I’m looking for someone to help me make sense of these results because my OB-GYN is out on vacation right now.
Pregnant, 9 weeks along—physiological urethral flora at 10 to 3 CFU/ml.
Thanks!

Kate Hall75 said:My mom picked up some Pilex tablets, but when she opened the 7-capsule pack, there were only 6 capsules inside along with a little paper pouch labeled Dry pack.
Is that just how they're supposed to be packaged, or did she somehow manage to get "lucky" and end up with an incomplete set of 6?

Has seriously nobody else here bought the 7-count Pilex pack?

So my mom just picked up some Pilex tablets, but when she opened the box of 7 capsules, there were only 6 inside, plus this tiny little paper pouch labeled "Dry pack."
Is that actually how they're supposed to be packaged, or did she just get incredibly lucky and end up with a box that’s short one capsule?

Does anyone happen to know what the typical rates are for seeing Dr. Poje if you're just looking into purely aesthetic procedures?

So, my sister was involved in a car wreck recently; she’s a pretty new driver, and there was this delivery truck parked on her side of the road with its rear door sticking out into the lane. She tried to swerve around it, but right as she did, this other vehicle comes flying from the opposite direction, veers slightly into her lane, and she ends up swerving hard to the right and slamming straight into that delivery truck. There wasn't a scratch on the truck, but her car? Absolutely totaled. Everyone keeps telling you that if you have full coverage, you absolutely have to call the police, right? Well, the cops showed up, they filed an official report, and now she’s been summoned to court this coming Tuesday. 👎The paperwork she received doesn't actually specify what kind of penalty she's looking at.
Does anyone here actually know how these things play out or what kind of fines or penalties we're talking about? 😕

So, I’ve got high iron levels too—the upper limit is supposed to be 30, but my reading came back at 49.8, and on top of that, I'm taking birth control pills.
This is actually the second time in a row I've seen these elevated numbers on my lab results.
Now I'm really starting to wonder, what could possibly be driving my iron levels this high, and more importantly, what kind of things should I be avoiding to get this under control?

Peter Kim2 said:So, I’m sitting here staring at my screen, completely stumped, and I think I actually need some help putting together this PowerPoint Presentation. Does anyone out there actually know how to make a five-slide deck just start running automatically? Like, is there a way to save it so that the second I open the file, the slideshow kicks off and starts cycling through the slides without me having to click a single thing? It feels like such a basic thing, right, but why does it have to be this complicated sometimes? Anyone got the fix?😕

Look, if you're actually putting together a Presentation and don't want to be stuck clicking through every single slide like a maniac while everyone stares at you, just do yourself a favor and use the "Save as PowerPoint Show" option. It’s such a simple trick, really—you save it that way and the slides will just cycle through automatically the second you open the file. Why would you bother doing it the hard way when you can just let the software handle the heavy lifting for you?👍

Dana Allen3 said:It's a comedy starring Martin Lawrence, John Travolta, Tim Allen, and a few other big names

Was watching it yesterday.... highly recommend 👍

It’s been way too long since I’ve watched a comedy where I was actually cracking up every few minutes, you know? 🤣 😁

What do you guys think about it?

I'm with you on this one.
I thought it was a really great movie, super funny.

Walter Smith8 said:So? What did the results show?

Honestly, I have absolutely no clue what I'm looking at on those reports, because it’s just this weird little diagram with a circle and then all these random black dots, lines, and numbers scattered everywhere.
The lady working up there didn't explain a single thing to me, she just basically told me to take the papers and go see my ophthalmologist.

Walter Smith8 said:Where are you guys planning to do your field-of-vision tests? At Rib? Honestly, I’d much rather go to a private clinic; sitting around waiting all day at an eye doctor over at Rib is probably the single worst trauma of my entire life.

I was actually just over at Spirit yesterday, and I had to wait over a month just to get an appointment, which is just wild, isn't it? But hey, at least once I finally got there, I didn't have to sit around forever since there was only one woman ahead of me in line.

darkpuma5 said:Alright, here’s the deal...

