3 to 4 x daily with a maximum of 150 mg daily. The medication is prescribed for depression, but with alot of those antidepressants, they are also prescribed for their sedative effect, and thus also prescribed for insomnia. Pamelor has been around a long time, and in my last 10 years of transcribing, don't recall any physician prescribing it as a sleep aid. The usual standard now seems to be trazodone, starting dose 50, but may increase in increments of 50 mg up a max of 300. I am not questioning your doctor's reasoning for prescribing this, I just find it unusual. I would not be concerned about increasing the dose you are taking. Most medications, in order to cause deliterious and life-threating potential, need to be taken 30x the normal prescribing dose. Hope you feel better.

My VET was the one who recommended it!
Otherwise, animal control takes the dog to the pound where it will surely be DESTROYED for being a nuisance animal barking all the time.

The lady I subcontract for recommended it. I've been a lurker for about eight months and have posted to a few threads.
If she comes recommended, $5/hr is good. That's the

this is the recommended technique from
the book "The Oppositional Defiant Child". Actually, there are even more extreme tactics to use from the book, but you followed the suggestions to the letter even if you never read the book. Good for you and glad it worked!
Corn starch isn't really recommended
for yeast because it can actually feed yeast.
Yes. My stylist said the doctor recommended that if SM
the patches did not work for her. He told her that within three months with Chantix the smoking is gone forever. I know we have a lot of pet lovers on this board, myself one of the most enhusiastic. These poor pets are also very susceptible to second-hand smoke. It penetrates the fur into the skin and they often pay the consequences with cancer and lung/heart problems.
Sorry - meant why they recommended for her child. nm

Mylanta - our doctor's nurse recommended (sm)
You can dab it on the spots. Also what works for us - depends on her age (you may have said, I missed it) is Campho-Phenique - it is not made for that necessarily and doesn't taste great but works well to take the sting out of any kind of mouth sores.
That Bach stuff is highly recommended...
for horses as well! They sell it in almost every tack store and catalog I can think of--I never knew it was for people too! What a riot!
See link inside--my physician's office recommended this.

We had to do it twice, but it does work.
Someone on main board I think, recommended angel food network, which (sm)
I have been familiar with in the past. You might want to check that out as a way to save a lot of money on your food bill.
You can say that about adults but
How horrid of you to feel that way.
Are there any other adults out there with braces??
Just had braces put on my crowded teeth on Tuesday. Feel like I am absolutely the only adult with braces in the world. Everywhere I look I see 13-year-olds with them, but no one in their 30s  But I guess it's better to look silly for a year and have beautiful teeth in the end than to look silly the rest of my life with crowded teeth, huh??
Same here bags for adults
And paper for my children (even though my older one hasn't believed in Santa Claus for a few years).
Big problem in adults
I worked at a hospital about 15 years ago where they were diagnosing senior patients for Alzheimer's. Surprisingly, they found that about two-thirds of these patients did not have Alzheimer's, but had learning disabilities and ADD.
ADD has been around as long as humans, but just given a name and attention in the past 2 or 3 decades.
People usually suffer in silence because they think it's just them, that they have a character flaw, etc.
I would speak to your doctor.
I think it's a shame when adults
cannot put their differences aside for the 2 major holidays a year.
Way harsh? Oh come on. We are all adults here.
This is not a out of the blue tragedy. She sat for two months with lousy paychecks coming in. Why? That is her OWN fault. It would have taken one for me to get movin.
What is wrong with saying get up, get moving and get a job? What is the alternative?
There is no good in crying over something you CAN fix. Maybe the OP NEEDS to find strength now and not be babied.
For the love of Pete!
Adults need one, too. Imagine how difficult it is
for parents who feel the guilt/burden of knowing they cannot provide a Christmas for their babies. I've been there. I know how it feels.
One of my resolutions for 2007 is to pay a set percentage of my gross income to a dedicated cause locally. I'm not sure yet whether I will work with the light/water company to provide assistance for those on shut-off notices (they seem to have less options than anyone else) or help provide transportation to/from doctor visits for elderly/handicapped individuals, but I am going to do something.
I've known 2 adults that had them, one woman was in her mid-20's sm
and the other was a man who was a corporate salesman for the company I work for. Good luck.
meant "consenting adults." LOL

