    A bat got into the house

    The animal should be tested for rabies. Even though an animal may not have been exhibiting signs of rabies prior to death, absence of signs of disease does not necessarily rule out shedding rabies virus in the saliva. You need to discuss this matter with either your physician or local health...

    What's Raleigh like?

    If she wants to work critical care, don't forget that there is another tertiary care hospital system (UNC Hospitals) just down the road. The hospitals in the area (both those at the medical schools and those affiliated with them) are desperate for nurses. Many of the tech companies have...

    Google search and the US gov't

    Right up front, I am not searching for kiddie porn or directions on how to build a bomb, I just have fundamental concerns about privacy. Since the US government has decided to try to obtain information about searchs from Google, it makes me think about using searches outside of the US. If I...

    Is your salary outpacing inflation?

    It is not even close. Even when you disregard the increases in deductibles and copays in our "health insurance", raises are still not keeping up with inflation. My boss said to look on the bright side, he threw caution to the wind and decided to double our Christmas bonus this year since...

    Anyone know anything about birds and illness?

    Encryptic has it right, check with your DVM and see if he/she does bird work. If they don't, they can either refer you to someone that does or they can consult with a bird expert for assistance. In fact, some of the nations's bird experts are in FL. One thing to remember is that once a bird...

    How to print using BLACK INK?

    Maybe this will help. I have a couple of different HP printers and on both I can go into the print setup, select the color tab, check print greyscale & then check the box "use black cartridge only" Heck, I just downloaded the user manual for your printer and it doesn't appear that someone...

    Is this dog flu something to be worried about?

    It may well be a problem for dogs & their owners because it is a novel disease in dogs and therefore dogs currently don't have immunity to it. It is thought to be transmitted like the flu in people, by cough and sneeze. Unfortunately it also seems that people can inadvertently carry it on...

    Jenny McCarthy's New Boyfriend

    Maybe it's not the size of his wang, it could be the size of his wallet. Nah, if he's dressed like that it is probably not his wallet.

    rice cooker pan

    No, you probably won't have to purchase a new rice cooker just because the pan is not good any longer. I have a Panasonic that we have used for a decade and just purchased a new pot. Search Google using "rice cooker parts". You should be able to narrow it down using the brand and the model...

    Rosemary & Olive Oil Triscuits > ALL

    The garlic ones are good but not as good as the olive oil and rosemary. The oo/rosemary ones are like crack, one try and you're hooked.

    *CONFIRMED* gas shortages in NC, SC, FL, elsewhere in southeast

    Most of the gasoline used in NC and SC comes through a minimal number of pipelines that originate in the Gulf. Because the electricity is down for some of the pipeline and because the refineries are down because of damage/water, the flow of gas is interrupted. Reportedly one of the...

    What is the dumbest manuever you've ever seen executed on the road?

    Person evidently took the wrong exit so she proceeded to back down the exit ramp and onto the interstate. Just the other day I saw someone driving the wrong way down the same interstate.

    Wrongfully convicted man denied pardon

    The News & Observer article about this went a little further than CNN's. N&O link In the N&O article it said: I bet that Easley thought that there was some doubt about things so he did not give the pardon. At the time this was going on he did give a pardon to a man whose conviction for...

    North Carolina people..

    Pedestrian friendly? Not Durham or Raleigh, not at all. Most of Durham is a pit, an absolute pit. Rarely does a week go by without some scandal coming out about Durham government &/or 17 year old kids being arrested for murder. If you REALLY want a laugh google Jackie Wagstaff. She...

    I saw that today. After the long heat wave finally broke, it was just time until we were hit by a hurricane. Freek, I hate living where there are hurricanes and pine trees.

    Mentally scarred for life

    No, you had direct contact with a bat which means that it needs to be tested for rabies. Seriously, if it is gone you need to talk to your health dept or physician.

    For those who've had kidney stones....

    Yeah, you feel them about midway up your back. It is like someone hit you there with a baseball bat, you can't catch your breath & you pray to die. But when you get to the ER you get some great meds for pain, first class all the way. The physician was talking to me when they pushed them...

    Is Vonage as bad as everyone says?

    I have seen the ads for $25 per month but have heard that Vonage tacks on a bunch of extra charges. How much more is added to your total bill each month?

    That is why you never ever buy a car from a friend/relative/etc. You may have learned an expensive lession. Sorry, we all have to learn it at some time in our lives.

    Should I try to get my girlfriend-ish to stop smoking...

    Quitting has to be their decision if it is going to stick. She will have to make up her mind which is more important. Remember, her habit affects your health too.

    anyone here roast their own coffee?

    I have done it for a while. It will take you a couple of attempts (or more) to start to get the feel for what you are doing but it is worth it. The best part is that you can drink some real coffee, coffee that has not been burnt to a cinder (Charbucks) or blended into some thing that only...

    Why do I get better cellphone reception in Morocco then I do here in the states?

    Do you use Verizon in the US? If so, the answer is obvious. I live 1/2 mile from a major Verizon store and have to step outside to get any reception at all.
