Welcome to bumsnet(1000 Posts)
All aboard the bumsnet bus!
This bus if for anyone genuinely ttc, for anyone just starting on the tTC journey or thoes who have been trying for years.
No entry requirements, only that you join in supporting us all to destination BFP.
Thanks for making the new bus Boris
Thanks for the new bus Boris!
Thanks for starting a new bus boris.
Sorry AF got you early sammy but good luck with your IVF cycle. Fx this is the one.
Thanks for the new bus Boris Hope the scans go well and you'll be flying out next week. It must all feel a bit surreal..FX that everything goes well for you.
Dizzy sorry about AF. I hope there will be lots of dtd this month for you!!
Thanks for your HSG stories - I do appreciate your honesty. I can't say I'm looking forward to it but know it needs to be done so will organise it for next month.
Sammy sorry about AF but good luck with the IVF!
Hooray for your appointment Magpie That sounded really useful, and while obviously I'm sorry about the PCOS diagnosis, at least you have a diagnosis and drugs to help! I hope the scan goes well for you.
Hope you're feeling better Kellz?
Can I join the bus please? I'm going slightly nuts over thinking things. Took a first response on Wednesday, when I was due but it was negative. Still no sign of AF, I've had some normal AF symptoms and unusual waves of nausea the last couple of days. My stomach is also blown up like a ballon which is a normal endometriosis sign that AF is on her way.
DH wants me to hold out until the weekend because of how iregular my cycle can be.
Hi bird and welcome. Hope AF stays away for you.
Ghengis - I had a hycosy rather than hsg but I think they're pretty similar. I can't say it was the nicest experience ever, there were waves of what felt like strong period pains, but it was over fairly quickly. The worst bit for me was that my blood pressure crashed afterwards (can apparently happen after they have touched the cervix) and so I felt all hot and sick. They were ready for it though, and again it only lasted a few minutes.
You will be fine. Take your own sanitary towel for afterwards as the ones they provide are usually ginormous! This is to catch the dye, and any spotting you may have. Xx
Welcome bird, how long have you been trying for? Hope Af stays away.
Thank you for the welcome ladies.
This is cycle #3. I still haven't seen anyone about how or if my endometriosis effects my fertility so I feel really hard to stay positive that something will happen.
I also just tested first thing this morning and got another bfn. So I'm just waiting for AF now.
Genghis thanks lovely, hope you get your HSG appointment sorted soon.
Birdboo welcome! Sorry for the bfn. If I was in your position, I'd go have a chat with the GP about TTC to see if there's any help they can give you as you're already diagnosed with endo.
Waves to everyone else. Hope you all have a lovely day.
My norethisterone withdrawal bleed started last night and have just taken my first metformin today. I'm also looking into low GI diets as I've read that it can help PCOS.
Hi everyone. Thanks for the new bus.
AF is due tomorrow. No signs that she won't turn up and after only DTD once during the relevant time, I am resigned to it. But, I have all kinds of things planned for next cycle.
Hopefully AF will stay away fuzzy and you won't need them, but what are your plans?
Fingers crossed for you fuzzy.
Unfortunately my Drs have been pretty useless with our ttc. I've already been in tears after seeing one dr who told me that they didn't even understand why I was asking as we hadn't given nature time!
Sorry to hear you have unsympathetic doctors birdboo and I hope you can find a good one.
Magpie evening primrose oil, acupuncture, Chinese herbs, Clearblue OPKs, IC OPKs and pregnacare. Both times before that I have got pregnant, I used the Chinese herbs.
Genghis im feeling a bit better thanks.
Ladies im looking for advice. I know the CB monitor can be inaccurate so im not worried about that, but a few days ago my temp dropped right down, i was getting pains in my left side, quite a bit of ewcm. I bought some boots opks, had a dark one on tuesday night, and yesterday morning. Did one last night and it was darker again, but just lighter than the control line. My temperature has started rising again - waiting til tomorrow to see if i get my 3rd rise. Is it possible that yesterday could have been positive opks. In all the cycles ive had i have never had exact same colour of lines, always slightly lighter, i have read up that this can happen as my regular level of LH is slightly less so should use more sensitive opks.
Just worrying because ive never not ovulated and ive been getting all the symptoms.
Sorry for the wee novel haha
Yes Kellz. Some women have a really short lh surge so you might have just missed it or a positive for you might be lighter than other women. Whatever your bbt is, will be far more reliable than OPKs.
I feel really bad about my earlier posts now as I have just tested and got a BFP. Scared now as I don't have a good track record with babies sticking but am going to be optimistic about this one.
I really really hope I see all of you have your BFPs and babies soon. Good luck everyone.
Lucie, am I right in thinking you are having more treatment this week? Am thinking of you.
Im hoping so, if this month isnt for us then i think im going to stop trying for a while as i dont feel like ill ever get my bfp.
Congratulations xxx
Fuzzy, that's brilliant news. Keeping my fingers crossed for a sticky one for you! Yes I am due to start NHS treatment next week. Af is due to arrive on Saturday and then I can get going. Will let you know if I ever get that elusive bfp!
Congratulations fuzzy!!! We really needed a bfp on here and what a great start to the new bus.
Hopefully it will be full of bfps. Fx for a super sticky bean.
Kellz opks always confuse me! As fuzzy
says some of us have a very short surge or it could be a positive for you. Hopefully your temps will confirm ov. Your time will come and I know how hard it is to keep going when we can't see an end to our ttc journey but it will happen we just need to keep on trying
Congratulations fuzzy
Fuzzy!! That's fantastic news, so happy for you. Just goes to show it only takes the once!
Lucie all the best for your treatment.
Kellz you'll get there, though I understanding wanting to take a break. As others have said it can be easy to miss the surge so trust those temps over the OPKs.
Bird so sorry that your doctors have been rubbish. Is there anyone else at your surgery you can see? Or even switching surgeries? I've found there's a massive difference in the support and treatments you get if you see the right doctor.
My AF cramps are awful, so I got some feminax max strength from the pharmacy. I used to take it years ago and found it helpful. I read the leaflet though and it says not to take it without speaking to your doctor if you're TTC or struggling TTC. Anyone know why? I'm scared to take it now!
Sorry missed your post birdboo. Welcome I think you're right to be concerned about ttc with endo. I had endo so severe that I feel we wasted about 2 years ttc without knowing I had it and it had stuck to my tubes so they were shut.
Can you go back to your GP to have another chat and maybe ask for some diagnostic checks?
Sorry for the awful AF cramps magpie and not sure about the feminax. Have you tried taking any other painkillers? I found a hot water bottle used to help. Hope the cramps ease off. I'm on cd2 and the blood is just gushing out of me but on the upside it's all relatively painless.
I'm at the blood gushing stage too (also CD2)
I had some co-codemol which has taken the edge off the cramps a bit but I've still got a painful heavy feeling that isn't shifting. Who the hell invented periods?!
It's all very cruel isn't it? Not only is there an absence of a bfp but we have to put up with awful periods just to remind us that we actually didn't get what we wanted! That's how I feel right now anyway Hopefully it'll pass soon and I have a cycle buddy. I last had a buddy in night and mummy and they went on to get their bfps so hopefully I'll score a hat trick and it'll be you next. Though I do hope we go off to bfp land hand in hand!!!

