breasts are not genitalia........
I once saw a lady on TV with MM breasts
It was on Geraldo or one of those back in the talk-show boom days about 15 years ago. She was size MM and it was really gross. They looked like they would burst at any second.
You're welcome! Turkey breasts are often
in the frozen section with the whole turkeys.
Why not ask for an ultrasound if you have smaller breasts? I

No wonder - 10 hrs is WAY too long for chicken breasts, unless sm
they are frozen. You can dump them right in the pot, frozen solid and 8-10 hrs would be just right. Also certain veg (squash in particular) would totally lose it in that time. Eww.
I agree with you. True, breasts are not genitalia, but
they are considered related to sexuality anyway. I realize a lot of that is because of society, but that's just the way it is. Times have changed and we have to adapt. Just because breastfeeding in public was acceptable 50 years ago, that may have changed. I for one would not want to breastfeed in public. I prefer to keep all my parts hidden. I would not want someone else being able to see my breasts. I cringe when I have to go have a mammogram because it makes me very uncomfortable to have someone else seeing my breast even though it is a very necessary part of medical care. By the same token, I don't want to be able to see someone else's breast either. Cover it with a blanket or go somewhere less public. JMO. 
wrong - God gave you breasts to feed your babies
I believe God gave women breasts to feed their young and did NOT give us breasts for *sexual pleasure* regardless that we get sexual pleasure from them.
The reality is that God gave women breasts to breast-feed........not just for poor people in 3rd world countries. I breastfed mine until they were 6 months old..........it's an individual thing but I went by the teeth thingy - once teeth are in, time to start weaning.
Yes, sore breasts and missed period are definitely good indicators...
take a test already and let us know--lol
I've given dry + canned + cubed skinless chicken breasts.
Snacks have been:
1. Generic "beggin' strips" like you.
2. Cheese bits, but little or no other dairy.
3. Now and then (expensive), dried chicken strips that have glucosamine & chondroitin for joints. Otherwise, I use a powder with G & S that says it also adds fiber. A couple of tbsp of this mixed in their food per day.
The chicken I add is one breast between two dogs AM and PM, so they each get one whole chicken breast per day (skinless, removing any fat). I also let them lick the two baking dishes whenever I fix the chicken. Now and then they also do the dinner dishes in order to save on our hot water bill. They're such good kitchen help I've been trying to get them dishwasher jobs, but the only restaurant that was interested didn't offer benefits. :)
Docs
Have you ever been to a doctor's office and the nurse asks you some pertinent information, and you might say "I have had a TAH&BSO" or a D&C, and the nurse will say "What is that?" I just freak, I know I have been doing this for 20+ years, but sometimes I wonder if the nurse is really a nurse- yes I know some can be aids or physician taught, but I think I would just take the info down, reassure the patient and find out what it was when I left the room.
Yes I have tried to tell a doctor who may be filling in for my reg doc what has helped with migraines and severe back problems, and I swear they will give me something totally different because they think I am drug seeking. If they would just really listen or look at what you do on the occupation sheet which they make you fill out, things might go a little smoother in everyone's life.
ESL docs have got to be the funniest!
I have one who always says "patient lives alone at home by himself." Another one seems beyond being able to use correct medical terminology for bodily functions. All his patients "poop" and "pee." The kids also have "snotty noses."
They say docs won't treat them?
geez, I'm afraid...
You would be surprised what docs can
get away with in a hospital setting. Been there.
I'm older than dirt, too, and older
than the 2 posters below me.
I remember when gas was $.25 a gallon when I got my driver's license and first car.
The first car my dad had was a LaSalle with running boards. After that, he bought all Hudsons and then Ramblers. He never owned a Chevy.
My first car was a ི Chevy, green and White, that my dad paid $12 for (cost of the tag). My uncle gave it to him and was a stick shift. I never drove an automatic until I was 20 and bought my own car with my own money. I paid $1500 for a ྀ Rambler Classic, 4 door (my first 4 door, too) in turquoise blue. My dad was mad because I didn't pick the Navy blue and white stick shift Rambler because it was cheaper.
