Maybe FOREVER! That's encouraging. Don't want HRT and physician

In Reply to: maybe 4ever......my GYN said so......sm - gyn has an 80 y/o calling complaining of same
said long term HRT is a thing of the past, which I didn't know. Now, they only give them for 3-6 months. Mine went away for a couple of months, but back again, 15-20 a day, but no night sweats. I thought this stuff only lasted a year or so.

That is encouraging
I am having a hard time fitting in fruits and vegetables and eating more popcorn, there frozen meals, etc. I am afraid that the lack of eating the fresh fruits and veggies will keep me from losing. I will Google that 3fatchicks. Thanks!
That was encouraging. Thanks.

from all of us hefties, thanks for encouraging.
I know you are right. I used to have such self-discipline, but maybe not anymore. One thing about that calorieking too, is that you can try it for a week and get you money back if you don't like it. It seems closer to the 'no fad' 'plus exercise' ideas. If you don't mind my asking, how long did it take you to lose 11 lbs? I want to pattern myself some realistic goals. thanks.
Thanks for the encouraging word.
Sasha is at the oncologist right now, getting a dose of chemo for lymphoma. The biggest worry was that her calcium was up at 18, but they got it down where they could give her the chemo.
Hopefully she will respond well.
Cedric is so depressed about her being away that he wouldn't eat this morning. He got up on my bed and tried to wrestle with me.
Encouraging Thoughts Here
The police called Social Services because they had to. However, your response to Social Services is what will either end it or have it drag on.
You've done nothing wrong. Try to keep remembering that, but remember it from a position of confidence, not defensiveness.
Also, you will have to follow up on every time your husband has violated the restraining order.
Quiet calm confidence will see you through this. And a clean house, LOL! Best wishes!
Thank you for your encouraging and kind words! :-)
They truly helped. 
Thank you for the kind and encouraging posts.
I really do feel a lot better. And the mail box thing? Gulp.................... I never thought of that. I do actually put the cards in the mail boxes. You are so right that I should not do that, but it never dawned on me til a poster mentioned it. The little gifts are in gift bags and I hang them on the outside of the mail boxes or lamp posts at the end of the driveways, so at least I'm safe on that one. And thanks for the poster who suggested a nursing home next year. You are so right - my kids actually do that once a month, and they went caroling at a few this year. I used to go, too, but got super upset by it. I'd like to take them all home with me. But you're so right and I definitely will do that the next holiday - which one do I have to look forward to? Valentine's Day? Take care, you all. As for the negative posters, I guess they represent that there are always a few in every neighborhood who are ugly in spirit. I'm fine with that as well. I feel sorry for them and hope their issues change so they can be happy. Must be a joy to live with, but then again, they might be very nice in person - just the internet anonymity. I'll choose to believe that theory. Merry Christmas everyone!

This is an amazingly encouraging very short video (sm)

Did that, seeing the physician, that is
and was told the symptoms of detached retina, should I ever have these, were sudden flashes of bright lights and then to get to emergency room or physician ASAP. Floaters, I know, are quite a normal thing in older patients but my question was if anyone had ever had any kind of treatment for these. I have been to a physician, told them what I was having (as have typed on them for years) and not given any kind of treatment for them, just wondering if any others were suggested treatment for them. Thanks
Have you tried asking the physician
your husband is seeing for his disease? Is there a large hospital in your area that may be you could call and ask if there is anything offered online either directly through them or they could suggest a site? I wonder if you Google the rare disease you might find some sites. I think you are right though to gain support online since it is the wave of the future.
I had it done once by a physician, but
was told insurance would not cover them as it was considered cosmetic. I had some on my neck and told them with my collar rubbing them they bled. They took scissors and snipped them off and guess what? I have done them since that time myself. No anesthesia, no antibiotic so figured what the heck, sterilize with alcohol and snip away.
I told the physician
I had them, have typed on this so long knew what they were and sure enough, have. What I am asking is there anyone out there who has had any sort of treatment for them or is this just a bothersome thing that continues. TIA
He has talked with his physician,
I could talk with his physician, have absolutely no issue there, not afraid to discuss nor shamed to discuss any issue with sexual impotency or others. No family physician here for me but that same would apply as above if I had one. Like earlier, love him dearly as he does me. He in fact was telling me earlier (started tearing up just saying it) how much he loved me and would do anything in the world for me. All together now, big ahhhhhhhhhhh.
physician call
I wish you the best of luck and prayers go with you. If it were me, I would also seek a second opinion before undergoing invasive procedure and check for best possible surgeon if needed.
Wish we could keep them forever. SM
My cat Dante only lived 11 years. I believe he had multiple strokes, but vets could find nothing definite. In the last 3 months of his life, he cried loudly all night, had staring spells. But in the last month of his life he seemed to want to squeeze into tight spaces, between bookcase and wall, and one night he jumped up on the kitchen counter and then down behind the fridge. My bedroom was behind that wall and I heard him jump down, and my daughter and I got up and pulled the fridge out, I brought him to my bed. My younger daughter took him to her vet, but still no diagnosis. He just faded away one long Saturday afternoon, wrapped in a baby blanket in my daughter's arms. He was my "little man," and came to work in my office faithfully every day. I will say a prayer for you Hayseed, I know you are sick at heart. (Hugs)
Wise
Saw this on TV forever and it said
You would not be able to get a good signal WITHOUT getting a converter box. They said antenna would NOT work, no rabbit ears, nothing besides the converter box OR having something like cable or DSL. This was playing on and on and on for months. Did you not see?
Just back from the physician, told him this would be a
very quick visit, did not want the Synthroid any more and asked for and got the Armour instead. Told him since first diagnosed no difference in any symptoms except none of the intense itching like at first, still weight, dry skin, hair and so on and so forth. I will definitely pay Sallys a visit and get what you are talking about. I believe in trying what others have used and believe in. Thanks!
If the original physician is her family
doctor they will find out because they always ask for medical records.
Days since forever
My grandma watched, my mom watched, I think I watched in the womb. I was hooked by 6th grade and I still watch when I can get away from the computer, I try to at least catch the last 20 minutes to keep up. Sami and Lucas have been almost married so many times, it is boring. I love that they brought back Steve and Kayla, some of my faves from back in the day!!
"Stupid" isn't forever
the same as "intelligent" isn't forever.
Go in before Monday and buy the Forever
stamp, you buy it at the current rate and it is good no matter what the postage goes up to.
Only if you have Forever stamps....look on

