In Reply to: Eye exams - sm
so that would mean a yearly exam if you want to get new glasses, or contacts. I don't have a problem with it. Now before I had insurance I only went every couple of years, but luckily it was added to my husband's insurance 3 years ago, so now going yearly....I am 43 so on the cusp of bifocals....have been squeaking through so far but next year may not.

Can I tell you how good santa (or should I say God) was to me this year? sm
I received many gift cards and gifts. I received the gift of unconditional love from my children. I received the gift of friendship this year from my best friend who cries when I cry and will keep my secrets with her until the day she dies. My mom is in my life now and is spoiling me ROTTEN. She came into some money and has used a lot of it on my family - making up for lost time as we did not get along well while I was growing up and then I moved away.
All of these are great, great gifts. I was also given the gift of health. I was the worried mom from a few weeks ago who was asking about abnormal mammograms and lumps. I am 33 years old. Today, I nervously received a digital mammography (my first digital one). My doctor went ahead and scheduled me for an ultrasound too this time (I've had both already). After the mammogram this morning I was waiting to head to ultrasound when the tech came in and said the films look great and no need for ultrasound. God is soo good. Of course, she said my doc will receive the formal report in about a week, but still. Isn't that awesome news?
The most ironic thing about all of this? I am not deserving of any of it. None of it. I know there are so many others who are in such pain this year and for that I am truly, truly sorry. May you find peace, health, happiness, and a close relationship with God this year. I look forward to the coming year. If you don't have God or find Him, may you have love in abundance this year. All of you.
Not a good year or Christmas...
...yep, I'm feeling sorry for myself. I didn't receive a single Christmas card or gift. My only child and I decided to forego gifts for each other and just concentrate on providing gifts for my granddaughter. A friend said she would call last week and we'd go to lunch, but I never heard anything else from her. Makes me realize I really have no friends and am not worth remembering. Just a card would have made me feel better.
On top of that, I fear I'm going on such thin ice with both of my part-time jobs that I'm afraid every day I go in, I'll be called into the supervisor's office and fired. I just can't keep up with the transcription as well as the other part-time person has done. I'm in debt--really have not had a good-paying job in 2 years and things have built up on credit cards. I used to think I was pretty intelligent--but now have doubts about that, even. I'm ashamed about my predicament and have avoided people for over a year, so I'm sure that's part of my isolated feeling. What can I do?
I have a prescription for this and
on my bottle it has warning about the possibility of causing dizziness or drowiness.
Is that only prescription?
Thanks
No, have to have prescription and
out before long. The person in the article used to work for a plastic surgeon who asked her to give it a try. They had the before and after and like Chiapet says below, her mother used and saw what longer and fuller lashes she had. I love it when prescriptions supposed to do 1 thing and then find out works for other things. The lady in article said applied at night to roots of upper and lower and she said almost ashamed to wear mascara as it accented so much and did not want to look "flashy" I guess with those long, long lashes. I am ready for my closeup though!
You really have about 4 good lady singers this year
and the above is definitely not 1 of those! Where is all this attitude coming from? You find the better singers, the less "tude" you have. Enough said. I figure Miss Show it All and the lady in red, OMG like Simon, I do not know her name, are the ones going tonight, hopefully.
Lucky you. You got the one good one they made that year.

Well, got my prescription for my Armour
instead of the Synthroid and the dose is 90 mg now as compared to 150 mcg for the Synthroid. I am so hoping this will give some assistance in this terrible hair loss- anyone else that has a dosage like this or higher and when you were switched from another preparation did your dosage go down a little? Thanks!
How about a good web site for an 11-year-old sports-crazed son??? nm

Along the cookie line, have you baked anything new this year? Good enough
s
Good for you! My journey this year sounds similar to yours
Perhaps we are put in these situations to learn as we do and then suggest these things to others. You will have a chance to be a psychologist. I will still be a quiet MT, but I hope in my changed attitude about things people notice and ask how or why this happened. Attitude of gratitude is exactly the same technique as change your thoughts change your life. I think we all have an abundance of peace in our heart, we just have to learn how to get there. Most of my life I had no idea. I realize now that it is the want or thirst of control we have to diminish in order for peace to flow. And I don't mean lay on the couch all day and expect things to just come our way. I mean change the need for our having to constantly fix things and allow things be fixed for us in the manner of the universe. Anyway, great for you! And I hope that as the OP, we all someday find happiness in our hearts because that is where it all starts, and then like a flame can become a great big warm fire!
My prescription ran out a long time SM
ago (for ADD), but I may go back to the doctor after the New Year for a refill. My life's been utter chaos since I ran out of medication a year ago. It helps me focus/stay on task--i.e., make my lines--,stay better organized, etc. (a nice side effect is the help it gives me in staying awake during the day). I was diagnosed a couple of years ago and although I've felt a little awkward about the whole situation (with doc and with pharmacist), it really does help me. I only jokingly suggested Ritalin to the OP. I know that's a medication that should not be taken lightly.
It's almost 2 a.m.! I better get to sleep as I start work in a few hours! (See? That's more than likely a major contributing factor to my symptoms...poor sleep hygiene!)
Goodnight and sweet dreams!

