    Good Diet?

    Low carb is a great way to loose weight! I have a few suggestions - get your thyroid checked. The meds they put you on may have messed up your metabolism. A few others - make sure you get enough vitamin D - Mine was dangerously low. I am now on a HIGH dose vitamin D, this is with an outside...

    It is pretty common in certain areas to have drunk wildlife off of berries or apples. We get drunk deer every year.

    Malo - very old female Chin

    Thanks all in making the decision a little easier. It is never an easy thing to decide to do. My husband gets out of work right after lunch, so I think he is going to bring her in this afternoon.

    Malo - very old female Chin

    I pretty much know what I have to do, but am looking for confirmation as to what my head is telling me vs. my heart. I have a 16 yr old female chin, her name is Freckles. We received her when she was 12. She came to us with Malo and we brought her to a vet. dentist who is 3 hrs out. They...

    Shoes that are made for walking?

    Merells are awesome, but I hate them personally. They run narrow. New Balance - LOVE them. They are still made in the USA - in Maine actually! Awesome company to support. Before buying check out their site. They have a pile of different widths, not only that but they separate them into...

    Allergy Shots

    If you are severly allergic just be aware that in rare cases the shots can cause anaphylaxis! Speaking from experience. Happened 5 times - yep 5 times. They could not get the dose of dust shots down low enough for me not to go into anaphylactic shock. The cat one worked to a degree - I...

    Yay! Postal rate increase

    My husband works for the USPS - it's definitely complicated. They are NOT a federal entity, but they have to answer the the feds. They are majorly understaffed in areas, but have huge freezes on hiring because plants are going to be closed in the next few years so jobs are going to be excised...

    it must SUCK to be the mailman lol

    Many mail carriers have reasons to not trust dogs. One carrier around here had a boxer jump through a second story window - through the glass and everything - to bite her. If you think about it - mail carriers/ups drivers/and fedex drivers reinforce the behavior leading up to bites. They...

    Fire Department lets house burn

    I don't know all the details of this story, and I don't know if all the facts will ever be out there, but I can answer some questions - at least in regards to how this state works. TN could be vastly different. Volunteer is kind of a misnomer - volunteer means that they are not paid a wage for...

    Carpel Tunnel Surgery

    I had carpal tunnel only during my first pregnancy. I found chiropractic helped a ton! I do remember someone telling me that they had the surgery when I was suffering from it and they said that it was super easy and helped them a lot. Good luck with what ever you decide to do, but if you...

    Um. What is it?

    Unfortunately an allergy to poison ivy can show up at any time. I am currently (knock on wood) not allergic to it, but a glass of milk would kill me!! The number one injury (I read this in a report quite a few years ago so going off memory) among city mowers - especially the guys that mow the...

    Pet tax deductions in the future?

    As another wet blanket I personally hate the idea of owning pets being a tax deduction. They are a "luxury". I also personally believe there should be no deductions across the board and a flat tax rate doesn't matter how much or how little you make. That would be the "fair" thing to do.

    I'm a hoarder... and I need help.

    I know this is over a month old, but how are things coming with the tables? I saw an interesting article on Yahoo on those super mini houses - talk about making you think about what you own when you house is all of 10 ft by 18 ft. Anyways some of this "heirloom" stuff is really not heirloom in...

    Need snack / recipe ideas...

    I second the soy milk kind of being oily. I can't eat any dairy. I like rice milk - when cooking with it you need to reduce it some because it is more like water. Cook time on cookies go up. Pancakes are a little flatter, waffles are flatter etc... Soy milk is better in the cooking dept...

    birth control-need opinions!

    With women who have not given birth it can be very difficult to insert. Also, there are quite a few documented cases of IUD's migrating and/or coming out. My SIL is a pharmacy tech and she is very anti IUD. I think it is a viable choice for some people, but they just need to find a doctor...

    USPS issues

    I would try printing out addresses first. The zip code is the most important part of the address. So if you have legible writing, but it is slightly fancy the computer may not read 4's right, might read it as a 9 - this could really impact destination. Fancy 1's can look like 2's etc... If...
