I am too (not when I was 8 tho ) I am guessing that is why I married a Marine and a Soldier (Same guy he is a former Marine now AD Army)

That was sarcasm.

To any of the men on here or anywhere around. Do you miss your foreskin??

Mutilate mu·ti·late Audio Help /ˈmyutlˌeɪt/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[myoot-l-eyt] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation –verb (used with object), -lat·ed, -lat·ing. 1. to injure, disfigure, or make imperfect by removing or irreparably damaging parts: Vandals mutilated the painting. 2. to deprive (a person or animal) of a limb or other essential part. My son(s) were not DEPRIVED of a limb or essential part. He was not disfigured either. You can make sure that he is clean of course. For me it is a personal preference. Plus dad wanted them to look like him I am/was not going to take that away from the father. (Even tho I hate him now) I do not regret my decision. I do not know about how other mothers feel. I just know how I am feeling.

Good to hear. Please keep us updated.

I believe he is talking about the little "bell" it is a piece of plastic that is tied around the head of the penis that aids in making the "ring" of skin between the head and shaft. I may be wrong about what he is talking about as my boys are 10 and 7 and both circumcised Personally as a mother I prefer my boys to be circumcised. Not because of any religious beliefs. I think my decision was about cleanliness. Yes I could have taught them to wash it and how to clean it. However I know that the hospital told us NOT to pull the foreskin back until a certain age. (I do not remember the age) I googled age + foreskin came up with a bunch of sites I do not care to see lol. My decision also included cosmetic looks. Yea I may be flamed for my decision but I do not care. It was a choice I made and would do it again in a heartbeat. As far as being a woman and sexually intimate with someone who is circumcised I love it. I do not have to worry about if he cleaned under it and if it is clean enough NOT to harbor bacteria that can give me a uti or another infection "shudders". I know my husband is clean and I take refuge in that. I may be shallow I may be over cautious well that is OK with me.

Why may I ask? I am in Tac and just wondering.

The above was hard to see. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtR2E_NQ2ww.

Well yes and no. I look at myself and I feel soooo much better. Then again I have plenty of left over skin in places. I also have head hunger like you would not believe. I am actually starting to realize how much weight I have lost. For example I spent a lil bit today making a video of my journey. It is on you tube for those who care to see it. I hope this works http://www.onetruemedia.com/shared?p=6d82b...medium=text_url If this link dosent work go to you tube and type in " Nichole weight loss"

First off PRAY. I do not know if you are religious, I am and I find prayer works for me and for the person(s) I am praying for. It helps me with strength I need to get the task done. If you are a praying gal take a deep breath and ask for your higher power to help guide you. (My choice is god.) You have to focus on what you CAN do. You CAN help the victim, give them resources people who help people in that situation. I sent you a PM. I wanted to post this in case it might give someone else an idea. One thing I can recommend is going to a local DV shelter. Get some pamphlets and ask the staff questions. Ask them what they do how they help, and you as a provider can help them TO places like Free or reduced attys, child support places, medical ins, food stamps and financial aid, shelters and victims advocates and more. Get some pamphlets and business cards and keep them with you to pass out. Sometimes they just need someone to listen. Let you know them that you care. Let them know you are concerned. It is a pretty low point when something bad happens to them. Use your best judgment when you are talking to a vic. Then use the appropriate card to pamphlet to hand them. Also maybe recommend to the hospital that a social worker sees them if it is not standard with the recieving hospital. I hope this helped. Good Luck.

