Crossed fingers, crossed toes, crossed eyes
Please keep us advised and we just hope for the best!
I have it on several toes....
I wondered why the ends of my toes hurting and the nail place I go TRIED to blame on closed in shoes but I usually wear berkie sandles year round and open toes, cant remember the last time I had on just regular shoes without toes showing.
It always happens in same toes or
on the very outside border of my left foot. It is never the great toe, norr the 3rd toe down but 2nd toe right next to big and then toes 4 and 5 plus the border. I would not call them crampy but I know well not to walk on them because they would hurt if I do. This comes and goes, not there all the time but strange.
Yoga toes - sm
Has anyone tried this "gadget"? From what I have read, there are many positive comments but I am still skeptical and the price seems too high.
yoga toes
They are worth every penny if your feet ache at all or if you have bunions or if you just want to relax. I thought they were expensive too until I used them. They actually make your feet feel better. Not a gimmick.
Stepped on a lot of toes when I stated
about how these posts come across, i.e. women stating how to take time of the baby, soccer time, cooking, doing the clothes, etc. and still complaining about not being taken as professional. Well, duh. As you stated, the perception is doubled when working from home your life is a bunch of bon-bons. Just the other day was told by a friend I could wear my PJs if I wanted to while working. That is definitely not something I do but the perception is there regardless and then the MTs come on here oh woe is me, what will I do with Jr. while I'm working. They should have to do the work like your grandmother years ago and probably would be grateful to have the opportunity to be at home and really keep their attention on their MT work instead of moaning and groaning. If you have to do your housework while working, do it and don't moan about it. Comes with being a mother and working at the same time.
Someone suggested trying spraying Clorox on toes daily

Can you describe the scrunch you do. Do you mean pull your toes and ball up your foot or what. nm
:
yes, and now they stay off cuz my fingers are swollen
lol...working me like a dog.
Keeping my fingers crossed that
Sanjaya's number will be up 
Eeeek! (crossing my fingers against PG!)
LOL
I guess you know because it is not your fingers you are losing, NM

I have osteorthritis in my hands & fingers. - sm
Also getting it in hip. For the most part, I would say the pain has come on gradually, increasing in each joint over a period of a couple years. Only exception was my right thumb. It has severe OA, which gave me no trouble 'til one evening when I was at my mom's, I was bored, and I texted a bunch of emails to my friend on my cellphone. The next day my thumb ached like crazy. With rest it felt better, but never did go back to baseline.
The quality if the pain is usually not sharp, more like dull ache that varies in intensity. Occasionally, though, moving the affected part in the wrong way (especially turning my hip & thigh inward) can cause a sharper jolt.
Without x-rays & a doctor exam, you probably won't know for sure what it was. As the other poster said, there could be some kind of an acute injury, or even a muscle spasm. But then again, it's always possible there is arthritis in the hand that was quiescent until now.
Now that I know it's not an acute injury, I find heat and gentle stretching to be of help. Also NSAIDs for when it flares up. Most importantly, I keep the part moving. The hip bothers me when I run & do other vigorous exercise, but I find I can warm up, work through the pain, and it ultimately feels better afterward. WARM-UP is the key.
Same with the ouchy thumbs, especially when typing. I keep my workspace warm (I don't use (or even have) AC in hot weather). In cold weather I keep the room war and use typing-gloves.
I would keep an eye on the hand, try to take a few days off from typing, or anything else that makes it worse. Try researching the symptoms online, and if there's no improvement within a reasonable amount of time, since you're an MT and need your hands to make a living, I would self-refer to an orthopedist or a hand specialist. Still, try giving it some time & rest. It could be you were working really hard up to that point, and upon making a sudden, possibly slightly awkward movement while reaching for the cup, the muscles in your hand cramped up. I find that kind of pain to be worse than a fracture!
Take care!
No kidding. I'm not typing my fingers
to the bone for a week or two straight just to buy a freakin' purse! Maybe if I was a CEO or something, but not on my MT pay. Or maybe if I was an MTSO, LOL...
Boys wrap their moms around their fingers too
Apparently you, for example......I know moms of boys and sometimes I think some of them are delusional about their *boys/men*.....I don't know - I surely just don't get it.....as much as I try to get it.....
And yes, I could type minus first joints of fingers. It

yeah, why don't you just snap your fingers and magically make another job appear?

