Also to YOU: Fead the whole thread. Do not jump in in the middle of a thread:
You will experience the bad side effects of Xanax, when you try to stop the intake of Xanax. Honestly, don't you notice that you are increasing the dosage on your own?

It is not a sleeping pill, it is an anxiolytic, it is supposed to lessen anxiety.
What are you so anxious about?

Try not to take it this evening, you'll see that you cannot or don't want to.
It is a highly addictive drug.

Another addicted person?
Read the whole thread, not Fead the whole thread, ..oops!..nm

What a fun thread!

well, there is another thread concerning AI--sm
up above that seems far more abrasive and negative, to me anyway. Guess I just don't get it.
There is a thread further down about this.

I had very low BP when I was tired a lot...
went to the doc and he told me I needed to eat more protein. I was not only tired, had low BP but was also cold all the time. He also ran me through the battery of tests and everything was okay. I eat very healthy, have only one day that I call my bad eating day, on that day will have dessert, maybe fries or a soda. I exercise 5 or 6 days also, that revs me up too. It sounds like you are doing really good things for yourself, especially with little ones to chase! Have you been to the doc at all?
someone's tired

dictated:  It is on the right side and it did not cough with clearing. 


Should be:  clear with coughing!


Tired
How many MTs out there are just tired all the time.  I feel run down all the time and I shouldn't.  I do not drink caffiene because I have mitral valve prolapse.  This is getting old feeling bad all the time.  Any suggestions?  TIA.
Thread stopped. (SM)
We're not going to fight over religion or Christmas or Santa or Christ on this board.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

On another thread on this board....

someone made the comment about giving girls a false sense of security and not getting PAPs and physicals because they got the vaccine.  That was something I hadn't thought about previously. 


I was talking about this with a friend of mine and we got on the subject of DES that was given to prevent miscarriages and preterm labor in the 50s and 60s and the side effects that came from it.  I googled DES and the one website has a copy of an old ad that states "recommended for routine prophylaxis in ALL pregnancies" with a picture of a smiling baby above the statement.  We all know how that turned out!


States have made all kinds of vaccines mandatory for admittance to kindergarten, but there are ways around it, such a religious exemption.  I have another friend whose kids have had NONE of their childhood immunizations.  I'm not saying I agree with anything that drastic, but her kids are in school. 


 


it was? I see the thread below...admin says

The administrator just the other day (somewhere below in the threads) said we can talk about anything here except *MT work, politics or religion* and said *anything else is fine* in subject line or name line.



I'm not the one who started the thread but
I posted a reply on another thread about infidelity. I told the poster that what she was doing was wrong, to take a cold shower and pray about what was doing.

Regina (yeah, she uses her name in her entire email address) emailed me about how wrong I was, don't have a conscience, and stuff.

I saw her name here on this thread.

I'm just telling her to STOP EMAILING ME.

This thread or the shedding?!
LOL!
This will start a thread about who does not like her
but I was reminded when I saw your post about seeing Sylvia Browne in person 1 time. She said if someone toxic, no matter who they were, your own son, you should exclude them. I truly believe this to be the case.
right now, that former thread is on page 2
.
Confessions thread....
I think i'm depressed.
Downer thread

This happened outside the movie theater we went to on yesterday.
The guy tied a rope around his neck and the other end around a pole.


I have never heard of anyone doing it that way!

What happened to just doing it in your garage?


As I posted in another thread,
I just love old cars, especially ones that are funny, unusual, or just pretty. I don't care about engines - I am a girl - so it's all about looks, and a little about the funny old-fashioned sounds they made. But still - cars! So while I would be happy to collect little toy/model cars, I have had to control the urge because I'm supposed to want to collect pretty dishes and glasswear or teapots or something, and none of that stuff interests me. I don't care what it's worth if it doesn't capture my imagination.

I do sort of collect books on gardening though, and they must have many, many color pictures.
Regarding prayer thread below (sm)

For those who responded about it being wrong to pray and that they were going to know have to have a Bible beside their Dorland's....how closed minded are you? We have freedom of religion in this country - should we take away our freedoms now?  If two people of any religion want to pray in this country they are free to do so as long as it does not impose their beliefs on anyone else.  Asking a Transcriptionist to type "we prayed" is asking him or her to document the happenings during the office visit just like everything else is documented.  I am sure the doctor already knew of the patient's religion and they were both of the same religion - the doctor did not impose anything on this patient.  I believe everyone is free to worship or not worship as their own beliefs dictate....you cannot take away that right - this is America - right now we still have freedoms here that many countries don't have the luxury of having....please don't try to take our rights away!!  I would gladly transcribe any report mentioning any religion if that is what the doctor dictated because being fair and having freedom means that we don't judge anyone's religion, whether we believe they are right or not.  If you are not religious, that is also your choice.  I recently typed a chart where a woman was using the alignment of the stars to determine the best time for her to have surgery....I typed it like the doctor said it, because that is my job, and I did not judge her, because that is not my right.


