Update to my post below

Now the neighbor cat is bringing out the big guns! There was a mouse gift at the back door this morning! HAHA! Oh, my. I'm assuming if she needed food she would have eaten it? ...

"Here’s another data point, too: the split among Florida voters to Eastwood’s speech was 49% positive to only 24% negative by the next day — presumably even after the avalanche of criticism for it. The overall split is positive in almost all demos except Democrats (30/45) and liberals (26/58). Majorities of independents (51/26), seniors (54/20), men (54/24) approved of it, but the biggest positive response came from Hispanics, 62/21 — even better than Republicans (58/12). Even women ( ...

I posted this a couple months ago. Basically, it's about being depressed, having socially anxiety (or maybe avoidant personality disorder). http://forum.mtstars.com/245664.html Well, instead of getting help then, I decided to get another MT job to try one more time. And I am getting worse. I realize I need to get help now, or my life is not going to go anywhere. I'm starting to have more suicidal thoughts and anxiety attacks. I don't have money to go to a doctor. I know I ...

Since this thread started last week, I ordered, received, and have been using e-cigs for 4 days. They're awesome. I've smoked since a teenager - before cigarettes were taboo. Since working at home, I was smoking 2+ packs a day. I'm now smoking maybe 8 cigarettes a day, with absolutely no withdrawal. When I smoke a real cig now, it's more of a choice rather than a necessity. When I run out of my cigs, I won't be buying a new supply ...

Keep writing and asking for more to be done. ...

Did some more research on this and apparently Rep. Jose Serrano (D-NY) is simply a fanatic about repealing the 22nd amendment. He actually has tried this before (HJ Res. 5) back in 2009, so I'm guessing it'll get about as far this time as it did last time. I would, however, like to have a discussion about the pros and cons of this bill - apparently there are some that would like to see this amendment repealed. I'm actually for more term limits - senate, house, supreme ...

As you know, she has a new diagnosis with Alzheimer's and am getting her started on coconut oil, well coconut oil gelcaps, as that was what was available at the store at the time. Anyway, not a moment too soon. Just needed to vent a little. Where to start! SHE GAVE ALL HER CHRISTMAS PRESENTS FROM ME AWAY!!!! Her greatest need at this time was warm winter sweaters, sweatshirts, layering pieces like turtlenecks and long-sleeved Tees to wear underneath ...

I posted a few times on the prayer board about being abused by my sister for as long as I can remember. Several of you encouraged me to see a therapist, and today was my first visit. I chose the therapist's name from a list of providers given to me by my insurance company. I did not know anything about her. I can say based on our session today that I am extremely pleased. She is just wonderful. It was a very difficult session for me, having to give ...

Hi all in MT land: I am here just to stop in and say hi. I had posted awhile back about giving my notice and moving onto a new (and better) job. My last day with my MTSO was Friday the 13th. I started my new job June 9th and stayed on to help finish out the pay period. My last day I posted a message on IM about it being my last day and goodbye everyone kind of thing and didn't hear a peep. Not one message. I don't care, it's not like I was expecting anything, but not even one m ...

Well, my legs and ankles are mostly normal now. I think I lost 10-15 pounds and took finally four Torsemide two morning and two in afternoon to do it. I have diastolic heart failure and that plus my low potassium threw me into a bad spell with swelling that would not go down. I do feel some better though. I still have the hives and now they are really bothering me badly. I went to the drug store and finally got some CVS brand Allegra 180 mg. I found reviews saying it was good for hives since ...

still exposing right wing shenanigans totally unfethered. When o when will that explosive investigation begin? Waiting to exhale. ...

Hi everyone, I am the one who posted a few weeks ago about going for the job with my State as a dispatcher. Good news!!!!! I had my polygraph today and I PASSED, lol. Yes, I was nervous, of course, because I realize that these are not 100% accurate but I decided ahead of time to just take a deep breath, be completely honest and it worked. I am so excited and hoping (with the way things are going) to be out of this field before the end of February (or earlier, hopefully). I believe that the ...

Well, it has been a month, short of 5 days, that I walked away from the medical field and medical transcription after over 23 years. I have to say that it has been the best thing that I have done for myself and my family in forever. The work schedule is a little screwy (dispatcher for law enforcement) but with no small kids and my husband already in law enforcement for 27 years, it has been adaptable for us. The first week was spent becoming certified on state and national comm ...

Won't touch the 4Health or Taste of the Wild. So, we're done spending a fortune on dog food. We're going back to Beneful. It seems to be the only thing she likes. Thank heavens, we only bought the small bags and they are gone now. On the positive side, as long as she's not eating much, she might lose some weight. LOL ...

She is delivery right now as I write this! Thankfully, my son and girlfriend are here to monitor so I can work. But I will be taking frequent breaks. I'm totally panicked. I'm just not cut out of this stuff! So far we have three. ...

I wrote awhile back asking if it was proper to send relatives a sympathy card. Just wanted to let you know I took all your advice, wrote some nice words about my cousin and heard that my card and words were greatly appreciated and touched their hearts. On a sadder note, I heard from two of my brothers that unfortunately they believe my cousins death was most likely a suicide. There is too much evidence leading, but his brother, sister and mom went over to clean up his apartment ...

