Long arms, loose joints, narrow back.

In Reply to: How do you guys get your backs - ss

I'm sort of the opposite of that Tauranosaurus rex complaning of his short arms and big head, LOL.

There isn't a part of my back I can't reach with at least the back of my hand. Poor DH has a huge area he can't reach. Good thing I'm around for him.

Arms are not long enough

I have finally succumbed to the fact that yes I do need reading glasses as well as for distance.  I'm just at that age and have put it off long enough. 


My question is for those of you who wear glasses and have this same vision problem, do you have bifocals or two separate pairs of glasses, one for reading and one for distance?  I can't make up my mind which way to go with this.  Thanks!


Sounds quite narrow-minded to me.
Just asked my DD how many pregnant girls she knows of and she answered 0. I guess there could be some in the circles that she doesn't run in, because she really is a "Good Girl".
I had wondered if it was bec his joints are sore (sm)
That is interesting. He does seem arthritic these days but I thought it was just from him being so old. I had wondered if he was chewing his paw (the top of his paw, not the pad) because his joints hurt. I feel so bad for our poor pets who can't tell us what is wrong. I guess he will have to go to the vet (whether he likes it or not!)LOL
I have SI dysfunction when SI joints get out of line.

I worked for othopedic surgeons, and a physical therapist in our office showed me some exercises to do.  They help if you are accessible to a physical therapist to be shown the exercises.    Also doing physical exercises to strengthen the muscles in my back helps.  


Religious conviction is a narrow road for some.

And yes, I could type minus first joints of fingers. It

Even though I live on a small, narrow street in a - sm
small town, Google shows not only my front yard and street, it even shows my car parked on the street! Amazing! What I'd like to know is how they take all those photos? When my car is home, so am I (working, as usual), and looking out my window. So I'd like to know how they got the photo without me seeing them do it. (I'm not talking about the aerial satellite pictures, but the street-level views.)

It DOES come in handy! If I'm going to store I haven't been to before, I can scope it out on Google so I know what it looks like and I don't drive past it. I also sometimes use it to look for new bike paths in different towns. (Usually near parks and rivers).

There sure are a lot of fun ways to waste your time on the internet, aren't there?

Sore thumb joints from hitting space bar (sm)
They are sore on the opposite side of the thumb, not the underside that hits the space bar.  Does anyone know anything I can wear on my thumbs to prevent this from getting worse?  I'm afraid I'm giving myself arthritis in my thumbs!  Thanks
Straight into the arms of someone to
support me!!!!
cysts under arms....sm
Does anyone else ever get these cyst type things under your arms.  I have for years.  They are like little lumps or bumps under the skin.  They never come to a head or anything but will go away and then I will get them on the other side and in different spots.  I have read that your sweat glands can become clogged and cause hidradenitis.  Very annoying.  I have had them on and off for years come and go. 
and I could paint with my feet if I had no arms
the question is if I had a choice, I think I would choose to have arms.
If your choice was no arms or being put in strange
in how to survive in such surroundings, with predators all around, you would still rather have your arms?  Except with declawing, we are not taking whole legs, just a first joint of a digit.  Really cant compare this to no arms. 
Wouldn't exercise work just as well? My arms tone up
aa
When my arms no longer reached the keyboard, I was suspicious.
I then lapsed into a coma and didn't wake up until there was a strange person with spiked orange hair in my kitchen, demanding the keys to my car. It was either a burglar or my child - I don't know. They've never come back with the car, but that's not proof of anything so I haven't filed a police report yet.
if pits get loose
It isn't in a pitbulls nature to be mean to humans. Now they can be aggressive towards other dogs, but that too often is mistaken as people aggression, but these are far two different things. If you get on a pitbulls property they are very protective & if they don't know you then you may get bit, but that's with any dog. If they get loose they aren't going to go around the neighborhood looking for somebody to attack, in fact if they are loose roaming around they are more scared of you then you are of them. Took us 3hrs to get a full-grown pitbull off the side of the road. Read his story here: http://www.dogster.com/dogs/600278
What if they accidentally got loose?
I know sometimes it is beyond your control and dogs get out. A board on your fence can break, the chain can break, whatever it may be. What if the pit got out and killed something or someone? That is what scares me about these dogs. If you are keeping it contained, good for you, but if it gets out and kills someone or something, you are responsible.
I am just about the loose my mind with these people.