There are some wonderful ideas out there in the blog world and magazines for Valentines Day. However there are times that we just don't have the time to do fancy things. Maybe we are not crafty, or we have to work all day or a million other things that come our way. This does not mean we can't make things simple and still have a memory for our children that they will remember and enjoy. It really doesn't take much to make them happy, they just want to spend time with you. Tonight we are making one of our favorite meals-chicken enchiladas and popping some Pillsbury ready to make Valentine Cookies in the oven and probably play a quick game of Go Fish since it is now my daughters obsession.
Simple but fun! Don't feel guilty if you have not made the home made from scratch Valentines Day cake and made lots of crafts together. Sometimes we decide to do nothing because we couldn't go all out, there will be times to go all out but when you can't it doesn't take too much to make a simple memory that your kids will LOVE!

UT Tyler softball wins 2017 Tyler Regional
The No. 4-ranked UT Tyler softball team advanced to the NCAA Division III Super Regional round after earning a pair of wins over No. 5 Texas Lutheran on Saturday in the Tyler Regional finals at Suddenlink Field.
The Patriots (42-4) will host the Super Regional next weekend against either No. 17 Whitworth or No. 10 East Texas Baptist. The Tigers and Whitworth will play a regional final on Sunday afternoon in Marshall after WC forced the if-needed contest with a 3-1 win over ETBU on Saturday. UT Tyler, which also topped TLU in last year's regional, did not need an extra game to advance to the next round after cruising through its home regional with three straight wins, including an 8-6 win to start the day and then a 5-2 win that ended with a dogpile inside the pitcher's circle.
UT Tyler freshman Whitney Romero (14-1) was named the regional's most valuable player and earned the win in the game after striking out six and limiting the Bulldogs to three hits. Romero, who also hit a two-run home run in the day's opener, fielded a grounder and tossed to first base to end the tournament. She also had the save in the first game of the day to showcase her versatility as a pitcher, and now, a hitter. Kaylee Prather went 2-for-4 and scored a run for the Patriots, while KK Stevens was 2-for-2 and Bianca Van Vlerah 2-for-3. Hannah Moore was 1-for-3 with a solo home run to lead off the sixth inning.
The Patriots led 2-0 after the first inning with KK Stevens hitting an RBI double and Mel Hinojosa picking up another RBI on a groundout. The lead grew to 4-0 in the third with Hinojosa hitting an RBI single through the middle of the infield and Bianca Van Vlerah hitting an RBI double down the right-field line. TLU would get runs in the fourth and fifth innings to make it 4-2, but a sixth inning home run by Hannah Moore would cap scoring for the day with Romero cruising in the top of the seventh.
TLU came into the day on a 38-game winning streak and had its season end with a 38-6 overall record.

Great Bedroom Addition
My boyfriend and I needed a small addition to our bedroom that would also provide us with a little extra storage space and this was perfect! It is not a statement piece, but would definitely recommend it!
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Very close-perhaps a little darker
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Very good
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Very good

Eh? For Canon & HP the ink has already seen 300+ degrees in the printhead.
I'm planning to use 3 mil pouches (probably lowest temp setting) in this machine
Which Sam's has for $80. At least it's a 4 roller system, which I hear is good.
That doesn't change the fact that Epson has misled consumers and should
really do something about it.
I thought the claims were only for the Durabrite & Ultrachrome inks, the C and R series Epsons. As far as I know, they deliver.

I have never found virtual desktops to be so much of a use. However today I tried one and actually found it pretty useful. The basic idea is to have several desktops with the opened windows there (the icons on the desktop stay the same but you can actually change the wallpaper). Instead of minimizing and restoring windows, use the hotkey to switch to the different desktop. For example, on the first screen at work I have my development environment, on the second web I keep chat, email related application windows, and my mp3 player with the file manager go into the third virtual desktop. System tray (aka notification area or bottom right corner :))stays the same all the time and only the taskbar is changing from one virtual desktop to another.
Mcrosoft has this utility as a part of the PowerToys for WindowsXP. However I have found similar utility that I like more, since it seems to be a bit faster and it open source:

In a few weeks we will be driving from NJ to Richmond VA and the on to the east cost of Florida. I have done searches here to look at past posts, but have had some trouble finding up to date and useful information.
Can you suggest any better routes than 95, either to avoid construction or to make it more scenic without adding too much extra time to the drive?
On the way home we are thinking of stopping in Savannah and somewhere along the NC coast; we have never been to either place. Any suggestions ? Are stores and restaurants open this time of year in the Outer Banks?
Thanks for any advice you can share.

