to live with what happened for the rest of her life and I can't even imagine the guilt and pain she must feel but she has to keep going because she has 3 other children at home.
I'm sorry to be a downer on Christmas Eve but if a miracle is going to happen it will be today.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays to all.
Before you do anything - please read
A few years ago, my husband went absolutely crazy with credit cards. I have always been very frugal and careful with money so it was pretty devastating to me. Especially since he kept it a secret until it was way out of control.
You can try the same thing I did to get us out of this mess he created.
Hopefully you have made some effort at payments or at least have kept in touch with your creditors. If not, it might be a little tougher but you can try.
Call the card companies and ask to speak to an account supervisor. Don't speak to someone answer the phones. Trust me. You need to speak with someone who isn't going to waste your time. Explain the situation and how you are trying to fix it now that you have steady employment.
Call the one with the highest balance first. Ask if it is possible for them to lower your APR and consider giving you a much lower FIXED rate for at least up to 1 year if not for the life of the balance if you also include a balance transfer from another account to this one. If they say no. Big Deal. That's all they can do and, you can call back in a week or so and do it again, maybe not get the same person.
Make sure when you call that you write down the date, time, who you speak to, and make notes of every conversation. Keep these separate for each card.
If you are granted the request of extended credit for balance transfer and lowered fixed interest, make sure you request a letter stating these changes. Write that down too and make sure you get that letter. If you don't get it.. call them back and go back to your notes from the original call so you have all the details and GET THAT LETTER!
Remember, you do not want to max out any of the cards. If you can do the above with at least two cards and get everything down to 2 cards or less, you will be doing okay and you will see the debt going away a lot faster.
If you can swing it, make DOUBLE payments on at least one of the cards every month. I know it sounds painful but, believe me, I did it even when things have been extremely lean around here and I am so glad that I did. When you get one of those cards paid off, you aren't done yet. Put the entire payment you were applying to that card to the next card. Every time you pay something off, you move that payment plus the minimum to the next one and the next one until you are all paid off.
When you get one card paid off, make sure you call the company after the first statement you get that says ZERO balance and cancel that card immediately.
Remember I said my husband's credit card debt was around $28,000.00 - That was just a little over two years ago. I have one card left and the balance on it is $7000.00. The minimum payment on this card is $143.00 per month and I have taken all of the previous payments from the cards I have already paid off and am now applying those to this card too, totalling about $600.00 per month so I will have this one paid off in about a year too.
You can do it. Don't take no for an answer. Just be patient, wait a week or so, and call again until you get what you want. They WANT our money and they want our business. They WILL give in eventually.
I also found that a little hard bargaining sometimes worked. If someone told me they could not grant my request for a lowered fixed interest. I would tell them that I am prepared to do a balance transfer today and close this account unless they could give me a better deal. That usually worked the first call.
Good luck.
Just now getting to read this
I actucally did make the spinach dip LOL!. About 4 minutes before the game was over my mom decided we should clean up the kitchen. I am a giants fan and didn't get to see any of the excitement. Oh well, at least my team won and my DH chile won.
I also read that (sm)
I also read that they are tunnelers, diggers. I think I'm just telling my sis to give to other girl - by all accounts, she would be a responsible pet owner. I'd like a mid-size dog for the backyard - what kind of dog would be hearty enough to withstand that environment. I just cannot have an inside dog, period. I have a garage that the dog will go into if it is too hot, too cold, rainy, etc., but majority of time would have to be outside in backyard. Thanks in advance.
That's a lie, too. Do you believe everything you read?

Sometimes they want you to read it!
I don't think you did anything wrong. We need to use all means at our disposal to know what's going on in their lives.
During my oldest daughter's senior year, she was having a hard time, but I was not aware of the half of it. She was an honor student, on the debate team, always very responsible. She started getting very irritable and would fly off the handle at everything, but I chalked it up to typical teenage behavior. One weekend she went away for the night and I went into her room to get something and saw her diary right smack in the middle of her desk in plain sight. I read it. I found out she was using alcohol and was depressed to the point of being suicidal. I confronted her about this when she got home and she admitted it was true and willingly accepted getting help with a counselor. She never asked me how I knew. I'm convinced to this day she left the diary there for me to read. She wanted me to know and didn't know how to tell me. We got her some help and now she's off at college, doing much better. Parents, sometimes they WANT you to read it!

The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Sun are the best I have ever ever read. You have to stick with them though. Terrific read.
Have you read....sm
the book about Lord John Gray? I never thought he was that interesting a character to warrant his own book.
So #7 might not be the last? That would be wonderful! I remember I started reading one by the fountain outside the bookstore before I even got it home and another one in the car on the way home from the mall and DH said, Well, guess I won't be seeing you for awhile.
Yes, I read it, but
I found it very odd and not believable. It sort of disturbed me that
(SPOILER WARNING)
see below only if prepared for a spoiler
the image of Father God was depicted as a woman (after the shack was reached near the end). It seemed too "mother earth," which is a pagan god, for me. I just couldn't shake that idea.
I was so sad when I read about this
I've loved John Travolta since Welcome Back Kotter Days and have always followed his career. I just hope the press leaves he and Kelly Preston alone, although I doubt that's possible.
Ok I read it again....sm
So you are saying the place you resuce dogs FROM are the ones who put them down. You don't actually have them put down.
I hate that folks won't give these dogs a chance. They aren't all bad. I think it is so prejudice and unfair.
And if you read these, you would know
I CAN and DO afford what I buy. I said I pay what due on the card, the interest charges and most months pay more than what is asked. I never said I pay the minimum. I am wondering if anyone reads English around here anymore.
Here is what I read
The 23-year-old, who made it into the Top 36 on last night's show, is rumored to have had a close relationship with a pair of executives from 19 Entertainment, the company that produces Idol. She's also had a record deal.

