I already have a PC and cable modem (Charter). I just bought a laptop. Can I hook up a wireless router directly to the modem to provide wireless access for my laptop… or do I still have to have a hardline from the router to my old PC?

Strep throat is a disease caused by Group A streptococci bacteria. It is very important to treat this disease, because, there are cases when it causes arthritis or heart problems.

When the doctor founds out that the patient has strep throat, he will prescribe antibiotics. This medicines help the immune system to get rid of the bacteria. Usually, the treatment lasts for ten days, and it was seen that after 24 hours have passed since you started the treatment, you will feel much better, and you are no longer contagious. But, it is very important to continue the treatment until the 10-days period is over, because the remaining bacteria can develop resistance, and a worse infection can occur.

It is known that strep throat is very contagious. If someone from the school, one of your friends or a member of the family has strep throat, there is a chance that you may get that too. If you are near a person that has strep and that person sneezes or blows his nose, the bacteria may spread to you.

It is important not to share the same spoons, forks, towels, and to wash your hands as often as possible. You can’t avoid bacteria, but you can lower the chances to develop a sore throat.

If you go to the doctor, first he will look in your mouth to see which is the situation of your throat and tonsils. The throat may be red and the tonsils swollen and covered with white or yellow spots. It is also possible to appear spots on the roof of your mouth.

To determine if there is a strep throat, the doctor will perform a rapid strep test.

He will rub a cotton swab over the back of your throat, and after that, in less than an hour, if the test turns to be positive, he will know it is dealing with a strep throat. But, the test may be negative, and then, in order to be sure if there is or not a strep throat, he will do a test called throat culture. It takes about 2 days that test to be ready.

If the doctor founds that you have a strep throat, he will give you antibiotics. Usually, the most prescribed antibiotic is a form of penicillin. It is important to finish the treatment, even if you start feeling better.

In adittion, you can take acetaminophen to get rid of pain, fever and aches, and have soothing drinks, but you should avoid spicy and acidic foods.

In order to avoid spreading the bacteria, it is important to stay at home the first 24 hours after you started antibiotic treatment.

There are a few things you can do in order to prevent strep throat if someone in your house has it, but it is important to know that there does not exist a solution to avoid the infection, you can only reduce the chances of getting it.

You should keep sores and cuts clean, wash your hands regularly and make sure that the person with strep covers his mouth when sneezing or coughing.

Theresa Twogood asked:


Well it has happened again this year, just when we thought we were in the clear and had made it through the cold and flu season unscathed, we get hit with a nasty one. There are a lot of us that got caught this year according to Doctors. The truly amazing thing is that Doctor’s have said that this bug is not only nasty but an intelligent little bug. This bug waited until our flu shots were least effective, come the end of winter, the beginning of spring, you know like right now! Thankfully it wasn’t as bad as it could have been but it was nasty enough for me just the same. During my days of being down and out I had the time to think and was reminded of a few astonishing insights and I decided to share them with you.

Most, if not all, adults know the reason for colds and flu’s in God’s great big plan. Most of us just forget why from time to time and are in need of reminding. When we are down and out, feeling as terrible and despicable as possible we have the time to ponder things. Thankfully, we do ponder and don’t only do the dopey things like reminding our spouses of which hymns we want at our funeral. While pondering a moment of bright shining truth comes piercing into our sick rooms and helps us to remember why these things happen. In God’s merciful and all knowing ways, He makes us stronger and healthier through the reverse or complete opposite of what we humans would do if we could or if we were in command of things. This mercifulness that God uses is called, progressive exposure, a little exposure at a time so our immune systems can figure a way to combat the new neighbor.

In recent years, Doctors have discovered a way of telling which patients are ‘germ-a-phoebes’ like me. We ‘germ-a-phoebes’ are the ones always picking up every little germ and bug that comes to town. See the problem is that we ‘germ-a-phoebes’ wash our hands and environments with antibacterial soaps as well as other sanitizers a million times a day. In our human minds it makes sense to attempt to avoid germs and viruses by doing whatever to avoid any exposure. However, in God’s plan it is just the opposite. Through small and regular exposures we build up immunities to most bugs and viruses until we aren’t bothered by them and are ready for new bigger ones. Does this mean we should all become slobs and never wash our hands, I don’t think so and I hope not because I still have a ton of antibacterial soap left in the cabinet! However, we need to understand that over doing things with the sanitizers and antibacterial soaps actually end up hurting us more than helping. We need small amounts of exposure or progressive exposure over time to viruses and various bugs to remain over all healthy and strong.

