Hello. My name is Clarence. I see you have sweet looking litte dog!!! I have a 2 year old Chihuahua. Her name is Snowball. She is my sweet little doggie! She is a therapy dog. My landlord didn't want me to have a dog but, my doctor wrote my landlord and my landlord agreed! This made me so very happy. She is a wonderful companion, especially since my mom passed away almost 9 months ago. My dog has helped me so much fighting lonliness. A little story here...The last dog that I had was named Buckwheat. He was a wonderful dog. I had him for 14 years. Then on May 23rd, 1985 I took him to the vet doctor asking the doctor for more digoxin to help keeping him alive. The vet doctor told me that your dog has lived a long time and it's time to say goodbye to him. I took Buckwheat for one last drive. When I arrived back at the vet's office my sweet dog died in my arms. He looked at me one last time and that was it. I cried so much. I was in a daze and shock. I took off work for 2 weeks because I felt so terrible. That is my story. I would like to be your friend. Take care and God bless you. Clarence

I have had a small amount of food allergies most of my life. My son developed them before age 1. He couldn't eat anything but fresh meat, fresh veggies and a few fruits. He outgrew most of his and now I have them. A few weeks ago, the Dr. diagnoised allergies to wheat, gluten, soy, milk, yeast, garlic, barley, blueberries, eggs, ginger, malt, ALL DARIRY, mushrooms, pepper, rye, safflower and yogart. Finding what I can eat is pretty hard. I am also diabetic but feeling much better.

Open Alzheimer's Disease
Stage: AdvancedMom began 15y ago with forgetting how to balance her checkbook. She asked me to help by taking that chore. Gradually the yrs have brought decline downhill. She is very much a spoiled brat 2yr old. We thought we were helping by keeping her apt or at our homes. Finally had to put her in a nursing home. She is more content there because her world of 1/2 a room is all she can comfortably handle. I can call and talk and within 10 minutes she is asking my sister when will I call. Know me, not always.

I'm scared. I have had a cyst for 5 years. Now I have a lump the size of a ping pong ball but shaped more like a yam in the back of my arm, almost under the arm pit. I have not gone to the Dr. because I currently have no insurance with the loss of a job. What do I do next?
