8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC #10

[Lil' Grumpy]

well, could be wrong..but doesn't t-s***t happens? ..esp. around here,






..oh, steph...i'm so sorry. ...[ peds...are one area i could
never work in...i'm amazed..how strong..some are. st. jude is one of our
favorites] . howver, i do think..they're lucky..having your son and all the
support your family can give them.


..yor caring attitude is inspiration nor is it missed,..my feeling?...i just
wish...we take...health..care providers...back to the basics..and
focusing more on comfort needs...[ not narcotics] ..
and make changes..where we need them. { the group iam working with
now....we're all getting near the end of our careers...what we should be
doing..is "passing on"...so the new gnereation..won't have to start @ the
begining. { not only sterotyping is completely out of reality..even the things
we are doing....across the nation ( reagarding mental health) needs junked.

step by step...what is misunderstood..can be explained...where everything
"we're doing"..is not only understood..but would improve life...& so easy to
do. so ironic, the "we"....include a neurosx., [ no longer could operate],
another medical md, & all intensive care nurses....that were redirected to
this job. we started from scratch....& while this is a "bold claim"...as it is also
true.."very true!"....there're only..3 types..we cannot help...a]
organic~dementia/alizh., head trauma....brain tissue does not regenerate,
and...those not wanting to get better. *while..it makes..no sense...you
will be surprise..how many adults...thrived on getting "high"...by making
themselves..chemical inbalanced. today, our laws...lack understanding
toward addressing those....heading toward destruction...before its too
late. jus as it was a "factual"...i went to court..to stopped the crapped..
that was effecting my kids. 3 mos later, columbine. then there's the v~tech.
..when i heard...about his professor...being terrorized.."2/years" before.
how many more?

health care..isn't a game. but few are listening ..or caring. that include
those within the "ranks".

i'm praying...steph.girl..that the ca..isn't "genetic"...& while ..i have no
right...to make any suggestion..i hope they don't..give up..no matter
what! ...because..miracles..can & do happened.


....which reminds...me..dear mismce....i liketo share..what i think..are
very effective..preventions...for those with cardiac...conditions?

#1 ..as it is for..all of us? [ * that add years..to one's life]? handwashing!
..remember..preventing..colds/flu's...those are killers to heart pts! psst,
handwashing..before..and after.#2 "digestion" ...it is absolute..crazy...to
smoke..after eating. [ it's like runnning & smoking @ the same time. the
process of digestion..is when your heart is under..the most stress. then
avoiding..overeating..should be self evident,

..just the other..day..we admitted a pt. ..who was depressed because he
just had a mi? how stupid..is that? * sometimes..feeling depress ..after
a loss [ lke a parent/ even health status]..is normal. ..just had a
mi..& was never taught....the basics...post care, . not only
something..wrong..i'll be ashamed..to have been..that neglectful..or worst..
they don't understand?

scary...

..oh, thanks, mismce...for your "happy thoughts"...however, i get alot of
practice...all the time,..dealing...with....dangerous...people. psst,
i 'll..go in..armed..with syringe + haldol, ..see? magic..wand, too!

Just wanted to say




Reading is fundamental!!




that's all.......carry on

 

[4fosterkids]

Arggghhh! Fellow pirates, ye've gotten the Draft to help us seek Gain in our full contact laundry cruise. Cheer up mates! We sail with the Tide!

Do we need to give it our All??

Guess I'll have to give it my All then.

Well of course we do....and we'll do it with CHEER.

Well..I guess that's show BIZ

LOL...
Well that was very BOLD of you all....
I will close by telling you that you all look FAB....doesn't that just WISK you off your feet!!

 

[got2travel]

OMG they just opened one up near us too.

I keep telling DH "Don't even think about it"

And he'll say "don't you like them for their hot wings too?"

From the song

So I'm either the coolest mom or the worst mom. But DS and I go to Hooters a LOT. Even planning on making a run to the one in Aruba while we're there. I really do love the wings. The only other place that I truly like the hot wings is a small chain in Memphis.

When we were in Vegas a few weeks ago, I asked DS where he wanted our last meal to be before we headed toward the airport. He was torn between, in his own words "hot girls in booty shorts or animals on the walls" - he was trying to decide between Hooters and Rainforest Cafe. Then Todd had to throw in another choice of Hawaiian Tropic, yes the suntan lotion. They've got a restaurant where all the girls are in bakinis.

 

[GoofyontheHiSeas]

I thought a side effect of Cipro was diarrhea?

Mike, Roger?

Any antibiotic can cause nausea/vomiting/cramps/diarrhea because it kills off the bacteria that live in your gut. Cipro is not know for diarrhea if you are taking it for short periods of time (ie. Travelers Diarrhea). One word of warning though, if you take Cipro or any drug in that family, they will increase your sensitivity to the sun. Beware if you take these stay out of the sun.


Sorry that I have not been around. After K problems at work, I have not been using the internet except for work the last couple of weeks. I am currently involved in some disputes with our current boss (#23 in the last 10yrs) and I don't want to take any chances this close to TOAL. I think I will take my laptop to work tomorrow and see if I have time to make it chat (the beauty of wireless networks).