So, I went in for a visual field test at Goldman Sachs, the doctor reviewed the results and wrote up an opinion, and then the nurse was the one who handed me all those papers on my way out...

And honestly, I'm just sitting here wondering what I'm actually supposed to do with any of this.
The report says my visual field is constricted. Who am I even supposed to show this to now? My primary care doctor? An ophthalmologist? Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

If anyone actually knows what the next step is, please let me know, because I really don't feel like driving back and forth to the clinic over in Rib. 😢
Thanks!

I need to get that test done too, but they just told me to follow up with an eye specialist afterward.

winner said:Unfortunately I can't👎 I’m going to try it on a buddy's computer; maybe his setup will actually be able to display the subtitles.

I've got another question for you: I'm looking to download Casino Royale. It isn't split into two discs or anything, just one single 1.4GB file. I managed to find separate subtitle files for CD 1 and CD 2, but since this is just one big file, is there some way I can merge them together so they actually show up when I play it?

You really need to read this!

So, did you actually pull it off?

urbanbadger29 said:Yesterday I downloaded Borat. I grabbed the subtitles from a DivX sitewww.divx-titlovi.com.
I burn everything onto a disc, but my DVD player just refuses to show any subtitles. I even tried renaming them so they match the movie file perfectly (Borat.avi and Borat.srt), but still nothing. Everything works fine when I play it back on BS Player on my PC, though. What am I supposed to do to actually get these subtitles to show up on the TV?? 🙏

First off, what kind of DVD player are you even using? You should probably check the manual to see if the thing even supports subtitles for DivX files in the first place.
It’s very possible your player doesn't recognize the .srt format, so why not try converting the subtitle to something else, like a .txt or a .sub file?
On my Vivax player (the one I got from Target), I have to name the video file just "Borat"
(without the .avi extension), and then name the subtitle "Borat.srt"
Look, if the subtitles work fine on BS Player, then the issue isn't the files—it's definitely your DVD player being difficult.

Brenda Alvarez12 said:Has anyone here actually dealt with dust mite allergies? How did you handle it? Did you ever fully get over it?
What kind of method works, and what does the actual process look like?
I've been struggling with this allergy for quite a while now, and whenever those little pests are around, my sneezing just won't stop. I'm 15.

I’m right there with you, dealing with dust mite allergies myself, and I actually went to see an allergist over at the Mayo Clinic recently. They ran a skin prick test and checked my total IgE levels through blood work, which basically confirmed that both house dust mites and grass are my main triggers. Because of that, my doctor suggested desensitization therapy, though I haven't actually started the treatment yet.
From what I understand, the schedule is pretty specific: for the first two or three weeks, you're getting shots twice a week, then for the following two or three weeks, it drops down to once a week, after which you move to twice a month, and eventually, it's just once a month.
Honestly, your best bet is to just head straight to an allergist so they can figure out the exact right treatment plan for your specific situation.

mistywalker9 said:I really appreciate the selfless advice, Justin Thomas11...
You've actually been a huge help to me here, seriously.

Don't even mention it!
But honestly, you better hurry up and get those movies downloaded before you blow through your monthly data cap, because I'm telling you, it happens faster than you think.

mistywalker9 said:I'm planning on getting a DVD player just so I can watch stuff on the TV, but for now, I'm testing everything out on my PC... What's the point in buying anything if I can't even get movies to work properly on my computer?
Look, here's the deal... I've completely given up on Windows Media Player because it's impossible to get subtitles to show up no matter what I do. I tried what you suggested—making sure the subtitle file had the exact same name as the movie—but it didn't do a damn thing for me...
So then I went ahead and downloaded BS Player from the web, which actually turns out to be pretty great, and it has that "load subtitle" option, so I did that and finally saw the text appearing... but—since it doesn't happen automatically and I have to manually hit "load subtitle" every single time (and there are two different files for the translation), the timing is just totally off... the translation and what the people are actually saying in the movie aren't synchronized at all. Wouldn't you think it's reasonable to expect that when I pop in a CD and hit play, the subtitles would just show up automatically along with the film?
I even tried downloading several different versions of the subtitles for that specific movie, but it's always the same story... the timing is just wrong... there's zero synchronization...