I recently Volunteered for the Red Cross I actually filled out my ppr wk a few days ago and I was going to talk to them about the Disaster Relief Team. I would be there in a heartbeat if I was not in school. This is what I got in an e mail today if anyone wants it. Call your local Red Cross for their info, this is for Tacoma Washington. As Tropical Storm Gustav stands poised to enter the Gulf of Mexico as a hurricane this weekend, the American Red Cross is preparing to assist residents in the storm’s path with evacuation shelters, feeding, and other needed services. The Red Cross is mobilizing both material and human resources in preparation. Red Cross workers from across the country are traveling into the area. Hundreds of Red Cross mobile feeding trucks are being moved into Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama in addition to thousands of cots and blankets, tens of thousands of comfort kits and ready to eat meals. Our first priorities before and after landfall will be to ensure people have safe shelter, food, comfort items and emotional support. In support of Red Cross disaster relief efforts, the American Red Cross Mount Rainier Chapter is reaching out to our community partners. Please ask your members if they would like become trained Red Cross disaster volunteers. All volunteers must fill out an application, pass a background check, receive an orientation, and be trained. They can start the application and training process now and take the necessary steps to volunteer locally or begin the training needed to go out on a national assignment. Potential volunteers need to receive all the disaster training before any possibility of being sent out on a national Red Cross disaster relief assignment involving Tropical Storms Gustav, Hannah, or any other disaster. This does not guarantee that the volunteer will be deployed. As the need for additional volunteers increase for this and other disasters, those who are already have their paperwork processed and trained will be offered the opportunity to serve. Red Cross national disaster relief assignments are for three-week durations. Monday, September 8, 2008 @ 8 AM to 6 PM Red Cross Disaster Volunteer Orientation & Training 1235 South Tacoma Way, Tacoma, WA 98409 Additional training to be scheduled – please leave information regarding times available for training.

Awesome Az. I was not able to have that option when I had it done (RNY). #1 Tricare did not cover it at the time. (I do not know if it does now). It is still a new enough procedure that the Army is not trained in (at least here at the MTF I went to.) As a matter of fact only 1 of the surgeons is even trained in the Lap Band procedure. He at the time I had mine done had only done 10 or so bands. This is the EXACT reason that I did not choose the band. I had looked into the band however I needed that fear of the "dumping syndrome" to assist in my weight loss. I am at 90 lbs and still falling slowly. I think that it IS possible to work in EMS and have the surgery. Provided you make the choices that are good for you and assist in your new lifestyle.

I agree it looks like hipaa. The fact that he did not use the gals name and used the area surrounding the incident. The medic in question not use any pertinent pt info on his page, thus it leads me to believer that this is mostly an idiot not thinking about this actions. It looks to me that he just did not use his head. However I am wondering what hipaa rules were broken here. This is just a question. I am not starting any trouble on here I am simply trying to clarify the actual violations. I honestly am minimally familiar with the regs. (What is taught in Basic school)

Thanks Typo

I was looking for some things online today and I came upon this. I am not too thrilled about what this guy did. I however can see where he was coming from in trying to prevent this from happening to other women and what to do IF god forbid it happens . I realize it is a bit older but there is a post on here recently about a myspace for emts. What do ya all think? http://www.komonews.com/news/local/7238106.html PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - A Portland rape victim is suing a local ambulance paramedic who posted details about the attack on his MySpace Internet page. She contends the paramedic invaded her privacy by posting the approximate location, what she said about her knife-wielding assailant and his description. The lawsuit in Multnomah County Circuit Court contends the posting led TV reporters to her door, prompted neighborhood reconnaissance and may have impeded the police investigation. The suit, filed on behalf of "Jane Doe," names both the paramedic's ambulance company, American Medical Response, and the paramedic, Simon P. Green. She was raped and beaten at her Southeast Portland apartment Feb. 15. Green was dispatched to provide emergency medical care and take her to a hospital. On March 4, according to the suit, Green wrote on his MySpace site how the stranger followed the woman into her apartment and sexually assaulted her. On his MySpace site he suggested victims should fight off attackers if confronted by a knife or carry a gun. "My advice: fight. It's only a knife, and any rapist is a coward who will probably turn tail at any resistance," his posting read. Portland police have released no details of the assault, which remains under investigation. No arrest has been made. Portland Detective Sue Fachini interviewed the paramedic. According to the lawsuit, Green told police he didn't think what he posted violated confidentiality laws because he didn't name the victim. The detective told Green that the information on his posting could compromise the investigation, especially if the suspect saw the posting and tried to destroy evidence. She told Green the victim had an expectation of privacy while she was riding in the ambulance. The paramedic apologized to the detective, saying he was only trying to "get the word out" so other women would have an opportunity to protect themselves. The victim is seeking economic damages for missing work, obtaining counseling and having to move, as well as non-economic damages for emotional distress, physical illness and loss of sleep. She accuses Green and the ambulance company of violating her protected information, citing federal privacy rules. Police determined Green did not break a law. "There's no crime in what this guy did," spokesman Sgt. Brian Schmautz said, "it's just morally reprehensible." (Copyright 2007 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)

I was told to provide proof before I even could enroll in school. I like it better that way. I prefer to be immunized against hep b BEFORE I even come in contact with it or any other communicable diseases. Immunizations are just that, preventative and if you happen to come into contact with something then you are safe. I would not wait on NO ONE to "issue" these to me. Personally it is YOUR career field YOU chose to enter and YOU should be liable to protect yourself. That is the #1 thing I learned in school personal safety. (and bsi ect) JMHO.

