I'm saving them, too. I'm trying to save five sets of them for all five of my grandkids. I'm doing pretty well through the end of 2006, but I don't have all I need of the 2007 ones yet.

I was diagnosed about two years ago with Sjogren's Syndrome, another of the auto-immune disorders. It has caused early onset arthritis and I have the dry eyes and mouth. I have a great rheumatology group, though, with five great docs only about 45 minutes from my home. I turned out to be...

I have had the same procedure done TWICE on my entire mouth. The periodontist did one quarter of my mouth at a time which meant four visits to do the whole mouth. He numbed the area extremely well and I did not feel a thing while he was doing it. The only uncomfortable thing about having it...

I have carpal tunnel in my right hand that was diagnosed about 2 1/2 years ago. I have a splint that I wear at night when it is really bothersome. Last year, I had a cortisone injection in my right wrist that was very effective for about 9 months, then I had another one last month. I know a...

Yes, it was just lovely driving into work this morning! I work in Pittsburgh, but actually live about 60 miles away in the mountains to the east, so I actually had more snow at home when I left than there is in the city right now. I think I will probably be leaving early today because they are...

I work in the area and I've been praying and watching this story all week since the little girl went missing last weekend and just cried when she was found. But when I heard a few days ago that her father actually admitted to putting her outside in just a diaper, sweater and blanket in sub-zero...

Well, not sure if my two cents are worth much, but I think Mike Tomlin is in the same mold as Bill Cowher. Who ever heard of that 34 year old in 1992 when he was hired? And look at how well he did for the Steelers!! Unfortunately, I think some new blood in the coaching staff is needed right...

Just my two cents worth for those who are quitting!! I quit almost three years ago and still get occasional cravings. My husband and I quit at the same time after trying individually a number of times without success!!! We both used the patch, but what helped the most was sugarless mints...

I am so sorry you are suffering from migraines. I used to get them 2-3 times per year, but since July 2006, they have been much more frequent. I was given a prescription for Maxalt in August 2006 which is a medication that is taken as soon as an aura begins and dissolves on the tongue. If...

I taught myself to crochet when I was 12 or 13 and then to knit about 5 or 6 years later. Right now, I knit more than crochet and have been doing mostly baby outfits since so many of my family and friends are having babies lately! My husband even got me some tags with my name on them to sew...

Thank you all for your kind thoughts and prayers. It has been very hard for me not having Smoky around any more. I actually had her twice as long as I have known my husband!! But the support I have found here has been very helpful. One of our dogs is having a tough time with the loss too...

I posted here a few weeks ago about Smoky losing weight pretty rapidly. The vet did a blood panel which came back normal. He gave us some medicine to stimulate her appetite and a laxative to loosen any possible hairballs that could be stuck (she had that problem when she was two years old)...

My cat, Smoky, is about 15 years old and I have had her since she was four weeks old. She has always been a healthy cat and very active. About 10 days ago, we noticed that she was not eating as much as usual (we give her canned food in the morning and dry at night). Then, she stopped pooping...

Hi, just wanted to introduce myself to all of you. I live in PA and have one cat, Smoky, who is now about 15 years old. I also have two dogs, Alex and Annie, but Smoky has taught them that she is the one in charge even if they are bigger than she is!! I came here because I am having some...
