I didn't save the quotes because they were way too emotional, but I loved reading everyone's stories about their "miracle" children. Even the miracles who have gone on to brighter and better places. :angel:

As I mentioned before, I work as a pharmacist in a pediatric intensive care unit. (I do what Roger does - only for children instead.) And we have a NICU next door as well as a very specialized surgical cardiac intensive care unit. Did I mention this is a free-standing children's hospital so they're all less than 21 years old? We're a very busy place - referral center for most of GA and some surrounding areas depending on the diagnosis.

Anyway, I really do love my job, but it can be depressing and challenging sometimes so it is so nice to hear the family sides of the stories. The "what happened after they went home?" Sometimes they come back to visit, but mostly we're left to wonder. So thanks again for showing me another reason why I do what I do! :goodvibes

The NICU that Sarah was in (Atlantic City Medical Center) has a reunion party every once in awhile. We went to the first one when she was a little over a year old. I reslly don't know if they stopped doing this or if you only get invites (reminders) if you are younger. I'll have to look into it now.:goodvibes The NICU doctors and nurses loved to see how their patients have progressed.

Our NICU use to do the same thing. They would have a picnic every summer and it would be amazing to see kids that were only a pound or two all grown up. Not sure if they still do anymore though.
 

Actually, I think that Melinda was just as good as Sabrina (the last girl).

There were 4 girls that I really liked. I'm sorry to say that none of the guys impressed me on Tuesday.

Now the conflict starts - do I watch the Idol reveal or Survivor tonigh?

"fee sprinkles!" ......yeah, baby! [i saw what deserts you was posting
last night, you are a swashbuckler in the middle, :dance3: pirate: :dance3:
 
Ohh, I'm so sorry about Tinkerbell. Did you really want to be her? I assume you did since you know you're too tall. I mean like really really, or just a dream? Either way, I'm sorry. Kinda weird to be too TALL for something I bet. :(

I have to wear heels too if I don't want to look like a munchkin or something, and my DH isn't even all THAT tall. He's 5'11 & 1/2.. Unfortunately I hate wearing heels, so that doesn't happen often. LOL


My feet got bigger with pregnancies too- or maybe the weight I gained with pregnancies? I used to be size 7- solid 7 and nothing bigger. Then for awhile I was wearing 7.5's... recently (past year or so) I've noticed that more often than not, size 8 in most shoes fit me better and are more comfortable. What's weird is that even overweight and even with my feet "growing" (or rather getting smooshed bigger by my weight? LOL probably) they are still narrow and skinny. the only skinny part of my body now. LOL So I have narrow but longer feet- so I get the bigger size. So I guess I've gone up a full size throughout the years? I hope it stops and doesn't continue. I don't want to have to replace my entire shoe wardrobe.. I still have 7.5's that fit but if my feet grow anymore, at all, they won't!

I think they are just changing the sizes of the shoes. I also was a solid 7, now range from a 7 to an 8, mostly closer to the 8.
 
You know, I've never been there myself, but my dh has once (business lunch, believe it or not) and our neighbors eat there with their kids and they all tell me it's really not that bad. Our neighbors have brought Hooters wings over for football parties, and they are great.

Although...I'm not familiar with their menu...do they offer non-meat or seafood entrees?


We don't have one here but in VA DH's office would go there for lunch for a bday or when someone was leaving. He always told me beforehand & said that the food wasn't even that good.
 
I think your estimate is low. I had lunch yesterday with a friend of mine who is a broker . . . he went to give an estimate on a one bedroom apartment on Park Avenue (in one of the "really desirable" buildings) . . . yes, it had a big living room and a terrace, but it was a one bedroom. He estimated 17 million, which is insane -- it sold for 26 million! It sold to the head of a financial firm who has a big mansion in Saddle Brook, NJ, but wants a pied-a-terre in the city for entertaining.

:scared1: :scared1: :scared1:
 
Thanks for the good luck.

My brother just left. It looks like it's the auto ignite switch. I've got a call in to a repair shop.

At least it's relatively warm out today. The house is at 56 right now.

:grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: I know the feeling...
 
:sad2: My 7th grader goes to an afterschool program called "Homework Assistance" because he continually forgets the homework AND the agenda! Maybe after a year of this, he'll decide he'd rather be on the baseball team, and finally get his *shirt* together.

:lmao: :rotfl2: :rotfl: :lmao: :rotfl2: :rotfl: :lmao: :rotfl2: :rotfl:
 
Our school now e-mails progress reports every Friday, it really helps to stay up with what the kids are doing.

And how did you get them to come right home and do their homework? The beatings didn't work here. ;)


Which reminds me of a pirate shirt I saw in San Fran:



The Beatings Will Continue Until Morale Improves :lmao:

DD's JR High has a website where we can look at their grades. Not all of the teachers use it yet (it will be a requirement next year) but all of DD's teachers do. They are also good about updating it, at least 3 times a week.
 
:banana: Yep, you're right!:banana: His name is Florentin. In 1/05 he was just a photographer and then was promoted. Unfortunately he didn't seem to be working with the guests any longer. Big mistake!:sad2:

He and DD hit it off immediately! As a matter of fact, we were picked as Shutter's Family of the Week!

They have a family of the week?? Do tell!!
 
pirate: Pirate Joke of the Day pirate:
...filling in for Esteri


After a particuliarly long fight at sea the winning captain comes ashore to find a large crew of media. The reporters fight to ask questions before the Captain finally singles out one attractive, young reporter, who asks: "Captain, Where did you learn such amazing tactics? was it the Navy?"

The Captain, obviously amused replied:


"Well it sure wasn't the ARRRRRmy!"

I also enjoyed the first girl & Jordin.

Isn't it nice to not have to stand on your tip toes to get an item from the top shelf at the grocery store?

Toes??? Heck, I've been know to stand on the bottom shelf. Or maybe even the 2nd shelf if the item I need is in the back of the top shelf.

I'm 5'5", but DH is 6'4". I got the short genein our family. Mom is 5'8", Dad 6'1", both brothers 6'2". Even DD5 is tall. I expect she'll be taller than me by Jr High.

I got the little Italian grandma jeans-I'm the runt of my family. My mom was 5'9", dad is 6", brothers are 5'11" and 6'. I just hope DSs got DH's height. His family is in the same height range as the rest of my family. 5'2" isn't so bad if you are a girl, but I bet it isn't easy for a guy.