Take I-80 West out until the end. Get on 101 South. Follow until I-10 East. When you get to Florida, make a right.

From NJTP take 13S to 301S to Richmond.
Richond take I64E to 17S.

What's wrong with I95? By the time you monkey around with an alternate, less direct route you'll be making worse time than if you just stuck it out. A lot of it depends on when you leave. Try to avoid major cities during rush hour and you should cruise straight through, barring a little construction traffic here and there.
Report Abuse
I, too, hate 95. If you didn't have to stop in Richmond, I'd say take the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel to Norfolk through the Eastern Shore. You could even take the Cape May-Lewes Ferry. We used to live in Norfolk, and would go that route to go north instead of going through DC on 95 and found it much more pleasant. Parts of 17 are four lane and nice in North Carolina, but you would probably lose a lot of time. Good luck.
Report Abuse
you could take the auto train (from lorton Va, approx. 1 hour from richmond), down to samford (near orlando) or the cape-may lewes ferry to delaware as described above. 95 does suck, but the alternatives aren't much better.

You are right that 95 can be a nightmare... but even though the Carolinas and Georgia on some busy days. Check on 85 South ... it might take you too west but my cousin drove to NC from RI on it without traffic. RE: the Outer Banks,,,, they are pretty far out from 95..and I don't imagine there would be all that much to do there in the cold weather. Savannah is a good choice and not far from 95.. IN NC, Wilmington is a sort of semi-Savannhah.. on the coast,historic district and some shops and decent resturants.

One of my "pet peeve" topics. Somewhere in the last year or so, I posted detailed instructions about avoiding the DC area on I-95, which is worth doing at all costs. You could trying search on "I-95" but "mm" has it, basically -- check a map and do what it takes to get to and stay on 301 until you are near Richmond.
I-95 from Richmond to "South of the Border" between NC and SC isn't bad. But once you are into SC, it goes down to 2 lanes each way, which isn't a problem UNLESS it IS, as with an accident or a major southward migration on a weekend, esp. on or near spring break or a major holiday or the bikers' weekend (find out when that is). From Florence to the turn-off for I-5 it can be miserable beyond description, or occasionally a breeze -- hard to know ahead of time.
Unfortunately, from Florence to Jacksonville you just have no decent parallel routes without going way inland via Atlanta. (Wandering around the coast on something like 17 or whatever's there would take you weeks.) Best you can do is try to time your transit between Florence and Jacksonville for midweek, and get the earliest start you can.
For some reason, going north isn't nearly as bad. And the side trip to Savannah is a wonderful thing to do, and I highly recommend it. Eat at the Pink House. In NC, you could consider Wilmington -- another coastal city with deep history (unlike many southern cities, both Savannah and Wilmington are as proud of their Revolutionary history as they are of their Civil War history), but it's true that the Outer Banks would add at least another full day to your itinerary. (And sorry, but I don't think that Elizabeth City for itself is worth the detour.)
If you are willing to make the Outer Banks detour, I strongly recommend taking the Ocracoke ferry from outside New Bern, spending a little time there, and then working your way up the banks to Kitty Hawk/Kill Devil Hills. But be very aware of the distances here -- the total drive between Ocracoke and Kitty Hawk, with no stops, could be as much as 3 hrs. not including waiting time for the Hatteras ferry. And that's not counting the time, 1 1/2-2 hrs., from I-95 out to New Bern and back from Kitty Hawk (although you can also drive straight north to Newport News area from Elizabeth City and get to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel and avoid I-95 north altogether).
Have a good trip.

A PS: To get schedules and info on Ocracoke and Hatteras ferries, try: http://www.hatteras-nc.com/ferry/
Also: FYI The time from I-95 to Cedar Island-Ocracoke ferry slip plus waiting time for the ferry plus the 1 1/2 hr. ferry ride to Ocracoke could add up to a whole morning, but not an unpleasant one.
Also: yes, the Outer Banks are "open" this time of year, although very sparsely re: touristy entertainment (no water slides!). There are year-rounders out there, and they need groceries and places to eat. All but a few of the hotels/motels are year round, or just closed in January.

The worst part of Rte 95 is from NJ down past Wash DC to the VA area and just beyond. Take Rte 80 West past the Water gap and hop on Rte 81 South. I can't recall where the best place is to rejoin Rte 95 but my parents make this drive every winter. They took the upper portion of Rte 95 once and swear they will never travel that route again.

That would be I-81 south to exit #81 just before Wytheville. Pick up I-77 and take it through NC into Columbia, SC. In Columbia, take I-26E to I95. That point is about 170 miles from the GA line. It's much better than the I-95 hassle.

