and years of super bad headaches, the only thing that works for me is 4 ibuprofen and ice packs all over my head and neck. Then I lay down for 1/2 hour in a dark room and do not move.
A secret to holding the ice packs on my head is to wear a winter cap. Then I put the gel ice packs all around, forehead, temples, back of head, neck.
It really works.

Found out not many years ago
that my maternal grandparents were never legally married. No clue why.
I have long, thick hair. I found over the years that I get what I pay for. So now I pay around 55-60
,
My husband is 7.5 years younger. Been together almost 20 happy years...nm

My feelings; people shacking up together for years and years
and then all of a sudden deciding to get married don't need a thing, obviously. A shower should not even be given. I lived with my now husband a while (nowadays who doesn't!) before we married and I also had been married before years ago but he was not....so of course HIS mom wanted a shower. I told her absolutely not unless it was just the immediate family, his mom, sisters, etc, more like a celebration/get together. And so that's what we did. Showers are tacky, period. Unless it's a couple of young kids getting married straight out of the house and that doesn't happen much anymore.
Been with a man 13 years older, now with a man 4 years younger.
Younger is better, at least in my case ;)
Sorry, meant 75 cents. Still, that was years and years ago.

I studied to be a scopist years and years ago
Back in the early 1990s I took a course called Note reader Scopist. They read court reporter notes (those long skinny papers that looks like a cash receipt) and types them into documents. I had found the course through something called At Home Professions but just didn't finish it because it was too expensive for me. But I am familiar with them and even found my book from the first course I took. Looking back I think it would have been a blast if I had kept up with it.
It is definitely legitimate. A lot has changed since the early 90s, so I'm not too familiar with the industry now. I do remember what was really weird was it didn't take a lot for me to learn it. For instance I could look at a line of court notes and see something that looked like: NV p srn - and I seemed to know exactly what it said. Just weird. My DH used to say that I understood it because I was an alien and my ship crashed in Roswell. HA HA HA Anyway...that's what I know about it. But if you Google note reader scopist or at home professions i'm sure you could probably find a lot of info.
I have been vegetarian on/off for 35 years, was vegan for about 5 years sm
not that hard. Right now, I am having so many issues with food allergies and celiac disease, having to give up nightshade veggies...nothing left to eat. I am eating some meat now, but not when the gastroparesis sets in!
Being vegan is not hard...unless you are a celiac. This is how I figured out the celiac part because so many of the meat analogs and vegan packaged foods use gluten for the protein and I got really sick from it. I gave up all the premade things and the whole grains with gluten and I was fine.
There is vegan and then there is VE-GAN. By definition, vegans don't wear, use or consume anything that is derived of animals...no leather shoes, most shampoos and toothpastes are off the list, as are deodorants. No wool or silk. Anything with soap usually has animal byproducts. It is very involved and rather difficult to do.
Giving up meat, eggs and dairy is no big deal, except for cheese. You hear that ad about "comfort proteins" in a baby formula and there is such a thing. Mother's milk, be it human, cow, goat, whatever...contains a chemical that triggers the release of endorphins in the brain so that feeding feels good in more ways than one. The purpose of this is ensure that the nursed young want to nurse and thrive. Human milk has a lot of these, so does cow's milk and cow juice triggers the same reaction in the adult human brain. Cheese is concentrated milk and therefore these chemicals are also concentrated. As a result, cheese is an addictive substance. This is the hardest thing to give up when going vegan. Vegan cheese substitutes are nasty and they don't melt. If a dairy-free cheese melts, it contains casein, an animal protein and not vegan.
I studied this years and years and years ago
Most definitely is legitimate. In the late 1980s I studied to be a note reader scopist through a group called At Home Professions. I loved it, but unfortunately could not continue due to no funds. It was reading the court reporters notes which looked like a grocery receipt with a bunch of letters scattered on it. The weird thing was I found it extremely easy. For instance I would see a line that looked like: av e cr, and for some reason I would know what it said. My DH told me that's because I'm an alien and my ship landed in Roswell. HA HA. Well I know that a lot has changed, after all it's been over 20 years since I took the first course and know a lot of it is computerized now, but it is most definitely legitimate and I've heard people like to do it. I think I remember one of the courses was in medical terminology and another course was in legal terminology. Should be able to find a lot of it on google, or maybe go to your local college if they offer it and talk to an instructor.
As soon as I found out
I was really excited because we weren't planning on having a second child so as soon as I found out I told everyone. Thankfully all went well. I would think it would be up to the individual. My friend never told anyone until she was 5 months or so along because she had suffered a miscarriage earlier and was having some symptoms that she was worried about.
found these...
Nestle chocolate (like chocolate milk)
Neopolitan ice cream
nachos (don't know how much kiddies will like those though)
I never found out as a kid.
I guess I was really lucky, because no other kids ever told me about Santa and I never questioned it with my parents. I guess I knew at a certain age, but I don't recall what age it was (probably well into my teens).
My kids are 14, 10, and 8 and they all still believe. They tell me that some of their friends say Santa doesn't exist, but they don't believe their friends. My kids think it's sad that they don't believe in Santa.
I don't think kids need to be told about Santa. At some point they'll figure it out on their own, if not now then when they have their own kids!!!
I think we found it...
Thank you to all of you who shared some great ideas. As many of you I considered the baby monitors, however, I was trying to think of all the "what-if's" and was worried that if she fell going down the hall to the bathroom in the middle of the night, she might not be close enough to a monitor in a nearby room to make enough "noise" to get our attention, especially considering she is still somewhat short of breath following the surgery..might not have enough wind in her to be able to yell out for help. I did find what I think we need and am going to RadioShack tomorrow to check it out. It had some great reviews from people that have purchased it for much the same reason..to alert someone else in the house instead of a pricey call center..however, does still give her the cability of reaching 911 if we happen to not be home at the time. Thanks again for everyone who took the time to post a response. If the product below (I hope the link works) is not what we need we will look further into some of the other posts. And if anyone else out there finds themselves or a family member in the same situation (we will hope not), then this might be something to keep in mind.
Wish you all a very merry Christmas with your families.

