DH replaced the empty toilet paper roll last night.
In the 32 years we have been together, this is the first time I can remember him replacing a roll. Please don't tell anyone else because they would probably kick him out of the He Man Club, which all men who don't replace rolls (and that would be 99% of them) secretly belong to.
This is one of those days where, years from now, I will think back about what I was doing when I discovered it. (Sort of like people do with other significant historical events.)
In my world, this is at least as big as discovering a cure for cancer, landing a man on the moon, or discovering life in outer space, so I just wanted to share the good news with you - because, ladies, it proves that there is hope for the rest of you!

I've sold 125 books on half.com but most were my childrens college text books. I have sold some
t I picked up for a quarter at a thrift store. Old Dr. Seuss books do well. I price them a bit lower than the rest of the pack and put that they are from a nonsmoking home. Half.com does take a small commission but they deposit the check in your bank account monthly.
Books! That's it? Books! I was expecting
maybe some leather chaps or some strap ons by the sound of your post! lol
history is my comfort

There are several to watch and I enjoyed them very much!
You were just ahead of your time!
Checking Your Man's History Because
In Internet Explorer web browsers:
To just check history, click on the top left area of the browser window where it shows a yellow star. You'll see three choices toward the top of that menu: Favorites, Feeds, and History. Click on History. You'll see everything stored there since the last time the history was cleared.
Now, if you want to set the computer to save the History longer than it's saving it already (for example, you don't see anything from last week, but you wish you could see it next week when you come back again...) Do this:
Top Right of your browser window, you'll see the word "Tools". Click on it, and there's a drop-down menu. Look at the very bottom of the menu, and you'll see the words "Internet Options" Click on that. You'll see a pop-up box with different stuff in it. The second one down is browsing history. Click on "settings" within that section and then look at the bottom of the new pop-up box. You'll see a thing you can set to choose how many days to store in history. Change that number to show however frequently you want to check his history. If you want to check his history once per week, set it to 10 days, to give yourself a little leeway in getting back to it.
If your Man is being sneaky and deleting his history, there isn't much you can do about that without installing Spyware on the computer. If the computer is his alone or provided through his employment, you're risking privacy laws to spy on him. If it's a family computer, then you're using it too, and you should have a right to view the history on it.
Anyone out there with a history of Hashimotos thyroiditis? sm
I was diagnosed with Hashimotos nine years ago while pregnant with my daughter. I also ended up with Bells palsy and numerous other problems--almost all endocrine related. I was on synthroid for a few years and then went into remission. I have recently been feeling so tired and run down, dry skin, hair starting to fall out, ect. At first I chalked it up to just being somewhat depressed since my mother recently passed away, but then I remembered the Hashimotos thing. I went to the doc for a cold and asked to have the thyroid checked. This doc is aware of my history, but did not treat me initially when I first had the Hashimotos. He only checked a TSH and that came back fine. If I am remebering correctly I had to have full thyroid panels done and antibody testing the first few years. I am wondering if this doc missed doing more testing and should I just skip him and go to an endocrinologist? If anyone has experience with Hashimotos I would like to hear what kind of testing and things you have to do. Thanks for any help or insight.
YOU are so confusing and your whole life history,... so many
husbands around, fathers, mothers, children one cannot find, I hope you enjoy the.... ....(enter whatever you want)money and take a hike!
login to your account @paypal to see your history. SM
if there is no payment listed, then assume it did not go through.
or you could check with your credit card company...
History Channel and a turkey sandwich!
Every now and again I get WICKED insomnia myself...definitely stress related. It totally sucks too, I know what you're goin' through. Throws everything outta whack.
Tylenol PM works really well for me...just one tablet and I'm out for a minimum of 9 hours. Wine will make me sleepy but really just puts me out for a 2-3 hour nap. Otherwise, just my daily chores and typin' work is enough to make me want to be in bed by 7 and not get up until the alarm goes off at 5.
"They" say to set a schedule and try to stick to it. No naps during the day, and the bedroom is only for sleeping and, er, well no tv and no food anyway ;-) I also use a white-noise machine (actually just a fan that I affectionatly call "noisy fan") and have one of those Plug-Ins in a relaxing scent (lilac).
Being anal retentive, I find I can fall asleep easiest knowing that all the house stuff is done (dishes, laundry, coffee maker prepped, etc) and when I get up everything is clean and ready for the next day.
Good luck with it all...have the hot flashes hit yet?
Especially if you have a family history of breast cancer sm
You might even want to start earlier than age 40 with your mammograms. You can start at age 30 or 35 and have them every two or three years until age 40, and yearly after that. It is particularly important if members of your family have had breast cancer at an early age.