Patients are receiving treatment that may be unsound as investigations by Ian Roberts and colleagues raise questions about whether influential trials of high dose mannitol ever took place
Each year, worldwide, many thousands of people are treated in emergency departments for head injuries. Mannitol is an osmotic diuretic that is believed to reduce intracranial pressure after head injury and may improve patient outcome. Between 2001 and 2004, a Brazilian neurosurgeon Julio Cruz and colleagues published three clinical trials comparing high dose and conventional dose mannitol in the treatment of head injury (table(table).1,2,3 No other trials had examined this question.
The results showed that high dose mannitol greatly reduced death and disability six months after the head injury. A Cochrane systematic review that included these trials concluded: "high dose mannitol seems to be preferable to conventional dose mannitol in the acute management of comatose patients with severe head injury."4 However, one of the trials was accompanied by an editorial that questioned the reliability and validity of the results, calling for further multicentre studies.5 A subsequent investigation by the Cochrane Collaboration was unable to confirm that the studies took place.
In May 2006, Dr Jorge Mejia, the Colombian national coordinator of the CRASH-2 (clinical randomisation of an antifibrinolytic in significant haemorrhage; www.crash2.Lshtm.ac.uk) trial, wrote to IR (who is editor of the Cochrane Injuries Group) after attending a meeting of the Latin American Brain Injury Consortium in Brazil. He was concerned about the inclusion of the Cruz trials in the Cochrane review:
"During the discussion some Brazilian physicians expressed some surprise with the inclusion of Julio Cruz' paper in the meta-analysis (Cruz 2004; J Neurosurgery, 100:376) … Cruz had no patients at his arrival to Brasil, back from USA where he had developed his research career."
Dr Mejia was clearly shocked by this revelation: "I do not know what to do, but I feel betrayed. I guess that someone should contact the others authors and ask them. I feel that I can not stay passive, but I have no evidence."
Dr Cruz, the lead author, had killed himself in 2005. However, the reports had coauthors from Italy and Japan, and we contacted them for further information.
Dr Minoja wrote on 15 May 2006:
"It was a pleasure for me to be included along the authors of the papers written by Julio Cruz on the use of high doses of mannitol in head trauma emergencies. My Unit and I did not provide to Dr. Cruz a personal series of randomized patients, but my contribution was discussing with him and sharing his assumption, because occasionally, in emergency situations, I have used and I still use with success aggressive high-dose mannitol approach."
In a second message, he wrote: "I think that patients were enrolled in USA and more recently in Brazil, but I honestly don't know the period and in what Institution."
Dr Okuchi responded:
"Since I did not conduct any study related to the results of Dr Cruz's high-dose mannitol trials in Japan, I have no data to present you. I did not know any part of the paper before he called me about the acceptance in the journal every time" (18 May 2006).
Dr Facco wrote:
"The paper I am co-author, springs from the clinical experience I shared with Julio Cruz about the potential effectiveness of high doses of mannitol in selected very critical patients. I discussed with him (mainly by phone) about my anecdotal experience I never had the opportunity to check in a prospective study, and he also had the same clinical impression of its effectiveness .... Following our discussion, he decided to test high mannitol doses in the emergency setting and involved me as co-author, but my role was "philosophical" rather than clinical: to my knowledge, the study was conducted personally by Julio, probably in Brazil, and I only helped him with discussion and text revision" (22 May 2006).
Since none of the authors could provide any reassurance about the integrity of data, the Cochrane systematic review was withdrawn in 2006 while an investigation was made.
The Cruz papers were published in Neurosurgery and the Journal of Neurosurgery and we wrote to the editors about the concerns. In July 2006, John Jane, the editor of the Journal of Neurosurgery wrote:
"I have tried unsuccessfully to contact you by phone with regard to the Cruz papers. As you can tell by Dr. Marshall's editorial, we all doubted the data. But to doubt is different from concluding that Dr. Cruz fabricated the data. I thought he did, but hoped as stated in the editorial that publication would encourage repetition of the studies. My Editorial Board thought Dr. Cruz' work should be published. I wouldn't trust the data."
The editorial by Dr Marshall which accompanied the Journal of Neurosurgery report stated:
"These results are clearly of substantial interest, but also raise questions about how reliable and valid are clinical studies that show very dramatic improvements in outcome when they are performed at only one institution. This does not demean the work of Dr Cruz and his colleagues; rather it indicates that multicentre studies, such as those being conducted at present for novel pharmacological therapies, need to be applied to alternative dosing regimens for more traditional methodologies."5
We asked Dr Marshall if he had any concerns about the integrity of the data. He would not respond in writing but he left a phone message saying that he had "serious concerns" about the paper (8 August 2006).
The editorial office of Neurosurgery wrote:
"With a serious charge, the possible fabrication of trials, a case must formally be presented with any and all possible evidence that would indicate the cause for concern and the reviewers must then address the issue. It is not possible or responsible for the Editor of a peer-reviewed journal to act hastily in such a matter without the input of the reviewers who originally accepted the paper, nor would it be responsible to simply pull the papers without presentation of the results of an investigation into the matter. An unsubstantiated claim and verbal recitation of the inquiries made cannot suffice" (8 December 2006).
We have had no further correspondence.
None of the reports indicated where the patients came from. All of them stated that "institutional review board approval was obtained" but gave no further details. On each report, the Dr Cruz's affiliation was the Comprehensive International Centre for Neuroemergencies and Federal University of São Paulo." Reprint requests were to the centre at a postal box address in São Paulo. We were unable to find any further information about the centre. In October 2006, the Federal University of São Paulo stated in response to our inquiry that it had never employed Dr Cruz.
We also wrote to the Brazilian national committee on ethics in research, which began an investigation. The investigation found that Dr Cruz had given an interview in which he said that the patients in one of the trials were from eight hospitals in Brazil, Italy, and Japan. However, the authors from Italy and Japan had told us that they did not enrol any patients at their hospitals. Dr Minoja had said that he thought that the patients might have been recruited in the US (15 May 2006). We contacted the University of Pennsylvania, where Dr Cruz had worked until March 1995. They searched their records but found no indication that the research was conducted there (Steven Fluharty, personal communication, 8 December 2006).
In September the Committee on Publication Ethics recommended that the living authors seek retraction of the reports on the basis that they were gift authors and could not take responsibility for the results. We wrote to all three coauthors on 21 September asking if they would be willing to seek retraction.
Dr Okuchi replied the next day: "I would like to retract these papers from the journals because I am not able to take responsibility for the content. Could you let me know how to act formally for the purpose." A few days later (25 September) he wrote again, "On my last e-mail letter, I had mentioned withdrawal of the papers, however I found that I had no right to retract the papers from the journals. I think it depends on whether Dr Cruz will decide or not ... I will contact him in a few days."
IR wrote again to the coauthors on 10 October explaining that Dr Cruz was dead, stating that "it would be wrong of me not to follow up this matter and so unless you contact the journals in question to seek retraction I will have to write to your institutions to ask for their help. It is an unfortunate business but it will be better for everyone concerned that you take the appropriate steps to resolve this matter."
Later that month (27 October), Dr Facco wrote on behalf of Dr Minoja and Dr Okuchi. He said that they did not believe that they were gift authors and declined to seek retraction. He argued that the papers were published in an international peer reviewed journal, that the first author had taken responsibility for their content, and that they knew the first author well and believed that "he would never have been able to do something false."
We are left with serious doubt about important studies but with no way of determining with confidence whether the results are fabricated or real. The main author is dead. There is no institution to investigate. The implications for patients are serious. They are being treated on the basis of potentially unreliable evidence. It is plausible that mannitol in high doses may increase rather than decrease brain swelling.6 Shortly after the withdrawal of the Cochrane review, the Cochrane Injuries Group was contacted by US researchers preparing guidelines for the management of severe traumatic brain injury and by BMJClinical Evidence asking about the outcome of our investigation because the Cruz results were about to be incorporated into guidelines.
There are also implications for the broader scientific community. Earlier this year an investigation by Science of more than a dozen fraud or suspected fraud cases showed "uneven and often chaotic efforts to correct the scientific literature."7 If it wants to retain the confidence of the public and politicians, the scientific community needs to do better. Only a minority of countries have an effective national system for responding to scientific misconduct. However, research is a global enterprise and a strong case exists for an international body to respond to the problem of research misconduct.
Contributors and sources: IR conducted the investigation with advice from RS and SE. All authors contributed to the writing of the manuscript. IR is guarantor.
Competing interests: RS has a longstanding interest in research misconduct and was a founder member of the Committee on Publication Ethics. The only way that he could benefit financially from this article is if more people were to buy his book, which includes a chapter on research misconduct. IR is coordinating editor of the Cochrane Injuries Group and is an author of the mannitol review.

