2) I often get within one of the daily postings a

With apoligies if I'm underestimating your e-mail

savvy, I believe what you want to do is instead of

clicking on " Compose " to send a message use " Reply " . A

box for you to write in will pop up with the message

you are responding to already in it. You can edit this

message as you want. As I have done to yours.

3) On several occasions I have duplicate & /or

triplicate messages within one daily posting? Is this

my IP, windows, outlook express, or something with the

onelist?

This thing comes and goes for me and I belive it's a

hiccup at onelist since I don't have this problem with

other e-mail but I may be wrong.

Thanks to anyone who can help me be a little more " e "

literate.

Hi Gillian,

Isn't that always the way? Our kids' symptoms always disappear when we

get them to the doctor's office. I'm glad Hermes got a clean bill of health.

Stay warm!

SHAKE IT OFF AND STEP UP!

This parable is told of a farmer who

owned an old

mule. The mule fell into the farmer's

well. The

farmer heard the mule praying or

whatever mules do

when they fall into wells. After

carefully assessing

the situation, the farmer sympathized

with the mule,

but decided that neither the mule nor

the well was

worth the trouble of saving. Instead, he

called his

neighbors together, told them what had

happened,

and enlisted them to help haul dirt to

bury the old

mule in the well and put him out of his

misery.

Initially the old mule was hysterical!

But as the

farmer and his neighbors continued

shoveling and

the dirt hit his back. . . a thought

struck him. It

suddenly dawned on him that every time a

shovel load

of dirt landed on his back, HE WOULD

SHAKE IT OFF AND

STEP UP! This he did, blow after blow.

" Shake it off

and step up. . . shake it off and step

up. . . shake

it off and step up! " He repeated to

encourage

himself.

No matter how painful the blows, or how

distressing

the situation seemed, the old mule

fought panic and

just kept right on SHAKING IT OFF AND

STEPPING UP!

It wasn't long before the old mule,

battered and

exhausted, stepped triumphantly over the

wall of

that well!

What seemed like it would bury him

actually helped

him. . . all because of the manner in

which he

handled his adversity. THAT'S LIFE! If

we face our

problems and respond to them positively,

and refuse

to give in to panic, bitterness, or

self-pity. . .

THE ADVERSITIES THAT COME ALONG TO BURY

US USUALLY

HAVE WITHIN THEM THE VERY REAL POTENTIAL

TO BENEFIT

US!

Never be afraid to try something new.

Remember

that amateurs built the ark.

Professionals built

the Titanic.

[Guest guest]

To Gillian -- don't fall off that ladder while you are painting the ceiling.

But I can't visualize how you are going to do this with your bad shoulder.

Be careful! We all like having you around. Love, Bunny

I have not noticed this, has anyone else? It seems like we all have many

experiences that DO relate to PA - falls, job issues, etc. Even walking the

dog is a trial so I think most of what I've observed in the short time I've

been on this list is very appropriate. And the humor is appropriate

also...it is needed at times.

Roy, etc.

I am a fairly new member to this list. I can speak only for myself but after

a hard, stressful and painful day at work it is a pleasure to know that

although this disease is depilating to our bodies we can still have a sense

of humor and even at times laugh at ourselves. We share our pain, we share

our doctor stories, test results, and support each other, why shouldn't we

share our lives with each other.

[Guest guest]

I can not believe how rude this message was. I think I have had it with

this list too. I enjoy the information given here & it is also enjoyable to

hear about " LIFE " experiences. If you want to only read about the technical

part of psoriatic arthritis, get a book. I am signing off too. How rude,

you should be ashamed!

Debbie...please don't leave because of that message...

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone and Patty Bacon,

I don't really care if it's OT or not OT. What was getting to me was the

really long lengths of the emails. And automatically quoting the original

message was adding to the length. The moderator used to remind people not

do it automatically. So short OTs like the kitty I liked, really long OTs I

don't like. And I don't mean long once in awhile but really long

repeatedly. That's just my opinion. Noone else has to agree with it just

as I don't have to agree to like them. Surely this idea shouldn't test our

patience *that* much. If so, just scroll through it.

Congratulations Colleen!! It takes a special person to do daycare.

Hi all! I hope you don't mind but I had to tell someone else this

news. Long story, made real short-I hate my " real " job and have been

looking to get out of there for years. Last year I went from manager to

pt and this Aug. I got my daycare license.

Last week I had a couple come interview me to take care of their 6wk.

old son. I heard from a couple people I gave them as references that

they'd called and hadn't checked anyone else's references they met.

That gave me hope! Thurs. I left a message for them and heard nothing

all weekend. I became discouraged and thought for sure they had chosen

someone else. Welllll, yesterday the wife called and at the end of the

month I'll be watching their son!!!

Not only is my soap business coming together, but so is my daycare!

Can't afford to totally quit the pt job yet, but getting closer!

Thanks for letting me share!

Way to go Colleen! Your a better person than me. I did the daycare routine a

few times, but started after my son had started school....I wasn't happy

cause I had gotten used to having my days child free to clean (occasionally

LOL) and for soaping.

Best of luck!

oh this is nice--now we have little girls already starting ot believe that they need medical intervention to have a baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my best friend from school had a planned c-section with her 2nd baby--had emergency one with the first. anyway, she was thrilled to be able to plan what day it would be, pick a date, schedule it, no hurry, no worry, no mess, just a done deal. i felt so sorry for her that this was how she felt about something that is so unique and special for her. well, obviously not special for her--but could be. sigh...

[Guest guest]

babies know how to come out. yes there are emergencies but in most cases let

your body take over you body an that baby will do it all

[Guest guest]

A friend sent this to me and I was so sickened... wanted to share this with

you. Let's educate our kids now! My daughter watched her baby brother

being born. Many thought I was crazy to let her see and thought it was

abuse... after reading this, I KNOW I did the right thing.

I found this on a pregnancy site in a Kids say the darnest things catagory.

I thought it was really a sad comment on our medicalized culture.

When I was about six months pregnant, my husband, my two stepdaughters

(aged 3 1/2 and 4 1/2) and myself were sitting around discussing how a baby

" comes out. " The girls, and Daina, both replied, " the doctor cuts

your tummy open and he gets the baby out. " Both girls were born by Casarean

section and their new baby cousin was also delivered by Casarean, so they

didn't know of any other way. My husband told them that there was another

way that a baby can be born, which is out of the vagina. They both looked

at him horrified and flatly refused to believe him, even after he showed

them pictures. After my husband left the room, , the elder, whispered

in my ear, " Don't worry, you don't really have to do what daddy says, you

can get the doctor to cut your tummy open. " They also added that only

animals have babies like that. Don't kids just say the darnedest things? "

That's sad. I was 11 when I witnessed the home birth of my little

brother. I was amazed!!! An enriching experience, to say the least. My

next child will be a home-birth.

I wonder how long it will be before a C-section is the common way of having

birth? I mean, it is just so much more convenient for the doctors, and they

make so much more $$$...

It is not for everyone but it is a beautiful and comfortable experience. I

try to advise everyone to have their baby where they are comfortable and

with people they are comfortable with. I loved having my baby in my bed

and then just staying there right next to my baby and nursing until we both

fell asleep. Pure heaven!
