That would probably work...I would still have to charge for the chicken pendants and my time.

But that would work.

Done!
I will dig out my beads & send them to you!!
Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Send me your address by PM...

have you ever run across beads with large center holes? all the ones I could find were 1/4 inch, I need slightly bigger center holes. 5/16's

I remember you have neighbors across the street ?
Wildveiw cam takes infrared pics, but then you still do not know who it is....locking gas cap is what I would do, the kind that needs a key!!!

We have neighbors all around us. Only two houses here that I don't know who the residents are. I will be getting a locking gas cap hopefully tomorrow. I am so incredibly mad.

Go and buy a locking cap....we did for our truck. Especially since gas is supposed to reach $7/gallon this summer.

Oh good gods! I am so not gonna be able to afford to work if gas gets up that high. We dont have acurate bus transportation out here. And the busses that do come out this way are only here twice a day, and not the early morning times that I need...

Which always amazes me since all they have to do is dust for a few fingerprints and will probably find the thief since they probably already have a record anyway. Lazy Cops! And they waste all their time on petty MJ. What kind of message is that? All it says is you can go and steal all the gas you want and nothing is going to happen to you. It's a free for all.

Even with the overuse of antibiotics, that seems a bit crazy to me. When I was pregnant and DD stuck her foot out of me, I had to be on IV antibiotics for the duration of the pregnancy even though I never tested positive! They gave me so many, it wiped out my intestinal fauna and all the good bacteria as well, until yeast set in, so then they'd do 3 days IV Flagl and back to the antibiotics with the Flagl treatments every few weeks. Olivia is very allergic to antibiotics (have not tried antifungals). I would blame her in-utero exposure, but I have many family members with extreme antibiotic allergies. Poor thing - that is probably why she was born with lizard skin!

Sending someone home without antibiotics and pain meds after such an invasive procedure, especially someone with a weakened immune system, seems beyond stupid. It is uncaring and neglectful!

Especially an 80 year old woman..it is manslaughter.

Sometimes with older patients I wonder if it is intentional neglect. My sister's 97 yo GFiL went to the hopital for something minor a couple years back and never came out alive. I can no longer remember what it was he had, but I remember we were all furious that they were denying him some pretty basic treatment for it. The Drs. said he was old, his time was up, and his body was shutting down. I suspect that insurance companies come in to play for many of these decisions. I know I was not alone in feeling that he was dying because they would not treat him, not the other way around! Just a few weeks earlier, he was staying with my sister who had just moved to Elk Grove. He usually lived with his daughter due to transient dementia. He was upset that my sister would not allow any fish in her house (Old Norweigan who likes his Ludefisk), so he stormed out the door to take a walk to cool down. My sister knew he would not want her to follow, but she was worried about him losing his way in a place he had never been to before where all the houses look the same, so she went outside to wash the car. When he came back a little while later "What, you worried I'm gonna get lost or something? Well, my hearing may be lousy, but my mind is as sharp as it ever was!"

Remember the man who called me Friday who lost his wife on Thursday? He came in today to file an extension, and he said that even though the Drs. knew his wife was dying and in severe pain fro the last 10 days, they would not give her any pain killers because they dropped her heart rate too much and might kill her! She had kept her Canadian citizenship for the healthcare coverage, but in the end, she was too ill to make the journey.

Would it not be soooo gratifying to fill your truck up with sugared gas...since you do not drive it and it is just sitting there~~

Next thing ya know, one of your neighbor's cars is gonna have a blown top end !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fry the valves !!!!!!!!!!!! Arrrgghh! That would be so cool!!!
I'd loan ya my wildlife cam...

WRONG!!!!!!!!!! No Painkiller reduce heart rate!!!!!!!!!!!!! NONE!!!!!!!!!!!

Edited to add: except opiates...Demerol (my love and the only one I can take) and the like MAY reduce the heart rate a bit, depending on the dosage, yeah, so don't give her too much is what I say!

If you would like, I can send some to you next time I do a Fire Mountain order. Several friends and I place orders together so we can reach the deep discount levels. I'll let you know next time we place an order. It takes us a week or more to put the order together - as more stuff gets added on, the discount becomes greater which temps us to purchase even more!

I need to find someone who will do this with Vintaj brand natural brass as that is what I like working with. I no longer have my business licencse, and I no longer make enough to buy each component in bulk.

Oh that would probably work....I am not sure how much time I'll have to do too much beading with the breeding season in full swing now and being preggy...but I'll definitely be looking for some beads next winter--which is the time I do most of my beading!

I'd be embarrassed to take post how many boxes full of beads I own.... went a little carzy; but always, when I run out of the basics, I still buy more beads! Last time I bought a bunch of design boards and now I host an occasional beading workshop in my basement where I charge a workshop fee plus materials, and any help a person might need. I do better at those than at shows, and they usually end up buying a few ready-made pieces from me too when they realize how time-consuming some of the pieces can be to make.
