Hi!
I have a thread on the CB about this (I am ridiculously brave to do that), but no one has the answer yet....have you guys heard the phrase "to be hasselhoffed"???? I looked on urban dictionary, and none of the answers work for the situation.
Basically hubby's temp work computer at his Brand New Job (stress over reason for having to find new job being one reason I've kept to myself) has bit the dust after only 3 days. He took it over to the main Redmond campus for them to do something snazzy to it and get "permissions" on it so he could do his job, and it's toast. (which is just hilarious seeing as how he works at microsoft now...short term contract position with high possibility for contract continuation) It's not his position to fix it, so he has tried to get the IT guys out...they haven't. He called to see what was happening with his request, and the guy told him "oh it looks like you've been hasselhoffed".
Is there a definition that fits this situation, that isn't easily found using google???
We're mystified.
Oh you should! Not that we've found the time for it ever since finding DLR, but it's lovely and beautiful and gorgeous and worth it.
We took Amtrak up from Seattle when we went...so much nicer than waiting in a line (even if we could see...hmm, is it Jane that works up in Blaine???) at a border crossing.
CST is awesome awesome stuff that LOOKS like the biggest crock of ____ that ever existed, but it's awesome. Upledger.com should have links to lots of info on the theory.
Basically people who have a "license to touch people" can do it, so you'll generally find it done by chiros and massage therapists.
Even before I adjusted wee E's spine I took him to an LMT who did newborn CST, and not only did it change the shape of his head (funky labor = funky head shape), but it eliminated the bit of "tongue tie" he had that was making my nursing life suck, and not in a good way! He could open his mouth much wider and he seemed less uncomfortable. Brilliant.
When I first had it done, I didn't have to wear my glasses for well over a month (and I was something like 20/400? it was as bad as my eyes ever got...they were stable for years before I had lasik done), and no one asked "are you angry about something" for about 2 months because my face was so so relaxed after the session.
It helps with all sorts of other things too. And it's somewhat similar to the type of chiro I used to do, which was Network Spinal Analysis...they both focus, in different ways, on the cerebral spinal fluid and energy...both can have really good benefits on people with fibro.
If I ever decided to do bodywork again, I'd get my chiro license back (just a matter of a year's worth of cont.ed. classes and a chunk of money), get CST education, and just do CST.
Melody I'm so sorry to hear about the baby. Hugs to everyone.
And to everyone else with health stuff going on, hugs as well!
Hubby finally got a diagnosis (the other reason I was keeping to myself), it's a pituitary growth that's pumping out prolactin (milk-making hormone) and causing his male hormones to be close to zero...very very likely the reason for no subsequent baby, and his endo will likely treat both for the prolactinoma and for the low male hormones, to help speed the latter part up for baby purposes.
It explains SO MUCH from the last few years, and sadly, if any of the MDs and NDs he's seen in the last couple years had *listened to him* and done the bloodwork we begged his endocrinologist to do (it had nothing to do with his blood sugar), this could have been found so much earlier and we might have a whole passle of babies already. We're getting records from those previous "health care providers" to see if anyone saw anything that they passed over... They all ignored his "I think there's something wrong with my 'swimmers'" comments because I'm older than he is, and they figured it was my "fault".
It's a relief to have such a relatively simple diagnosis, especially since it explains just about everything...but it's ridiculously frustrating that it likely could have been caught earlier if the professionals had gone as above and beyond (by listening to him) as his endo has. (if anyone needs an endocrinologist in Seattle, this guy's good)
. I've been picking my sisters kids up from school 3 days a week and watching them. One of the neighborhood girls is always here. Then I have people asking me here and there to watch there kids. On Friday, I was watching 6 kids plus my 3 (9 kids
).
I'm not kidding when I say that nobody here besides my family cares. That's one of the reasons why I'm so eager to move. 
My bf and I made a few attempts to watch Up in 3-D but were unsuccessful 
Finally today, we tried one more time but the tickets sold out. I just said, forget it, let's just watch it in 2-D. The theatre was practically empty for the 2-D version, which was nice. The movie was awesome and I enjoyed it so much. My bf laughed at a couple of scenes (he laughed harder than I did). 
It did make me cry, in fact, it made me cry 3 times. I just couldn't hold back the tears and just cried. Thank goodness I had tissues with me. Someone sitting to my right was crying and I could hear them blowing their nose and sniffling so I didn't feel like a big baby.
