that they don't use peroxide much anymore. In certain cases they will use it to clean out a cyst cavity, but they mix it with saline in equal proportions.

You could see a plastic surgeon. Don't think it would be too

meant to put PS.....plastic surgeon - nm

My chiropractor said his plastic surgeon friends are losing their practices.
At least here in C.FL, plastic surgery is tanking!
My surgeon is in Lewisburg....
where in central PA are you?
Nope, general surgeon.
 Gross, isn't it?! Can't WAIT 'til cold season!
That appointment with the thoracic surgeon
came to a halt when I had what I thought was a gallbladder attack and no, the physician's office calls and says no problems there, however what about the hypoechoic cysts in your right kidney. A scan I had a year or so ago picked up polycystic kidney disease but now with that, first things first and trying to seek more information regarding that. I guess with my age things just start falling apart! One thing I have done today though was to go to foot doctor about what he called "syndrome" in both feet and he prescribed Lyrica and said possibly would help the overall pain all over the body but mostly the ribs. This is the first physician who has said maybe the rib pain associated with the fibro that I have. Thanks for asking!
An orthopedic surgeon told our group at a lecture sm
that it is not harmful to crack knuckles, etc., as it is just joint gas making a pocket that causes that noise. So crack away and enjoy!!
make appt w/your doctor or see vascular surgeon

Ancestry.Com Needs a Surgeon General's Addiction Warning Box
Is to get one of those Ancestry charts online where you put in each person in a family tree. You can then click on 2 people's names and see exactly how they're related to each other.
Give me a break. We are in medical records. I am not a trauma surgeon nor am I sm
an RN or even an LPN. I am on the administrative side for a reason. I originally went to college 3-1/2 years, to be a medical technologist (working in-house in a lab), and during those grueling 8:00 classes and labs all day, every day, I chose to get into the administrative part of medicine. So, you don't have to tell me about this being 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I know all about the 24-hour healthcare industry. I also did my intern at a 24-hour urgent care center, again, showing me that I DID NOT want to, nor could I, be available for someone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
I know it is a privelege to work for him and I work Saturday AND Sunday. Tell me, as a manager, do you work every weekend?
I did have one surgically removed from my wrist by a hand surgeon years ago.
He did a real good job and has never recurred. He showed it to me when he took it out and it basically just looked like a little balloon with a long skinny taiI. I had it done on a Friday and I believe by Monday I was back at work again and in a week or so had the stitches removed. The incision is not even a 1/2-inch long. I took pain pills for the day of surgery and probably the next day and that was it. Mine wasn't that large and was given the choice of leaving it alone or have it excised. I thought that I might as well take care of the problem when it was minor before it got much larger.
Wrist splints. I worked for a hand surgeon and started having the same problem and he put me in
wrist splints. I, of course, got a better quality one from his suppliers but you can still get them at any pharmacy or medical supply store.
Surgeon said he had large exuberant hemorrhoids! Are they wearing party hats?
My cat has a plastic
and Q-tip fetish. Even though I try my hardest to keep these things away from him, because he eats them, he still manages to find them. It's like he has radar or something. He also likes to lay in the bathroom sink. His name is also weird, so I guess it fits him. But I love him anyways.
I was on my way to being a plastic junkie
with this being 1 of several. I am really glad for mine, I do not care for my belly to extend down past my knees.. and I have had 2 face lifts, breast reduction, hmmm think that about does it but never ever sorry I had the tummy. More exercise and less sedentary work would take care of the rest of the weight, can do something about the exercise but the work? I would think most who have had the stomach done would totally agree with me. Sorry your friends did not work out but that is just what you do when you toss the coin with elective plastic surgery.
Me, too. My plastic plants die. nm

plastic popcorn
Hayseed, you are too funny! I totally forgot about those until seeing it here - used to have a tree, snowman, etc. Don't know what ever happened to them. Probably in my "want to impress" years threw them away. Thank heavens we all mature and get out of that stage - I'm much happier being the real me, corny stuff and all. I have a couple of friends who seem to have more money than Bill Gates and they are into frugal retro as well. Merry Christmas and happy popcorn hunting!!
this kitty has a plastic bag and Q-tip
obsession. He eats plastic bags (I know it's not good for him). No matter how hard I try to keep them away from him, he finds them. It's like he has radar. Luckily we haven't had any clogs in his system from it. As for the Q-tips. He digs those out of the bathroom trash and carries them around (gross I know) and them ultimately drowns them in his water bowl. He's somewhat of a freak too.
I remember those plastic decorations
being sold as fundraisers at our school. I think it was the Band Boosters. I'm in East Central Indiana, BTW.
Beatles. Paper or plastic?

