DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN! Part 2

[pigget74]

I just talked to my pastor's wife. She was taken off life support this morning. She is an organ donor, so they are going through that process right now. I cannot imagine how unbelievably difficult this must be. Did you know them?

Oh, I was told that they had to test her organs first to see if they were still viable---then they would donate what they could and then pull her off life support tonight or in the morning. I guess they are finished testing the organs. Either way --I could only imagine the pain the parents are going through. This was their only child.

I was friends with her aunt. The Richards are very close the them and that is how I was informed this morning. Rhonda called me when she got the news.

Still not totally caught up, but needed to post.

Melinda...How is DD's friend? I hope she learned her lesson! Kids don't think at all. (Me among them when I was a teen!) Hopefully her parents will not blame your DD and realize it was their childs fault. My prayers are with them.

UM...Is your better? Sometimes you can irritate the lining from too much "twigs & sticks". Give it a rest!

Bee...Don't let Grumpy being gone inhibite your healthy eating. I know it is hard for me to eat well when DH isn't around for dinner. It's soooo much easier to make nachos!!!

OK...Almost time to head home...FINALLY!!!!

I'll be back later from home. DH won a laptop at Christmas from work and we are thinking of setting it up instead of the big PC. Maybe tonight!!!

Told ya! I'm not here on the Dis to edit obviously ... I didn't properly check my bolding on that last post.

SORRY!

AHR

I'm Having computer problems, I posted to you early this a.m. my computer didnt cooperate - and the post went "poof" Mostly you did answer me tho... funny that!! I did want to add I'm also up here in the cold frozen regions of IL - near Hawthorn Mall if you know what I mean!! And about that edit job... I was contacted by someone (maybe you!!) to work as a proofreader... I was sent a standard "test" but real life got in the way, and I never got a round to it!!

I am trying to stop using the word whilst but it just keeps popping in.

Like aldisney posted, I hope you dont, I do so enjoy reading it - and BORG the books I've been reading are using it, so now when I read whilst I think of PeepJo!!

I'm wearing a smaller bra today, and I must say, I am feeling a bit perky!

perky posts I thought I posted about my own perky moment!! While (whilst) in Chicago I noticed my cousin had droopy syndrome and said, get a new bra... so like a good sister, she did, but I had to keep going out and bringing in new bras... I told her to get measured, but no, she's stubborn... and well I didnt like the selection there anyway (Macy's) but I realized, she would find a better fit at Lane Bryant, but she is so hung up on the "number' on the bra, she'd rather droop than fit...

SO, dont get hung up on the number Peeps, let the girls stand up and be proud!!

Coming out of lurkdom just to...

Yeah, another one posted!! Keep on comin

Princess V - LY/MI do what you have to do, by all means, but do know you are loved here, and you belong - remember Monica went and got herself knocked up, and we wouldnt take goodbye from her neither - so just know, you are needed round here, lurk and post when you find a moment..

I'd also like to add (should I post my pic again??? OK< it is me in a bathing suit, but I cant post it today, too many computer glitches... not even sure if this will post..
I too was quite fit in my day. Now not so much, but I still dont look at me as fat, I do get *duh moments... like when I see me in a picture... but life is so short... and today matters. I matter. I KNOW that I am here for a reason, and for today I know I owe it to myself to do the healthy bit better...

Have you ever heard of Cala Pickney? Callenetics? She was a dancer, and broke her back, gained weight... and then revised some of her dancer movements, and got fit with slow easy movements... which I think are similiar to what today is Pilates... so go, find what works!! (www.callanetics.com)

You have a lot on your plate (why does it always come back to food???!! ) But no this... I am selfish, I need all the friends I can get!! Please be my friend!

(another day perhaps and I''ll repost me in a bathing suit 25 years ago that!!)

 

[snowwite]

I need strength and will power. We having a birthday thing today--choc. cake, choc. icing, with choc. covered strawberries. I don't like cake that much, but this looks fine and I know the baker. OK--I am in a choc. food--aunt flow should arrive any moment.

