diabetic diet question
Can someone please send me an 2000 calorie ADA diabetic diet? I have searched and cannot find just a diabetic diet. We just found out that my hubby has to start taking insulin.
Yes, I've tried it. It's very sweet, almost too sweet. sm
And it does cost a little more, but I should really use that for my coffee. Thanks for reminding me!
kid drinks in college
And what are you gonna do if you kid does drink at college?? Kidnap him/her and deprogram them? They are adults when they are in college. I would hope by the time a child gets to be 17, 18, they have been taught right from wrong and no I would not want to know if my child was partying and drinking in college. They are living a normal young adults life. I would want to know he/she is having fun and doing their studies and, of course, if they became a drug addict or alcoholic, they I will be there but normal partying for young adults, Im okay with that..better than being tied to my apron strings.
you don't want to know if your child drinks at college? (sm)
I am praying for you and your daughter. Honey, you had better get your head out of the sand and make it perfectly clear to your daughter, whether at college, home, friends, etc, it is not a good idea for a young girl to drink and lose control or insight into what is going on around her. That is just asking for something horrible to happen. Please talk to your daughter! Don't turn your back on something potentially dangerous to your child! When all is said and done, she is still your child, your responsibility, and God forbid something horrible happens to her, you will be blamed.
If an MT drinks a whole bottle of wine while...
working, there is NO WAY that can't have any affect. Yikes!  There she.he goes now! 
My gma is 87 years old and drinks a beer a day...
She still mows her own lawn, takes care of herself and her home and doesn't have any problems. She's always been very fit, eaten right, didn't smoke, but when people ask her what her secret is, she swears it is the can of beer she drinks with dinner every night. She's had cataracts but other than that she hasn't had any health problems and takes no medication.
My kitty drinks out of the toliet as well!
This is my first cat so I'm new to all of this, having dogs all my life. I bet your cat will come back home. My mother's cat goes off all the time and comes back weeks later.
Only 1 cup, but I'm addicted to monster drinks. nm

