Another possible recall.
Thanks for posting that info. That is a terrible thing.

I just caught the tail end of this story yesterday on the local news. I'm not sure if it is a full recall or just a warning but there is a hazard with some type of Simplicity baby basinets and cribs. I guess the area is too large for standards and the childs head can get stuck and suffocate in the mattress. I haven't had the opportunity to research and find out the full details but just jotted down what I could quickly.
As I recall
what is normal is to begin visits to OB/GYN when menstruation begins.

Girls start menstruating at the average age of 12. However, girls can begin menstruating as early as 8 years of age or as late as 16 years of age.

not that i recall, curious, is this
a case in your family or on a report you did?
What peanut recall?
So guess I'm good to go.

I suppose that's what I get for turning off the news because sick of petty politics. Something really important and I miss it. HA HA HA

But I'm still here and breathing. My only peanut item I eat is natural peanut butter.
Don't want to be rude, but I don't recall mentioning
makeup, fingernail polish or the like. He also takes a shower daily because he likes to smell nice. Don't know what kind of soap he likes and really don't care.  I'm just very proud that I raised a man who takes pride in his appearance and wants to smell nice for his lady.
An Analogy: The Pet Food Recall
Most if not all of you have by now heard of the massive pet food recall due to wheat gluten used in canned/pouch pet food that came from China.  I wasn't affected becuase I stick to dry foods, and because of health problems I have to feed my animals a very good product by Natura called California Natural - they use very few ingredients and what they use is human grade.  I went to their web site and they have a video about the pet food recall.  Turns out the company involved in the recall, Menu Foods, does make some of their canned products - I was not happy hearing this since I have such faith in them - but since Natura does not use wheat gluten in any of their food none of the recalled stuff affected theirs and anyway theirs is made in another Menu Foods plant location from the one with the Chinese wheat gluten.  But it doesn't stop there.  For now they are sending their own quality control person the plant that does produce food for them, and they are going to look into purchasing a plant of their own to produce the canned/pouch foods here in the US.  Also, from now on they will only use ingredients that are from the US.  Looks like they are doing the right thing.
From what I recall from my banking days -
It sounds like you had overdraft protection in place, which means the bank will cover the checks (usually up to a certain amount), but you will owe them fees. They have cleared those checks. No one outside of the bank has any idea there was not enough money in the account to cover them. Be very, very glad you had that service in place! Otherwise, you would owe a lot of money to each person you wrote a check to and could have been put on a list where they will not accept checks from you. Right now I would say to contact the bank to ask about paying off those fees with them.
Royal Canin - recall
Some Royal Canin foods have been recalled, including dry dog foods.

http://www.royalcanin.us/recalled.html

My sister's dogs started having same symptoms you are describing about 1 month before the recall became known, and switching the food fixed the problem. She never looked into whether it was a recalled food, for some reason.

I would put hte puppy back on his original food and then slowly introduce a new food that does not contain any of the problem ingredients. There was a recent thread about foods that are safe.


You do know about the recall on wetting solution
that is causing blindness for contact wearers? I do not know the name of it but can probably google. By the way, I have heard using honey can alleviate allergies. I just heard that now, but worth a try if I had them.
sorry but I don't recall asking for personal opinion
no offense, but I was just asking those with experience on the subject.
It was a peanut butter recall.

Nutro Dry Cat Food Recall
On 05/21/2009, a recall was issued for various varieties of Nutro dry cat food.  This is for all 50 states and I believe 11 countries.  Please check the FDA website for recall information in case links are not allowed here.    The food has excess zinc and not enough potassium. 
As I recall, MOST of my family's photos were
awkward! Maybe I should just send them all of our entire albums!

You do know Royal Canin is on recall list, right??

Hard to recall, probabably 10-15 pounds -sm
in my first pregnancy, was borderline pre-eclamsia, BP was jumping all about at the end, lots of water weight. Daughter ended up being induced as they did not want to take any chances. Did not have that issue the 2nd time.
Scary stuff, but I don't recall seeing any nudity
nm
Yes, recalled in 2007. This is a new recall, May, 2009. sm

Nutro was recalled during the huge 2007 pet food recalls.  This is a new 2009 recall involving the premix formulation in some of their dry cat food.  I use Wellness, Nature's Variety, and Newman's Own canned cat foods.


Actually, I recall my brother and cousin being drafted for Vietnam
and they served 18 month "tours". They were actually in the army longer, but were in Vietnam for 18 months when they were drafted. I'm sure they would have rather not done that extra 6 months!

My father, his brother, and their contemporaries in World War II, however, were drafted for "the duration". They weren't coming home until the war was over. My dad said it was one heck of an incentive to fight hard. It makes me cry to think of my gentle, kind father in that situation.
If I don't read before I go to sleep I can't fall asleep. I will read sm
until I begin to fall asleep. They say reading relaxes you fully and it works wonders for me.

I used to suffer from insomnia, but not since I've been doing this - about 5 years now.

