yup - back and CRAVING attention, as usual...n/m
Glad she got it back. Nm
:-)
I'm so glad they believed you and took it back! NM

Glad she got her jacket back.

I'm so glad they let her back in school!
Your poor daughter! I hope they don't change the rules on pepper spray. I think students should have a right to carry that to protect themselves! I don't see it as a weapon. It's not like a gun or a knife that could kill someone - it's just for self-defense, which teenage girls need, unfortunately. Good job fighting for your daughter and sticking up for her!
As far as the people who made the rude, ignorant comments to you, I don't think people like that even read entire posts, and if they do they don't comprehend them! It seems like some people just pick one thing out of a post and try to say you're wrong when it's obvious they don't even know what they're talking about. So annoying! Whoever said the rude things is probably someone who is lonely and ran out of real-life people to pick on (who would put up with them for long?), so they must try to irritate people online, so try not to let them bother you too much (even though it would probably bother me too if it was my post!)
All right, Cyndiee, glad that you are back.
But what can I say?
I hate drugs and medicaments and stay away from them as long as I can, maybe therefore I am so healthy and because I have good genes.
I admit there are diseases which necessitate medicaments, but there are also people who just swallow everything that comes into their hands, without questioning it. The doctors encourage them in doing so.
Sometimes I type reports (mostly AVR) where the doctors prescribe up to OVER 10 medicaments to a patient, this is just uncomprehendable to me when I think of all the possible side effects, interactions and the effect on the liver and kidneys, etc...I feel sick to my stomach. Can this really be good, in any way?
Generally I do not trust doctors much. They are all more or less quick-fixer, because that is actually what the patient expects from them, a 'quickfix'.
But if medicaments which offer a quickfix in the short run and feel good at the moment, are also good in the long run, is very questionable.
Doctors are here to prescribe medicaments and they are encouraged to do so by the pharmaceutical companies. The first to take drugs which are new to the market and released by the FDA for 'studies', are always the guinea pigs, we have seen this with HRT, antidepressants, especially Prozac etc...
I am fiercely anti-medicaments, as already said, the only medicament I trust is aspirin and I take also supplements, I believe in those.
Patients should ask the doctor when they get a medicament prescribed, 'Doctor, do I reallyy need this?'
I have great respect for surgeons, dentist and gynecologists who deliver babies, not so much for other things, like prescribing hormones and advice on menopause etc....
there is still a lot of 'guessing' and 'experimenting' going on.
Glad to see you back, Jan.
Glad you're back, even if a bit damaged! ;) nm

UUHHH, glad you are back Hayseed? LOL
you really have been missed!
U, ttoo, am glad to see you back,. I always wondered
that they sent you home with fever and so much pain.
Never hesitate to go to the ER when you are in severe pain and have fever.
Better safe than sorry.
Especially if one THINKS having a heart attack or stroke.
Because here 'time is of the essence.'

That brings back unpleasant memories. Glad that's over with. nm

I just got back from buying a sympathy card for my brother's MIL, glad I did now. nm

Hahahaha! You are really a witty lady...
Yes, it has gotten too deep for me also.
I just posted the innocent question:
What do you think about Europeans?
And it ended with 'cheese' and 'guns' and 'shooting'!
What happened to the honorable MT profession?
You can be happy that you are retired. I guess that the recession does not affect you much, or does it?
looool, what a witty comment!!! Sooo

Ella, I feel the same................nm
nm
Ella got the point (thank you!)
Yes, only within the last few years has being an MT been so volatile and I think there are few on the board anymore who can appreciate what I was saying. I did not have these sorts of problems five years ago or even expected anything like this. The uncertainty in today's environment is something this generation has never experienced and is unprepared to deal with. I keep thinking of that saying, *there but by the grace of God go I." The OP is not the only MT suffering and has my empathy.
Thank you, Ella, for clearly seeing the underlying message.
Come on, Ella, extremely attractive?. How and where?...nm
nm
Right, Ella, but nonetheless each people has
its characteristics.
Geez Ella, get a grip
She didn't say her husband was a monster, just that he would not let her give a permanent home to yet another dog. Maybe you'd trade your husband for a stray pit bull, but a lot of us wouldn't.
Your apology is accepted, Ella...sm
I've never had a person apologize on here to me. :)
no more than usual
I do not feel that it is any more noisy than any other room. My hubby and I have been on 5 cruises and we prefer the room closest to elevator because it is conventient. We have never felt this to be any noisier than any other room we've had. Have fun! We're going again in Jan to Jamaica.
no more than usual...............nm
me too, tho it went better than usual
re the difficulty getting lights off and tree actually out...
I have a friend who still had a tree up in mid feb last year -- thats wayyyy too long for me!
happy new year!
Well said, as usual! The kitten was most likely - sm
the product of a feral or unwanted domestic litter, too. Unwanted kittens, if not killed by animal predators or disease, often end up being the victims of human predators. Or, they end up eaten alive as snake food, or tortured long-term as a laboratory animal. This incident was one more good reason why mandatory spay-&-neuter laws should be in place everywhere.
The usual term is
selective nerve root block.
Can you hear that?
Otherwise, just see what you get with googling
nerve block, sciatica, selective.
Ella (retired) meant it 'sarcastic.', read her post....nm

