RN a couple of my neighbors were running around the neighborhood making sure there were no houses on fire that no one knew of. then one of them called the police station and they told him it was coming down from Canada. Another neighbor was up in Maine last week and they came home yesterday and were saying they started to smell it in Portland

RN I wondered if the haze this morning was due to the fire. We had rain on the way, so probably not. We didn't pick up the same airstream as Portland. I guess the smell was quite strong.

RN it's amazing how far the smell and smoke from fires can travel. Also rn, our lab (where Dakota is currently going once a month for cholesterol/trigliciride/pregnancy test) still has Kota listed as a boy. The one place I thought I wouldn't have to worry about that problem since she's getting pregnancy test. Thought we had it sorted out last month, but nope, soon as the phlebotomist entered her name in the computer, it popped up with her sex listed as male.

RN: Kota gets tested for pregnancy? Is she old enough for that to be a worry?!?!

RN Escapee, no. But, it's part of taking accutane. It causes such horrible birth defects that they won't give it without the pregnancy tests (have to have two negatives before they'll start it and then one every month before they'll write the new prescription.) If she was a little bit older, we'd also have to put her on two forms of birth control, but since she's only 11 she can get away with just the promise of abstinance. When Caleb was on accutane, he didn't have to have the pregnancy test of course, but he actually did have to initial a paper stating he wouldn't get pregnant while using accutane and that he understood the consequences if he did. We still giggle over that one.

Right now, hope everyone is okay. Right now, just an "in general" blanket statement, but I get really tired of pretentious people. Get over yourselves already! It's not an attractive quality.

Right now, not at all. It wasn't directed at anyone here. Just a thorn in my side in my RL.

RN I wish voting on the issues in CA was easier. I really wanted to have read it all and made my decisions by now because I am an absentee voter. I do not want to spend the time and money for gas to drop it off in person on Sat. or next Tues. I'm frustrated. RN I am also thinking of a friend of mine who was in a terrible horrific car accident with a deer. (re earlier RNs) She was in the hospital and surgery for awhile. She is ok now but has no memory of the deer. Car was totalled.

RN on Happymom's subject, I wish voting questions on ME ballots were worded so that everyone could understand them. It seems crazy to me that one would have to vote No to approve something, or Yes to reject it. Sometimes the question is so long and run-on that I can't remember how it began. I always study before I go vote to make sure I understand, but I pity those who don't. RN maybe that belongs in the Gripe thread. RN glad your friend is ok, Happymom. We have a lot of deer/moose/bear accidents in this area, too.

RN I think I broke my big toe this morning. It hurts like a son of a gun and it is black and blue. I found a zip lock bag in my desk drawer at work and I am going to go up to the Cafe to get some ice. Maybe that will help a little.

RN Df, hope it feels better soon. Years ago my mom broke her big toe and needed crutches. I cannot remember if she needed any med attention. She said you never realize how much you use your big toes until one is broken.

RN Df, my sis has broken every toe at least once. For the most part, there's not much the dr will do about it, except wrap up the toe and once, like Happymom's mom, she had crutches (though that may have been the time she broke 3 or 4 at the same time.) She's broken several bones, injured her back, torn ligaments, stitches...but says the broken toes are the worst.

RN Hopefully it isn't broken and heals quickly. My mom had an x-ray, I just don't remember if they did anything else to it.
