  1. Hah, ok I caught up with it.. still curious what your response is, but I saw what the OP was.. What'd you say? Remember I told ya'll how I went thru and found all these customers' customers, and then blah blah, they made me send out a retraction today (an official one, drawn up by our old customer). It ends up this is all kinds of miscommunications. They do still owe us lots of money and we are still going to go after their customers--just a different way. So after I send out all these retractions, I am to keep going through all the files and go after the 'rest' of their customers but not use their name. The joys of my job I guess.
  2. Heather- I know it's mean, but I'm a lil glad you're gaining weight because it makes me not feel so bad about mine. When I was crying about the weight I was gaining you were going "Oh I lost 2lbs this week!".. I know, I'm bad. Misery loves company?!! Don't hold it against me!! Now we can lose it together I rarely read the threads that cause a stink unless things get reported. Or I'm really bored, but then I don't read the 50 pages before, I catch up on the last 2. But since you just posted the link, now I will go look. Bwhahaha. I have only revoked people's memberships for spam reasons.. I don't like to make judgement calls on people being mean and inappropriate (although without looking at the thread, I bet you didn't post anything inappropriate, you are very level headed---that's why I know you will laugh at the first part of my post and understand the humor :crying: ) Doh, went to look at it and thread is deleted. You musta been a bad girl.
  3. My sister told me a blip about L Word.. not happy about it, but I stopped her so she didn't ruin anything. She said it says to log into the website for the next couple weeks to find out who killed Jenny?!?! REALLY?! They have the series finale and don't wrap everything up? What about in 20 years if someone wants to watch season of this show and the website tellin ya isn't up anymore? That just pisses me off.
  4. Since you said you wouldn't mind it in private--but not downloaded.. Not sure how a temporary files folder just pops up--but temporary files store things that you just looked at. For example, if you go to Sally's Porn site, just to look at it, your temporary internet files will fill up with Sally porn site stuff.. if you go to LBT, your temp. internet files will fill up with LBT logos, data, etc. It's not that you downloaded it, temp. internet files just store themselves without you knowing. (Good way to spy on your kids). So if your big qualm was that he 'downloaded' it, if it's in the temp files--he didn't download it, he just went and looked at it.
  5. I haven't watched L Word yet.. I watched Big Love, I am just shocked about Nikki. And when in the midst of it all, she was running to Ray apologizing and trying to talk to him--not her husband.. I was like rut roh. Poor Bill, the drama in his life never ends!!
  6. LOL Haydee!!! When I was younger my family would drive up to Chattanooga for the weekend, only 1.5 hours away.. Ruby Falls, (brain fart) some mountain that was really cool, and Chattanooga ChooChoo. I have great childhood memories of going there, and I still try to get Russ to go there (I guess life gets too busy sometimes). Sometimes just down the road is a fun vacation!! Room service & turn down service are a plus too. I'm going to CATO's today to see if I can find some new maternity shirts. I am SO TIRED of everything being too short. You can be tall... you can be pregnant.. you can NOT be tall and pregnant. Everyone says they see my belly panel, so I tug and tug and no shirts will come down long enough.. I am flooding horribly, my pants dance around my shins.. I just look a mess.
  7. Same as Heather--haven't been there, so I don't know. But if you look through the pregnancy section of this forum, I know Breastfeeding with the band has come up on at least 2 occasions with many response, so you could go reference there for info..
  8. Uhm, it does matter and no legitimate doctor will band you while pregnant.
  9. I bought a bag of mini cadbury eggs a couple weeks ago and consumed them all in 3 days. Shh... I'm not as good as you Judy! I have NO restriction the past couple of days.. paired with the chest pain, I'm afraid something happened to my band :confused: I'm praying and praying it's just funky with baby pressure, and it will work fine when it's just my stomach in there.. Off to bed, hate this time change
