I dont have wood heat but gas forced air. I also do not have a canine allergist available in this area. I can look up one in a nearby city. That is a good idea.

I am at wit's end with this poor thing. Awhile back the itching was so bad during the night that I just laid down on the floor with her and rubbed her belly to make her stop itching until she fell back to sleep. This is so sad for us.

Thx, again, for the specialist idea. Will look into that.

Thanks Patti. sm
Even though I have done my own taxes, I did not see the part about penalties if over a certain amount. I will have to check again this year. I owed over 5K, so that is probably why then. I REALLY appreciate your advice. I do not have a spouse to over withhold, so I am on my own, on that one. I will no doubt owe about that much again this year. My penalty was 129.00 last year, so will probably be the same this year. It is still easier for me to pay one lump sum than to bother with those pesky quarterly payments. I always forget about them anyway. I am a good saver, so I always have enough to pay my taxes.

Thanks again for your help. You always seem to have the right answers! Have a good night.

Thanks Patti..sm
this is good to know, as I did not know that I was even eligible to collect SS from him because we were divorced. I have worked my whole life, since age 18, and I am 57 now, so it will be a while yet before I get to SS age. My best years for income have been in the last five years and when I get my SS statements, my allowable benefits are getting better. I am no longer afraid that I will not be able to survive and may have to work until I am 100, but knowing I can get partial help from his SS is a help too. Thanks again, for all your help!

Agreed, Patti.
My first hubby was a good friend but we never should have gotten married. We did produce a wonderful son so we were determined not to be acrimonious for his sake. After the divorce, we were better as friends, and my second husband and I are friends with him and his second wife and hang out occasionally. As a matter of fact, they stood up for us at our wedding. My son wins. There's no reason to be enemies that I can see!

Patti, my retirement age is 67
not 64, not 66 and I think they are going up on the age requirements as I speak. As you probably know, folks living longer now and that is the reason behind that. I can draw social security now in 1 year and 10 months. Can we say goody, good and hope those fingers hold out!

I agree with Patti 100%, and my cats never go outside.

Check into a papillon as well, Patti.
We got a papillon, and he's awesome. We got him at 6 weeks, he's 3 now. They're very friendly, weight about 8 pounds, and are very adaptable. They're also very smart dogs, and don't need a lot of space or a lot of exercise requirements. Ours is litter-trained (yup, they make litter for dogs). He goes on trips with us and is loved by everyone. Hopefully, his picture will show up here--his name is Auggie. It's a then and now shot. :-)

Patti you are so knowlegeable about this sort of thing--sm
and now I have a question. What if husband dies before reaching SS age, can the wive-ex-wife still collect on spouses SS when she reaches SS age? (We were married for 13 years..He remarried and they were married for 10 years. I have his three children. He took his own life at age of 58, two years ago). Does this make any difference?

thanks for your help!

I was reading about this yesterday to settle an argument, and Patti is exactly right.

patti - read my note above - has anyone talked to you about membrane stabilizers?
I did pain management clinic for years and chronic herpetic neuralgia was often treated there with Neurontin (and other) membrane stabilizers. You might check it out.
