It's called baylisascaris. It's very hardy and can survive a long time under adverse circumstances. When I volunteered at the wildlife rehab hospital, we washed all raccoon dishes and laundry separate...

OSB, thanks, I knew that it was my tibia, even though it feels like it is my lower knee cap. It's odd- this hurt too much to put weight on for several days the first week, then it pretty much subsided...

We haven't had a raccoon in the house, but a couple of times we have had a squirrel in our house. Once years ago when we were gone for six weeks, we came home to an awful smell in our bedroom closet...

Interesting information on that link, Chichi. I'd heard of one local woman who had something similar from not washing her hands well enough after working with some raw shrimp - don't recall the name,...

Speaking of animals ---- Brandi (our dog) and I went down to the end of the driveway to pick up the Sunday paper this morning. I had just picked up the paper, when Brandi turned around, yanked on her...

Ou, Mike, I imagine they could make a nasty gash? Maybe a walking stick is in order for the next trip for the paper? Or, I wonder if the spray bottle of ammonia would be a better choice?

Well, life has changed for me. As I have in another post, I can't get into yuku from home. Wasn't a big problem when I had a job, but I was laid off the day before my vacation. I took the vacation and...

Sorry to hear that ncgrrl. I had not heard about it. You are not alone in this I am afraid. My oldest son has the same problem. It is rough out there right now. We'll keep our eyes and ears open.

"Those in the Durham area might have read about it." Is it something you'd like to talk about, ncgrrl - or best, the less said the better? I've recently been cut back, but not totally out (yet). But,...

I don't think it's anything out of the ordinary OSB. We've been hearing about layoffs in various newspapers and lots of other businesses. It is just a sign of the times. I don't think we are suffering...

ncgrrl, you have my sympathies. I've been there...was out of work for 18 months at one point. I hope you have some good luck finding something. As odd as it seems, here in Massachusetts, the job...

Oh, shoot, ncgrrl . We were just talking about you today wondering if that geocache ever made it to you. I'm sorry you're going through this rough patch at the moment. I hope it all works out soon. I...

Our local housing market is holding it's own. Not great, but not going down as of June reports (not sure of July). They say we're in a 'bubble' - I hope it doesn't burst! Of course, gas &...
