Saturday Morning. I am thinking an updo, or a half updo. It's for a wedding. I will be at the palms. Do you know how much your daughter charges and if she has her own makeup supplies?

Thanks everyone. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't just me. I really hate it during SYTYCD, but I guess I'll just deal with it.

They've always introduced themselves as "Dr. so and so" to me.

Thanks Scooter! The kids drs office has two physicians and the one PA and they all go by first name. The two physicians are sometimes addressed as Dr first name, but the PA is relatively new and I wasn't quite sure with her. And wouldn't ya know I have to call the office with a question specifically for her and that seems kinda unprofessional to call over the phone and say Jane did this and I need to ask about it instead of (Title) Jane did this....

Professional codes of ethic are very specific, and a physician's assistant is NOT allowed to introduce themselves or represent themselves in any way, shape, or form, as a doctor. They can be brought up on charges with your state's office of professional discipline.

I would simply ask the PA, War.

I've always called my PAs by their first name. That's how they introduced themselves to me. And Huk is right they definitely are NOT allowed to call themselves doctor.

LOL, well lets through confusion into the mix, I called the office and got the answering machine and a message that referred to one of the physicians and the PA by name only (Jane Smith/Joan Smith,) no titles, and the other physician as Dr John Smith!

It's funny, she's been with the practice maybe 18 months, but we see her only rarely for urgent care appts. Caleb sees the male dr, Dakota sees the female dr for most things, but see the male dr also because he's a pediatric allergy/asthma dr as well. It's never really come up how to address the PA.

I know the reason it bothers me. My mom was a nurse for many years (still is, but doesn't work as a nurse anymore) and even though we grew up in a pretty casual household where we called most adults by first name, when it came to the drs, nurses and specialist at the hospital mom was very strict about that. We might have called a few of them Dr/Nurse first name, but they always got the title! And even as an adult it just feels wrong to call and say, "Jane did this for me....!"

If you don't want to address her by her first name, why not Ms Smith? She is definitely not a doctor. How do you address the other non doctor staff members?

I believe you've got to be a doctor to be referred to in any manner as such. A number of years ago I was able to get an autograph from Debi Thomas, former figure skater, now doctor. At the time I asked her to sign it "from one M.D. to another." She was still in med school and was uncomfortable doing that. My initials are M.D.

Rest of the staff is also pretty casual, usually first name basis only or title and first name. Receptionists are Ms. or Mrs. first name, nurses are Nurse first name.

I am going to have to ask the receptionist when I call back cuz that's going to drive me batty now til I know.

I'm curious about something and can't find the answer online.

Ryan Seacrest does a radio show in the last afternoon/early evening on a local radio station, 101.3. When he does his links between songs, he mentions 101.3 in conversation, or at least it seems he does, rather than just hitting a jingle switch or something like that. I know he's on all over the country, and I'm sure not every station is on 101.3FM.

So my question is: how does he use the radio station name in the links, if he has so many radio stations to mention? Does he spend all his down time doing links for each individual station, and then plays the relevant one?

I believe so. I know a station that has famous artist say something like 93.3 plays all the best music and I am sure they sit in a studio one day and tape a bunch of messages like that and send out to various stations.

Ryan is on KIIS fm in LA, CA. Does he do Ryan's Roses where you are?

Ok, I know sewer roaches come up out of drains. My questions is....Can ants do the same thing? Just got up and my sink is filled with ants and the counters around them have a few, but I see no trail anywhere else.

Lol OG and Christy! Christy, I had tons of ants in my sink one summer. They looked like a parade, which I traced back to a seam beside our backsplash. Dawn dish detergent kept them away for a long time. Eventually, I used the ant spray, and I'm sure the fairy died along with the rest of the little critters.

Pamy I haven't heard the Ryan's Roses part, but I only listen in the car, and thankfully I'm only in the car for about 10 minutes at a time. Thanks for your answer, he fooled me, it sounded so natural with the flow of the programme!

Ants don't come through drains that are in use... there's probably just a small crack/outlet to the wall cavity somewhere near and they're following the smell/taste of some bathroom product to your sink.

Cornmeal!

We had an ant infestation here at the start of the summer. I put small amounts of cornmeal on the counter and in the cabinet where I saw some ants. (By the way for the past 5 years that we've lived here there have been ants all summer long and we typically called the ant man and he sprayed every month or so all summer.)

Well since I put the cornmeal out (well the first few hours it seemed to attract a buncha ants and I almost felt duped!!) BUT then the ants disappeared and HAVE NOT BEEN BACK ALL SUMMER!!! Truly amazing. And cheap. And safe!!!