used to just be the nextdoor neighbors, they are so trashy...same things, dogs..trash, beer bottles, heavy metal music, the mom screams and cusses and beats her kids right out in the front yard...all of it...they party in their garage...then the back looks like a desert of dog poop...(lived here for 2 years..) then last summer a new family moves in, they are just as big of drunks..now they all party together. well lastnight, we had it out, and I know i went overboard playing into their Jerry Springer conversations..but geeze, I am so angry and have decided to reclaim my space...lol


Octuplet mom has a few screws loose..
and really needs some psychiatric help. I read an article in one of the papers that her mother tried to get her some help regarding her obsession with babies. How sad for these poor children. I am quite sure the mother of these babies is looking for a reality show and some free goods and endorsements for her "miracle". The facility that implanted that many embryos in her should be closed down and she needs to sterilized.
That woman has a screw loose. And after the way - (sm)
she treated you (demanding money, banging on your door, saying you're 'rude', and then demanding to borrow a CD from you, I wouldn't even let her in the house again, let alone give her a CD. If you give her the CD, you'll never see it again, guaranteed. I'd tell her to get lost.


People who type loose when they mean lose. (nm)

do you have any loose neighbor kids running around?
lol.... never know...  my neighbors little boy last year took his crayola scissors to my hosta's.....geeze
It was the OWNERS' fault for allowing the dog to run loose.
The fact that you didn't see him and ran over him was an accident. That accident wouldn't have occurred if those people had been responsible dog owners and kept him in a securely fenced yard.
you won't loose your cool if you state the facts
just as you did.  I have found in my life that everyone has to listen to me and take me seriously if I use no profanity what so ever (and don't yell).  Of course you should be upset, your child was assaulted by a bully.  I'd be all over that like white on rice!!!  Call her up, make her feel lousy for raising such a brute of a daughter.  Praise your child for being so wonderful.  Unfortunately, all we can tell our little ones is that the world is full of mean, angry others and we are so blessed to not have to behave that way.  Count your blessings for your sweet son, just love him and hug him all that much more.
Hubby thinks the animal has a loose screw
as he hisses and runs during the day but yet sometimes late of a night the cat will go to him, sniff around him and, although reserved still, is not the cat in the terrible 2s like during the day. My hubby thinks he has a mental problem (not my hubby, of course, but the cat!)
cardio is going to make you loose weight and slim down, weights
are going to give you more of a defined muscle tone. you still need the cardio to get your hr up, then do the weights immediately after while your hr is up, will work faster.
Oops..you actually need to surround the key in a blob of the silicone so it doesn't work loose.

Depends if it is long with pregnant pause um no. If it is long and juicy like an op YEP! Short ones

short arms, short-term memory loss...
I too suffer from Short Arm Syndrome. Add to that the short-term memory loss that middle-age brings and I have now discovered I need to lasso the &*%$ reading glasses around my neck or my day will be spent wandering in circles asking the dog where my glasses are.

I have two pairs, per advice of doctor. I do not wear glasses all the time, so he thought I was not ready for bifocals. My son gave me a wonderful eyeglass case for Christmas that is big enough to hold both pairs should I ever venture out of the house amongst the living.

I did manage to find some "sporty" looking around-the-neck-eye glass holder thingies - what DO you call those things? I'd use twine before getting those multicolored beaded ones. I have a neon coral one and an emerald green one. Too bad I can't find the former, I can't remember where I put it.
How long is too long to wait for Pap results?
This is a follow up Pap for an abnormal one a few months back.  I have waited for the results for over a month and have called the office once.  Any advised about being a patient patient - LOL.  Its hard when your in this business, I think anyway, not to be more aggressive about stuff like this.
Then they can get right back on their tires and rafts and float on back to Cuba! nm