could be eye strain - might need glasses or new prescription -

Does any one know of any prescription assistance plans? sm
I need help with paying for medication that my husband needs that costs $150 a month and of course insurance isn't covering it. I know that Walmart has the $4 prescription plan for generic medications, but his medicine doesn't come in the generic form. Are there any other programs out there to help us?
Thanks
good article Rosh Hashonah-*Head of the Year*

I also read abuse of prescription drugs.
Legal, illegal- does that really matter how it is obtained?
Land's End is good for suits. Don't know if you can access their swimwear at this time of year

get him a prescription for Chantix. It will give him a 44% better chance of quitting. nm

Bigger issue - a 16 year old living withi a 29 year old and liability
Are you still not responsible for him until he is 18, how can he tell you where he will live? Unless he emancipates himself and he does something wrong, can they go against you since you are his mother and legally responsible for him? I worry more about him living with a 29 year old sister rather than returning a house key to me that is a bigger issue.
My 14-year-old is going to be a mother-in-law (so funny) if you google it and 11-year-old daughter

Won $2,000 on slot machine on New Year's Eve. What a way to start the year. nm

What a difference a year makes! Last year, sm
we had the same problem. Fines everywhere for watering.
Paid $60,000 on principal last year and this year
planning on another $30,000 after my taxes paid for the year. We are getting our house paid down very quickly.
55-year old woman has birthday sex with 12-year old
DAYTON - Gloria Murphy gave children celebrating her 55th birthday alcohol and then had sex with a 12-year-old boy at the party on Thursday, Jan. 29, according to police.
The boy got into Murphy’s bed at 5440 Rawlings Drive, where the married woman had sex with her adolescent neighbor, according to police and Montgomery County prosecutors.
Two of the children at the party ran home at about 6 a.m. Jan. 30 and told a parent they saw the boy and woman having sex, according to 911 audio.
The parent then called police at about 6:15 a.m., according to a police report and 911 audio.
Murphy did not force the boy to have sex, but since he is younger than 13, it is considered rape, Lt. Patrick Welsh said. No other children were involved in the sexual encounter, but some other children at the party consumed alcohol, according to police.
A 17-year-old would have the same goals as a 20 year old (sm)
Only the 20 year old is hopefully more responsible and based on what you say about his character, would be a better choice than someone her own age.
I have a 9-year-old son that sounds just like your 10 year old...
Lately he has been so negative about everything...trying to make him have a good summer and whenever I take him somewhere, he is just a brat when we get home...I think they are called tweens at this age...not quite teenagers but have the attitude like one---LOL
We skipped it entirely last year, and THIS year?

This year will be our 35th year
The first couple years it was literally 5 or 6 times a day every day (more on the weekends). Over time it gradually slowed down (once a day) and over the past few years its been 2 or 3 times a week. Not sure that is average or not. There were times were I felt it was too much and him not enough, then there were times where I wanted it more and he didn't. Guess everyone goes through a phase. I guess because of how long we've been together, now it's just comfortable - nothing exciting about it. Just a routine. I have to make it exciting in my mind and pretend I'm someone else.
I don't know what it is, but you are correct...after awhile the lust and infatuation wears off and you get in a routine. I guess for us it was that we really didn't know each other when we married (we dated for 3 weeks then eloped). Once I got to know him it was too late. Now 35 years later it is just comfort (and amazingly we never once used birth control and never had any kids). My mom still tells me she's amazed at the frequency of our encounters that not even once did I even have a "close call" with getting pregnant.
But 35 years once or twice a week and 3 or 4 times on weekends. Not sure if that is normal.
Anyone have any good holiday dessert recipes? Looking for something good to take to a party. nm

What a good role model you are for good holiday spirit...wow nm
Awesome! Good service is good news.

glad to see you look at it this way! Really good idea! Have a good season! nm

Good Fences make good neighbors
You can get premade cedar fencing that comes in sections. You dig a post hole at the appropriate distance and fill with a bag of quick-crete. Alternatively, you could buy a used fence from a place that hauls away.
You could also get an electric fence, just hook to a battery and run the cord (for retraining purposes) it would not hurt your dogs.
I feel your pain. Roll up your sleeves and pray for some digging weather!
Hey hon, you can have one. There are tons of good ones out there looking for a good woman. They ain&
doorstep. Seek and you shall find. So, if you 'really' wanted one, me thinks you would have one...
All good points, good post. (nm)

