I just killed 1 the other night and I do not know if I was supposed to do something else to go along with that or do I have a jinx from now on?

spider
We have those here too...they make me run fast! My brother was FURIOUS when I killed one. He went into quite a lecture about how "harmless and good" they are to have around. Arrrggghhhh!
All of the above, plus killing a spider
plus Friday the 13th, plus putting shoes on a table, plus stepping on cracks in sidewalk, plus handing someone a pin! Um, just a lil' bit. LOL
spider veins
After two kids and long hours of standing on my feet in college working retail jobs, my have extensive spider veins on my feet and ankles, with some on my thighs and calves. Besides being unsightly, can these lead to poor circulation? Would treatment help or am I just doomed to have vascular disease

We had a spider like that take up residence outside
This was when I was homeschooling our son, so it was a great lesson in the cycle of life - as long as she stayed OUTSIDE!! 
if you are talking about spider angiomata...sm
If you are talking about spider angiomata, broken capillaries, I get them. I had one on the shoulder, one on the nose - zapped electronically in France in my 30s (pre-laser) - many many many moons ago and it worked! Today, with laser, can be done effortlessly though expensive, and not real painful at all....but have only had laser hair removal w/lasers (and that's multiple multiple sessions - who can afford that?) and works minimally unless you do the multiple sessions.....
Spider bite question sm
I've looked on the internet and found the brown recluse spider bite pictures and 2 or 3 match what I have on my legs. Have an appointment tomorrow for the doctor to look at it. My question is: Has anyone had a brown recluse bite? Does it hurt? Does it itch? Did you hot pack it until you were seen? I know-dumb questions but let me tell you, THE ITCH IS DRIVING ME NUTS! I swear, it itches to the point where I want to lance it myself-without pain meds. I'm trying Benadryl cream, Bacitracin, Neosporin cream, hot baths and now a heating pad. They only helps minimally. The one larger lesion has a real dark, dead looking area in the center with red and white around it-it sort of hurts along with the itch-and the other two areas are only red. What to do in the meantime until my appointment?
Possible spider bite update sm
And the diagnosis is (drum roll)----staph folliculitis. I had no idea at all it was so prevalent in this area and due to the fact that I have been on immunosuppressive therapy for years, the bacitracin just wasn't working. Came home with a bottle of Bactrim DS and triamcinolone cream for the itch. Good to know it wasn't a bite.
Supposedly killing a spider
brings bad luck.
Here's the spider that almost made me crap myself!
Wow, you know your spiders! It was indeed a garden spider...Argiope. Website does indeed say they are harmless but I don't believe that for a second! Fangs were as huge as my head they were!
I just went out and documented the whole fiasco as best as I could...therapy really. I found the spider and took a picture of "her." Apparently only the ladies get this big. As I was taking pictures, I found 3 more!!! That's 1 spider per square foot!! You can read about it here: http://www.perin.org/Residents/Ellie.html and just scroll down until you see "August 2007."
I'm gonna go type now because it makes me feel safe. Yep, 2 beers into me, nursing a third, and I'm hittin' the keys. Should be interesting.
What can be done about spider veins these days? Sm
For the record, I have quit crossing my legs, but it is too late.
What works? I know there are creams out there and I can get Avon from a friend who sells it. She says there is an Anew cream that they sell. Is this what to do? Or do I see a plastic surgeon?
Any suggestions welcome.
mlstoo, update on spider bite please. nm

HA! Same spider that made me fall down in public (sm)
One of my most embarassing moments!! I was in a busy public area with a park in the middle. I decided to cut through the park and walked right through a web of one of those and the spider was on my face!!! I fell onto the ground, freaking out, flailing like a madwoman. When I finally got up and realized what I had just done, I couldn't wait to get the heck out of there, but I kept shaking my clothes and brushing my hair, just in case!!
spider veins - take horsechestnut pills
proven to help vein integrity (I take it to keep the blood-brain barrier strong). Do not make a tea of it yourself - it is treated with something when they make supplements to take the toxicity out of it.
Another easy, cheap thing you can do is take large doses of vitamin C. At least 2000 mg/day. This also helps with vein integrity and also skin elasticity/suppleness as well.
Glad to hear that it was not a spider bite. I was concerned

I'm so happy it wasn't spider bite. Been concerned about you.

