Hayseed, it hasn't changed my mind about little dogs

At the moment I am considering a one-year-old Papillon/Pomeranian mix that someone is giving away because she has a toddler and two dogs and lives in an apartment. It will be about a month or so before I will even begin the process, because we have to get my son settled at his new college first.


What Fox's health problems have done is made me aware of what to look for in a small dog, and what to have a veterinarian check for before I choose another dog. Fox was so stoic - he almost never complained, despite all the surgeries and pain he went through. I don't want to see another dog go through that kind of pain. It just breaks your heart.


Mine hasn't, but I went and got a
IUD (5-year Mirena, not copper) put in because I, like you, did not want to make that decision to never have kids again even though I am happy with the 2 I have.

The doctor and information they give you says that the IUD is as effective as getting your tubes tied. I have had no side effects and really almost don't even have a period now. If he decides against getting one, I would really suggest looking into something like this. It only cost me my co-pay of $20 to have it put in too.
Mine is changed every 12,000 miles but
i do not use the regular oil that other cars use
I'm sorry, I don't, but if she hasn't seen
a rheumatologist, I'd try to get her in with one. I hear the wait around here is a long one. I would definitely get people praying for her.
no he sure hasn't
but that's it
It hasn't too much, except in the 401(k)...

We are debt free but the house, the payment only requires one of DH's paychecks (he gets paid twice a month and then on the off weeks he gets his overtime check) or my paycheck for the month when I can get my lines in, we have never taken out a second mortgage or touched the equity in our home. Our mortgage rate is low to mid 5%, cars paid off, CC paid in full, great credit score and we live below our means. We still take vacations, eat in restaurants, etc. Our circle of friends don't seem to have any problem with this economy, other than investments. We are in our late 40s, early 50s, kids grown and gone, we don't pay for college. DH drives 66 miles round trip to work, but has an economical commuter care. Our SUV gets about 20 to 24 mpg, which compares to some newer ones out there.


My DH has worked for the same company for 25 years, however, layoffs are coming, and he is putting out his resume just in case. He will get a nice severance package, etc, if it happens, but we are planning in advance just in case. House is up for sale, a few very interested people, and if it sells we will make enough profit to buy a house free and clear.


We have always lived below our wage and I think that has helped us tremendously. Do we want new cars, TVs, etc, sure, but why bother, we don't want the payments that come with them. We are happy with what we have, don't have a lot of the gimmes or wantitis that has a lot of Americans in debt up to their eyballs with no way out.


If it hasn't faded yet, it probably won't but
the shades are usually based on your natural shade, not what color it is at the time.

The dark blonde should be fine, but just make sure to keep checking it because the longer you leave it in the lighter it will get. If your gray is already covered then you can ignore the extra time you are supposed to leave it on for that. Hope this helps!
P.S. For anyone who hasn't seen him perform sm
Check it out.
I know, she hasn't been on here in about a month or so
Hope she's okay.
It hasn't been long
No, I gained the weight during the time I was in pain and my uterus was swelling out of control (hormones), so most of the 3rd year post ablation. I had a lap supracervical hysterectomy with left oophorectomy (ruptured large complex cyst) on a Monday- up shopping in Walmart on Wednesday, taking care of my kid at home, too.

Since the surgery (which was only a few months ago), I have been able to change my diet and have lost 1 dress size, but haven't added exercise. If I did that, I know I could get the rest of the weight off. I'm moving next month to a place with walking trails built into the community and I hope to take advantage of that.

I do honestly believe the ablation accelerated my hormones, but like I said, everything about my body is extreme, so I'm the 1 patient in a million you hear about. When my doc first offered me the ablation, she told me that in my case, I would end up needing the hysterectomy anyway, but because I was so young the ablation would buy some time. She even said it probably would only give me 3 years before needing the hysterectomy, and her timing was exactly right.

Oh, and I have not had a need for HRT although I do have 3 hairs on my chin now (groin).
If this hasn't be mentioned before (sm)
Chances are the school has a policy regarding this. If not, the child/parent may have some recourse.

Generally school policies supercede general law and rights, i.e. search and seizure regarding lockers (they can go in them as they please).