Family does last forever and it's not
about whether you do something that upsets your child. It's the fact that you prioritze a non-family member's feelings over your own daughter's. As for the girl throwing herself at the boy, the boy obviously caught her and should have had enough decency not to be caught under the covers with her in a house he is being permitted to stay in. It works both ways.
This isn't about being a parent or a friend. It's about choosing your own daughter over a non-family member. I personally would not have left the 18-yo boy live in my house with my 16-yo daughter, regardless of the daughter's BF. I agree with the other poster that stated it's just too much temptation, even if they do supposedly act like brother/sister. I have a feeling this is just the beginning of the problems you will have to endure.
No, but it was free for me; a gift from a very generous physician. Oh, and (sm)
it was douched with holy water and blessed by the Pope.
My physician never brought up about hysterectomy, I told him
I wanted to see about this but this situation different. I had ongoing bleding that could not be controlled and then another person in medical field told me how their friend almost hemorrhaged and not being able to stop the bleeding in the nighttime. I immediately called my physician and asked for a hysterectomy. So glad I did. This was in 1986 and loads of typing then on AIDS patients and how blood could be responsible. I did not want a transfusion at that particular time. My view only. No problem with the surgery at all. Now there are other means of controlling but past childbearing, saw no reason to just have the periods.
The physician errors too numerous to count
I wish I knew why people don’t listen- could probably make millions if I found out. I went to have CT scan done 1 day - before having it done I said now that is for so and so- nope, that is not what the order read- read for another part of the body. I then asked them to call the doctors office to verify the part to be xrayed. I cannot help these igits that work out here now. I changed my regular physician because of poor doctoring. I NEVER EVER SAID anything about soft stools. Where he got that from who in the he.... knows? I said she was THROWING UP. Thank goodness not huge mistake there as I did not give her the Imodium but 2 times, otherwise she would have the runs from each end.
I worked for a physician doing overflow work,
made less than $600 for last year, so they did not send me a 1099 because if you make under $600 you do not have to report it and neither do they, so therefore I did not have to claim the small amount I made from them.
Since this is a serious health issue, may be best to speak with the physician...sm
taking care of your in-law. None of us that patient's physician, and warfarin and the medical conditions it treats can be very tricky and dangerous. The best advice may come from the poster whose husband is on the same medication, not from Google. I am not bashing anyone or saying people don't know what they are talking about. We are intelligent people who do have vast medical knowledge, but this type of question really should be handled by the particular patient's doctor, the one who knows all of the history, any food allergies or reactions, etc.
You most definitely should speak to someone if you will even be remotely involved in the patient's care when she returns home. Someone needs to have an objective insight, and sometimes when a family member is sick, the ones closest to them do not understand all the instructions and such, especially someone who sounds really ill. Your knowledge could be very valuable to them.
Don't be afraid to ask the doctors and nurses anything. That is what they are there for. They treated this patient, and they have the responsibilty to make sure the patient gets the best care possible at home to help with recovery. Our thoughts will be with you, and let us know how she is doing.
Well, if I am it is unintentional - I know they won't live forever (sm)
and I don't want to have regrets. I know one day if I have grandchildren I will want them to spend time with me. But I think I would be hurt to know they were crying not to spend time with me, and I would think if I knew that, I would try to spend time with them in other ways until they were happy and comfortable being with me. I have many friends whose children bounce up and down with joy over going to stay with their grandparents and I would love for it to be that way with mine.
Diamonds are Forever song
Thought you all might want to listen to the whole song that plays on the Diamonds are Forever ad.
Name of the artist is Landon Pigg. Name of the song is "Falling in Love in a Coffee Shop" or "Coffee Shop".
Style, voice, melody remind me of Harry Nilsson.
Song will play once page loads.
Enjoy.

