He's a beauty!
What a handsome boy! Congratulations !
As an aside, Hayseed what exactly are you pointing at? Or are you doing the 70's groove thang? 
Beauty
It is surprising that such beauty that mushrooms can be so beautiful.

She is a beauty! Thanks. NM

the beauty of Christianity
We ALL have skeletons in our closets!!!!! We all are sinners!!!!! The beauty of the gift of Christ is that we can be forgiven through his sacrifice if we make him our Savior. That is what draws the line between a true Christian and an unsaved person, not the sin, as we all have it in our lives.
cheap beauty
Benzoyl peroxide at night (zit cream) Aveeno 70 SPF face sunscreen during the day. The sunscreen has some type of silicone in it with lots of vitamins and some zinc for a shimmering effect. The benzyol peroxide cream sloughs off the dead skin cells, but it stains bed sheets and clothes, so get out your white pillow cases. The sunscreen is about $10 for a large tube.
allergies
One of my cats does this and it is just plain ol' allergies. Just to be sure, though, I would ask the vet.
Good luck and congrats on ur first kitty!
yes - what do you mean? allergies? (nm)

go to Sally's Beauty Supply if you have one
I promise you this will help thinning hair and also I have shared this with my friends who have lost their hair due to chemo treatments. This is a leave-in hair conditioner, comes in a plastic tube (you have to shake it up each time) that smells terrific. Now, you don't just apply it like hair conditioner, what you have to do (and there are no instructions to tell you this) is you have to move your scalp back and forth with your fingertips once you apply this to your scalp. The scalp moves very little - but it is this little movement that stimulates the conditioner into making your hair MUCH THICKER within 2 months! I PROMISE YOU. I was on interferon in 2000 and a hair salon owner told me about it as I had hair loss (not total) very badly from the interferon (a clinical trial used on me but not for cancer) and what she told me was the absolute truth!!! If you don't have Sally's Beauty Supply, try any beauty supply store. Fermodyl comes in many numbers but you are looking for number 7.
Hope this helps - as a matter of fact, I am 110% sure it's going to work for you. 
I don't watch beauty pagents, but
saw on the news where the Miss USA was booed in Mexico. How sad that our neighbors don't seem to like us. I hope this was just a fluke.
My bad! My little girl says its Sleeping Beauty
not Snow White! I stand corrected! I'm not a princess expert by any means!
He was a beauty, Hay. I'm glad you found each

Me too, it is so very hard to lose a pet. What a beauty.

She's a beauty...sorry for your loss Misha...sm
The day you started your new job and Bear ate the ottoman, I e-mailed you and asked about Sasha and she seemed to be okay. Hasn't been too long since your last dog passed on and you got Bear. I bet she will be a great lead dog with her other buds up there. Cat
Health and beauty products
I always like to hear about good reviews of products because sometimes it can be overwhelming with all the choices. I just thought we could all share about one or two of our favorites - hair or makeup. I personally love L'Oreal volumizer mascara and most Lancome makeup even though it's pricey. I'm looking for a really good shampoo and conditioner though - anyone?
Dog allergies/dog book
Don't know what kind of a dog but my sister had a Red Setter that had thyroid problems and also an allergy to wheat and so they had to buy special food without wheat which was only "Friskies" and that did help to cure the itching. Oprah had a repeat on about the Dog Whisper and showed how he cured several dogs of being aggressive around other dogs. His book is wonderful. My neighbor got it and it worked for them. Have been luck with my dog, she is now 16 which is very old for her mix -- chow/lab and she has never been aggressive. Did not have any puppy problems with chewing or barking. Of course she got her walks every day of over 2 miles at a time and I think that exercise is the biggest help. Never crated her either and if and when I get another one will not do that to a dog. Mine is now deaf and partially blind but still walks up to the park three times a day, slow but does it. Never an accident in the house. No medications except aspirin. She will probably outlive me.
Bleh! We have allergies, so the less, the better!
I like Sam's club in the big bucket, though; it smells like I remember detergent smelling when I was a kid. It must be an old fragrance.
We use the Oxyclean ball and love it. Not much scent left, though, but in our house that's a good thing.
Dogs will do this when they have allergies...sm
which they can develop at any age. Take the dog to the vet for an evaluation and if the dog has allergies there are lots of medications for this available - even over-the-counter!
previous cat allergies
My husband almost didn't date me because I had cats, and he was allergic to cats. Fast-forward, and once desensitized, he'd give you a limb before he'd hand over one of the cats.
Incidentally, my allergy shots have literally everything possible packed into them including cats. They don't bother me at all. Something to think about it.
What about peanut allergies?
They could KILL a student with a peanut allergy doing something like this. Do you mean to tell me in this day and age a school can not give a child a meal if they have no money on their card? Where is the compassion? How can a child learn on an empty stomach? I understand they may have to do that with parents who are complete deadbeats, but why embarrass and starve the kids? How humiliating and inhumane. Not to mention potentiall dangerous!
Fermodyl #7 from beauty supply store
only thing is - this is a leave-in hair conditioning treatment - you massage only the scalp part and by only moving the scalp versus your fingers....my hair grew back in 2 months (was on interferon and lost a lot of hair on that drug) with Fermodyl #7.....
zinc is good for hair, teeth, and GUMS.......
beauty fades, dumb is forever

