I'm afraid my cat, my baby, doesn't have much longer on this planet
She is almost 20. Her fur is matted, cause she doesn't groom herself anymore, I've cut off what I can without cutting her. She doesn't hear well, and I have noticed in the past few weeks that she doesn't see well either. Thankfully, she is still eating and yelling at the dogs, so I guess she feels okay, but I cry just writing this, cause I know I will be kind of lost without her when the time comes.
Troubles with Teething - Baby, Baby, Baby
Hi. My little guy is teething soooooo bad and I am wondering if any of you have some ideas that I can try, to hopefully make his life (and my life) a little easier to deal with? lol. We've tried Tylenol - with little pain relief, but much diarreha! We've tried Orajel - it seems to wear off too fast to make a difference. We've tried teething toys - help for only a few minutes (not nearly enough time for me to get any work done!). His appetite is normal, but his sleep schedule has been totally disrupted (as has mine). For the last 2 nights, he has woke up every couple hours. I would think he would be exhausted during the day....but he never goes to sleep. He is more fussy than usual and alittle more clingy, but overall he is very playful. His pediatrician gave me some suggestions (the above) that I have tried with little to no help, so I am desperate for new ideas! He is cutting multiple teeth right now (and just got a few new ones last week too) so he is in a lot of pain. Poor little guy. I appreciate all ideas that anyone has. Thanks in advance. :)

On what planet?
First, relatively few people stay in the same place for 15 years, and even if they did, the technology would not stay the same for 15 years. In addition to learning all sorts of specialty terminology over the years, tech savvy would include going from a Selectric with a baseplate (minimal memory), to an IBM mag-tape, to an IBM 5520, to two different types of Lanier No-Problem, to a Wang; to a PC with WordStar, then MuliMate, then WordPerfect, then Word; PC-Dart, DocQScribe and Transurfer not to mention Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows XP. There are probably others I've forgotten! I'm afraid the letter writer is too willing to believe that you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Or is it a manifestation of not wanting to invest in employees? It's always somebody else's job to do any sort of training or re-training at all, apparently.
I feel like I'm from another planet!
What ARE you guys talking about? It is intriguing, but it's driving me crazy. 
Everyone on this planet deserves the right
to a decent life with their families. Offshoring the jobs in this country is going to slow destroy us. Most of our skyscrapers are owned by the Japanese. Customer Service for companies has been taken over by foreign countries . This country has so much and is so great simply because this country was created by hard work and determination. Every piece that we give away takes away from us and our children and their children, and so on. It is not a matter of wanting someone to suffer because we are not a greedy country. We do so much for other countries. But, if we don't start thinking about ourselves, we are going to speak Chinese, Japanese, and English will be the second language.
LOL! Yes Bama is its own little sin-taxed planet!
LOL!
Where is this job? On this planet of MT? Holy crap!
as Frank Barone would say.
What planet are you on? Did you read the post

