still around but not on this site much, too much drama

good to see this thread come back to life

it is actually liquid ibuprophen for children. ask the pharmacist the dosage for your weight.

my surgeon has no problem with me or my husband taking advil. in fact they recommend it after surgery in place of the pain meds they gave after surgery. they do recommend liquid as the pills are harder to swallow and as with all pain meds in moderation. every surgeon is different so please ask yours.

sounds great to me I am teaching my 5 year old to appreciate them too!!!

thanks Plain I love the Olympics and wish they were more often sorry everyone but I do

HAppy late birthday all and Froggi great on the weight loss

I use the gummies too, I now have to switch as they are now getting stuck, I don't like regular chewables as I can't stand the taste, they tend to gag me. So the doctor told me to get regular ones and cut them up, into halves or thirds.

Yep you are probably right. We had to move our one betta to his own tank as he was attacking the others in which ever tank we put him in. (we also have a 10 gallon with mostly guppies)

I have to agree about the snake "shudder" I hate snakes!!!! But why not an aquatic frog that stays in the water with the fish? we have a 29 gallon aquarium that has neon tetras, hatchet fish, black skirt tetras, 2 snails and 2 frogs. It is fun to watch the frogs and try to find them. they love to just hang around the floral bushes we have in there, oh did I say hang around, well I mean hang off!!!:biggrin:

Froggi, my DD wants me to tell you 'she likes frogs, cool I like frogs too'. she is 5 1/2 and she has 2 frogs in our aquarium.

Great Job!!!!! I am proud of you!!! you are doing great!!!!!:eek:

Froggie how did the weigh in go today??

I am craving BLT's. My tomatoes are about to ripen and when checking them today it was lik, "wow I would love a BLT with those fresh tomatoes". well here is the thing, both my husband and I are at the restriction that bread is hard to get down. He suggested toasting the bread extra to make it crunchy (he like things blackened) the only thing is I don't like the bread that toasts to a crisp (the supermarket brand that is thin) it tears my mouth apart and crumbles everywhere. I refuse to by it for DD. I like the whole grain breads that are heavy (made with whole grain not enriched) and the slices are thicker. I can't figure out how to make it crunchy and still good. What ideas does anyone have for a substitute? I know BLT's the bacon is not the best but I use the veggie alternative bacon, a healthier choice.

thanks for all the ideas they sound great I will have to try them

yum sounds good. I can't do sliced avocado any more it gets stuck like bananas do but I so want some. I will try an open face sandwich that sounds doable. thanks

Hi I get tight the week before my TOM each month. My sirgeon suggested that instead of filling and unfilling do water pills, he would even prescribe one himself. But it looks like both have reasons not to for you. you said you are looking for a non caffeine water pill, I found one at Walmart, not wure where else it would be. it is Sundown's Natural Water Pills. good luck

oh and I was going to suggest AZO in the vitamin aisle. I believe they have one for yeast besides for urinary tract.

After I had my DD I have a massive uti that went to my kidneys. They gave me a lose dose antibiotic to take immediately after intercourse. I had to do this for 6+months. To this day I am so afraid of this happening again that I have to get up with in minutes to clean up. No cuddle time for Gwen. But no repeats of the infection. (Truth be told it was from the cath they gave me during the birth. I made sure when I had lap-band surgery that they were to not put one in.)

We are going through a transition here, I work overnights and had been working 5 nights a week, starting this week I went part time and only work Fri, Sat and Sun nights. She and her dad have a routine and with me home it has thrown her off. (As any night I was off did, now there are 4 nights instead of 2) So we will work through it just may take awhile.

Monday and Tuesday she was awake until after 1230 am last night she finally fell asleep at 1230am. this is getting old. There must be something in the air this week.

just posting to say that my 5 yr old will not go to sleep this is the 3rd night in a row it is 1130pm here
