    Let's Talk Movie Review

    So I watched Chihuahua that dog movie and was just silly. I knew it would be ridiculous, but I wanted a light movie. My all time scary movie is The Exorcists. OMG, that movie still creeps me out. My favorite part is the new DVD, which has her crawling down the stairs backwards. Play that in slow motion and it just way to dang funny, but creepy!:thumbup::scared2:
  2. How odd, no where in Jachut's last comment did I see any statment with your name on it. Your last sentence adds nothing of value to the topic of discussion.
  3. Jachut, you are so right with your comments. There are some women who for whatever reason chose to undercut and put down other women, rather than to be supportive. I see it all the time in the work force.

    Today: 45 Minutes treadmill 4% incline at 2.20 miles. Slow walk. Turtle walk, but trying to build up my stamina. Lulu, it feels great to be back.:thumbup:

    Octuplets and SIX other children??!!!

    Oh yes, they mentioned that all 8 babies combined would have 64 feedings a day. Imagine trying to do that by yourself. The 12 nurses that will be providing the care are specially trained in neonatal preemies.

    Octuplets and SIX other children??!!!

    Alright, part 2 of Dr. Phil and the octo-mom story aired today. The good news is that all 8-babies had chromosome (sp)tests conducted and all are healthy. One baby has a cleft lip. Not sure why the Angel Nurses mentioned the autistic scale for three of the babies. Does not sound like the one baby has down syndrome, so this GREAT news. Donations of cribs, bunk beds, dressing tables, rocking chairs, and dressers were announced on the show. A donation of labor and designing was pledged to help put the nursery together, so that it would be a safe environment for the babies. A general contractor is donating their time to modify the home, so that it will be safe for all the children. Modifications will include getting rid of single pain windows and replace with double pain windows. Reconstruct the stair case and railings, so that they are safe for all the children. A donation of new flooring was pledged. There is a weekend donation drive down in Southern Cali to collect diapers formula and other baby items. Dr. Phil did not state what donation he is making if any. The show really focused on the needs of the babies and the other children. And there was a segment on why Foster Care is not the answer for these babies. What was very interesting was how the Angel Nurses will mimic octo-mom's nurturing mannerisms. It was just fascinating.

    Lulu, She was non-reactionary in my opinion. Lights on but no one home. It was just odd!

    Octuplets and SIX other children??!!!

    I watched the Dr. Phil special last night on octo-mom. Octo-mom, Gloria, Dr. Phil, and the Angel nurses all met at Dr. Phil's house to have a big Pow WoW! Based on that meeting octo-mom agreed to accept the generous offer to have nursing care for all 14 of octo-mom's children. And Octo-mom was able to purchase a home, which appears is being funded from donations. No mention of octo-mom's dad being the person who bought the house. Perhaps that was a rumor. Trust accounts are available at Dr. Phil's web site and the Angel nurses' web site. Dr. Phil has a follow up special today, in which he states he has a big surprise for octo-mom, which no doubt is some type of personal financial contribution or some type of foundation contribution. The Angel nurses stated that 3 of the 8 children appear to be autistic. And one of the new-borns appears to have downs syndrome. All I can say at this point, is thank goodness the Angel Nurses are able to donate these wonderful services to the babies. Four of the babies are ready to go home today, but the hospital will only release them two at a time. It looks as though two babies will come home in two days. They are just waiting for the cribs and escrow on the house to close. The escrow on the house was suppose to close yesterday.

    March Exercise challenge

    Today: 45 minutes slow walk 2.17 miles at 3% incline. I received all my lab work back and the doctor and I reviewed it together last Friday. Based on the results, we increased my thyroid medication from .088mg to .1mg. We are hoping that this slight modification will help my poor thyroid and eliminate all the symptoms I have been exhibiting since the second week in January. I must say my quality of life has sucked, but I am very hopeful, I can get my energy back!:laugh:

    Exercise and Health Issues

    Finally, some peace of mind and from lab work results. My thyroid level was out the very low end of what they call the "normal range." A result like this combined with all the symptoms I have been exhibiting requires a modification in thyroid meds. My symptoms include extreme hair loss, joint pain, feeling cold, loss of memory, inability to concentrate, uncontrollable hunger, body aches, tiredness, and difficulty walking. This all started back the second week in January and we are just not addressing all these symptoms. Some times it is so challenging to get a doctor to listen to what your experiencing. All though I was testing in the "normal range," I was feeling anything but normal. My quality of life was impeded by all these symptoms. Anyway, my meds were adjusted last Friday from .088mg to .1 mg. It's hard to believe that a little organ AKA "thyroid", can wreak havoc on your body when it is not working properly. The OBGYN doctor states it can take two weeks before the new meds start yielding any results. I have a follow up appointment with her on April 6 to do more blood work and go over the mammo and ultra sound results.

    Octuplets and SIX other children??!!!

    So true...there is no difference between her whoring and a street walker. All for the love of money. And no matter how people try to spin it, it is just wrong on so many levels to sell the children's story and images.