It is hard to work for someone who drinks, and even worse
when they don't think they are an alcoholic. It really fries their brain,they are moody and unpredictable, and fly off the handle for no real reason.
My DH drinks 8-12 light beers a day, though he is trying to cut back - sm
but he's been doing it for over 20 years, so I would not be surprised if cirrhosis shows itself. He is in good health, for now. I don't buy him beer anymore since I was enabling him and he did ask me to stop, so that has helped a lot in him cutting back. I think we only have 1 beer in the house tonight so that is good!
Energy drinks. Caffeine and sugar, sm
and all kinds of vitamins. I like the Sobe one. I even drink it in the morning now, instead of coffee.
Staying Focused -Energy Drinks
I am having a huge problem. I cannot seem to find the energy to work all day. This sounds so bad because I sit all day! Seriously though, it feels like I get so bored sitting here at the computer. When I drink some of a Nos energy drink, however, work is so fun, I have tons of energy, and I make a lot of money sitting here. I love this work, but what's the deal? I don't even like consuming caffeine. I got an energy drink the other night to stay up all night and finish some STATs, and now I feel like I can't work without it. It was hard to focus even before I started the caffeine. What is going on here?  Why can't I just get my work done like a normal person?
PA dictates patient drinks "a gallon" of liquor a day.
I hear people drinking a pint or 1/5 a day, but a GALLON. The guy is only 45.
If you try caffeinated drinks, make sure to use Equal or Splenda.
nm
My son loves Monster drinks before football/basketball practice. I think they are nasty.
I don't drink coffee, but I have to have my Coca Cola first thing in the morning and one more halfway through day. So I guess I am a little dependent on caffeine!
After years of drinking diet drinks, I am off Nutrisweet, Splenda, etc. due to health reasons..sm
but I really don't want to drink sugar drinks/juices and cannot stand water! Does anyone have any drink suggestions? I am at a loss. TIA
Now that's sweet!
You're raising a good bunch of kids! As an Air Force mother, I say thank you for thinking of our boys!! Tell your girls how much it means to us. 
That was so sweet of you. Again, I am so sorry
for all this pain, and so sorry for your sons. Absolutely horrifying experience, and absolutely no other way to word it.  But, time does help. I know that's so corny, but it does. I understand crushing pain. I have 2 way older siblings. My Mom had me after she thought she had menopause - a late in life baby? Well, my siblings were so jealous of me since my conception, I guess. Long story short, it was like we were 2 separate families, but I was the one who stayed close by and took care of my parents when they were elderly. One day my mom had a stroke and was taken to the hospital. Did my Dad call me? No. First time in his life he went to the older 2. They had planned this, or plotted it, and told my Dad NOT to call me. No reason, just don't. He is very old and feeble in his 90s, so he obeyed them. Long story short, my mom died a hideous death - her primary said she would have recovered probably back to 80%, but my siblings wanted her dead. They refused all supportive care and they shipped her to a nursing home. MY FRIENDS worked at the hospital, and I'm surprised I didn't transcribe her report, as its my account, too. But nobody could call me do to HIPPA. In the meanwhile, when I spoke to my Dad, he just acted like my mom was resting and all was fine. My sister gladly called me, all giggling, when my mom was dead and even CREMATED. Not my mom's wishes. She never had a funeral even, no obituary. And she was a nice mom. Did not deserve that. At least she had a plot, and some stranger with a shovel buried her sometime in the winter - 3 months after her death. Wow! All this to say, I know pain and shock as well, and time does heal. I was in a shock-like state for about a year, and then it started to clear. Now its been 5 years, and I can talk about it. So, talk, talk, talk. Its good to talk about it. And, yes, my husband and I have had very dear friends and relatives take their own lives. Over 20 years ago now, and its still sad, but not as painful. One thing for sure - I will always be thinking about you guys, and wishing you well.
How sweet!!
When we got "Lolli," our Pomeranian, she weighed a mere 1.25 pounds. Just a black puff of fir and the sweetest little thing. The vet told us to feed her Gerber baby food, which we did. I used to love to get her all the beef, chicken, and veal dishes, with the little chicken sticks and blueberry buckle for dessert! Boy did that little girl like to chow down!
But chicuhas's (sp) are my FAVORITE little dog. I used to have a precious female short-haired teacup whom I named Consuela Conchita D'Alfina. What a baby!
wow, that is sweet! (nm)

Sweet!
KS and TM, you are both very sweet.....
I was actually so upset by the posters below that I broke out in hives!!! Can you imagine???
I have been struggling to switch to Word from DQS and Word Perfect. I have been reading Windows for Dummies. I have been searching through the Word Help Index, etc., etc. I have been struggling to make some kind of line count that adds up to over $7 an hour during this "learning" process. I thought for sure I could post a quick question and get a short and quick answer to help me along but I guess not. The last thing I needed today was someone trying to teach me to fish or trying to teach me how to do proper research. I KNOW how to research, it was not working for me fast enough, and I just needed a quick short cut.
I do believe * what comes around..... * and I believe you two will get good things in short order.
BTW, the short, to the point instructions JAM emailed me - i have been using over and over this evening and have been saved SO MUCH time and aggravation, as opposed to Ctl-Delete for every word I want removed! Blessings on her/him also.
See URL. This is sweet.

