Author: what is streptococcus b?
Gerry,
Your Mom (and your Pediatrician) used to call it a “Staph Infection”.
A Cat biting you might cause a Staph Infection. Viruses are able to enter your blood stream through the cats puncture. This would be different than cutting yourself on say a piece of glass. There may be germs on the glass, but probably not the bacteria that causes Strep.
Don’t confuse this with the bacteria that causes “Strep Throat”, while the bacteria are related the only thing they have in common is the way they attack your body.
A Strep B infection will involve swelling ( a lot! ) and typically an extremely warm area where the infection is.

Do you know someone who can remove carpet glue from tile floors?
Hey Victoria,
I’m am usually with “jit” time and time again. Try her method, but use a hairdryer first (not at the same time – You don’t want to start the WD-40 on fire!), Soften the glue and use the WD-40 to keep it from re-adhering to your tile.
They also sell a product called “Goo be Gone”, but I would follow the same instructions regarding heating it up first.
Everyone is forgetting that the glue now is HARD. It’s like Liquid Nails. On a normal hard surface, you could take this of with a scraper, but on a shiny tile, you will see the scratch marks.
The reason I mention this, is that you will find few firms that will do the work for you. They may do it but they will make you sign a liability form that excuses them due to the scratching of the tiles.
If you call a new home builder in your area, they employ firms that do this work all the time. Ask them what “New Home Prep” company that they use. New home buyers find things wrong all the time and these companies know how to fix most things — Sadly, alot of the builders that you call will have their own In-House fix-it guys.
Good Luck,

Where in San Diego to sell china, crystal?
Hey Helen,
You have a few choices:
CONSIGNMENT SHOPS: You will find a lot up on Adams Avenue in the Normal Heights/Kensington area. Also, along Newport Ave in Ocean Beach. There are others in Lemon Grove/La Mesa as well as a few in Pacific Beach. Look for either Consignment Shops or Antique Dealers.
If you are looking to sell things outright. Call first and ask if the appraiser is there that can make the deal on the spot.
KOBEY’S SWAP MEET: You will have to get your own permit from the folks at Kobey’s and be there in person to sell your wares.
E-BAY: I am amazed at the items that they are able to sell on E-Bay. You don’t have to be “There” to sell things. You can set minimum prices ahead of time and you can sell things with “Shipping added”.
If they are new or from a certain period, you can also see if there is a boutique that would act as a compliment to your glassware and see if they will let you set-up a display — keeping in mind that you may have to have your own display cases.
Hope I was able to help,

America has not converted to the metric system…WHY?
Hey Lexie,
COST! If you were in school during the 1970’s, the U.S. Government issued the directive that all students needed to be trained in the Metric System. However, many larger industries cited cost.
To re-tool industry (Lumber, Steel, Automotive, Forms, Architectural Drawings, and to some merit, Military) the costs to Industry (at the time ) were claimed to be prohibitive. Industry claimed that it would put them at an unfair advantage to bear the costs to re-tool and still remain competitive in the world markets.
If they attempted to convert today, the process would be much easier. More computers are now in use than in the 1970’s. Many more parts are made overseas as well as metric parts made here in the U.S. The cost, today, while cheaper, still is a major anti-metric argument. Our older vehicles (Auto, Aircraft, Ships & Rail) our infrastructure (electrical, plumbing and lumber) and our printed materials would still need to be supported with replacement parts and conversion abilities. This would still require companies to maintain two sets of manufacturing capabilities.
On the Home front. I am pretty sure that Aunt Edna would be confused if she was used to using 1 pound of butter for a recipe and found that butter was only available as 500 Grams. I believe that she would stop baking – and let you decypher her handed down recipes.
I don’t believe Americans are LAZY…. Hell, we don’t care what the speed limit sign says! Some say we can’t adapt, tell that to the people waiting in lines at airports! Like someone said, We’ve had 2 litre bottles of Soda since the 70’s, Nobody’s complained! We never were able to go to the banks on weekends or after hours – American ingenuity solved that little fiasco (ATM’s were installed 5 years ahead of Europe!).
Will we convert to Metric ? We were told if we didn’t we were going to be left out of world trading. Well, we’re waiting….
I hope I helped,
James in San Diego
P.S. To the guy that said something about money — Money is not cosidered metric! But I’ll be happy to take 10 quarters for my dollar!
Where can I find a secretary code of conduct?
Hey ZVI,
Absent of the items that the previous person has listed, If you have a “Policy and Procedure” manual in the offices (usually it’s located in accounting or on a companies “intra-net”.). That will be your best routes. The P & P will be the “Bible” that will include things that won’t be in the job description.
Hope I helped more than I hurt.

Is Gastric Bypass Supposed To Be Preformed On Teenagers??Ages 12-18??
Hey D & G,
No, unless it is STRONGLY recommended by another doctor. I have heard of it being done by doctors, but in every case it has been at the request of other doctors.
I would check with the local chapter of the AMA or if nothing else, at least call your doctor or your local department of health and ask for other resources.
It’s a major physical as well as emotional drain on any person. Someone of that young age would have to be VERY level headed.
Thanks for caring!
James in San Diego