Debi, regarding sea sick medications, check with your doctor. You should be able to take meclizine, maybe not the patch, same for ginger.

Hope everyone has a great 4th of July!

"Look, a peanut" comes from POTC 3 when Jack is down in Davy Jones' locker.

I'm innocent started after an impromptu chat on a Saturday night and we were being overrun with VMK kids. We sent out a call to some mods and webmasters. When they came in they checked the chat history and started booting some of us out because of some comments that were made. One of the people who didn't get booted was MR and she had some of the worst comments - after that she was always protesting her innocence and then it just caught on.

And I WAS innocent that night. That night was a blast.. That had to be well over a year ago.

NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE!

As BIP is my witness... I was INNOCENT that nite! Especially in light of what some (including MR in paricular) had said! And yet here I was ... INNOCENT ol' ME getting thrown out and into the poky!

 

[justmestace]

You win....a cake for you:

Yep...that really is a cake!

I'd take Jared...but then, I'm not sure if I'm a good mom or a bad mom either.

Debi, regarding sea sick medications, check with your doctor. You should be able to take meclizine, maybe not the patch, same for ginger.

Coincidently, the Mythbusters on today did sea-sickness remedies. While hardly a scientific sample (they only tried it on two people who got seasick easily), they busted sea-sickness bands, electronic pressure point gizmos and homeopathic remedies. Ginger worked. So did the medications (though they left the guys groggy).

OMG...that needed a drink warning!!

Gee......

The electronic wristbands seem to help Alicia and I realy well....

....seriously.

Yes, finally. I just finished my daughters gold gown from the first movie (my favorite). It's huge. It took 2 months. I'm just waiting for her shoes. They're coming from Canada, from a company that specializes in reproductions from the 16-1800's. They should be here next week. I'll try and post pictures. He's making them out of the same material the dress is made out of (silk brocade).

Actually, I'm going to start packing the costumes today.

Jack tried on his Norrington costume on yesterday. His shoes came in yesterday (from the same company).

He looks smashing!

I weighed my costume the other day it weighs almost 30 lbs. I guess we'll be paying for extra weight and suitcases.

Take care. Say hi to Alan and Adam for us!

30 lbs! I'll be hoping for a nice cool breeze for you

For those of you wanting to get a new watch just in case you lose or damage your good one on TOAL, I thought these might just be suitable - probably more women's than men's

I'm considering getting one - they are cheap enough

dahuffy - As a dog lover you would appreciate this story. Today I took our 1 yr old Min. Schnauzer to the vet for vac. Her name is Belle. A few minutes after I left the vet, Belle threw up so I stopped to clean the van. When I got back into the van, she collapsed on the seat. I rushed her back to the vet. They rushed her to the back and started working on her. She had gone into anaphylactic shock! After much care, she is home recovering now.

Hope she's doing well. I had a cat that had a reaction to shots once. Very scary.

 

[jas]

Morning all Happy 4th.
Happy birthday and anniversary to all i've missed.
Prayers to all in need.

 

[jas]

Please say a prayers for my husbands friend. He woke up yesterday and found his wife dead on the bathroom floor.

 

[sk8ingmom]

G'mornin' s

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!

We're not doing much. Plan to walk over to Mount Vernon for a while, then maybe go to the pool. Neither one of us has much desire to watch the fireworks from the Mall with several million people, so I'll be around if anyone else wants to chat tonight.

Is that a shore excursion in Cartegena?

I guess that would be before the ancient fornications stop.

My oldest called just a little bit ago...... He just talked to a friend of his (they are 28 now and have known each other since they were about 9 or 10). His friend called him to let him know that his 9 month old baby boy (we have known his wife since they were either in Jr Hi or just starting HS...) was diagnosed with Cancer today.

They will do surgery to remove his tumors next week and then a few days later they will put in his port.
I am heartbroken for them.

Oh Steph that is terrible.

I thought a side effect of Cipro was diarrhea?

Mike, Roger?

Sorta like the flu Rx that can cause nausea, diarrhea, headache, body aches, fever...

I always wondered how you would know if the meds were working or you actually had the flu.

I bought 15 pr of cotton unders to sleep in...and plan to toss them as we go. I hate wearing pj's, and I hate using covers...but since this is all Moms....I need to be "covered".

Toss them overboard? Are you going to write messages on them first???

Please say a prayers for my husbands friend. He woke up yesterday and found his wife dead on the bathroom floor.

OMG What a nightmare.

 

[sk8ingmom]

What happened to the signers of the Declaration of Independence??

Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died.

Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.

Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had two sons captured.

Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War.

They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. Many lost their lives, more lost their fortunes, but none lost their honor.

What kind of men were they?

Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists, eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, well educated, but they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.

Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts and died in rags.

Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.

Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.

At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was all but destroyed and Nelson died bankrupt.

Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife and she died within a few months.

John Hart was driven from his wife’s bedside as she was dying. Their thirteen children fled for their lives. His fields and gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year, he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished.

Maybe that's not the real design.... how about this one?

[/CENTER][/QUOTE]
Great job.

Prayers for the family. My DS20 has a friend who is a survivor from that age (neuroblastoma), and there is so much more they can do now.
