Oh that's so funny! Pigs are kind of
like big labs, playing in their water. It's hilarious to watch them at the dog park. One of the big bushes has a moat around it that can fill with water after a rain, and every time a dog takes the plunge to wallow, the crowd wails in sympathy for the poor owner. :op
ROFL!!!! Gonna be some funny looking old ladies in about 40 years...lol nm

Wow Nana - I can't keep up with you! LOL (nm)
:-)
Nana, I have to know
how old are your kids? I tried homeschooling a couple of years ago and just felt like I was not giving them what they needed, because I was also working too much. God bless you and your patience!
Hey nana
Yes, I'm on antibiotics and they gave me Vicodin for the pain, which really didn't start helping until last night, but then right before bed I started to get itchy. Didn't think anything of it until I woke up around 11:00 itchy all over. Finally realized it must be the Vicodin because Amoxil has never bothered me before. Got up, took some Benadryl, went back to bed. Around 2:00 woke up with a pounding headache. Got up, took more Advil (I know what you mean about your liver!) for the headache then got shaking chills. They only lasted a couple of minutes, but what a night. Third night in a row I didnt' sleep well and now I"m so tired, it's hard to work. Tonight will be better. It cant' be worse.
Our insurance also is very good except when it comes to crowns etc. Won't pay a dime towards a crown.

Nana, I agree!
Little old men ARE little old ladies. All of a sudden, they're home and they know everything, think they can cook better, vacuum better, etc., etc. You actually trip over them. I wouldn't want a younger one either, as there is no respect. Someone once asked James Wood a question about young girlfriends. He said, "If you were going to get a dog, would you want a young puppy or a 13-year-old dog? That's the way young guys treat older women (unless you have a lot of money and are going to kick the bucket.) Buy something that will take some stress out of their life and put a smile on their face.
Thanks Nana! I missed that. nm
most are pigs....*lol*
You have been around some pigs!
My husband the exact opposite of what you list- when we first married I had bugs- he showed me how to rinse cans screw out prior to putting in garbage, things too big for garbage disposal wrapped in plastic, put in freezer until night before garbage runs, taken out and discarded- no sting for the garbage that way as still frozen by time picked up, carries liquid soap in container and paper towels with him when traveling so will have things to wash his hands with, santizes with alcohol telephones, remote controls- is a chef and would NEVER think about leaving food particles on anything- says I don’t wash dishes clean enough (my sight not as good as his) and I leave particles and he has to rewash. He buys really good cookware and he told me NOT to use a certain tool because it would scratch the pan - you know some guy or guys but you sure don’t know them all. I guess mine not passive-aggressive like the ones you have met.
Pigs at the Trough
Huffington, dare these days to point out how deeply, resolutely classist our country has become, and that 99.9 percent of us are getting SCREWED. Huffington is as mad as hell, and rightly so. Adrienne Miller, Esquire (read the entire Esquire review)
New York Times bestseller in hardcover. From a provocative, nationally syndicated columnist comes a blistering, wickedly funny indictment of the nexus of corporate chiefs, Wall St. analysts and lawyers who have perpetrated massive corporate fraud in America, and how these boondoggles are cheating average Americans.
Review:
A rousing call to action against special interests that have all too often triumphed over the national interest. As only she can, Arianna Huffington breathes energy and passion into the reform agenda. A withering, breathtaking, quintessentially controversial book that will inspire, inflame, and educate. Senator John McCain
Who filled the trough? Who set the table at the banquet of greed? How has it been possible for corporate pigs to gorge themselves on grossly inflated pay packages and heaping helpings of stock options while the average American struggles to make do with THEIR LEFTOVERS?
Provocative political commentator Arianna Huffington yanks back the curtain on the unholy alliance of CEOs, politicians, lobbyists, and Wall Street bankers who have shown a brutal disregard for those in the office cubicles and on the factory floors. As she puts it:
“The economic game is not supposed to be rigged like some shady ring toss on a carnival midway.” Yet it has been, allowing corporate crooks to bilk the public out of trillions of dollars, magically making our pensions and 401(k)s disappear and walking away with astronomical PAYOUTS and absurdly lavish perks-for-life.
The media have put their fingers on pieces of the sordid puzzle, but Pigs at the Trough presents the whole ugly picture of what’s really going on for the first time—a blistering, wickedly witty portrait of exactly how and why the worst and the GREEDIEST are running American business and government into the ground.
Making the case that our public watchdogs have become little more than obedient lapdogs, unwilling to bite the corporate hand that feeds them, Arianna Huffington turns the spotlight on the tough reforms we must demand from Washington. We need, she argues, to go way beyond the lame Corporate Responsibility Act if we are to stop the voracious corporate predators from eating away at the very foundations of our democracy.
Devastatingly funny and powerfully indicting, Pigs at the Trough is a rousing call to arms and a must-read for all those who are outraged by the scandalous state of corporate America.

pot bellied pigs
what a pet!
yes, and now they stay off cuz my fingers are swollen

Keeping my fingers crossed that

Eeeek! (crossing my fingers against PG!)