MQ is simply the most corrupt MT company on the planet.
Watch and see MQ implode. From one who knows from the inside looking out.
For those who declare their love and loyalty to MQ, it's not reciprocated and the plans in the works by the MQ constantly changing management will soon let you see just how little they care about American MTs. It's really kind of sad and the only hope for MQMTs is MQ being bought out. Why do you think they keep changing management?
Same planet as you, hon! And you're TRAINING the program right now. Duh!
That's the whole process per individual dictator, per individual account. Takes a wee bit of fine tuning, and in a few months, its PERFECT. Just minor editing. Wake up and smell the coffee. You're training it and teaching it! You're not seeing the finished product, cause it doesn't need you anymore! Some of you just post so foolishly - and anyone could know the facts if they just paid attention and asked questions! You are training ASR and when you're done training it, its 1000 times better than the average skilled MT these days!
But do you believe this is the only person on teh planet you could have been successfully married to
I doubt it.
Aliens from the amoral Planet Roche
You are clearly educationally sub normal. Has Accutane destroyed so many neurons inside your head that you think it's safe? If you want to go on taking this stuff, despite all the risks, that's your look-out but kindly allow the Food and Drug Administration to protect the lives of other people. You'll probably be gaga within five years and dead within ten, so we won't have to read any more of your rubbish.
Do you have any idea how many people this drug has killed (and not not just through suicide) or how many lies dermatologist-lackeys and Roche have told about it? Hundreds have committed suicide and tens of thousands have suffered permanent damage. Go to www.accutaneaction.com for details of independent studies on the drug and information about the villainous manufacturer. [Described as "No 1 Corporate Criminal" by a leading business magazine.] It wasn't Saddam the USAF should have been bombing in 2003: it was b*****ds like Roche. Drug companies kill many times more Americans, every year, than Bin Laden did in 2001 [and, besides, we know that the war in Iraq had absolutely nothing to do with terrorism. It was all about oil production and prices].
At the end of the day, Accutane is unnecessary, certainly for mild or moderate acne and, in the overwhelming majority of cases, dermatologists were prescribing it- against the terms of the drug's license- for such conditions.
In the final analysis, Acne, no matter how bad, is not a life-threatening condition and is certainly not worth the risk of brain damage; turning your baby into a barely human freak-show; being chemically castrated; or ending up with a CFS-type illness through mitochondrial damage and dying prematurely. [There are several other treatments, which are more effective than Accutane and much, much less dangerous. Drug companies and (ever-conservative) doctors don't want anyone to know about them.]
The list of "side" effects is a very long one. In fact, Accutane has one of the biggest entries of all time, in Webster's Physicians Desk Reference. It's no wonder an FDA official labelled Accutane as the fourth or fifth most dangerous legal drug.
By selling patients a chemotherapy drug, as if it were a teaspoonful of cod liver oil, Roche have made themselves the Nazi war criminals of the late Twentieth Century. I'll qualify that statement, in a moment.
It was not a huge shock to learn that Hoffman-La Roche is a Swiss, family-owned firm. After all, it was old, Swiss family firms, which melted down gold teeth from the death camps; and fenced paintings, stolen from Jews. Their quaint, family-owned government [Das Schwytzerdeutsches Reich?] allowed the Wehrmacht to transport anything it liked into Italy, extending WW2, there, by eighteen months. To the Swiss, life means nothing and money means everything. That was true in the 1940s and it's still true today. The Swiss government even threatens corporate whistleblowers with jail, so close is the relationship between government and big business. Has anyone ever thought of a imposing a de-nazification program on Switzerland, so that it might end up as liberal as (western) Germany?
Now back to the alleged similarity to war criminals.
Like Josef Mengele, who asphyxiated Jewish children at 40,000 feet or froze them to death in baths of ice, Hoffman-La Roche didn't obtain INFORMED consent.
At least, it can be said that Mengele's research had practical benefits for Luftwaffe pilots. He may have been mad, perverted, evil and all the rest but he did it for "the Fatherland" and carried out research on sound scientific principles. Roche, on the other hand, were only ever interested in making more and more money and bought "evidence", every time cracks started to appear in their reputation.
They lied about what their drug really was and covered up its side effects. They hired "scientists" and doctors from various parts of the World and bribed them to tell the regulatory bodies that Accutane was safe. [These people belong in jail too, as "collaborators".]
Roche even laughed, in internal memos which flew around its American HQ in Nutley NJ, at how ignorant the outside World was of the horrific side effects, particularly the teratogenic [monster-creating] effects on the unborn. How would you like it, if you ended up with half a brain? Oh, you already did. Sorry.
This display of arrogance was their downfall. It was when these memos were leaked to the FDA, that a raid was staged and computers and documents seized. That is why such stringent controls were placed on the use of Accutane. In effect, even the manufacturer was admitting (in private) that it is lethal.
Because of the company's deceit and dishonesty over many years, the patients (or more likely their parents) were misinformed and weren't in a position to take an INFORMED decision about whether to take Accutane.
At the end of the day, a child murderer is still a child murderer, whether he lives in a luxury mansion near Basel and is a "pillar of society" or he is associated with a discredited, demonic regime. Everyone should be equal, before the law.
Your planet? did you know there were people who needed medication who didnt have it?

I'll be watching Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet!