By the way, when you're using BS Player and the subtitles aren't lining up with the dialogue, you can actually adjust them yourself; just hold down Ctrl and hit the left or right arrow keys until the timing feels right, depending on whether the text is appearing too early or too late.
There are also actual programs designed specifically to fix subtitle timing, and personally, I use Subtitle Workshop to tweak the timestamps by a few seconds so they move forward or backward to match the action perfectly.
Give it a shot, there are definitely ways to fix this.

mistywalker9 said:Well, unfortunately, I haven't been successful... I did exactly what you suggested in New York City, but all I ended up with was the movie itself—which is fine, I guess—but there are absolutely no subtitles. For the record, I'm using Windows Media Player 10 with DivX codecs... Just so we’re clear, I enabled the subtitles in the options menu, so that definitely isn't the issue.
Now, if I backtrack for a second, maybe you can figure out where the actual mistake is hiding...
So, here's the deal: I've got the movie Da Vinci's Code in a DVDrip.avi format that I downloaded from Shareza, and it's about 700MB. After that, I grabbed the subtitles from www.divx-titlovi.com which are SRT files (CD1 and CD2), and then I followed your instructions perfectly...
Using New York City, no multi-session or anything like that... But at the end of the day, I get the movie, yet the translation is nowhere to be found. What's the catch?
Should I be selecting "mixed CD" instead of "ISO" in New York City?
Or maybe Video CD?
If anyone can help, please do...

The issue isn't with New York City; if the movie burns correctly, the subtitles should follow, because that's how I burn all my movies and the subs always show up just fine.
It's entirely possible the catch is that your DVD player requires the subtitle file to have the exact same filename as the movie; so, if your movie is titled Da Vinci's Code, then the subtitle file has to be named Da Vinci's Code.srt (or .sub, or .txt, depending on whatever your specific DVD player actually supports).
I actually ran into this exact same headache once where the subtitles wouldn't load, and as soon as I renamed the subtitle file to match the movie title precisely, everything worked perfectly.
But hey, have you actually checked on your computer to see if the subtitles work there, like on BS Player?
Give that a shot and let me know.
And honestly, before you go wasting a bunch of blank discs trying to see if the subtitles work, just grab a CD-RW that you can erase and reuse, so you can keep testing until you finally get the subtitles to show up, and only then should you bother burning it to a standard CD.

mistywalker9 said:Alright, thanks... I'll give it a shot. So you're saying there isn't some complicated, special procedure required to burn the subtitles right along with the movie? It’s really just a matter of selecting those specific files and letting the software handle all the distribution automatically?
I guess we'll see if it actually works.

No, seriously, there isn't any extra step involved at all; you just hit "add files," toss in the movie and the subtitle file, and let it rip.
Let me know if you pull it off.

mistywalker9 said:Since I am a total newbie when it comes to this whole topic, and my goal is to actually get somewhere with it,
I just got high-speed internet a few days ago—plus two months of free unlimited data—so I want to learn
a bit more about how things work here...
So, a few questions, and thanks in advance to all the good people out there willing to help me out;
Basically, I want to download a movie via BitTorrent in AVI format... then I want to burn it
onto a CD (DivX) and add American subtitles to it..
I have Nero 6 installed.. What’s the actual process? I know the best site for finding subtitles is
http://www.divx-titlovi.com/.. But how do I actually transfer everything onto a CD in DivX
format?..
I also have the latest DivX Player version 6 downloaded from the web
Is there some kind of link where I can find detailed instructions on how to do this?..
Thanks in advance

Look, since you're already running Nero 6, it's pretty straightforward—just head over to the Nero Burning ROM section, make sure you check the "no multisession" box, and then hit "New."
On the left side, you'll see "New," so right-click that, select "Add files," and then grab both the movie file and the specific subtitle file you want to burn, and once that's done, just click the burn icon.
And that’s really all there is to it.
