Happy Birthday, Jenn! Have a great day!

Gosh, I had pages to catch up on.
Welcome back Eric and Anja, glad you had a nice trip. We missed you.
Kim, Sent you a PM. Not sure if your puter tells you that. Mine does.
Ciadriamom, Eric is right, your grandmother is not getting rid of enough carbon dioxide. Which is the gas that we breath out. In the lungs oxygen is exchanged for carbon dioxide, which is the "waste" given to the red blood cells as the travel around the body giving oxygen to the cells. There can be lots of reasons for this. Decreased lung capasity, decreased blood circulation, damaged lung tissue, and so forth. The important thing is to remind you grandmother to breath though her nose (if she has nasal oxygen tubing). It is very common for people with low oxygen levels to become very anxious, and confused. Hope this answers your question.
Boss lady gave me a raise yesterday! More money for the cruise!
Got to run.
Later, Avé

Ave...

Just sent you a back a PM. Thanks for your answer last night.

Bye, Kim

Hi Ave,
do you use nasal tubes only? If patients have trouble adjusting their breathing habits, we use a facemask covering mouth and nose and then try to get them used to the nasal thing step by step.

I got a raise, too: I was granted a temporary raise from January til June, which came as an extra to my regular salary, but didn't count for my annual bonus. With effect from July it is now part of my regular salary and thus will also have impact on my annual bonus

Gas prices have dropped considerably over here: About 10% less than two weeks ago. But everybody suspects that they're just giving us a short break before raising them again when summer vacation starts and demand rises.

This week Apple iTunes went online in France, UK & Germany. I just downloaded and installed it. Now we can download music without having a bad conscience After trying it I think I'm going to get me an iPod in the USA. They're so cheap over there: In Germany the 15GB-iPod comes at €400 ($480), in the States I can get it for $280 (€220)

Happy Birthday Jenn

Looking forward to meeting you on the cruise!

 

[ciadriamom]

Sorry I did mean carbon dioxide not monoxide, I think Im a little more tired than I thought. Thanks so much for the info. I spoke with her doctor and they have her on a CPAP machine at night and nasal oxygen during the day. Hoping that this helps.

MaryJo, have you given any thoughts to what excusions you'll be doing in Antigua, or if you'll be winging it on your own.,


BTW: A big thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers for my grams recovery.

Which one: 4GB, 15GB, 20GB or 40GB? I'm interested in the 15GB-version and that I found on the BestBuy-website for $299, but Amazon.com's got it for $277.

 

[Sarah'sMomfrom PA]

Eric...Sarah has a 15GB--it was $299.00 but Best Buy has a deal that if you see the price lower either at another store or through coupons, they will make good on the price within one month. When we bought it,we paid $299.00 then the following week, we get coupons in the mail for 10% off of any electronic--didn't know if they would honor this or not, so Sarah and I trek off to Best Buy and they guy said "no problem" so we saved an additional $31.80 with tax! She loves hers and will have it with her on the cruise (she always carries a book, her IPod and a CD player in her purse--no money (I guess that's what she has me for!!) but all of her electronic gadgets!!

Best Buy is great about matching prices with anyone else. I think the price of Ipods is $299.00 at Circuit City also. Mary Jo

 

[Hygiene99]

Hi all... Thanks for all the Birthday wishes!!

 

[Sarah'sMomfrom PA]

Off on vacation to New Hampshire for a week--going to visit the mansions in Newport, RI today and then on to NH for the rest of the week. Bette and Kim...we'll call you before we come down. Dinner with them and hygiene99 on Tuesday. Maybe we'll have moose since I never have gotten to see one yet--need to also stock up on my Vermont Maple Syrup!! Mary Jo

AAARRRRGGGHHHH! Our computer has been taken over by pop up ad's! We are know nothing about computers, so I have to wait for my dad to come back from his camping trip to figure out what is going on! It takes FOREVER for anything to work and for pages to load....oddly enough, almost all the pop up ads are for "is your computer getting overrun by pop ups and running slow?" How wierd is that! (Also, I never knew there could be so many diet patches out there!) So, I will have to deal with my DIS widthdrawl....the problem with the ads has been going on for over a week now, but it is getting worse. Had to vent. Hopefully, this will get fixed soon. My normal quick dis fixes are taking forever!

Guess this means I'll have to start reading more!

Happy Birthday Jenn

When I use aol on our computer I don't have a problem with the pop up issue. However, if I just go in under internet explorer we did have that problem, DS #2 installed some sort of pop up buster program to stop it from happening. I'm not computer savy either so can't tell you how he did it.

We are leaving this afternoon to go to my neice's wedding. She is getting married at 6pm on a Riverboat. Should be interesting. This is my strange sister's daughter (you know how every family has a strange relative mine is my one sister). So as my other sister says this will be more than a wedding it will be an Adventure.

I think in Antigua we are going to do the island tour.

Happy Father's day to all the Dads.

Nancy

Thank you very much for the info, MaryJo.
It is unbelievable how much cheaper all the Apple-stuff is in the USA I just checked out the price for the 15GB-pod, the Media-reader (To transfer digital pics from memorycards), and the Monster-Cable (A car-charger/FM-transmitter to hook up the pod to the car-stereo). All those components together cost less in the States than the pod alone in Germany
I'll probably order it from Amazon and have it sent to Mary (RellingTwin). I did the same last year with my digicam: Ir ordered it from Amazon and had it sent to a friend of mine in Denver. AS I already have an Amazon-account this is the most comfortable way to do it. They have those special rebates from time to time, too. Additionally the grapevine says that there may be a considerable price-drop for all I-pods in the making. Perhaps I even buy two and sell one on ebay in Germany: I just checked ebay and the 15GBs usually go for €360, which would bring me a profit of €140 But I don't wanna risk to get into trouble with the German Customs.

Have a good trip

Folks,
if you want to see some new faces, just surf to our homepage. I just added pics of JeanneC and Twhipple & their DHs.

There is still some room for additional pics. You may send them to the regular Yahoo-account, which also accepts large file now.

Here's the link to our homepage.
