B is uncirced. I only have 20 months experience with it, but everything has been fine. You don't do anything until the skin retracts on it's own which happened between 3 and 5 yrs, I think. Then it is just hygene, just like you'd teach a girl.

Hahaha about the sex toy shopping, Val. That's one of those things that you cannot do alone.

Ugh, sorry about the botched epi, Christine! I hope the headaches go away soon! Did it work ok, once they got it right? Glad to hear the vacuum worked quickly!

How is your headache today, Karen? I'm assuming you're home again, if you are posting.

michele, I made it to work. I usually read posts throughout the day, but try to only post at night after kids' bedtime. But baby news deserves a post! Headache is better today. I can move around pretty well but am taking it slowly. It is funny how screaming kids make it come back so quickly. Must be the perfect headache pitch.

laurie, I have a coworker with diet issues and she was just told to avoid wheat. When I asked if it was celiac, she did not know. She was just told avoid wheat. Do you know if there is a difference? Can you point me to any resources that could help her figure out what she can eat? Any resources that can give her some creative easy recipes? How long will it be before she notices a difference? I will do some looking too, but with the wealth of info out there, I figured you may have weeded out the worthess ones.

any help would be appreciated! Thx!

How do you feel about your stock sell-offs, Karen? I'm glad to see the Dow moving upward today...hopes it keeps up. The past few days have been scary! I don't even want to open my 401k statements. Ugh.

I sold my winners monday and still made a little profit. Tuesday came and I was not bothered by the move up. It will be like this for a while. Up and down - trending downward I think. And I consider it a buying opportunity. I will buy more of my losers and lower my cost basis. Then I will take the opportunity to invest in a couple of dividend payers and give the rest to a management firm. I'm tired of the stress of not being able to watch this so closely. We are fine anyway. Our short trm is mostly cash, retirement is more heavily invested.

during the 08 crash, I stopped opening statements. If I'm not selling, then it won't matter if I know or not. (that was a good approach b/c I lost nearly 65% on paper at one point) I still agree with that. 401's are long term. you can ride it out, plus if it is a current account you have the advantage of continuing to buy funds at lower prices. Becuse I am trying to get more involved with my money, I have chosed to watch it. My stomach is stronger than it was in 08.
