I have a 9 y/o shih tzu with diabetes. The symptoms run so close that I am almost convinced it is Cushing's instead. Just a matter of convincing the vet to do the correct tests. This web site gives a good crash course in Cushings.
http://www.kateconnick.com/library/cushingsdisease.html
My Tazz has all of the symptoms listed for Cushings. I have had to put him on a diet, "low to no" carbs which puts buiscuits out of the picture but we eat a lot of fruit and veggies now and high protein treats. He also takes insulin 32 units twice a day. I was blessed here with a dog that does not mind shots. I actually diagnosed him myself just from the symptoms and asked to have sugar checked. Vet blamed it on stress from an eye infection until I kept taking him back. He still drinks a lot and will eat everything in the house if I will let him. He had gained a lot of weight. He was 32 pounds and for a shih tzu that is a lot. He is unusually large for a shih tzu to start with which goes with an adrenal disorder, but he has lost weigh since being put on insulin and the diet, but still drinks about a quart of water at a time and urinates just that much. In Cushing's they tend to be immune to the insulin and that's what happened to us...took a while to regulate him. He is taking Vetsulin now but will be changed tomorrow to NPH, hopefully which is cheaper. If they have to get needles buy them at wal-mart or somewhere equivalent. BIG difference in price. I started giving chromium picolinate as well, which is really what regulated my boy. I also give daily vitamins and acidophilus for his intestinal tract. Feel free to email me with questions at any time if I can help. There is also a site.. http://www.petpeoplesplace.com that has a pet forum you can pretty much go there at any time, even in emergencies and will get great help from owners, rescuers, vets and vet technicians. Good luck. With treatment it is possible for your parent's dog to live longer, it is not always fatal.

This is good info.
Today is the second day with our first puppy (7 week basset hound). The pooing after eating is helpful info. He has had a couple of accidents, but we generally get him outside before he goes, and now maybe we can prevent future accidents. As for peeing, he seems to pee every 10 minutes unless he is on the couch or in the bed.
Last night was his first night by himself in the crate and he cried for three hours straight. We finally gave up and brought him into the bed with us. He actually did fine all night. Only had to go once (around 3 a.m.) before it was time to get up for the day.
Take Drive Only?...good info
I was going to suggest maybe removing the hard drive and shipping it and then purchase a computer there and replace it, or save all files needed to disc and then just take those. At least buying a computer you would have something to show for your money. Attached URL has some interesting information that might be worth considering. In the left hand column, where it says moving to spain, click on "What to take" and it gives some computer info.
good info but what does it do to your credit score?
I basically did what you are doing but on my own. I owe a lot. My credit card companies wouldn't work with me as far as lowering my previous rates so I investigated and found a site that lists all the current 'deals' with other cards and did balance transfers. Let me tell you for one I got 0% for a while and then 3.9 for the life of the balance! I still can't believe it. Another was 0% for like 18 months and then 8.9 for the life of the balance. So I'm proof it can be done! You do need near perfect credit though to get these really good deals but it's worth the little bit of work involved for those who do pay on time and are just tired of paying those high interest rates :)
Thanls for the good info, Cat, I thought
it was last night, had my grandson out there, was real clear, then I got the right date....Duh Grandma tried, we will try it again tonight!
search archives - there was some really good info about this a month or two ago. nm

good info on aluminum and other modes of cooking

me to find the sheet music :)
Some info for you

Thank you for the info.
I just registered and I appreciate your response. I'm sure my husband would love for me to have more of a sex drive. ;)
Gee. thanks for the info! I appreciate it! nm

Needing this information depends on if you need to use both of your incomes. If not, i would not worry about getting this letter. All mortgage companies are different in what they require. I would just try to use your previous 1099. I am sure the company would not have a problem writing this letter though if needed. If you just explain to them what it is needed for. I am sure you would not be the first person to ask of this.
I don't own a TV but get info from the net

Thanks for the info but not really getting that much
No matter what the cost of the property sold, the rate I am paying (as others would do) is less than $3,000.00! When you take into consider the previous realtor I had was charging 10% of the total amount, I am coming out smelling like a rose. I tried to tell my relative the earnest money was like down payment but apparently not being believed. Their son was selling some property without a realtor and they got up front and got to keep around $500.00 from a sale that did not go through but mine, I told her, was different. Thanks!
Thanks so much for the info!!