Yesterday I went for my repeat films after receiving a call last Monday concerning an area of concern. The possible nodule again was seen on yesterday's films. They did an ultrasound which did not pick it up. The radiologist said he does not think we are dealilng with anything serious, but has advised me to return in six months for repeat films. Now we have a baseline set of films for comparison in May. Thanks so much for caring. ...

It goes by minutes...and by the way, I noticed that the Cherry Blossom Festival will go on.....Reid was so worried about it not happening. On the other Reid comment about women's health and pubs want to take away that funding. Planned Parenthood is VERY involved in abortion and unplanned pregnancies besides providing other services to women. If so, this is where most of the fight is all about now, and this is why they want to unfund PP. If PP wouldn't provide abortions, then the ...

Yesterday Tiny received one dose of Lysodren, 1/4 pill. She actually vomited a few times the day before she ever received it. The vet said don't give her any dinner that night until her belly settles down, and then Wednesday give her the first dose. This morning my stepfather called me and told me he had to take Tiny to the hospital before 8:30 this morning. She had vomited huge amounts in the kitchen apparently overnight, very early in the morning. She was weak and ...

Just thought I'd let everyone one know that I found a very close parking lot near by (only a block away from the theater). Thank you to to those who gave me google advice. It was $35 for the night. I should have paid better attention though. To make al ong story short, I had to move my car because the lot closed at midnight and the concert was just ending at 11:45 so at about 8:00 I moved my car and found that parking is free after 7:30 on the streets. There wa ...

Just in case some were wondering how the stray cat that was pregnant is doing... We have not seen her in a few days. She was getting pretty big and we were thinking she would have them any time now. We set up boxes and old towels in different areas just in case. She looked pretty content, we would look out to find her laying on our lawn in the sun with her big belly :-) and then at night time curled up on our porch, but she has not been around for a few days now. There i ...

Just wanted all of you who responded to my post and were so kind after the death of my cat on Sunday that we have a new addition to the family. I decided to look at our local pet store yesterday on my lunch hour. It must have been fate. I was looking for a tortoise shell kitten (I've always loved the colors) and one was just brought in within a half an hour before I got there. The woman who brought her in was a foster mother to her and her brothers and sisters. ...

We adopted a standard dachshund today from the humane society. I found him on Petfinder.com. We had to drive about an hour away to get him but oh, what a sweetie. He is only 8 months old but he isn't hyper at all. Very laid back for a youngster. (He hasn't even barked once!) His tail wags constantly and he loves everybody in the family. But best of all, our tweenie dachshund loves him! She has engaged him in play over and over. He is stil ...

An update here to a post a couple weeks ago. I had my meeting, but that day I felt a noticable change in the "climate". Since that time I honestly feel that the OM and her buddies are ganging up on me. I am drowning in work that I cannot keep up with. Our new people are in and I have been assigned to train. Because of that I cannot perform my daily duties as newbies need constant guidance. It has been one week, and I got called in and was given a verbal warnin ...

My son called me today to disinvite me to dinner at their house this evening. He said his GF was still upset and felt like he didn't defend her. He told me he was trying to be neutral, but she took as he was on my side and now they've been fighting. So now I'm banned until she "cools off." All because I said he was too young for a vasectomy. I also said she was too young to get her tubes tied, but whatever! When I expressed concern about being a ...

My friend doesn't want me to go into detail, but her son is going to have a long rehab and she is not hopeful that he will be back to normal if at all. He has had four surgeries and can finally whisper (has a trach). They can't stay with him. Doctors and nurses think he will rest better if they are not there so much. His mother has lost ten pounds from not eating and not sleeping well. A woman T-boned him on his motorcycle and he flew across her car and landed on his back. Plea ...

Hi everyone. I haven't been back to MTStars in many months. I see so many who are depressed and broke (and understandably so). Back last year, I wrote several posts about how I had started selling on eBay. I got the idea from here, the Gab board, after seeing a woman post that she sold $800 on eBay in her first month. EBay is continuing for me, and now I've added selling books on Amazon too. After a lot of trying different things and making a lot of mista ...

http://bluenationreview.com/house-gop-panel-says-evidence-obama-wrongdoing-benghazi/ Before you say, “not another story about Benghazi” and move on, there is real news for once: the Republican-led House Intelligence Committee voted to declassify its report that, “confirms that no one was deliberately misled, no military assets were withheld and no stand-down order was given.” See rest of link I'm sorry, I don't know if there is a l ...

Well, I went Monday to my cardiologist and he put me on new diuretic. So far it works in the morning, but I swell in the afternoon and evening. If two once a day do not work, I have to take four (two twice a day) and two potassium. I just wish something would work. My legs, ankles and feet are still swollen and sore around ankle/leg connection. Makes walking hard and I usually limp a lot and don't stand long or walk long. I looked and you are supposed to exercise some. I just can't ...

I posted a few weeks ago about trying to leave my husband and received so many supportive responses. Many of you expressed an interest in hearing what happened, so I thought I would let you know. I have left. My younger cat and I have moved into an apartment. I don't know anyone here, but that's okay. I feel better than I have in years. He has the older cat and is apparently taking care of him. Just wanted to thank you all for your support and let you know that I'm do ...

Update to my post below

Thanks for the update. I'm glad you are there for her! - nm
