Heartattack19

Feeding is very important too, my wife and avoiding dairy, garlic, and onions...... We notice a difference in our baby when i make a cooking mistake ..

The wedge goes under the mattress typically. Our sons cried all the time, needed constant bouncing, and never slept......i am holding our 3 week old daughter now and she is completely different. Also, our sons would wiggle in pain so much they would almost jump out if our arms. .

So, much experience with this. Big possibility of reflux/gerd. I suggest baby sleeping with a crib wedge. If the baby sounds congested after eating, it sounds like reflux. There are all different kinds of formula to help, Alimentum helped us. We had to get imaging done to see the reflux. Also could be driven by some intolerance, our kids had milk protein issues. The treatments that work are not fda approved, but work wonders. You need a GI doc that will listen, some do not. It normally manifests between week three and 6.....

I hurt my hip flexor in a car accident. While not the same, when I tried to get out of the car I could not walk. Every step was like needles inside of my hip. I also have weird spurts where all the sudden the pain returns and I have to stand still for a few minutes before I try to walk again. I did do physical therapy, there were no MRI's or anything, but it is something that lingers at times for me. I am sure it is something that i can probably control with more exercise, weight loss, and all the normal stuff but man, when it flares up, it is paralyzing. I remember being out to eat with my wife, my hip acted up, and i had to stop every ten feet and sit down for a few minutes until she could pull the car around. Then all the sudden, it was "okay". I am hoping for the best for Robert, but it is painful.

You are probably right, I remember the Farmio going nuts over it (at least I think I do) The Sox had a ton of suspensions, even Jerry Manuel was suspended for a game. He stayed at the team hotel and dressed as a bellhop when the team either left or arrived for the game. That was a fun year!

I was at that game with my dad...great day for a baseball game! Rumor going around was that Karim Garcia sucker punched Foulke with something in his hand (brass knuckle like...). I always hated Fick after that game, he always seemed to cause trouble (2003 for the Braves running over the Cubs Pitcher (Matt Clement?) in the playoffs...) Todd Jones came running out of that dugout like crazy....soon after that day, Tanyon Sturtze was traded to the Devil Rays for either Graffanino or Herbert Perry who became needed after Greg Norton tore up his knee That was a great team so much fun to watch! I thought the trade with the Orioles for Charles Johnson where we gave up Brook Fordyce changed the dynamic of the team somehow, having a different catcher may have had some effect on the pitching staff

Oh they will never forget when I tell them how bad Bobak's sausage is and why cant we return to the good days. I will agree, the sausage did taste pretty crappy. It's just not the same.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 11:55 AM) that bit had me a tad confused for a moment. then i re-read. See, that is why I was a math major......spelling is not my strong suit! I am so smart! I am so smart! SMRT! Do'oh!

I have looked at it as well, i was a Math major at Loyola. I only started to review for the first test, the Series P Exam, which was basically a review of Pron and Stats. It seemes doable, but would require a lot more time than i had. I know that to get hired, most firms would like to see you pass at least two exams. I have friends who could pass those tests, but i figure it would have a really tough time and decided against it. Good luck! Check with the Actuarial Society in Chicago, i think you can get practice tests there!

What about melting Velveeta? Like the commercial, mix it with some Rotel and you have an instant Nacho Dip!

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Feb 1, 2010 -> 12:39 AM) That is one beautiful car JPN. Mustangs are the only Fords I really like. Anyway, "girl car" is subjective. My car (model/color in pic below) is called a girls car because of its horn and "cuteness". Well, it was my moms (she got my grandmas Lincoln, but didn't like it, and was able to sell it to mostly cover an 09 black Honda Accord), and is the newest car in the highschool in terms of years. Quite frankly, if you like you're car, you're good. Quick note: My car is also the only car that runs decently at the highschool. It just sucks in snow. Mazda 3's are really nice cars, my girlfriend has one, it has the 2.3 liter engine and has a lot of pickup. I can not say anything because i drive a 2005.5 Jetta. It is a damm nice car, but is considered a "chick" car, but man, those seat warmers in the winter kick butt. But then again, the ones who make fun of cars are the ones who drive P.O.S. cars or have no car and beg for rides!

