I totally agree. All but one of the dozen or so people (sm)
that I know who had tubals later on developed horrible menstrual problems. Many ended up with a hysterectomy 10-15 years down the road.
I'm not sure the doctors recognize or admit a connection, and I admit my info is anecdotal, but it was enough for me to decide I didn't want to risk it.
Never declawed any of the dozen cats I have had over my lifetime - sm
It is rare, in my opinion, that a cat cannot be trained to claw in appropriate places and not on furniture, etc. Are you providing good places for the kitty to claw, such as a nice scratch post (mine really love the sisal rope kind)? They also love those simple cardboard inserts that are in the Turbo Trackers and the Alpine Scratcher. When I get a new kitty I direct them to the appropriate places to claw and lavish praise. These acceptable places need to be some place you pass by often because the kitty wants you to be there when they are good. Mine run to the scratching posts because they know I am going to lavish praise on them. :-) If they claw somewhere they are not supposed to I immediatly squirt them with a water bottle set to stream. Something called a Scat Mat also keeps them away from the inappropriate places should they want to test you further. I have had young kittens, adult cats, you name it, and not a single one of them could not be trained to scratch where appropriate. I also have nice furniture (even leather). I would only declaw after I had exhausted all other options and it was a choice between that and giving up the cat. Just my two cents, for what it is worth. :-) Let us know what you decide. Best of luck!!
Any ideas on how to attractively wrap a dozen cookies and/or brownies cheaply?
 I have a large quantity of these to do and could use any tips and advice. Thanks.
I would think it might be cheaper
to purchase an extra lot (or two) than to move your mom.
I agree that they can foot the bill if that's what they want done.
Don't let other people's odd attitudes upset you. People often seem to ask someone else to go out of their way and then act like the one who says no (or I can't for whatever reason) is the one being disrespectful.
You have to be buying the cheaper
brand because at the QT close to my house, about the cheapest, in Atlanta, the price is $2.40 something for the brand I have to burn.
Cheaper Miralax
Costco has it 2 for the price of 1. The amount I've saved at Costco (on drugs alone) payed for the membership.
Where I live, gas is cheaper, and
then you also have the option of running the oven for heat in the event of an electric outage, or being able to still cook even if the electricity is out. Other than that, depends on preference. I can cook on either, just takes some getting used to. I guess I actually kind of prefer being able to see the flame size though...
Disney does consider Nov-Feb off season. Much cheaper. nm

Salonpas is cheap - cheaper still at Sam's
I think you can buy a huge box for under $10. They are good on sprained wrists, too, my daughter gets those after doing carpentry around the house (talented girl) and we put them on and they work great. I use the slightly larger ones on my chronic low back pain and while they don't last for hours, they give pretty good relief of moderate to low pain and last about an hour. And they really are inexpensive. I learned about them in a Chronic Pain Class I was taking at my HMO, thought what can I lose, and found they work well for me.

I pick at them until they come off. Cheaper than a dr visit

Eureka Boss is way cheaper and does as well!!

You could look into the human version of same med. Probably cheaper.

As for tags, they are infinitely cheaper in WA.

yes, this is good advice: It is cheaper to go to the
supermarket and buy the cheap stuff on sale, then plan what to cook and buy the additiional necessities.
We do use our bleach for our pool instead of chlorine (cheaper)...
but never knew about peroxide being so useful! I have one bottle for cuts and scrapes for the kids but will have to get more now and put it in a spray bottle! Thanks!
I got mine of good 'ol E-Bay...cheaper that way!
I didn't buy from the company directly. I first tried a sampler size pack from QVC a few years ago, fell in love, and then bought full-size from E-Bay. I do the same with Proactive cleanser...I will never buy direct from those companies that insist on hooking people into some sort of "program." Crooks I tell ya!
It is o.k. to hire firends to do the work cheaper,
but this lady is crazy! Do not give her any money, a deal is a deal and the husband is happy. If she needs some money, she should ask her husband for it.