My allowance was $1.50 a week and to make money, I chauffered all my friends around plus to school and back for $.25 a week.
And, I just turned another year older on Monday. Ugh! Thank heavens, no one in my family wished me HB. I quit counting 20 years ago. 
don't believe the docs....Jerry Lewis has this
Sorry for your news and I know this doesn't answer your question (yet), but I have to say just because an MD says someone has used up 2 out of 5....doesn't make it sure that's going to happen.....many people live beyond what the doctors say.....
Jerry Lewis has pulmonary fibrosis and was a mess a few years ago (and IS aging) but is doing much better he said in comparison to that time....
As for what I'd want to do? Just be with the ones I love the most and do some traveling........making sure to say the things to the loved ones prior to my demise...in other words, making sure I got it all out and cleared all the air if there might be air to clear.......and so that all questions from everyone would be answered prior to my demise, to leave nobody with unanswered questions about just about anything and everything....
Reminder: MDs are not god(s)......they have been wrong....they told my friend her father had *6 months to live max*, and he lived on another 3+ years....
My docs seem to be playing catch-up. I see it as

I know, most docs really don't adequately warn you (sm)
I went from having a moderately light, 4 day period, to having a very heavy 7 day period! I also had a lot of the other symptoms associated with post tubal ligation syndrome. I wish I had done more research first! I think it is better for him to have a vasectomy - far, far easier and less recovery time too.
Docs need to warn more about complications sm
Docs sometimes do not explain complications of drug interactions, they are way too rushed. Also, the drugs were prescribed in another country. The label on the Xanax said 2 mg, not strong enough to kill anyone. Lots of side effects from Ambien, although used correctly, it's a wonder drug. First time I was bluntly told I had "cancer" and needed surgery "yesterday" I couldn't sleep and Ambien 5 mg was a lifesaver to me, I went to sleep within minutes and woke up refreshed with no ill effects, it is a wonder drug to me, but many in my community have gotten into trouble with the law from mixing it with alcohol and doing terrible things. It sounds like this person was very distraught and it was an accident, pure and simple. He was a talented person who was going through so much pain. He loved his little girl so much, it must have been heart wrenching for him. I am not going to judge him, I just hope he and his family can be at peace if that is at all possible in this cruel world (for the family) and in the next (for him). God bless them all!
I think if they penalized the docs signing off
fewer people getting it. I worked an oncology office and we had people all the time wanting these forms filled out. Yes, some were legitimate, but the majority were people with anemia, thrombocytopenia or status post their cancers in complete remission. My doc never signed unless the person absolutely was entitled to it. I think if more docs got a backbone and quit signing off on these, you'd see a lot less people getting disability.
It's the normal instinct for Americans to "take what they can get", but what excuse do the docs have for signing off on it?
First off, what kinds of tests have the docs run???....sm
When my son Adam was 14, he came down with severe aches, light sensitivity, sore throat off and on, EXTREME FATIGUE, etc. His doctor suspected mono and did a Monospot to check this out, complete white count with diff, and also EB virus serologies. and Yup, he did have mono, it took a couple of months to get him over the worst. Lots of rest, good eating habits, and multivitamins is all you can do until the virus gets erradicated. And no contact sports or heavy activities, because the spleen gets very enlarged during mono and they worry about rupture with a blow, etc.
If no tests have been done, I would get a good pediatrician ASAP who will do a CBC with diff, white count, sed rate, UA, EBV serologies and Monospot, and get him diagnosed!! The ear thing may or may not be a part of this, could be a concurrent illness on its own, but if he has been this sick this long, "guessing" at the etiology is wasting time, you need to know for sure what exactly is wrong with your son to treat him properly.
