Your sister sounds self absorbed and cares about herself only.
I have 2 sisters that are pretty self centered and selfish. Can't understand it either; we grew up in the same house, same parents, and same set of morals and values.
I can tell you that as you love your sister, sometimes it is difficult to admit her bad traits, because as family members we tend to overlook and accept them and have loved unconditionally.
We don't want to see the bad in our own family; however, if you pull away a bit, you start to see things you knew were there, but they seem to become more vivid. If you look back, you will see she had those traits all along, and you just overlooked them and accepted them because you love her.
When you don't speak up for what is right, your sister probably thinks you are okay with what is doing or saying, etc. She will never believe she is wrong.
I take it, she has a dominant personality and you are easy-going and laid back.
Been there, done that.
Personally, I would have laid into her a bit. If she didn't want to talk to me afterwards, so be it. She'll get glad again.
Sounds like when my sister's dog chewed up my eyeglasses one night beyond recognition
Although I was pretty much blinded so couldn't see them anyway. HA HA HA
Not a nice way to start the weekend though.
i think if the diarrhea
caused a hypokalemia, it could happen as sequelae to the rotavirus...but just my un-MD opinion....
She should check with her doctors, there are other meds that might not cause diarrhea.
Such as Prevacid, Aciphex, Protonix, or Nexium. (The GI doctors I work for say that any of these should be taken one hour before breakfast.)
Or Zegerid can be taken at bedtime. H2 blockers such as Tagamet, Pepcid, or Zantac also might help, they can be taken at bedtime. Her doctor or a pharmacist would be able to tell her if there's a problem with any of these while taking tamoxifen.
Also, it's important to eat the last meal of the day early and not lie down for at least a few hours after eating.
She could elevate the head of the bed (just putting more pillows there doesn't help) or get a wedge mattress or possibly one of those wedges to put under her pillow(s).
Any side effects? Odors? Bad breath? Diarrhea? etc. nm

I hate when the docs say foul smelling diarrhea
when does diarrhea ever not smell foul??? I also hate when they say creamy white sputum - makes me throw up in my mouth a little.
Heads up
Your right, I used the same strategy when I was unable to get any response from somebody, and it worked within one minute. I would advise not using it though in cases in which you might suspect foul play, because then you could give someone the heads-up and may give them time to dispose of important evidence or something. But I would definitely ask the police to check on your grandparents.
Heads-up
If you go on ABC's website, they show a lot of their more popular shows online. I watched Gray's Anatomy's first and second shows yesterday, at least this way I don't have to tape anything, plus just in case you read or hear something happening about any of the shows you watch, you do not feel left out about it.
Enjoy!
Heads Up
Just so you know to protect yourself. If you do not notify the law when he comes around, you will be in violation of the protective order yourself and may face the same legal ramifications he does. Without a police report, it can be considered an agreed upon visit. Your soon-to-be ex could set you up for that kind of trouble. He could use that against you. You INVITED him, blah blah blah. DO NOT let him in and call the cops if he comes around. Get his stuff in a storage building, pay first month bill and have registered letter sent to him his stuff is there. Have an inventory list as he may state you stole something valuable that doesn't even exist--firearms, collectibles, etc. Get some legal aid help with this. You qualify because of the restraining order no matter what your income. You can get a domestic violence advocate from the court to help you.
Okay, my sister and I are doing Thanksgiving this year and since my sister can't cook, that means
I'm doing the cooking. My sister gets equal billing cause we're doing it at her house. :) Soooo, I'm looking for some vegetable ideas. I am about sick of green bean casserole! Does anyone have any really tasty recipes for vegetables side? Any kind of vegetables. I'm looking for something different and fabulous.
I had a corn casserole at one potluck I went to, but never got the recipe. Anybody got a good corn recipe?
Thanks Ladies!
Heads up on gas prices!
One of my friends called today and gas in Marion, Illinois is over $5.00 a gallon. I guess it's expected to go up overnight. You may want to call your local gas stations and see. Her local Walmart station was going up at least $1.00/gallon within an hour of when she had talked to them.
heads up - Gays use condoms - you don't go
Heads up yourself! Heterosexuals use condoms! DUH!

That's why God put brains in our heads. We stay away from
things we know that could be harmful to us. 
Do you eat in the bathroom?
That is disgusting. I never eat in the bathroom and would never expect my baby to either. I don't get the breastfeeding hangups some folks have. I always nursed in public. I didn't take my shirt off, but I didn't suffocate my baby with a blanket either!!
We made the decision to breastfeed, not bottlefeed, so I didn't own a pump, why would I go through the hassle of a bottle if the breast is right there?
Keep nursing in public moms!! I don't nurse anymore (my babies are 11 & 14 and even I would find that gross!)
bathroom, sorry!

