That is lovely!DukieInKansas wrote:For my birthday, my sister and brother-in-law gave me 3 hours of house cleaning. Maria came and cleaned my house. When I changed jobs, my retiring boss paid me for my unused vacation. I decided to take a vacation from cleaning and the wonderful Maria is coming to my house every other week. It was so wonderful to come home to a clean house - and I didn't have to do anything but pick up stuff last night. I'm a very happy camper!![]()

For animals, yes. Rabies can be detected in humans after combining a variety of tests. So if you've got to get something, rabies is better?captmojo wrote:Isn't that the same method to be definite of rabies?DevilAlumna wrote:
If they ever come up with a way to test for CJD in humans, I'd get it, just so I could continue being a blood donor. But right now, as the nurse at the bloodmobile told me, the only test available is via an autopsy.I'll pass, thanks.
Good thing we didn't step in it.
Rabies is definitely preferable to CJD. We are able to detect rabies and a series of vaccines takes care of the problem. CJD is untreatable and an aggressive, nasty prion. It is devastating.Miles wrote:For animals, yes. Rabies can be detected in humans after combining a variety of tests.

We have more than our fair share of people coming to court who complain about their "high blood" and having "the sugar."CathyCA wrote:Felodipine, maybe? For his "high blood," er, hypertension.lawgrad91 wrote:Yesterday's defendant told the court that he took "Philippine" as a medication.
(I'm not a doctor, but I do have to figure this stuff out from time to time.) When my brother was in medical school, they had a specific class which dealt with country medicine and names that people out here in the sticks call their ailments and maladies. They also took a field trip to a farm so that they could see how people got injured in certain pieces of equipment.
Here are some examples of country medical terms:
Hard attack = heart attack
Athletic seizure = epileptic seizure
Cadillacs = cataracts
Oldtimers Disease = Alzheimer's
Chicken pops = chicken pox (Hey, even I called them "chicken pops" when I had them.)
Roaches on the liver = cirrhosis of the liver
Prostrate cancer = prostate cancer
Fireballs of the Eucharist = uterine fibroids
Sick as hell anemia = sickle cell anemia
The sugar = diabetes

I'd also have "poor feet" if I added about 150 pounds to my frame. Do I know her? Is she a patient of mine?windsor wrote:A woman I work with complains constantly about the sugar and high blood....it comes from her mommas side poor thing...I am sure her being north of 300lbs has nothing to do with it.![]()
