You may want to get it checked out . . . I had the same issue with stomach pains and nausea that coincided with my cycle. Turns out my inflamed appendix was lying over one of my fallopian tubes and needed to come out. I went through a number of pelvic exams and an ultrasound (blood tests were...

I was fortunate enough to watch him throw out a first pitch at Miller Park here in Milwaukee - and it is sad that many are not familiar with his contributions to the music industry. He had a good run. Mo

Profits Before Patients . . . Sparrow13 - you are brilliant in your response. So much so, that there is not much I can add. Something to think about - what is stopping your employer from no longer offering health care coverage that they may be contributing to . . . if they know that a...

Boy, this one is tough. Just because something is legally ok, does not necessarily mean it is ok on a logical/moral/emotional level. With that said, I would certainly have a problem with this is if I was still fiscally responsible for her livelihood. Until she can afford the consequences of...

I deal with the same thing where I work - in fact, they no longer ask me if I want to join in when the order out - they know my answer. The solution to the multiple birthday/potlucks throughout the month - we throw some cash into a kitty each month and we buy one big birthday cake at the...

How about T-Bone (all in fun, of course)! Too cute! Mo

Yeah, I think if he had such a problem with being left out, he should have confronted Jillian then and there in the work out room. Although that would not have been as dramatic. And I agree - I think Ron should go. He's just physically not able to perform and he does hold them back in the...

Trader Joes has their own brand of steel cut oats that cooks in 8 minutes - I love it. And their dark chocolate, sea salt almonds are one heck of a treat! Mo

Thank you so much! And thank you for including the links. Mo

I'm hoping some of you "doggie moms" have some advice for me. I have an 11 year old bordie collie mix. His name is Angus. Winter is becoming tough on him and it's absolutely heartbreaking for me to see him get up so slowly. I'm sure his joints are not feeling the best and am wondering if any...

Another 2008 Mustang GT . . . this car is an absolute thrill to drive - between the horsepower and the "rumble" of the engine, there has not been a day that has gone by that it doesn't put a smile on my face. Plus, I get a thumbs up from cops all the time! Gas mileage is compromised a bit...

Yes. I do not think the government should be bailing out any industry. Let the market place work the way it was intended. If businesses fail, then they fail. If banks lend money out in a risky manner - then they assume that risk and deal with the consequences. The market place should...

Perhaps every industry on the public dole should have similar restrictions? Sports franchises that use taxpayer money for their stadiums - limit salaries, universities that receive public tax money - limit salaries, physicians and hospitals that receive federal funds - limit the salaries . . ...

Just another thought - my vacuum does ok on the floors, but I have a problem with furniture. I use Sticky Sheets - huge clear sheets of plastic with a sticky side - kind of like a huge piece of tape . . . you can put them over a chair, tuck them into the corners and then "rip" them off - and...

Elope . . . My DH and I eloped after being together 6 years, to the same small town his parents eloped to. We told no one. Found ourselves a justice of the peace and got married on the hottest day of the year in 1995. It was 108 degrees - in Wisconsin! The JPs house was this old log cabin...
