Jamie

She went to the DR. Thursday and was diagnosed with an ear infection and given amoxicillin and ibuprofen. Then on Sunday at 3 am she developed a fever of 102. It only goes away with the ibuprofen, but comes back after about 4 hours. Should I be worried or let it run its course? Thanks!

I made Ina gartener's lobsterac and cheese. I followed it to the letter but it's really watery? What can I do to fix it? Thanks!!

I'm 30 years old and thought I was past the facial breakouts, however, my face has gone bonkers this week! 10 crazy cystic acnes....anyone have any recommendation as to what would work to make them go away? Thanks for any help!

If you were making a grown up version of grilled cheese...what would you put on it, what type of bread would you use, what topping(s), and cheese(s)?

how do you make coffee in a west bend 55 cup automatic percolator? I found this, it's from 1990ish and I want to make coffee in it.

My husband has grown up over the past few years and is a really great man! But I can't get him to even begin to see things my way financially. I don't like to finance things, and I'd rather take a few months and save up to buy with cash. He wants to run and buy everything. We can afford to finance, but why should we have to? Why can't we just wait and save? What if something else comes up? Why can't he even try to see it that way? I don't like to fight but this is the only thing we fight about! We have more than we could ever need. When is it enough?

I'm 5'3, chubby, blonde, big green eyes, very pretty (I've been told), huge boobs, great shape for a chubby girl. I have a really big personality and everyone thinks i'm funny. I'm not being conseded just giving background. For some reason men won't stop hitting on me and asking me out. They tell me I'm cute and funny and that they want to hang around me more. They practically confess their love. Not just one man or two like 20 it happens all the time. What is going on? I'm a happily married woman. I talk and am nice but it's getting insane, it's annoying and I don't want to be mean, they are just complimenting me but it's constantly. What should I do?

My daughter has problems going number 2. She is 6, and the Dr. said that she should try this over the counter medicine (2 different choices) which she hates and refuses to take. She sometimes goes 4 days or more without going #2. Is there anything "natural" that you think may help her. We let her have Fiber One bars, and try to get her to eat veggies, as much as a 6 year old will eat. Any advice is great. Thanks.

I've been on weight watchers for 3 months and I've lost 20 lbs. I was at 25lbs, but somehow gained back 5...how, I don't know! I've been doing everything right and sticking to my points...is it water weight? I'm getting frustrated. My husband (who I had to beg to do this with me) has lost 50lbs without lifting a finger, just doing points and I am doing all of the cooking. So why is he dropping and I'm hovering? I am almost 199 and I'm looking so forward to it. And he's closing in on me and I don't want to weight more than him! Help please! I need motivation!

My husband and I have been married almost 10 year...and this is the first time the kids will be away for a week. I was wondering if anyone had some romantic ideas (clean ideas) that maybe I wouldn't think of. Thanks!

What's the big deal about people jumping out of the pool? I mean, it's impressive, but newsworthy? I don't know about that.

I was going to junk my old car and keep the 3 month old tires that were on it. Well my friend (a police officer) said, don't junk it. I'll fix it up and sell it and give you the money you're out for the tires, or the tires back, what do you want for them. Cause I can't sell it without the tires. So I said I'd like $300 because they are really new and I paid $500 but I'll take $200 lowest. Well he just called and said he has $100 for me! My husband is going to be so mad! Should I say something or just be happy I got any money at all. And if I say something will it ruin the friendship? Should I care? I could have just kept the tires and sold them on ebay maybe, but I was trying to help both of us instead of just me.

