Controversial Topics Several months ago, I added a private sub-forum to allow members to discuss these topics without fear of infractions or banning. It's opt-in, opt-out. Corey Click Here
Another pastor's wife here. We've had our church withhold money from each check and submit it so that we don't get hit with quarterly taxes or nasty end of the year bills! Even though we're paying self-employed, it seems like less of a burden that way.
One other reason for a Foley in a 100 year old woman would be to prevent urine retention and probable UTI. UTI's quickly go septic in elderly patients and the broken hip would become a moot point. Pressure sores (from constantly damp skin and immobility) can also easily become infected.

Our plan works sort of like you describe. It's a health reimbursement account medical plan. We pay a monthly premium that pays our 100% of our costs up to $2250 for our family. Then our $1500 deductible kicks in. After that, it's an 80/20 PPO plan.
Annual physicals are covered 100% no...
I would ONLY take my kids to an ophthalmologist for their first visit for an eye screen. Kids can have medical problems that cause their eyes to not work properly.
My oldest could see everything perfectly but when he was screened at the pediatrician at age 3, she felt something was a...
Monkeybug, I read your posts and thought "she's talking about Westside!"
You can probably look at my user name and tell we spent time in IOW. My kids went to Hardy and then my son had 2 years at Westside before we moved away. We lived right in town so my K-3 kids weren't on the bus for very...
Both of my girls' names are on the dog name list (I'm pretty sure I've seen them on a cat name list too). It doesn't bother us in the least.
Southern women have been giving their sons surnames for first names for years: Hill, Harper, Parker, Jackson, Smith. It's not a new trend. Check out...
My DD's swim team has a annual fundraising requirement of $220. Anything raised over that amount is split between the team and a check that is sent back to you. We can sell ads for the team handbook and meet booklets, participate in a "swim a thon" by collecting donations or using a Kroger...
My DH coached t-ball for 4 years and since it's the same age group I'll tell you his best coaching tip.
Make sure everyone goes to the bathroom before the game starts! :rotfl2:
If one player has to go, suddenly the whole team will need to go.
Lots of great tips in the thread. For the...
Check out Maymont. It is an historic home with lots of gardens and a small nature center (small fee for that part). Beautiful grounds with lots of room to move around.
If you were a member of a children's museum in Florida, the Science Museum or Children's museum probably have reciprocal...
If the baby is sideways (transverse) there is no possible way to deliver the baby without surgery. The physics just won't work. Many hospitals also will only deliver breech babies via C-section due to the higher risk of complications (shoulder dislocation, stretching of mom's parts, etc.) The...
My favorite supplies after delivery were the pads that contained a cooling gel. They were the super pads and you popped them like an instant ice pack. Very soothing on inflamed post-partum tissue.
OP, when you take your birth classes, the hospital should give you information on things...
I know nothing about lodging in Williamsburg, but there are passes with entry to CW, BG and water country. You may find it cheaper to buy either the Bounce pass or Flex pass and find a cheaper hotel.
Alton Brown had a show on drinks and he said that one thing that differentiates vodkas is the amount of filtering they go through. The more impurities out, the higher the price.
He said that a cheap vodka run through a water filtration pitcher a few times would taste the same as a more...
You can check to see if the Flying Squirrels are in town (minor league baseball).
World of Mirth (toy store) is the only thing I can think of in Carytown that might interest a 13 yo boy.
History buffs would appreciate a drive down Monument Ave. or a walk around Hollywood cemetery...
North Carolina has put up billboards that show a baby with a frown and the caption "No vaccination? No kisses!"
I wish I could find a picture because the baby is adorable and it really catches your eye.
I got my tetanus booster 3 years ago when I was teaching preschool and my doctor told...
My kids have enough iCarly and victorious episodes DVR'd to keep them happy when they get bored with Disney or a movie.
However, this needs to be resolved by next week when Colbert comes back from vacation! How will I get my election coverage without Comedy Central? :rotfl:
Are you near a Kroger? They carry Disney cards and right now they are having a promo that Cracker Barrel cards give you 4x the fuel points (other gift cards are 2x).
