Oh-so-embarassing but have to ask - hemorrhoids? sm
Extreme burning in that area...is that what a hemorrhoid feels like? I have never had one before. Have not had any kind of activity in that area that could indicate an STD, but do think husband may have cheated. Could you get an STD there if you didn't have sex there? Interesting topic, huh  
hats (sm)
As long as it has something to do with PA, that would be great! If the beanie is plain, maybe a pin having to do with PA to put on the hat?
He does have the sweetest face, huh?
Thanks, PAMT!
Hats off to you!
I think it sounds as if you're doing a WONDERFUL job of balancing career and education, and I greatly admire your ability to do this, especially at the age of 22. I know more than few people your age who are content to continue to live with their parents and play video games all day, with little or no thought to getting a job or furthering their education, so your post is indeed like a breath of fresh air!!!
Hang in their and keep moving towards your goals. If you keep your focus as you apparently are doing now, I've no doubt you'll find great success, not only in your education and career, but in life in general.
Conner Needs Hats
A boy from Indiana could use a boost. Conner was found to have a rare genetic disorder called NEMO, diagnosed at the National Institute of Health. He is currently in Cincinnati Children's Hospital trying to recover from a bone marrow transplant.
Conner's spirits are pretty low right now. Chemo made him lose his hair and steroids have bloated him to the point where he will no longer look at photos of himself or in the mirror. He is one in a set of triplets and has a younger sister. He's pretty homesick right now, his kidneys are not functioning as they should and he's just sick of being sick.
To help boost Conner's spirits and give him something to look forward to, as well as something to do, I am trying to get hats sent to him from every state and beyond if possible. You can go to the link posted for more info on how to do this, and hopefully I have included this link correctly! Conner will have a wall map of the U.S. and will be able to mark where the hats come from.
Thanks everyone!

Hats to Conner
Alabama Hat on the way tomorrow, Roll Tide....God Bless him.
Conner: NO MOR HATS!!!
Hi Everyone -
For those of you who took the time to send hats to Conner, the boy who had the bone marrow transplant, THANK YOU!!
Conner's mom has requested no more hats be sent as he now has enough to never have to buy a hat again!
Please continue to support Conner by signing his guest book. It means a lot to him and to his family knowing there are so many who care.
You guys are all great for coming through and taking the time to learn about Conner.
sorry...pot lights or high hats over the mantle...nm

Hats and a Smile: Photo inside
A couple of weeks ago, I posted about Conner, a 13-year-old boy from Indiana who had a BMT for a very rare disease called NEMO. Only a handful of NEMO boys have had BMTs with "mixed results" according to Conner's mom. Conner's transplant was in August and he's had a rough time with a few highs and lots of lows. I thought it would be neat if Conner could get a hat from every state to maybe boost his morale as well as cover his bald head since it's getting cold! So far four hats have been sent and a few more are pending. I was hoping you all could help out by either sending a hat, or even just passing the links along as the more this gets around, the more hats Conner will receive.
At least check out his web site that his mom and dad maintain updating his progress, posting slide shows, etc. Conner is one in a set of triplets and also has a 10-year-old sister. The photos tug at your heart and the music rips out what's left of it. It would be great if you signed the guest book. His mom says they read it together every day and it means a lot to the both of them. This family, and especially Conner, needs all the encouragement and support they can get.
Thanks everyone!

You could see a plastic surgeon. Don't think it would be too

My surgeon is in Lewisburg....
where in central PA are you?
I heard this from a plastic surgeon also,
that they don't use peroxide much anymore. In certain cases they will use it to clean out a cyst cavity, but they mix it with saline in equal proportions.
Nope, general surgeon.
 Gross, isn't it?! Can't WAIT 'til cold season!

That appointment with the thoracic surgeon
came to a halt when I had what I thought was a gallbladder attack and no, the physician's office calls and says no problems there, however what about the hypoechoic cysts in your right kidney. A scan I had a year or so ago picked up polycystic kidney disease but now with that, first things first and trying to seek more information regarding that. I guess with my age things just start falling apart! One thing I have done today though was to go to foot doctor about what he called "syndrome" in both feet and he prescribed Lyrica and said possibly would help the overall pain all over the body but mostly the ribs. This is the first physician who has said maybe the rib pain associated with the fibro that I have. Thanks for asking!
An orthopedic surgeon told our group at a lecture sm
that it is not harmful to crack knuckles, etc., as it is just joint gas making a pocket that causes that noise. So crack away and enjoy!!
make appt w/your doctor or see vascular surgeon

Ancestry.Com Needs a Surgeon General's Addiction Warning Box
Is to get one of those Ancestry charts online where you put in each person in a family tree. You can then click on 2 people's names and see exactly how they're related to each other.
Bridal shower atire would probably be fine. Find out if hats are "de riguer" for the occasion.