Plus, I've grown so much and have gained wisdom by doing so. I enjoy Christian books and reading the Bible.
Pet food recall -- dog food and cat food

Has anyone read
I read it last week and just wondering if anyone else has.  I thought it jumped around a bit but it was interesting to get to know more about her and I enjoyed hearing about Dr. Phil.  They seem genuine. 
I just read, it's $360................
@
read again
You were so quick to respond and try to tell me my daughter WILL have bad behavior that will make her in danger for STDs that you didn't even read, I said he told me the NEXT day.  Just because some people have no control doesn't mean we all don't.  There are still virgins on their wedding day out there....even though that may be a SHOCK.
I have read and re-read --sm
my posts and I seriously wonder how you ever got that I thought surgery was the only way to go when all I said was that some of these reports were *created* by insurance companies who do not want to pay for ANY care concerning carpal tunnel if it was an over use issue. But whatever...that is not what I meant. All I meant was than insurance companies tend to manipulate reports to THEIR benefit, not the patient's. Surgery or no surgery...that is the individual's choice and not my concern. Sorry you did not UNDERSTAND what I was saying.
you believe everything you read????
/
I have read all of them...sm
and there was one person who said many times that they believe he did this because he was taught anti-americanisms while he was in school in korea (kindergarten, first, and second grades) or had been taught it by his korean parents. Hate has no nationality. That's all I am trying to say.
Sorry, should read
do that....
I read this in SOD, but (sm)
I thought they only tape about a week ahead, so I thought since it's been a week, he might show up today.  Oh, well, I can wait.
Did not read below but if you have an outside - sm
box on your house, anyone can creep into your yard and plug in a computer and go to town. You can put a lock on it, ours looks like a small gray box attached to the house about 8 x 8 inches or so, open it up and you will see phone jacks, it is how the repairmen check the lines, etc. w/o coming inside. Anyone could just run a long line and sit in a car nearby and do it too, but depending on where you live I think this would be noticed. If it happens consistently still check it out, see if some kid/night owl is hacking in this way by getting up in the hours it happens and see if someone is doing this, if so problem solved (call the police obviously if you see this happening); if this is not the case, then maybe take your phone off the hook at night, I would think then they would not be able to hack into it w/o a dial tone. I hope you get this resolved quickly.

that Maine has the highest consumption of Allen's in the 48 contiguous states.

Never heard about Allen's and milk, but I'm from away, too. I learn new things all the time up heyah.

Lobstah, blueberries, pahtatahs and Maine's champagne: Allen's. Gives new meaning to "The Way Life Should Be"!


Can you read
any words like Budweiser or beer? There is certainly nothing wrong with the draft horses working with a cart, and your kids really aren't going to think "beer" when the look at it. If people are going to be over and might think about it, or if it bothers your husband, maybe there is a wood filling product that could fill in any words that refer to beer or pictures of beer bottles, etc. Maybe you could then use stain or a rosemaling (painting technique) design over it, or whatever would complement the style. It sounds really cute to me.
EVERYONE PLEASE READ - SM

Is it something you would read again?
I was just thinking that I could just go to the library, but sometimes I like to read books over again - after waiting a sufficient amount of time so that I forget all the details! Is the series something you would go back and read again?
Yes, I will probably read them again
Loved the books better than the movies, but the movies were okay.
OK, read it again and again, still don't get it...
Must be me...oh well!
I read that to mean
there should be no drinking age like in Europe. Not that there should be no drinking. My two high school kids went on a school trip to Italy and Greece in April. They said the only teenagers getting obnoxiously drunk were the Americans and the Canadians teens were drinking but not to excess. Also all the Canadian kids smoked cigarettes too.
I just read about that!

All sorts of elements when combined or heated will cause noxious fumes and those symptoms.  Even some welders have to wear respirators and breath canned oxygen when working with some metals.  Can't wait to hear more about it though! 


Er, um, that should have read....

"Having your own teeth SHOULDN'T have to be considered a luxury."  I'm sure you knew what I meant though.  Frosts my tuckas it does.


from what I have read this is an

"emotional affair".  You are better off letting it go and finding a friend that can talk to you without it being a secret. 


Would you read....
your spouses/SO diary? Or do you consider that an invasion of privacy?

What if you suspected your spouse/SO was involved in something (drugs, cheating, theft). Would it make it ok then?
Read into it what you want
To your email- I was not suggesting anything- was telling like I said. End of story.
I have them too - read something
cannot remember now - big help, I know.  Look on the internet.
Before looking at a used car read this...sm
Look at Consumer Reports April issue - it should be available at your local library for free. They have information on cars as to their reliability and value for the past several years, as well as recommended vehicles for various price ranges. Be sure to have an independent mechanic check out the vehicle thoroughly before making a purchase. Pay $10 for the CarFax report to make sure the vehicle hasn't been previously totaled.

Good luck!

You need assistance and support.

He is young and does not understand why you are right there but not able to spend time with him. Quality time.

Put him in a mother's day out or a daycare program so you can concentrate on the homeschooling for your others.

