Shrinkin' Violets- Part 2 Read Here
Tracy good job!!! That really is neat!! Just got back from Urgentcare and luckily my arm is not broken!! He said to just keep it elevated for the next few days so it doesn't get anymore swollen. The Dr. also gave me some antibiotics for my cough and congestion. He said I probably had a viral thing that turned into a secondary infection. I am glad I went, cause now my cough will go away!!!!

I only really visit this thread, so I am not sure who she is or some of the other people she is talking about. I for one find everyone to be supportive, much more so than I am. I always feel guilty because everyone seems so much better at personals than I. I may not write them, but you all are an important and supportive part of my life. I think this is a very honest group and appreciate that!!! So thank you TRACYKS GINA TRACYK PAMELA TERRY SUSIE JUDY LAURA JENN DENISE HAYDEE KAT MICHELLE WHO AM I FORGETTING VERY SPECIAL VIOLETS *** NAMES WILL COME TO ME AS SOON AS I POST THIS!

I don't think I told you that when I went to the fill Dr. on Thursday I gained 9 pounds!!!!!! She said it was fluid or something other than real weight and wouldn't give me a fill since I was sick. I have to wait three weeks!!!! I am totally panicing (Is it spelled panicked? That doesn't look right either!!)!!! So I am going with what my scale showed me on Monday and that was a 2 pound gain, and then I will weigh myself in the am. Jane

Well my arm is a bit better, ice really helped and the swelling is way down. It was so weird. Not sure if I will go to Dr or not, see how is goes today. It is not snowing here. We got what they were saying of 2 to 3 inches of rain. Think how much snow that would have been!! Well I think I am going to have a repeat of last week and stay on the couch, instead of cough syrup I will have an ice pack!! Jane

Gina, Think of it as quality control!!! I mean you have to make sure they are good!!! I hurt my arm! Oh my gosh I came home from work and tripped and fell, there is a big egg on my forearm, my sister who is a orthopedic nurse said that maybe that was a good sign that I had a lot a swelling in a small area, so keep ice on it and see how it is in the morning. OH NO is all I can say if something is wrong with my arm!! Jane

Jenn I hope you get positive news TODAY!!!!! TracyK those highlights sound pretty. I colored my hair darker than I normally do, and really like it. One of the girls at work thinks I need highlights, but I am sort of liking the darker right now. Well feeling a bit better. Still have a horrendous cough, got some medicine last night, but it took ALL DAY for my Dr.s office to get it right and then Walgreens still wouldn't fill it, so I had to call the exchange. I hate calling the doctor on the regular phone let alone the exchange!!! So I only got in one dose yesterday. I am off to a meeting at City Hall now, I wonder if things will be different due to the tragedy that hit Kirkwood. I hate these meetings, I am the secretary of the taxing district and 8:00 am is early for this hairdresser!!! Have a nice day and hopefully by the time I post tonight I will be all better, the cough medicine was $81.99 so a complete cure is called for!! jane

I made the mistake of stepping on the scale yesterday I only weigh on Mondays, so why I weighed yesterday I don't know. I WAS UP 5 POUNDS!!!! I am hoping that tomorrow when I weigh for real it doesn't say that!! I mean really!! Maybe it is the cough syrup that has 1000 calories per teaspoon! yea that is it!!! Okay everyone have a great day I am going back on the couch! Jane

I just got done reading "The Road" by the gentleman that wrote "No Country for Old Men". It was a very good book, but very disturbing. I think I want to read more of his books. I think his name is Carmac McCarthy. I don't like bloody shoot em up movies, so I don't think I would like the movie, but everyone who has seen it LOVES it. I hope I am not getting sick!! I have a cough that sounds horrible, but it really doesn't bother me, but now my throat is getting sore. I am working, then going to a funeral, then babysitting. So I don't have time to be sick tomorrow!! Have a good one!! Jane

From what I can see from this, the shooter was very upset over the way the city handled a number of things. It seems he was in a constant battle with the city, and I guess he just snapped. It does seem like my parents friend is dead. It is not official, they are supposedly not announcing that til the morning. My customer had a front row seat according to a newspaper article. She reports for the newspaper on the city council sessions. I just can't believe it. So terrible, can't seem to turn the tv off. Oh well I hope the families and friends can find some sort of peace tonight and the next few days to help get them through this terrible event.

That is the Yost family. Friends of my parents. Bad bad situation. Can't imagine what the families are going through. Hits home sometimes

Shrink'n Violets TIP 'O THE DAY!!
Wednesday tip of the day! Happiness in this world, when it comes, comes incidentally. Make it the object of pursuit, and it leads to a wild-goose chase, and is never attained. Follow some other object, and very possibly we may find that we have caught happiness without dreaming of it. Learn how to be happy with what you have while you pursue all that you want. Happiness is not an accident. Nor is it something you wish for. Happiness is something you design. How sad to see a father with money and no joy. The man studied economics, but never studied happiness. The greatest source of unhappiness comes from inside.