Give me a break. We are in medical records. I am not a trauma surgeon nor am I sm
an RN or even an LPN. I am on the administrative side for a reason. I originally went to college 3-1/2 years, to be a medical technologist (working in-house in a lab), and during those grueling 8:00 classes and labs all day, every day, I chose to get into the administrative part of medicine. So, you don't have to tell me about this being 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I know all about the 24-hour healthcare industry. I also did my intern at a 24-hour urgent care center, again, showing me that I DID NOT want to, nor could I, be available for someone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
I know it is a privelege to work for him and I work Saturday AND Sunday. Tell me, as a manager, do you work every weekend?
I did have one surgically removed from my wrist by a hand surgeon years ago.
He did a real good job and has never recurred. He showed it to me when he took it out and it basically just looked like a little balloon with a long skinny taiI. I had it done on a Friday and I believe by Monday I was back at work again and in a week or so had the stitches removed. The incision is not even a 1/2-inch long. I took pain pills for the day of surgery and probably the next day and that was it. Mine wasn't that large and was given the choice of leaving it alone or have it excised. I thought that I might as well take care of the problem when it was minor before it got much larger.
My chiropractor said his plastic surgeon friends are losing their practices.
At least here in C.FL, plastic surgery is tanking!
Wrist splints. I worked for a hand surgeon and started having the same problem and he put me in
wrist splints. I, of course, got a better quality one from his suppliers but you can still get them at any pharmacy or medical supply store.
For those of you that are large like me....
Where do you buy your large size bras?
I need a 40C and am having a hard time finding anything.
Aside from losing weight, which I am working on, do you have any recommendations?
Well, I have a large shopping bag (sm)
hanging in the spare room closet and have about 4-5 little stocking stuffers already purchased and in there. Does that count?

As a member of a large church I am always around others. We have different sm
groups and we do dinner once a month, shopping once a week (if you can make if of course), movies once a month, etc. Then I attend a Bible study on Wednesdays with another large group of women and we will get together a lot and talk on the phone during the week, etc. This, along with my family, sister, in laws, etc., and I am far from being an introvert working at home doing MT. Been at it for 8 years.
To be honest, and don't take this the wrong way, but as an MT or anyone who works from home, you decide if you want friends, a social life, etc. We work 8 hour days or some of us work 4 hours. That leaves you lunch hour to get together with a friend or 2, after work for dinner, shopping, and a movie, and then weekends for a couple of hours. We all need balance. It is not healthy to be at home all day with no interaction whatsoever. You will begin to suffer if you continue living that way. Trust me, as a former depressed person who suffered from post-partum depression for 4 years (yes, you read that right!), I had to make a decision that I would not exclude myself from my friends and family, would make NEW friends while I was at it, and it has turned me into a very positive and fun person to be with.
I can't tell you how many parties I've hosted since coming out of my depression. My friends call me Rachel Ray with a mix of Paula Deen (I'm leaning more towards Paula), since I LOVE to decorate and entertain and be a blessing to others, ministering to them if I can, lend an ear or a hand if I can and have an "open" home where people can drop by if they need to talk about something. My life has been fantastic since overcoming depression.
I'm not saying all extroverts are depressed, but that was the reason for me.
Good luck.
what about one of those very large storage tubs--sm
you can buy from walmart for about 7 or 8 dollars. They are pretty large and you can cut a "door" in the side of it so they can get in and out. just a thought.
...myself. Actually a size 12 but still too large around the middle. nm

Function of society at large (sm)
I think you are right to some extent. I personally try hard to keep my word and when I can't, I feel bad about it! I call as soon as I know it's not going to work and I apologize. I try hard not to say I can do something if I am not sure I can. I don't make other plans for that timeframe that I have already committed to see someone during. How is that so hard? If someone is "iffy" about something, they need to say "I don't know, can I get back with you?" Not just say yes and then forget about it. I know a lot of people these days who seem to plan several things for the same time period and then whichever one they feel like doing at the moment gets priority - regardless of who else is inconvenienced or whose time is wasted by it. (I know I'm ranting here...making me feel better...haha.) Then they don't even understand why you are angry or why it is offensive...as though you are being unreasonably demanding to think that someone is going to try to do what they said they would do. Whew.....ok, I'm done. Think I will look at my navel now...lol
Have an 18 y/o Whirlpool, top load, large capacity - sm
not one lick of trouble (knock on wood)--got it with the house (it was 10 then). Have all Whirlpool appliances except for the stove; all are 18-y/o and working great. Very reliable.