Let's start a why do they thread!
Why do they make spice jar openings to small for a measuring spoon?

Why to they pkg 8 hot dogs and then pkg 6 buns? you never catch up!

Why does yellow mustard opening plug up and when you shake it, it squirts yellow oil?

Why do credit card cos send blank checks through the mail, forcing you to open all of it?

okay next?
You came in late on this thread so I
do not expect you to understand what was said. The person said they had no work at her full time job but sitting waiting on it? Then there was a part time job and finally full time school. Well, duh, why starve to "wait on work to show up" or stay full time in school when you can put together 2, 3 or 4 jobs and then there is full time pay.
Then why did you post on this thread below?
Why not just ignore the post? Most folks were just talking about what the OP asked about, and not really bringing politics or attacks into the thread. You incited an attack typical of ones on the politics board, which is exactly why many don't go there. For a lot of people, tomorrow is about more than politics for a variety of reasons.
The thread about the inauguration??
x
This whole thread is uncalled for

and you are no better than the ESLs.  In fact, they are doctors and you are just an MT. 


I posted in your thread below too, but
you need to get to a lawyer NOW (they will set up a payment plan, don't worry about that right now. If not, they will refer you to someone who can help you cheaper or free. Just GO.), and you need to file for divorce first. And you need to STAY PUT in the house with your kids. They'll make him leave, not you. He's freakin' nuts. You're married. It doesn't matter if your name is on the house or not, it's half yours. I've been where you are.... prepare yourself & be proactive.
He is tired a lot, but I put that down to the insomnia - sm
He goes to bed at 9 or 10 and wakes up at 2, so living on 4-5 hours of sleep a night would make you a bit tired. No jaundice. He has some body ache from time to time, but figure that is normal aging. He only gets nausous after cooking. He cannot eat right after cooking, his mom is the same way though. He does not have a good appetite though, that has been getting gradually less and less, eats a light lunch and dinner, no snacking thoughout the day, though he has not lost weight, probably because of the beer though. He has had a lot of stomache upset lately, so if I get get him to a GI doc maybe we will discover only gallstones. He has had a couple kidney stones already, though he only mentions them after the fact. I told him he has to keep the stone so we can get it checked/analyzed to see what type of stone it is. He is an ostrich with its head in the sand. I just dread if anything ever serious is diagnosed as he will most likely refuse treatment which I think is insane. I have a very strong will to live and we have 2 kids, so it is hard to understand. AS for the other comment on the will, yes we did that years ago, and we both have life insurance as well so in that respect I'd be okay, but I'd rather have him here, not in the ground.
I'm in my 1st trimester and very tired....sm
with my last pregnancy, which resulted in a miscarriage, I wasn't.  Anyone else have a lot of tiredness?  I used to sleep only 6-1/2 or 7 hours a night and now am sleeping 8 at night and taking a nap during the day.  I'm hoping the tiredness is a good sign.  I see the doctor this week for my first checkup.
Apparently you are not tired enough of it
As you are still letting them out and expecting a different result. You can only truly control YOUR actions. Keep the cats inside.
I have problems being tired as well
I think you need to go see a doctor, I have an appointment next week to find out where the fatigue I have is coming from. Good luck.
Tired--I could have written that! (sm)

I used to have to go down for a nap during my lunch break and if I wasn't careful, I'd oversleep by at least a good hour.  I even tried working a split shift, which only made my fatigue worse because I'd take the 4-hour break in between just to sleep.


My husband is on the verge of needing insulin shots due to his very poorly controlled diabetes.  His latest health report scared him enough to make him a willing participant in a strict diet.  I am also on this diet to help make things easier.  It totally bites the big one but I'll tell ya, WHAT A DIFFERENCE in my energy level--his too!  We figure it just had to be the sugars and carbohydrates that were dragging us down. 


No more breads, pastas, rice, or taters....all the things we really loved.  We do munch all day though but on teeny portions of good stuff--mostly raw things like fruits, veggies, or bits of egg & lean meats.  No more cream or sugar in our coffee, and that's just limited to 1 cup of black a day.  No more butter either--my personal favoritest fat. 