Then, when you pick that 3-year-old up, make the next 30 min to an hour quality time for the 2 of you together.

You're pulling a lot of weight here with homeschooling then working at night at home. He probably feels neglected.

If I were you, I would reconsider the homeschooling, put those boys in public or private school, put the 3-year-old in a daycare, work during the day and have a normal, peaceful, quality night with my family.

The kids will grow up but work will always be there.

Do not continue spanking him -- I'm not an anti-spanking person -- but he does not understand and you are hurting him with no outcome other than simple pain and humiliation.


Yes - please do read that! (nm)

Last week a little girl in my community was having a snowball fight with her friend.  Her mom was clearing the snow from the driveway.  The little girl slipped and fell and her jacket got caught in the auger of the snowblower.  She was without oxygen for at least 11 minutes (that was response time for emergency workers to make it to her house).  We don't know how long she was trapped before someone called 911, mom was hysterical (obviously) and kept screeming she was dead, she did not at that time try to get the jacket off of her.  The little girl has so far made it but she is still on life support. 


I am asking for you all to do 2 things:


 1.  Keep this little girl and her family in your thoughts and if you are spiritual then please keep her in your prayers and let's hope for a miracle. 


  2.  I am asking that you please don't allow your children to be anywhere near you or anyone when you are snowblowing. Things just happen too quickly. 


I know my kids are always playing outside when we clear the driveway and we "shoot" snow at them from the snowblower but that will not happen again.  This poor mother has to live with what happened for the rest of her life and I can't even imagine the guilt and pain she must feel but she has to keep going because she has 3 other children at home.


I'm sorry to be a downer on Christmas Eve but if a miracle is going to happen it will be today.


Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays to all.


Before you do anything - please read

A few years ago, my husband went absolutely crazy with credit cards.  I have always been very frugal and careful with money so it was pretty devastating to me.  Especially since he kept it a secret until it was way out of control.


You can try the same thing I did to get us out of this mess he created.


Hopefully you have made some effort at payments or at least have kept in touch with your creditors.  If not, it might be a little tougher but you can try.


Call the card companies and ask to speak to an account supervisor.  Don't speak to someone answer the phones.  Trust me. You need to speak with someone who isn't going to waste your time.  Explain the situation and how you are trying to fix it now that you have steady employment. 


Call the one with the highest balance first.   Ask if it is possible for them to lower your APR and consider giving you a much lower FIXED rate for at least up to 1 year if not for the life of the balance if you also include a balance transfer from another account to this one.  If they say no.  Big Deal.  That's all they can do and, you can call back in a week or so and do it again, maybe not get the same person.


Make sure when you call that you write down the date, time, who you speak to, and make notes of every conversation.  Keep these separate for each card. 


If you are granted the request of extended credit for balance transfer and lowered fixed interest, make sure you request a letter stating these changes.  Write that down too and make sure you get that letter.  If you don't get it.. call them back and go back to your notes from the original call so you have all the details and GET THAT LETTER! 


Remember, you do not want to max out any of the cards. If you can do the above with at least two cards and get everything down to 2 cards or less, you will be doing okay and you will see the debt going away a lot faster. 


If you can swing it, make DOUBLE payments on at least one of the cards every month.  I know it sounds painful but, believe me, I did it even when things have been extremely lean around here and I am so glad that I did.  When you get one of those cards paid off, you aren't done yet.  Put the entire payment you were applying to that card to the next card.  Every time you pay something off, you move that payment plus the minimum to the next one and the next one until you are all paid off.


When you get one card paid off, make sure you call the company after the first statement you get that says ZERO balance and cancel that card immediately.


Remember I said my husband's credit card debt was around $28,000.00  - That was just a little over two years ago.  I have one card left and the balance on it is $7000.00.  The minimum payment on this card is $143.00 per month and I have taken all of the previous payments from the cards I have already paid off and am now applying those to this card too, totalling about $600.00 per month so I will have this one paid off in about a year too. 


You can do it.  Don't take no for an answer.  Just be patient, wait a week or so, and call again until you get what you want.  They WANT our money and they want our business.  They WILL give in eventually. 


I also found that a little hard bargaining sometimes worked.  If someone told me they could not grant my request for a lowered fixed interest.  I would tell them that I am prepared to do a balance transfer today and close this account unless they could give me a better deal.  That usually worked the first call. 


Good luck.


Just now getting to read this
I actucally did make the spinach dip LOL!. About 4 minutes before the game was over my mom decided we should clean up the kitchen. I am a giants fan and didn't get to see any of the excitement. Oh well, at least my team won and my DH chile won.
I also read that (sm)
I also read that they are tunnelers, diggers.  I think I'm just telling my sis to give to other girl - by all accounts, she would be a responsible pet owner.  I'd like a mid-size dog for the backyard - what kind of dog would be hearty enough to withstand that environment.  I just cannot have an inside dog, period.  I have a garage that the dog will go into if it is too hot, too cold, rainy, etc., but majority of time would have to be outside in backyard.  Thanks in advance. 
That's a lie, too. Do you believe everything you read?