I have a lady doc who always ends with "have a blessed day." I think it's nice.
Sweet!
I've been holding off getting one until I had confirmation that one actually worked! :-)

Wow, that's so sweet of you!
I wish I could apply for unemployment but independent contractors don't qualify. My status was IC for the past four years. Hope you find something soon, too! I did wind up going back to school to become a teacher, but I still need a steady income until I graduate in a year. Something will kick loose soon.
yes she is sweet, isn't she?
change of pace from the arguments
Thank you, how sweet!
It is now 9:15 and system still down. I hope it's not going to be much longer . . . . . .
I saw a very sweet documentary....
the other night about chickens. One of the segments was about a man who had installed about 250 roosters on his property, presumably for cock fighting. Anyway the racket the roosters made all throughout the day was deafening and driving his neighbors (none too close, as this was a rural area in Ohio I think). Finally all the residents of this area took the guy to court and got a court order for him to remove the roosters. Maybe a lawsuit is the way to get rid of the yapping dog problem!
awww!! How sweet! (sm)
I only wish I would write half as eloquent a post praising good QA personnel.
I work on a platform now where I can easily and quickly go back and listen to my blanks after completing the report just to see if they are any more clear. It's incredible what I can actually fill in on some of the more difficult dictators when I'm at the end and the voice characteristics are more familiar. However, before this platform, who knows what kind of blanks I left!!
I'm sure QA likes me more now LOL.
You are very kind to take the time to post this. We all appreciate it!
If it makes you feel any better, I'm starting a long night/morning shift in ESL-land! ;-)
Thank you again!
That was really sweet, Wannie.

Kids are sweet!
Three of my grandkids were here to spend a week with us. They are ages 9, 6, and 4. I had forgotten how earnest they are at that age, how sweet & sincere. They argued over who got to help me open the gate to our driveway when we went out (we live in the boonies). We ended up taking turns.
A conversation with the 6 y/o: "Grandma? This is funny, right? You know James? In my class? He brought Cheetos and I brought Fritos. Get it? Cheetos & Fritos? That's funny, right?"
I am trying to enjoy them as much as I can before they get to that teenage, who-wants-to-go-to-grandma's phase. 
Awww..thanks. That's sweet.
I already got hugs a plenty from my hubby. I don't go that way, but thanks for the sentiment. :::smooches:::
LOL, that's sweet! You reminded me of
a dictation I had today. This radiologist was talking like he was gushing love all through his transvaginal ultrasound report. I had to ask myself if this dictation was for real (hadn't transcribed for him before)! Then, his next dictation was all gushy too, and it was a renal ultrasound on a man, so what a treat, huh?!!! I can actually type really fast to it!
Enjoy your sweetie!
BTW, I love it when the beagle (John J) snuggles by me on the floor and the cat (Buster) tries to lay across my two arms while I'm typing!
That was sweet, thanks. I am a caretaker
have been all my life. I've been taking care of a dying grandmother and after her a dying mother and after her a father with Alzheimer's who finally passed away. My friends disappeared and so did my siblings as they didn't feel like they had the time to give. I have become isolated, have no outside contacts, and am just learning to take care of myself now.
I'm much better today, trying to bake and clean in preparation for Thanksgiving.
How sweet...this is my story
I met my husband through a neighbor actually. I used to think I'd never get married and I always said that "if I didn't meet somebody between my house and my car and my car and job, etc. that I'd never meet them" (always busy at work or school, no social life).
Well, my neighbor used to babysit for my husband who was divorced and whose wife had hired my neighbor to babysit and he would come to pick up the kids when he got off work. He says he saw me getting out of my car one day and going into my house from work and noticed me and he says he knew we would be together from that moment. I myself recall noticing him in his car as I drove past him one day and I thought "who is that?!" My defining moment would come later.
After I met him through the neighbor, our children kept trying to play matchmaker and bugging each of us to ask the other out. I refused and I heard through the kids (my son and his son and daughter) that he had said that he is too shy, yada yada yada, and I thought oh brother can't these kids give it a rest already this guy doesn't want to go out with me. As time went on, we finally did meet (neighbor playing matchmaker) and spent an evening playing cards at the neighbor's house and I thought I'd probably like to go out with him as he seemed really nice and we had a lot in common but when he called to ask me out a week or so later to the movies I already had plans (with my mother to go shopping) and when I called him later to invite him to a Christmas party for my job he already had plans with his children so I started to think a date would never happen. However, right after that, on New Year's Day I awoke to a pounding on my door. Being Saturday, I didn't feel like getting up and answering the door. Embarrassingly enough, I was going through some tough times as single parent financially and thought it was probably a bill collector or something and I didn't want to deal with it. Later in the day, I left the house to run an errand and only when I returned I noticed a tag hanging on my porch railing. It was from a florist. So this is who had been knocking at the door...hmmm... I thought it was certainly from one of my sisters. I called the florist and told them I was home so they could deliver and out of curiosity asked who the delivery was from. I almost fell over when they said his name. Here comes a dozen roses with a card that says "Wishing You a Happy New Year". I called my sister and told her "I'm going to marry this man!" I can't explain it well here obviously but I just felt overwhelmed by that gesture and somehow certain we would be together. To make a long story short, we have been together for 7 years now and though only married for 3 we felt as though we were married from the very start. I just felt talking to him that I had known him somehow from before...it was like he comprised all the best attributes and aspects from each man individually that I had ever seriously been involved with before and it was all rolled into 1 person (vs. 1 nice thing about this guy and 1 nice thing about that guy)...almost as if I could see looking back little bits of him in each of the guys I had dated before and I like to think that it was those things that reminded me of him (when I didn't even know him yet) that attracted me to those people in the first place but they weren't him and I had been searching for him all along if any of that makes any sense at all. I am an old romantic. He is the sweetest soul I've ever met and he is my best friend I can honestly say.
I know this is boringly long but the bottom line is that I do believe in soul mates and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that we were meant to be together. It is astonishing how many things had to fall into place for him and I to be in the right place at the right time for our paths to cross and I feel it was fate. I truly did in a way find the man of my dreams in a sense between my house and my car (when I first noticed him and he noticed me  )...God does have a sense of humor!!!
Not the OP, but he seems like such a sweet fellow.