In a city with a large gay/lesbian population, gay -sm
marriage is an everyday issue. The kids hear both sides of it. They're not isolated in coccoons, and they watch TV and see the negative ads running right now. If they go to Sunday school, then they probably get fed a large dose of fear and intolerance there, as well.
I think it IS educational for a bunch of SF kids to go see a wedding, especially if it's their own teacher. They already know she's gay. And they already know she's are real human being that they probably all love.
What they get out of the experience is a very strong reason to question the hatred & bigotry surrounding the issue of who should be allowed to marry, and who should not.
I'm large-chested, but I only wear push-ups
I wear a 42DD and I wear push-ups because even though I'm large breasted, I droop. Push-ups provide more contour and shaping than regular underwires.
If you are having problem with muffintop, though, you're not trying the right size. Go to JCP or Victoria Secret and have them measure you. Oprah says 40% of women wear the wrong bra size.
As far as push-ups go, I really like the ones by Ambrielle, which are sold by JCP.
Maybe she's thinking of large apartment complexes??
I would think it would be a lot harder to stop people from smoking in those types of apartments when there are maybe hundreds of apartments in a lot of different buildings like they have in big cities. I can understand not smoking in a one or two family home type apartment.
Think you had a large garden or orb-weaving spider there! Scary

Large garden containers = excellent idea! :)

PJ wearing
How many of us stay in our PJs all day?
Ive been at home now for about 5 or 6 years - I cannot seem to break this bad habit of mine!! I think it is beginning to wear on me. I miss "having to" buy new clothes and looking nice everyday...now, I cannot seem to find a "good" reason to get fixed up for the day home by myself!!!
Anyone else go through this!!!
PJ Wearing!
Almost every day unless I have an appointment of some type! No makeup and hair in a ponytail! It does feel good, though, I have to admit to "fix up" every once in a while and sometimes I do miss it but not enough to put forth the energy most days.
Found a list, and this one includes broccoli but in large amounts.
http://www.petalia.com.au/templates/storytemplate_process.cfm?story_no=257
I have been wearing them for years and
was told by orthopedic guy to wear those or Clarks and I have worn and love them. These last ones I got have killed my feet though and I have a problem on the outer side of the foot hurting. I looked up the Crocs someone suggested and those looked pretty comfortable, might try those. Might have touch of peripheral neuropathy, never know when the feet are going or not. Thanks
Has anyone heard of a 5 yo, nearly 6 yo wearing a bra
bra. She wants a bra. She has been asking me for one for weeks and she won't let up. There were bras hanging in the kid clothes section at Wal-Mart and she begged and begged for one then but I said no. She is not developing at all but she claims some of her fellow kindergarteners are wearing them. What are other mother's doing. Is this a new trend? I don't know. When I was 5 I never heard of a bra.
Wearing Bras
Yes, I just for the first time this year bought bras for my daughter. She seemed okay with it, but she's slightly overweight, so I felt this would be easier than buying T-shirts that are not long enough to tuck in. So, we went with the Sport Type kind that she seemed to like at first, and now I've noticed she's not wearing them. So, I asked her why, and she says she just forgets, which is highly possible, since it's only been since school started. I just feel better knowing she's wearing something, but of course, she was wearing T-shirts. So, what is one to do? I really do not see any harm in the bra. I am totally against having little girls dress beyond their age, but we're talking underclothes here, so if the child is comfortable, then just try one to see how she likes it. My daughter was kind of embarassed as it was actually my idea since I felt she needed something under her regular shirts, since they tend to be thin and unforgiving in her situation. Good luck to you, but I in no way, shape, or form believe that bra at 5 means thing at 10 and even if it does, so be it. I think a person has a right to a certain degree to wear the underclothes of their choice if any at all! 
I just think there could be worse things that she is asking for at 5.
They may wonder what you're wearing!!!
 or what we're drinking  , but who cares! AHHH, the luxury of working from home! I can wear or NOT WEAR whatever I want. That's all part of the biz!!! On the norm, I have to go out and pick-up tapes, so I'm with the post above. Shower mid morning after getting hubby and kids off to school so I can do it in peace, and then if not going out, maybe sweats and if going out, then jeans/shirt. Boy, do I save a lot on WORK CLOTHES!!! To poster above, I am taken very seriously!! I make loadz of money!!! They take me very seriously when I'm making my deposits at the bank. 
Today I'm wearing
