ummm--you are on it now...nm

ummm let's see, NO
Spaying is not actually amputating a body part that you walk on and because of the over population spaying is neccessary, declawing is not. I have not done anything but be informative about a procedure, I'm sorry if that makes you uncomfortable. This is a forum where we share information, that is all. I believe I might be hearing a guilty conscious or not, so as far as leaving others alone, I believe I have not attacked anyone, just shared information.
Ummm YES!!!
I am a nursing student. I never said not contagious, they don't cause any health problems, just a NUISANCE, never denied that fact.

I tried to merely focus on the fact that perhaps the ongoing problem needs to be dealt with, if the school nurse won't make a home visit, perhaps a parent should LOVINGLY, not confrontationally offer to help. You can always call the mom and ask her to meet somewhere for lunch or a cup of coffee (on you of course) and then say, I understand you're having some problems with ridding your house of a little pest - no need to be more specific. Tell her you know how overwhelming it is to get rid of this and how much hard work is involved and let her know your willing to help her out to make it easier.

Good communication in a nonjudgmental way works wonders. People need to be proactive and less judgmental - thus why I am changing from MT to nursing, to many MTs (not saying you do or anyone else here, just in general)see things only one-sided and don't look at the whole picture.
The flu is a virus actually.
One strain of the flu is really tricking people, too. It's worse than a cold, but with mine I never got the fever, just the terrible sore throat, cough, loss of voice, chills and body ache that Advil barely touched. But my doc said it was the same flu all her patients had, and they were confused and waiting to come in and ending up with secondary infections. Some stubborn people were even ending up with pneumonia. Thankfully the flu has peaked here and rates are falling in NC.
Does anyone know if there is a virus going around or flu although I did
get a flu shot. 
Ummm...a lot I am afraid
When we added our son about 4 years ago (he's 20 now with his own insurance, thank goodness) ours tripled! We're about to add our daughter too...but not til she gets a J-O-B...good luck!
Ummm.... are you Roseanne? nm
!
Knowing about the virus, I would
say no because it just gives a false security and the virus can hibernate so to speak for months before rearing its ugly head. If negative only for you, probably she would think fine and good, can continue on as nothing happened. I don't think teaching her a lesson by a blood test and surely not 1 so soon. I had read about some signs of the virus and saw a huge lymph node on daughter's neck and I probably knew then even before her landing in the hospital with excruciating headaches and high fevers. They asked her to give consent for testing (she was under 21) and hers came back false-positive for several sticks- finally had the most advanced test done and then showed so really the test never showed a positive ever. You know, your daughter might be of age to say whether or not she would have 1 done- check that out first. It was not left up to me to give my yes or no. You know with all the rules and regulations they have now days, things have changed to what it was- a child under 21- you used to give consent, check this out first before rushing into the office. Let me know what you find out- send me an email if you would like. Good luck.
Which Anti-Virus you are using?
//
Ummm, okay...whatever, loooool

It protects becaue the virus is
spread by sexual contact.  If people were monogamous there would be no need for it.  I miss the old days with more morals.
Let us know how you are today, girl! Hopefully just the flu or a virus. nm

ummm so your husband is your cousin??

Ummm, I'm wondering what they do to the soil?????(nm)

FIREWALL/VIRUS PROTECTION
I am going to check out this AVG; First I used Norton, then Norton changed and screwed up my computer (years ago) and then I used McAfee which worked well. Then McAfee changed and I got viruses. Then I got some Vaio computers with Norton. Norton was good. Then, Norton was terrible and five viruses later I changed to the one that comes with my internet service and is free which found 11 viruses and Spyware stuff that Norton could not "see". Then that failed and I got some viruses and now I finally got the unintall program for the free one (which took a week to get for some reason) and I am shopping too. What I want is one that works all the time, easy to use, and especially one that has English speaking 24/7/365 help available without 50- 100.00 dollar fees just to ask a question about the software for which I have already paid good money that is not functioning! This AVG, does it have English speaking persons? Do they help you for free or a small fee?
Ummm... Americans can also be Muslim, or are you

ummm...good question (OP)

Not really sure...I'm thinking $25 or so.  I mean, we NEVER see her, NEVER hear from her, nothing---only of course when there's a flippin' shower going on...UGH!


Guess I better buck-up though...2 more weddings in the same family this summer, which calls for 2 more showers, with only 1 of the couples not living together yet (but they are expecting--go figure)!


Ummm, wouldn't that be a privacy violation?
I don't think that ANY doctor would let you listen to his dictation just so you could determine if you wanted him for a PCP. If I asked my doctor that, he would tell me to find another PCP. Just my opinion.
ummm you FORGOT to give us the site

want to try that again for us?  Much appreciated, in advance!!!



they are aware of it, not a virus, they fixed it once and are working on it NM

Yes, they know and it's fixed. Not virus some Javascript issue.

I had mono or Epstein Barr Virus...sm
which ever you want to call it. Epstein Barr Virus causes mono. I had it in 2003 and I was so sick. Believe it or not, I had it for 1-1/2 years. I was diagnosed after doing extensive bloodwork. I was house bound. I couldn't rarely go anywhere. I was so weak I couldn't get out of bed some days. It was the most awful thing I have ever had. And nothing could be done about it. It just had to kind of wear off. I did take a lot of vitamins toward the end of it and they seemed to help.
No Way! Anti-Virus software not going to work.
Malware creators love to target April Fool's Day with their wares, and the latest worm, called Conficker C, could be one of the most damaging attacks we've seen in years.

Conficker first bubbled up in late 2008 and began making headlines in January as known infections topped 9 million computers. Now in its third variant, Conficker C, the worm has grown incredibly complicated, powerful, and virulent... though no one is quite sure exactly what it will do when D-Day arrives.

Thanks in part to a quarter-million-dollar bounty on the head of the writer of the worm, offered by Microsoft, security researchers are aggressively digging into the worm's code as they attempt to engineer a cure or find the writer before the deadline. What's known so far is that on April 1, all infected computers will come under the control of a master machine located somewhere across the web, at which point anything's possible. Will the zombie machines become denial of service attack pawns, steal personal information, wipe hard drives, or simply manifest more traditional malware pop-ups and extortion-like come-ons designed to sell you phony security software? No one knows.

Conficker is clever in the way it hides its tracks because it uses an enormous number of URLs to communicate with HQ. The first version of Conficker used just 250 addresses each day -- which security researchers and ICANN simply bought and/or disabled -- but Conficker C will up the ante to 50,000 addresses a day when it goes active, a number which simply can't be tracked and disabled by hand.

At this point, you should be extra vigilant about protecting your PC: Patch Windows completely through Windows Update and update your anti-malware software as well. Make sure your antivirus software is actually running too, as Conficker may have disabled it.

Microsoft also offers a free online safety scan here, which should be able to detect all Conficker versions:
