I'm blaming the dog.

Hey Lisa I didn't want to reply cuz pain meds are their own little enigma. Sometimes this pill works for this person and other times you might see a paradoxical response. Now do we typically see that kind of a change in such a short period, no. But... anything can happen. Other things that can change it include recent meals or liquids (esp Grapefruit juice), antacids and other medications (including antihistamines) and herbal meds (St. Johns Wort and Valerian). And so with all this variability, I didn't want to be chastized for talking out my butt (as someone already has chosen to do that) What I can tell you: Hydrocodone side effects And that all medicines have risks and all narcotics can develop problems related to tolerance and addiction. I prefer to either not use narcotics unless necessary or to only use them for the shortest amount of time needed. I don't know why your PCP wrote them for you, and I'm not going to second guess his/her practice, but my advise would be to try to avoid their use.

Happy Birthday! Raise a glass at Tun Tavern!

I'm just a normal girl that happens to be a normal doctor in a normal town that does normal things (skydiving is normal) and is normally married to a normal guy (who happens to own a normal company and has been an international arms dealer of sorts.... ) I just have odd dreams.

Looking at the stats above, it's more normal to not have "normal" dreams

Sometimes... I like considering "b" as an option.

Nope... no Cancer Man. But... I've had odd dreams since before I ever watched XFiles. Earliest one was when I was about 6 or 7 and dreamt about a werewolf type beastie outside the house playing in the backyard. Always have had odd dreams. (most of the time I really like them and find them quite entertaining... but sometimes I wonder what might be wrong with the synapses)

A post in a different thread made me think about dreams... and since I didn't want to hijack that thread, I decided to post my own. Last night... I dreamt about sitting around a table with some hitmen/contract killers. One of them, a rather unattractive female, just melted into a talking jello puddle.... yup. Kinda odd there. Who else has odd dreams?

HOW WONDERFULLY AMAZING! That lil girl definitely has talent. - I actually held my breath when Simon said "I'm going to talk to you like an adult" and thought SIMON, I WILL BEAT YOU UP IF YOU'RE MEAN TO THAT PRECIOUS CHILD

Karen, I haven't had the loss in numbers that you just felt, but even if I had, I still wouldn't say "I know how you feel." Because I don't. I can only look from the outside and imagine the pain that you are feeling right now. I know that you've never met me and I'm hundreds of miles away, but I wanted to send you some comfort and support. There's nothing that I could say to ease the deep chasm that you feel - the overused "it's all God's plan" or "They're in a better place" does little to ease your heart; there's nothing that I could give you to "make this better" -but time ... hopefully, time will dull the sharpness of the loss. Not that you'll forget your pain, but rather, time will soften the edges so that your spirit can heal. It hasn't been long since the accident, your grief is still raw and hollow.... Accept the pain and realize you have great friends who will hold you dear as you recover from this. Take the time to grieve, to be angry, to scream in the midnight..... and in time you will learn to live again.

Beautiful picture of a wonderful blessing! Enjoy teaching her and guiding her though this adventure! With two other children... you know about the challenges, but each one is special. Cherish her.

I would recommend something with a good safety rating!!!!

Firstly - Lets not just make this about how men respond to dating someone with children... but include when either in the pair might have a child. I think it takes compassion and maturity to acknowledge that a potential partner had a life prior to your appearance on the scene; That there's more to a person than just the hot bod or the attention that you might be blessed with while with him/her; That there is more to a relationship than sex. It takes understanding to want to KNOW who the person truly is... not just the fantasy of the person that you have in your mind. The fact that the person that you are thinking about dating has a child shouldn't influence how you feel about the person as an individual. BUT it might it change whether you want to have a long term relationship... which should be UNDERSTANDABLE! Some people want children. Others don't. And even if your children are perfect . . . (which most arent). . . it still takes a LOT of work. I dated a man with a young child (2yrs old)... and (for the most part) truly appreciated the honor of being able to influence his growth and development... and feel pride in now seeing the 22 year old man that he has become. There was times that it was HARD! Having a seven year old tell you "I wish you would die!" or a 13year old rebel with the "You're not my mom" and the conflict with his mother.... I could have done without those issues... but you have to be willing to take those bad times, those hits to the ego, those "problems." It's WAY more of an investment with the other person has a child. The decision to stay in that relationship changes when you're thinking about not just you... but also how the young one might feel the loss. Some people don't have that to give. Don't fault them for that... thank them for at least acknowledging it... and not just seeing you as a MILF and a quick affair... which will just be hard on you and your children. -and for the record... Goats have "kids"... lil Mart was a child, a young sir and a "wonderful man" (as I recently heard from one of the girls that he's dating.... which I was proud to hear... but thought it SO WRONG! No!!! He's lil Mart... not a "man") But not a "kid"

Laughing

Well... I would prefer to make fun of the F.I.B.'s ... but Yuppers are easy targets too!

Happy Birthday!! Hope you get everything you've been wanting.... (well except for some pics in your pm box.... you can always hope for Christmas)

Differences in yoga.

HELL YEAH!

It did, sort of: “I believe the data,” said Dr. Elizabeth Barrett-Connor, a professor of family and preventive medicine at the University of California, San Diego. A body mass index of 25 to 30, the so-called overweight range, “may be optimal,” she said... Researchers generally divide weight into four categories — normal, underweight, overweight and obese — based on the body mass index, which is a measure of body fat based on height and weight. A woman who is 5 foot 4, for instance, would be considered at normal weight at 130, underweight at 107 pounds, overweight at 150 pounds and obese at 180.Now we just gotta figure out how to measure our own body mass index... Actually, it did. Exactly (not "sort of") Under the methods section on page 2029 it states The results section of this study should be read a lot more carefully than what the media portrayed it to be. Deaths due to CVD (cardiovascular disease) mortality: Does NOT say underwt or overwt is "HEALTHY".... just that being obese is bad. And if you get a chance to actually see the graphs - notice that the 95% Confidence interval crosses 1 on MANY of their graphs. So... not significant changes in relative risk. (But.. figure 3 on page 2034 is kinda neat in that it does show a level of protection in being overweight (BMI 25-30) for deaths by injury.... so either those in that group aren't up from the tv doing anything to get injured... or the extra padding helps buffer the trauma.

"I AM NORMAL!" She demands to no one in particular but all in general, stomping her knee high boots, while looking around for others as "geeky" as she is.... Sometimes though... there are too many "not normal" peoples out there.

OK... from a marketing stand point - it's a good video. Remember she's targeting early teenage boys and the truly insane Biggest Fan Girls just trying to spin some vinyl (.... ok, guess you can't say that now that everything is digital)

3 versions of the theme for MASH. One even with the lyrics.

Hey! Karen is sexy.... kinda.... and Special K? As in short bus "special"?! No! I'm Normal

So... do I look like a Kate? Skinny calls me Kate Skyrad calls me Kate I must just look like a Kate to the Brits.

Free skydive or free "jump" ?