In the bathroom I
I went out to restaurant last weekend and the place was packed with prom goers.
The girls were in the bathroom and one girl was complimenting the other girl on her head band.
She said that her mother made it for her from some beading at walmart and ribbon and looked up on the internet how to design a greek style headband.
Sounds like a nice gift to me, if you knew the color of the dress.
Okay, I LISTEN FOR A LIVING RIGHT? I am a terrible eavesdropper. :)
bathroom do-over.....sm
We are getting our house ready to put on the market. I have a PINK bathroom and a YELLOW bathroom with the tiles that go halfway up the wall all the way round and matching toilets. It is a real nightmare! The tub needs resurfacing because it always looks dirty. I'm thinking about having the tub and the tile around it sprayed a neutral color, then chipping off the tiles on the wall and replacing with beadboard. Just wondered if anybody has had that spray-on resurfacing done. Is it expensive and does it hold up very long? Thanks.
I was in the bathroom with a cook at a SM
restaurant who didn't wash her hands. I was totally disgusted. I loved this restaurant. I went to the manager and told her what happened. She ran back to the kitchen and screamed--loudly--at the cook in their language and then came back to me and apologized and said the cook said she washed her hands when she got back in the kitchen, but that she would make sure none of her employees ever left the bathroom again without washing their hands.
I used to work in fast food as a teenager and even if I just went in the bathroom to look in the mirror, I would wash my hands just in case a customer should come in and suspect I had gone to the bathroom without washing my hands.
So, in short...lol...that is one of my pet peeves as well!

How'd you like to have this view from your bathroom?
The presidential suite bathroom at New York's Mandarin Oriental. The 2,640-square-foot suite rents for $14,000 a night.
That bathroom's about the same size as

Run a hot steamy shower in the bathroom and
Put the baby in the bathroom alongside of you, of course, but not in the shower. Just try to get the baby to get the steam from the shower. I used to do this when mine were little, and it worked great.
But doesn't it stink up the bathroom?
I don't know about you, but I love my garden tub and I spend at least an hour in the bathroom every day - just showering and doing my hair and makeup. I can't imagine smelling kitty litter while I'm doing that. I realize that bathrooms are made for the purpose of excreting stool, but it seems such a waste to have a tub like that and not use it for its intended purpose.
I always use my garden tub once a week to "rejuvenate" with a long soak. I figure I'm entitled to that even with the water shortages since I save on gas by not working outside the home.
To each his own I guess!
I loved a baseball bat in YOUR bathroom because I am in serious need of help!

Finally got my main bathroom remodeled.

Heads up! The Gab board is for general discussion not to include MT, Religion, or Politics.
This was put into place when we very first set up the Gab board. We have a Christianity, Conservatives, and Liberals forum that you can post on. But, let me be clear. I do not condone trashing of anyone's religious preference and neither should you. I expect posts on any of these forums to be respectful (that does NOT mean we are censoring, there IS a difference). This is NOT open for debate. These are the rules. If you can't respect them, you don't need to post here.
There's a big difference between the Wynn and your local Wal-Mart bathroom! sm
I've noticed a lot of holes where the hooks USED to be. I don't if people are jerks and rip them off just because they can, or if it's a result of all these gigantic purses people are carrying around these days.
Beef stew for the meat eaters and broccoli/cheese soup for the veg heads. nm