  10. I'll always have time for my V's!!
  11. Cruise sounds great!! I'm hoping that feedback thing doesn't become a permanent fixture, it is annoying. Back is bad as ever, I did my exercises last night, then I was in the kitchen and felt what reminded me of a bubble bursting in my right hip.. OY. I hurt so bad.. Russell gave me a massage last night, I was almost in tears I hurt so bad.. the massage felt so good, I cried some tears of relief.. then I didn't want to move, so he took my glasses off and I fell asleep.. woke up all throughout the night in pain.. took a hot bath around 3am. Woke up, it's as if nothing changed :laugh: I was counting the weeks, if this doesn't go away till Carson is here, that's going to be a while.. but I've dealt with it for 2 weeks now.. This is definitely turning me off from wanting to get pregnant again!!! I also worry about how this will affect giving birth.. If I still hurt like this, it's impossible to pull my legs up and I can't bend at all. I would not feel 'bad' for having to do a c-section, all I care is that he's healthy and safe!! My doc does not want to do c-section on me unless it's an emergency due to the pelvic kidney though. People at work, I told them about Grady and how BIG he is (they don't know who I'm talking about)!! One girl said her sister had 3x 10+lb babies, ALL NATURAL. Ow.. Cat just let out horrendous gas, got to evacuate the computer room (gag).
  12. They look great on you!!
  13. Yes, Kampyle is a software for websites to offer feedback forms.. It's safe ) I personally don't put my e-mail in blanks like that (but it says that is optional) just in case they sign you up for junk mail.
  14. I don't have specifics, but don't worry it is NOT a virus-- it is part of the site added recently (although I'm hoping temporarily).
  15. Been dealing with this customer thing all day, God what a headache!!!!!!!! I can't wait for the day to be over. Uhmmm the BF class is to teach you how to overcome certain problems if they arise, and I have some issues I want to address (it's just a 1x class for 2 hours). The people who do the class are the same ones who help you in the hospital, but I guess I want to ease my mind ahead of time. (I think their official title is Lactation Consultant???) But as the day is going on and I'm dealing with correcting this snafu, I am really glad I'm not going to the class tonight. I can not wait to go home, put pajamas on.. maybe take a hot bath for my poor back. Maybe find some Dairy Queen on the way home. This has been an unusually busy/annoying Friday. Normally Fridays drag on forever with nothing to do.. not today! And I've had to go back to the plant several times, and I hobble and cringe with every step.. and of course everyone likes to point out the waddle.
  16. Suppose to have breastfeeding class tonight.. I never got anything in the mail (telling me where to go), so I called to get the info.. she said "It shows you called in and cancelled the class". Derrr.. I said "Ok, well I didn't!" So she's like "Well it says you did".. again I said "Ok, but I didn't!" so they are putting me in a March 30th class. I don't really care, except that she kept arguing with me to tell me I called in and cancelled.. and even telling me she'll fax me the notes that say I did...... but I didn't!!
  17. You're going to see Reba Haydee? THE Reba? I love Reba! I saw her in concert for my 11th birthday with my granny.. back when she had the big poofy hair. And I loved her TV show.. So at work, they had me go through boxes and boxes of files (the trend right now, is our customers going out of business owing us 100's of thousands) so to recoup, we're seeing if we can figure out who their customers were (by looking at old orders) and going after them directly. So I spent most of yesterday going through files, finding customer's customers names.. and calling on them. So I get an e-mail this morning from the main customer saying "Quit telling our customers we're out of business" ?!?!?!?! So I go back to the person who had me doing this, and she's like "Oh yeah.. I guess that one branch is still open, and we do work for them sometimes"--- Not anymore!! Can't believe she didn't tell me that, I am emberassed. I was trying to help us recoup our losses, now we look like bad vendors trying to steal our customer's customer (which is a HUGE no-no in the industry). Our last parenting class was last night, I asked the teacher (she is an RN) about my chest pains, she disclosed it with "You should still call your doctor" but she said it sounds like reflux. I told her I DO have heartburn, this is not heartburn pain.. she said there's a difference (I didn't know that?). Anyway, last night it happened when I slept on my RIGHT side. But when I move from that side the pain stops--I was awake when I felt the pain coming on from being on that side. She also was talking about how for the first 2 weeks people are coming in and out of your house 'helping'. I am kind of anxious about that, on one hand I will like having like my mom/granny there to show me what to do--on the other hand, I know it will make me feel 'watched' and akward, and I'll have a hard time settling into my own routine with them there. Russell agreed he's going to take off a week at least in the beginning, he can work from home if needed, but so I'll have him there to help me. Work is busy, we've already got big re-orders for that job I e-mailed ya'll about (the American Idol guy), so I guess his CD is selling! Having my morning hot chocolate... hope ya'll have a good day! OH and Pam, no I haven't heard of that place. I don't actually 'play' Secondlife, so I don't know about things going on there unless I read about it in the news (like the government campaigns, protests, rallys, concerts, etc. etc.) I just own some land, I built a store on it, I make clothes--upload the clothes, adjust & fit them.. put them in a box and set them for sale. Watch the money roll in!
