Some good info...
I have a 9 y/o shih tzu with diabetes. The symptoms run so close that I am almost convinced it is Cushing's instead. Just a matter of convincing the vet to do the correct tests. This web site gives a good crash course in Cushings.
http://www.kateconnick.com/library/cushingsdisease.html
My Tazz has all of the symptoms listed for Cushings. I have had to put him on a diet, "low to no" carbs which puts buiscuits out of the picture but we eat a lot of fruit and veggies now and high protein treats. He also takes insulin 32 units twice a day. I was blessed here with a dog that does not mind shots. I actually diagnosed him myself just from the symptoms and asked to have sugar checked. Vet blamed it on stress from an eye infection until I kept taking him back. He still drinks a lot and will eat everything in the house if I will let him. He had gained a lot of weight. He was 32 pounds and for a shih tzu that is a lot. He is unusually large for a shih tzu to start with which goes with an adrenal disorder, but he has lost weigh since being put on insulin and the diet, but still drinks about a quart of water at a time and urinates just that much. In Cushing's they tend to be immune to the insulin and that's what happened to us...took a while to regulate him. He is taking Vetsulin now but will be changed tomorrow to NPH, hopefully which is cheaper. If they have to get needles buy them at wal-mart or somewhere equivalent. BIG difference in price. I started giving chromium picolinate as well, which is really what regulated my boy. I also give daily vitamins and acidophilus for his intestinal tract. Feel free to email me with questions at any time if I can help. There is also a site.. http://www.petpeoplesplace.com that has a pet forum you can pretty much go there at any time, even in emergencies and will get great help from owners, rescuers, vets and vet technicians. Good luck. With treatment it is possible for your parent's dog to live longer, it is not always fatal.
This is good info.
Today is the second day with our first puppy (7 week basset hound). The pooing after eating is helpful info. He has had a couple of accidents, but we generally get him outside before he goes, and now maybe we can prevent future accidents. As for peeing, he seems to pee every 10 minutes unless he is on the couch or in the bed.
Last night was his first night by himself in the crate and he cried for three hours straight. We finally gave up and brought him into the bed with us. He actually did fine all night. Only had to go once (around 3 a.m.) before it was time to get up for the day.
Take Drive Only?...good info
I was going to suggest maybe removing the hard drive and shipping it and then purchase a computer there and replace it, or save all files needed to disc and then just take those. At least buying a computer you would have something to show for your money. Attached URL has some interesting information that might be worth considering. In the left hand column, where it says moving to spain, click on "What to take" and it gives some computer info.
good info but what does it do to your credit score?
I basically did what you are doing but on my own. I owe a lot. My credit card companies wouldn't work with me as far as lowering my previous rates so I investigated and found a site that lists all the current 'deals' with other cards and did balance transfers. Let me tell you for one I got 0% for a while and then 3.9 for the life of the balance! I still can't believe it. Another was 0% for like 18 months and then 8.9 for the life of the balance. So I'm proof it can be done! You do need near perfect credit though to get these really good deals but it's worth the little bit of work involved for those who do pay on time and are just tired of paying those high interest rates :)
Thanls for the good info, Cat, I thought
it was last night, had my grandson out there, was real clear, then I got the right date....Duh Grandma tried, we will try it again tonight!
search archives - there was some really good info about this a month or two ago. nm

Try putting up some aluminum foil.......sm
to see if that will work. I know that for woodpeckers doing this scares them off. If this doesn't work, iF you have a county extension office office call and ask them what they recommend. Otherwise you can call a wild life preserve in your area for advice.
Good luck!
My cat is afraid of aluminum foil --
but doesn't mind vacuum cleaners, hair dryers, or leaf-blowers!
>^..^<
You could put a plastic or aluminum "collar" around the -
trunk of the tree, maybe at about your chest-height. (So the cat can't jump over it.) He'd have to climb up to it, but if it's fairly wide, maybe 1-1/2 to 2 feet, he won't be able to get a grip on it and won't be able to climb any further. It won't hurt the tree, and you can then remove and store it once the babies have left the nest.
Wrap them in aluminum foil and put in a
pan as you suggested or, if you have crock pots, you could put them in there on warm. If your kitchen at teh church has an oven, I would wrap them and put them in the oven on warm, and then replace them on the serving table as needed.
I was going to try grilling them on aluminum foil. Not sure I could turn them. nm
:
Have you tried aluminum foil? Pasted in part of article...
Deterring pets
Aluminium foil is also sometimes used in the training of cats; as cats have an inborn dislike of either the texture or noise caused by sheets of aluminium foil, it is possible to prevent cats from jumping on or otherwise damaging furniture by covering its surfaces.
My DH does all the cooking too! - sm
though we are not the most economical in the food buying, but he can do pretty amazing things with a chicken and is handy around the house besides. Great with electronics (works on electron microscopes for a living), any handyman-type chores, --granted can be a little lazy sometimes but so can I. We both do various home projects and have compliment each other in our abilities. I just hope the kids are as mechanically inclined as we are.