Not trying to be an alarmist, but have raised two and my third is 11 right now so have been through the Streps, pneumonias, my third baby was born with vesicoureteral reflux and needed prophylactic antibiotics the first year of life (he outgrew it right after that, thank God, but we spent 8 days of he!! in the hospital as they put the 3-week old through spinal taps and ALL TYPES of tests, two weeks in hospital with my little girl at 5 years with severe double pneumonia, etc!). Hopefully, if it is mono/EBV, he will recover really quickly, but YOU also need to put your mind at rest, too! Take good care of each other, and update us, okay??? God Bless
Most docs stink these days. And they think everyone is a hypochondriac
if they can't figure out what you have. Good luck to you and I hope you feel better and you find a decent doctor (good luck with that too!)
but I do believe fibro can be a catchall diagnosis when docs can't (sm)
figure out what's wrong with you!
Working my butt off, all my docs went nuts -sm
have about 180 minutes of dictation to do.......interuptions galore over the weekend so hard to work! Hope to watch the game though, we will see, definitely watching half-time as I love Tom Petty and have since I was 12! (so 30 years). Cannot wait for that especially since not sure if I will go to see him on his upcoming tour as he is coming to my area on a Sunday and kids want to go too, but they would have school the next day and the show is about 90 minutes away from me. So not sure what I am going to do yet.
I hate when the docs say foul smelling diarrhea
when does diarrhea ever not smell foul??? I also hate when they say creamy white sputum - makes me throw up in my mouth a little.
Please understand, being that you are younger than how long I have smoked, docs
used to ENCOURAGE it - I am sure others can remember. Doc sitting with a pack of cigarettes in his shirt pocket and suggesting it for best stress reliever. Do I blame them? No, not at all. I truly feel that cancer is such a huge money machine that medicine would be hurting poorly if a cure was actually found (or disclosed). And, as you have not smoked before, you are entirely correct in that you cannot understand.
I hear wrong dosages all day long from nurses who dictate for docs -
Maybe they are just misspeaking, maybe they really do not know? Really alarming!!!
As I stated, (OP)
I'm all for it if the child earns it, and clearly a child making that much improvement definitely has earned an award...I am not against them totally, just think enough is enough already...I was waiting on the best teeth, hair, clothes award to come up next (not really, but you know what I mean--I hope)
In everything I have seen so far, she has not stated - sm
that she was using an birth control. If she just came forward to tell the whole world she was pregnant and what a "surprise" it was, with no mention of BC, saying, oops I must have forgotten a pill, my patch fell off, or my diaphragm slipped (not that I can see a 16-y/o using a diaphragm). Just the whole thing, and timing of it to me screams planned pregnancy; though the boyfriend may not have known about it. She is a dumb kid, just ruined her career and promise of a lucrative acting future. She may bounce back but not for at least 5 years I would think. Disney will dump her (as they should, they are promoting kids shows, not horny kids who don't know how to use any of the methods of BC that they can get in a local drug store). While it takes balls to keep a child at such a young age (a girl I knew got pregnant at 15 and kept the baby, I admired her principals but though she was nuts too), I still think it is a dumb thing to do. She should have kept her mouth shut and gotten an abortion. Any girl under the age of 20 (and some older) are just not ready to have a baby, assuming of course that they fully take care of the child. I am sure this kid will have a nanny and Jamie-Lynn won't do much of the actually child-rearing which is wrong too. I wasn't ready to have a kid until my late 20s, and if either of my girls come home at 16, 17, 18 pregnant they are not having that kid; and if they decide they just have to have it, I will not become a mom to it or raise it, I would leave it all to them. My mom told us before any of us had kids that she would not be a babysitter to our kids, (meaning day-care provider), and we all held our own taking care of our own kids, never pawning them off on someone else for the day, weekends, etc. (Other than a babysitter for going out now and then). Would love to see if her mom actually makes her raise this kid.
As I STATED above
I was NOT a civilian, I was a Marine working on an Army base! And, as I stated above, the Army is MUCH more lax than the Marines! The Army promotes people to Sgt in 3 to 4 years! Just one example of the many differences between the 2! And even still, it does matter who you work for, who the IG is, etc.
Very, very well stated. nm

Sorry, the drama has just stated again
in the Bahamas so here another 24/7 coverage for anyone who wants the updates. Oh, forgot to mention her mother has just filed another suit in Florida for disposition of the body! My goodness!