I have osteorthritis in my hands & fingers. - sm
Also getting it in hip. For the most part, I would say the pain has come on gradually, increasing in each joint over a period of a couple years. Only exception was my right thumb. It has severe OA, which gave me no trouble 'til one evening when I was at my mom's, I was bored, and I texted a bunch of emails to my friend on my cellphone. The next day my thumb ached like crazy. With rest it felt better, but never did go back to baseline.
The quality if the pain is usually not sharp, more like dull ache that varies in intensity. Occasionally, though, moving the affected part in the wrong way (especially turning my hip & thigh inward) can cause a sharper jolt.
Without x-rays & a doctor exam, you probably won't know for sure what it was. As the other poster said, there could be some kind of an acute injury, or even a muscle spasm. But then again, it's always possible there is arthritis in the hand that was quiescent until now.
Now that I know it's not an acute injury, I find heat and gentle stretching to be of help. Also NSAIDs for when it flares up. Most importantly, I keep the part moving. The hip bothers me when I run & do other vigorous exercise, but I find I can warm up, work through the pain, and it ultimately feels better afterward. WARM-UP is the key.
Same with the ouchy thumbs, especially when typing. I keep my workspace warm (I don't use (or even have) AC in hot weather). In cold weather I keep the room war and use typing-gloves.
I would keep an eye on the hand, try to take a few days off from typing, or anything else that makes it worse. Try researching the symptoms online, and if there's no improvement within a reasonable amount of time, since you're an MT and need your hands to make a living, I would self-refer to an orthopedist or a hand specialist. Still, try giving it some time & rest. It could be you were working really hard up to that point, and upon making a sudden, possibly slightly awkward movement while reaching for the cup, the muscles in your hand cramped up. I find that kind of pain to be worse than a fracture!
Take care!
No kidding. I'm not typing my fingers
to the bone for a week or two straight just to buy a freakin' purse! Maybe if I was a CEO or something, but not on my MT pay. Or maybe if I was an MTSO, LOL...
Right, and pigs fly. You outed yourself as pagan by the way you
made your post.
DOG FOOD FED TO CHICKENS AND PIGS
I absolutely find it hard to believe that some fool took all the recalled dog food and sold it to farmers raising chickens and pigs and that these fools bought it... now the chickens and pigs are contaminated.. Who eats chickens and pigs WE DO... well we think India is a bad thing, dealing with the CHINESE is worse apparently, They have been adding melanine to made the protein content look higher. THey were also caught selling off the sewage and some company extracted the fats and made lard out of them and sold that for human consumption also.
What are all these people thinking of.. other than to exterminate US dogs, chickens and cows, enough of buying from these countries. It has to stop somewhere, they can poison our food, all in the name of the almightly dollar or YEN or whatever they use.
Disgusted
DOG FOOD FED TO CHICKENS AND PIGS
From what we just read, the recalled pet food was then sold or given to pig farmers, as well as the wheat gluten that went into the chicken food.
We had Guinea Pigs for years sm
We had two that the Pet Store said they were males . Wrong. The mom had 5 offspring. One offspring was pure white which is unusual. They make great pets. If they would hear you rattlling papers in the kitchen they would get excited and want attention. The last one died after 8 years.
Boys wrap their moms around their fingers too
Apparently you, for example......I know moms of boys and sometimes I think some of them are delusional about their *boys/men*.....I don't know - I surely just don't get it.....as much as I try to get it.....
They used to do that with extra fingers & toes on babies that

The people in the next neighborhood over have pot bellied pigs
They have three of them. They're too cute. I'm sure they eat a lot, but from what I know they're supposed to be good pets. My brother-in-law was actually going to get one once. I can't remember why he changed his mind.
yeah, why don't you just snap your fingers and magically make another job appear?

We were considering a rabbit in March but decided to go with guinea pigs instead (sm)
My daughter is 5 and really wanted a cat, but we just aren't "cat people." We have a big dog, and she loves him but wanted something cuddlier. We wanted something that she could help care for and play with. We get the "pigs" out of their cage every day (we have a an indoor fence/play yard that we put on a towel to catch the pee and poop) and let them run around. They have turned out to be a lot more fun than I thought they would. They really don't smell as long as you change the bedding in the cage every three to four days (might go longer if you only had one). From the things I've read and our experience, they are really gentle and tolerant (no one has gotten even an accidental bite since we got them in March, and we handle them ALL the time).
The negatives are that they are quite messy ( lots more vaccuming in the room where the cage is - again might not be as bad with only one - most of the bedding goes flying when they get to chasing each other around), and they can be noisy (especially at night when you're wanting to sleep).
They are terribly cute, and we love them but, like any animal, they are a lot of work. I don't regret it at all, but I can see where it wouldn't be for everyone.
Wait! No pigs in the White House, though. Nevermind..that rule has already been broken! nm

Shampoo sm
I totally agree! I can't tell you how many times I have gotten home only to find that I ended up with 2 conditioners or 2 shampoos instead of 1 of each. My fault, I know, but I've done this despite being (I thought) extremely careful so it didn't happen again. I guess we should consider ourselves lucky to have such an array to choose from.
I usually tip 15% because I also tip the shampoo person.,,,,
But if the hairdresser does it all, including the shampoo, etc., I tip closer to 20%.
60 does some too high.. I pay 60 for shampoo,