Cooking
My husband is going bear hunting next weekend - how the heck do you cook bear??? (do you even cook bear or do you just make a rug or something)??
Cooking HELP!!
We went to a fundraiser dinner over the weekend that served dressing with cranberries in it. My husband couldn't stop talking about it the rest of the weekend. Does anyone have a recipe for this???
I want to know what she is cooking
too. Now I am so hungry. Shallots are yummy, especially. Shallots, mushrooms, butter and olive oil, some black pepper! I need a fork!
Me and my cooking
I have a candy thermometer that has both celsius and fahrenheit. I was making divinity and the recipie said to bring the syrup up to 260 dgrees fahhrenheit. I was looking at the wrong side of the thermometer, and went to 260 degrees Celsius!! Needless to say, the pan was ruined. I compounded the problem by setting the pan out in the hallway on the carpet because it was smoking, and it burned a hole right through the carpet!
No cooking!
Use whatever fruit you would like. Strawberries, cantelope, pineapple, grapes all work well. I have seen them done with gouda cheese as well. Just cut them up and stack them on skewers. Kids seem to like them, just have to watch if anyone gets the idea for a sword or poker. I would trim the pointy ends of the kabobs if kids will be around. Stand them upright in a tall vase or lay them flat on a platter. Can get or make a cream cheese or yogurt dip for them too which is nice. Also seen them with marshmellows for a sweet addition but I prefer them plain.
cooking
Homemade vegetable soup and cornbread
I did not ask him to do the cooking-
he knows that I don’t and he likes his health anyway. Works for us. I work and pay my share of bills so I think tit for TAT here.
Cooking chicken
I wound be reluctant to cook chicken on an indoor grill. Pounding the chicken will help, but you really need to be careful about cross contamination. Until you get a feel for it, I would cook it on the grill to mark it, but finish it in the oven. I also would marinate your chicken. I love Soy Vey teriyaki marinade. There are some excellent crock pot recipies that incorporate chicken breast. I got a panni sandwich maker and those are excellent and easy. Start off slowly, look at recipies and do what tastes good. Eating out is definately not a habit you want to get your kids into. Just really be careful with raw chicken. When I pound chicken I use a plastic grocery bag. I put the chicken in there and then pound it. It saves on cleanup of splattered chicken and is more sanitary. All Recipies is a great site, as well as BHG.com. Good luck and have fun. 
Well I'm sure she'd do the cooking if she felt up to it.
We can't decide for others when they are going to throw a party, though she seems to be thrusting one on you!
cooking/recipes
Is there a cooking or recipes board available - just curious.
I don't know either but the southern cooking
is the only thing I could think of ...like Louisiana....the bayou....that kind of south??? Have NO IDEA!
I have a cooking question sm
I just made a big pot of soup and I had to add carrots. When I got my carrots out of the fridge they were a bit frozen. I keep them in the vegetable bin and every now and then some of the things in my fridge will freeze. Doesn't matter what the freezer or fridge settings are on. It is a side by side. Anyway, I went ahead and used the carrots and now that the soup is done the carrots are still tough. All the other veggies cooked just fine. I have made this soup before and this hasn't happened in the past. Should I just toss the rest of the carrots. I had planned on using them in with a pot roast tomorrow but don't want to waste my time peeling and slicing if they aren't going to be any good. Anyone suggestions on this one? Thanks!
Cooking question
Any cooks out there: How much rigatoni, red potatoes and green beans would you need to make for 250 people?
Thanks
cooking question
Are these side dishes or in a salad? just a guess but on the potatoes and pasta, which are BOTH starch, cut back and go more with the green beans -- If this is a "potluck thing" take into consideration the other things that will be made etc.
Here again with the beans, fresh, canned or what too many variables -- if it is upcoming I would suggest calling your local school since they have to "feed mass quantities" just a thought
look up Sam the Cooking Guy on your TV listings (sm)
He does recipies just like what you are looking for, no muss, no fuss, regular grocery store ingredients.
and you will laugh alot. (We call him the Blueman Group of Cooking.)
check him out, he also has show/recipe segments on his web site.
Anyone cooking today?
It's cool out today and I thought I might put some ham and beans on to cook. I'll make some corn bread later to go with this too.
Depends on how you are cooking it SM
I mostly do my in the crock pot and averaging on size, about 4-5 sometimes 6 hours. When it starts to gently fall apart (not stab and fork and it won't come out apart), but firm enough to leave the fork in, it is ready.
what r u cooking for suppers?
i'm making bacon and cheese pie (aka quiche), maybe some kind of frozen veges too.
Cute response but he does all the cooking!- sm
See above, I know I am not alone in the man having no clue/too lazy department. I love some of the responses up top though. I'll keep them in mind.
