Thanks Dee, Gil, and VC,
I am so frustrated. I don't know who to believe.
Wolf, I've only been at it a month. But at least yours still works even if muffled. Mine is not hearing anything. But regardless of details, yeah, I know exactly how you feel. I sure hope you start to get a resolution. I want modern medicine to show me some pizazz. We're getting fixzlee instead.
I hope your fasting tests go well.
Gil and FG,
The real critical ingredient is acetic acid, better known as vinegar. Go here and read about the uses of acetic acid: [B][B]May treat: Otitis externa · Bacterial vaginosis · Urinary bladder disease.
Otitis externa is infection of the ear canal.
Peroxide is recommended by doctors mixed with some olive oil to soften wax buildup. But never recommended when the eardrum is punctured or has a tube, or when infection is present.
V you asked about a culture and sensitivity test. Mine only grew one colony, not hundreds and thousands to cover the dish and show. Put another way, it may have just been cross contamination or it would have grown over the whole dish except around antibiotics that killed it.
Go here and look. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agar_diffusion_test
Dot,
I would rather than apologize just learn "I" messages. More in next post, I just saw all the added posts when I picked up again. I am in time limited edit mode.

I haven't said ~ but I have major problems with my left ear and my jaw. (TMJ).
I can hear, but I have constant pain in my jaw and teeth and ear. All part of the damage I have done to myself from years of self-abuse, and the stress it has caused.
So I really feel for you guys....

Dot,
You need to learn "I" message construction and use them to say what you feel andd why but most importantly they always end with "I would like" then tell them what you would like them to do instead of the offending action.
I-message - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rread when to try "I" messages here: I-Messages and You-Messages | Beyond Intractability
i statement exercises - Bing Videos
Practice I messages or statements, they really work.
Jen,
That is so fulfilling to hear about the child's world opening up, and I can only imagine how thrilling to be apart of making it happen.
Jen, we all get tired, but practice makes perfect. If I have folks wanting to learn, in person, after an hour class, then doing home assignments to get comfortable using
"I" messages, by the third hour they have it down pat.
Mags,
We don't do children anymore so it sets us on edge when ill behaved children are allowed free reign too.
Cut him (or her or me) a sprout is like saying give him (or her or me ) a break.
Everybody remember that conflict in any group of two or more is inevitable. What distinguishes good conflict resolution is how we actually handle conflict. Conflict is natural and can be healthy if resolved in a win win.

Hey everyone, so it seems that I'm going through the breakup that I've been putting off for months. I am realizing now how much I was leaning on him, what a huge part of my life he was and how I wasn't presesnt fully in my life here because I was so tethered to him. I was terrified to let go. It is really hurtful thinking of h im with another woman, but it's also freed me to be a full member of my own life. Not just a bystander. I so needed to move on, and I know that he did too.
The radio station is giving me more responsibility, I'm responsible for programming while the bosses are away for Christmas holiday for two weeks! Eep. I was going to go to Budapest sooner than later but I'm thinking I will see this internship through. Money is a problem though, as usual. Sigh.

What joy about that little girl, Jeni!
I think an apology would be good, too. It would definitely thaw any chill that might have formed. Just ponder and pray about it so that you genuinely mean it from the bottom of your heart. And resist any urge to say, "I'm sorry, but..."
InPar, I'm sorry you won't get to Budapest soon, but glad that your internship is working so well.
Treerat, I'm sorry about your sinus pain! Hope you feel better soon.

Totally off topic
Gilmer I've just spotted you live in Ashburn. In 1600-ish a man was made to change his name from Ashburner to his fiancées name (my surname) before Pop would let them marry.

OT - off topic
Just had a phone call from my manic depressive (my diagnosis) brother in law. Who wanted to buy me a case of non-alcoholic beer. I said no thank you and explained that I am an alcoholic. He said he never had a clue and that he is trying to go dry too because it messes with his mental health. We are going to support each other sobriety.

Hi Overs,
Only time for a quick pop in hello this morning. Certainly a lot of life on life's terms going on here. I do hope that everyone is doing well in their sobriety and recovery program(s). For me, staying sober must remain the most important thing in my life...ever day. If I can accomplish just that one thing, so much else becomes possible.
Life, work and play have me quite busy these days. This weekend I am spending one day with my oldest daughter who has an 8 month bump. The other day has quite the exciting rendezvous planned with an out of the area recovery friend. Our busy agenda includes attending two AA meetings. Should be a great weekend.
Last night I realized that one of my headlights is out and I am off to buy and replace it. I watched a couple youtube vids on how and it seems doable even for this not so handyman. The real beef is needing to do it in the cold...brrrrrrrr. Doing it outside in the cold is not as much fun as it was in my younger years. Hey, I decided to clean the cover at the same time. Bopped around the google on it and it seems the preferred "easy" method is toothpaste. Haha, I will be happy to report my success, or lack there of tomorrow.
One last quickie. Our good friend DG is on an SR break in the action. However, her recovery remains intact and as strong as ever. Yesterday marked 20 months for her. So, Drummer Girl, wherever you are, here is a BIG congrats shout out from a fan!
Enjoy today, Overs.