Think you had a large garden or orb-weaving spider there! Scary

The intake of vitamin K helps against spider veins. ..... sm
But be careful, do not take too much, only from food sources, yoghurt is a very good source of vitamin K.
There are creams which contain vitamin C.
If you want to take supplemental vitamin K in tablet form, first check with your doctor regarding the dosage.
I had some spider veins in my face, but those disappeared when I started to put vaseline in my face.
ASPIRIN will kill a dog
Please tell her to stop! She must be able to find a vet somewhere that will treat the dog and let her make payments!
And yes dogs most certainly have seizures.
ASPIRIN DOES NOT KILL A DOG
Worked for a vet, have a 16 year old dog on two aspirin a day. Works better than the expensive NSAID's. My dog had seizures also. Don't know why this has become so much more prominent lately but has. My dog is part chow/lab mix. She began with the seizures after being on prednisone -- I say that had something to do with it -- they do not. Very bad seizures. Age 6. Had her on medication - not phenobarb but something else that a dog neurologist said to put her on. She took it for almost a year - no seizures, slowly tapered her off of it and she did have little ones now and then -- 2 to 3 a year but over the past 7 years has not had one to my knowledge. She is 16 and quite healthy, except for being quite deaf, hip dysplasiad and arthritis and takes aspirin for it. I am sure her end is near but we still walk a mile a day and she chases her friend our cat every now and then. But her birthday is Valentine's Day -- was actually born on that day and she will be 16. Go on line and read about seizures. A neighbor has a chow that just had hsi first one -- age 4 to 5 also. So it is more common than one would expect. Good luck. Actually the visit to the dog neurologist was cheaper than my regular vet and he spent a lot of time with us. So it was well worth the money. Patti

Why oh why didn't they kill Ben
as soon as they saw him? They know that letting him talk ALWAYS ends badly. Killing him before he could set up another controlling scenario would have saved them a lot of grief.
How great that Ben's people have figured out Ben isn't such an infallible leader after all. I was really hoping the 3 were still alive when I heard the shots, even though I'd heard that a bunch of people were going to die. I was very proud of Hurley and Charlie. DH and I were joking that Charlie would write something about that parachute woman being BAD. Can't remember her name though.
Whose funeral do you think Jack went to? Didn't Kate look great with makeup?
It was a great show.

Yep, been there too. They don't work. They could kill you before someone sm
got there to help you. Over the years, I did get my education and now am basically the bread winner. Got my "own" house so I didn't have to leave and haul the kids anymore, but now i can't get him to leave! I have nowhere to go that he wouldn't know where i was nor the money to go on.
Actually these beagles won't kill the ...sm
rabbit or do anything to it. They will only trail it and let you know where it is and if you want to kill the rabbits you can do it but the dogs won't touch it. BUT my husband just does it for sport. He doesn't kill the rabbits either. He just gets a kick out of watching the dogs get all worked up trailing the rabbit and if you have never heard a beagle on a rabbit trail. They howl and sing like you would not believe. But I am happy to say the beagles won't kill. I told my husband do not kill any rabbits and bring them here. And he doesn't. It is just a hobby. No killing or mauling takes place. We are animal friendly. :)
If he is threatening to kill himself and
someone else, in our state anyway, they can take him and have him committed, ESPECIALLY since he told you he would use a gun to do it. That is called suicidal and homicidal ideation.
yes, they are a no-kill shelter - at least they said so! nm

Hold off on 911...
Nah, not elderly...yet. Just raised with good morals and my priorities are where they should be. I don't expect people to give me anything.
Doesn't matter if you spend $20 or $20,000. Again, you spend what you can afford. If 10,000 was under budget, great. You suggested everyone should give a minimum of $25 then your 60 guests x 25 = $1,500. You made a profit.
If the "bride and groom incurred a very big expense", that's their problem. Take a nice honeymoon? I wonder how many don't even HAVE a honeymoon. Why do you think you are entitled to a nice honeymoon?
You are missing the point. A gift is a GIFT. Whether it's money or an object, it is GIVEN to the bride and groom from their guests out of the goodness of their hearts.
People like myself do understand that the bride and groom or someone dished out some heavy duty dough for a wedding, and we sit there at the table and say "Can you imagine what they paid for this?" Then we laugh.
Guess I'm being too practical, but I'd rather take the money it cost for the traditional wedding and put it towards a house.
How's this for a new theory: you save until you have enough for the wedding AND honeymoon of your dreams. THEN you get married.
By the way, I do give money at a wedding, but I give what I can afford.
NOW you can call 911.
hold off if possible!
Had I known about flushes prior to my surgery in 2001, I would have done everything in my power to have avoided it. My digestive system is so out of whack since I don't have a gallbladder, it's terrible. I have done 5 flushes since this past May and have seen all kinds of stuff come out. I really believe they could have saved me. I just didn't know about them and of course the Dr.'s aren't going to tell you. All they say is that you don't really need it. Visit www.curezone.com and checkout the liver flush forum. That's where I learned about it. Good luck!
Hold out until you get a new job.
Sounds like a few companies..

Most women who kill their husbands SM
get life in prison without parole, whether they deserve it or not.
I usually take the woman's side in this, since I too was an abused wife, but her getting a lenient sentence due to her husband supposedly making her dress up in sexy outfits?
Outcome is debatable. I do always think if all abused wives murdered their husbands and I imagine many deserve it, the streets would be littered with dead husbands.