How did you do? When I absolutely must have something I have a small piece and then behave the rest of the day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How is everybody else doing?
I am depressed because I didnt lose any weight. I have been 122 for weeks! I cant get the darn thing to move.Maybe the scale is broken I know wishful thinking!

 

[eeyore45]

 

[snowwite]

ME TOO! Perky ONLY when stuft inside a wonderbra PUSHUP. They're practically upside down!


At least we're not talking about poop!

Must learn not to drink while reading funny posts! I spit my tea!

 

[eeyore45]

What do you think?

I read some of you arent so much liken spiders, so how's this?

or the current siggy pic??

 

[eeyore45]

Well, I was just reading the WISH forum the FAQ Marathon/Race stuff... quite a lot to take in!!

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=725285

It sounds like we should plan on being there the Thursday before the race...

and maybe leave on Monday... and not plan on doing many parks/rides...

This might be more work than I thought!! (ie running a half marathon!!)

and I noticed, I"m talking to myself again!!!

 

[Wonders10]

WOOOOHOOOOTY on that 200th post! Good save on the little "slip up". I am right there with you in the sickness area. I woke up Sat. AM with a throat that was killing me. Well, then I started sneezing, and now I am stopped up and my nose is running. I am trying to drink tons of OJ. DH slept upstairs last night to keep from catching it. He will probably have to spend tonight up there too.

Good luck with your cookie baking business! Are you still in school too? I know you were trying to decide. If you are, you are one determined woman!

Yes I thought about it and realized I was just under a little too much stress at school, hence my reasoning that quitting so close to the end was a smart idea. But I'm staying with the program and school is my first priority, but when I get some free time I am working on my website, will be designing business cards soon, and I'm just thinking of all the little things I need to think of. For right now, the cookie business (offically named "The Cookie Jar" - those are my colors by the way.) is a break from school and all the stress. I'm sure if I ever get any orders I will feel different but I will welcome them because I could use the $$$$.

[the Fidge]

YOU are not talking to yourself!! Thats my job! I am certainly loving the "love" glboe much better than the spiders!!!!

 

[jess98ac]

I HAVE to get to the gym 3 times this week..Wed, Thurs, AND Sat. I didn't go today...I have a HORRIBLE sinus headache...to the point where my stomach is upset and it's making my eyes water. Tomorrow I have a hair appt...SO...Wed, Thurs, and Sat it is!
Eating is going well, just need to keep that part up, too.

 

[dance2874]

OK, need some fast Mom help here...how high does a fever have to be before I should be concerned?? My 4yr old has a fever of almost 102. Is that scary high or just high? I have been giving her tylenol all afternoon, but she was late getting it when she was sleeping and her fever crept up. Any tips?? I am giving her popsicles and lots of fluids but the poor thing is still on fire

 

[mousehouselover]

MENARPUTZ! But at least they take out the garbage!

My little man does that, not the big one.......... The big one got a decent nights sleep and didn't get too bent out of shape during PT today.

I start back to work next Monday! I am so depressed cause I have no self control! Dan has been gone for 3 weeks this week and I have eaten BADLY! I have not lost any weight.. I had to buy clothes to start my new job. FAT clothes. My fat clothes are tooo tight.. I need to be more disciplined.spelling)

Dan and I are gonna start selling Tupperware. (hopefully we will do well)

I need to Lose weight!! I thinkI am gonna go and drink Slim fast twice a day for meals and eat once a day. to get a jump start.. (please dont flame me)

I am your biggest cheerleader.. and I am so proud of all of you. I am just not good to myself.

I just keep getting bigger and bigger.

Dan and I are planning on coming to the 5k next Jan. That is my goal!!!!

You will get there. I said tha same thing myself many times, I'm not eating well, my clothes don't fit, I don't like the way I look........ and I didn't do anything about it until the first of the year. One of my friends told me I'll know when the time was right. I found the peeps and got my mind together and now I'm working it. Keep cheering us on and you'll be working it right along with us before you know it.