Recurring bathroom dream & ex dream
I have a recurring dream about having to go in a public bathroom and not only can everybody see me, but I am barefoot, wearing bell-bottoms and the floor is always wet. Yuck!
I also have recurring dreams about being back with my abusive ex and trying to get me and the kids away from him. We have been divorced 22 years, but I have these dreams frequently!
You may be, from the sounds of your posts, sounds like an *illegal*
and that in itself is a crime. Nobody else would take 65.00 for an entire day slaving/laundry, heavy cleaning, etc. LOL. Nah, I don't think so. I'm just saying, what it sounds like to me. : )
He sounds wonderful...sounds like you two have a relationship (sm)
based on love and nothing superficial at all. I'm glad you appreciate him and are so grateful for him. Best wishes & continued happiness to you both :-)
My sister did
My sister changed her OB in the last 2 weeks, but it was because she moved. She had an appointment to see an OB in her new town, went in and took her records, did some paperwork. Then, she went into labor the day before her appointment was scheduled. So, she met her new doctor in labor and delivery.
But, it was her 4th baby and the first 2 were born in military hospitals, so she was up for anything.
How are you supposed to contact your OB if you go into labor if they don't have an answering service? This is very strange.
My sister-in-law comes
About every 3 weeks and does a good cleaning. 2 bathrooms, 1 bedroom, kitchen and living room. I pay her $40/visit. Hubby's bathroom can get quite bad, so she gets a $5 or $10 tip if it's worse than reasonable. Then I just run a vacuum and keep the dishwasher and laundry caught up between.
I hate housecleaning and she needs the money, so it works out for us.
My sister is one
Had to break any ties with her 8 years ago. She recently contacted me and still does not understand while I will not speak to her. She is upset that she has missed my children growing up. But they are the reason I finally broke ties with her. She was bringing too much trouble and grief to my family and saying inappropriate things about our mother to them. She is 53 and still is fixated on all the wrongs done to her when she was 5. I finally said enough is enough. Have never been happier.
My sister and I both used it
I had good results initially, but then not so much. I didn't feel it was worth the money. My sister had fantastic results and it even faded a lot of her scarring on her chin and jawline.
My sister says it does (sm)
She lost about 40 pounds recently and says Hoodia helped her a lot. In fact her doctor told her to continue taking it. She has diabetes and is very overweight. I am trying to lose too! I have used hoodia before but didn't think it helped much. I just started taking Cordyceps mushroom capsules and am going to try Curvelle as soon as I can find it available somewhere. Good luck to you!
My sister . . .
made her hungry all the time, bloated and gained 10 pounds. Other than that she feels way better.
me ex-sister-in-law
totally different situation -but sounds the same in that maybe the child's mother is in denial????
I'm with ya sister....
unless you want predispose your child to becoming a ne'er do well, not to mention looking like a girl. Might as well get the mullet for the complete look!
My sister
has PMDD, and she takes Prozac with great success. I believe I just have PMS, but Prozac is not a good drug for me because of the side effect of apathy I get. If you take it and find yourself wading through dirty laundry, you'll know what I mean, LOL. I'm dealing with perimenopause, so I tried a soy-based estrogen-like product. It helped some, but then I changed to one that contained black cohosh. Wow, did I feel great. No PMS at all. Unfortunately, I lost my appetite and have stomach discomfort and dropped a significant amount of weight while taking it.
This site promotes it:
http://www.connecticutcenterforhealth.com/black-cohosh.html
However, I also read a site that said it could cause GI trouble and even a liver condition, so I quit the black cohosh a week or two ago. My appetite and weight are still not improving much. I'm 5ƌ and my weight is fluctuating between 118 and 120 now. I can do physical activity fine, but yet I'm having a feeling of low energy in my chest area and the stomach discomfort continues. I just had a bunch of lab work, which was all normal. Really weird.
Yes, my sister does it, and
it's quite fascinating (and addicting, apparently). She has traveled from AZ to VT and also WI to check headstones. If you go to her Facebook page, she actually has photos of family trees or something - I haven't clicked on them yet. I just saw them today.
My sister does.
I figure I have to go to the grocery store for fresh veg and fruts once a week or so anyway so I just buy what I need. My sister likes to buy in bulk and picks up extra when at a warehouse store and keeps it in the freezer. She says the milk is just fine after. I'm sure we have drank it too and had no idea. She goes through about 5 gallons a week with her family.
PS - about my sister sm
Diagnosed at Thanksgiving, chemo for Christmas, dead by Easter. No symptoms. Don't let it happen to you. I care about you. Give yourself the best holiday gift ever (not to mention the people you would leave behind who love you).
don't you think you sister would want you to

Your Sister Would Want You To Have Them
I think she would be pleased that her husband gave them to you. What an incredible act of love. :-)
P.S. My condolences on the loss of your beloved sister. Mine passed away 2 years ago and I still miss her very much.
Right on sister
Well said
My sister....sm
is one of my best friends. Not to say we didn't have to work to get here, because we did, but it was worth it.
Actually it was me and my sister
who joked about writing the whole note (about what an awesome gift) and neither of us minded at all. We just like to try to get laughs.
Of course, I don't know what was going on in everyone's head, but I would think the only people who might have an issue with such a thing is if they didn't know the person (whom the shower was for) very well or something.
My opinion is that it is a silly thing to get hung up on, and I certainly didn't mind it at all!
my sister does hair
and one of her clients bought her a jogging suit that says "i run with scissors!" she thought that was too fun! of course, depends on the personality.
I would never sue my family. We are out the $$ and out my sister.
Maybe I could've forgiven her for putting her hands on me, but now she is 100% lying and saying that didn't happen. This I don't think I can forgive.
I'm done with this and am going to move on. Unfortunately, my family dimensions are different now and that is sad.