Not surprisingly, the next morning was a little busy at the office. Along with the patients who had appointments, there were several walk-ins who needed attention for things that had happened over the weekend. It often happened on Mondays, but with the long weekend it was worse than normal on this one. As a result, Tricia, Heather, and Molly were late getting started on their brief lunch.
"So," Heather asked, "how did the beef stroganoff work out?"
"Just fine," Tricia smiled. "I got it right the first time, more's the amazement."
"I figured you would," Heather grinned. "It's not that complicated, is it?"
"It may not be complicated to you but it sure is for me," Tricia told her. "Maybe I can serve it again sometime. I may give it another practice run to be sure."
"So did you do anything interesting over the weekend?"
"Well, a little," Tricia admitted, not wanting to give her office gossips an inch – but it would be fun to tease them a little. "I went out with Henry yesterday."
"Oh, wow!" Molly laughed. "This sounds like it's getting serious. Something romantic?"
"Not really," Tricia smiled at her. "He took me out to his sister's to give me a dogsled ride. I wound up having to suture a dog that got torn up in a fight, and got dog crap all over my jeans in the process. Riding a dogsled was pretty fun, though. Not exactly candlelight and roses and wine, if you get my meaning."
"Those people are pretty serious about their dogsledding," Heather observed. "I think they have to be pretty close to crazy to do it."
"Well, they're good people, no doubt about it, even if they are a little odd. It strikes me as a little cold for my blood, but it was fun on a nice day like yesterday. The rest of the weekend I just laid around the house and read Ferry to Kolombanara, Wendy Carter's book, you know?"
"I've read it," Molly said. "It's pretty good, if not my kind of thing. The really amazing thing is knowing who wrote it. I knew Wendy before her accident, she was a year behind me. She was just a giddy cheerleader-type kid, nothing special, but she sure came out different from what anyone could have dreamed."
"My guess is that her accident is what turned her into the person who could write something like that," Heather observed. "It's really awesome when you stop and think about it."
"It really is," Molly agreed, and dragged the subject back on track. "So, this thing with you and Henry, is it going anywhere?"
"There is no 'thing,'" Tricia fibbed a little. It was only a slight bit of any kind of a "thing" in her mind and she didn't have any idea of how Henry really felt about it. Maybe not much; he still was wrapped up in his concerns about Cindy, after all. But Molly didn't need to know that, or much of what he had told her on Saturday night. "We just live next door to each other, and we've gotten to be friends a little bit. It was just nice to get out of the house for a while yesterday, and really, that's all there was."
But even as she said it, she realized that while it wasn't a "thing" yet, there was at least the potential of it becoming one given enough time. For now, it was just nice to have the potential lying there; she'd just have to wait and see what happened. There were a number of problems to be solved, bridges that would have to be crossed, and plenty of opportunity for things to not work out. For now, though, all she could do would be to enjoy it, and maybe expand her own horizons a little in the process.
Over the next few weeks Tricia didn't see a great deal of Henry. Oh, he was next door, and occasionally they'd say hello to each other in passing, but not often. He was very busy at work, and their schedules didn't often match up; he was also spending some time out training dogs when he had time, and often in weather conditions a little less inviting than those on the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Still, they managed to spend an evening or so together each week. On one occasion Tricia tried another of Heather's recipes on him, this time roast beef; it came out all right, but Henry suggested some modifications that might help it taste a little better and more individualized the next time.
A couple of weeks after their first excursion out to Run-8 Kennels, they went there together again, on a day that wasn't quite as nice as their first trip, but wasn't bad, either. This time, after a little refresher training, Tricia found herself running a team of half a dozen dogs out around the training trails a bit, with Tiffany along with her, at least partly to help with the dogs but to keep an eye on her too. It all went pretty well, and later in the afternoon she was part of a group, which included Henry, that took teams of dogs about that size up a longer training trail several miles to the east and back. It was thoroughly enjoyable, and it still amazed her that she could be doing such a thing. She didn't think she'd ever be as serious about it as Candice was, but once again it was better than sitting around the house with a book in her hand. While she managed to make it through Ferry to Kolombanara, it took her longer than she had anticipated, but she was thoroughly satisfied with finishing it; it was enjoyable, but she was discovering there were other things to do, too.
The next Saturday was an even nicer day, and she and Henry had made plans to get together and do something. Tricia figured it would be out to Run-8 again, and was looking forward to it, but Henry said if she didn't mind he'd like to do something else. "I don't want them to be expecting it of me," he explained. "Dropping in once in a while to help out is one thing, but I don't want to make a regular thing of it. I got enough of that in high school."
"Something else" proved to be a trip to the local ski hill, a few miles out of town. It was not a big hill, and seemed a little run-down. "But Henry!" she protested, "I don't ski! I'm a Los Angeles girl, and I've never been on skis in my life."
"Had you ever run a dog team a month ago?"
"Well, no."
"First time for everything, don't you know? I'm not much of a skier myself but I made it out here a few times when I was a kid, and I thought this would make something fun and different to do. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work, and that's fine. If it does work, there's a much nicer ski hill over at Three Pines I wouldn't mind going to sometime."
Given his own lack of experience, Henry didn't even think about trying to teach her how to ski; that was what instructors were paid for after all. Although she was an absolute beginner, Tricia picked up the basics pretty quickly. They took a couple of breaks in the rather ratty little warming shelter and snack bar, but by the end of the day she was going down the hill with at least a little bit of confidence. Clearly there was much more to learn, but she found herself looking forward to learning it.
By then, Christmas was getting close. Like other holidays, Christmas had come to mean relatively little to her; especially in recent years it had become mostly a lonely time to get through until she could get back to her studies. In her internship and residency, it had mostly just been another work day, with a little festivity around to remind her that others were getting some warm times with family and friends out of it.
Realistically, this one looked to be little different. While she was starting to make some friends in Spearfish Lake, they all had families of their own. Both Molly's and Heather's families were going to be heading to out-of-town relatives for this holiday. While Henry was getting to be a better friend, she didn't think she was that close to him yet, especially since he had plenty of family of his own in the area.
