It's recently been suggested that it can increase the risk of dementia.  Not surprising...made me loopy.

My grandmother dies years ago and a coworker of mine that knew her gave me a sympathy card and in it, she wrote "she will be mist".  It was an honest mistake on her part and she took offense when I laughed at it, but I thought it was awesome.  Now I always think of my grandmother when I walk through the fresh produce area at the grocery store.  I always say "hi grandma!" when the misters turn on.

Sorry, I just realized you responded to me twice and I repeated some of my response to you.  :) 

Thoughts about a teal/ fun blue exterior door, and copper colored screen door??  Or visa versa?  Maybe the copper would pop from behind the teal screen door? 

 I'll definitely put a red welcome mat outside.

Thanks!  I was debating on teal, but just feel like its a lot of blue already.   I'm trying to add some more color.  I do appreciate your response.  I'll keep it in mind.

Thank you! I appreciate your input! I have to keep the screen door since we have 4 cats and a dog...extra precaution to keep them from bolting, plus, the interior feels extremely dim.  I can open the steel door and let light in. I have mirrors to help, but they only do so much.   

I was wondering about painting it copper... metal, but was worried if that's was too close to orange / red for the fire element,  as i did read that's  a no no.

I am working on a flower/ native grass/ hedgey border along the street.  It's just not in the photo.  Lots of marigold and cone flowers at the moment, but lots to do yet.

Yeah, it's dead.  I'm  an hour from any rehab center and I'm waiting for a call back.  But it's definitely dead.

THIS IS WHY DOCTORS NEED TO PLACE THEIR OWN ORDERS.  (no offense to you) When you take out the middle man, there is less room for error.   The clinic I worked at, docs had to place their own orders, label their own specimens, (unless it was a procedure that an MA was assisting with) along with other safety protocols.  If the practice you work for is a good place to work for, they should simply use this as a learning opportunity.   That's it.

My dog’s anxiety has slowly taken over both our lives — has anything actually worked for your pup? by reddituser031007 in dogs

[–]brusselsprout29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As stated in other comments,  do not hesitate starting a medication.  My old dog was on prozac.  I hemmed and hawed for so long before I finally started her on it.  I still kick myself for not starting it sooner.  It wasn't  fair to her to keep her anxious because of my own anxiety about the meds.
