  1. Oh Rhonda how exciting! That baby is whopper sized! I am so happy for guys. Congrats sweetie.
  2. How long before Medicaid may kick in for you?
  3. Trollop or strumpet: a long ago used name for a whore or a tramp. Pistol: a name for someone acting like a wild child. Also the classic from Bart Simpson: "Don't have a cow man!"
  4. Not from the gabapentin. However, if I stop or restart Wellbutrin it does that to me temporarily. You may have to change from the gabapentin or try taking an over the counter antihistamine like Zyrtec, etc. From what my doctor told me Zyrtec works better for skin rashes and hives out of the over the counter products available. It does work better on my hive and itchy skin issue that I have when I don't take it.
  5. I am sorry hun. I do truly understand as I have a lot of symptoms myself and I do know that panicked feeling about running out of meds and becoming even more disabled by the pain and insomnia. I think it sounds like you may be a candidate for disability insurance payments. I have never filed, so I am no expert, but I know there are people who have received it for less. Some times it is even allowed for part time payments, say if you doctor determines you are only able to work part time but you were previously working full time before the illness or injury. Were you able to file for unemploymen
  6. I was just told by someone in the police department that no one died. Although, that is all I was told. I am guessing it is under investigation?
  7. It is frequently prescribed and used for pain control. This is the same reason I am prescribed it, for pain control. However, not all pain medications require the same level of monitoring because they may be in different class levels, which means legally the doctors are under different requirements for their patient monitoring. Yes, a physician can "fire" you as a patient. A previous doctor of 12 years and I just fired each other in January. They were nice enough to refill my Rx for 6 months to give me time to find another specialist, but if I had filed a complaint because they won't rele
  8. Pain medications have to be in a certain class to be this strictly monitored. In the case of gabapentin it does not fall into those legal requirements because it is not addictive (it is not an opiate, etc.), also it was actually developed as a seizure drug. The only type of pain that gabapentin has actually been FDA approved for is shingles. I switched from Lyrica to gabapentin several years ago to help with the fibromyalgia and carpal tunnel pain. The Lyrica worked much better on my pain but my memory issues were much worse and it zapped what little energy I would sometimes have on a good day
  9. My husband puts sulphur powder in a sock, then powders down his arms and legs before going into the woods. That would be a preventative measure. I have been prone since childhood to get very bad cases of chigger bites and I don't know why. I think they sense body heat. A bout of chigger bites will itch me like crazy for about 2 WEEKS if I don't do something to kill them, not just lessen the itching. As a teen I finally discovered something that works. About 1/4-1/2 cup of bleach to a full bath tub of water and soak for at least 20 minutes. Just remember to not use your colored towels or rugs a
  10. Sunshine and chocolate boost serotonin in the brain which is what gives you a "feeling happy and all is right with the world" type of feeling. If you are feeling blue and one isn't available then try the other. It doesn't take much chocolate for this effect and if you are watching the calories then try dark or semi-sweet chocolate instead of milk chocolate. A daily "dose" of 2-4 Hershey's kisses or a few semi-sweet chips is usually all that it may take to lift you out of those blues. I have to use these methods WITH an antidepressant all of the time, so I completely understand the feeling.
  11. "... is charged with first degree attempted murder in connection with the June 21 assault on the Millburn mother. He is also charged with first degree robbery, 2nd degree burglary and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child." Yep, they caught him and he is getting the book thrown at him, rightfully so.
  12. Just like other wild animals a bobcat will not attack you unless it is rabid, you do something to its young, or you cause it to have to defend itself. Paulding has a number of wild animals and always has. We have deer, fox, raccoons, snakes, bears, lets not forget the coyotes, and yes we are supposed to also have mountain lions but I have never seen one in Paulding. I have always felt that we are fortunate to have such a variety of natural wild life and I hope that we do leave enough woodland for them to survive in.The coyotes and wild dogs (which sometimes breed with the coyotes) will on occa
  13. One of these helps to provide for abused women and their children here in Paulding. Although I forget which store.
  14. Vincent's! A little out of Paulding but it's worth the trip. Take Dallas Hwy East to the intersection with Barrett Parkway. Make a left onto Barrett Parkway. Immediately you will see Pike's Nursery on your right and Vincent's is on your left. You will have to travel a little further up the road and make a U-turn to get to the entrance for Vincent's. We love this place! I adore their eggplant or veal parmesan.
  15. The son found him Wednesday, so it wasn't that long ago. Someone made a comment under the Sentinel's article identifying him as Jerry Wheeler.
  16. Twelve Oaks joined Next Door a few months ago. I think it is a good concept to help keep each other informed.
  17. Charmin blue is Charmin soft. The Charmin red is Charmin strong. I've been a Charmin girl for around 15+ years. Before that it was Angel Soft. I cannot use a scratchy or tough TP.
  18. I live in a neighborhood with power poles and street lights are paid for by the individual if they want one, not by the subdivision as a whole. The people who want street lights have to call and request them to be turned on or installed on their power poles, then they pay for them monthly in a bill. I am not positive if Greystone handles this or if another dept does. I know within 2 months we had 2 neighbor's of many years sell their homes. Both of the homes had their power pole lights cut off. My husband says we should call and have one installed to our power pole but it is unfortunately acro
  19. The water park is going to be for wake boarding. Does anyone know if an indoor pool will be built any where in the park?
  20. Did your primary doctor figure this out or did you break down and see the ENT? I know your pain my friend as I have been through inner ear infections with the loss of hearing MANY times. If the ears don't drain while the sinus infection is being treated, then more than likely the fluid behind the ear drum still contains bacteria from the sinus infection. I hope you wake up one morning this week and can hear clearly again! Sending you a hug.
  21. Ummm...this isn't necessarily the ONLY cause for mouth and throat cancer. I know someone who developed mouth cancer from falling asleep with a dip (tobacco product) in his mouth every night. I told him he better stop doing it or he would get cancer. A few years later I found out that he did indeed develop mouth cancer.
  22. No. Beef is increasing everywhere.
  23. I have had constant chronic sinus and ear issues since I was a kid! Sinus issues and problems with fluid on the ear are frequently related. This is something I have to do to get the congestion behind the ear drum moving almost on a daily basis. Yes it is considered congestion when it is sinus/illness related and it CAN reinfect you later on if it also contains bacteria. You know where the TMJ is just below your ear? Take your fingers and feel just behind it and below the ear lobe. This should be near the top of the tube that drains from the ear into your throat. Gently use a little pressure an
  24. Wouldn't identifying him help more victims come out? So why are they not releasing his name or a photo?