Therefore, she was very surprised when he asked her to come to Christmas dinner with him at Josh and Tiffany's house. "It'll be a big mob scene, it always is," he explained. "Lots of Archers and relatives, and my folks right in the thick of things, of course."
"But Henry," she protested a little mildly, "I think I'd feel a little out of place."
"No way," he smiled. "You're already a little bit of a Run-8 musher anyway, and almost everybody there is going to be part of that crowd in one way or another. Besides, it'd be fun to bring a date to Christmas, just so the folks and a few other people would get the message that Cindy is history."
The word "date" resonated in her mind, at least when Henry used it for her. While they'd been a little casual about their friendship, she hadn't been terribly clear that he had been thinking of her in that way. Maybe, she thought, he's beginning to look past Cindy a little bit, and maybe she'd been part of his getting that way. She still didn't want to say anything about it to Molly, but maybe things were progressing with Henry a little. If so, that was just fine with her; she was in no hurry, and there were some issues ahead in her own mind she had to think over before they got too far anyway.
But still, the prospect of not being alone on Christmas brought a real warmness to her heart, something like how her heart had been warmed when Heather invited her out to her house for Thanksgiving. That made her think she ought to give Henry a Christmas present, but she wasn't too sure what to get for him, and she certainly didn't want to bring the idea up around Heather and Molly, as she didn't want them reading anything into it that might not be there.
In the end, a decent idea came to her. One day she skipped lunch with Heather and Molly and went downtown, saying she had some running to do, and drove right down to Spearfish Lake Outfitters on Lakeshore. Candice was in the store doing something, and Tricia laid the problem out in front of her.
"Oh, yeah, no problem," she grinned. "That ski jacket he has is a little beat up. I think he's had it since he was in high school, anyway. Besides, it's a little small for him now."
The bill for the jacket was nearly a hundred dollars, but Tricia figured it was worth it. Candice was even nice enough to not only wrap it, but agreed to sneak it over to Josh and Tiffany's for her, so it would really be a surprise for Henry.
Tricia and Henry had a light breakfast on his side of the wall on Christmas morning; there was no point in eating too heavily since there would be plenty of opportunity for it later, he explained. In the late part of the morning they got into his car and drove out to Josh and Tiffany's house, where the family was gathering.
It was quite a crowd, ranging from Josh and Tiffany's kids, who were in elementary school, up to Walt Archer, the patriarch of the clan. Walt was pushing eighty, but he still ran a railroad engine every once in a while to fill in for his younger son Josh, who was the manager and chief engineer of the local short-line railroad as well as being involved with the kennel. Tricia had known that, and Josh had offered a ride on a railroad engine sometime when the chance arose. Since some of the people present had talked her into running a dogsled occasionally, she wasn't too sure if she wanted to get pulled into that, too.
Tricia had also met Henry's parents, Mike and Kirsten, although she hadn't seen a lot of them. They were respectively the editor and publisher of the Record-Herald, and had seemed like pretty nice people for the little she had gotten to know them.
"It's really strange to see Henry at one of these things," Kirsten admitted as they got to talking. "He's been here so little in the last ten years or so, and never for Christmas. Now that he's here we still don't have everyone home, since Susan is in China. Henry could never get Cindy to come up for the holidays, and I know it bothered him some too. But to see him show up with you, well, it just tells me the bad days are getting over with for him."
Tricia didn't know how much of the real Cindy story Henry had told his parents, so she decided she'd better not say much about it, although she at least had to acknowledge that she knew about her. "I'm just glad he invited me," she replied. "The alternative would have been to sit at home alone. My turkey dinner would most likely have come out of a tray."
"Well, I'm glad there was no need for that. You may be a stranger here, but there's several ways in which you're more than welcome to be with us."
One of the highlights of the day was meeting Candice's younger son, Cody, and his girlfriend or whatever she was, Janice. Cody was a good-looking, quiet, intense young man who was planning on being both a police officer and a lawyer; in fact, he already was the former, having completed police academy over the summer, and working occasionally as a part-time officer near his college. Janice was no less intense; she was already an EMT, and was working on becoming a nurse. She anticipated that she would have her LPN certificate by summer, and didn't plan on stopping there. That gave Janice and Tricia a certain commonality of interests. Tricia floated the nurse practitioner possibility in front of her, although not anywhere near as publicly as she had done with Heather at Thanksgiving. Janice had several penetrating and well-stated questions on the subject, which revealed that she'd already been giving the idea a little consideration.
The thing Tricia noticed most about the young couple was what several people had commented: for not being married, they were the most married-looking young couple she could imagine. They weren't kissy and huggy like most kids at that age would be; they just had an easy familiarity with each other that showed they were very close and very much in tune with each other. They were quiet and reserved, and rather mature-acting despite their age. It was hard to think of them as Tricia knew they were, or at least had been: a rape victim and a young man who happened to be a deadly shot and who had used his skill to kill two men to rescue her; there was no sign of it. Whatever had happened, they'd managed to put those bad days behind them, and that showed a lot of courage and strength of character. Those two kids, she was sure, were going to go far and make some waves on the way there.
The dinner, of course, was expansive. The group filled the large living room of the fairly new house, and the table was groaning with food, easily twice what the people present could have possibly eaten. Realistically, this was a little livelier group than the people at Heather's; that one had been two families that didn't know each other very well. This was just one big, happy group that happened to share a lot of common interests and family ties. But it was very nice that they included Tricia as part of the group, just as if she'd been with them for years.
After everyone was stuffed to the gills and the table was cleared and parts of it put away, the group gathered around a large Christmas tree in the living room. Even that was a little special, Tricia had been told; it had come from a pine planting out in the woods somewhere, and it was a family tradition to go out with a dogsled to find it and cut it.
While the core families had exchanged gifts among themselves earlier, there were still gifts to hand out between the families, and Michelle --Josh and Tiffany's oldest child – was pressed into service to dig out the gifts from under the tree and deliver them to people around the room. Tricia was surprised to get more than one gift – in fact several! One of the gifts proved to be the next two books in the Kolombanara series, from Mike and Kirsten; they had to have gotten the idea from Henry.
