Does anyone have any tips for working iwth OA of the knee? My right knee hurts so much I cannot push on the foot pedal. I use the left foot but still can only transcribe about 20 minutes without a long break. I am freaking out because I can't work and therefore can't pay my bills. TIA! ...

I have recently been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my right knee which causes my whole leg to ache whien transcribing. Does anyone else have this problem and any suggestions to help this achiness? It makes it very difficult to keep working. TIA! ...

The facts of Pat Tillman's death were manipulated and Jessica Lynch was molded into a hero by the Dubya's message massagers. Now many question every bit of information coming from government. The damage done by dimbulb Dubya just keeps on reverberating. ...

I am making a blueberry pie to take to my stepfather tomorrow, and I thought it would like nice to use a cookie cutter in the shape of a bell and apply that piece of crust to the top of the pie. If I use a little bit of water to attach it, will it bake to the top crust securely? A lot of you sound like you are pretty handy in the kitchen! The lemon sponge pie I made for Thanksgiving was wonderful. Thanks to the person who suggested the allrecipes.com webs ...

I'm always facinated at some people who think all social problems and situations are so black and white.Abortion is here to stay, whether it's legal or not, just like it's always been an option when a woman finds herself facing the impossible situation of an unwanted pregnancy. Wishing it wasn't an option has never worked.However, when a discussion comes up about abortion, we women are strictly divided. Black and White in our opinions.This is a complicated issue. It doesn ...

Don't know if you remember my last posts awhile back about a stray cat we started feeding and took care, gave her shelter for the winter and she had kittens. We've taken the kittens in and adore them all. Now...here she is 3 or 4 months later, every once in awhile I'll get a glimpse of her nursing them. Vet told us milk has to be dried up before they can fix her. However, she is a stray and she has been going out walking around the neighborhood like she has ...

I have not found this yet and wonder if others have. People who are unemployed. No pension from a company, no nothing. What kind of health insurance will they get. My partner is unemployed. If this passes I will cover myself. What is out there (or in the bill) for people who are unemployed. He is not old enough to receive Medicare/cade. ...

Okay, here is a question that I have not seen come up here. While watching news today this just crossed my mind. If the government sets an insurance rate you have to pay based upon what you make per year, do they take into account all your other bills, and that sometimes as ICs we don't get any work coming in at times, and then what they set is more than what you can afford (i.e. more money than your paycheck and you still have to pay all your bills). As ICs I'm sure ...

Thought O and Biden were against oil drilling? Dylan Ratigan just had a snippet on from O stating to that effect. Now he opens up offshore drilling? ...

To anyone who has any knowledge of Social Security benefits, I am wondering if an ex-spouse of a male veteran who has passed away can obtain "survivor benefits" (?) from Social Security if she has his children...even though he had been remarried at the time of his demise?? Children are all over 21. I have heard that there is something like this and if so, how would I go about obtaining it? thanks in advance for anyone's help. ...

Due to huge fibroids, bilateral ovarian cysts, and a myriad of symptoms, I've been told I need a TAH. Doctor tells me I'll be out of work 6 weeks but as I'm an MT and just sit at my desk anyway, I don't see a 6-week absence as being necessary. Has anyone here had a TAH as an MT or with a desk job and how long was it necessary for you to be off work? ...

One of my 2yo males has a cyst on the side of his head. I just noticed it this morning, it's about the size of a golfball and underneath his ear. Its not in his mouth. He is eating and drinking fine, doesn't seem to be in any pain. How could it have gotten this big without me seeing it? Anybody have any experience with these? I called the vet and waiting for a call back. I did some research and found out it is most likely benign, soft ...

How many would like to see the party titles go away? I've read about some ideas that people have, but they are not linked to any political party. My question is if someone had an idea that would help people get jobs, get the economy back in order and other good things for the people and the country, would you vote for them if they were not in your party? ...

This may sound like a stupid question and please do not flame me for my ignorance, but I am trying to learn and trying to make my political decision making count for something. so here is my question..... If a potential presidential candidate withdrew his intent to run for the presidency earlier in the year, can that potential candidate still be placed on a "write in vote?" Or does the person we want to use for a write in vote have to still be "running for president?" reason ...