You bet your sweet bippy they do! nm

Thank you, Bonnie. :) You are sweet.

How sweet was that!!! See ya in 2008!!...sm
Ok - cyber daughter!!! I just saw this post as I was not online yesterday (3/16). GO HILL !!!! *wink* Have a GREAT weekend!!!!!
You too!! What a sweet note! Thank you.
thanks - how sweet!!! - back then....sm
I believe that we are re-plagued again because of a lack of handwashing in this country. Just my take as a mom....and I remember my grandmothers and my mother always making us wash our hands multiple times a day. I do come from good genes, my father looked 20 years younger than he actually was, and people tell me I look 10 years younger than I am. *love it* *lol*
You take good care and thanks again for the great website which I have forwarded onto my daughter!!
sweet dreams, because
at MQ if an MT has a base rate of 10 cpl then she gets 80% of that for ME, 8 cpl. AND, I might add, there are some MTs who make *more* than 10 cpl.............
What a sweet story... sm
Mine was applying at a local (small hospital) to be a clerk fresh out of vo-tech. On my interview, the HR lady says to me that she had a Transcriptionist job available. I said oh no, I didn't do very well in school with that and that I was really insecure. My teacher used to put a piece of paper over my typewriter keys so that I would not look down at them, but would rather I looked at my practice set book. She says it pays more, so I said I'd give it a whirl. Of course, I had to take a typing test, but passed that and I have never looked back. That was 18 years ago. Still going strong, and I do darn good. I love it. It can be done with determination.
Oh aren't you sweet!
I do my own brand of "redneck" venting...I go outside and split a few pieces of wood and do ESL impersonations...and yeah, it can be midnight or 6 a.m. or anytime in between when I do this. My neighbors must think I'm on crack.
Thanks for the very sweet offer though--it truly is appreciated!
The short and sweet of it, you get what you pay for.
p
Sweet. Someone caught it ;-)
All is write with the world now.
Seriously, though, can we let the poor woman vent without picking on her grammar?
Y'all are so sweet! s/m
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!