I'm thinking if they imposed such a stiff penalty, they can back it up lawfully. It really matters not if we think it is right or wrong. If it's school policy (approved by the school board) and stated in the handbook every student gets at the beginning of the semester, then that's the bottom line.

Actually I do this already :( hasn't worked (nm)

Exactly - why hasn't Richard aged?

Or did they think showing him with longer hair when Ben was young would make him look young, too? Well, it didn't.  He looks exactly the same. And does he wear eyeliner?? (Richard)


Ben is definitely twisted. I am sure Juliet is aware of his history and that is why she does not like him and shows no loyalty to him, other than just enough to keep him thinking she is still on his side. I don't know why she and Jack had to keep that secret from the rest of the group, though. If they had just said, hey, Ben is a psychopathic megalomaniac and he would kill Juliet in a hot minute if he thought she had turned on him, so she's playing along until we can take care of him, well, I think the group would have supported them. Now there are all kinds of hurt feelings and jealousy and divided loyalties. But I guess that's the point - drama, drama, drama.


And what kind of hold does Ben have over Richard and the others? It sounds like he is as afraid of Jacob as everybody else.


This just occurred to me - a lot of Polynesian islanders believe there is a god in volcanoes that makes the lava spew out when he is angry. What if there really is one? Named Jacob, maybe?


Just a WAG.


Time to see the vet, especially if she hasn't had initial

Book-in-bag still hasn't moved.

Except now it has a drillbit sitting on top of it for some reason.... 



She needs to apply for scholarships if she hasn't already.
My daughter did that and with the multiple scholarships that she got it covers nearly all of her cost and I pay the difference.
He hasn't hit my child in 8 years, because (sm)
he knows I would turn him in. Has not hit me in 3 for the same reason. My pastor is giving me some resources and contact people to help me get out, not encouraging me to stay by any means. I don't go to that kind of church.
It hasn't effected by routine....sm
Not like a do a lot of beauty routine anyway seeing as how I work at home, but when I do put on makeup and stuff I haven't changed anything.
Why hasn't that hospital adopted the *Time Out*

The entire surgical team is involved in the *Time Out* and *Pause for the Cause* (called different things in different states).  All involved in the surgery standing in the OR at that moment must be in agreement on confirming the correct patient, correct procedure, correct site of procedure, correct position of the patient, etc. 


I went in for surgery and they asked me multiple times to repeat my name and the procedure I was coming in for as I went through multiple rooms on the gurney. 


That is really scary that these types of errors are still going on.


Obviously, that is a hospital I wouldn't even take my dog to.   


He hasn't lost a thing! Awesome performance!
I've always loved Prince and was not disappointed by his performance at the Super Bowl. Best halftime show I've seen in a long time (blew out Janet Jackson AND no wardrobe malfunctions!)
If a person hasn't had a period in 13 years, doesn't that

you can still develop an allergy. I was told years ago that your body chemistry changes every 7 years or so; don't know if it is true, but it seems that way in my experience. I have developed shampoo allergies in the past totally out of the blue, as well as skin sensitivity. Do patch testing on her arm, place a dab of everything she uses on her inner arm, leave on for 24-48 hours (no showers) covering with a band-aid and then check to see if there is a reaction. That is how I found out it was the shampoo I had been using for years; stopped using the shampoo and my rash went away instantly. But regardless call the dermatologist, make an appointment, I cannot believe you have not called them because you think it will take too long to explain to them the problem; tell them skin rash, period. It may just be a reaction to the drug she is on as well, so once she is off it still may take weeks to clear up and she may need somethings to counteract the reaction. My daughter a few years ago had a reaction to Omnicef, they had to put her on 2 other drugs to get the rash to go away, then taper her off them once the rash disappearred, took about 2-3 weeks for the whole process. Call doctor today, get her in ASAP!