I'm wearing a smaller bra today, and I must say, I am feeling a bit perky!

I want to have a perky party!!!

But that is sometimes the only exercise I get daily is the bending over to scoop them up!!

I laughed so hard that I almost wet my pants!

me too.....those 3 liters of water are running through me and now this....

anybody in Sioux Falls South Dakota??

I grew up there and I still have family there. Where is he staying? Does he need to know anythinhg? If he goes into the HyVee on Minnesota and 33rd after 3pm my sister is working the customer service desk, tell him to say "Hi!" We miss him........

Oh, I was told that they had to test her organs first to see if they were still viable---then they would donate what they could and then pull her off life support tonight or in the morning. I guess they are finished testing the organs. Either way --I could only imagine the pain the parents are going through. This was their only child.

How sad. My thoughts are with them.

I'll be back later from home. DH won a laptop at Christmas from work and we are thinking of setting it up instead of the big PC. Maybe tonight!!!

I love our laptop. DH is on it almost all the time but when he goes to bed, I have it all to myself! I really like getting cozy on the sofa and DISing or just surfing. It's hard to play VMK unless I have to mouse hooked up though.

UTM~ I hope DH got some sleep today. I used to work that shift and it was hard to have any family time. I felt like life was passing me by.

SpongieMisty~ I hope Mayson is feeling better and you got a bit of rest too.

Lex~ I hpe the art fart boy feels better without the cast and that DD #2 didn't need one.

WWOOOOO HHOOOOOOTTTTTYYYYYs for all the post counts and 400pg/6000th post on the thread!

I'm sure there is more that I wanted to say but it escapes me at the moment.

I was good today! I stayed in my points limit and I don't feel hungry. I've had 3 liters of water too. I have to hit the TM yet tonight.

I'm so it's crazy, and they're predicting snow overnight......... I want to go back to FL.

I didn't want to quote the "pic" post, but you were HOT Eeyore!!! You are still that HOT lady too!

I am having siggy envy! I NEED that Lady and Tramp snowglobe! (eyes are green with envy!)

I love the colors. They are the same as my profile page! Glad you are staying with school. It will help you with your business in the long run. Let us know when you are ready for orders.

Ok, peeps the allergy/sinus crud is taking over my body. I'm not sure how much longer I will stay on. DH recommended me taking NyQuil tonight. He is going to sleep in his office again. He has a twin bed up there, and it has his XM radio. I think he secretly "likes" it when I get sick. Then he can go to his little retreat.

My Dr. considers that "just high" not dangerous high. I think 104 is dangerous. I always gave my kids a lukewarm bath. Not cold because it will make them shiver, which will make the fever go higher. Try keeping cool compresses (like a wet washcloth) on her head and neck. That will keep her comfortable. I hope your baby gets better soon. Give her a big kiss!

Oh, and you can rotate between Tylenol and Motrin. Give her a dose of Tylenol, and then two hours later give her Motrin, then two hours later, Tylenol. Keep rotating until you can get her temp. down. If that doesn't get her temp down after the second Motrin dose, I would call the Doc.

 

[dance2874]

Thanks!! I didnt want to call the Dr after hours line for something I knew another mom would know. I thought she was probably OK, but just wanted to check.

 

[aldisneygrl]

Our Pediatrician has started charging $25 for after hours calls! I only call if it is really an emergency, and I see blood!

Try the Motrin thing, it will at least make her more comfortable, and maybe she will sleep, and that will help heal her too. Good luck! (that one is for you and DH) Having a sick baby is hard on the whole family.

 

[dance2874]

O

ur Pediatrician has started charging $25 for after hours calls! I only call if it is really an emergency, and I see blood!

OMG! that is crazy! Way to make a parent/patient feel like an inconvenience, huh? Thanks for the hugs too- it has the makings of a long evening here. DH is at work until about 9, it is only 7:15 here now. I am trying to keep her awake a bit now because she took a 3 hr nap today- from a child who hasnt napped in close to a year! So I want her to stay up for a bit and eat before I have to give her more medicine.