As a former x-ray tech, I can tell you that a mammogram should be no more uncomfortable than having your blood pressure taken, unless you are already having breast pain. Sometimes your skin can get pinched at an awkward angle under the pressure plate, and that will hurt. If that happens, TELL the mammographer immediately, and she will adjust it.
I did hundreds of mammograms while I was an x-ray tech. I always took a little extra time to smooth out the skin and try to make sure that my patients did not experience discomfort. Some patients had fibrocystic disease or other breast issues which made it painful no matter how careful I was. So I tried to work as quickly as I could to minimize the discomfort.
The point is, a mammogram should not be an unpleasant experience. The mammographer is a professional; you should feel no more uncomfortable exposing your body in a mammography room than you would in the examining room of your doctor's office. The mammographer wants your experience to be pain-free and as pleasant as possible; sometimes that may require some communication on your part.
But please, PLEASE have regular mammograms. It breaks my heart when I transcribe reports on young women in their 30s who have metastatic breast cancer. I always wonder how many children they will be leaving behind without a mother.
retired homemaker for social history -
most of us know that would mean dead!!! Like Social Security comes in and does the dishes for us?
Funny! I love the History Channel and...
Dirty Jobs and cannot imagine the drama of living with another woman. Have you not seen how much they complain?
If I knew there was a history of cheating on former wives,
then my opinion would be different. I think that once cheating occurs, it is more likely to be repeated in future relationships. Not saying that this is your case, but it would worry me.
So you can pinpoint her behavior change. What is her history before she came to you? nm

There are books
http://www.dog-training-talk.com/book-how-to-housebreak-your-dog-in-7-days-revised-pp2-215.html
Books
I loved Anne of Green Gables, and I also loved the Nancy Drew books.
Books
I couldn't get enough of Dr. Seuss. My father used to read Green Eggs and Ham to me allllllll the time. I gave him a copy when my son was born so he could carry on the tradition with his grandchildren. I then moved on to Sweet Valley High.
more books
Ok then my kids loved all the Dr. Seuss books and Mercer Mayer books!
Try these books - sm
The God Delusion and God is NOT Great. You are not alone.
books
are there any books that tell how to become an IC?
my son had always liked the J.R. Tolkin books sm
like Lord of the Rings, etc. just a suggestion.
Med transcription books
I was wondering if any one could recommend a good drug book. Also, does anyone have any recommendations for a good surgical book? Thanks!
to sell more books
She wants to create more hype about the books. I agree, I don't think it was at all appropriate to discuss that in relation to what is marketed as a children's book.
One more suggestion - buy the books
second-hand and/or get the paperbacks for those out in paperback. No need to go broke.
Which is better - books or movies?
I never really caught on to the whole Harry Potter thing - it even took me a while to like the movies. But everyone is so crazy about the books, my curiosity is killing me. I don't have a lot of extra money to invest to quash my curiosity, so which should I invest in - the movies or the books? I do know that usually books are better than movies, but I'd hate to spend all that money if the movies are just as good!
I loved them both, but get the books
and then nobody will have to talk you into seeing the rest of the movies, LOL.
Plus with the movies you don't get into Harry's head as much, and that's where you get to know Harry. I can only imagine that people who only see the movies don't know him nearly as well as the readers do.
Guest books are not new
I had one at my wedding 22 years ago. I was also guest book attendant for a friend from high school. Got there early, got to see everyone as they came in and say hi to people I hadn't seen in awhile. Not that big of a deal. Of course, she didn't tell me what I had to wear, either.
My favorite books
My absolute favorite book of all time is Paint the Wind by Cathy Cash Spellman. My next favorite which are hard to find (the author passed away) is by Day Taylor - The Black Swan & Moss Rose.
I used to like Danielle Steele until she started making her characters snooty, but her older books Thurston House, Palamino and The Ring are some of my favorites.
Another good one is Barbara Taylor Bradford's "A Woman of Subtance". Bout a woman from the 1800s/early 1900s who went from being a maid to being a successful business woman. My husband saw the movie and he loved it.
However, I wish I still had the book Paint the Wind. I could read that over and over and over.
Those are my very favorite books ever...!!!
I've read them all more than once and just LOVE them. Can't wait for the 7th book, but I think that's the last one, which makes me sad.
I never knew there were books
I had never heard of the books, although then again we don't have any books stores in our town (except the section in Wal-Mart and Fred Meyer). I have heard a lot of times people like books better.
sorry... books not boooks nm

Unwanted books
The same thing happened to me Some time ago, I ordered a book. In very tiny print, it said we will be sending you books annually or how often. You can review them and keep them for a price of . They are hoping that you will just keep the book and send them the $$$. I did finally call and tell them no thanks.
Unsolicited books being sent to me - sm
From a magazine I subscribe to. They are trying to get me to purchase various related books from them. I always refuse the package and do not even open it, then they send a bill or two, and then it begins all over again. What does everyone suggest I do? This is getting really old. 