Had to get my beauty sleep but back today
I have to take Lyrica nightly and just get to the point have to lie down, so sedating, take for fibromyalgia and cannot take in the day. Back to you, though. I would definitely try, if possible, to get out of the house either with hubs or some friends. You are in a mighty rut and it will drive you crazy. I am not saying you have to run around on hubs but do something for yourself to help your sanity out. I took some ceremics (sp?) and I travel- without hubs- I love but he does not want to go and so I go with a group. One group I am with has day trips and this month going to Shorter, Ala because has gambling place there. Not a gambler but have a friend who can have a good gab session with, eat lunch and just watch what others are doing for the day. It is on a nonwork day and just something to do for the day to get out. I love home, don't mind staying here about 24/7 but also love that traveling. Can you and hubs afford a night out, dinner or the like? I think if you were able to get out some then life may not be so totally boring at home. Don't know where you live but in my town I could go to a good comedy show. That could help with the laughter you are missing and I go to the movies sometimes and just by myself. I do not allow hubs to come as he ALWAYS falls asleep, no matter what the movie is. Some days I make it a movie day and get 2 at the same theater and see them both, just me. Gosh, I don't know what else to suggest but find time and make time for yourself, laugh and have a good time even IF by yourself, could make a difference in some sunshine in your life.
Big problem for people with allergies!! sm
Wondering if those who take their pets think of those people. They didn't go to a store where they thought they'd be exposed and now have to suffer because others think they are above common courtesy and rules? Shame.
Pit bulls are very prone to allergies.
From a little research I did, have you tried a high quality lamb kibble yet? That's what most of the sites are recommending for pit bulls. This is one site, but it is down at the bottom of the page.

There are other antihistamines that are used for dogs besides Benadryl (never use one with a decongestant, of course). Tavist is one I've used. You may find a 12-hour or 24-hour one more beneficial, but do check with your vet for dosing. We actually got an air cleaner for Misha at one point, though her problems didn't turn out to be allergies.
Allergies/headaches from wine?
This California wine is sulfite free. It's grown organically too.

Allergies possible? I lived at the dermatologist - sm
for a couple years, would get this horrible rash on my neck, hurt, oozed, itched, totally sucked. Dr. suggested I do my own allergy testing at home. I put a spot of shampoo, my ferret's hair, body soap, clothes detergent, etc. under seperate band-aids on inside of my forearm and left them on untouched and dry for 48 hours then removed. I had a horrible red rash/reaction to my shampoo. (was also allergic to 1 of my ferrets, the one that still had its musk glands. So I stopped using that brand of shampoo and it cleared right up. Happened again a few years later and switched shampoos again with complete resolution of the rash. Luckily it has not happened since. So it could be as simple as exposure to something he uses every day or on frequent basis, you just need to figure out what. My DH became allergic to Tide about 10 years ago after they changed their Bleach Alternative formula, got a rash all over his body from it, obviously we don't use that brand anymore. Good luck.
be careful if you have environmental allergies
my son has severe environmental allergies and we were told to never hang out his laundry as pollen can attach itself to the clothing and make his symptoms worse. We are also to run an air conditoner, not use fans and never open the windows to help cut down on allergens. So much for frugality in our home!!! :(
Have you ever been tested for food allergies?
What is the one thing that you have at each meal consistently? A drink? Some type of bread?
Start keeping a diary and after a couple of weeks, show it to your doctor to see what he/she thinks.
We've been reading up on dog allergies
and it seems that there are 3 distinct types of dog allergy: to dander, saliva, and urine.
We both think that he is allergic to the saliva since he has intense itching when a dog licks him and he remembers itching intensely when he was a teen when their poodle would lick his neck. He has had a scratch test and he is allergic to dogs, cats, rabbits, and horses, among other things, but he is most allergic to dogs.
It seems that no dog is truly nonallergenic, and dogs like the Bichon Frise that are labeled as hypoallergenic are labeled so because they are groomed more frequently, thus ridding the dog of excess dander. Some dogs are high dander dogs, and one of those is the pug and of course what I want most, a dachschund.
I guess the next step will be to find out if the scratch test was for dog dander or saliva. He's probably allergic to both.  Gosh I want a dog but it's not looking good for me.
Check to see if there's a beauty supply place in your area. nm

This annoying little cough I have from allergies or cold
Can't tell which it is. But it has hung on for a long time, and today really driving me nuts. Glad no one is home, they'd think this is the "house of tuberculosis!" My own cough is today's pet peeve!
Is it allergies from all the pollen? Do you live in the South? nm

