I don't get it, can't a party decide what it wants again. If APC hires axelrod from US, then PDP could go to Russia and hire any PR company it desire. Enough of these childish tantrum from an incumbent Government. Common PDP blaming US, Tinubu and all for your woes. On a final note I think this government has started monitoring mails(if this story is true).

Family › Re: How To End Your Child's Habit Of Sucking A Thumb by Soknown: 10:54am On Jan 16, 2015

I do have a funny but real history with this topic. To start with not all children suck thumb, some suck other fingers, a finger or two fingers at a time. My little sista ( though late now, God bless her soul) started thumb sucking in our home when she was young, she sucked a thumb, the next sibling to her suck two fingers, the next younger sibling to him also suck two fingers and the last girl sucked left thumb. My wife's older sister sucked till secondary school, my niece sucks her thumb up till now (7 years +). My lil daughter also sucks.
Starting with my lil sista, we did everything, pepper, iodine, bitter leave, plaster, choroquine and other abusive measures that I should not type, NONE worked. She stopped when she wanted to stop in secondary school, the other siblings also stopped when they were older and realized the shame in the practice, but none of them have bad dentition.
When I had my second child, one woman delivered almost the same time with my wife but she had some issues so she couldn't feed the baby immediately, just like one hour after delivery we started hearing pa pa pa from the baby's cot. To our amazement the baby has started sucking his finger. We quickly called the nurses to hasten up with the mother so that she could feed the baby. My child, despite being fed immediately after birth also showed some signs of putting her finger into her mouth. Whenever she wants to sleep she sucks her thumb, if she put the right one and you remove it, she will not cry she will just put the left one.
When we got home, we started wearing gloves for her before bed but by the time she wakes up to feed the gloves will be wet, which means she sucked it even with the gloves, as she gets older like a month, she already knows how to remove the gloves with her mouth. so we started using the pacifiers but she doesn't tolerate that at all, she pushes it out with her tongue even when she is sleeping. So right now I am just watching, after all she does it only during bed time. I am open to any humane measure that I can still apply.
With all these history I have come to the conclusion that no matter what you do SOME children would suck until when they are older and realize the shame in it. I also realize that while some children suck because of hunger some use it as a pacifier/comfort while some use it as a teether especially when the teeth are coming out. Please we should not maltreat or abuse our children because of this habit, sometimes it is the only way they communicate with the world, sometimes it is a means of self-awareness.

WinsomeX:
That's true. A pacifier.

But my wife has a thing against it. She claims it causes the front tooth to protrude.

How true is it?

Totally untrue, most pacifiers are very soft just like teethers, some are made just like the mothers' nip.

It is a pity that you are caught in this web. As someone pointed out, you need to work on your mind if possible see a psychologist and a dermatologist. At the very least imbibe patience and follow what 5min posted. Lastly you may need to invest in good perfume ( no disrespect, by the time you are sun-tanning and you sweat and bacteria start feeding on the sweat, perfume and anti-deodorants would come to your aid to prevent BO.) Please work on your mind and imbibe patience. From the bottom of my heart Wishing you All the best.

abeg i rub kerosine on my dog to kill some of d ticks dat on him after removing d bigger ones and he kind of went berserk and have been crying.am scared did i do something wrong?

Please bath that dog, the kerosene is irritating his skin, you know the skin is no longer intact 'cos of the ticks' bite, the kerosene gets to the skin and those small wound sites. so bath him and wait for like 2 or 3 days before you apply any anti-tick measures.

ok noted. but dnt you think itz based on the quantity or level of it been injected into the dogs body that causes such danger? our dogs have being living healthy with no side effects. strong and active

I'm happy that your dogs are doing fine n healthy. Generally speaking, drugs side effects are irrespective of dosage- like when we used to take chloroquine and have itching, whether you take one tablet or four if you are prone to have itching you would have it. I am not a vet, I only write what I have been able to glean from the net and friends.

This is my problem with high breed Dogs, they are too fragile, try it on Bingo and i bet you, it will survive. snipper killed one of our Gsd slant back many year ago. my Mum ignorantly and innocently dropped it on its body just to kill ticks. that was the end of the whole matter it died few hours after. there is these prticular liquid our vet Doctor prescribed for our dogs, he didnt prescribe sef, he bought it for us three years back cnt remember the name again but will ask him, it turns to white when you add it in water and has a very Offensive smell. we bath the dogs with the liquid and he also injected them a different drug against ticks. the injection was done ones, they were bathed with the liquid trice since then the dogs have been tick free.

The injection could be ivermect injection, it works but somehow dangerous because of neurological side-effects.

Please what is the best way to remove Ticks from this dog. And what is the best Tick remover that is not poisonous to Dogs and the price,and where to get it

Let me share my experience with you. My first dog was a fine GSD which I named walker, he died of shampoo poisoning in November 2012. How did it happen ?- I discovered ticks on him and I went to the mall to buy this tick shampoo that contained fipronyl. I used it the first time and the dog started stooling, I used it again after 3 days and the dog could not eat, I called the Vet nearby, he suggested giving the dog DHL for parvo-virus though the dog was not due for the Vaccine. To cut the story, walker died. It was after his death that I realized he actually died of shampoo poisoning because the watery stool was not blood-stained( a classic sign of Parvo) and it started when I bathed him with that shampoo. Fast -forward to September 2014, my recent GSDs Skipper and Flier had tick after I walked Skipper along a particular path. I bought this same shampoo and Spot-on from the mall. I used the Shampoo for two consecutive weeks and I then apply the Spot-on liquid on their back, before you know it al them tick died out one by one. each time I used the shampoo on them I put palm oil in their mouth peradventure lick their body it the chemical would have little effect, a friend told me that you can use activated charcoal tablet but I have not tried it before.
Another thing I did was that I changed their location so that I could spray their cage, I used snipper mixed with Jik solution. I left the cage un-touched for 3 days then washed it thoroughly. before I put the dogs back in, I repeat the same to all other locations where I do chained them.
Mind you if you are not always around to observe your dog you can't follow this route. Hope this help in a way.

But seriously ehn, guy do you in your wildest imagination think that Buhari will defeat Jonathan at the pools?(you are right, GEJ will defeat GMB in a swimming pool, being younger and an Ijaw man, But mind you not at the Poll) You better think again.
FYI, even Tinubu, Atiku, Oyegun and other APC top guns understand the
fact that GEJ has worn the hearts ( you are right, he has worn our hearts and hope ragged )of
majority of Nigerians and that it is
almost impossible ( thank God you did not say absolutely impossible) for APC to win
next year's presidential election, that
is why they gave Buhari their ticket,
so that when he loses this time, they will have a reason to deny him their ticket should he come asking for it again in 2019.

Read the handwriting on the wall bro.

GEJ TILL 2019.
