Country Girl for Life

I stopped taking my contraceptive about 3 weeks ago and have been spotting at least every other day since then. I was on different types of contraceptives for a total of ten years. I am unable to get an apt to meet with my OBGYN for two months! The nurse told me on the phone this bleeding could continue for 6 months or more. My question is: how do I know if I AM pregnant if I am not having normal periods? and has anyone else had this type of bleeding problem when going off of contraceptives?... if so, have you gotten pregnant? I am unable to find any reliable resources on line that discuss the body's reaction to being taken off of contraceptives.

I just got an Imac and love it...but...am having a problem uploading photos to myspace. Myspace keeps giving me a message that says photos are in the wrong format....they are .jpeg files? Anyone with experience in this? I can't figure out how to change the format on Iphoto....help.

I am getting married and considering having Zoom tooth whitening. While over the counter bleaching strips whiten about 4 shades, Zoom is supposed to make them 8 shades lighter. Has anyone had it and had success? or been disappointed? Is it worth the money? Any insight would be great! Thanks.

I planted 2 climbing rose bushes on a trellis in my yard last May...they were well established and full in the fall and should flower this year. The vines began to bud leaves and then we got a cold spell (central IL). The leaves all died and now we have had about 2 consecutive warm weeks and there are no new buds of foliage. Any experience with this? Is the plant dormant or dead? How to tell? Thanks.

Was just wondering if some of you could share your honeymoon experiences with me. We are planning a honeymoon for the end of May 2008 and were wondering where the best/worst destinations were. We were thinking of a Sandals but have had some horror stories and reviews online about many of the sandal's resorts. We do want something all inclusive and most of all relaxing, not a big party. Your great experiences and horror stories may help. Thanks in advance.

Anyone know a good site to download ringtones without having to get into a monthly service plan of $9.99 or more, other than the phone carrier? Everything I come across requires you to subscribe to a monthly service and I only want a few. Thanks.

This is going to make you so MAD! There are three words in the English language that end in "gry". ONE is angry and the other is hungry. EveryONE knows what the third ONE means and what it stands for. EveryONE uses them everyday, and if you listened very carefully, I've given you the third word. What is it? _______gry?

Does anyone know if they still do the Hades Haunted House up by Chicago? Can't find anything online about times, price, location, etc. If you could find something or give me a schedule that would be great, thanks!

I want to write my grandfather's life story before it is too late. He is 92 and served in WWII and grew up in the Illinois Valley in the time when Al Capone and the mob's presence was widespread across the midwest. He also worked in local coal mines and was around for the presentation of the Model T to the world.

Are there any websites or resources for people wanting to write this type of story? Like where and how to start. I would like a list of questions to start with and will work off of that.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Just bought a queen size Tempurpedic Celebrity Bed and Love it except that the mattress is so thick no sheets seem to fit it. The fitted sheets do not cover the entire mattress and get pulled up after a night of sleeping. Does anyone else have this mattress and this problem? Has anyone found a brand of sheets that actually fit the mattress?