  18. Overall my allergies have gotten better, I was literally filling up a medium sized trash can every night with tissues, now i only need about 2-3 tissues at night and when it wakes me up I can easily go back to sleep. I'm only taking the allergy meds they gave me as needed (every other day), and then they gave me a steroid nasal spray to take every day until Carson comes along.. so I do that too. Last night my hand rash flared up, it's a ton of bumps that are now raw and bleeding.. not sure what triggered that. I don't think I thought to bring up the hands thing at the allergist, maybe I should have.
  19. Well the donut was my bad me for breakfast, but I had half a salad for lunch and lots of water so far. I've been in the habit of drinking Dr. Pepper the past month (never liked it before!!!), so I am getting back on track and no more sodas (again). Haven't had one in a week, yay. I was debating going to get a fill before Carson comes along, I really hate the idea of having to go down there after he's born.. with him as a newborn, or leaving him with someone :/ But then I thought, I'd hate even more to have a problem during delivery or something if I get sick blah blah..so just going to wait. I definitely need a fill though.
  20. Never PB'd on a donut, mmmm sweet sweet donut. I did control myself to an extent, I REALLY wanted to grab a chocolate glazed & normal glazed. But I talked myself into only getting 1 Any of you heard of chest pain during pregnancy? I'm trying to google info (people mention heartburn--this is NOT heartburn, although I have plenty of that too), 2nd time it's happened this week--both times were caused by sleeping on my left side. First time the other night I thought it had to do with my port (which is in my chest) and I thought I squished/pulled it or something. Sitting up and stretching made it better. About 2 hours before I woke today, I rolled onto my left side, so when I woke up this morning I had horrible tightness and pain in the center of my chest, I sat up and stretched and it didn't go away. I rubbed my port, no help.. when I raised my arms I realized the pain shot to my back. Was very uncomfortable and took about 10 minutes to go away. Pair that with the fact that even tho I was feeling slightly better after PT yesterday, by last night I was WORSE.. now my right hip hurts like my left hip does. Takes me 10 minutes to hobble down the hallway at work right now.
  21. How funny, I had a donut for breakfast too!! I brought a handful of red grapes, but when I got to the coffee pot to get hot water for my tea--there was a box of donuts.
  22. I can't wait!! And that means by time our trip is here, I'll have Carson to snuggle with.. double can't wait!!
  23. I can say, Carson kicks quite a bit, yesterday he was active ALL DAY (which worried me a little--he needs to sleep!!) but, I've yet to get tired of the kicking. I first felt movement at 23 weeks I believe, and I'm 33 weeks tomorrow. So 10 weeks and I still enjoy it. It's fun to see what he reacts to (movies, someone talking, some way I move, etc.). I can drown it out for the most part too, the only time it 'annoys' me--although I don't think that's the word I'd use, is when he is kicking under my boob and it feels like my rib cage is having muscle spasms.. I just rub it and he kicks back, so it makes it fun again to feel him kicking my hand.
  24. Hah hah, congrats! "What To Expect When You're Expecting" and the Pregnancy Bible have been a big help to me, I read (and still reference) both of them cover to cover. One of the nurses told me WTEWYE has a book for the first year also "What To Expect In The First Year", I am ordering that one soon too. As for the future, well.. all we've done is started a savings account for private school tuition. We figured up how much we need to save between now & kindergarten to have money to pay for the tuition up to 2nd grade. Couldn't tell you much else lol. I got a slight unfill only due to tightness, now I wish I'd stuck through it, I've gained too much weight. Here's some websites I like to look at... http://www.baby-gaga.com/ http://www.babycenter.com/ http://www.whattoexpect.com/what-to-expect/landing-page.aspx (I like this one a lot but the pages load SO slow)
