I too like many others here decided to try B 12. Mine was liquid B 12 complex. I have tried it several times at first not linking the headache with me taking the supplement. Then when I did get a headache I thought it was coincidental. It is not coincidental 5 times. I got it within hours after taking it. It lasts the remainder of the day and into the next day. BAD HEADACHE! Throwing my bottle away. PS. I even tried dividing the dosage from a full dropper to drops. That's why I tried it so many times. I just can't take this stuff. Not sure what in it is triggering the headache but no thanks!!

I cried reading everyone's responses. There is nothing like loosing your mother. I lost my mother on Feb 20th of this year and it was sudden but not unexpected as we knew were living on borrowed time, she suffered from COPD and congestive heart failure. We should have lost her in 2004 but she stayed with us till she had no reserve left, that is what the doc's call it when your lungs no longer have the capacity to store more oxygen. There is one thing I have learned that I would like to pass on and that is not to play the "what if" game with yourself. We can do that all day if we want but the end result is guilt because we create a scenario as we "Think" things may have turned out or may have been and no one knows or has a crystal ball to look back in time and say "yep had I done this or that things would have been better" Our mother's as stated in an earlier post really do not want their children to see them die. They are always thinking of us and I am sure they are thinking "I need to spare them this pain" and I have to say this. I was lucky enough to be with my mom when she took her last breath but that is an image I will never get out of my head. My mother's body once full of life, all of a sudden she was gone, it was the hardest thing I ever had to go through, to watch someone die in front of you is not something I ever want to see again, and yet, I am grateful I was able to be with her when she did pass. it sounds twisted I know, but it was just so truly sad to see her there one minute and then gone the next. Even though I spent 12 hours a day with her for 7 days before she died, I find myself thinking "I should have said or done more" but truly what else could I have said, or done. I sat next to her and held her hand, washed her face, stroked her head and face, massaged her arms and held her hand, kissed her face, made her laugh, shared moments with her, comforted her and gave her ice chips to suck on. I even bought her her favorite flower, a red rose. She smelled it, I brushed it against her cheek, she loved it. And all I did, I would catch myself and say, "if only I did more or said more" but I did not need to, and I remind myself of that all the time because that "What if" thought always pops into my head. Mother's know how much we love them, they see it in our eyes and we see how much they love us in their eyes. The sweetest thing my mother gave me was the look. She and I while I was drawing pictures of she and I when I was a little girl holding her hand, she looked at me and for 6 seconds we just stared at each other and I saw the most amazing amount of love she had for me, and we did not say a word but we smiled and cried and she said "I love you" and I know I will never experience anyone looking at me the way she did. Playing the "what if" game will just make you go nuts, I am sure our mother's knew how much we loved them, they could feel us even when we were not with them, and I am positive they did not want us to see them die, God controls everything for his own purpose and reasoning. And no matter what we may have felt we did wrong, or did not do enough of before our mother's passed, I for sure can say this, as they are in the presence of the Lord, all earthly things are passed and they are not thinking about what we did or did not do and they are for sure not judging us. There is one big party in heaven, a celebration for each child who comes home to be with the Lord, as the Lord knows our hearts, I am sure our mother's knew our hearts and knew we loved them. We are only human, not perfect, and we did the best we could and our mother's loved and love us no matter what. If you think they died alone I can honestly say that I truly believe when someone dies they are never alone, an angle is there to take them to heaven and my mom kept looking around the room before she passed as she said she heard strange sounds and wanted to know where they were coming from and she was so peaceful. I believe she heard the trumpet sounds being made for her entry into heaven. The bible says when we die, those who know the Lord are in his presence and all worries and pain and sadness are no longer. I hope this provides some comfort, just don't beat yourselves up about what you could have done or said. Our mother's know how much we loved them and all we wanted to say and do. God bless

The external temp sensor is used by the VP to control several functions. The unit will work without it but you will loose some functionality. The external temp is needed if you want the Vision Pro to control a whole house humudifier with frost protection. The external temp sensor is also used to control lockouts. For example - if you have a 2 stage heat pump with auxiliary electric heat - you can define a lockout temp such that if the outside tempertaure is above the lockout temp the Aux Heat will not come on (see parameter 0360). And of course if you want to display the outside air temp on your Vision Pro touch screen you need the external temp sensor too. The temp sensor doesn't cost much and you can get it at www.iaqsource.com. The part # is C7089U-1006 and it costs 29 dollars. When I ordered my VP's they offered a bundle with both the VP and the external temp sensor. I don't know where you purchased yours - you might want to check to see if it is included.

As part of a remodeling project to replace the 5 sliding glass doors (separate post on that) in my house and one exterior door prior to getting the exterior painted I decided to also investigate replacing the only 3 windows in the house as well. The window configurations are: 2 large 6'x6' double single hung windows and one 4'x6' single hung. They are all aluminum with narrow frames and likely the original ones from when the house was built in 1979. Although I live in the Phoenix, AZ area solar heat gain is not really a main factor because it is impossible for 2 of the 3 windows to get direct sunlight and the 3rd window gets partially shaded morning sun (it has an Eastern exposure). Regardless of this I still want to get a decent window that will hold up over time (they will not see a lot of opening/closing as long as I'm in the house though) and is EnergyStar rated for my climate. Based on a recommendation from a friend, who has had some windows replaced over the past couple of years, I investigated Milgard's vinyl options and targeted their Style Line (I like the thinner profile frames) and got a few quotes. Now that I am considering a Weather Shield product for the sliding glass door replacement their VISIONS 2000 vinyl windows have also made it onto my radar. Has anyone had any experience with the Weather Shield VISIONS 2000 line (or 3000 line which is wider framed similar to the Milgard Tuscany product)? Thanks in advance!
