I have fibro brain fog and can't remember now!! But it is either from the fibromyalgia or maybe just another eye condition. I will remember after I go to bed tonight.I remember they eye doctor telling me it was dry eye though.

The ambulance company has strict policies about when to use lights and sirens. I just got home from vacation with my Mom. While gone, she had a very bad fall and hit her head hard on asphalt, she is 85 years old with a heart condition and an ambulance was called. The ambulance would not use lights and sirens to get the 85 year old shakey woman to the hospital because she was not bleeding is what they told me. I would have thought an 85 year old woman taking a very bad fall would warrant using lights and sirens. Mother was not answering their questions anywhere near correctly. I thought

Prayers said. And wishes for a healthy and happy baby girl in the process. I hate it so bad when people have trouble delivering their little ones into the world.

Five dollars for a bag full of gently worn clothes is not much. I would either have the yard sale and mark them at 1,2 and 3 dollars a piece, maybe some .50 things, and make a little bit on them. Or take them to a consignment shop that will sell them for you. Kids clothes usually sell like hotcakes in my experience. That is usually what a lot of people are looking for at yard sales because kids grow so fast and it is so much cheaper to clothe them that way.You might can get together with some of your friends or family members and have a yard sale together.Easier that way. Anther idea is t

Dry eye/dry mouth is the pits. I use drops so many times a day for the dry eye. I chew gum and drink a lot for the dry mouth. Sometimes my eyes are so dry they are all red and scary looking and drive me nuts!

What codes and what do you do with them? I drink a lot of coke, but I didn't know about the codes.

That is very interesting to see in the animal kingdom . Thanks for posting it tbar. Often times, animals will adopt and care for babies completely different from them, like a dog adopting kittens ,etc. I really had never thought about homosexual animals, much less them adopting an egg and caring for it. Very interesting.

Pace yourself! If you overwork, you will pay dearly for it. If you do some housework, work for a few minutes and take a good break. Never overdo anything.Do things in small segments. Avoid stress.After 911, I was in bed for 10 days, could not get up for anything other than necessary trips to the bathroom and hunger.The pain was unreal. If you can afford a professional massage, get one as often as you can. The massage will relieve the hardness in the muscles and the pain for a while. If you can't get a massage, see if hubby will massage your sore muscles. Also, I

I have had fibromyalgia for a lot of years. My doctor gave me a sample pack of Saleeve, the new fibromyalgia medicine only available for about a month or so in the United States. I am feeling much much better on the Saleeve. I had to slowly back off the Cymbalta , then start the Saleeve at a small dose and slowly increase it to I think 50 mgs. You might want to ask your doctor or a rheumatologist if they have the sample packs for you to try out. I really am feeling much better; I never dreamed I would feel this well again. I could not take Lyrica at all when it was started for fibro

If you have trouble finding a job in this economy, you might want to consider opening a home daycare of your own. Check on how many kids the state will let you keep in your home if you are licensed or not licensed. It might be as few as 5 or so.At the prices people get to take care of kids in their home, this could be an answer for you. You would not have insurance or benefits tho. You would have food expenses, utilities would go up and you would need to buy supplies like toys, art supplies. soaps and disinfectants( toys are sprayed down with diluted clorox water several times a day to orev

Another option for you to consider if you will be working at low wages is to put one or both small children in a Head Start program. Head Start is free. The feds pay for it.You can call them and see if your income qualifies when you get a job.You will need to get the applications in early though and they should be recruiting for kids all summer.If your child has a speech problem and will need speech therapy to pronounce the sounds needed in kindergarten, your child will have a much better chance of getting admitted.They take a minimum of 30% of children with disabilities. Some Head Sta

I ran several day cares after I worked in a few myself. Don't worry so much about them.The big majority provide excellent care and education for your little ones. It is really rare that a child is mistreated in a daycare. There are too many people around all the time and the repercussions to the adult are really bad. If and when it does happen it is sensationalized in the media. Your children will adjust to daycare. They will probably cry when you leave, but 99.9999% of them stop the crying and start playing as soon as mommy is out of earshot and cannot hear them any longer. D

By the way, I did not choose a man over my kids. My kid is 35 years old. He chose a man over me. He chose to take his dad's side in everything over me and give me he$$ over everything. But it is all water under the bridge. Best wishes to your poor grown up mama in trying to lead her own life. She is going to need it. By the way, if things do turn out wrong for her, I can help her pick up the pieces and talk to her and be with her until she is better. Your family needs counseling.

I had a date not very long ago, three weeks in fact. He is a very nice man. Much nicer personality than my husband had. You should never have posted this in a public forum if you did not want responses such as mine. I was giving you the perspective of a woman almost your mother's age who has the same kind of selfish kids that your mother has. I was trying to show you how your mother most likely feels about the situation. The happiest I have ever been in my life was when I was dating the man that my son threw a fit on and ruined the whole thing for me. So stop and th

Amen to you Psycho mom! And yes,OP, you struck a nerve with me. Why it is even any of you and your brother's business is beyond me.Your mother has survived the worst year of her life. Now she wants to feel human again. This man is most likely someone she has known in the past, maybe went to school with, and she wanted to spend some time with him enjoying her life. She has probably 25-30 years left. She wants to be happy. And no doubt at all she is now very traumatized by your brother's actions. He called you from her house? No wonder the poor man went running out! And you and your br

I did get the feeling that she and her brother both reacted badly to her mother having a friend.Why else would she have posted it on a message board? I just do not understand why adult children do not comprehend the fact that their adult parent might want another adult friend to spend time with and go places. It makes no sense to me at all and my family did not react that way at all when our mother wanted to date our stepfather. I think people are entitled to lead their own lives and make their own choices. I was giving her the perspective of an adult parent whose child d

Kuddos to the two above posts!! I cannot believe that you and your brother even think that you have the right to object to your mother having a friend or boyfriend! You are not raising her now. She is not a teenager. I have been divorced for 20 years. My ex fooled around on me all the time, or "dated" while we were married, and he married one of his women after our divorce was final. My son visits with them and talks to his dad all the time. Do you think he accepted that I wanted to just date occasionally? No , he did not. He was awful about it , just like you and your brother