I just bought a pair of Able Planet (Lynx) NC Headphones I'll give you a great deal on! SM
I did a ton of research and found that many preferred these headphones over the Bose. They were actually more expensive. I paid over $300.00 for these! The only reason I purchased these was because I could charge them on my Dell account. They really are awesome. I can't even hear myself type when I turn on the NC feature. They are comfortable, but after 18 years as an MT, I've just gotten used to the stethoscope style or earbuds.
If you'd like to contact me, I'll give you an offer you can't refuse!
Yeh baby
I forgot about him - ala Cool Hand Luke (yup, I am 43)
You can do this with a baby.
Lots of opinions on this subject I see. You can do this. I worked in house for more than 10 years, but came home to be with my kids too. My schedule was a bit rough, I would work in the mornings during baby's nap time, then split my shift so I worked a night while he slept. My desk was in the room next to him. I then had another son and continued with the same pattern. It is rough and you tend to lose some sleep, but it is well worth it. It actually helps to do a split shift so your wrists don't get tired. At any rate, my kids are older, both in school now and I still work in the mornings, do errands/housework in the afternoon, be here when they get home from school, do dinner and homework together, and after they are in bed, I finish up my shift. I've been doing this for 10 years now. I take my job seriously, I'm productive and have a 99% QA score. My company is happy, I am happy, and my kids are happy that they have a mom home with them when they need her. It depends on how disciplined you can be, but is is feasible Keep in mind that babies are not babies forever (which is kind of sad). Enjoy your little one!
RUN BABY, RUN
job with Soft Script. If you have a good job, keep it. Or, go elsewhere. You think the recruiter is rude, you haven't seen anything yet. Plus, they will lie to you, steal your lines and you will have to work 24/7 to earn more than minimum wage. You can do MUCH better.
YA BIG FAT CRY BABY
BOO HOO HOO
baby......
Sorry, but if you're nursing a baby while you're transcribing, neither job is being done properly. MT takes full concentration and you cannot have an ear out for the kids while you are trying to do the complex skill of medical transcribing.
Yes, women can do just about anything, but not all at one time!
A baby deserves their parent's undivided attention while they are being fed.
ERs, baby!

baby
do you know if the local high school teaches child care? Maybe, something like for a few hours would help, not very viable, but probably a lot cheaper. I have never researched this, just a thought. I've got two of my grands here now and it has been too long; barely got out of my nightgown!
Oh cry me a river, baby
I don't know how it's possible to do this with a baby to contend with unless you put him in da
and demands just as much concentration.
Does anyone know about baby rabbits????
I found them today. Their eyes are closed. There is no mother in sight. My dog already got 2, but I have fenced them in with enough space for the mother if she comes, but maybe my dog ate her :(. Should I move them. I am watching the dog and not letting her out unsupervised, but I can't keep that up for too long. Any advice would be appreciated. I want to save them, but I don't have all day to look after them.
Baby rabbits
Mother rabbits only come to the nest to feed the babies at night to avoid drawing attention to the nest by potential predators. The best way to determine if she is returning to the nest is to gently replace the grass/leaves that may have been covering the nest and place at least two peices of thread/twine/yarn over the nest in an X pattern and check in the morning to see if it is moved. You can also try putting a lite dusting of flour on the ground to check for footprints (just be sure it is far enough away to prevent attracting ants to the babies). While it can be done, the unfortunate fact is babies rabbits have an extremely high mortality rate when attempting to bottle feed, so if you can be sure the mother is still taking care of them, the best thing is to leave them alone. If you are sure she is not feeding them do not attempt to feed them yourself, cow's milk can be fatal. Contact a wildlife rehabilitator in your area and follow their instructions until they can pick it up. Be sure to remember that it is also against the law to keep any "wild" animal.
baby rabbits
Had somewhat similar situation and talked to wildlife people here (Wa state) they told me if the eyes were open, the baby was about 5 inches long, and the ears were standing up, it could survive on its own. Otherwise, ohoh. Sometimes you can locate the wildlife rescue org for your area on the internet.
Good luck to you - at least you are trying to help them.
One other thing they told me is that wild rabbits should not be domesticated - they are extremely unlikely to survive if handled.
not this baby's mama.

YEAH BABY
HEY YUCK - YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!
baby lotion - that's what I use