That part did not need to be stated at all--sm
as it surely led some to think that it was because he was Korean that he did this. He spent most of his school years in America, so he would not have had that particular culture that you brought up, in his head. He was a troubled young man and I surely don't think it was because he was Korean. JMO
Someone on MQ board stated
last week theirs was showing up already in direct deposit for a post date of Monday, April 28. I heard there will be direct deposits all this week for those who had their tax refund direct deposited. Keeping my fingers crossed as I should be in the next group.
As I stated before, if you knew what
the emails said, you would think differently about the whole situation. I have told her to not contact me if she isn't getting the kind of response she thinks she deserves or wants. It is not my place to give her any info about her bio dad. If she found me, she can find him. I have no right to allow her to disrupt his life, just as she has no right to disrupt mine if I don't want her to. Again, so sorry if I don't come across as the loving, nurturing mommy type to you. Is your life unfulfilled, because if so, I'll give you her number!
If things were as she stated then yes ...sm
she was a good owner. The only thing I disagree with the former pitbull owner is personally I won't take my dogs out in public loose. On a ranch wherever. They stated they had the dog at a ranch with them where the dog went frequently with no leash. I understand they had no reason to leash it because they didn't see it as dangerous but mine has never been dangerous eitehr. But see with me I wouldn't even let my dog run loose in my front yard and I live in the country. There is too much potential for accidents. What if he runs to the road and gets run over? What if someone pulls up and he doesn't know them? How would he react to a stranger? As the owner I have to make sure he doesn't get harmed or harm anyone else. They have to be on a leash if I take them anywhere. That isn't just my pitbull but beagle also. My pitbull is kept either in my backyard in a fenced in area he can't get out of or in the house. My pitbull has not given me reason to isolate him but I just have a rule that he stays in my control at all times. Some people do allow their pets to go in public without leashes or to go to friends houses or where they work and not leash them and that is okay for them but that is also how accidents happen. My dogs are not mean. But they never have that opportunity to bite or anything. If someone comes over my pit doesn't know he is put in the backyard and then maybe brought in and introduced to the new person and he is usually fine. I am a responsible owner. This is with any dog I have not just the pit. I don't allow the beagle out in public either not cause I think she is dangerous by all means she isn't but what if she gets ran over if she isn't leashed or in the fenced in yard. I just feel like it is my responsibility to protect them and other people from them whatever breed they may be. That is the only thing I think the former pit owner could have done different BUT not all people agree with dogs being leashed or isolated in fenced in yards. Everyone has a right to not like pits. And some are mean. Some are very dangerous. But a lot of them are so sweet and so loveable. You just don't know the love some can show. I have a beagle and a pit inside and the pit believe it or not is more affectionate. Not to say the beagle isn't affectionate but she is not AS affectionate as the pit. I am just stating that I believe all dogs should be kept on a leash or in a fenced in yard they can't get out of. I also have a warning sign on the fence saying warning: Dog. Just in case. He may not would bite but in case I will put the sign up and people will know he is there.
No, I think I stated that wrong
They, for some reason, think we voted for GW (which we didn't). They mainly believe we voted for GW because we lived in the same city as their wacked out relatives who did vote for GW, so they just assumed that because we lived in the same city we voted the same. We voted independent but because they voted for AG and then JK, they think they have higher intelligence than us. Even when we told them we didn't vote for GW. It didn't matter because we didn't vote for who they voted for they consider us the lesser.
Know exactly what I stated and any number
approaching 8 is a litter. I have enough sense to know difference between normal births and in my words, nothing but a litter. The mother needs to be spayed. Now come back on that, also.
She already stated that the garage was full
and that they said they would take them instead. Sometimes you do things like that for family, ya know?
Also, she would most definitely say, "why did you store them near the street where you had other things stolen before and stored yours in a safe place?" That is negligence!
Since their quads were not stolen, only the ones right by the street, it is obvious they acted negligently. She stated that the only things stolen on the property were right near the street before. Why would someone put something that they are storing for someone in the same place? That is negligence.