Does anyone know if the pink Dancing Vaginas are going to put on a performance? I was kind of thinking they might put in an appearance the same night as Sandra Fluck, or has she been ousted? I didn't see her name on the last guest list. ...

Just curious about a couple of opinions. First of all, I like to tan. I know the health risks, etc., but I enjoy the way the sun makes me feel and I enjoy my skin with a tan. We just recently moved to "town" into a neighborhood. I live in a small area. I have a fenced in backyard and the neighbor is pretty close and their yard is also fenced in with a separate fence, not even joining mine. So, yesterday, beautiful day, I decide to lay out in the sun. I park m ...

Hi everyone, I absolutely love Swarovski Crystal, in particular their earrings. I have a couple of pairs that I paid full price for, but they are too expensive. (Earrings run from $60-$300+.) I saw that E-Bay has a really nice selection, and you can just do a Buy Now for way under market price--I'm not into the bidding thing, BTW. Thing is, how do I REALLY know it's Swarovski? Some of their jewelry is signed, and some of those posts say so, but not all their jewelry is signed ...

The new question on this years tax return is: "Do you have health insurance". They will use your response in determining who to assess penalties to for noncompliance of the UNCONSTITUTIONAL Obamacare Law. ...

I received an unsolicited quote from Ameriprise via Costco. They state that I can save up to $550 per year on the two policies. My question is does anyone have auto and/or home insurance through Ameriprise? If so, do you have a good or bad opinion of them? Thank you for responding. ...

This has probably been asked before...can't remember...but here goes: If your employer offers insurance, are you ineligible for obtaining insurance on the marketplace? Is this a state-by-state issue? I've just been advised that I can decline company insurance and just go to the marketplace instead, but I'm not sure that's true. ...

I have an insurance Marketplace question. If my income turns out to be higher than expected for 2017, will I have to pay a penalty? I know I will have to pay the taxes that would be owed, but is there anything on top of that? I also know it would be significant enough to change my monthly insurance premiums to a higher amount. It's a long story, but something got screwed up and I think I'll owe the taxes---I just don't want a penalty. ...

Was the post moved regarding the comparison between Hitler and Trump? I thought it was an interesting article but didn't get a chance to finish it. When I came back, it was gone. I looked on the main board and the gab board to see if you moved it, though I thought it was political. Maybe I'm losing my sight but I can't find it. Certainly it couldn't have been removed since there are so many hate-hillary articles left on here. Hope I' ...

Has anyone had a kitty diagnosed with hyperthyroidism? Did methimazole (prescribed by vet) give him/her a new lease on life? I thought my cat was just old and lazy and come to find he has this. Thanks for sharing! ...

My family and I are selling our house and moving out of state, but our house is going to sell before we actually move, so we have to rent a house for about 6 months. So, I went to look at a house over the weekend and was amazed! For $1300 a month, it was a 3 bedroom house, very old, and a total wreck. I mean, dirt everywhere (did they ever clean??), cats roaming and the smell! Just amazing what a dump it was, which is a shame because it could be a gorgeous house. So ...

Our cat is about 7 yrs old. She's not eating so well, but she's still playing, drinkinig H2O, and hitting the litterbox. She's also still jumping up on the bed and couch to lie on me. Should I be worried? ...

Do you get your pets spayed/neutered, or is that against doctrine, too? Yes, a bit of a stretch, but post pet owners consider a pet part of the family, so should we let pets breed, well (sorry) but, like rabbits? Also, where do you draw the line in separation of church and state? Yes, I fully understand the 1st Amendmant, but it is intended to cover individuals from persecution based on their religious belief, not corporations funded w/ taxpayer dollars, and face it, if a hospital o ...

are people thinking? What is the deal with some people getting their posts always liked and commented on and others completely ignored? If I was not hooked on Castleville, I would completely give it up!! ...

I had to go to the doctor, and clinic is located in very small rural town (ie, pop 500). This time I saw the PA and happened to ask him a nonrelated question about bio-identical hormones. To my surprise, he had never heard of them. I let him off the hook easy of course, but it just seems to me, if you have basic med training, or even just read the newspapers or watch TV, you may have at least heard of this subject. What do you think, am I expecting too much? ...