I can't get into it anymore...has it changed?..
I just get "picture of the day" and not the live cam I used to see.  ???
This was some years ago and probably has changed
but I was the custodial parent. My ex-husband stayed behind in child support, never caught up and owed me over 3 thousand when my child reached 18. He wanted me to "drop" off my child at another place, did not want to perhaps run into a new guy at my home and the judge said my child not a puppy dog, if he wanted to see he would have to pick her up there. Whatever the courts say, not what you or the next one says, is what goes. Getting the police involved is fruitless- they will tell you need an attorney, go thru the courts, etc. Calling them is taking up their valuable time and they are not at liberty to state who a child should go with. What kind of court order is there and if not, there certainly should be something before you start playing these games. I do not think nonpayment of child support now days plays any part in whether a child is allowed to visit with noncustodial parent. Basically when a court says so, you have to abide by their orders.
Things may have changed
when he was like 2.  I will never do that again.  They put a bunch of needles filled with different types of serum up both of his arms and all over his back.  Then they had to be watched to see which one he reacted to the most.  The allergist claimed he was allergic to every food out there and every tree and mold.  So, I just laid off the milk and kept him inside on high pollen days.  He would have been bubble boy.  Thankfully, he's fine now other than an occasional sinus drainage problem, which I think the pollen or something or other must be high right now. 
Yes, a friend of my DIL had this and changed
for the worst. She lost weight in her body but her extremities did not and she did not look that good. She changed completely in personality, went from mother and part-time teacher to thinking sex goddess, running around with lots of guys, stealing- things she never did before the bypass. I also saw a television show on bypass surgeries and the stories were similar to this, lots have experienced complete character changes.
In many ways she has changed
Far from perfect but definitely better and being with Nick has definitely helped. Of course, she was just recently holding over Sharon and Brad's head their affair and could go to jail for it, so I guess that is the Phyllis you remember. I have only been watching the show for about 3 years.
times have changed
dont make a big deal about it or it will become a big deal.  so buy her the little sports bras that look like half T shirts.  this is also good in the winter as it helps keep them warmer.  no big deal.
The age for some retirement has changed
I am almost 65 (next March) and my retirement age is 67. It has gone up with people living longer and people born around my year and later will find their social security starts later than 65. I am still working and hope to continue- I have retirement money starting next April from place outsourced from (being independent contractor, that will probably pay part of my taxes for the month, ha!) I guess I should go ahead and contact SS so I can find out if and when I should sign up.
I have a friend who changed her name.
She now wants to be called Sunshine. It would be one thing if the name fit her, but she's the most negative, complaining person I've ever met. I refuse to call her Sunshine. She corrects me whenever I call her by her given birth name, so I just roll my eyes and call her, "Hey!" I think it dishonors your parents to change your name. I've known her by her given name for over 20 years. I'm not changing just because she decided she doesn't like it any more.
A lot has changed in 5 years --

I don't have any personal experience with bankruptcy, but I have a few friends who do.  One of them filed several years ago and I think a lot has changed since then.  I don't think it's as easy to do anymore and I think you still have to pay some of it back.  It's also harder if you have assets to file bankruptcy, so you might want to look into it a little better.


On an another note, it's rather upsetting that so many people think (and not just you) that it's okay to just throw your debt over your shoulder and walk away.  I'm sure everyone has their reasons for racking up the debt, but in the end, it's a decision you made.  I think people should be more responsible for their actions.  Too many people live for the moment and let the rest of us pay for it.


I would have changed seats anyway sm
Less inconvenient than being sick! If I see someone coughing or otherwise obviously sick, I hold my breath as I walk past them if I cannot go way out of my way to walk around them...lol. I used to be a classroom reader with the first graders at my son's school...I built up quite the immune system that year ;) Didn't volunteer this year for my daughter's third grade class...lol
remember they changed it?
It always happens before Halloween however someone in the government changed the daylight savings time weeks... my calendar on sunday says "daylight savings time ends". does that mean saturday night, i guess someone said below!
Unless things have changed
As far as I know, you have to have a converter box, if you don't have a HDTV TV. You can't use a DVD or VCR player for a converter. Maybe what they meant, is if you need a converter box, and don't have one, the only way you can watch your TV, is using a DVD or VCR player, playing the DVD discs, or VCR tapes.