I have no doubt she would probably tell the OP that they should have cleaned the garage and took care of their own quads, but legally, her sister is at fault.
Stepped on a lot of toes when I stated
about how these posts come across, i.e. women stating how to take time of the baby, soccer time, cooking, doing the clothes, etc. and still complaining about not being taken as professional. Well, duh. As you stated, the perception is doubled when working from home your life is a bunch of bon-bons. Just the other day was told by a friend I could wear my PJs if I wanted to while working. That is definitely not something I do but the perception is there regardless and then the MTs come on here oh woe is me, what will I do with Jr. while I'm working. They should have to do the work like your grandmother years ago and probably would be grateful to have the opportunity to be at home and really keep their attention on their MT work instead of moaning and groaning. If you have to do your housework while working, do it and don't moan about it. Comes with being a mother and working at the same time.
I guess I could have stated my comments
a little more detail. Both MIL and DIL like to cook. We always have a wonderful Christmas and Thanksgiving dinner. I guess I was just raised in a family that we had family traveling in to visit, we would do just a little extra. BTW, we actucally have a joint Pizza Hut and KFC restaurant. We call it the Cluck and Hut. That is why I suggested KFC. Doesn't matter now, I got butchered at the beauty shop last night and have been crying ever since. I am not leaving the house for at least 2 weeks.
Rosie O'Donnell as stated below
Yes, stated in post I take supplement
and that is the gluc/chon daily, no I do not stretch because usually hit the floor on a run to do all I need to get done. I took arthritic swim class for the pain and it got worse so don’t feel exercise is all that.
This is 100% correct and like I stated earlier
The mother is making excuses for them not to go. She needs to check her attitude because kids play on this. Pack a bunch of things they like and don’t play into their crying. She apparently does not care much about the MIL- it comes out in her posts- saying she only wants to show them off? Most grandparents want to show off g'kids. This is not unusual.
The OP stated below in the thread that started this whole
conversation that he says he has told her "everything" he knows. If that's the case, then why not tell her about his education. She loves him, for Pete's sake. He does sound like a wonderful man. I just don't understand the secretiveness. It's not like she is a casual acquaintance. This is the person he has chosen to spend his life with, so why not share his life with her. My husband didn't even finish high school but he didn't mind sharing it with me. Maybe we're just strange, but that's the way it is at our house (been married almost 30 years).
Male psychologist on CNN stated SM
he was powerful man who was afraid to discuss his feelings with his wife and "just wanted a hug". Pretty expensive, ahem, hugs.
In reply to your post where you stated, and I quote: (sm)
"I think that is why pharmaceutical companies are in the business (reference to to making money) or am I missing something here? "IMO, yes, you are missing something. IMO, Pharmaceutial Companies and the medications they produce save millions of lives each year, as well as allowing ill people to lead productive lives, improve their quality of life, as well as extended their life. While I do agree with your statement regarding making money, I believe wholeheartedly that medications save and extend peoples' lives.
You stated, "most likely won't give up for adoption, "
as they don't want to be perceived as a bad person. Placing a child up for adoption that you know you are unable to care for properly is a selfless act, as well as a responsible, and most difficult one.
Stated Income Home Loan
I am a self-employed IC and have purchased 4 homes in 4 different states as a single person. I was able to obtain a Stated Income Mortgage based on my credit, rather than my W2. No tax info was used, needed or requested. I guess, if your income is needed along with your husband's to qualify for a loan, then you would need the W2 info. But as a single person you can obtain a home loan based on your credit and not your tax info. Also, if you don't have enough for a down payment, you can take out a "second" against the house you are purchasing to finance your downpayment. You will have a short-term payment for the downpayment and your 30 yr note on the home. I was also able to obtain very low interest rates based on my credit rating.
Good luck, I did have to provide extra documents when I purchased one home with my exhusband.
they stated HALF of the money stayed here in US, not just for
the dying kids in Africa, but for underpriviledged kids here too.