Because God is all knowing and all seeing and exists out of our time and space it is easy for Him to see how a planned progressive exposure over a period of time, rather than complete avoidance will better prepare us for the really big bugs that come along. I can only imagine that it is a bit easier to start at the end or to see the end and then to look back in retrospect in order to truly understand all this. We however, the sick down and out ones, can’t always see it as a benefit and can’t imagine a worst bug or a worst way of feeling than the present.

This reminds me of when parents of olden days used to purposely exposure their children to other children with chickenpoxes because it was known and believed to be better to have chickenpox’s as a child rather then shingles as an adult. Now freeze frame for a moment and ask the child suffering with chickenpoxes if this makes any sense to them and they would unsurprisingly say, no way! Then tell them that their loving parent arranged for them to receive this sickness, purposely and deliberately, because they love them, again the child wouldn’t understand or even agree to the ‘loving bit’ because of such actions. It only make sense in the over all ‘big picture’ of things and not in the ‘heat of the moment’!

So as I was pondering and remembering these points I wanted to share with you, I started to wonder what else or what other things makes sense and are for our good in the big picture of things? What things while in the heat of the moment don’t make sense or convey God’s love for us? Then it hit me, problem and troubles of everyday life fall into the very same category. Everyone’s problems are the worst to them and nobody else’s could even come close to theirs! When we were teenagers, we had teenagers’ problems and they were as big and nasty as they could possibly be. We some how and in some way worked through them and moved on to more adult problems to solve when they came around. If we as adults would remember back to our teenage years and the problems of then, most of us would sarcastically say, ‘if only my problems would be that simple today… I’d be happy’! Right? I know I’ve said that before myself. Yes, it may be true in one way; however, it isn’t correct in the big picture of things. We need childhood problems to be able to handle teenage problems. We needed teenaged problems to be equipped to handle adult problems and so on and so on until old age ending with our earthly death. I even know a few grandparents who would say the ‘if that was all I had to deal with…’statement in comparison to typical parenting troubles and/or problems. Again, its progressive exposure and not avoidance or dealing with all of it at one time that leads to solutions for our betterment in the ‘big picture’ of things.

I think we Christians could also use our understanding of progressive exposure to explain the age old question and statement; “prove to me that there is a God and secondly, prove His love for me”! With an understanding of progressive exposure we can give another ‘real’ insightfulness to the question. It could go something like this. “It only makes sense to someone not in the heat of the moment to prescribe a viable plan of attack of progressive exposure to make one stronger by affording our bodies the opportunity to develop immunities. Only someone not affected by the problems of the moment can understand and see a path through troubles and problems as a way to make one strong enough and understanding enough for what is to come. Only God could have designed things to work in this way. He isn’t bound by time and space and therefore can see the end and look back to the beginning in retrospect to see the proper course of action. If it were left up to us humans, we while in the heat of the moment, would rather run and hide rather than except a small amount of suffering in order to prevent serious or long lasting and more severe suffering. Without God and His mercy we humans would run around avoiding everything until we were struck by some infantile virus or by an elementary problem of right and wrong and either and/or both would end up killing us! Only God designs things to work in the opposite of what we humans would do.

Lastly, while we are fighting the fight of the moment, whether problems or bugs, we need to thank God for His boundless mercy and love of not throwing it all at us at one time. We humans if we are completely honest would have to admit, it’s a truly viable plan of attack that only makes sense in the big picture of things. Thank God for His mercy and ability to work His miracles of the ‘big picture’ into each and every one of our ‘heat of the moments’ for our own good. What better way is there to explain ‘love’ than to show a fore-thought of progressive exposure for ones betterment?

The best way to deal with boils is to prevent them occurring. Avoid getting tired and run down and make sure you eat a healthy, balanced diet. Drink plenty of water (around two litres per day), don’t drink too much alcohol and take some exercise.

Your doctor may drain a large boil or carbuncle by making a small incision in the tip. This relieves pain, speeds recovery and helps lessen scarring. Deep infections that can’t be completely cleared may be covered with sterile gauze so that pus can continue to drain. Sometimes your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to help heal severe or recurrent infections.

A skin boil is also called a skin abscess. The simplest definition of this term is a severe infection deep in the skin. Generally a boil generally begins as a tender area of skin that may become red in time.

