Hi all. Just spent quite a few hours in the emergency room with DH. It appears he may have suffered a minor stroke. They are keeping him over night for observation & plan on running some more tests on him tomorrow. His symptoms were minor & only lasted for a short time, so there is no permanent damage & they feel that this was more of a wake up call to change his lifestyle. The plan is that he will be released & sent home with a regimen of medication. We were suppose to leave first thing Saturday morning for Hilton Head, but now I'm not sure I want him taking that long drive. Guess I will wait to see what happens tomorrow. Doubt I'll sleep much tonight.

Oh Diane, I am so sorry to hear about Mike being in the hospital and possibly having a monor stroke. Sending and for all of you. Please give Mike our best, I can't imagine what you are going through either. Take Care Sweetie, and know your family is on our thoughts and prayers!!!

wanting opinions here...
my ds's went to get a haircut tonite. it's only the 2nd time we've been to this salon. i really like the lady that cuts their hair. my problem is with the owner of the salon. the first time we went in...there was a dog in there. i don't have a problem with dogs...i have one of my own. i didn't really like the fact that the dog had free roam thru the salon...but he seemed friendly enough. he just kept jumping on my kids..and trying to lick them in the face. it all went ok, and my youngest loved petting the dog while the oldest was getting trimmed. so, tonite, we go for a trim, and as soon as we walk in...the dog is jumping on my 4yr old. i told the dog down, and then the owner called him to her. we sat a few mins waiting our turn. then my oldest gets in the chair. i was sitting on their little bench watching my youngest pet the dog...who was jumping all over. then the dog stopped jumping, and nick started petting him. nick squatted down to sit by the dog, and all of a sudden, the dog freaked out...and was trying to bite nick in the face!!! he started growling, and attacked my baby! nick tried to turn away and shield his face, and then the dog grabbed ahold of his arm. now...this wasn't a huge dog, thank goodness! but it was a decent sized one...so it has my ds freaking out now! thank goodness the dog never drew any blood. there was a scratch on the side of his head near his ear where teh dog got him, and his arm has an indent where the dog sank teeth in, but didn't draw blood. i freaked out, and started yelling at the dog, but i couldn't get right to nick, cuz there was a railing in between us. i reached thru adn shoved the dog away...but i couldn't get a good hold on him. i ran to get my ds, and he was ok ....just very startled. the weird thing is...there was nothing there to make the dog territorial...no food, no toys...nothing! and i know that nick didn't hurt the dog...i was watching the whole time. the only thing i think he did to provoke would be to squat down to pet the dog. the thing that makes me mad is that the lady did yell at the dog...but that was it. she made sure that nick was ok..but she never caged the dog, or put it in another room or anything....she just simply yelled at it! i was a little miffed over that, and i still am! now i'm torn over what to do...i like the lady that we use, but not this salon. i'm not sure if there is any recourse...we didn't have to go to the hospital, or anything...but my ds is now acting a little skittish of our dog too. it really freaked him out, and i gotta say it freaked me out too to watch a dog attack my little guy. i think if he had done something to provoke him...it would be easier to explain...but i have no explanation for it! i kinda want to call the lady back, but i get all tongue tied...and i don't want to sound like an idiot for not saying anything tonite. i just was really startled by the whole thing! do you think it's worth a call back tomorrow? i'm not sure what to say? it was really scary...and i want her to know that i'm thinking of not using the salon cuz of this dog...but i'm not sure if i should rehash it or not?
guess this got really long...sorry...i think i just really needed to vent! thanks for listening!

I have been bit several times while reading meters, and I think a call to the Board of Health is in order after reading this. Sorry to hear what happened.

 

[magiroux]

Hey, no problem Stacey, it's just been a bad week and I needed to do a little venting, that's all..............

Hazel also received a call from one of her docs yesterday and he wants her to come in and see him about one of the tests results that came back in the other day. Seems blood was found in her stool sample she had taken just before we left for vacation. He doesn't think it is anything serious, but the unkown is always a bit scary. She sees the doc on April 25th.

Andy, I hope everything turns out fine with Hazel.....I'm sure it will. It seems that if there was any possibility of it being something serious, the Dr would want to be seeing her right away .

 

[Verandah Man]

Yes Shannon I'm here

yikes! that is scary! to you and your dh

I know exactly where it is. I wiil be driving by there next week when I head home to Syracuse for a few days. I'll wave!

 

[Verandah Man]

HEY ANDY!!!!

You up yet????


OK signing off.

As you will find out, I overslept this morning. Waliking around in the cold rain all day yesterday kind of pooped me out, not to mention, my head is all stuffy this morning.

Loved your pics, will you be sharing a link to your other pics of Hawaii. I have a friend that just left for Hawaii this past Tuesday.

Gotta get my ST to school, then come home and get ready for work......

Good Morning

Having a little insomnia this AM, so was doing a little ketchup

Some very interesting discussions going on. With education, I find it interesting how different (quality wise) it is from from state to state, even town to town. In my city, we have a very "top-heavy" adminstration and whenever lay-offs are talked about the cuts are never at that level, which I find interesting. I was pretty happy with the elementary level, but since DD has entered middle school (around here that's 4th grade) I have not been impressed at all.

Someone mentioned charter schools. We just had one open up last year in our city and boy did that cause some trouble. Our school committe took it all the way to the State SC trying to revoke their charter...they lost. But, guess what - they are finally offering more advanced level classes at the middle and high school level. So, I understand the anxiety over the schools loosing funds, but on the other hand, perhaps the competition may be a good thing for the parents and students.

OK time for work. We're heading to NYC this afternoon (no chat ). Unfortunately the weather looks quite crappy for next week. Oh, well- next year Orlando, I think. Someplace WARM!!!!!

Welcome to the best gosh darn thread on the Dis!
Check out the info and summaries in the first post.

This thread has roughly 486 'inside' jokes at this point, so if we don't make any sense it is because of one of 2 reasons:

a. it is a rehash of an old joke from 1,000 pages ago, so just ask
OR
2. we are actually making no sense (it happens more than you might think)

Again, welcome & thank you for choosing Capt. Jack's Reposession Repositioning thread.

makes it seem soooo formal!! this cracked me up for some reason! thank you and come again!!
