quote: ORIGINAL: BlackPhx I hate that this year there have been recalls of over 1 million toys (types not individual) due to high lead, choaking hazards and that few of them need a child to play with them any more. These days you don't know what toy is safe to give kids. I hate that the same has been happening with everything from car seats to childrens furniture as well a foods. I hate that before a child ever tastes milk it is fed soy milk. I am happy that when my kids were coming up, I made their baby food (pureed everything I ate pretty much sans spices) and gave them breast milk when they were nursing. poenkitten Gods.. I hear ya there.. it is scary! ( esp to me right now.. holy shit) I am doing the Au naturale Breast feeding, and making my own baby food too. I will prob end up making/sewing most of the toys and stuffies for the weein... and I will be very careful on the toy selection that I do not make. What the heck happened to regulations on safety the last 8 years? They totaly went out the window. and yes.. I went cold turkey.. but that was even a month before I got pregnant. So why the migraines now? ugh So fustrating.. I think it is the stress. I have been staying away from all the triggers.. and I do still have some tea that is not decaff. Just not the pot of coffee in the morning. LOL I started vitamins, a better diet and cutting off soda, and coffee a while before I got pregnant.. I wanted to be healthier.. whoo I am healthy now.. Healthy and round. LOL Esp after looking at my first full body pict from last night. daaaayum. But it is cute. Gwyn

Briena -> RE: I hate it when........ (8/24/2008 10:33:00 AM)
Thats the problem. There are no support groups for what her son had. It is so rare that there have only been 6 cases ever reported. She has friends that stay with her. She lives across the street from me. I guess I really feel like I dont want to intrude right now. Like my being there is more of a burden than a help. I mean its not like we are best friends or anything, just friends. It just sucks. I dont know whats going on with her going to counceling. I dunno... Its just a shit situation for all people involved... Well to say the least. Another thing is that Im a stay home mom, so where I go my son goes. I dont know... IM CONFUSED! Bah, Ill get over my issues eventually and figure out what to do. It was just a shock and I really didnt have time to deal with it before when it happened because she was home in Boston with her family when he died. Now she is back and I have to deal... Ill figure it out Im sure. Thanks :D

Believe me some grief seems endless. My son was murdered November 1992, the month of November is hell for me still nearly 16 years later. He would have been 34 this year. It took 5 years before I stopped wanting to share a movie with him and thinking about him daily or even look at saved by the bell..the kid who played Slater and Alex looked a HELL of a lot alike down to the same hair style. The worst was going out and seeing someone who walked like him or hearing a similar laugh. It gets better, but it isn't over night and with a child as young as age 1, I suspect the pain is refreshed everytime she sees a child of the smaae age playing..she will need help and support to get past this. Especially if she feels it was a failure on her part to protect, notice something was wrong or prevent the death. poenkitten (who wishes she could go back and save her son)

Aylee -> RE: I hate it when........ (8/24/2008 10:39:52 AM)
YOu could make a casserole or something for her to put in the freezer to just heat up later. Offer to be there and listen if she needs to talk. Ask her if you could run to the store for her. Just see if there are any little things that you could do for her.

Oh honey.. I am so sorry.... huge hugs I simply can't imagine... more hugs Gwyn

quote: ORIGINAL: BossyShoeBitch I hate waking up every single day this week with a migraine... I hate that the only thing that works on it is the $22 pill. Years ago I was visiting a friend who was having a migraine. A few weeks earlier, I had learned some about reflexology from another friend. On impulse, I decided to work on her feet some and to my surprise, her headache vanished in a few minutes. These headaches would usually last several days and often keep her bed ridden. Just thought I would pass that own, for what its worth. Edward822

Briena -> RE: I hate it when........ (8/24/2008 12:13:53 PM)
I dont think she blames herself, atleast I hope she doesnt. He was sick, incurably sick. We arent really sure what happened. He went to sleep and didnt wake up... But because of his illness they arent sure if it was caused by that or if it was SIDS or something else. It was completly random. They are still trying to figure it out. I am going to go over there in a bit probably after this post. I am sorry to hear about your son. Thats horrible. I have a friend whos older brother was murdered. It took her a long long time to get through it. She fought drug addiction and all kinds of stuff because she didnt know how to deal. I dont know what I would do if I ever lost my boy. Hes my whole world, my life. I truely do admire your strength, and your courage. Thank you for sharing your story with us. :)

BlackPhx -> RE: I hate it when........ (8/24/2008 12:18:25 PM)
Thank you Briena.. Even with the illness she may be able to get help from a SIDs Support group, often they don't know the cause of a SIDs death only the tragic result. Poenkitten

Okies I'm trying it again. Interior photos and R suggested a couple of photos. One from the living room looking down the front yard and one of the walk out basement turned into my third bedroom. Jeez I hope this link works. If it works its because of GeeTs help, and if it doesn't work its because I just don't get it! [:D]

GreedyTop -> RE: I hate it when........ (8/24/2008 1:41:12 PM)
it worked, sweetie.. what a LOVELY place!!

LadyHibiscus -> RE: I hate it when........ (8/24/2008 1:47:19 PM)
It's super! Too bad it's in Michigan...[&:] One of my close friends lost her job Monday, and I am just boggled at the whole concept of Looking For Work again at our age. <wishing that financial slaves were real>

camille65 -> RE: I hate it when........ (8/24/2008 2:18:35 PM)
Yayyyyyyyy thank you thank you GeeT. I'm super dense about some things and this is one of them! I added some shots looking out from the front door and the 'third bedroom'. Um is it pushy and rude to send these to my realtor along with the new blurb? I need pics up there but I don't want to come across as bitchy by sending her pics I took. Hah. My parents came to see the house and my father declared it to be 'adequate'. Pfffft this place is finally nice looking and I know it dang it. [8\|] Parents can be such tough critics. I'm very very happy with it, all the work paid off and the neat thing is that it paid off in really visible ways so I can see it and feel good! Thank you every one for the advice and support.

BlackPhx -> RE: I hate it when........ (8/24/2008 2:22:27 PM)
Ye Gods and Goddess's that is a beautiful home, I hate that you have to sell it especially in this market... Sigh... wish it was in Florida Poenkitten

BlackPhx -> RE: I hate it when........ (8/24/2008 2:24:35 PM)
Not pushy you are interested in showing your home to it's best potential while it is juyst one among many that she has.. Give her the blurb..just because she is a realtor doesn't mean she can write a good description, though she may pare it down a little based on word cost on the ad. Poenkitten

GreedyTop -> RE: I hate it when........ (8/24/2008 2:44:57 PM)
Not pushy in the least.. after all, you ARE trying to sell it..it only makes sense that it's seen at it's best :)

camille65 -> RE: I hate it when........ (8/24/2008 2:49:22 PM)
Poen she isn't doing paper ads. Ugh I am not handling this well.. she is doing it on her website, she told me that she likes to change it around weekly. Doing paper ads, web ads or signs on a rotational basis but that makes little sense to me. The only sign is at my mailbox and I live on a dead end private dirt road, I'd asked for a sign on the main road but so far nothing. I suck at being aggressive but IMO she just isn't doing much work here and I'm trying to find the balance between what I need and what she will accept. I don't know if I'm stepping over the line on things so I keep coming back here for advice and feeling a bit stupid. What I really need to do is read all the paperwork again to see if I can change realtors. Unfortunately I'm kind of flaring up lupus n fibro wise, having a lot of trouble tracking thoughts which tends to show in the amount of words I use lol. I feel dazed and thoughts keep sliding around. Another reason I keep returning with goofy questions and hiding down in Random Stupidity. Thanks again peoples.