US states that recognize gay marriage:
California
In May of 2008, California's Supreme Court ruled that banning same-sex marriage in the state was discriminatory (read more). However, Proposition 8, a voter initiative was passed, effectively striking down the court ruling. Marriage in California is now defined as between one man and one woman. More on Prop 8.
Connecticut
In a 4 to 3 decision, the Connecticut Supreme Court overturned the state's ban on same-sex marriage, making it the third state to allow legal gay marriage.
New Jersey
New Jersey is the third U.S. state to offer same-sex civil unions behind Vermont and Connecticut. The new same-sex civil unions law, which goes into affect on February 19, 2007, grants gay and lesbian couples the same rights as marriage. *(Although same-sex unions in New Jersey are classified as civil unions, couples are granted the same rights as married heterosexual couples.) read more
New York
Note: By a May 29, 2008 directive, New York only recognizes gay marriages from couples legally married outside of the state. read more
Massachusetts
On May 17, 2004 Massachusetts became the first U.S. state to legalize same-sex marriage. The State of Massachusetts also issues licenses to gay couples from New Mexico and Rhode Island since neither state explicitly prohibits same-sex marriage.
that's how I read it all, too... -nm-

I'm 41 and I feel I have to watch what I say around my mom only because she has told me several times things I AM NOT to discuss with her including, but not limited to, my health, meds, boyfriends, friends, parties, etc. Basically it boils down to "what is the weather like".
On the flip side, you are the mom and you are lucky that your daughter told you this. This opens up a whole new area for you and your daughter to explore. Maybe she didn't say it to be hurtful, but to be assertive and say how she feels.
Have lunch together. Talk about things and why she feels this way. There is no reason for a daughter to feel like that with her mother or visa versa.
GOOD LUCK AND PLEASE KEEP US POSTED!!
Thx, off to read them now. nm.

Been there, BOO (Please read)
Oh, Boo, I know how you're feeling.
I'm on 40 mg of Lexapro a day. I got very depressed after years of infertility, only to end up with a prolapsed uterus and abdominal hysterectomy. To make matters worse, Celexa stopped working for me because I had taken it so long. I have been on a roller coaster of anti-depressants and so far, Lex is doing pretty well. I had a plan. Let's just say I'm an avid shooter, do competition shooting and all so I respect my gun enough not to use it in that way but boy, a bottle of Klonopin and some booze was surely in the back of my mind.
What kept me alive? My 3 pugs. They are spoiled. I know their every mood, their every need, every want, every desire, their every expression, whine, moan and bark, and if one of them is hurting. Nobody could care for them the way I do. I knew it would devastate my husband, parents, sister, in-laws, nieces and nephews but I also knew they had the capacity to eventually cope with it. My dogs would never have a clue as to why Mommy never came home. They howl as it is if I so much as go to get the mail.
Who says you're too old for another job? I'm 42 and hoping in a few years to go to nursing school. If we can't afford it then, I'll try when I'm 50 (unless Obama completely screws up medicine). After about 2 months on the Lex, I am finally starting to have good days. And yes, I've spent time in the psych ward because I was on the verge of offing myself. Got into a nice argument with a counselor there who dared to badmouth Reagan, saying he was the reason so many state mental hospitals closed down. No, he was not, I argued. Reagan cut funding to the states. The states decided what programs they were going to cut. He shut up about it after that. Badmouth the Bushes all you want but leave Ronnie alone (and know your facts before making absurd statements). What a jerk he was. :-)
If you're feeling that badly, please go see a psychiatrist and a counselor. Let us know how you're doing. I'll be thinking about you.
God bless!
Maybe you should read more than just the bible...
Some interesting info can be found about this subject. Here is some: Everyone, religious or not, believing in God or not, transitions to the spirit world as part of the natural process of life. Just as one does not need to be religious to live in the physical world, one does not need to profess a particular faith to live in the spirit world. Thus while one does not have to be religious to dwell in the spirit world, one inevitably will benefit from a thorough understanding and practice of a particular tradition. This said, however, it needs to be recognized that not all teachings described as religious are beneficial. Religion which is judgmental, prejudicial, critical, and narrow may impede the spirit's natural growth.
what does a 15 year old boy read sm
I need to buy a book for a 15 year old boy . I took the tagged off our tree at church. My 18 year daughter suggested Catcher in the Rye (her favorite) . Do you have any suggestions?
and you had better read that part again..sm
and obviously you always have to have the last word which again shows your ego. I asked you politely to drop it, but you just could not leave it alone. NOW it is the end of the debate, for the third and final time!
I know this will not be easy to read but I believe
we are responsible for how others 'treat' us because we have allowed it.... not easy to accept - I know - because have been through this myself and it is hard to swallow but if you think about it - it does make sense. When others disrespect us, either by not treating us the same as we treat them or by doing other unacceptable things and we continue to allow them to do this w/o confronting - they will continue to do so and in order to stop you need to stop allowing it and stop accepting it - and realize you are worthy of more. It's a hard step to take and a long road to haul but it can be done. So sorry! Trust me - have been there myself and slip back every so often but it is worth it to change!
Wish I had read this when I was younger!
Everything you said was on the mark. Thanks for a great post!
Again, if you re-read my post about how she is very
"scatterbrained" to the maximum, I find it very, very difficult to believe that there is absolutely nothing she can do about this because there is and she chooses not to. You seem to be taking the "Oh, she can't help it approach," and this is where we strongly disagree.
End of story. No more from me.
