  • does anyone know of any toddler having bad side effects from shots?

    I would like to hear from people that have a child, or know someone that has a child that suffered any kind of damage as a result of having their immunizations. i am suspecting some problems my 2 yr old grandson is having is from his 18 month shots. or maybe his 1 yr. even. he used to be able to talk like a normal child till shortly after them, and we can find no other reason for why this is happening. he went from saying many words, to just a few, then now even less, and the ones he does say, they are getting harder for him to pronounce. he is seeing specialists to try and figure this odd thing out. he is not autistic. he has learned some motor skills late, like he never use to point til lately, and he just learned to open doors that twist but he is smart and understands everything that is said to him. he has no problem in that area. if u have any other suggestions as to what may be happening to him, i am all ears. this has got me baffled, and so far nothing from doctor. but would they admit if it were cuz of the shots? i am hoping to get to the bottom of it soon so we can help him before it gets worse. i appreciate your time, and any input that u can give me. even if it is opinions and ideas. it does not have to be something u know to be fact. just trying to investigate all possibilities. thanks again!

  • What is your opinion about people who keep their dogs in crates in their house all day?

    I know some people who have two dogs that are each in their own little travel size dog crate, (it fits them, but the can't move around really.) The dog crates are inside the peoples house, and they do take them out to go potty and stretch, but other than that they are couped up everyday, all day in these things. It just seems mean to me. Is this something that is common? I don't know a whole lot about animals, so i don't know if this hurts, or bugs the dogs, but i would hate that. I am no animal activist person or anything either, i am just curious. Thanks.

  • my compurter is acting up. can any one PLEASE help me?

    i have internet through my cable company, (as i do my phone as well as my tv too.) lately whenever i am using internet explorer, it like freezes, and says internet explorer has stopped responding. and if it is responding, it is soooo s l o w that it seems like it isnt working. alot of times it will have a msg box come up saying i have to connect to the internet and it asks me if i want to connect and its like dial up. i think it says broadband. also, whenever i am checking my email, which is yahoo, it will freeze alot. sometimes control alt delete doesnt even work to get it unfroze. if i try to answer an ad like on craigslist, it says it doesnt recognize yahoo. so it wont let me respond. then also periodically while i am on computer doing different things, it will go blank and a blue screen will come up saying something about microsoft windows detected and error so shut down so as not to damage my computer. these r all very frustrating and i have no clue if they r each something different, or all related. i dont know if i have given u enough info to go on. i have a year old gateway pc with windows vista on it, which was not too long ago updated to windows vista ultima. i have an extended warranty with the geek squad on it still, but dont think its a comp fault, is it? if u could even help with an answer to part of my problems i would be so very thankful to u!!!!

  • Any one know a relief for swollen feet?

    My feet have been swollen for a few weeks now. Some days they dont bother me. But some days they hurt and the pain goes up to my knees. The pain isnt bad, its like that tingly feeling u get when u go to stand up after sitting on your feet a certain way and they go to sleep. Kindof that pins and needles feeling.

    Anyway, i prop my feet up, but this does not help. I called the doc, but it takes forever for them to get back to u. U guys on here r faster to respond. So im hoping at least one of u know something that will make my legs/feet feel better. Thanks.

    well, i too have finally joined the ranks of the yahoo q&a violators. someone asked something about limiting jb questions on here, and i couldnt answer cuz i dont know what that means. so instead of saying just that, i was a dork and worded it like a question. so alas, i had to put it in the questions section. ah, live and learn. :)

  • Windows always shuts down on me.?

    I just got a brand new gateway computer with windows vista on it. Every day, more than once, a warning flashes that windows is shutting down cuz it says it has encountered a problem. It says it will find the problem, but it never does. It happens when i am doing different things. And the warning isnt always the exact same thing, but in general. Here is an example: micromedia projector has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Can anyone tell me what it may be and how i may fix it? And if it is a computer problem, internet problem, etc.?
