First, in the past year I guess I've had 2 cousins die suddenly from MIs at fairly young (40s) age.  On both occasions, the families have elected to "cremate now, memorial later", only the memorial has not come as of yet for the 1st cousin.  The 2nd cousin just died last night, but his family says they will do the same thing.  To me, this is so disrespectful to the deceased, like they didn't matter, can't even take the time to have a small memorial in their honor...is it just me?

Secondly (and this is weird, I know) , but would you ever consider answering an ad on another website that sells things for a "date"...I don't mean like a going-out-to-dinner-and-a-movie-date, but like a ~~~date~~~ (get where I'm coming from???)  I'll admit, my curosity got the best of me (I posted a purse for sale on the other website) and I was "browsing around" some of the stranger ads...WOW---I was so shocked at what people are allowed and WILLING to put online...it scared me! Is it just me? Thanks, y'all!

I have no idea why this doesn't show up on the Main Board and the Gab Board, so I'm posting it both places  I need all the help I can get!

The pink liquid is Clavamox/Amoxicillin. They give it to dry, and when you get home you add water to it to mix it up.  It has a short shelf-life.  It also comes in pills.

I only had one UTI in my life, which was the pits.  I do know about Azo (I think that's what they call it).  I can't remember if it's similar to/same as the cranberry juice/pills.  While I know many women swear by these products, the cranberry thing was also mentioned in my research for cats. 

My vet is excellent, but he's very expensive (and oh, such a looker)!  It's nice to be on his "A-list.  Anyway, Lindsay totally freaks out when I try to use the syringe on her. She's a total piece of work, but so sweet.  At the moment, she appears to be acting better, but that's not good enough for me.  Y'all  obviously know all about that.  Of course, add the the QrazyQ "wages," as they call them, and it makes it even more stressful.  But having spent thousands in the good ole' days on my cardiomyopathy cat and even taking my "own" radiologist bud with me for her cardiac echo, $ was no issue.  I also used L-carnitine, Lasix, propranolol, and other stuff.  She lived at least 3 years longer from my protocol.

my vet told me last time that moist food is better, but I quit giving it to them a long time ago (3 cats chasing bowls, etc.).  I also read where dry food with sugar, etc. is also a no-no.

Actually, I found some Clavamox pills, but they're expired.  I think I'll try to give one to her, anyway.  It's 6 of one, half of the other, ya know.

Thanks for the kind words and suggestions.  I'll keep checking back here.  It really means a lot! 

I just told my 8-year-old we were having spaghetti tonight for supper.  He loves spaghetti.  He asked me if we had any "Papa John cheese" -- LOL -- he means parmesan cheese.  Sometimes my kids crack me up! 

So I have been diagnosed with an overactive bladder (you know like the pipes commercial). I thought I had bladder infection or UTI starting this week. I went to the doctor yesterday and had to give the sample, but it all came back negative. Doc. stated clean as a whistle so I said what is going on? All I feel like doing is peeing and when I go most times very little comes out. He tells me sounds like you are suffering from an overactive bladder. He puts me on the generic form of Pyridium (phenazopyridine) and says takes these, but states if I finish and it is still bothering me, I need to see a urologist.

Has anyone else suffered from this before and what can be done about it? I am at my wit's end. I had this a month ago, too. I am terribly uncomfortable! The pills help a little, but still driving me crazy! Doc. stated anyone can get this and there is no real cause they they know of. He did mention stress, and I have been under more lately. Anyone else out there got any advice. My first thought is I have something major wrong with my pipes like a tumor or cancer? Any and all thoughts appreciated. Thanks!

but my mother's bread pudding and rice pudding had to be the ultimate!  I just wish she had taught me to make them!

post that. The DEVIL made me do it!!!   LOL!  Thanks for appreciating my humor!

post this picture!  I think you're lyin' though.  ;-)  You're probably quite beautiful but keep downin' yourself just because.  I have a friend who does that and I wanna smack her! 

You want fugly?  Here ya go my dear! 

Especially American Wedding when Stiffler eats dog doo!  These movies make me pee my pants -- speaking of which, my fav romantic movie is Pretty Woman - that's her line in the opera scene when she tells those old biddies "it was so good, I almost peed my pants."

My best friend loves Grease, too.  She knows every single line (which can get quite annoying).

Not because I doubted their abilities, but because it seemed like in the first rotation or 2, they were showing some serious bias to the Chinese.  Shawn Johnson's balance beam was way better than Ying Yilan's and yet her score was ranked higher (not talking about the difficulty value, just the execution score) Even the commentators last night were talking about it.  Nastia's uneven bars got a lower score than it deserved as well.  I'm glad to see the judges got their heads out of their you-know-whats for the last 2 rotations and gave these girls the scores they deserved. 

I do feel somewhat bad for the Chinese girl, though.  I hope she doesn't lose a few fingers or toes over this.  Of course as young as she is, I'm sure she'd recover quickly.     That's something else that seemed strange to me, the American girls seemed very emotional and yet the Chinese - nothing (at least not last nice).  Could that be because our girls have a few more hormones running through them, like any normal 16-year-old would? Hmmmm

My son is 11 and the last few days has had a few "wet farts" -- there's no color to it, but enough to soak through his jeans.  He didn't even notice it, said he didn't feel wet, but we noticed it and so did another child at school.  At first, I thought he just sat in something wet, but when he came home from school with it, I took a second look at his jeans and noticed the position of it was more in line with "an accident."  He says he doesn't remember passing gas.  There's a slight discoloration to it and a slight odor. 

I've never had this happen to me personally except when I was getting over diarrhea.  Has anyone else had this happen without being sick?  Any ideas on what could be causing it?  I'm hoping it's not a rectocele or IBS. 

My cat likes to sharpen her claws on my leather office chair.  I always immediately scold her when she does it and I make her stop, but my chair has got little puncture marks on it which is irritating.  My sister had her cat declawed and he was in so much pain for like two weeks afterwards.  I just don't think I can do it no matter how irritating it is when my kitty scratches on my chair.  My vet offers declawing as a service, but she tells me it is akin to having all our fingernails and toelnails ripped off!  YEOWCH!

So I'm thinking no...

There are 2 kids in my daughter's class of 26 1st graders that can't read, and my daughter can barely read.  We have a horrible teacher who basically doesn't care and refuses to spend any individual time with these kids because she tells you she has too many kids to do that, and the principal doesn't care because the kids aren't at least 6 months behind their peers.  The school board leaves it up to the individual schools.  My husband & I are strongly considering home schooling her since she's learning more at home with us since we started tutoring her than she is at school.

Yet, at this very same school, they have 1 teacher per 7 students for the ESL class of kids that don't know English, and of course  I'm willing to bet that these kids are either illegal immigrants or their parents are illegal since they don't know the language at all (in our area of the country).

It's not right that federal laws require we teach these people our language and the schools have to hire teachers to teach them the language, yet our truly American kids, born of American parents, can't get anything but teachers that are overwhelmed with large class sizes.