My husband knows I'm a complete flirt and knows that I make funny and flirty comments, mostly because I either tell him or do it in front of him. He doesn't mind because he knows it is innocent and I would NEVER do anything to hurt him. But is it wrong for me to tease and flirt with men. I make it very clear that I'm just flirty and am not trying to "get with" anyone, some don't get it. And try for more but I always explain that I'm an extremely friendly and flirty person but am very happily married and I wear my rings all the time. So is it wrong for me to be flirty?

however, she won't eat kitten food (the vet thinks she's 12 weeks old and has been out on her own that long) she came out of the vet with a clean bill of health, no FIV, no Fleas, all her boosters. So I thought she just wasn't eating, however, I dropped a piece of chicken on the floor this afternoon and she attacked it and gobbled it in like two seconds. I don't feed people food to animals, and I have another cat and a dog (who are skiddish but taking to her okay.) What should I do? I don't want her to starve!! Thanks for the help!

It goes something like:

Daddy you are my shining star....something with all the words and music flowing through my heart and this is my song for you.

Every step that I take....

I can't think...It's from the 80's I think. I remember a pink cassette tape. Thanks to all!

That means eating breakfast, 2 snacks, lunch, dinner, and factoring in drinks that contain calories. I just can't seem to reach the limit on the points. I had a weight watchers breakfast 4pts, 2 100 calorie pack snacks (at different times) each worth 2 points when the formula is done to the nutrition contents. A pregresso soup for lunch (2 points per serving, a whole can is 4 points and I had a whole can) I made a weight watchers recipe for dinner (4 1/2 points for the correct amount of chicken, 3 points for the mashed potato recipe measured out, and 1 point for the peas measured out.) Each of these was done by taking the nutrition guidelines and doing the formula and measuring each out. Then I had one more 100 calorie snack for dessert. 2pts. And I overestimated my coffee with no sugar and non dairy creamer at 2 points. All for a total of 24 1/2 and I feel like I ate so much already. All I drink is water all day so that doesn't count. I know you're supposed to get to all 27 but I'm so full. Am I doing something wrong...will I still lose weight, and why is it so much food? Is it just that it's the right kind of food? Thanks for any help.

My son keeps saying that he feels fine, but he felt warm, so I just took his temp. (102.6) under the tongue and his voice is scratchy and his eyes look like he doesn't feel good. He says he feels fine, but that he's just has sore eyes. We don't have insurance and it's almost 10 at night. Should I see if the fever persists two days like some doctors say? Or should I take him somewhere in the morning if the fever is still there? He just started daycare. (He is almost 5). Thanks for any help and advice.

Oh, and I gave him some sore throat w/ fever reducer in it for the night. Thanks all.

I'm a super busy mother of two. My kids are 6 and 4 and they belong to all sorts of activities. Our day normally starts around 6:30 am getting to school, daycare, and work. When I pick them up (after I get off of work at 6pm) it's eating a quick meal of frozen pizza, or banquet meals and running to hip hop, or gymnastics, or PTA then we get home in time for baths, tooth brushing, and quality time of reading or playing a board game (this is the most important thing for us). So short of getting even less sleep please help me figure where working out should fit in to this. I used to work out on my lunch break but I couldn't get my errands done and I was always afraid I wouldn't get showered in time to be back to work. And my husband works full time and attends school 3 nights a week after work. So please someone help me figure in what would be the best work out to lose that baby weight that is still stuck to my tummy and thighs. Thanks for the help!

Does he have a crush on me? Or is it just innocent flirting?

I have worked in the same place for about 5 1/2 years. I have alway been very playful and nice to every delivery person, colluge, everyone that walks in. I always offer them a drink and if I have candy... I've always had playful banter with the delivery man (my fathers age) and we have always played around and had fun. (I do this with everyone) Lately, he's been telling me (playfully) that I look very pretty and that I have been dressing doing my makup very nice. At first I was very flattered that a friend would notice. Now he says it every day and gets a little more "playful". I thought he was just comfortable with me as a friend and it was nice of him to make me feel good. My collegues say that he has the hots for me and that he's coming on to me. I just don't see this. We are both married and I am a bit over weight. I just thought it was just two friends playing around. Am I crazy? Should I feel weird? I just don't think he would hit on me. He's married too...Thanks.

Just to be clear

I don't want to be more than friends! I'm just asking if this is innocent flirting or should I tell him to cut it out. I have NO interest in this guy. I love my husband.