I'm cooking a roast in the crock sm
that I took an envelope of dry onion soup mix, and two cans (hated to spare 'em) of Coke over the top. It has been in the crock all day for me to whiff, hmmmm.... Needless to say, I can't wait to see what it tastes like. I hope hubby and the kids like it! I do not usually use my crock, but I got this great crock pot recipe cookbook last week from the library, well, I think I'll renew the book.... There are actually recipes for cakes in there, too! Could you imagine a chocolate cake with pudding in the middle that you've cooked in your crock pot all day? The book is called Fix It and Forget It! I love to cook, but when there's lots of typing to do, the quick stuff comes in handy-dandy! lol That steak and "stuff" you guys are talking about sounds great!
What's the one cooking thing you've never been able to
I cannot make a pizza dough I'm happy with, and I can't tell you how many recipes I've tried. Regular rise; made in the bread machine; all-purpose flour; bread flour; it doesn't matter. I've tried and tried but I've never been able to get that elasticy dough you need for a good crust.
Do you have one thing that just defeats you, every time?
what ever the Japanese restaurant is cooking up
smell of giblets cooking
My husband got a tip from Food Network this week. Don't cook the liver with the rest of the giblets. The liver is what gives off the nasty odor and makes the broth bitter. Happy Thanksgiving!
...trying to learn like cooking or guitar, etc.?? nm
s
Uh, what? Cooking makes up for meanness?
I don't think so! My husband cooks practically every day and I wouldn't take that crap from him merely based on gratitude for his cooking. I wouldn't go mess up a tool in his workshop any more than I would expect him to mess up a tool in the kitchen.
OTOH, you make some good points about communication. Often it "takes two" to make or break a relationship.
Dutch Oven Cooking
Hi - Glad to see you here again. I still missed your piggy "baby" - likes to hide, I guess. Cold here too. It is really easy to cook in the fireplace or on an iron stand in your back yard or a hole in the ground. I will email you some recipes and look at all the fun you will have! Nothing tastes as good as dutch oven food! Get ready for a new dress size! Your husband will be your slave if you feed him this food, I swear. Have to know, how much is wood a cord out there where you are? It is 492.00 here, and that is horrendous. We used to cut our own and it was basically free with sweat labor.
Applebee's LOL. No cooking just baking.
:)
Its a semi-cooking night for me
First I have to say I love ham and beans. One of my favorite winter food.
Tonight DH said he would like to snack - hooray! so its chili dip for us. Sooo easy -
I can of chile (any kind you like - we always use no beans) and one 8 ounce package of cream cheese. Heat together til cream cheese is melted.
mmmmmmmmmmm - I can eat the whole thing alone.
And you haven't even mentioned cooking!! sm
I notice many of my younger coworkers and children of coworkers cannot make anything that does not come out of a can or a box. I know that's a generalization too, but it sure seems to be true.
What's cooking for dinner tonight?
 I'm thinking tacos with corn bread for me and my fam.
My DH always talked about his mother's cooking
Spaghetti sauce cooked 3 days and nights, then enough spaghetti for a week. Chili for a week, soup for a week. She cooked like it was still the depression era, yet it was the ླྀs. She would grumble about hamburger being $.50 a pound. But then, you have to realize, she was in her 60s when DH was in his teens. He was "an accident".
He was really happy when I made him steak. I still feed him anything he wants, and he likes my spaghetti sauce and chili better than his mom's. Of course, that could be because I don't give it to him every night of the week. Just when he gets a craving for it.
Jenny Craig worked for me - no cooking.
Can be expensive, around 70 a week a few years ago, but I lost around 15 lbs in a few months.
I have a big canner of veggie soup cooking
and it smells yummy. Tonight is a parade in town and dinner at my parent's. Not sure about tomorrow. Church and then who knows. I have 2 movies to watch from Netflix and a newsletter to get ready to mail.
Been cooking hams for a long time
Never took the rind off prior to it being almost cooked, then say for the last 35 minutes or so would take the rind off with a knife and fork, never tried removing prior to baking. I scored the ham (cut in zig-zag effect), stuck whole cloves in and put brown sugar on top of that (oh, remove the cloves prior to eating- my son told me years later he ate the cloves, thought he was supposed to.)
Cooking question using pressure cooker
I want to cook some blacked peas for tomorrow and the peas I have are just loose ones. What I need to know is for a pressure cooker- how many peas and how much water do I use? Sorry but just forgot. Thanks!
Don't let him choose. If you do the cooking, you plan the menu!
At my house, my kitchen is not a restaurant. You eat what I make or you fend for yourself. Now of course I know my family's likes and dislikes and I do take requests, but if you're going to turn you nose up at everything I suggest without offering anything up, you get what you get!
Just started Healthy Performance..cooking involved though.
It has been just a little over 24 hours. I CAN do this. Sometimes it just takes a kick in the butt to get me moving in the right direction and I think this is gonna do it. Good luck to you!
Yeah, she lets pans sit overnight from cooking
sandwiches or eggs and then uses them the next morning to cook the same or she will just wipe them out with a paper towel and call them clean...no way! When she lived with us, I would have to get to them before she had a chance to use them the next morning on the kids before I got up!
