I think also, it kind of depends on how long you've been seeing the doctor & how comfortable you feel about him/her. (We've had some horrendous cases of abuse here in my state the past few years.) With my GYN that I had over 25yrs, the nurse would ask the questions and get situated, but then it was just him & me for the exam. Maybe they asked before if I wanted a nurse present, maybe marked in the chart it wasn't needed. Gosh, I miss that Doc since he retired. He was funny & really cut out the nervousness.

NEW QUESTION: I think I have green chile pepper oil/residue on my hands, I thought I had washed them really well, but just touched around my eyes and they started burning. I washed my hands again and I rinsed around my eyes and that is fine. But my hands are now sort of burning, is there something special I should use to wash my hands?

Maybe rinse your hands good with rubbing alcohol?

I will try that, thanks. I wonder if vinegar would also work.

This says to rub oil all over your hands, then wash off with soapy water. http://myrakornfeld.com/blog/2007/10/28/tip-removing-chile-oils-from-your-hands/

Yup, oil will do wonders to pull the pepper juices out of the skin. Bonus - use olive oil and you get some moisturization going on, too. I cook with hot peppers often so I bought a box of latex gloves for super cheap at the drug store. No more worries for this contact-lens wearer! LOL (trust me, that sucks!)

Milk neutralizes the pepper juice in your mouth, I would suspect it would do the same on your hands.

Our bank, Washington Mutual recently (last month?) became Chase. Other than my bank statement the other day, we've recieved nothing at all from them (nothing about service changes or anything like that.) I'm kinda curious if anyone knows if we'll eventually get new Chase ATM cards and checks (instead of Wamu?) Also really curious about how the heck I'm supposed to pay bills! I pay some online and some over the phone and have to enter the bank name and check or atm card number. I have to pay a couple in the next few days and I'm wondering if I need to enter Wamu (which is still on my checks and atm cards) or Chase (which the bank now is.)

WG we are with Wamu too. I recently ordered checks and automatically got checks with Chase on them. As for paying bills...it should just be based on the tracking number.

Ok, thanks Scoots! I don't need checks anytime soon and know the Wamu cards still work fine but wasn't sure if they were going to replace them. What about the ones that ask for the bank name first, then checking and routing numbers? My mortgage co is one that does, even though I have a few weeks til I have to pay that it kinda freaks me out there could be a conflict, though come to think of it there wasn't last month or I'd have heard about it by now, lol!

Oh wow, we haven't had nothing like that. I did know that they were changing over, but wasn't sure when until the day I pulled out of my aunts bank (across from our Wamu) and saw the new signs on the buildings! If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have known the change over occured til I recieved my bank statement. LOL, and I almost threw that in the shred pile without opening because I thought it was junk mail.

I'm with WAMU also and have gotten loads of info over the past couple of months. Perhaps you just thought it was junk mail and tossed it, War.

Nope, I always open Wamu. I have four accounts with them (our checking, our savings, and both kids savings) plus a safety deposit box and never know what they might be sending.

Why not just go to the bank and ask? That's what I did last year when my bank changed hands.

LOL, cuz it would have required changing out of my pj's! I'll have to go in the next few days so I can ask about it then.

Congrats Wargod, you are among those of us who know that jammies are not appropriate for the bank. I am amazed at the # of people I see in retail stores, the bank, grocery store, meetings etc wearing their jammies. Personally, I think they should be turned away at the door and told they are welcome to come back once they are dressed. Years ago when I was a waitress, I was always perplexed at the number of women, (generally those from the small towns in the city to do the Saturday shopping) would go out for breakfast or lunch in curlers usually "covered" in a scarf. Where are they going later? And isn't being out here already being out? Was it for church the next day? As a rule the hair was pretty short so probably didn't need to set for that many hours. Besides, they probably still had a jar of Dippity Do. I also saw this a lot in the mall in New Orleans. Women would go home, set there hair for the morning and then come shop for clothes before the mall closed. Weird.

Looking for some quick ideas/help. My 9 yr. old son is making a top ten list in lieu of a thank you note for his teacher (it's teacher appreciation week.) Any ideas of what he could do this on, other than a typical piece of paper? I was thinking maybe a bookmark. ANy other ideas? TIA as usual!!

I just picked up pizza in my jammie pants and a t. It wasn't a restaurant though, just a pick up window. I did have to get out of the car. First time ever out in public in my pj pants. Julie, I think a book mark is a really great idea. He could also put it on a card on card stock paper. From what I hear, teachers really love that type of stuff. He could also trace his hands on paper and put 5 on each hand. I'm not a creative person at all, I wasn't planning on giving you ideas actually. I just wanted to say how great the bookmark idea is!

A bookmark sounds perfect.. you could get it laminated and it would last.. he could have his top 10 and some image, perhaps.

A bookmark would be awesome, Julie! Something she'd see everytime she read. LOL, Sugar, until this morning I would have proudly taken than congrats! And then... If I don't have anywhere to go after dropping the kids off at school, I'll wear my jammie bottoms and a tshirt (and bra.) I'm just going from house to car and back, no getting out at school or anything. If I have to go somewhere, I get dressed for the day. This morning I had no plans to go anywhere, so just ran out in my jammies. Dropped Caleb off at school and looked over and my gas light was on. ACK! I had no bars left on the fuel gauge and I don't really take chances in the minivan, cuz the display will tell me I have 30 some odd miles til empty while the gas light is blinking more and more frantically. Crap. I had to stop and get gas, used my atm card at the pump and only put $3 in cuz I wasn't standing there in my jammies any longer than I had to, lol. Of course that meant I had to go get more gas before I picked the kids up from school, but that was much better than standing out there in my jammies any longer than I had to.

Thanks all!!! I think all these ideas are great!! Since he has several teachers (and speech therapist) I can do several and i think I will do a bookmark as an extra for them all! Can you laminate at Kinko's or Office MAx??