They are adults and can handle it. After all, this is the tradition
with your husband's family. If they don't want to go, then let them stay home. Surely they were aware this is what your husband's family does on Christmas Eve before inviting themselves to spend the night. Don't ruin family time with your family and your husband's family.
I like to use gift bags for the adults
and wrapping paper for kids. I know there is a lot of wasted paper when you wrap, but something about watching a child rip into a package is so fun.
Teenagers and immature adults
have always thought it was cool to "shock" people. Poor Britney lived for it, and ended up flashing her nether-regions and then completely ran out of ways to shock people ... no wait, that only left shaving her head on camera. < eye roll >
And I would hope adults have more sense than that,
99 out of 100 is unbelievable to me. I find his statement ridiculous for people who are considered grown.
1 In 5 Adults Uses Pool As Toilet
Officials: Swallowing Urine-Contaminated Water Isn't Harmful
PHOENIX -- A new study by the Water Quality and Health Council found that nearly one in five adults admits to urinating in a swimming pool instead of using the toilet.
Eight in 10 adults are convinced their fellow swimmers are guilty of such a crime, the study said.
Nevertheless, health officials insist that swimming in and even swallowing urine-contaminated water isn't harmful to someone's health.
"Urine in itself has been purified through a whole variety of bodily processes so that it's removed a lot of the contaminants in it," said Don Herrington from the Arizona Health Department.
Swimmers should be more concerned about swallowing parasites than swallowing urine, officials said.
Last summer, dozens of swimmers in the Phoenix area got sick from pool water, forcing the closure of all 29 Phoenix city pools.
The parasite which caused the illnesses, Cryptosporidium, comes from diarrhea.
Phoenix Parks and Recreation spokeswoman Amy Blakeney urged sick swimmers to stay out of the pool.
"People who are sick need to stay home and remain at home for 14 days after they're symptom-free, especially if they have diarrhea," Blakeney said.
Though city pools electronically monitor chlorine levels, the city of Phoenix has begun to require swimmers to shower before they jump in the pool as an extra precaution.
"Taking a shower allows those materials to rinse off and go down as sewage, and then gets a clean body into the pool water, which is what we all want," Blakeney said.
KeraCare from salons is a recommended one, as is the Jason itchy scalp shampoo from health food

Are they adults? No. R-rate means under 17 not allowed. sm
Easy answer.
We are talking about a 5-y/o here not grown wacko adults - sm
so it is not a diaper fetish. Odds are the child is looking for attention and as stated in numerous posts wants to be the baby again and have all the attention. If the mom can, she needs to spend some 1:1 time with her 5-y/o, maybe at bedtime, story reading, or just talking, or take him down to the corner store and leave the younger one at home with dad, etc. Anything really, just spent 15-30 minutes a day that is his time with him mom alone. I wouldn't get freaked about it. I have 2 girls and the one loves to play with her nipples and stroke her tummy. She is 7 and just exploring sensation at this point. I told her it is okay to do but in private, not in public. I am not making a big issue out of it; not that it is a big issue to begin with.
hold on....letting adults paddle my kid?

