May 10, 2008 Ship of Thieves...May 2008 Repo Thread...Part 12

OK, something very crazy just happened that I've never experienced. After sending Lisa (DL5) a PM, I tried to click on an old PM to see if I could start deleting some old ones, but instead of going to the PM I was taken to the "Unofficial DIS troublemakers" message board! Then I clicked my "back" button and tried to click on page 2 of my PMs....same result. I went back to our thread and tried to click on "Post Reply" with the same result. Tried to click "Quote" to reply to a post.....SAME RESULT. What the heck?! I've never even heard of that board, so are the DIS mods trying to tell me something? I ended up shutting down my computer and restarting and it's fine now. Strange, huh? Or maybe I'm hallucinating!

That's what I got

I am sorry Tyler is having such a hard time. My mom was telling me that every year I would have a breakdown before school started saying the same things he is saying. Everyone would stare at me and call me names (I have a shaking disorder that is rare). I don't remember hateing school but she said I must have blocked it out. She said she also would cry alot for me as she didn't know what to do. You are doing a great job with him and when he is 20 he may not even remember all of this. My mom and I are very close b/c of her support for me.

I'm sorry you had to go through what you did, but it's good that you don't remember it. And it's encouraging to hear you and your mom are close because of your past experiences....I hope the same happens with me & Tyler. I wonder about that because of how he's always saying he can't wait to get back to his dad's. (But I suppose that could just be because he's craving attention from him). Thanks for sharing your experience....it truly helps hearing these things!

Hi guys, I guess I'm first back from the dismeet. It was really nice and the 2 hours absolutely flew by. We took up most of the upstairs room there were so many of us. The kids had a blast, the food was good, but expensive! Most everyone is at DL now, we came home as we are overwhelmed with stuff to do.

Sorry, I was remiss in my photography duty (talking, talking, talking, talking), but here's one:

Kelly, nice words, but dear, your photography skills, ummmm, who are those people and where are you????? Not to worry no one will be reconized

bummer I missed all the fun...I'll have to google to see what I can find and stir up some trouble....

But seriously, I hope these hackers haven't broken into login info and passwords.

If you have never handmade matzo, I will set some aside for you. It is indeed very special. Perhaps we can enjoy some one morning on deck, possibly the Cove Cafe with butter, jam or honey and some very good coffee!

Sounds good Ian! Thanks!

Glad it was a good time!


I can't help but always wonder how against the meds the ex is or is it that he is against anything you want or think may work just to be obstinate?

Oh, it's truly the meds he's against. Both of his sisters were put on Ritalin as kids and he saw bad things happen and is convinced the exact same things will happen to Tyler. He doesn't understand that Tyler is not either of his sisters and treatment is surely different now than it was in the 70s, and his sisters had a different diagnosis than what Tyler has.


Holly, this may be a useful tool for the couselors at kids club. Let them know and plan it out with them, but don't make it time out punishment, just a cool down area. name is something positive.

Very good idea! Thanks for the suggestion. Will definitely talk to them.

Kelly, nice words, but dear, your photography skills, ummmm, who are those people and where are you????? Not to worry no one will be reconized

I'm behind the camera obviously not wearing my glasses or I would have gotten the right side of the room and I got everyone's backs!!!

Don't worry others took far better pics.

... but if you look closely almost everyone is wearing their lanyards

I don't know which of these stories is worse that he may purposely do it or that he isn't updating his own knowledge.

.... of course, I have parents tell me all the time that they still don't believe smoking is all that bad.

 

[edna mode]

I meant to say name IT something positive... hopefully you knew what I meant.

wow, guess I need new contacts, I can't see a single lanyard! Did everyone love them Kelly? Can't wait to get ours....it will mean I am sitting at the Hyatt meeting lots of great people!

Sounds like my parents. They honestly believe their heating system causes their walls to need to be repainted every couple months! They're heavy duty smokers. So bad that if I go to their house when they have been out of town all week, say maybe to bring in their mail & water their plants, when I leave their house my clothes will reek of cigarette smoke! Yup, it's that bad! It's one reason I don't take Tyler over there very often and usually just participate in family get-togethers that take place at my sisters house because she doesn't smoke.

just found this on the main board:


Dis was not hacked. Dis webmasters are trying to prevent people on that other site from linking to pages on the Dis. They screwed up their programming and redirected everyone. This was done by the Dis webmasters.

 

[HollyTyler]

I meant to say name IT something positive... hopefully you knew what I meant.

Yup, figured it out. Actually, my brain read it as "it" to begin with, so I had to go back to figure out what you were talking about here!

 

[gydell]

Did anyone besides me just get directed to some other funky website????

I thought it was just me!

 

[HollyTyler]

My eyelids are slamming shut. Goodnight all.

 

[fourmcds]

A good day today, even though most of it was again at the hospital.

Manuel continued to improve all day, came off of medications, stopped bleeding, and . . .

OPENED HIS EYES!​

Even though there was no consciousness there, it was an amazing improvement. Our favorite nurse, Neil was there tonight, and told us that he has NEVER seen anyone go through this many blood products and survive.

My brother went through 76 units of blood products! That includes blood, plasma, and platelets. Unbelievable. We are hoping and praying he holds this improvement for more than a day, and continues to make additional improvement.

Thanks to everyone for all of your well wishes and prayers!

John, What wonderful news!!!!! He is a very strong man indeed with a great will to live! He'll remain in our thoughts as all of you do....

Where's v and bubba and gaylean...I know there not camera shy...

 

[taysmom]

Oh and I recognized one guy from a pic from the last dismeet, although I have not met him in person...

Get out your magnifying glass and look at the spec on the backs of their necks you'll see a smidgen of green. Believe it or not I'm still making them and still getting orders in for them, so I've got them all organized, but not all completed. The Hyatt lanyards went out tonight with Jackie. Too bad I didn't think about it, I could have sent the Fishlips lanyards with Cheri.

 

[gydell]

John, I'm glad to hear some good news about your brother. Hopefully your family can breathe a little easier now.


WELCOME to the newcomers!


Kelly, do I need to give more money to pay for you mailing the Fishbone lanyards to me?
