IBM think pad, rebuilt. Is there a way to load windows manually? |
| Question found in Hardware |
|
| Depending on your specs/hardware, yes, but the OS should be installed on a newly partitioned Hard Drive and with a "clean" OEM disk. You can also do a repair installation but you can run into problems without some knowledge of what to look for. |

My new vet suggested that I include a dewormer procedure at home as a yearly preventative measure for my 13 and 2 year old golden retrievers. However, they are both on the Heartgard plus program all year long. Is this really necessary? I would think that the heartgard plus is doing its part as a preventative for other worms. |
| Question found in Dogs In General |
|
| Heartguard protects from heartworms mostly. There is still a need for a general de-wormer for the other types in the stool, digestive, etc. As long as your vet knows about the heartguard and gives his approval, you will be okay with the additional meds. The dogs may experience a little digestive interruption for a couple of days but not longer. |

You have unfortunately become aware of what the effects of drugs can push you into. I'm not saying that drugs are not needed in your situation, but when the self-realization starts to sink in, you will start to improve. Don't get so desperate that you will attempt to harm yourself in any way. It is never that bad but your pain will always try to convince you otherwise. I was there and still fight enough pain to kill not one horse, but a herd. As a rule of thumb, most medications that wouldn't work before will now offer you some much needed relief if you will follow the docs instructions. Your system wouldn't allow this to happen but it may now. The ER's are not helpful in pain management so you must not go that route. I don't know your financial situation but there are many pain clinics out there who will gladly help you as long as you give them a chance. Try not to p*s them off anymore and they won't see you as a drug seeker if you are genuine with them and although their prescribed drugs will probably be what gives you much needed relief until they do find what is causing your pain. Don't give up. It's not the time to be thinking like that. Go with the honest to goodness intention of finding a doctor who will manage your pain while simultaneously trying to find and eliminate the cause. Follow their treatment program and you will see the results almost overnight. I have to get very routine nerve blocks which in the past, have never worked before. It is because of all of the many unnecessary drugs I was taking that caused the good ones to be less powerful in stopping or reducing my pain. I also take my pain killers like I am supposed to or I will run out of them. Think of it as a mission with positive long-term results. It can only get better now. You may have to take the suggested crap that others seem to bluff their way through but there is nobody out there who understands your pain like you do. Eventually your doctor will see this a long as you can keep him happy as well. I can't say it enough, don't give up. A doctor can put you under sedation and stick a long needle into a group of nerves and you will wake up sore but if placed in the right spot, it will drop your pain level to a time that you forgot even existed, all without getting high or any other side effects. I go to a place called microspine. It or a similar place near you can help if you will contact them and give them the basics. www.microspine.com Good luck as I will pray for your new discovery. |

My 10 year old is wearing dirty old worn out clothes behind my back, my husband doesn't think theres anything wrong with that, now the schools counselor gives him new clothes and shoes. I am going crazy and I have no one else to turn to, help me, his back talking and not caring if his brother gets hurt, help me please. |
| Question found in Personal Health Issues |
|
| This is something that will drive you crazy if you let it. This is a phase that a 10 year old boy will go through. They don't like to shower, brush their teeth, wear clean clothes and so on. It's just a boy being a boy and he will learn to do better by your example and especially when he begins an interest in girls. Most brothers will try to kill each other at this age but it will too pass. Just wait until a bully is picking on his brother and you will see how much he cares when it goes too far. Just be firm with your resolve in discipline as he will challenge you until he discovers the wrath of mom. Try not to let it worry you so much although it is easier said than done. It will pass eventually. |

My son & family visited from far away. 1st time in 4 years. We visit them yearly. He is a devout man of christian integrity, married with 3 young children. The night before departing, I stood beside my daughter-in-law and tried to give her a hug & told her I loved her. She was rigid & stepped away so I asked what was wrong. She said she didn't have a good visit and was disappointed in me. The time spent with my grandchildren was frequently interrupted & it broke her heart to see their feelings hurt . I burst into tears & my whole family watched. My son entered the room. His wife left, putting the kids to bed. My son was obviously disgusted with his wife. We talked a bit. Other family members left the room. He he had his own issues, saying I made him feel guilty for not spending enough time with us. |

The DIL has been pressing the issue of "time with the children". She says you don't and your son doesn't allow enough time for the children. Your son indicates you are pressing the issue with him not spending enough time with you. He's a busy man and it seems that you also are if there were too many interruptions during the visit. It's a long way to travel to spend this time together when all else is allowed to intrude. The only obvious answer may be to start spending more time with your son and teach him to him understand why this is important to fix, then you both must spend much more time with the children together. We are not on this earth very long. When we have obstacles, especially many miles between us, we tend to lose perspective of what is expected of us, and then we later regret allowing simple things, taken for granted, to become lost forever. You are a Father and Grandfather, the leader of your family by example, try to figure out how to bring this family closer in order to rid them of the guilt of distance between all of you, both literally and most of all, mentally. "as i hung up the phone it occured to me, he'd grown up just like me; my boy was just like me"...an old song I remember that made a lot of sense. Good luck to you and your family. |

I am retired and am negotiating to buy a small bungalow with a flat (slightly sloped) new roof of some sort of felt?. Is this a bad investment please? |
| Question found in Home & Garden In General |
|
| I think Mrs Saffron's answer is accurate. It appears that the term "felt" is the possible confusion, at least on my part. Felt is the black paper like rolled surface applied before the shingles or other type of roof is installed, according to my southern definition, and "roll" roofing is similar to the way felt is applied but more durable and as effective as actual shingles because it is made of the same type of material. In other words, if I were going to buy a place with a felt "unfinished" roof as opposed to a roll or shingled roof, then the price should be lower or at least a finished roof covering would apply. |