How horrible. The cowards always kill themselves
It infuriates me. Why don't these people just jump off a bridge instead of killing innocent people? He didn't even have the guts to face the consequences of his actions. So cowardly. I will be praying for the victims and their friends and family. I would bet money that the NRA will be having one of their rallies in Omaha in no time - they're always so sensitive about these things  I can't believe the murder rate in this country. It's sickening.
Now being a transcriptionist, we cannot kill our hands but
what works really well are switches. The kids are not abused, beaten, bruised but they sure do not like those. My ex told me you can make a mule mind with switches. I am amused when I read about the wonders of motherhood and then on here mothers posting about their troubles. To me it seems simple- to others it seems barbaric. I think you do not have to beat a child but you cannot let 1 get and keep the upper hand. This is what is happening now.
or - "The fall alone will probably kill ya!"

the "I'll kill myself" speech
Hello again! My dad did this too. Tried to run my mom off the road with his car by swerving in front of her car, threw all the christmas presents on the front lawn and cried like a baby!
I can get out my crystal ball for you....he will go back to his girlfriend. He obviously just prefers the food at your house. Hang in there!
how to kill a husband crush
If I were you I would seduce him basically as many days in a row until it took to put him in a coma and you may have to buy some perfume or outfits to accomplish this. Then I would fire the hair stylist, find a barber, feed him a lot of food, again until he was in some kind of a coma, then let the whole thing go.
He did say he wanted to hold off since my dog sm
is young, only 1-1/2 years old. I'm a wreck from trying to keep on eye on him as much as possible. Then, when I get comfortable after he hasn't had one for awhile, another one occurs. Just 3 weeks ago we had 15 inches of snowfall and I let him and our other dog out to potty. Well, I called them in and found the little guy in a snowbank and the ned of our lot shivering with the endings of a seizure. I ran outside in my barefeet and got him out of the snowbank and carried him in. It just tears me up to watch it. LOL--it probably IS worse on us than the poor poochies.
SHUT UP AND HOLD ON!

You need not to panic. The stock market is going to have highs and lows of varying degrees. If you bail out now you will have lost money, plus all the taxes you will pay. Hang on!!

WHAT? Children who kill animals grow up
to kill people, they are sociopoaths and have no conscious. I would lock them away for life.
no problem-prison inmates will kill him....
   
Also try local no-kill animal shelter
My sister's first dog was an AKC standard American Eskimo she got from a no-kill shelter. He was supposed to be a show dog, but wasn't *perfect*, so his original owner considered him a worthless mouth to feed and left him at the shelter. For my sister's family, he was a beautiful and loving pet for many years. You will pay for the necessary shots and probably to have your pet *fixed* as well as perhaps a bit of a mark-up to support the shelter, but you will have a healthy pet, and you will get the one you see.
My sister's current dog is an AKC Pomeranian she got from a Pomeranian rescue organization. Again, she got a beautiful and loving dog. His original owner had decided that he was just too much trouble. If I remember correctly, the rescue service had pictures of available pets on their Internet website. Again, there was a good-sized fee to cover having him checked out by a vet and *fixed* with again probably a bit of a mark-up to support the organization. She had to drive a ways downstate to get him - they would not just ship him.
My sister considered the fees reasonable. As she says, it's a reminder that this is a living creature whose life has value, not a toy to be played with for awhile and then discarded. I hope you will be as fortunate as my sister has been in whatever way you find your pet.
things that kill birds and their care
You have to be careful what is in the candles. I don't burn them with birds around. Self-cleaning ovens will also immediately kill birds, as will a Teflon-coated pan that overheats. Also be careful with home permanent solutions, room deodorizers, and DO NOT USE FEBREZE (yes, I am shouting because so many people use this and it is a KILLER for birds). Just be careful with any of these types of things. Birds are ultra sensative to inhalants. Better not to use them at all.
Regarding the eggs, if you remove them she will just lay more before she's had a proper rest and that will deplete her of calcium. While she's sitting on her eggs, her body is rebuiding for the next clutch. Try to find things that resemble the eggs in size and color, like marbles, beads, etc. Put them in place of the eggs. Don't let her see you doing this. Warm them in your hands first (NOT HOT) and sneak them in one at a time when she's not looking. She should sit on them and you can pitch the eggs. But let her sit until SHE abandons them so that she maintains proper calcium.
Also, if the eggs aren't fertile, there is no problem in letting her sit on them. Take them out and hold them up to a light, like a light bulb or a flashlight, and look into the egg. If you see red lines or a solid dark mass, you've got babies. If you see just space and yolk, you've got a dud. She can sit on duds and get her rest and you won't have to worry about babies. Not all eggs are duds, though. You have to look at each one. Date them lightly in PENCIL and then you can tell when you last looked and keep checking until you're sure they are duds.
Keep plenty of cuttlebone around for her calcium and sprinkle baby bird handfeeding formula on her food to give her extra supplements for the egg laying whether duds or not. It's good for her. Even if you don't want babies, her body needs to be replenished with this stuff to keep her healthy. This is a good treat anytime for a bird.
I'm sorry to hear about your experience with babies before. Many times the youngest die in the next because the larger ones get on top of them and they don't get the food. Finches are tricky. I'm crazy about them but they do need careful watching. Parrots are SO much easier to raise!!! Guess you don't want to suggest that to your kids, though LOL!!!