Kelco Shampoo

How is it different from regular shampoo?
Is it conditioning? I have to avoid conditioning shampoos, so I've wasted a lot of money trying shampoos that are all about conditioning the hair (It irritates the skin).
Can we talk about Shampoo....
It is really a bit annoying to me to try and buy shampoo these days. I just want a bottle that says "Shampoo---for clean hair", but trying to read all the labels and pick out a bottle is kind of getting on my nerves. First, you have to find the one that says "shampoo" and that isn't easy since it is written in 2 different languages. (And let me say right now that immigrants that speak Spanish do not bother me in the least bit--and I don't care whether they speak English---just to get that out of the way, cause this isn't about that at all.) Then you have to read whether it is for frizzy hair, dry hair, colored hair, hair that needs hydrating, hair that needs dehydrating, permed hair, gray hair, shampoo & conditioner (which I do not want).......!
I mean can't there be just "Shampoo" and that's it?
Is it just me, or anyone else out there having this problem? Maybe I'm getting to be a bit crabby in my old age, but I would rather spend that time doing something else instead of studying the dang shampoo shelves.
If I don't shampoo my hair every day...sm
It is so oily the next day it looks like I haven't washed it in a week. I have to wash it everyday. It would be nasty if I didn't. I wish I didn't but I do.
Depends on the shampoo I use sm
We have well water, and I buy a special shampoo for that. If I don't, I get an orangish tinge to my hair and it does not stay clean for even a whole day. Also, I can only use a tiny amount of conditioner because my hair tends to be oily. That said, I usually only wash my hair every other day, more because of my schedule than anything.
Does any know if kids shampoo
I was at a salon the other day with my 2 girls, one 7, the other 3. I asked the stylist if it I should wash my 7-year-old's hair in regular shampoo instead of the kid shampoo I get. I have done it once or twice when I ran out of shampoo. She didn't say yes or no, she just said that she wouldn't because kid shampoos have an ingredient in it that prevents lice. She said the detangler spray in particular is what helps. I tried to Google that but haven't come up with anything. I was just wondering if anyone else heard it. TIA
Also Nizoral shampoo might be just the ticket.
I like the OTC one, but there is also a Rx one with the same active ingredient. I just didn't like it as well.
The OTC one is expensive, like $12 a bottle, but it's great stuff.
Medicated shampoo? Sounds like what my

Thanks - I will try the powder - just got new shampoo so won't try the Dawn yet (nm)

Paul Mitchell Shampoo One
simple as it gets.
http://www.amazon.com/Paul-Mitchell-Shampoo-One/dp/B0002F1RW8
Wella SP Regulate shampoo is (sm)
ideal for oily scalp. It won't damage your hair, either. I alternate with Nystatin (OTC) dandruff shampoo.
I tell you what shampoo WILL prevent lice...sm
At Sally's the generic Paul Mitchell's tea tree oil shampoo. Tea Tree Oil kills lice so if you shampoo with it it prevents them. It is not a lice killer it is just regular shampoo. It smells a lot like peppermint to me. I used it when my son started kindergarden because I didn't want him to get lice. Kids in his clss had it and he never got it. It is a little expensive but worth it to me.
You're so funny!!! That's what I wanted - funny redneck stories
Just kinda tired of my house looking like Sanford and Son - LOL!
When I get dry, itchy scalp I make a shampoo...sm
I copied this from my vinegar book for you.
Apple Cider Vinegar-for your hair/scalp PH balances
Dandruff and Itchy Scalp: add two teaspoons of ACV to a large glass of warm water. Lean your head over a sink and carefully pour the mixture over your entire scalp. Wrap your head in a towel for 15 minutes. Unwrap head, comb hair and then wash hair as usual. The acidic nature of ACV combined with its potent enzymes can help scalp problems such as dandruff, itchy scalp, baldness and thinning hair. Apple cider vinegar also stimulates hair follicles to encourage the growth of healthier hair.
All Natural Shampoo (ACV)
Add the following ingredients in a blender:
1 oz. Olive oil
1 egg
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon ACV.
Use as you would a regular shampoo
Herbal Hair Rinse Combinations Using ACV
Use ¼ fresh herb or you can use dry ones. You can use any herb you like. Add to 1 quart boiling water. Let is steep until cool strain then add 2 tablespoons of ACV. Certain herbs can enhance your hair color, as well as condition it. Rosemary and parsley are good for dark hair, sage will darken graying hair, chamomile will highlight blonde or light brown hair, calendula conditions, lavender and lemon verbena add fragrance, linden is good for frequently shampooed hair, and nettles will control dandruff.
Head & Shoulders or other similar shampoo (sm)
That helps me with lots of skin ailments - I use it under my arms so I won't be stinky and it works great :-) Might be worth a shot anyway.
My daughter had this problem, ended up she was using a shampoo
for oily hair that made her hair over-compensate for using the oily shampoo and it produced more oil, hence her having to wash her hair more often, try switching shampoos. I feel for you.
My doc tells people to use OTC DHS Zinc Shampoo