Another gift that amused Tricia more than a little was a nice pair of high-tech insulated gloves; the package was marked, "To Dr. York, From Snyder, with loads of thanks." She grinned at the group, and said, "Josh, Tiffany, Candice, or whoever, give him a nice dog treat and tell him it's from me. How's he doing, anyway?"
"Just fine," Tiffany told her. "Being laid up like that knocked him out of the training cycle for this year, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him go to Alaska next year. I don't know if anyone's told you, but when the vet took out his stitches and looked him over, he said you'd done a neater job on Snyder than he would have."
"Thank him for the compliment when you see him," she smiled. "But even though he was a dog, I couldn't do less than my best for him." A little to her surprise, that set off a brief round of applause.
"Dr. York," Mike said as it died down – it was a little surprising since he'd been calling her by her first name all day – "with that attitude, you're going to be a major asset to the community. All of us are very glad you're in town and here with us today, not just Snyder."
Henry was very pleased with the ski jacket she'd given him. "You shouldn't have done it," he said. "It had to be expensive, but I really needed it."
"It's not a big deal," she said. "You deserve it for introducing me to this group, if nothing else."
Still, Tricia was surprised a few minutes later when Michelle brought her a large package, marked "from Henry." She opened it and found a heavy winter parka, much heavier than anything she owned up till now. There had been some cold days when the jacket she'd used in Madison and Milwaukee just hadn't been up to the job, and a warmer one was on her "to-get" list, even if she hadn't gotten around to it. "Henry, you shouldn't have!" she cried. "It had to have been very expensive."
"It really wasn't my idea," he shrugged. "Candice suggested it. She said she thought the one you'd been wearing out to the dog barn looked a little on the light side for Spearfish Lake."
"Candice, I should have known," Tricia grinned. "You worked both sides of the street on that one, didn't you?"
"Hey, what with running Spearfish Lake Outfitters for all practical purposes and being related to this crowd, I learned a long time ago to keep my mouth shut about what people got for Christmas gifts."
"Well, that's smart of you," she grinned, "and Henry, it was very sweet of you, and I'm sure I'll be using it."
The gift giving went on for a long time, and after that there was still a lot of standing around, sitting around, and socializing. Eventually there was a buffet to deal with some of the leftovers, and there were still canisters and pans of this and that for both Henry and Tricia to take back home when they finally left.
"Henry," she said as they were driving down the road well after dark, "that was the nicest Christmas I ever had. I mean, ever. I haven't had much of anything to celebrate the holidays for, or anyone to celebrate it with, since my mother died. Even back then it was a little low-key, since there was never much money to do it up like some people did it, and it was only my mother and me anyway, ever since I was very little. To walk into such a picture-perfect holiday like this was way beyond the realm of imagination. I mean, this was like it was lifted directly from a Christmas card."
"I sort of knew that," he said. "And I'm glad you enjoyed it. But don't think it was any less heartwarming for me. It's been years since I've had that kind of a big and wonderful family atmosphere at Christmas."
"Your mother said that you and Cindy never made it up here for the holidays."
"It wasn't that I didn't want to come, but Cindy never wanted to," he sighed. "And realistically, I understood why. She'd never been able to experience a big deal like this was today, much like you, I guess. And she also had that rabid determination she wasn't going to come up here. I mostly went along with her to keep peace in the household. Letting her control me like that was a dumb-ass thing for me to do, and there were plenty of times I should just have left her behind and come up by myself, but I never wanted to admit to my family that things were that bleak between us. Believe me, Tricia, having you with me today was like being in a different world, in more ways than one. I guess I hadn't realized quite what I'd been missing until today."
"I hadn't either. I guess I always was a little jealous of people who could enjoy warm family holidays while I had to be by myself. I sure don't feel that way this year, so thank you again."
They talked a little about things that had happened during the day until they got back to the duplex. Once again, Henry parked in his garage, and they had to go inside through his kitchen, this time carrying gifts like Henry's ski jacket and her parka and gloves, along with some of the leftover food; in fact, it took two trips to just get it all inside. Once they got things organized a little, they carried full armloads of the take to her side of the wall. He helped put it away.
"Guess I'd better be going," he said. "It's been a long day, but a great one. Thanks for being with me, Tricia."
"No, thank you for taking me," she said, taking him in her arms. The kiss went on a long time, longer and deeper than they ever had shared before, and it was considerably more powerful – and it carried a power with it that Tricia had scarcely been aware of until now.
The truth was that while Peppermint Patty had had sex with a number of men Tricia didn't even want to think about, the number of lip-to-lip kisses she'd had at the Redlite Ranch could have been counted on one hand with fingers left over. One of those times had been to kiss Danny goodbye when she thought she'd never see him again. Patty hadn't been the only girl to feel that way; it was common, and she'd understood it implicitly. The sex was only sex, after all. Kissing was an intimacy that went to that deeper need even a hardened prostitute did not easily share.
Now, standing in her living room with Henry's arms around her, Tricia thought she began to understand the power in a kiss. It was more, much more, than she'd ever imagined.
Eventually they pulled their lips apart, and Tricia's world was whirling at a speed she hadn't imagined. In a soft voice, she said, "Henry, if you'd like, we could . . . "
"Maybe we better not right now," he said, as if he were reading her thoughts. "But maybe some other time. Will that be all right?"
"Yeah, maybe we better not right now," she agreed sadly, although parts of her were screaming with frustration at the thought. "Some other time, maybe."
"That might be fine when the time comes," he told her. "Would you like to do something tomorrow? The weather should be decent. We could go out and run some dogs, or do some skiing."
"Maybe later," she said. "I've got to run in to the office and do a couple things first."
"I thought you were closed tomorrow."
"Yes, but I still have things to do."
She did. The first thing in the morning, even before the office would normally be open, she was out there. She was just glad the office was closed, because she didn't want Molly or Heather to see her setting up a birth control injection. She hadn't bothered with it for a long time since the prospects of the need for it had been so slim. Though it might not happen for a while, or might not happen at all, the possible need for it seemed greater than it had been in years.