Thanks so much for this info..
am sitting here wondering why did I not think of that! I think there is a new walk in really close to me, in fact. I have fibro, like I said and I am 1 big ache to start with with pain in the legs, arms, shoulders but this most excruciating pain right now is in the ribs, not more 1 side than the other, almost unbearable. I once again appreciate so much the helpful thought!
Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the info..
Going to try it out.

She's been on BCP for around a year now...not for contraception initially...for dysfunctional bleeding. Thankfully though, she's somewhat protected. But you know, pregnancy isn't what scares me the most, it's a deadly disease that she could contract...it's a disease that could leave her unable to have a child when she does meet the man she wants to marry. I just feel like crying, she's my little girl...
You don't need a cop to get that info. - sm
It can be found on the internet (for a price) if you know where (Florida) and how to look.
Hey, thanks for all the info
I especially like the part where you say, "I'll be firing AT&T for the phone service." . . . sounds REALLY good about now. Have had a few problems since "the change", and seems they always want to have me try to discuss the issues they are causing with their employees overseas. All I got ta say about dat is . . . taint gonna happen.
Huh? What was that? I need you to transfer me to someone in the United States! LOL!
Thanks again!

My son is 8, he's in 3rd grade.
He can concentrate for hours on videogames. We spend all of our time together, except for the hours he is in school. Of course, I'm a SAHM MT, so that makes for more time for us. He talks nonstop to everyone, everywhere, all the time. However, my dad and my DH's dad do the same thing, so that could be inherited!
I'm not sure if ADD is the right word here, but don't know how else to describe it. He's not behind by any means in school, however the thing is, it takes him twice as long to complete *jobs*, as his teacher puts it, than the other kids. I know from my experience with him and homework, and it's like pulling teeth sometimes to get one worksheet done. He's just extremely social, I guess. He can't sit still. He has a hard time focusing, I do know that much.
Medication is the last thing we want to do (yes, his father is VERY involved in his life...we are an intact family). I'm thinking about taking him to his ped's office just to talk about some things we can try. I don't want him labeled with anything unless we know for sure he has it. I'm just exploring options right now.
Thanks for the advice and responses y'all, keep 'em coming!
Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the info!
I thought there would be more restrictions but I guess it is more or less common sense.
Thank you for this info!
We have been tangling with FAFSA since my daughter graduated high school in 2004 but the school that she goes to is less than helpful in giving out information. I have learned more from you than all of the financial "experts" we have spoken to. Thank you for posting!

He's worked for this company for 11-12 years, however they just moved across town in July, so he's been driving since then. He absolutely hates the drive, comes home tired and cranky every night. And by apartment, I did mean one of those weekly hotel-thingies.
thanks for the info
Thanks a lot - I am kind of leaning toward the Monte Carlo but will do a lot more checking before deciding. . I do think it would be best to stay on the strip.
thanks for the info
Thanks guys. Glad to hear there are some happy people out there. I'm looking forward to knowing all there is to know and getting on with the every day stuff. Happy New Year.

I definitely need to lose the plastic hamster cage. It has metal slats on the sides and all of their bedding gets pushed out all over the floor. Who ever thought that was a good idea. I wish they would have warned me at the pet store.
BTW, three days after we got them, one of them chewed its tail off or one of the others possibly did it. Ever heard of that?

The dinner is going to be at a 5-star resort in CA. Of course, he hasn't gotten me much info yet. He'll wait til the last minute, as usual. I don't know anyone else to call that may know for sure what this event is like, but it sounds maybe *swanky* but not black tie...thanks for your response though!
Thank you for the info...
Her mom called me again a little while ago. Just wanted to chat. I know she will come around on her own. I will respect her wishes to be left alone. It just baffles the heck out of me.
more egg info
I had a friend from England and she always stored her eggs in an egg basket on the kitchen counter! She said that's always been the way they did it in England. I was amazed she wasn't dead of some kind of horrible egg bacteria poisoning.
Thanks for the info!

