However, in a home health situation, with an obtunded patient who requires frequent suctioning, it seems reasonable, with proper clean technique and disinfection between uses that a collection cannister should be used for no more than one month. I've been with this patient a year and am concerned that the equipment has only been replaced three times. Searches online and queries to the company that provides the equipment have elicited no information regarding replacemment/reuse parameters. Yakaurs and soft suctions are being replaced every week, but tubing and collection cannisters are not.

I had a ferret and found another I absolutely had to take home with me. Had trouble figuring out a name for the newbie. I had Taz (of course) and nothing seemed to fit the new little critter. One day while they were out romping and going crazy as ferrets do, dashing and bouncing around, going in reverse, doing their flips and clandestine attacks, I said, laughing, to the new one "Alright you crazy Spaz!", and there was his name. Spaz and Taz. How perfect?

I also have a cat that came to live with me as a very young kitten. He was (and still is) quite the biter. Even as a baby he thought himself the "tough guy". I couldn't figure out a name for him either, as he was like no other cat I had ever had personality-wise. I mentioned to a friend my dilemma, describing the little one as a fighter who wouldn't back down and didn't care how big the adversary was, only focused on winning the battle. My friend said "Like a mongoose? Like Ricky Tikki Tavi?" and there it was, his name became Ricky Tikki Tabby! So tell me the story of your pet's naming!

or anyone for that matter.

If so, what kind?

Seems every time I sit down here kitty wants my undivided attention. gets all over the keyboard, blocks the screen, lies on the mouse, even though I have made him his own perch right next to me!

eyes are getting heavy, can barely keep them open. But just one more answer, Well, oh, I can just answer this one more. OH, I didn't see that one, I can help...........???????????

I found a really cool site with very simple free games on it but don't understand all the lingo. I'm kinda figuring platform means levels, like the old Mario Bros. ?

Break (-ing bricks)

Tetris

Mario Brothers

Pong

Pac Man

Galaga

Brother who is too "keeping up with the Joneses"? Sister who is hell bent on misery, no matter what the family does for her? Child who refuses to let her 14 year old son get a job because it would mess up her - crap - what is it called, living on the public dole?

An ex-boyfriend sent me a song a few weeks ago called 'The Jeep Song' by the Dresden dolls. Now, we broke up a year and a half ago. And since I have a Jeep Cherokee it occurred to me that maybe he was being bothered by seeing vehicles like mine from time to time (poor baby, there are a LOT of them in this town. I have walked up to the wrong one more than once in a parking lot!). I used to look for his,,,, unsuccessfully. 1994 Red Chevy Blazers aren't very common. But I still get the flutters when I see even a red Jeep. So, am I the only one?

I only have 1 cup of milk and need 1 3/4 cups. Can I use table cream as a "rich" substitute? (it's canned), Or should I dilute it? Is sweetened condensed milk reconstituted okay? Is the reconstitution the same as evaporated milk (50/50)?

seems it actually means thank you nature gal....my other handle, LOL! So by the way, what does 77 stand for?

I know ty is thank you. ng - ? And any reference to a site where I can look this stuff up myself would be appreciated!

All recipes I have found call for gallons of fruit. Mega crop of blackberries in the acres. I get a gallon in two days if persistent about picking, but don't want to deprive the birds, turtles, bugs, etc. of their bounty. Pulled a bunch of recipes off the internet. Some say use yeast, some don't. In measuring things out noticed the above mentioned ratio. So I decided to put up a couple of bottles of strawberry up and would like to try blueberry. But how to cut the yeast amount, and is it necessary at all? Thanks to all for simple info, not buying a lot of equipment for this, just fruit, sugar, water, yeast (if nec.), and really pretty bottles my bartender friends save for me (Yes, I sterilize them). And balloons to keep the bugs and dirt out but allowing for the gas processing involved with the yeast. Hey, the fruit is free, will mix with grape juice if needed at the end.

it cranked slower and slower, then the other day nothing when I tried to start it. I put a new battery in, but it's cranking slower and slower again. Will take it to the shop tomorrow (monday), but should I disconnect the battery to keep it safe in the meantime? And if the starter is bad, can it still be jump-started? Thanks, gang!

Heard about it from some friends it worked for. Heard it had some potentially scary side effects (graphic nightmares, severe nausea). Also heard it had been taken off the market due to increased suicides. Ordered it anyway. Any input greatly appreciated.

Blind faith. What is blind faith?

I'm in charge of party favors for a friend's bachelorette party. We're going out to dinner then to two bars. Have dicky rings and straws, bachelorette challenge coupons, bachelorette trivia cards we can make our own penalties for, party buttons that say "single", "B****", "Sl**", "tease", etc, bugs for gently letting people know when they need to cool it a little (we're nurses and people talk, not always nicely), wood puzzles I will have everybody try before they drink and then again before they go home so we can tell who needs a ride-- designated drivers already in place). but this seems so mundane. What would you do?

I've just about boycotted them. Not that I go very often, but when in a hurry (and I do love the double cheeseburgers), I stop in maybe once a month. The last 7 or 8 times I have gone I have waited what seems like FOREVER. I'm not talking about 5 or 10 minutes that seem longer because I am in a hurry, I timed them the last two times, 22 minutes once and 30 minutes the next time (5 different McDonald's). I get waited on faster at Outback!

Found out 2 days ago someone connected to my local hang-out group has cancer, so a bunch of us got together and decided to have a charity function (poker run for you motorcycle fans) to raise money he needs for treatment. During the conversation, the need for flyers came up, and I volunteered to produce them. I got a couple of "which-one-do-you-like" examples together, and brought them to the area we meet. Via phone, one of the gals said "We've already got what we need." This really hurt my feelings. Though I have already donated food for this event (and I'm not rich-just happened to have stopped by on the way home from the grocery store and had a ham and large turkey breast in the car), I was looking forward to putting in my time and effort to help this guy and his family. And they said "yes, you can take care of that", then side-swiped me off to the side of the road. Could it be that my feelings aren't as important to them as theirs are to me?