Been on it almost a month now and I can honestly truly feel a difference.  I almost have enough energy to start exercising, which I didn't have before. 


I'm 5' 10" and topped off at 230 but am now down to 220 just by this diet alone with no exercise.  I'd be happy at 185 but once winter hits...man, I just don't know about that!  I haven't been to a doctor in about 2 years either, but I'd recommend you visit one if you can, just to rule out stuff, ya know? 


Hope you feel better soon!


I know you are tired of me, but I just wanted to say

the pictures both of you sent are beautiful. The cat looks like one of my niece's. Lisa had a tonsillectomy Monday at age 45 and I am going over today on my day off to help her and to feed and care for the two cats!  What a day this will be. The red one comes up to me and stares at me with those big yellow eyes and actually puts his nose against mine! I try so hard not to laugh, but I lose every time.



 


Thank you so much! I am so tired of feeling like (sm)
I am running around in circles, wasting my time! I really hope the doc will approve it and that the meds will help.
I am so tired of being fat, I am starting something soon
I am glad to see your post because I am having trouble getting into those size 20s and I am not going any higher, that is too high like it is. I have some problems that I am sure are associated, the main 1 now being incontinence and I mean it is not just a little. My blood pressure is a little elevated and I am sure that would come down with the loss. My feet also give me some problems, probably tired of carrying all this extra stuff. i had heard some about this and glad to know available right up the street. Thanks again!
I got really tired of the same from g'kids and get this
their mother would be sitting there tearing open the packages for them (they were old enough to do on their own). I told her several times to please let the children open. Have not given gifts to them now in about 3 years so don’t have to put up with that anymore. Let them open like they wish, out of it.
Tired and worn out

I am sure a lot of you are in the same boat I am, but I just need to vent.


I am 50 years old, married for 33 years, have a 26-year-old daughter (schoolteacher) who lives at home.


We run our own business, plus I do transcription.  I receive no help whatsoever.  I run the office for the business, do all the housework (dusting, dishes, laundry).  I am hating to get up in the morning because I know I just face the same thing every day.  My husband and daughter are very busy as well, but I wish they would just pick up after themselves.  All I do is  pick up and never get to serious cleaning or organizing.  I am going in circles all the time. 


I am ready to pack my suitcase and run away.  There has to be more to life than this. 


Thanks for letting me vent.


 


 


 


tired of shoveling..sm

Bet you don't miss that heavy wet snow....after shoveling your car out for 1-1/2 hours and the snow plow comes back and spews it in your face and you've gotta start all over again.  Scraping ice off the windshield, trying to deice the locks to get into the car.  Getting stranded in a blizzard with 2 kids (at least you had the presence of mind to bring blankets, extra clothes and snacks).  Rolling down the interstate, hit a patch of black ice under the snow, do a coupla 360s and the kids say "Mommy, do it again!" cause they thought is was fun.  Shoveling the roof of your house so it won't cave in.  Clearing the driveway and walks, putting down rock salt so nobody slips.  


It would be really nice if it just fell on the grass like in those old Currier and Ives pictures/cards.   Cat    


Tired of shoveling said almost all
of it. I hate snow. Snow is back again today. I just cleaned the gunk off the car yesterday, but now it is back. Looks like black and gray mucoid substances hanging from door handles of car and flung up along the sides onto the windows. The ice wrecked one of my wipers today on the way in to town. The concrete at my home is taking a beating from all the snow melt we have used. We now need new concrete. My carpet is trashed from all the in and out traffic even though feet are "wiped off" - my husband's shoulder is out from shoveling so much. I barely got to see the ground before it started back. People are on the side of the highway putting on chains, crawling around in the dirty snow, ice and crud. Yummy! I wish I could be in a warm place and not wear boots. I am typing with my wool hat on (lovely -I look like a fashionista just so, so stylish, and my daughter is laughing at me because she says I look like a "Canuck" (I guess she means a Canadian from a snowy place, but who knows, she can't stop laughing long enough to explain). I have on three tops (two are fleece) and ugly warm pants with Uggs on that go up to my knees. I am still cold. The dogs don't want to go outside. Whenever I open the door for them they look at me like I am a "killer" or something. If you have dogs I bet they are smiling! Mine like the snow at first and roll in it, but when it hangs around too long like it has been they go into "dog depression" and it is sad to watch. If it snows too much all at once I have to get on a ladder to clean the snow off the top of my car so it does not slide over the windshield and totally block my view (dangerous - it happened a couple of weeks ago and I almost had a cow because I was on the freeway and suddenly it was just dark inside my car and it did not fly off). So, drive around and be happy! We could send you videos of the different stages of snow, I guess. The first fluff, the "snowed-in look" clean and beautiful, then the plowed up gunk and all cars off the road, etc. and then all the tired, depressed, cold people who would give their right arm to join you in your snowless paradise. Hang in there! You must be confused because God has blessed you greatly! I am eating my heart out right now just thinking of your "misfortune" and dreading the sun going down when the roads turn to an ice rink and the crashes begin, sometimes multivehicle.
I just got tired of all the droning on and on
NM
We have this all the time and never get tired
Sooooo easy.