I agree. Aren't you married adults?...
This is your husband, not your father. Having been in a relationship something like this in the very distant past I can tell you that you need to get rid of this jerk. Why do women put up with this garbage from their husbands or boyfriends? What advice would you give to a daughter or friend if she was in the same situation?
We're talking about kids; not adults.
I banned any gift giving between adults
when my husband and I got married. I will get my SIL and BIL something, but only because they have 6 small children and they always NEED something. Otherwise, Christmas is for the kids, period, plain and simple. Since I made that rule (when we had 6 small ones ourselves) his sisters refuse to come for Christmas dinner which I think is silly, but whatever. Christmas should not be all about gift giving anyway.
If so, and you are just starting sm
you should know that the newbies do not have first choice, and you should be ready and willing to work the holidays. People who have been around much longer have first choice, as it should be. Wouldn't you agree?
Its 20 but sun is starting to come out in OR
x.
I actually am starting to feel better, and
I really appreciate the prayers. I still have not heard from my brother, though he promised to call me. However, even though he and his family are going through a terrible time with the loss of his wife's mother, at least she has now said that she thinks they should make the long drive and visit us. That will be wonderful.
LOL! I also go to the gym every day before starting work
It gives me tons of energy so I don't need as much coffee!
I am so tired of being fat, I am starting something soon
I am glad to see your post because I am having trouble getting into those size 20s and I am not going any higher, that is too high like it is. I have some problems that I am sure are associated, the main 1 now being incontinence and I mean it is not just a little. My blood pressure is a little elevated and I am sure that would come down with the loss. My feet also give me some problems, probably tired of carrying all this extra stuff. i had heard some about this and glad to know available right up the street. Thanks again!
That's how i'm starting to feel
That's exactly how my hubby wants it. I ALWAYS have to be the one to initiate sex and he will either say things like he'll do it just do i'll hush which ticks me off or he'll flat out turn me down. I told him the other night that he doesn't have to worry about me ever bothering him for sex anymore b/c i get tired of his little smart comments about how i bother him and he's gonna start doing it just so i'll be quiet. that just makes me so mad. so i'm not gonna say another word. we'll see how long he'll go without it.
Girl, you got THAT right! I was starting to wonder
if MTStars wasn't an MTSO 'feedback' (i.e. 'spy') vehicle for ADHI and the like. Still possible, I suppose, but to be able to be a bit nasty & sarcastic (when it's deserved) is truly cathartic. Then we can get back to work with at least a small bit of relief from the annoyance lots of us feel at this profession
Don't know what starting this p-ing match
It's pretty funny really, because I never thought agreeing with another poster would get anyone so fired up. I have friends and family that I can depend on, but there are things I expect my husband to do for me that I would not expect from a friend or even my family.
I think if I would end up widowed, I'd have no problem being alone. I really don't know that I would want to get back into the whole dating thing again. I only stated that when being married works, it works well.
However, I get a definite hostile vibe from you, which I really don't understand. I don't know you, I don't know your situation and if you say you're happy, that's fine. Just don't try to make me feel like an incomplete human being because I say I'm happy being married.
Yes, me since 2006, so I'm starting
to be an old pro at trying to make ends meet. Hang in there. I doubt it can get any worse????
I've been the main support for DH and me since 2006. I'm tired of doing it but have to keep going. A lot of times, I would love to take off work for a day and/or just "retire" but it's impossible. I am now working 7 days a week instead of the 5 days just ot make up the difference in pay checks.
We're all in the same boat this year. It can't get any worse, I hope. At least, hubby's pay did take care of the mortgage and taxes for this year but we have no idea what will happen next year. He doesn't even know if he will have a job to go to, but is looking into other possiblities 'cause around here, there are no jobs.
I think the honey is starting to help....at least (sm)
it is temporarily soothing. Thank you all for your suggestions
Im starting WW today !!! I have done it before and it works. (not OP)
deal with too well and gained some back (emotional eater). This time I am going to concentrate on the mind as well as the body. I am excited!!
To the OP - I know its an old saying, but You gotta Love You first. Ill keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Hope you are starting to feel better Just me seeing that you are not alone
I think everyone has at least one narcissist in their lifetime to deal with. As someone married to one I know how disheartened you feel. They can strip you of any/all self-esteem that you ever had.
I almost always have a cup of coffee right before starting work!
Sometimes I even have another one mid-shift for a pick up!
My sedums are just starting to flush
with bloom color. My Plumbago is in full bloom, but not sure if you can grow that as a perenniel there. Little pink groundcover is blooming, possibly rock cress. The coleus looks great. Impatiens still going strong. Pentas and salvias are beautiful, as is the white vinca. Many goldenrods are doing well. But I'm down here in NC, zone 7b.
Tell me point A to B, where starting and where ending?
Almost certain other routes I know he could take.
Yep - I think it is consistency and starting early! (sm)
I am not 100% opposed to spanking them if they were to just refuse to listen to me, but it doesn't come to that. It did a few times when they were very young and I taught them off the bat that they were not going to win. I'm the mom!
American Idol is starting soon and I
am hopeful this year it will exceed what we saw last year. I have been a faithful watcher ever since it first came on several years ago. I am disappointed to hear that perhaps some of the contestants might be able to do other things, such as playing guitar, piano, etc. as part of their act. This started as and should remain a singing contest. I always make sure my getting off time corresponds to the time AI starts. Sooooooooo excited.
I'm actually starting to think that is could be hard water.
It's very strange. Some days, my hair will feel thicker, and then some days it will feel really thin. This has never happened to me before! It literally just started this past fall after I turned 26. Maybe it's just stress, although I don't have that much. I do take a multivitamin every day and have for the past several years. I also tend to eat really healthy and drink a ton of skim milk! I'm starting to think that maybe it is just stress. Also, I'm wondering if it could be hard water in my house causing it when I shower. When I first noticed this around October, it was while I was washing my hair in the shower and I started pulling strands of hair out like never before. I guess that is really something to consider. I do live in a much older house.
Age of starting depends on a lot of things sm
My husband's cousin started when she was 10 while my niece, who is 6 months older than her, did not start until she was 13. Family genetics make a difference; if her mother was younger, she would likely be younger. Body fat makes a big difference also. DH's cousin is not fat but a little chunky while my niece is very slim. My own DD is 11 and has not started yet and is built more like my niece.
As far as what to have on hand, I would ask her mother what they have at home so she has what she is used to there.
