Another Unofficial Chatterbox Thread- Everyone is Welcome!

[sameyeyam]

I wish my apartment would stay at the perfect temp, perfectly all the time.

Too cold and now too hot- UGH!

Welcome to my world...first I'm hot, then I'm cold, sweater on, sweater off, window open, window closed, stand by the fireplace, rush outside to cool down. How old is your apartment? Perhaps it's just going thru "The Change".

If only taking down the decorations were as easy at Photobucket makes it seem. Do you supposed I could come home one day and my house will just say "This Christmas Stuff has been Moved or Deleted"??

Hi Ladies,

I'm going to try and make this as short as possible.

I think you all know that I was supposed to be at DL today, and going to Club 33. Well over the weekend, my stepfather who we all love very much passed away. My Mom was with her side of the family for a huge gathering for Christmas, and my stepfather was with all of his children up north when it happened. (They had their own little special Christmas together before they left last week.)

Well, right after we had all finished our big meal on Saturday, I got a call from my stepbrother Jeff, informing us of the terrible news. So what started as a wonderful day with all of our family, ended in a tragic one.

My Mom is devasted, and I cry for the loss of him, and to see my Mom so sad. That is the hardest part..... To see her so sad.

Well I just thought you all should know what is going on.

Melody

Im so sorry Melody.

 

[sameyeyam]

Hi Megan. I just sent Melody a PM, but I think she just left as I was getting on, her green light just went off.

Sending more hugs your way Melody.

Sooooo.... I got to spend my birthday evening in L&D. Darn contractions wouldnt stop. They kept coming and coming... and Frelan was DONE. He packed me up and off we went. Of course.... as soon as we got there, they stopped. But thats good.. So they sent us home.

 

[sameyeyam]

Long day today...kinda tired, but thought I would pop on and say hello to everyone before I head to bed.

Hubby finally went to the hand specialist today.
Had a long wait and then felt rushed thru the door by the doctor.

A fellow did the exam and had dh do some odd exercices and movements to test everything- not explaining WHY and what he was looking for and then proceeded to measure the flexion degree of the broken finger - squish - ow! - squish - ow! .. all while saying NOTHING. Dude, work on your patient communication skills huh?

Anyway, got done with exam and doc ordered a brace to be made. Handed us two slips of paer and said "see Mike" and walked out. UMM HUH? Oh wait, Mike was the nurse right?

Wait, wait, wait some more in the hallway.. Mike was busy. Two other staff walked by-- ignoring us.

Finally Mike looks at the papers, hmmm therapy doesn't have time to make the brace today. He quickly put together a temp splint- better than the previous one. And we got pushed out the door- with a wet, semi hard splint on hubby's arm.

Need to go back in the morning for therapy to make the real brace to wear for three weeks.
Pinky and ring finger will be together at a 50 degree angle. Made for an interesting experience smoking a cigg in the car with his temp splint, he missed the window and the lit cigg fell by hubby's feet, while we were driving downtown. Quick stop before going on the highway ramp to kick it out, he's made a burn hole on his seat already.

Moral of the story: DO NOT play Mercy with 12 year olds! You will NOT win.

Holy crap!

Don't do that!

 

[staley7580]

Hey Bernice!

 

[staley7580]

Holy crap!

Don't do that!

Trust me... I have no further plans to visit there. Until I am AT LEAST 36 weeks.

NO!!!! It's not time yet. Keep the buns in the oven for a few more months. So did they put you on bed rest yet?

hmm maybe.. Very 60's looking architecture in the stairways.. a young age to change?

The ever changing temp outside doesn't help.. it was warmer at 5 am then it was at mid day today.

Don't you hate it when you go to a doctor's office and they don't really tell you what to do?? Are you supposed to wait here?? Is someone coming back?? Do I just leave?? Do I need a prescription and they have just forgotten about me??

Second Moral of the Story....quit smoking before you burn the car down!

 

[staley7580]

No... But I see my doctor on Wednesday, and I am sure she will then. They upped how much water I am supposed to drink, and said to rest as much as I can.

Melody- I'm so sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and your family during this difficult time.

Sounds like a plan-- did you inform your aliens of this plan? Tell them they will be grounded for a long long long time if they dare come out too early!

No toys, no games -- now behave!!

 

[eatmypixiedust]

Happy Birthday Staley!

I did... so far, they seem okay with it. You should have seen my super stressed out husband driving to the hospital in rush hour traffic.