Hi; Oh DEFINITELY familial/genetic components to allergies/asthma....sm
Allergies run very strongly on my mom's side of the family; there are four of us, my brother had severe hay fever/sinus problems all his life, my sisters have the same, my sister Bev has had asthma which she outgrew, lucky thing, and I started out with just generic allergies that turned into allergic diathesis, which makes me allergic to SO MANY foods, animals, plants, trees, environment substances, chemicals, meds, molds, dust mites, etc., severe asthma, and now my docs want me to consider sinus surgery for polyps and a deviated septum. Also, allergies stem from the immune system, and I also have Sjogren's, RA, and SLE, all of which are autoimmune. If you go on some of the national information sites for allergy and asthma, they have some very indepth articles on the familial/genetic link to allergies. But please do not despair regarding children, etc. Sometimes one sibling will be mildly allergic, but another will miss it entirely, it is not a dominant disorder. I have three kids, and they are hardly affected at all, just a bit of pollen sensitivity in the Spring. Hope you are doing well!
Heck yes!

What the heck is it????

Been there - heck, there now!...
Same thing at my house - if i'm the least little sick, husband asks if I need to go to the hospital. If I say I don't, then by golly I should be well enough to keep working, cleaning, taking care of him and the kids, etc. I feel your pain! :(
Heck, ask him. Maybe you can get some $ from

How the heck
Call me dumb but I have to ask before I try this. You put the dandruff shampoo on your face? and is this a 3-step process, rinsing between, or you put it all on together? How often do you do this once a week, a month?
What the heck?
Physical ramifications? Which ones are those? You all start on the biggest bunch of getting shrinks for this, ramifications for a piece of skin cut off as a child, no wonder kids now days are a bunch of wimps. The parents are making them like that. No man or boy that I have ever known has had to go into therapy because of a circumcision. Bunch of crock.
Allergies? Anything specific blooming this time of year? Anemia?

My son got a memory foam and the thing reeks!! UGh.. some people have allergies

No, what they heck are they thinking?

What the heck does your post have anything at all
to do with my husband's health??? Obviously you've posted in the wrong area!!
Romey! How the heck are ya?!
Ham was in the cam all day today...it's about 45 degrees out and she has been out there all day is turning BRIGHT pink! I'm actually worried she's going to burn, but she insists on lying out there and soaking in the rays. Can't say I blame her one bit. If I could, I'd be moving this 'puter thing outside and doing my work out there today! It was 10 degrees out there this morning and overnight and we have had nothing but snow and ice for ages it seems...such a welcome sight that sunshine is!
Well, after a week in the Mirra chair, I sat in this Aeron and wow--what a difference. I actually like it better than the Mirra! The seat is bigger, and with a caboose as big as mine, that makes a huge difference. This is a well-used demo model though and it kinda tips to the left, but I think if I am gonna spring the bucks, I'm gonna do it on this style. My husband now has the Mirra chair for a week and as soon as he sat in that one he said, "Oh yuck...can I have that other one back now?"
I haven't talked to the rep guy yet..just got his voicemail, but when he shows up next week to take these chairs back I will most definitely ask that question for you, as I'd like to know the answer too!
Glad your friend enjoyed seeing piggy. Just WAIT until mud season (which hopefully is only a few more weeks away)...she will be out there all the time and in her absolute glory! Her favorite game is to tip over the water trough and make more mud...that's when you see me, all wild haired and disheveled, running out there to turn it upright and refill it with H20. It usually goes badly because she dumps it as it's filling and I can't do squatola about it. I may be big, but she's waaaay bigger and I think if we were to get into a fight, well, she'd win hooves down.
Heck yeah!
My daughter is a few months younger than Celine's son. She has her hair buzzed by her request. (I use the 3/4 inch buzzer guide.) She is tops of her class, very respectful, and loves to help out her teacher in class. She is well behaved, but she does pick on her little sisters sometimes like any kid. She's a really good kid. When we go to the nursing home to visit my husband (he's a nurse), the residents typically assume she's a boy because of her hair, which annoys her. Otherwise she is as girly as can be, much girlier than her mom with long hair!
I figure it's just hair--who cares as long as the child can handle the hair issues? Eventually there will be much bigger battles to be fought than the length of hair.
Go Celine!
HECK NO!! I can eat what i want, drink what i want
it's time to eat all the cheesburgers and milkshakes I want!!! I'm looking forward to old age :)
Can I guess, heck yes, I saw her
Yes, it is a her, not the him that is still waiting but she could not stop that horrible slobbering, crying crap. I appreciate the fact she can sing but do we now have to put up with all that stuff that goes along with it. I would rather have a low key as good a singer without all that drama. Oh, well, the judges' choice.
I bet you thought what the heck! ...nm

You have one heck of a memory...sm
I can't even remember what my screen name was! I do remember the story about mysterious rocks in the yard, though.  Some of those stories were hysterical. Glad to see you haven't lost your sense of humor. Remember how weird things turned during the guess-the-item/person contests?