Nice loose cotton or cotton blend gown
and NO PANTIES!!!!!!!   
sweat pants or loose light cotten pants - sm
sometimes put on makeup but usually just brush hair and pull it back and get to work!
Back-to-back black swans that look like (sm)
a giant moustache. My MIL painted it for us and put our last name on it and my DH nailed it to an outside storage room door. It looks ridiculous, and when the kids have other kids over they always ask why we have a giant moustache on our door!
Hayseed was back a few weeks back
But we haven't heard from her since. I miss her too. I hope she's doing okay.
How long?
Crap, havent heard- 1 hour this week or 2 like last week? Thanks
as long as a dog
is in its carrying bag, he is in his space, not yours.  Some dogs are sooo tiny, it is not even noticeable.  I know of people who use doggie strollers for such places. Frankly, I am leery of people who have this kind of attitude. 
I don't know what took me so long.
You can actucally understand the words and there is a definite meaning to the song. Although, when I put country on my hubby and kids say "my ears are bleeding". Oh well, I work for an ENT, I can help them out. LOL
Wonder how long this goes on. nm
:
In the long run they say it's the same or
possibly cheaper to sod. But yes, the initial cost is a little scary compared to the first treatment with seed. But seeding can be never-ending, especially if you don't water enough. We should have done this in the fall, but that's when our dog was so ill.
But not for long

The poster below really gave some good advice.  The behavior she describes is "him" to a T.  I actually had almost forgotten about him until the Lacy Peterson story came out.  Scott Peterson looked so much like him it creeped me out. Good luck.


Thank you so much - it's gone on so long (sm)
What are the traits of a passive-aggressive person?
I do believe my weight is a symptom of my marriage. It all started right from the beginning - I was fairly attractive back then and got asked out by men all the time. Yet right after I got married, there was this weekly lunch with his coworkers where all the guys and their wives/girlfriends met for lunch - he told me that I could not go because, "I'm not exactly proud of you." I don't know why I stayed at that point - there were no children involved yet - but I just felt like I had to try to make it work.
how long has it been
that she has cancer?  She is probably trying to give you comfort as you give her.  She is a sweetie. 
so, how long did it take and
does he have to continue the medication to keep away the urge?
I went through this myself not too long ago -sm
Definitely keep up the salt water gargles.  I used warm water with mine.  Something that gave me nearly instant relief was Chloraseptic Spray.  Hope you feel better soon!! 
How long does it normally take to get
labs processed?  Dr's office took lots of blood this morning to check everything, glucose, lipids, etc and said she'd call as soon as the results come in.  What's a "reasonable" amount of time to wait?
How long have you had the cat?
xx
this is long
I went through this with my son, who is now 24 and drug free. Take your daughter to therapy, and anything else you feel necessary, if for no other reason than to assure yourself you have done everything you can. Try getting together with the parents of some of her "friends," (she doesn't have to know you do) and just try to keep one step ahead of her. I used to look around my son's room to see what I could find, any pot - I threw it away. You just have to keep telling her, you are not the enemy, you are on her side. It is very hard to go through, I know, but they do come out the other end and you have your child back.
How long has this been going on?
How long has your mother had this type of behavior. It sounds like these symptoms; inappropriate behavior, saying things without thinking about them first, might be a signal she has some sort of neurologic problem or the onset of a form of dementia going on. You might notice if your mother has been forgetting things lately, seems detached. If this is not her regular personality, and this is something new for her, then I would gently talk with her and ask her if she is worried, under pressure, or sees anything wrong with how she acts. She might have to see her doctor. My mother exhibited these signs and symptoms around age 60, and then later was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. However, if her memory is good, she is coping with daily life and is able to handle things on her own, she needs a wakeup call. Her behavior in front of your daughter is inappropriate.
ALL OF THE ABOVE...sry a bit long lol
My children and I have been "cleaning toys" if you will and weeding out clothes to give away on freecycle. We put 3 bags of toys and 1 bag of clothes out there and they went to a very deserving grandma and grandpa who just took in their 4 & 6 year old grandsons. I am trying to teach my boys that it is not all about the gifts you receive, they are 3 & 9 so it is a bit hard to do with all the commercials and my 3yo wanting every last thing he sees. I let them decorate the tree after I put the lights on and they have a blast. We celebrate the birth of Jesus and attend church. First on Christmas morning we discuss the meaning of Christmas and the birth of Jesus and they enjoy going through our boooks we have about that as well.