Thank you so much for the info..sm
This little one is just a sweetheart! She is an absolute doll. I just feel so bad for her when she cries and cries. When we first brought her home she was given an anxiety medication to help her calm down and to help her deal with the coughing. She would cough so much she would get out of breath and then couldnt get enough air in. At one point she was in ICU for respiratory distress. We have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and he just loves his basset sister! He is always trying to love her and make her feel beter and they sleep together all the time. My daughter made a sign over their pet bed that says King Monroe and Queen Zoey sleeps here!
Anyway, thanks for the info. I appreciate it!!
Thanks for all the info cat, unfortunately
it is snowing here and the entire sky is gray. I doubt we will get to see anything but we are certainly going to try.
thanks for this info! nm

Thanks for the info sm
I think my husband could probably change those too, but $100 each bearing, and it's happened several times to you, that would get really aggravating. I'm considering a different vehicle, possibly. I like my car alot, but if this is something that could be ongoing, i don't want the headache. we have a 1994 dodge dakota that we bought brand new and he maintains it and we never have problems with it. i just think some of this new technology on the cars isn't so great.
thanks for your info! it helps to know what other people have done. there is a website i found topix.com that have a whole bunch of people on there that have had this problem and some of them said what they did to help the problem.
thanks for info sm
i don't even have credit cards to some of these accounts that are open. i think i will end up closing some of them. i think there are at least 10 or so of these credit card accounts that are open on my credit report that i don't use at all and haven't used for many years.

First, her name is Dixie Lucille...she's precious!
Second, I am in no way expecting her to be fully potty trained by now, my thing is she poops in her kennel, then gets it all over herself. She goes out at least every hour on the hour. She eats at 7, 12, and 5 every day, then goes out to potty, walk, etc. We did not get her from a *breeder* per se, a neighbor had pups so we got one from her. She was kept outside when she was with her family.
We do the whole praise and treat thing when she goes outside. We play with her, we walk her regularly...I am a bit impatient by nature, guess that's something I need to work on.
Anyway, thanks for all the advice. I'm not ready to give her up yet. Our 9 YOS loves her, which is a HUGE accomplishment for him, as he has always been afraid of dogs, but like me, fell in love with her when we saw her. My DH always wanted a Basset, so held out until he found one. She's a sweetie and I know her accidents are not her fault...I just hate cleaning up the mess and having to wash her off again and again. I'll keep y'all posted on her (and my) progress!
Where do you go for this info?
I have been doing research and I found my grandfather's family that I had been told we all deceased, but I have a really hard time finding information. WOuld you mind sharing what resources you use to find things? I would really like to research more but I end up frustrated that I can't find anything. They always tell me there's stuff but then they want more and more money and I don't know how to research without spending a pretty nickel.
Thanks for the info.
I heard the unplug thing on the radio, several times. It wasn't just a talk show but like a public service announcement format so I thought it was legit. They didn't say anything about lights on the appliance but that makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up. :)
Thanks. I got info from 2
credit companies but I must have answered wrong on another as it told me it was going to mail me something. My take was that it did not believe I was who I was. Anyway, I have 3 negs. Unfortunately the oldest won't drop off until 2010. Seems like a lifetime away. Also, 2003, when it happened seems like a lifetime ago. LOL. I have never had any foreclosures, repos, bankrupsies, just payments over 30 days late. I kind of worry now if I would ever be able to buy a car or house with that. I don't plan on financing anything right now but maybe in the future. I don't know my credit score as it said I had to pay for that.

Thanks for all the info!
I think we have all the sockets covered by furniture (tiny living room!) and I'm going to steam clean the carpet this weekend because I remember her mommy telling me she's gotten to the stage where she'll put ANYTHING in her mouth, hair, dirt, etc.
Thanks for that info.

Where do you get your info?....sm
The dictionary I looked in said as an adjective it is stupider, stupidest. It did not say anything about more stupid or most stupid.
thanks for info.

Thanks for the info...
I'll check it out...I just really hope it's nothing. I'm trying to stay positive. We would all be lost without her. She is young, just turned 47, and I want her to be there and to see my children grow up. I am just hoping and praying for the best.
thanks for the info - people have also been going to
here's some info is anyone is interested sm
