[allshookup]

Yes my very first post thanks to Shannon....She has me hooked already. but Im loving it.

Welcome!!! This is the most wonderful group of people you'd ever not met. Really just look at all the well wishes I got from everyone & it shows how caring everyone is. I can't wait for this cruise!!!

And now for the 'money shots'.
Worth viewing full-size if you are so inclined.
Maui surf

Loved ALL the pics! You & your family are beautiful & the scenery is breathtaking!

I chased a black cat under a ladder with a broken mirror this morning. Do you think that was a bad idea?

Thanks! I needed a good chuckle today!

Good Morning All
Just checking in for a few. Our plans changed for this weekend. Instead of driving to Chicago we will be working on the house non-stop and I will be putting it on the market next week. I am still painting and I think it will never end.

I am going to Jacksonville in May with DH for business. The day before my moving sale I have a diser coming to visit me. We are still set to move end of June.

I hope once everything is done and settled I can start visiting the boards on a regular basis.

I miss everyone.

Miss you too Tina! And thank you for sharing your story about your conditions. It helps put things into perspective & I appreciate it.

I would offer her one piece of advice.... RUN!!!!!

Don't get hooked on DIS, you will find yourself up at all hours of the morning, scheduling your life around DIS, stopping in places with free wi-fi just to ketchup, neglecting (as they will put it) your family... wait, that just describes me... nevermind

Um no I think we all have the DISease Tom!

i'm making a list of everyone's comments so i can call the owner of the hair salon. i get myself so tongue tied, and i really don't want to sound like an idiot when i confront her. they have my phone number, and i really can't believe that they never called us today to check in on my ds! ugh!! it broke my heart cuz at lunch time today, my ds was talking to a friend, and he was going on and on about the rotten dog. first he got all serious, and he said..."you gotta see this dog spencer...first he is a black dog...a really really black dog. but then, he'll jump on you, and first he bite you on your face, and your nose...and then your ears...and he likes to scratch too."
oh...it broke my heart!! the poor kid! so i really do thank you all for your comments, cuz when it comes to things like this, i get all tongue tied!

I agree with others suggestions that you should report the dog to the local animal control & let them handle the situation & I would find another place if you can.

dear allshookup: , that this becomes a tiny bump & the
recovery quicker! [i am so sorry for the added stressors...i hope
your vacation works out].* i admire your positive attitudes &
i think your determination will produced good results.

don't mean to be intrusive, but if he is on high b/p meds, may
have caused the s/s ? * iam no doctor..but i work in the medical field,
& i believe looking at the most simple causes, have the best rates for
sucessful problem solving.

Intrusive? Nah I think you will all know my life story before this cruise gets here! He is actually not on any meds right now. In fact to answer some questions that were posted....all his tests have come back negative so far, but they are keeping him in the hospital for another night to run more. The fact that they are negative is a good thing, but it does not mean he did not have a mini-stroke. The doctors call it a TIA, for those NOT in the medical field. Anyway, so far it looks like he may just be put on aspirin since all his lab work & vital signs look great, so we won't have to worry about any special meds. I asked the doctor about the trip & he feels that if these next batches of tests (MRIs) come back negative, than there is no reason to stay home. So we may just postpone it for a day or two. I will let you all know! I want to thank you all so very much for the well wishes. I had quoted them all, but there were so darn many that I couldn't, but please know that I read them all & they are much appreciated!

Happy Birthday!!! Peter / P paulasillars

 

[lbgraves]

No, that's not PETER!!!

It's a CAKE!!!

Of course, silly! It has Happy Birthday on it...then I just added Peter. Why doesn't it show in your quote?

 

[got2travel]

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'm really hoping that I'll find some good news as I keep reading to kethcup.

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!

don't have any advice, but just wanted to offer

The weekend!

Now go buy your supplies and food!!!!

The sn*w that just cleared up from here is heading your way! They are calling for the DFW Metroplex to get PUMMELED tomorrow (possible tornado activity too) and then the front becomes a Nor'Easter and is going to blow through NY (Syracuse, Binghamton etc) with winds around 60-70mpg!!! Not that I believe them but they are saying it's shaping up to be the biggest Nor'Easter in 20 years...

M--thanks for sharing your pics of your trip to Hawaii!!! Our friends from Indy are in Hawaii at this very moment, in fact they called us at noon our time today, as the sun was rising in Hawaii this morning. They were getting ready to have their cup of Kona coffee and had to rub it in that it was alreay 75* there at that early morning hour. They also said they went to a Luau last evening and had the best time. I'm hoping Hazel and I can make it to Hawaii for our 35th Wedding Anniversary in 2010.