I FOUND IT....Thanks for your help!!
I went back to Google and typed in toothpaste commercials. it took going through a couple pages, but I came across a Rembrandt toothpaste site and someone else mentioned the hot and steamy commercial. The song is *Waterfall* by Griffin House! Guess what I am buying this afternoon!
so thanks again for the suggestion. I never would have found it otherwise! yippee
this is what I found about
I googled posttubal ligation syndrome and found this info...hope it helps. I have heard some doctors refer to posttubal syndrome when talking about a patient's heavy menses after a TL...just something to think about. I wasn't aware of this when I had mine 8 years ago, but boy believe me, if I had known, there's no way I would have had it done...
A study in Britain followed 374 posttubal patients and found that 43% had subsequent
gynecological treatment for such conditions as heavy menstrual bleeding, menstrual
disturbances requiring hormonal treatments, cervical erosion, ovarian tumors, and
recanalization of the fallopian tubes requiring a second operation.
Another British study of tubal ligation found a 40% increase in menstrual blood loss;
26% of the group experienced increased menstrual pain. Women who had used the Pill
before their tubal ligation reported more of these complaints than other patients.
Re found Dad
You might want to contact him, if for no other reason than family medical history. It is important for all of us to know what kind of illnesses are in our family. For instance, I didn't know until 2 weeks ago that my grandfather had had bleeding ulcers when he was a young man and had to have part of his stomach removed. I found out when the doctor was asking me about family history of ulcers. My mother, all 3 of my brothers, and myself all have had problems with our stomachs with gastritis, reflux, etc. It seems that there is some kind of a hereditary issue; the doctor thinks maybe a hypergastric nerve or somekind of genetic thing. It's something to think about.
Found it!!! Thanks again :) nm

Found out that is exactly what I have, the
Bakelite, 2 braclets and 1 that is ?? Went on line and found out might also have a cameo ring from Mother that could possibly be the same thing. I have an old radio from my father and found that Bakelite used in older radios. Found a pearl pin with gold behind it that could also be worth $$$. The second Tuesday of each month is an antique sellers delight close by my home, loads of stuff including jewelry. I am going there this next time and ask for advice on the price of my items. I definitely will not include these in the community yard sale, figured they were worth something as I knew a little about the older jewelry. I will not sell to the people at the antique place before I get several appraisals. Thanks for all this, otherwise I might have made a BIG mistake!
Not that they have found but
the police, apparently from the bodily fluids they say they have gotten, show she is dead and also apparently showing large quantities of this medicine in the fluids. This is really interesting case.
Found it. Thanks so much for your help.

oh sorry, you already found it....
I jumped the gun - and you already found it - Gibran's On Love. I loved The Prophet back in the late 60s, early 70s.....especially on children...that begins something like this....but it's all I remember....(I can look this one up too) and made me a better parent in the 80s-90s...and right through today.......
Your children are not your children
They come through you, not from you.

