My migraines are triggered by hormonal shifts. I get two of them per month like clockwork, one right after ovulation and one right before my period starts. I take Advil, drink lots of coffee and Diet Dr. Pepper, and use one of those heating pads that you put in the microwave. Also, eating salty foods seems to help (I get major salt cravings during headaches and have heard other migraine sufferers say that they experience the same thing.) Eight months ago, I eliminated grains and (most) sugar from my diet, and that seems to have helped a lot in reducing the severity of my migraines.

I saved $25 and got free shipping on three bags of dog food by using Ebates and a coupon code. We have several large dogs and go through lots of dog food, so I'm always on the lookout for deals.

As painful as it would be, I would definitely want to know. Anyone who is dishonest about fidelity is likely to be dishonest about other important things as well, so I wouldn't want to be kept in the dark.

My friend manages an animal shelter and is exposed to ringworm frequently, and she swears that the best treatment is clear nail polish. Just dab on enough to cover the affected areas of skin and let dry. It suffocates the fungi and keeps it from spreading. I wish I would have known to do this when we had a ringworm epidemic in our house a few years back (thanks to a new kitten). We used anti-fungal cream and were very fastidious about washing bedding, towels, and clothing, and it did clear up within a week or so. Good luck!
