^this


I Would think this universal for everyone


Yet the difficulty in finding a solution remains


Jackets and blankets only do it so much. Dogs or cats don't stay to long one place before they want walk away.


Clearly you haven't met my dogs, they can stay in one place for an many hours.
Unfortunately, they all have a bit of a flea problem :(



Have you tried flea baths. It worked for my dog


I use dish soap, kills fleas better then the $20 flea soap. But the fleas seem to live in the sand around where I live (and I think the sand gets them from the squirrels). I give them a bath, they go out, and the next day they have just as many as before.


How about flea repellent, you can get the good stuff from a vet


All it did was slow them down.


:scratch: I guess you should contunine using the flea repellent then so you don't have the headach of dealing with fleas everyday. Am out of ideas :( your poor dogs

I have a cat and my feather pillow I do that with. Still I know what you mean even though I'm not the cuddle type it'd be nice to have a nice clean guy in my bed to put my arm around or the other way around. I should really get a single size bed instead of a queen one. Makes you think you're suppose to have someone or something lying next to you that's larger than a cat.. :?


Aww just get more cats or sleep in the middle to make up for the space



Ha! Don't I wish.

If I had the money to afford it, I'd have cats, dogs, birds and a pasture of wild animals. I'd be like one of those "witches" who lives alone in the woods given a name like Agnus the Hag or Alice the Hag.

hogging all the blankets and snoring is allowed !
I've never elbowed myself for snoring, and never had all the blankets torn off of me while asleep.

That's.... impressive 8O

I used to snore like a train and wake my parents up until I started sleeping on my side.

I don't know, I was sleeping. And my elbow wouldn't tell me why.

for me its cuddling. i long to hold someone i care about more than anything else in the world. cuddling with my pillow is hardly the same.

iuno.. it just really sucks that i know i have the potential to make someone really happy, but no one seems interested in me. i've decided that i would never cheat, or lie, or hit a girl in a million years, no matter what they did or said to me. meanwhile we have girls getting cheated on, beat up, and / or demoralized, and they all still love their BF's and dont want to leave them!

heck, even the girl i like doesnt is too stuck on the guy who dumped her for someone who lives 100000 miles away!

SIGH.

and, honestly? how am i supposed to keep a girl interested or intrigued in the first place? the only thing i can really talk for days about is video games and not a lot of girls play those. and if they DO play video games, they dont seem to live anywhere near where i do!

'hey, i really like you but... sorry.. im boring as **** and i havent the slightest idea how to interact with you at all. i'll try super hard but.. would that even matter?'

actually Im going to alter this, the hardest thing for me is going into baby scans as everyone in the waiting room has an adoring partner gazing at them, squeezing their hand and it makes me feel such a revolting, unloved loser. I expect the thing which will be worse than that though will be going in for my caesarian on my own, that will be so frightening and lonely.

i'm sorry. :( how desolate the feeling. is there no way out of the C-section type of delivery?

I just have to wait and see, my placenta is too low, there is still quite a chance it may move, Ive got ages yet so loads of time to ruminate on it and scare myself, Im really scared of c-sections and they dont let you hold the baby for ages as it takes over half an hour to be sown up.

Im full of self pity at the moment.

any decent surgeon, on a first c-section with no previous scarring/adhesions, will be able to be in and out ["skin to skin"] in a half hour, tops. when i worked in L&D that was the average surgery time for most first c-sections. there is a uterine surgical incision and staple system which cuts time drastically, they make a small uterine incision, then they insert the device and it makes the bilateral incision and seals off the incision edges simultaneously. all that is left is to sew the uterus closed once the placenta is extracted and the endometrium is policed of any remaining placental tissue. you might ask the surgeon for a "plastic closure" [careful edge-to-edge tissue approximation using close-order fine sutures]. they can also suffuse the area with a local anaesthetic during the closure to minimize post-surgical pain if they give you a general. you should discuss this with your anaesthetist/surgeon during the pre-op. the thing to remember concerning c-sections, are that they will [unless it is emergent] give you regional anesthesia [something like a spinal or epidural] and you will be awake [but numbed from the abdomen down] during the procedure, and because of this they will at least give you a good look at your newborn, and they generally won't rush the infant out unless s/he is in need of neonatal intensive care for one reason or another. the present practice is to keep you and baby together from the get-go, as much as possible. you will have matching ID bands you will both wear for the duration of your hospitalization. during your recovery you will become acquainted with your belly pillow and encouraged to walk. you will make it through alright.

I think I'd be more motivated if I had to do things for someone else besides myself. I have no interest when it comes to cooking for me alone. It's not that I can't cook, it's just that I have no reason to put more than the least possible effort into it, which means I'm eating the same things all the time and not having a healthy balance.

don't knock it 'til you try it. it may be more effective than you imagine, on a counterintuitive level.
