My 9 yr old Boxer Mazie was diagnosed with mammary tumors that are cancerous. She has to have a few more removed. For now the Vet removed just one to biopsy. She told me that she had to cut into muscle to get it all out. I do understand she is in pain. It has been 5 days and the panting and shivering have not stopped. Being a boxer she is already nervous. Not so much hyper, just anxious a lot.

Have you experienced any surgeries with your dog? How long did it take to recover? How long did the panting and shaking last? She was x-rayed and scanned on Friday. She was clean and clear of any other infections or cancer. Just wondering what others' have experienced. She is also eating and drinking. I know that is a good sign.

Huggies or Pampers. I was told one of them explodes easily and gets the gel stuff everywhere.

I am 14 weeks pregnant. I had to go through months of fertility, I have done my research, I take very good care of myself......etc. My husband and I have been together for 14 years and I would never jeopardize anything to hurt the pregnancy.

However, when speaking with friends, acquaintances, family members or just random people I get a lot of:

1. Oh you can't drink coffee anymore...I NEVER drink coffee, it upsets my stomach. Half of you have known me for 31 years when have you seen me drink coffee?? Maybe twice.

2. You have to get rid of your animals....I have 2 cats and a dog. Some people say my cats are going to kill my baby and my dog is going to be jealous and possibly attack it. My dog is a Boxer and absolutly LOVES babies and children. I know I have nothing to worry about. My cats, one of them is 27 lbs and can't even jump on the couch yet alone into a 4ft. high crib. But people still insist on arguing this with me.

3. Don't eat spicy foods.

4. Hope you are on prenatal vitamins.

5. When the baby comes you are going to do this and do that.....Uh, can I figure those things out on my own? You don't know how its going to be and if you do let me discover it.

Its like I feel people think I am an idiot. And most of the time its the same people reminding me of these certain issues. I am tired of it. Let me be. For example we visited my in-laws this last weekend for an early Thanksgiving and my husband's 'Mr. I know everything about everything brother' had a comment about everything I did or said or ate. Its like get off my back. We were talking about foreign beers and I mentioned the ones that I enjoy and he butts in with you can't drink beer, you can't drink any alcohol....DUH!!! 'I don't but is it ok with you that I talk about it." The next morning he goes to Starbucks and comes in and puts it in my face "HA HA you can't drink coffee anymore"...

And my other friend almost EVERYDAY reminds me of the cat box. Like I didn't hear her the first 35 times. I have talked to my Doctor and it doesn't matter how many times I tell her that, that it is OK to change the cat box as long as I wear gloves and a mask. I know it can be toxic but I keep a very clean house. And the box is kept on my patio.

So am I being too sensitive? Do you or did you get these comments from people? Or not these same comments but just over and over were you reminded of stuff you already know about? The first time I listened and took advice but the 2nd and 3rd and 4th time gets old.

I am 8 weeks pregnant and have been lucky so far with no morning sickness. I just get nauseated almost like car sick at night and dizzy. And there are days I can't get out of bed. I sometimes wonder if I do throw up it will make me feel better. What remedies helped you?

This is a new computer and a new problem I have noticed while typing on any program....As I am typing everything will either void out or transfer the last sentence to the middle or beginning of the Paragraph while I am typing...I have cleaned all cookies, ran a scan, deleted history...Anyone know what could be the problem?

I have been on-line checking out a TON of menus for restaurants downtown and at Pikes Place Market but can not seem to find a restaurant that serves pots of steamed clams, mussels, crab legs, clam chowder in bread bowls. I just see a lot of gourmet places or the list of places do not have on-line menus. Can you please help me? What is your favorite seafood restaurant downtown Seattle or Pikes Place? We are staying on 9th St. at The Camlin. Thanks so much!!

Visiting Seattle in September...any suggestions besides the Space Needle? What are your favorite spots to eat? We will defin. go to the Pike's Market and there are a ton of spots to eat...have any favorites there? Any suggestions will be great.

And what about the Underworld tour? Should we do that?