Nana - you are so funny! If only pigs had fingers!! I'm gonna have to try the Got2B shampoo (nm)

Not unless it's something extra that they just want. They
still make VERY good money for the amount of hours they work. 
Sorry about the extra P! NM

We just put every extra dollar
We could toward paying all the unsecured debt we had until we only owed for the house. Then we decided we didn't really need to be living so grandly, and we really weren't living where we wanted to be anyway, so we quit jobs, sold the house and bought a smaller one where we wanted to live outright with the profit. We had a few thousand left so hubby could take a bit of time and look for work. He's an industrial electrician, so he can really work anywhere. I decided to go in a different direction career-wise, and decided to become an MT.
It's not just MTs though I think we are extra prone to it.
I had much food for thought after talking to a friend the other day about my own antisocial tendencies. She said she had a friend who was extremely outgoing whose job had turned into a telecommuting job and she had practically turned into a hermit. My friend observed that it must be even worse for MTs who are the type of people who tend to be more introverted anyway. I thought she had a real point there.
Maybe a mall job wouldn't be so bad, if you have the time. Or volunteering somewhere you're interested in?
Weight gain, I can't help you with....I had to make peace with my big hips years ago. LOL.
And put on a few extra pounds?

I think the obese should have to pay extra for
and let's not forget the alcohol consumers.
Has anyone ever made any extra...sm
money selling things on ebay? I have went through the closets and have a lot of things I need to get rid of. I am posting them on ebay. After selling those things I may open an ebay store with things I may buy cheap and resell. I even thought about making little throw pillows and throws and things. I can make pillows. My mom is great at sewing and I can sew some things. Just a thought. Anything to make some extra cash.
Has anyone had success selling on ebay?
I do not plan to BUT will get an extra - sm
vehicle they can use, but it will not be theirs so to speak. My parents unfortunately treated my brothers and I differently. They were allowed to get jobs while in HS, save up and buy a car which they both did. I was not allowed to work at all with in HS, therefore no way I was able to save up and buy a car. Lucky for me all my friends either were given cars or had access to one that was a family spare. My one brother was kind enough to let me use his car for the whole summer after I graduated HS as he was unable to have it where he was living at the time. My senior year in college my parents allowed me to use my dad's second car (an antique) which unfortunately the brakes failed on. I think out of guilt, and as a pre-graduation present my parents bought me a Nissan Sentra wagon so I could haul all my junk around, and so I could get to work (worked 2 jobs while at school and usually rode a bicycle but it got wreaked when I took a turn to fast and crashed). I am sure that went over like a lead balloon with my brothers but my college cost a third of what theirs did so they could not gripe too much. After that initial car I was on my own, paid my insurance, etc. though my dad did lend me the difference on the money I needed to buy a Blazer in 1989 (bank would not give me the full amount I needed) which was kind of him. But I will not spoil them by giving them a car....my neighor has gotten his daughter 3 of those new Mustangs so far, she is 17, has totaled 2 so far. I still cannot believe how stupid they are.
New information this morning on just how much extra put on
There is a news report just coming in on the hamburger drama. The chief of police said so much salt put on it was actually caked on, looked like shards of glass and not only that but pepper put on some heavily that the lettuce was entirely black.
Working all day Sat. for a little extra money so -
I can afford enough gas to drive into town on Sundays.
Life is Simple:
* Wake.
* Work.
* Eat (when I can afford it.)
* Work.
* Sleep.
* Repeat.
second that on condos. worth the extra $$$
we liked that a lot!!
If I find something to sell or do for extra $,
Of course, if they'd pay me a living wage, I wouldn't have to do that. But since they don't, no way would I ever have any guilt about it. It's all about SURVIVAL.
Plus there are ways of making that extra day