I finally found this ghost in another urban legend that went around. The reference to the above message she was called the ghost of Sundarbans, but in another urban legend she is referred to as the Malay ghost. Knew I had seen her somewhere before - but I still believe I've seen her photo in some movie.

This has happened for years and years, where have you been?
Frank Sinatra, Elvis, the Beatles, and on and on. This person is acting very normal like the age she is. You would have to have been under a rock to think differently, like this was an abnormal behavior....
Lost my mom 23 years ago and dad 18 years ago.
My son was not even 1 when my mom died....she was only 50. My dad died at age 59. So even though I feel your pain....I would have been very grateful to have them into their 80's. I guess we take what we get and be thankful. Sometimes it is hard though.
I was married for 13 years and 2 years
after my divorce I met the most incredible man. He was also divorced, we both have 2 kids, and though we are not married, we have been together for 9 years. They are still out there, you may have to go through a few marginal ones before you find him, but they are out there and available.

I found some info. for you... sm
Seizures are scary to witness, but sometimes I think they're worse on us than the dogs (unless of course they're having a prolonged, life-threatening seizure).
With idiopathic epilepsy, I don't think the seizure causes them pain, and I seem to remember that a dog is more at risk of secondary injury (like falling and hitting their head, falling into a swimming pool, etc.) than from the actual seizure.
I had a dog with idiopathic epilepsy. She was a fiesty, gorgeous (okay, I'm biased!) dark red and white, blue-eyed Siberian Husky named "Cherokee." I loved her, adored her, and pretty much catered to her every whim (and created a bit of a monster in the process, but I was happy to get to take care of her and spoil her in her old age). She was funny, aloof, dignified, super smart, and, of course, mischievous. Hubby and I still miss her terribly, and we still talk about her hilarious antics. But I digress!
She was 10-11 years old when I adopted her, and I got to have her for 5 years. At first, she was only having a seizure about... twice a month. We worked her up and decided to hold off on meds since the seizures were fairly infrequent. But she pretty quickly started to have them more like... once a week, I think it was? If I remember correctly, my vet said if they are having more than a certain number of seizures a week/month, it's best to but them on meds, so we put her on phenobarbital at that time, twice a day.
The dose was a little too high at first, and it made her a little groggy and caused her to vomit. We lowered the dose a bit, and she was fine - never had another seizure again. Phenobarb is pretty inexpensive, but not w/o potential side effects to the liver. At Cherokee's age, we didn't really worry about that, but maybe that's the reason your vet is taking a "wait and see" approach? Your dog is young, so if she has to be on anti-seizure meds, it will likely be for the rest of her life. Not that I'm trying to discourage you from meds, just saying maybe your vet is thinking about the side effects as a reason to maybe hold off as long as possible.
I also have a Siberian Husky named Alexxa ("Alex" - sometimes pronouced "Owwhh-licks" ;o). She's now 15 years old. She started having seizures at about 1 year of age, but hers are very mild ("partial complex" I think they're called?) She only has one about every 3 months or so, and all that happens is her head has a little tremor to it. If you aren't looking right at her when it happens, you could be right next to her and not even know she's having a seizure. She doesn't even seem to be aware anything is happening. Vet said they might get worse over time, but they haven't, and she's never had to be on medicine for it.
Epilepsy is hereditary in some breeds, but it can happend in any breed or mixed breed of dog.
Here are a couple paragraphs from this site: http://www.asc-cockerspaniel.org/health/news03.asp
>>Epilepsy Treatment
If idiopathic epilepsy is diagnosed, a dog may be treated with anti-convulsant drugs such as phenobarbital or potassium (or sodium) bromide. Since neither of the drugs is without side effects, the veterinarian and owner might choose to wait until seizures become more frequent or prolonged before starting an epileptic dog on them.
Phenobarbital was more effective than bromide in eliminating and shortening the duration of seizures. Thus, for many dogs, phenobarbital may be the first choice for an anti-seizure medication. Though the study did not look at long-term effects of using either drug, phenobarbital can damage the liver with prolonged use. Also, phenobarbital more so than bromide interacts with many other drugs. For that reason, bromide might be a better first choice for older dogs or those on other drugs, Boothe says. >>
Sorry for the length of this. (I simply must take any opportunity to talk about my dogs. LOL)
THEY FOUND BEN OWNBY sm
don't know if any of you have been following the news. there was a 13 y/o boy missing since monday in missouri. not only did they find him today, but found another boy that had been missing for 4 1/2 years!!!!!!!!! (also from missouri). it's a miracle!!!!