I am hoping that he meant senseless. Because as an Army wife I take offense to that too.

You have an e mail.. Yes that is me on both pics one is 2 yrs old (first one) second is most recent my anniv pic.

Something in red Lorrie Morgan.

She is a spaniel,lab X. We are popping her on her nose however she does not seem to be bothered with it. Trial and error I guess.

The puppy trainers will not let us enroll her until she is 10 weeks old. We are already registered for that class. I like the penny idea. Thanks !! Will try that as soon as we get a can available.

As far as putting her down I DO AGREE it is a drastic thing to do. I will avoid that at all costs. However I am trying to be a responsible pet owner here. I want it to be the discipline that works. I am honestly feeling like this is asking for a lawsuit. If it happens again I'm phuked. We live on a military base and it is not like the "outside world" rules are strict in here. Not only can my husband get into trouble he can loose his rank or worse. I do not want it to happen again. It is hard to not be upset here. This is my puppy and she hurt my little girl. I do not know if it was on purpose or not. On a side note just to clarify. I stated in my previous post that my daughter was NOT unattended, there was an adult outside with her. My DD was behind a tree and my friend did not see what happened. I do not expect a baby to learn immediately what is ok to do and not ok. I understand that kids and puppies need to be taught on acceptable and unacceptable behavior. It is a learning process for her and I, we are still learning each other. She is still trying to learn what she can and cannot get away with. I have tried the water spray bottle thing she likes it. She will lick it off of her face and it does not stop the behavior. She will go right back to doing it, even after a firm NO when I sprayed her. I will try the newspaper thing and hopefully this crap stops. I am not in the mood for a lawsuit. :?

I was thinking that. However I am not sure it will teach her NOT to bite just prevent it. I mean she is still a puppy 7 weeks. She has to be taught NOT to bite. She is still little enough to train her not to bite/nip. I hope that makes sense. We DO tell her in a loud/ stern voice NO and DO NOT BITE OUCH that hurts, and BE NICE. We kennel her when she is mis behaving ect...

I came in here because my little girl was bitten by our puppy today. I am at a loss as to what to do. First a lil hx. We got out puppy about a week and a half ago. She is now 7 weeks old. The ppl we got her from used to let her play by growling/nibbling. We have been trying to break her of that. So far she is learning,she has yet to master the no biting/puppy bites. She listens ok otherwise. She had not broken skin before today. She loves to play. Yesterday she was playing with a lil boy and nipping at him (he is 2) and the lil boy was crying I went over to him and swatted my puppy on her ass, yelled and told her no. The lil boy was ok, however when she started nipping at him he was running and laughing hence the puppy thought he was trying to play. She did stop after I swatted her. I put her in her kennel for her behavior. She has nipped at this lil boy before and was told not to bite him. It has been twice now that she got this one kid. He was not injured AT ALL just a lil scared because when he was trying to get away she was jumping up on him. Today I was making my DD lunch and my friend was outside watching the kids. The puppy was outside with the kids. My DD was sitting behind a tree so it was hard to witness the event. I guess she was sitting by the tree and holding her puppy and playing (DD is 4 btw). I do not know for sure if the puppy bit her. She said she did bite her but after she said the puppys head hit her. DD now has a small lac on her upper lip. We took her to the ER and they put a stitch in it. Mainly I took her cause the puppy has not had shots. We have to wait til she is 8 weeks old. Plus DD said she had lost feeling in the lip. It was pretty deep before it clotted up. Like I said it is not really bad. Pretty minor. My concern is this puppy has gotten kids before. Granted she is just a baby, we are doing our best to make sure this NEVER happens again. I have half a mind to put her down. But she is only a puppy and I do not believe that she intentionally hurt my dd or that other kid. I want to be a good and responsible pet owner and I am at a loss. Just constructive advice please.

My lil girl Erica.
