An OBGYN may be perfectly qualified to prescribe Serafem, since it is indicated for a menstrual-related condition. While some docs live in the dark ages, others actually keep up with new things going on in their fields, take courses, go to conferences, etc. However, it does seem odd that she...

I often keep mine up until New Years, but this year I am taking it down this Sunday (would be Saturday, but we're going out for the whole day). I usually try to put it up the week before Christmas, but with in-laws arriving and the actual day being near the end of the week, I ended up putting...

He will probably complain loudly, but try kneeling on the floor and pinning him between your thighs, his butt to your front, and grab at the poop with a baby wipe or (if you're brave and/or don't have baby wipes around) a wet paper towel. You might have to go back a few times to get it all if...

If you reaaaaally stretched the definition, you could say I live in the faaaar west end of Montreal.... or the east end of Ottawa. I only have to drive about 100km to get to the beginning of west Montreal.

If it doesn't work this time, definitely go to a professional. You may have to sign a waiver because they generally won't colour hair that you've coloured yourself. Or you could cut it off short and grow it out?

Ady, you should check out the PCOS support group message board at WebMD - I don't have PCOS, but it is right near the endometriosis board (which I do have) and several women who post there have both conditions. I've been visiting that board for several years through my diagnostic process, and...

If he doesn't settle down after a week or two, you could try changing his bowl. Our Elsa started knocking the water dishes over a few months ago, and drinking from the floor. We experimented with different permutations of bowls, water levels and placemat/not for the water area, and she seemed...

The only thing I have covered is my ironing board... I figure that if I have cats, there will be fur and scratches on the furniture, and I live with it. But then again, not a lot of people visit my house, so I'm the only one who sees it...

The clerk's footprint had the crest of the courthouse melted into the sole when he put out a cigarette on a metal crest on the sidewalk outside the courthouse. Plus, Greg found his old police uniform in a sewer near the house, he had used it to get into the house (knocked on the door and said...

There was a time when I was the only girl in my class with boobs (it was a small school, but they *were* big boobs...) The boys called me Boom-Boom for a while, until everyone else caught up a bit.

... sort of like sweet-tarts (that chalky-powdery kind of candy) but in soda pop flavours like root beer, cola, grape, etc. and in the shape of an old-fashioned bottle cap that you need an opener for.

My parents' (late) Maine Coon, Blue, used to spend a lot of time with the tip of her tongue out. Since she was an outdoor cat, it would get dirty sometimes, and the tip would be grey and the rest pink. It didn't seem to bother her, though. Then again, she used to drink out of the swimming...

CANDY CORN!!!

I think they should at least wait until after Remembrance Day (Nov. 11) - is that Veteran's Day in the states? Christmas decorations are too festive for what should be a somber time. Some merchants in my area specifically waited until Nov 12, and I told each and every one of them that it was...

I first read about it here on the Cat Site. I was out of work at the time, and spending my requisite hour or so here every morning, when someone posted that a plane had hit the WTC. I figured it was an accident or something, and was in no hurry to finish up on the 'net. Eventually I went...