That's not a bad idea. he's forever putting
a few $$ here and a few $$ there in his gas tank and he has a steady girlfriend. Maybe a gift card to the movie theatre too! TY!
Good heavens, it's been forever, but...
... let's see, I left high school typing class (gulp) 39 years ago doing 52 wpm on a big ol' MANUAL typewriter that was bigger than a breadbox....
In 1980 I had to quit my first full-time MT job (back in the typewriter days) because I developed tendinitis in my wrists. After 2 months of not typing at all, I went to a temp agency to get some work because not eating is a bad way to live. They gave me the usual typing test. On an unfamiliar typewriter, typing unfamiliar material, not having typed for 2 months, feeling like I was CRAWLING, I clocked in at 104 wpm. (No wonder I burned out my wrists.)
Now we have ergonomics, expanders, tools and toys, and I have NO idea how fast I type, although when I bother to concentrate and not goof off, I can consistently and easily go at least 200 LPH.
Expect if you Google typing speed tests, you might find something. If you have the kind of Expander that works under the OS as opposed to the platform, you can even try a speed test using your expander, at least, just for the fun of it.... :)
See link inside--my physician's office recommended this.

We had to do it twice, but it does work.
When the physician personally calls you, red flag time
I just had an MRA of brain this past week and nephrologist called today, not in and he left his cell phone # for me to call him back. He said an artery showed up as bigger than should be - I asked aneurysm and he said, well he wanted to know about my seeing a neurosurgeon ASAP and he said he would call and talk to 1 he knew (if I did not have one of my choice, nope didn’t ) and get me in just as soon, hopefully tomorrow and then nephrologist called back in about 5 minutes to verify he did speak with the neurosurgeon and appointment tomorrow. Now I have just started to draw my full social security, still working, planning vacations and yes that is pleural and crud!! Maybe good this anomaly caught in time, would hate to stroke out or worse. I had been going to another neurologist, started having some twitches in my face and also nystagmus in my right eye here lately. I was knowing something was up. I will collect that medical license just any day now. Wish me luck with tomorrow....
i love her. I want her to keep saying what she thinks forever. It is so refreshing. He is a pig.

"If it's metal, it'll last forever"...sm
That's one of my dad's favorite sayings. He's a retired sheet metal fabricator. I had a plastic wheelbarrow that got a hole in it when loading it with wood to stack back in my prairie-woman days. He took a square piece of sheet metal, riveted it to the plastic, much like your chair, and 15 years later I am still using that wheelbarrow!
Carrying on here, but I just think this is so neat: When I moved in to my house I was lacking cabinet space. The kitchen had one of those closets with an ironing board in it. My father opened the closet and said "you ever gonna use this?" I only iron for weddings/funerals so I said no, had no need for it. He took the ironing board out, made 6 stainless steel shelves with 90 degree bent ends and drilled them into the cabinet. Canned goods and spices are now in there.
Sorry. Went from chairs to ironing boards. I am avoiding work today.

Definitely understand that - you shouldn't have to have your property be forever a memorial! (sm)
you were VERY kind to leave it there and take care of it for six months. So ridiculous that people gave you a hard time. I'm sorry that happened to you! Bad enough that you have to know something so awful happened in front of your home without a constant reminder and strangers coming up to your house all the time. And it is not your job to maintain it for them. If the family understood, then certainly no one else should have any say whatsoever.
Unless you stay on it forever, you will regain any weight you lose.
People I used to work with went on that diet once. Weight loss varied (nobody lost a lot, just a couple of pounds) and nobody kept it off.
It was scary. Felt like it lasted FOREVER. Heard

Physician called, red flag lady back from visit and on my getting M.D. license
First of all when I called the neurologist's office this morning (this was the appointment my nephrologist had so quickly set up for me last night, himself-) the neurologist's office asked me if I could come on in then instead of waiting for my appointment at 11:30. Oh, lordy me- I just knew it was time to get my affairs in order, write that will, etc.
The physician after my saying about 2 sentences to him asked if I were a physician. The great news is the brain aneurysm is very small (see I also was goggling brain tumor before I went in, you know how some of us are) and he said it was a watch thing, no neurosurgeon would touch it at such a small size. You talk about relief. I told him I could hug his neck. I went in with such fright and that was all basically eliminated. Thanks to each and all who said they had me in their thoughts.
Yeah! Make your life an exiting one, this keeps you young, forever!.
The birth certificate has NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!
You are as old as you feel and if you maintain yourself well, also OTHERS will see yuo young and say 'Wow'!
Example: Jane Fonda, she is
looks amazing, she is 71!