My 7-year-old dog is very ill.
One of my two huskies started getting sick Saturday or Sunday. Her symptoms suggest poisoning or a brain tumor. She has always been sensitive to airborn allergens. Her eyes itch terribly if she the dog bed has cedar, and we avoid foods with wheat or corn or too many carbs, trying to keep her healthy. Anyway, it seems the slip cover I put on the dogs' chair may have been treated with something like formaldehyde and she is reacting to that. But I removed it when I started suspecting it on Monday night, and left the window open all night. She seems to get better and then gets worse, even though I'm not letting her back up on that chair. We have ordered an air filter for the living room. But symptoms wax and wane, and they are mostly neurological: squints eyes, acts like she can't see, walks in circles, breathing is slowed, she's very lethargic, presses her head on me for comfort (she's done this for years, but now I read head-pressing is a neurological sign), drooling, forgets to to outside to urinate and has incontience in the house.
Please pray that the Creator has mercy and heals her for us. Misha is sweet.
We are getting my son the PS2 this year,
and that in itself is around $140, around $40 for his leggo set (on sale at that). It adds up.
How about over $500 this year
for your tax return? That is through one of the biggest places we have, not some fly-by-night. Mine are more in depth because of rental, selling a home this past year and my working from home but this year am getting back over $6,000.00 but guess what? I am always just glad to get back any amount rather than paying!!
I go through it every year, though last year - sm
they did surprise me after saying it was delayed a month, I ended up getting it about 10 days later. When it has been delayed it has taken about 5 weeks. The website should give you a date of when to expect it, and that is generally right on the money. As for the date, contact the courts and have him arrested, maybe jail will teach him to pay on time. Good luck.
This is such a bad year
that my allergies are acting up, and I've had very little trouble for the past 10 years or so. Interestingly, my allergies decreased to near nothing after I was on an antifungal medication for an extended period. There are theories that all the increased allergies and asthma are related to they heavy-duty antibiotics we are able to use now for bacterial infections. Maybe these are messing up our airway flora and increasing problems with allergies?
When you say you've been on nasal sprays, what about the asthma ones, like albuterol nad Atrovent? That's what they had to put my sister on.
Hope you get some relief. Allergies are miserable.
What year is your car? sm
My husband works at an auto parts store, and I'll ask him what he thinks, but I think he needs to know the year.
My 17-year-old DD
has been wearing a size 10 or 10 1/2 ladies for the last 3 years. She is 5Ǝ" or 5Ə". My 20-year-old DS wears a 12 mens and has since high school. I wear an 8 or 9 and my hubby only wears an 8. We have no idea where these kids get their height or those feet! Our 15-year-old DS is following in their footsteps, excuse the pun, as well. He is in a 10 mens sneaker and already a head taller than my 5ƌ". Unbelievable. 
I did this last year
If it's the one I think it is, my friend send it to my last year, and I almost had heart failure. I screamed so loud I thought I'd wake up the house. I also had the sound on really loud and never again! LOL
6-year-old
Country MT, you are not harming your son. I am almost 52 yo, have a great niece on weekends, 2-1/2 yo. It is the only stability she gets. If she wants to sleep with us until she is 15 it will be okay! Her only requests as she comes in the door are "I want my bottle, blankie and rock-a-bye." She lives in a horribly unstable household and we are like heaven on earth to her. Before anyone blasts me, I have called DSFS - they are short on foster parents, so no help there. Her mom is too selfish to let us keep her all the time, is pregnant with her 4th. We also keep the 14-month-old baby boy one night during the week. New baby is due 12/18. Baby boy prefers the crib unless he is suffering with teething. My mom has an ongoing fit about me giving Sarah a bottle at all. Sarah drinks the bottle while we rock, hands it to me when finished and life goes on. Sleeping with us comes from her being sick as a tiny infant and not sleeping much at all. I slept with my grandparents when little and grew up to get married, have 2 kids, and am not sick or perverted. Listen to your heart, not negative people. Your son will love you for it forever.
I was there this year, last year, the year
before, etc. etc. From what I see in the casino as you walk in, the place is just below where I would stay, say the smoke filled place versus to I personally saw a person walking into the Bellagio being asked to put his cigarette out by security. I like that. The Flamingo is 1 of the older places - the location is good but it is right across from Cesear's and catty-corner to the Bellagio so I just love staying in a little classy place.
Doing it again either New Year's Day or New Year's Eve
:)
Not a fan of New Year's eve
I guess I'm a party pooper. I just stayed home and didn't even stay up to see the ball drop. Boring, I know . . .
Me too. Maybe that's what the new year is about...
I have been sitting here thinking my resolution needs to be to have more fun this year and worry less. But then again I am not in the party mode either...maybe it's all about taking care of ourselves and celebrating by going to bed early is a good thing! Hope your day goes well. I'm gonna type til my fingers fall off today so I can make extra money to go to Disney (see if that ever happens LOL). :)