There may be temp work to be had for 1 day a week (a good way to explore other jobs). Or devote one day a week to starting a small business of your own, such as on eBay, or crafts, or doing odd jobs in the neighborhood.
Another way is to spend the day working on the house. Things there weren't time for with a 5-day workweek, like finishing that deck or BBQ pit in the back yard, or replacing a leaky toilet or faucet, painting, weatherstripping, insulating etc. There are lots of things that can: add value to the house, improve heating/cooling efficiency, etc.
Or, maybe one day a week take a class at the local junior college, trade school, etc. It could pay off in just doing something fun or interesting, or in working towards an unfinished degree, or in learning a new trade altogether.
I never mind the extra for shipping, have you seen those stores?!? lol
I do very little shopping at the big stores, NEVER during a sale, and most I do on line every year. I will sometimes even shop from home other times throughout the year when there are big sales, because many stores have the sales on line too, and if you have a credit card they will email you a notice and sometimes even offer free shipping or other deals. To me, it's just not worth going out and dealing with all that madness, it's too stressful and who needs that. Not me :)
Surprise extra blessing today.
We got out of the house and took Sasha to the dog park. In talking to a couple there, we told them how we lost Misha. The husband blurted out that he remembered Misha. I thought he meant from trips to the dog park, but no, he explained he was a vet tech at NCSU, and had cared for Misha on Christmas Eve. I got to meet and hug a guy that helped Misha get outside for her business and who sat with her and comforted her in her last hours. As the phenobarbital was controlling her health problems, he was soothing her spirit. He thought she was wonderful and he took great care of my baby when I couldn't be there. What a blessing God gave me to know she was cared for that way.
Would love to make extra money BUT
I have gone through the initial call with this company, some VERY nice people but the thing I do not like is you have to buy products each month and then get other people involved, is it any different now? The products seem like they would be pretty good, natural etc. Thanks!
Absolutely but if I can stay a few extra days
by just working a few hours each day - I'm there!
OOPS!! Meant 300 per person and extra 300
Sorry, got the numbers mixed up.
Ideas to earn extra income
In addition to your regular career what do you or your family do to bring in a little extra cash? I started a garden this year and it is doing so well that I think I may try for the local farmer's market next year. Not looking to make a fortune but it would be great if it could pay for extra things like a day at the zoo or pizza and a movie.
eBay is great for extra income...
and also to get things on the cheap. I haven't done it in months so can't really you a monthly amount, but looking forward to getting back into. Good luck to you.
I'd pay extra for shipping at this point if they can guarantee delivery. nm

I'm one of the few Grinches here who agrees with you. Enough w/the stress & extra calories in the

Do you think you look better with a little extra weight as you age so your face doesnt look as thin.
Just curious as to what you think.
I just hugged my Golden for an extra long time
I'm so sad for this poor dog. I know it is at Rainbow Bridge and at peace but what a horrible way for it to die, and it sounds as if it's life wasn't too hot either.  I hope it's owners get the book thrown at them.
To poster below, I have seen on TV for heatstroke they put alcohol on the pads/paws which supposedly helps cool them, also cold water on the body, etc. (I watch Emergenc Vets on TV sometimes - love those docs).
Bloody Mary for breakfast, extra vodka! lol

My babies liked them, and ....
I liked them, too; once I got used to them that is. It took me a bit to position them in there just so, in a way that I felt they were comfortable. I used it a lot - much easier on tired arms! I also used a front carrier when they were a little older, (like a couple of months old), and liked that just as well. :-)
babies
Forgot I cannot use quotes. My babies are not mine - niece has babies, I just get to be surogate grandma for them. Wish they were my own, but unfortunately, I am way toooo old to raise babies!!
These are my babies....sm
This is CJ, which if you believe others, would be a evil, dangerous, not to be trusted pitbull. NOT!! He is so sweet. Also the beagle is my Darla. She is very fat and very lazy. CJ and Darla are bestest friends.
