you would be more enlightened as to how dates and names are said, rather than complaining about them. Really not anything to get that irritated over.

Maybe doc needs to do a culture and......
have that determine which antibiotic or antifungal you may need. Good luck.
Have they ever done a sinus culture on you? sm
There's a possibility that they are giving you the wrong antibiotics or just not a long enough course. Also, it coud be a fungal infection, in which case you would not need an antibiotic, but an antifungal drug. Sometimes when the infection is long term or persistent, you need to be on medication longer than the usual 7-10 days. Good luck.
No culture, only it it does bust then we are to
take her to the hospital to get a culture. The thing is, this is the third time, each time a different diagnosis, and each time antibiotics took care of it. I honestly don't remember what the other antibiotics were.
Culture shock?...sm
Leaving a major metropoliatan area in Upstate NY and moving to seriously rural area in South Central KY was quite a culture shock....The entire road in front of our house was gravel up until a coupla years ago....finally got city water too! It's a very small town without even a stop light....just a K-8 school and post office. The boys begged me for 3 years to take them back to civilization. It took that long to assimilate.
I went to work 40 miles away and wiggled my way into MT after having worked in a large vasc surg ofc in NY. I've met a lotta nice folks over the years here from all walks of life and finally learned how to make a decent jam cake and cornbread (not sweet).  Cat
definitely normal kid culture reaction
Remembering standing outside waiting at the Brooklyn Fox for the following groups at one time or another way back when:
Little Anthony and the Imperials
Martha and the Vandellas
The Shirelles
Otis Redding
Little Stevie Wonder (he was 13)
Smokey Robinson and the Miracles
The Ruffin Brothers (David and.....cannot remember the other one's name at the moment)
The Thymes (later on)
before the British Invasion music which them some of us started appreciating......and going ape waiting for the Beatles at 54th Street at the Warwick Hotel, 500-1000 young girls on the 4 corners of that intersection mobbing taxicabs....*LOL* - those were the days....
There is still an *underground* rollerdisco culture that - sm
still exists. You can find it in San Francisco, Venice Beach in L.A., Mission Bay in San Diego, and Central Park in NY. And in parts of Europe it's still pretty huge. Especially London, with nighttime events and Sunday discos on Serpentine Dr. in Hyde Park. Definitely a *niche* kinda' sport, but it's fun and a major workout, as well. There is also *jam-skating*, done mostly at rinks, which is more of a hip-hop/breakdance style.
For me it began as inline-skating (which I still do), which led to conventional skates and disco skating, and eventally to ice skating.
There are 2 events going on in S.F. tonight: Roller disco on the waterfront, hopefully till about 1:00 AM, and a wild-n-wooly street skate through downdown S.F. - thru traffic, up and down hills, thru tunnels, etc., with wheeled boom-box musical accompaniment. It's not only great way to see the sights of our beautiful city, it's also a way to BE one of the sights, as well.
:D
So we should now ALSO be experts on every foreign culture?

They don't try to understand our culture, life isn't a

from the way I understood it--sm
it wasn't dog food that was sold to the farmers, it was the same chemical put into the pig and chicken food, as well as what was put into the dog and cat food. According to the Chinese, they have been doing this for years and it is an approved practice, over there. I am sure there is going to be other animal foods that have been tainted with this melamine stuff, too.
I am just as disgusted as you are!
understood...sm
but I do believe there are some dry foods on the list now, as well, and if I remember right it was through Dr.'s Foster & Smith, and involved some type of brown rice food, but I am not sure about that either, I just think there are some dry foods on the list now. I will have to check again later. It seems the list is growing every day and it scares me.
I did NOT blame his culture-reading problem?
I gave the freshest stats at the time this a.m. - that he was a 23 y/o Korean boy....
only thing i stated about Korea and their culture was that in the schools they teach antiamericanism and I'm not blaming the culture, I'M STATING A FACT.
Geesh........
I understood the comment, too
That's why I thought it was offensive.
Oh I didn't say I understood it!
I just figured it was the same argument my husband is always spewing...that beautiful people will always come out smelling like roses because they always have their looks to fall back on (beauty over brains, etc.) and America sure loves its beautiful people. Some people associate skinness with beauty, which is true in most of the cases, I just see more cases of the opposite where I am in this little world of ours ;-)
The way I understood it, the tax lady was.....sm
saying that she thought he was "slow" because he was black and blacks are not given the same opportunities as white people. I would be mad. She was more or less calling him dumb. I can't stand people who want to put down people of other races. God created all of us and Heaven is not going to be segregated!!!
That's something I've never understood either
As long as you remain "unborn" there's compassion aplenty but mess around and get born and you're on your own.
I've never really understood that
I mean I do in cases of working around machinery, etc., but I know a lot of guys who don't have to worry about getting their fingers caught and they still don't wear them. It's almost like they don't want to advertise that there married.
My husband was on the fence about this when we got married ("his daddy doesn't wear his"), but I told him it really meant a lot to me and for me it is a symbol of our marriage (and yes, a bit of a marker for any ladies who want to take a gander at my DH LOL) and now he doesn't even realize he has it on anymore.
I've never seen his dad wear his, but he is also a carpenter, so that may be why I guess.
Just a sad, sad day. Two pop culture icons die - Farrah and Michael Jackson.
I grew up with Michael Jackson. Used to watch the Jackson 5 cartoons in the 70s when I was a little kid. Then bought his first solo album, Off the Wall. Was watching the Apollo special when he moonwalked for the first time on stage. Bought Thriller as a teenager in the 80s and was just a huge, big-haired fan. It's like a part of my childhood just died.
And who can forget Farrah? I loved Charlie's Angels. Remember when she came back to acting after Charlie's Angels in the Burning Bed? Who knew she was more than just a sex symbol on a poster?!?!?! She fought such a courageous battle against her cancer.
as I understood it when my parents retired--sm
and were on social security, they could only earn a certain amount above that social security. anything over that, they had to file. they may also reduce ss benefits by the amount earned. I may be wrong, but that was how I understood it. My mom is 78, completely on ss, has no other income, and does not have to file income tax.
I never understood why people like camping.
Maybe it's because I've always been a working-poor hick and every day life is kinda sorta like camping...
If I could do it, I'd take luxury accomodations all the way, baby. Plush furniture, gourmet meals, never-ending hot showers, room service, and NO CHORES!
I couldn't even fathom wanting to scrounge around for firewood, finding potable water, pooping in the woods, swatting at bugs, worrying about what's gonna camp out in your sleeping bag with you...ugh! Call me a pussy, but that's just me!
i LOVE it!!!! i never understood why this wasn't
dancing is more visual. The Idol contest should be held over the radio, I think it would be more fair because I think everybody gets hung up on looks too much (lets vote for the cute one)
She sings awful anyway. I never understood
how she got that far in the first place. Scott either, for that matter. He's nowhere near the caliber of singer the rest are. But I'm glad she's gone -- she was so annoying. Was she wasted last night?!
I agree, I never understood the whole hoopla
about Angelina Jolie, same with Brad Pitt. When Jolie was younger, o.k., but now she looks really anemic and frail. I have always the urge to feed her.
I totally agree. I never understood how it
won so many awards. It was boring.
OK, Hayseed...explain how you understood this post please...sm
Cause I'm still lost on this one! 
American or Asian Indian? Culture difference might explain his odd behavior.
