I'm so glad you discovered Margo's site and posted it here. She used to post on Garden Junk a long while ago. I miss her! I love her site! INSPIRING! You can see a simple screen door trellis I made which she posted on her door page. :o) Bear Hugs! Kirk Here is a link that might be useful: Trellis

Weather underground will give you this info. Do this: On the page that comes up for your zip code, go down down down the screen. You'll get to the part that lists individual local weather stations. Like Donn said, there may be a location really close to you, or similar distance from water. Now, click on that station name. Now you'll get a page with weather history of that station. Go down the page until you see the graphs. It's a little hard to know the exact temperature from the graph, which is one thing I wish they'd alter. But, close to 32 is about the same as being there, since frost can occur a little above 32, anyway! Some weather stations on W.Underground also have their own page, hosted by the maker of the weather equipment I think. (Under the map that shows the station location, you will see a link to visit its page) You may be able to read recent temps there more easily. Look at this page and see how yesterday's temps are easier to see. http://www.thehouseatsunsettrail.com/weather/wx.htm A caveat: some people's equipment is not situated to get a good reading on temp, rainfall, humidity etc. So, compare their temps with your own thermometer and keep that in mind.

I've suffered from hormonal headaches for 17 years. Sure wish "modern" science was more helpful, I've found out most of what helps by reading on my own. I think each person's case is different, so it helps to try different ideas. Also, stick with a treatment for a couple of months at least, some take longer to work than others. For me, these are the helpful hints. #1 - This is KEY. Take whatever pain killers you use at the very first sign that a headache is coming on. Take a moderate amount. DO NOT wait until the headache is bad before you take any pain killers. This strategy will avoid you having to take huge doses of painkillers that won't work when the headache has gotten to the problem stage. Then you will get on a roller coaster of painkillers and you will always have a low grade headache. This is called "rebound" headaches. Use over the counter painkillers to nip headaches in the bud, not tame a roaring one. Try to avoid getting the roaring ones. #2 - Eat small meals regularly to keep blood sugar level. Never eat sweets or refined carbohydrates alone, always have carbs with protein #3 - Watch your trigger foods. For me it is red wine. I can have one glass but not two. #4 - Watch your salt intake. Low salt is very important. #5 - Caffeine boosts the effectiveness of painkillers. It also upsets your stomach and makes you jittery. A little is good, a lot is bad. #6 - Having regular routines helps. Especially regular sleep hours. #7 - Thyroid can play a role, especially if you're having trouble sleeping. If you're tired all the time and having sleep irregularities, have your thyroid level checked. It doesn't give me headaches, but it made fighting them harder for me until I was diagnosed. #8 - My personal theory is that prostglandins contribute to headaches. If you are having bad menstural cramps, try and get those under control and your headaches may not be as bad. Try herbal teas for cramps before your period, and with phytoestrogens when it starts to taper off. #9 - I suppose exercise would be a real help, but that's a hard one for me. #10 - Try some of the new headache drugs. Imitrex pills were just sweet tarts to me, but the nasal spray works fairly well to take the edge off the worst ones. It's pricey though, so I try 1-9 first. If you can't afford Imitrex, try Vanquish, or for something cheap, take asprin 250 mg and acetomyaphin 250 mg with some coffee or coke. Don't start with 500 mg., this is for EMERGENCIES only. The best thing to do is start with a half dose at the first sign of a headache, and if that doesn't nip it in the bud quickly, then add the extra pill. I have both regular strenght and extra strength versions of asprin and acetomyaphen, (sorry, I have no idea how to spell the generic tylenol drug) so I can adjust my doses so I don't take more than I need to. If you're allergic to asprin or acetomyaphen, then just take one or the other. If they don't work for you, try a non-steroidal pain killer like advil or motrin. Watch how much of these things you take, because they are bad for your tummy and bad for your kidneys, and probably bad for a whole lot of other things. A little is good, a lot is bad. #11 - At the first sign of a roaring migrane coming on, arrange your schedule to get the quiet and rest you need. Don't try to be a hero or superwoman. You will only prolong your agony. Abort all non-essential missions, take a time out, and then pick up things with gusto once the headache passes. Remind yourself - IT WILL PASS. YOU WILL GET BACK TO NORMAL EVENTUALLY. NOBODY IS PERFECT EXCEPT GOD.

We feed her twice a day like the vet recommended. She's not deaf, she'll look at wear the sound is coming from, but won't respond, like she's ignoring us, or trying to. The other dog actually calmed her anxiety, she's a jealous dog, that can be sneaky though, which I forgot to inform you guys about (sorry, i was sort of panicking.) When she was a puppy we couldn't leave her a cage, that was around x5's bigger then her in the first place, because she had anxiety issues and would scratch her head against the side until it bled. So we got her a brother, and everything changed and she's really nice now. But Chester, Sophies "brother", is a soft-coated wheaten terrier, we've already took him to around 4 different trainers, I guess it's just his instincts preventing him changing into a nicer, calmer, relaxed, less dirty dog. ( We wash/groom him, but he loves going outdoors..so.ha.) And yes, we are feeding her a quality dog food that you can only buy at certain pet stores, not PetCo/PetSmart. Do they do blood work when dogs go into surgery? I know it may sound silly, but I'm sure if she's already gotten blood work done for all that. She had surgery earlier this summer for skin-tags, and cracked teeth, in multiple areas for the skin-tags. I really hope it's nothing more then old age, if there's cancer, It would really crush me. She's one of the prettiest weimaraners ever, well, not to be conceited, but she really is a pretty one. Oh, and she's kind of getting more paranoid in a sense. Getting scared really easily, I don't know why! We treat our dogs with respect like their our family, which they are, and there's no pet-abuse in the family either. (Never ever ever will that happen!)