I have bought 5 converter boxes, ending up taking two back. First one I got was a Magnovox, and I didnt' like it. My antennas wouldn't fit it.

I took it back and exchanged it for a RCA one. I couldn't get my money back, with the coupon, so, had to exchange it, and am stuck with the RCA one. It works OK. Not great.

Then I reviewed and found the TiVax was recommended. I got it. I liked it, till I got a DVT Pal today. It is better than any of them i have tried. I traded a Zenith for it, didnt' like the Zenith. My antennas wouldn't fit it, either. So I took the Zenith back, got the DVT Pal.

The Pal is the only one , so far, that I have gotten 4 stations. The others I have only gotten 2. With the ZEnith, I got none. I think I'll stay with the DVT Pal. I have one more coupon left.
No slump here so nothing has changed. NM

Wow, the place sure has changed!
My hubby and I went there on our honeymoon in 1985. It was very quiet, and we went all over the place on scooters, taxis, and even rented a jeep and drove up the peninsula some 100 miles or so to see the ruins at Chichen Itza. At that time, the airport looked more like a bus station!

I would have had a great time, but it was January, and I had the flu... REAL influenza; the sort of illness where you feel like you're going to die and you just don't care. I started feeling a little ill even before we left home. By our first night there, I felt horrible and was sick for the entire week. All these years later we laugh about our honeymoon and how I walked around Cancun like a zombie.
Wills cannot be CHANGED. They can be

Without their agreement nothing can be changed.
Have you changed anything in your diet?

My sister had horrible migraines about 20 years ago to the point where she thought she had a brain tumor.  She found out that she has a  lot of allergies to food, MSG being the worst one.  She has to read labels very carefully and the big thing to stay away from is turkey.  Turkey has it's own natural MSG that would put her in bed for a day with a headache if she ate it.


I hope you find a remedy that works.


Maybe the office has changed their
policy and will not just renew RXs without an exam.
Even if he truly changed, I'm just not sure if I could love him again.

I just don't know if I can ever completely trust him again and there is a panic that rises in my gut when I think about him coming back home and things going back to the way they were.


He used to steal money from me in order to buy booze because at one point I just decided I could not trust him with money, even if he had a dollar he would buy a cheap can of beer at the gas station.  He had booze hidden all over the house.  He would look me in the eye, drunk as a skunk, and say he hadn't been drinking.  When I asked if he had booze in the house, he said "no" without batting eye.


I just don't want to walk around feeling tense all of the time and worrying if he's telling me the truth or not.  Even if he does truly change, how do I get rid of my doubts?  I don't know if I can ever completely trust him again and I don't want to live like that.


Hang on, though. The rate could have changed...sm

If any payments were late (or missed), the rate could have gone up astronomically for the OP.  They may well have gone up and up.  It's probably in the fine print of the card agreement that that will happen automatically with late payments. 


And I have heard financial experts say that it's not a good idea to call and cancel a card if you still have a balance on the card, because then you have no way to negotiate with them.  Though it doesn't sound like any negotiating was able to happen in this case, you're supposed to keep asking for the person's supervisor (and their supervisor, if necessay), and be persistent, until you get to talk to someone who can help you with lowering the rate and maybe waiving some of the fees.


Then I would apply for another card with a lower rate (and make darn sure you don't make any payments late or miss any payments!) and transfer that WA MU balance over (and ask if they can wave the transfer fee when you apply for the new card).


BTW, I recently applied for a credit card with WA MU because the offer was for 0% interest for 15 months on balance transfers, and the person was definitely in India.  Every time I interruped him to ask him a question, it was like he then had to start over reading his "script" but I could understand him. 


I asked if he could wave the balance transfer fee, and he said he was unable to do that.  I didn't persist or ask to speak to his supervisor, but I should have.  According to the experts, the time to negotiate is before they have your business.  After they  have you as a customer, they aren't so interested!


 


I read this was changed 10 years ago what with

20-40 young adult


40-60 adult


60-80 middle-age


80-100 old age


seems a better fit in today's world of people living significantly longer than our ancestors.........


I got a couple of years until I hit middle age according to what I read 10 years ago or longer..........



Hubby changed dermatologists after...