Plastic. Shrek or the Three Stooges LOL.

You could put a plastic or aluminum "collar" around the -
trunk of the tree, maybe at about your chest-height. (So the cat can't jump over it.) He'd have to climb up to it, but if it's fairly wide, maybe 1-1/2 to 2 feet, he won't be able to get a grip on it and won't be able to climb any further. It won't hurt the tree, and you can then remove and store it once the babies have left the nest.
Plastic Cap to a Lysol Spray Can up the....
Yes indeedy, most amusing one I ever typed. I cannot imagine how or why one would insert the plastic cap to a can of Lysol spray up the rectum.
All kinds of possible scenarios came to mind, and I kept myself amused all through my shift contemplating them!
I've heard of tops and also heard it is a good group.
I have a small collection of these, too. The plastic glitter ones

I believe they just chew it. I learned when I purchased a plastic

When you fuse plastic grocery bags.
You have to be sure you are in an ventilated area because it has toxic fumes. I did mine outside because I have a plug in on the side of my house. You cannot get anymore ventilated that that. lol. I set my iron on 3 which is a medium setting, no steam and sandwich 1 bag folded twice (you need 8 layers) in between 2 pieces of regular typing/print paper. As I am ironing I just count to 20 or you can use a timer lol and then flip it over and iron the other side and count to 20. When you peal the paper off you will find that the plastic bag is stiff like paper and seems to be very durable. I cannot tear the things and I have tried. To me, it is the perfect liner for a car trash bag or even a bathroom trash bag. If one must use a plastic garbage bag for the kitchen (some garbage companies won't allow anything else but plastic bags) then maybe we can at least eliminate the amount we use.
Our cat loves feathers and plastic bags - sm
she licks the bags though (grocery bags/Wal-mart that type), weirdest thing, she does the same with feathers, like she is grooming it I guess. She loves to lay on paper too, no clue why. I don't get her too many toys as she does not really play with store bought toys, though loves those feather stick things. Have some of those toy mice but they end up disappearing. Likes the kids toy tents, boxes she can jump in, hiding under the coffee table that has a table cloth that completely covers it to the floor, likes to hid under anything and try and snag your ankle with a paw, definitely startles me sometimes. Loves her scratching post which is actual wood, not carpet, the only thing she scratches other than an exercise pad we put over a brick pad in our kitchen for a wood stove (so if the kids ever fell when they were little they would not hit the brick with their head at least), it is thick and squishy and the cat loves to knead it, makes a mess though if she does it too much. Will have to try the bread tie thing, bet she'd love that. She spends hours looking out the front window at the bird feeder and our hummingbird feeder too, and all the squirrels too. You can see the wheels turning when she is watching the birds and squirrels outside. Sleeps at my feet on the bed either in her cat bed if a cold night or just on top of the comforter. I call her a cat-dog as she has many dog characteristics which makes her the perfect cat to me (I am more of a dog person, but like cats too).
OFF spray for cats; also use mothballs in plastic baggie with sm
holes poked in the baggie with a fork. works for me!
I found them! Those funky 1970s plastic decorations
It was driving me absolutely nuts and I finally found out what they are called! Google or do a search on E-Bay for 'Melted plastic popcorn decorations' and see what you find! I'm gonna try and make a bid for one or two because after seeing that one in 'MT of Oz' picture there, I suddenly felt this NEED to have one again!
Thanks for reviving happy memories MT of Oz!! 
it is hard plastic, good suggestion, will give it a try, NM

Nope, insurance never covered any of my plastic surgeries but
I still had them- several- just like I would finance this also. This is definitely considered cosmetic unless used for the original eye problem it was intended for.
make sure you use a "metal" lice comb, not a plastic one as they don't work well. nm

They make paint for everything now...from metal to even outdoor plastic furniture...I am sure there

Chili peppers and little tiny plastic pinball toys.

Just heard
Very sad indeed.
Never heard of it until now....sm
it sounds like something you'd find in the south. I'm not sure if I like the sounds of it or not!
wow, never heard of it, but thanks!

