I am hoping some of you who were unfortuante enough to have to deal with severe water in your homes can give me some ideas.

We had a flood in our basement a few years ago.  Everything was up off the floor.  Our basement is generally dry.  However, when I was cleaning a week ago I came across a box of pictures that I had no idea were left down there.  They had gotten stuck together.  I have tried putting them in a food dehydrator, using silicone packets in the box, but so far nothing has helped.  These were mostly baby pictures of our adopted daughter so it is especially heartbreaking for me. 

Does anyone have any ideas how I can get these dried out and apart?  I'll try anything.  The negatives are long gone.

These are really, really funny!

I'd love to see all the little details on them...must be just amazing to look at.  I sure do love sparkly things! 

I think I've seen replicas for sale, like on QVC or even E-Bay if you ever wanted to start collecting.  Have no clue how much even fake stuff would go for.  Even if they're just covered in crystals, I'll bet they're still expensive.  I've always wanted to collect those silly little crystal animals and things you see in Hallmark stores.  Oh the way they catch those lights!  I visited a Swarovsky crystal place in some mall once and I was just mesmorized....oh the sparklies! 

Has anyone recently changed 35 mm slides into pictures? Do you know who can do it?  I just found loads of slides from my honeymoon 28 years ago.  I forgot my husband and I used to take slides. 

TIA

$300,000? I just heard where certain magazines might pay this price. Whatca think about this? Lets see, this baby is Tripp- then there is Trig, Trap, all those cutesy names.

got hers actually at WalMart.  It was around $100 and very pretty with her birth stone and she wears it every day.  Might not after she graduates, but that's up to her.  Younger DS probably won't want one either, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

I did get the brochures from the jewelry stores at the mall, but they were unbelievably expensive.

For crying out loud, you should be MUCH more ready to forgive him his abusive language and "disrespect" if he was on drugs.  Good grief.  It sounds like you expect everybody to be perfect except you. 

If he is clean now, he would probably be ashamed of how he acted.  How many years have you let this rift go on, anyway? 

thing.  If your daughter does leave home, you MUST report her as a runaway to protect yourself. 

You didn't mention, but are there other children in the home?  If so, this is definitely something to take into consideration.  If they are and they are being exposed to the constant "turmoil" this can be perceived in the eyes of social services as a form of "abuse" so you'd need to tread carefully.

Right now, take the emotional part out of it, take back control and know that a couple of years from now you will (hopefully) look back at this time and you and your daughter will have a few laughs.  I remember when we hit that point and I just smiled silently thinking "I remember someone told ME back then I'd make it through this."  You CAN handle this!

I had some nice responses when I posted last week about having a really nasty UTI and being in excruciating pain.  I had a fever despite analgesics, pelvic pain and generalized agony.  They did a KUB and 2 CAT scans, with and without contrast.  I got the results yesterday.  I have at least one kidney stone.  They think I may have passed more.  I will NEVER go back to that NP again.  My PCP has a NP, PA and himself.  The PA is fantastic and my doc is wonderful.  I can't believe they made me wait all weekend for the results when I had a stone, and let me suffer in pain.  A few Vicodin may have helped.  Also, the NP had told me I'd be feeling better in a day.  I got progressively worse over 3 days.  Now, I am finally starting to feel back to normal but there is still a 2 mm (small) stone lodged in my kidney.  I just wonder if it is going to cause problems if and when it goes on the move.  I was afraid to go to the ER for 2 reasons:  1.  I didn't want them to think I was there for a wimpy reason.  2.  They have so many people who go in there seeking narcotics, even though I never have, I was afraid they'd treat me like I was one of those.

Again, thanks to all that cared!

i have typed radiology for about 6 years now.  i use to work inhouse, but about 2 years ago i decided to work from home, thinking i could make more money.  well, i was hired to type radiology, but naturally i did not start off doing that, they had me typing clinical notes.  then finally they put me on a radiology account, but that had very little work.  in the mean time, they were waiting for this new radiology account to get up and running and told me how great and easy it was and all that stuff!!! i ws sooo excited about this account, thinking YES!!! i can finally make some real money.  well, here it is a year later and this is one of the most difficult accounts and i am not sure what the problem is.  the doctors are not difficult to understand, i have macros and all of that good stuff, but i tell ya what....it is all i can do to get in 1000 lines, which is pretty pathetic being that i am use to getting in alot more lines than that.  i do not believe it is me, but rather this account. 

so i am not sure if i should look for a different job, and if so i really am not sure who i should look at.  but like i said i have only worked from my home for about 2 years, and 4 years in house and would appreciate any advise from all of the vets that are out there, or anyone else with some good advise.  i do not like being mislead, and being told an account is "CAKE", when actually the turn over of mt's on this account is great.
