  1. Praying for a speedy recovery for your DD.
  2. I had plans for my "last meal". It was supposed to be my mom's birthday dinner last year. They moved my surgery up by a week, so I ended up starting my liquid diet before her birthday. I was so heart broken thinking about that meal. Of course, I have since had everything that I thought I wasn't going to eat again.
  3. I agree with Glou-you are super woman! You should be able to get an iPhone for a lot less than when they started. They have come way down on the price. Good luck!
  4. Morning all. I had to practically swim to work today. The storms are so bad that some schools had to close because it would be too dangerous for them to get to school. Kat-I hope you feel better soon. Glouc-I hope your DH feels better soon. Heartfire-don't forget to call your doctor today. I will check in again in a little bit. I hope that everyone has a wonderful, safe Monday.
  5. Thanks guys. I had it checked about 2 months ago. It was 115/82 at that time with the medicine. I go back again next week to have it all evaluated again. They always ask me if I have felt bad after taking it. This is the first time that I can remember feeling like this though. I will watch it for the next day or so. If I continue to feel bad, I will see if I can be seen sooner than the 28th. Thanks both of you for caring.:biggrin:
  6. We'll miss you Tap! Glouc-I am at a loss for words on your family situation. Then again, a lot of families (mine included) are enough to drive you to drink. Heartfire-I hope you feel better soon. Does your doc allow you to take a small amount of children's liquid ibuprofen? That might help with some of the swelling. Ebony-that is great about your walk! You did a wonderful job. Hello to everyone else. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. PJTP-I have spent the entire day in bed. I don't know if it is time for me to come off my blood pressure meds or what. I got up this morning. I had my coffee and took my blood pressure medicine like normal. About an hour later, I just felt sapped of all energy. I went back to bed and slept. I got up for a little bit to eat at lunch time. I was freezing and still feeling off. I lay back down and went back to sleep. I have slept off and on all day. I finally feel somewhat awake now. Of course, it is really close to bedtime now. I am so screwed for tonight's rest and getting up bright eyed in the morning.
  7. It appears that my city isn't the only one doing away with teaching cursive writing. Cursive writing may be fading skill, but so what? - Yahoo! News
  8. Yay Glouc! That is great news.
  9. Hot damn! That is awesome Tap!!!!! :thumbup:
  10. Don't be so hard on yourself. You hit a rough patch, but you have made your way through it. You are doing great, and don't you forget that.
  11. What an awesome NSV! I hate shopping too, but what a wonderful reason to have to. I hope you find the perfect pants in the first store that you go into.
  12. Wow, that is short notice for such a far away trip. We will miss you. I will especially miss our early morning chats. I had to go to a birthday dinner for my mom. She chose a Chinese buffet. I really wasted money by going there. DS made up for it. He ate like a grown man! I have only been home for about 30 minutes. I went straight from work to the mall in order to find the gift my mom asked for. I had just enough time to come home and change out of my work clothes and head back out. It was a really long evening. We spent almost 3 hours at this restaurant. I am sure they wanted us to leave. I am sure I have mentioned that everyone in my family is overweight. I am sure they wanted to charge us double for the amount of food that was consumed by the people at our table. There were about 20 or so of us there. They put away pounds of food. Then one of my aunts made a devils food cake. She brought this out at the end. I couldn't believe how many of them ate cake!!! Then it hit me, this time last year, I would have eaten it too. Well, actualy, this time last year I was on my pre-op diet and refused to go to the restaurant. My mom understood (sort of), but no one else knew what was going on. They thought I was just being mean to my mom. See the long post above.
  13. I am getting the same thing Tap. It looks very strange with the flap from the tag dangling (almost like it is breathing) in the corner. Do you think the slow loading is really just to allow us time to notice to the tag? :biggrin:
  14. Kat-glad to know you weren't abducted or otherwise harmed (other than the beat down you got in softball).
  15. :wub: I hear the strange music now.:biggrin:
  16. I never watched the Walton either. I don't mind gin though...
  17. I had an email that said something about cows too. Must be gremlins...
  18. I did teach DS how to write in cursive. I felt that he needed to know it. Take care of yourself. Don't wait too long to try to be seen by a doctor. I hope that you got some sleep Tap. You aren't typhoid Mary just yet. :wub:
  19. That was my first thought too.:thumbup:
  20. I wonder why they don't do it here then. They just expect them to pick it up? WTH? I have to wonder if it was just his elementary because the teachers write in cursive at his current school, and I can only assume they expect them to be able to read it.:thumbup:
  21. Ok, so I had to go back and get some of the posts that I didn't get a chance to reply to earlier... You understand then! Your dog weighs about as much as DS! re the mirrors-I agree with Glou. If I looked like you, there would be mirrors lining every surface in my house! Exactly! I need to buy more wipes and put them around. DS and DH already bathe in the antibacterial gel. They both complain about perfume being too strong, but they will both walk around smelling of old ladies with that on their hands.:thumbup: ha! You can do it! :eek: What was the noise?
  22. suzyt-that is awesome about fostering! heartfire-I hope you feel better. Hopefully you will get over whatever it is before it hits you. ***spraying everything down just in case your cooties are strong like Tap's*** :thumbup: Speaking of Tap, how are your eyes doing?
  23. That is so sweet for him to bring you coffee.