Good Books
Is anyone else into medical mysteries? I love Robin Cook and Michael Palmer and actually pick up terminology from them.
I also love Ann Rule - she truly does rule - she writes true crime.
I occasionally still read Stephen King and Dean Koontz (only if it's not supernatural - he's really faltered there).
Lisa Gardner is awesome.
Any other avid readers?
Classics/Books
I'm not really one for the classics either though I did like To Kill a Mockingbird.
I haven't read Sue Grafton or Janet Evanovich. I average at least 40 books a year between true crime, medical mysteries and murder mysteries. I am also hooked on TV shows like Forensic files, FBI files, Cole Case Files and that show called something "Evil" where the forensic psychiatric examines the minds of serial killers. What really spooked me was the BTK killer's lack of emotion. It was just like he was talking about nothing more than an ATM withdrawal. My husband jokes that I just read true crime and watch those shows because I'm plotting to kill him. 
OH! I LOVE the Eragon books! Yes! Get him one! nm
nm
Janet Evanovich's books about
Stephanie Plum are wonderful. They are fast reads, very funny, relaxing. "One for the Money" is the first one.
I would love to send you 2 books. Please consider sm
this. I lost 2 family members on the same day back in March and I know your pain. email me and I will get them out to you.
I know you are looking for on-line help, but these books can be read in a day. Very easy reading. One book I know the author personally, attended a class he taught, and is a very good man. Email me.
Kim
Same here, I actually thought they were kids' books
What is so great about them? I do love to read so I am just curious what could possibly be happening in those books! My 13-year-old niece had her nose buried in the new one all day today she barely looked at us. lol. If they are that good I may be borrowing hers :)
That's why I don't read anything else but self-help books. Guffaw. nm
Y me?
Nancy Drew books
My daughter used to read those when she was young.
Stephenie Meyer's books
called the Twilight Series" - they are really good and I was so surprised. Fun to read. They are now making a movie of these and we are awaiting the fourth book that is supposed to come out in May. Go to her website stepheniemeyer.com and yes, I know that is a weird way to spell stephenie. I bought these for my daughter and then I ran out of things to read and they were really good for a change of pace and now I too am "hooked."
I passed around several transcription books -sm
at the beginning of a semester to a class at a business school for the 20+-year-old students to see various TX resources available and afterwards, one book was "missing". I was very surprised. Bottom line: The bookstore was out the book, and I hated the loss for the school. Actually the bookstore was probably out twice for the book if it was afterwards returned to the bookstore for resale by the student who stole it.
I've read the books (sm)
We actually got HBO solely for the reason of watching this series. So far it is...okay? I love the books but the series is not sticking strictly to them, and is changing some things that I don't think should be changed. However, by itself, I do like the series. Just hate it when they go from books and change majorly seriously big things!!
HC
My daughter had the books and I read them
at 50. Absolutely love them and am going with my daughter and her friends to see it. I was disappointed after I read the last book that there were not more.
I am currently also watching TrueBlood on HBO and absolutely love it. It is based on a series of 9 books and I am on book #5. Certainly would not recommend the series or books for young teens (very graphic in all aspects), but very good series. The series is not following the books, which is a little disappointing however.
I only hope the Twilight movie in in line with the books.
I just read 2 books on menopause sm
Apparently once you miss your first period, it takes on average 4 years for the peri- and full-blown menopause to be completed. Some get through faster, some slower. I'm 50 and have only missed a single period so far, but the mood swings are horrendous already, as well as the increased bleeding. EEEK - this is not gonna be fun!
Google Dr Christiane Northrup; she's written extensively about the process.
Try one of the Christopher Paolini books maybe?
This is a series of books that set off that movie "Eragon". The latest one to come out was called "Brisingr". I have a boy about that age and he loves those books.
He probably overbooks or books so little time -sm
per patient, and it takes twice the time alloted getting him behind. Probably overbooks taking into account some won't show or will cancel, which affects his bottom line since insurance takes a discount off his rates, some more than others, again affecting his bottom line. It is all about money in the end though, that and maybe they have to see a certain percentage of patients to continue being a partner in the practice. Either way your wait time is inexcuseable. I used to go to a bigger place as well, one appt would take 4 hours, it was insane, min. hour wait to just get out of the waiting room. I even tried different locations of the same chain (VA Eye Institute), no luck there. They all stunk. It took a while but have a good eye doctor now, so my daughter and I have a good eye doctor finally that does not make you dread your eye appt anymore. He is about 45 so at least I hope to be with his practice for years to come.
I like Patricia Cornwell books...sm
but faves are still old school--Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes. Got hooked on the Harry Potter series. LOL. BTW, as a football fan, (#1 Eagles fan), agree with about Brett. He needs to retire.