Off today, but still working as I have my usual weekend -sm
work to do, goofed off the last 2 days so have to get it done today as it is due tomorrow morning! But I will b done in about 3 hours, then relax with a glass of wine and crash early as it is the first day of school for the kids and need to get up earlier than usual! It's my day off tomorrow so I will probably just lie about and relish the silence!
Going to my aunt & uncle's house as usual
My husband, my parents, and I all drive down to my aunt and uncle's house every year. We usually bring something like pumpkin and/or apple pie.
You misread my post. I was saying the usual dressing (since that is what they sm
call it down here) with added cranberries. I have never made it like that. I was saying that sounded yummy. I can't believe you got offended at this post. Unbelievable.
Then they can get right back on their tires and rafts and float on back to Cuba! nm

Back-to-back black swans that look like (sm)
a giant moustache. My MIL painted it for us and put our last name on it and my DH nailed it to an outside storage room door. It looks ridiculous, and when the kids have other kids over they always ask why we have a giant moustache on our door!
Hayseed was back a few weeks back
But we haven't heard from her since. I miss her too. I hope she's doing okay.
Glad everything is okay! nm

Wow...Glad your not my mom!
Life is way to short. I had a stepmother like you. Once I lost my mittens and it was freezing outside and I had to walk. This wench actually got in her car, found me on my way to school in a snow storm and took the mismtached pair that I had found in a box. She was an awful woman and I never saw her again after I was 16 and left the house. I hope she has as miserable a life now as she deserves. Don't be a petty witch with your children. They will resent you in the end, may be even slash your perfect tires....
Glad to help!
I never really watched Frasier. I know, my loss from what I hear. Sounds very funny! Will have to start watching the reruns :)
glad i'm not you
Well aren't you just a ray of sunshine and full of compassion. It's not always about the almighty dollar. You get what you give in life and that includes taking care of ALL of God's creatures. You have no heart.
Glad I did it
I never went to the ER (I have to be almost dead before I go), so I suffered about 4 episodes before I went to the doctor. I didn't know what it was. Each attack got worse. After the last one, which was horribly painful, I went to the doctor,and didn't hesitate to get surgery done. I had a "rock garden", the tech called it. It was PACKED with stones! I had to wait almost 2 months. I was so afraid to eat I lost 12 pounds in 2 weeks! No exercise either! THAT was easy! Having never been in a hospital before as a patient, nor even having had any kind of procedure, the anticipation of the surgery was MUCH worse than the procedure. But I was a healthy person with no previous surgeries. I had almost no pain after, and took it easy. I went back to work after 3 days. I don't know what the risk would be with your recent surgery. It's something to talk out FULLY with your doctor.
You'll make the right decision.
I am soo glad it's

I'm glad you did. (nm)

Glad to see you came out okay!
Was your dad in the picture, by the way? You said it depends a lot on the parent, which is true, but it seems you did well for yourself on your own without much help from your mom. I have always believed that kids are born with their own set personality and demeanor, and that the parents can help foster good kids and teach them right from wrong along the way. Seems you were born a good seed.
thanks - so glad someone could help -
this is the only thing I miss about an office setting - someone always knew answers when I didn't. Home Depot, here I come! I was going to build chicken wire cages around them, but it is chipmunks that won't help either.
I had them done and am glad I did...sm
In high school I had allergy testing done which showed I was allergic to dust and mold, and we were able to control my symptoms by making changes around the house to cut down on these (i.e. plastic mattress and pillow covers).
A few years ago I developed other allergic symptoms and had food testing done which revealed that I have 3 allergies to chemicals in foods, and once I eliminated those food sources the problems went immediately away.
Good luck to you. Not everyone who has allergies needs allergy shots, but if you do they should help you. Even my dog had allergy shots and they helped her significantly!
So glad for you - sm
It's so hard for the families to not hear anything for such long periods of time.
I completely understand.
Prayers for your nephew as well as all of our servicemen and women.
Glad I Could Help
I was channeling my 4 year old. LOL.
Glad I could help a bit.
It is definitely going to be longer than 2 weeks though. Not sure on the recovery time for a vaginal so I would ask your doctor. Hopefully, your situation can be resolved without it. Again, good luck.
I'm so glad you took her
and the vet did the right tests. I'm sure you'll both be feeling much better now.
Oh, me too, so glad to see others. (nm)

Glad to help :)
I joined one of those DVD clubs to start my collection. I mostly buy the movies I know I will watch over and over again.
There are only certain movies you can do that with and these are some of them for me.
Enjoy!
Glad you are doing well too! (sm)
I also have to remind myself I have it because I am fine. Sometimes I wish I didn't even know about it! I only got tested because I knew I was at risk. So you have had it about 8 years or so longer than me, and still doing great so that's really good!
I'm so glad she seems to be doing well
If she were in serious pain, she would let you know. You love her enough to do the right thing for her. So let her tell you when she is ready. Until then, treasure each moment with her.
Glad she's a little better
She'll definitely know when she's ready. I had posted before that I had lost my cat back in March. I'm still not over. Like one of the other posters, before she died, I think she had a stroke. She died at home. Just be there for her. On her last night I told her it was okay to go, and she must have listened because she died a few hours later.