Bledsoe, Griffin help Clippers edge NuggetsMar 6, 2011 - 6:58 AM Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - Eric Bledsoe scored 20 points off the bench and Blake Griffin finished one assist shy of his first triple-double, leading the Los Angeles Clippers to a 100-94 victory over the Denver Nuggets.
Griffin had 18 points, 12 rebounds and a career-high nine assists as the Clippers won for the second time in a row on the heels of a five-game losing streak.
Nene had a double-double before halftime for Denver and finished with 25 points and 14 rebounds, but the Nuggets shot just 39 percent and fell to 5-2 since the Carmelo Anthony trade.
Both teams lost guards to injury in the second quarter.
Clippers leading scorer Eric Gordon, in just his second game back after missing 18, re-injured his right wrist after being fouled by Timofey Mozgov with 5:08 left in the second quarter.
Gordon, who couldn't take his foul shots, said afterward that nothing was broken.
"It's aggravated," he said. "It's going to take some time."
Denver's Arron Afflalo missed the second half with a strained hamstring.
The Nuggets trailed by as many as 16 points in the game and were down as many as 13 in the fourth quarter. Still, they were within striking distance late.
LA led 97-92 when, after a scramble, Mo Williams missed a three-pointer from the top of the arc. Denver got the rebound with 15 seconds left, but Bledsoe stole the ball back, leading to a pair of free throws that sealed it.
"I just tried to play my minutes," said Bledsoe. "I just tried to shoot the ball when I was open and be aggressive."
Nuggets head coach George Karl said he couldn't complain with how hard his team played in coming back from several large deficits. They just couldn't make it all the way back.
"We fought back in that game four or five times," said Karl. "But when Arron went down, we needed someone to seize the opportunity and we just never shot well from the perimeter and didn't get to the free throw line the way we do."
Denver gave up a big run in the first quarter and trailed 30-23 entering the second. The Clippers poured it on, going ahead by as many 16 before halftime before taking a 48-38 lead into the break.
Nene tallied 11 points and 11 rebounds in the first half for the Nuggets, but Griffin poured in 12 for the Clippers and new teammate Williams scored nine of his 17 points in the half.
"LA has some great weapons," said Karl, whose team trailed 71-65 after three quarters.
Game Notes
The Nuggets are 1-1 on a three-game road trip that ends next Thursday in Phoenix...The Clippers had snapped a four-game skid to Denver with a 106-93 win at Staples Center on January 5.

Make no mistake, you bought your Murano because you understood you would be getting a variety of features and options and driver satisfaction both impeccably combined into one automobile. While it may not be difficult to buy replacement parts for Nissan vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the absolute best are required to maintain your automobile. Nissan automobile owners have grown accustomed to a certain level of best-in-class value when driving their Murano around town. You bought your Murano because its fuel efficiency and economical pricing struck a chord inside you; so why would you settle for second rate when it comes to the highest quality auto parts?
If we never had to turn, then there would be no need for a steering wheel. That would take all the pleasure out of driving for Nissan Murano drivers, and that would guarantee that tie rods weren't necessary. Your vehicle?s tie rod ends connect the center link or the steering rack to the .10, allowing the wheels to pivot and turn. A broken Nissan Murano tie rod means your steering is compromised and you will not be able to drive safely.
When your Nissan needs a top quality replacement Tie Rod, there's no need to waste time looking anywhere other than the authority, Car Parts Discount.