whoa baby!!!!
I might have to get one for myself
oh baby, have mercy!
The only thing better would be one of him naked and playing bongos - still can't get that vision out of my head!!!!
Yah, baby!!!! That one was a nailbiter to the end!
I know someone who'd love to have the baby
If she were to change her mind about abortion (which I pray she will)...
Working with a Baby
I have a 2-1/2 year old at home and I'm an IC for a small local transcription company. Since I've been doing this since she was a baby, she knows mommy has to work. She keeps herself busy and I'm able to take small breaks for diaper changes and snacks. I'm lucky to have a schedule where I just work in the a.m. from 9:00-12:30 and then work again from 9:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. when she's asleep. It's whatever works for you.
It depends on the baby
I tell people this all of the time - it all depends on the baby. My oldest was difficult for a long time and breastfeeding was rough at first as I got mastitis twice with him and it hurt like the dickens, not to mention made me quite ill. My second child was quiet, slept a lot, would drift off to sleep on her own - no crying at all - and my only feeding problems with her were that she had a weak suck so I would have to keep firm support behind her head to make sure she stayed fully latched, and I got pg again at 3 mos postpartum and had supply issues from that. My third child had no feeding issues, but was a screamer - he slept on a fairly predictable schedule but was quite loud most of the other times. He cried and cried for 3 mos, then turned into a happy outgoing baby.
Now that they are 7, 4 and 3, I can honestly say that I could probably work with the 4 year old at home no problem, and might be able to work with the 3 year old at home (but many fewer daytime hours), but not together at the same time. They were home sick last week and my hours were quite compromised during the day and I was exhausted from taking care of them at night so I did not stay up late to work.
All of that being said, I do not think I could have put them in daycare until now. My 3 yo just started in the 3yo room at daycare and it is a lot more like preschool in the morning, followed by lunch, nap and outside play, during which I pick him up ( I stop working to pick up my gradeschooler and the other two at 3pm). He was OK with the twos but it was a little more unstructured and the kids are obviously less mature at that age.
I would see how it goes - maybe you could hire a college student or a high school student to be a mother's helper some time during the day if you find that you need a little help. If possible, negotiate a flexible schedule instead of specific times to be working - your baby will not care what your boss wants you to do.
You will not know how new motherhood is until you experience it yourself. Everyone is different - your body will heal differently from anyone else's and your baby is unique. I would keep an open mind.
Congratulations on the baby!
"TrimSpa Baby"
Is this a safe product for most people? I have to take Lipitor for cholesterol-lowering. Do you think I could still use this? I'd really love to try it!
working with baby
Have you tried a carrier/sling-type thing to strap her to you while you work? I've been in your shoes before, I know how hard it can be...BUT it can be done..don't give up! Try to work when she's sleeping, at night, whenever you have a "free" moment, which I know are few and far between. Just know that your baby won't be a baby for long...indulge in it while it lasts...babies are wonderful!!! 
The gorgeous baby
One solution may be one of those swinging bassinet (some vibrate and play music also) or, what I used to do with my boys, propping in a baby swing so that the baby can see you and feels less ignored. If you put receiving blankets on either side and in the front by their stomach they really will stay put. They may also sell props just for this use. Good luck
Long OPs all the way baby!!
Give me a long OP note, the longer the better. Love em, love em, love em....
Baby, but in my culture we do that.
Congratulations on the new baby!!!!....n/m
Congrats on both your baby and becoming an
MT! You can have the best of both worlds - stay home with your baby and work at the same time!! Yes, it can be done! I taught myself MTing while holding a newborn on my lap! As others have said, take advantage of when baby naps, while not forgetting your own sleep, and hang in there! Its challenging, but it 100% can be done. Probably lots less stress in the long run than having a baby and then trying to return to work - day care and the whole 9 yards! You can do it if you really want it!
Yeah baby...
baby showers - sm
After reading the post about what to spend on graduation gifts for acquaintances, I wondered about baby shower gifts.
Actually, I was wondering if baby showers are now given for expectant moms with child #3. And if so, what would an approrpiate gift be in that case?
I always thought showers were given for the first baby only. Has this changed? And I didn't know it?
Baby Shower
I had a baby shower for my second child because my daughters are 10 years apart and I had given everything and I mean everything away. My friends planned a surprise shower for me. It was very much appreciated in my situation.
First baby only....unless it has been more than 5 years
If you are close enough to the parents it is nice to give them something with each child when you visit in the hospital or go to see the baby at home with the second, third, fourth child. Otherwise, showers can get burdensome. There are some people that I am very close to and even go to their children's birthday parties. But there are other that I would not feel obligated to attend at all.
I have one nephew who is very special (along with his mom) and because they had financial concerns, we took diapers on a monthly basis the whole first year. I would not and could not do that for everyone. They were just in that kind of 'spot' when he was born. Hope this helped!
production & baby
My suggestion is that you to hire a sitter. Breastfed babies, generally speaking, do not sleep as long as bottle fed ones; they have to feed more often and are used to being closer to mom. I would get a sitter, because your current method is not working. Right now, you can't give your full attention to your baby or to your work. Believe me, the baby knows this too.
Poor baby . .
It it's from nerves try chamomile tea with honey. I think Celestial Seasonings Sleepy Time tea has chamomile. Maybe you could look into something homeopathic like Calms or Bach Flower Remedy like Rescue Remedy.
Just wait until that baby
turns into a TODDLER!!! There goes yer time.