The term boils on the buttocks refers to a Pilonidal cyst. This actually occurs the area of the buttocks that forms a crease. The cysts may begin as a tiny area where the skin follicles originate. The irritation will grow and become firm over time, causing severe pain. It will become so painful that it may be impossible for a person to sit down. This may be the result of long trips or extended periods of time of sitting.

If you are prone to skin boils, there are measures that you can take to prevent boils from developing: Washing your skin with antibacterial soap will prevent bacteria from building up and infecting your pores. The regular use of an abrasive brush (such as a loufa) often helps. It will help to break up oil plugs that build up around hair follicles.

Apply warm compresses, and soak the boil in warm water. This will decrease the pain and help draw the pus to the surface. Once the boil comes to a head, it will burst with repeated soakings. This usually occurs within five to seven days of its appearance. You can make a warm compress by soaking a wash cloth in warm water and squeezing out the excess moisture.

Patient education is an important part of the treatment of boils and carbuncles. Patients need to be warned against picking at or squeezing boils because of the danger of spreading the infection into other parts of the skin or bloodstream. It is especially important to avoid squeezing boils around the mouth or nose because infections in these areas can be carried to the brain. Patients should also be advised about keeping the skin clean, washing their hands carefully before and after touching the boil or carbuncle, avoiding the use of greasy cosmetics or creams, and keeping their towels and washcloths separate from those of other family members. Some doctors may recommend an antiseptic soap or gel for washing the infected areas

Milk cream is beneficial in the treatment of boils. One teaspoon of milk cream, mixed with half a tea spoon of vinegar, and a pinch of turmeric powder, makes an excellent poultice. It helps in ripening the blood boils and in their healing without allowing them to become septic.

If you think the only good roach is a dead roach, you’re wrong. For even dead roaches can cause harm in ways you’ve probably never imagined.
Scientists say the dead roach’s eggs, shell, blood and digestive enzymes can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, particularly asthmatics. These potential allergens can remain in the environment long after the roach has died.
Brian Key, chief of allergy and clinical immunology at the University of Kentucky, said about 60 percent of asthmatics are allergic to roaches. The usual victims are laboratory workers, students and field workers who are frequently exposed to roaches dead or otherwise, according to Dr. Francois Haas and Sheila Sperber Haas in “The Essential Asthma Handbook.”
“A report by the US Agricultural Department cited studies which show that millions of people are allergic to cockroaches. Reactions can range from a runny nose and skin irritation to difficulty in breathing, shock, and in extreme cases, even death,” said the editors of “Health Alert”, a publication of the Health Action Information Network.
To crack down on roaches, here are some suggestions from “Insect and Rodent Control Through Environmental Management: A Community Program” published by the World Health Organization (WHO):
Avoid dampness within the house, especially in the kitchen and near water pipes and sinks. Repair leaking faucets, make sure the drainage is working, and avoid spilling water.
Keep the house clean and tidy. Clothes and other household articles should not be kept on the floor.
Store food in close containers or keep it inside closed cupboards. Household refuse should be placed in closed containers and disposed of properly.
Improvements inside the house can eliminate the hiding places of roaches. Plug cracks and crevices in walls and floors.
Keep yards and vacant lots clean. Articles which are no longer used should not he placed there.
Make adequate arrangements for both liquid and solid waste disposal in the community.
Aside from this, the following measures are recommended by “Consumer Reports”:
Remove clutter – newspapers, piles of boxes, and so on from areas where you’ve seen roaches.
Outside, trim bushes near air vents to keep roaches from getting into the house.
Don’t leave pet food out for long. (Next: Bloodsucking bugs.)

How to do

allyson asked:


Seems pretty simple but this is my first time setting up a Linksys wireless router and my question is…..is it simple to do really? I have 2 eternet cords, one that the router came with which is pretty short and the one going into my desktop computer, do I need another ethernet cord? So here’s how I think it would be set up, I have comcast cable and I figure just plug the blue ethernet from the cable modem into the router and just plug the ethernet from the computer into the router. It shows on the cd that you have to unplug the ethernet from back of the desktop and plug it into the router and then plug the blue ethernet that came with the router into the computer. Why couldn’t I just leave the other ethernet plugged into the computer and then just plug the other end into the router, then plug the blue one from the modem to the router? CONFUSED!!!! Please help!!!! I’m usually pretty good with hooking thing’s up but don’t want to screw anything up. Thanks to all who can help!!!
