Hometown of the chemical company that rhymes with cow.  Also the hometown of the Wysong food company.  

Biotene.  It's never on sale.  

Bought a MacBookPro about a year ago.  I can barely do anything with it.  I wish there was a place nearby to take classes. The computer charting that I do at work is PC, but Cerner Surginet isn't a very user-friendly program.  I'm sure it was cheap though. 

I can tell you from experience, no one will miss you.  Sorry to sound so negative, but here's my experience.  At one time I was a regular poster, and did the question of the day. A little over a year ago, my sister committed suicide.  Two months later, my mother was diagnosed with inoperable...

My vet recommends pre-op blood work for animals of any age undergoing anesthesia.  This is how we found Cleo's CRF, when we did pre-spay bloodwork at 6 months old.  Cleo will be 12 years old in May.  We've been VERY successful keeping her renal failure under control...and it started with being...

OHMYGOSH!  Thank you!  Cleo has a new name....Mischief Maker, and I have a new hero!  I don't know which buttons she pushed, but I bet I couldn't even do it with opposable thumbs!   I really need to sit down and figure out how this computer works.  It seems like every day it's something new...

Thanks...I tried that, but my desktop is still sized larger than my screen.  I have to scroll left to right to see the apple in the left to the time on the right.  I have to scroll up and down to see the desktop navigation line to my dock.   So there's nothing like the PC's system restore on...

I have a new laptop.  I decided to go with a MacBook, since I was tired of Microsoft and all the virus issues.  I know nothing (or as close to nothing as humanly possible) about things Apple.  Cleo decided to walk across the keyboard, and my desktop resolution (?) or size has changed, and I...

I've read all three books and seen all the Swedish movies (loved all of them.)  I've been hesitant to see the US version, mainly because Hollywood can screw up the best.  I wasn't sure they'd be able to top Noomi Rapace and Mikael Nyqvist in the lead roles (I personally don't find Daniel Craig...

Cleo (Chronic Renal Failure 10+ years) used to shiver all the time (sometime for a few seconds, other times for minutes at a time.)  It was odd, because it never seemed to be associated with temperature (the house was warm) or fear/anxiety (she'd be sitting on my lap purring.)  She gets subQ...

I use my grandma's old wooden one too.  It's really sturdy, and isn't too high (like most of the new ones seem to be.)  It's well padded, so I can pin creases and do alterations. You should try looking on eBay.  That's become my 'go to' shopping place.  I can find unusual items, and often at a...

I'm an O.R. nurse, so I have often been on call (and worked) for Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Years.  It's just part of the job.

I just purchased the Nook color last weekend. I have wi-fi for my laptop, so it works fine with that. The hospital where I work has wi-fi also. I like the backlight for reading in the dark or low light situations. I like being able to surf the web on it. I've already downloaded and read...

I need to go to Kroger tomorrow for milk. I will check and see if they have Red Rose. If they do, I'm going to make some for me and my dad (we're both iced tea-aholics!)

They still make it??? You can still find Red Rose????? Where???