Found my real Dad.
I was born in 1982 and was raised by my mom and FINALLY found my dad after years of searching. He lives in Houston. I don't want to just show up out of the blue and say dad, here I am. I have his address and phone number. Mom says that I shouldn't contact him, he walked out on her after I was born, but I want to know what he's like.
I guess he went to a lot of trouble to start a new life somewhere else, got remarried, had other kids. In all these years he hasn't made an effort to contact me, but I still want to meet him. I hear his wife doesn't want me around, but she can't stop me from seeing my dad. Still, I don't want to make any waves. What should I do.
Found help in magnesium-sm
Several sources - including an MD on the Today show - advocate taking 500-750 mg of magnesium just as you are ready to lie down. I have found it a lifesaver. I was sleeping in 2 hours snatches - now I sleep wonderfully. It is listed in several books on menopause. Benadryl leaves me feeling hung over.
No idea what they found in the car - sm
I presume pot, but who knows, theye did not elaborate. It was just kind of funny (ironic anyway); they were calling it the drug car. Well someone's butt is in a sling anyway; they don't fool around and that is how it should be. I find it nice to know (though it was a pain) that they do such a thorough investigation for employment at the public schools (criminal background check, you are fingerprinted and investigated; drug and alcohol tested; filled out a zillion forms or so it seems; complete and thorough physical too which as to be done every year).
Same problem here.....think I have found
I tried every nice smelly detergent out there and those without any scent but the other day, I overheard a lady in the detergent isle telling someone her sister recommended she use Arm and Hammer detergent, and that it was the best she had used for getting out smells. So I tried the A&H Essentials 2x concentrate. It has plant-based soaps, no dyes, no phosphoates, no bleaches, no pertroleum-based cleaner. I gave it a try and put color-safe bleach in with the towels (not regular bleach). They have smelled so fresh I couldn't believe the difference. My 21 year old even noticed his towels smelled better. It has worked for me!
I had the same thing and found out sm
I had gout. I had lost about `100 pounsa. So have your uric acid checked, just an idea.
Found this on the 'Net sm
Right click on the desktop, go to Properties. Go to the Settings tab, then the Advanced button and Video adapter tab. See if there's a "Rotation" setting. Some New video cards allow the display to be rotated to accommodate flat-panel monitors.
and another suggestion
Should your screen rotate on you try pushing: ctrl, alt, up arrow key. Push all 3 down at the same time.
So I'm behind I guess - they found her??
??
Aw, I'm glad you found each other.
I'm sure the cats will be working together, pinning you to the bed for naps in no time, LOL.
Just found the best cat treat EVER -- sm
it's called Kitty Kaviar-- but I think it should be called Kitty Krack, LOL
It is thin dried flakes of real tuna and my cats cannot get enough (and they are fairly finicky).
My male kitty is diabetic and with these treats he lets me test him and give him his shots without any fuss whatsoever.
I just found out I am a PA target.
I have been for years and just didn't know it. I knew I was the person everyone went to to feel better, and I would give everything I had (people pleaser). Most toxic people I have kicked out of my life, but it is hard when it is your sister. And it's hard to figure out you are a pushover. LOL!
found the site sm
Went to the site mentioned here, showed step by step, sounds wonderful, snug as a bug in a rug, may make one for myself!