I heard, so sad. I liked him.
yep, once heard it said that if you
expect nothing, you are never dissappointed, so I have learned to expect nothing, and in return, I am always surprised, which makes even the smallest of niceities someone does or says much more appreciated by me. We are to be happy givers, actually expected to give until it hurts, and not to expect anything in return, amen.
You have heard exactly what I have
over the years. I have heard so much of this I probably would swat my children out of their seats at the table if I ever heard these gross sounds. I also hate to hear yawning while dictating. Reminds me of the time I used to work outside my regular job and had a physician who was a terrible dictator in the hospital and at his office (this was a group of physicians, otherwise would not just have worked for him) and one day he dictated a letter to his bank about his account and you got it, every word was letter perfect, perfectly understandable. I think most dictators find the job of doing their reports not high on the totem pole. That is why we as transcriptionists have to put up with all this crap noise they send our way. Sneezes, snorts, eating, drawing on a cigarette (yes, years ago that 1 for me), coughing, smacking, chewing, and yes, that occasional bowel movement thing-- my mother would have killed me if I ever did this!! I learned well at her knee, still am very cognizant of others in a family/social setting.
You said if you really WANT to, well heard the
same subject on weight loss from my aunt. A lot of elderly people's appetites wane and now she talks about a person, all you have to do is push away from the table. Hmmm, sounds a lot like what you are saying. If you really want to. Ok, I am trying now- I want to be beautiful, thinner, rich, and so on and so on. Hey, I really want this so I guess it can come true, right? Like I said, lot of people just do not understand. Maybe she has a good friend somewhere that will understand.
From what I have heard,
they have great personalities. I believe that smaller dogs do need to go out more frequently for a longer period, but if you work at home, maybe this won't be such an issue.
That being said, any puppy takes a lot of time and attention, and if that is going to stress you out, say you have kids and a busy life, the puppy stage can be rough. Thank goodness puppies are soooo cute, LOL. My neighbors are working with a puppy, and unfortunately they got it at 6 weeks. They were really bleary-eyed there for a while, and thought we were really smart to get an adult dog.
Make sure you go to a good breeder. This is a good place to start:
http://www.bichon.org/breeders.htm
They are not more expensive than a "backyard" breeder who is out to make a buck. The less responsible breeders tend to give themselves away by using terms to make their line sound special, but usually mean they are outside the breed standard, or breeding for looks over health. Depending on breed, they may use words like "teacup" "giant," or even "hypoallergenic." Bichons may cause allergies for fewer people, but that doesn't help if you or a family member just happen to be allergic. So what out for such buzzwords designed to sell. A good breeder is going to have questions for you about how ready you are to take on a puppy of their breed, and they will also tell you that if at any time, for any reason, you need to get rid of the dog, call them - not a rescue, not a shelter. They will always take their dog back because they really care about the dog.
If you get one, we want to hear all the puppy (or dog) stories. :oD
Never heard of this...
but will go to Lowe's tomorrow and check it out. That might be something that works in conjunction with the other ideas.
you *heard*???? LOL.........
You *heard that AL Gore's documentary had no facts in it*? And I quote you on that.
Believe half of what you see and nothing of what you *hear* - go do your own research for crying out loud!!!
At least Gore CARES!!
Has anyone heard (sm)
how the poison got into the wheat? Last I heard it was a poison that is not used in this country. 
Just heard from my son
they are finally on the bus and on their way home. We live about 1 1/2 hours from Tech. There is where my son plans on going to college. He actucally told me he loved me on the phone.
I heard that
 on the local news - it is utterly unbelievable!
Um, TOM? Never heard of it.
No hits on my abbreviation site, either.
No, have not heard.
Don't remember the 1997 thing either. Well if it worked back then, I would give it a go, but I feel it is a lost battle. I hate the prices where they are. $2.77 for me at the Gas N Go in NJ. $35.00 just the other day to fill her up.
I heard that!
Also have 2 boys and 1 girl - she is the middle child and has been a challenge since she was a baby. Tonight is the PROM! OMG will I be glad when tonight is over! With my son, it was rent a tux, order the corsage take some pictures, have a good time, be careful with my new car.
With my daughter, it is shop for dresses, shop some more, pick one out, have the store hold it, forgot a 50% deposit, go pay in full, wait a month for them to press it, shoes, slip, find a belly button ring that doesn't show quite so much through the fabric of said dress, purse or no purse, order flower for boyfriend AND also corsage for daughter because boyfriend doesn't feel like ordering corsage and his mother won't do it for him, nails, hair, makeup, be careful with my car (boyfriend is 17 and does not have his license).
Did I mention I will be glad when tonight is over. Truly love her to death, but yikes! Talk about high maintenance.