But here is what I got, probably one of my hardest semesters but it seems to be one of the more fun semesters: Physical Chem II Adv. Organic Chem Differential Equations Research Seminar Poetry Dif EQ was one of the most fun and easiest of the Math classes i took. it is wierd, it is like applied multivariable calc! I have always heard Orgo is a tough class, it was used to weed out "those who were not worthy". Thank god i never took any chemistry...

From what little i kno about my dogs, it seems like the dog could have a bladder or a urinary tract infection. I know that it has happened to my lab a few times and she was always going to the bathroom, but just a little bit at a time. I am not sure if that is the case with yours though! The dog could also be craving attention, our dog has a tendancy to do that as well. Being a small dog also means small bladder....who knows!

I was at a game in 1998 with my drunken uncles and my best friend against the yankees in the third row, first base side. Drunken uncle # 1 was heckling Jeter all day long calling him a very bad three letter word. I tried to explain he was dating Mariah Carey, which would make that term useless. Jeter gets to first base, Uncle keeps yelling, and Jeter and Frank Thomas are just shaking there heads. Same game, hot girl on the kiss cam or something who was just a section over. Drunk uncle yells "show me your tits", the section was cheering, she was embarrased. Camera then moves to a big fat hairy guy who lifts his shirt, licks his fingers, and rubs his nipples! Another game, same seats, jose Cruz Jr. Drops three fly balls. He catches one to end an inning comes running into the dugout, we gave him a standing ovation and he tipped his cap to us. Pretty cool gesture!

I played the trumpet from fourth grade through 5th year senior year in college. I pick it up once a year for a band reunion at a Loyola Basketball game. It is amazing how it comes back to you, but why are the notes written so small! The chops wear out about halftime, then i just try to not sound like a 4th grader. It is amazing, I played almost every day of my life for 14 years and then nothing.....but man, i do miss playing!

I would recoomend Tehas de Brazil in Woodfield. I think it was reasonably priced for a place that is like Fogo de Chao....but then again, i drank a little too much wine that may have clouded my judgement!

Jenks Heat, what do you do now if i may ask. I too have a math degree (from Loyola) and trying to figure out what to do as the company i am with now is rapidly going down the tubes......Thanks for your help!

well, Teach for America did not accept me....I liked thier mission, felt i was a good fit, and with the need for Math and Science teachers, i thought i would at least get a chance. While i am disappointed, on to the next challenge. Tex, congrats on the History teacher job! I am going to try the Chicago teaching fellows next...lts see if something hits!

I always wanted to be a train engineer......then discovered the long hours, always being on call, having no family time....decided to be a baseball player, never made it to college baseball other than the club team. Than i wanted to be an actuary...but the otehr kids in the upper level math classes blew me away, too hell with those nerds!

Nice Story Mr. Pratt.....two of my three minors were covered here, Phusic and Classical Studies. I went to Loyola and while i wast here, there was some shakeup with teh Classical Studies Department, i can not remember what it was, but it did survive. It is tough to keep classes scheduled when there is only a small number of students taking taht class. I remember my Math class, Real Analysis, that only hadmyself and one other student in it, and she liked to cut class! Lots of days with just the professor and myself! Of course, me being a Rambler makes me dislike UIC with a passion!

I would start with a good primer to give the paint something to stick to......probably the gray primer. I would assume model enamel paints would work, i do not know about the acrylic paints, i always have trouble with those. Good luck! not sure if this helped at all....

Guys, thanks for your help! Tex, what is ELA? I should hear next week, pretty excited about a new beginning! I am sorry you were turned down for the program.... I am a little nervous about teaching, but think it will be a good fit!

Thanks Tex! I have the same concern, i have to stay in Chicago (mortgage.....etc...). There is a need for Math and Science teachers, which is encouraging for me. I am looking for the program that gives the best support system, whether it be teach for america or chicago teaching fellows. It is a very tough job, and a competative program, but i feel i have a step up with my background and the fact i have been in the "real world" for a while.(whatever that means!) If anyone else has experience or opinions, i would love to hear them!

Long time lurker needing some expert soxtalk opinions! I have been out out college since 2003 with a degree in Mathematics and have been looking for a career change. I recently had my final interview with Teach for America, i am attempting to be a Chicago Public High School teacher. I wanted to know what opinions or advice anyone on the board has had. It seems like a great program, especially for someone like myself who wants to do something "more" with my life. just wondering, any advice or experiences would be great and most appreciated!