We buy chicken thighs (more juicy and tender) Sprinkle some McCormick's Season All (red seasoning - we've tried other red seasoning powders but only like McCormicks) then we grill them on the George Foreman Grill. We have steamed rice and salad with it. Can't get any easier than that. We also sprinkle the same seasoning on salmon or lamb and they all have their own unique flavor.
too tired to cook
We just have homemade tostadas and microwave them. You can put anything on them and there are no dishes, pots or pans.
I wish you luck. I'm too tired to do

the second or third job anymore, or else I would try again. I did it for 20 years. but I'm burned out. I'm no spring chicken and will be celebrating another year older on Monday which also doesn't make me happy, but time does not stop.


Hubby is retiring next year and I'm really trying to stop him as it means only $1400 a month coming in for him...of course, he has no bills, while I have all of 'em.  My reitrement bennies are only $700 a month because they deducted SS from me when I first went IC and didn't have to pay taxes because I was at a loss those first years. It's a ripoff. I had gone from $800 a month in the ྌs to $200 a month 3 years later. Now I'm back up to the above amount after 10 years. What a ripoff!


I hope you're a lot younger than I am and can get yourself out of debt before you are like me. I wish you the best.


 


Do you get very tired after eating?
I do and I don't know what to do about it. If I even just eat a hamburger I get so tired and it last about 45 minutes or so.
Probably will be exhausted and too tired - sm
to do anything as I wlll just be getting back about 5 pm from a 1.5 day trip to
DC with 13 girls in our Girl Scout troop. Four other leaders, myself, and 13 girls are going up to DC on Friday for an overnight trip, seeing the sites, etc. though our White House tour got nixed as Obama has cancelled all tours until at least March which stinks as we put in our request months ago....we willl be out all day Friday and Saturday until about 3 sightseeing, then the 2 hour drive back home. I will most likely find a card on my desk and some flowers though upon my return. He will find a card from me when he gets home from work on Friday. ----then I will have to work all day Sunday and play catchup for the work I was not able to do on Friday that my backups did not get done.....which I really hope is not the case.
So tired of this happening.

I think it is Vanessa Carlton. Can't remember the name of the song now.
Because the rest of the thread was compromised & only the OP

From reading the whole thread, I now feel
very sorry for you and your family. I wish you had posted all your thoughts at the start. You are honestly one of the lone MTs who work at home for - no reason other than to stay away from coworkers, really is the sum of your logic. You obviously feel children are worthless burdens, along with housework of any sort, or caring for your family. So go out and earn the big $$ - guess you couldn't hack competing with the men in the corporate world. Obviously. Seems a pity, as you get to sit at home and hate everything related to home and family, while other poor humans drag their tired selves out the door every morning to earn a living, counting the minutes until they can return home, exhausted, and catch a minute or 2 of their kids and family life before passing out from exhaustion. Such is life...

Bringing up the thread on NY bagels

before it gets * pruned *


I have a dumb question - - - - what makes a NY bagel so great??? I would think it is just bread dough formed in a circle....like I get at Albertson's or Safeway or Ralph's.


 


I'm so glad you started this thread
As I'm off today and can look up my comfort stuff and share and I know you'll like this one:


In C.S. Lewis's novel "Til We Have Faces," a character on the verge of meeting the "god of the Mountain" reasons bluntly with another, "Do you think it all meant nothing, all the longing? The longing for home?

For indeed it now feels not like going, but like going back." Elsewhere Lewis reasons similarly, "At present we are on the outside of the world, the wrong side of the door. We discern the freshness and purity of the morning, but they do not make us fresh and pure.

We cannot mingle with the splendours we see.

In the distance between what we see now and what we shall ONE DAY see is the longing that reminds us of home.

Some day, God willing, WE SHALL GET IN!
