You happy with the result?

I'm not

I'm basically in the camp of Patriots were lesser of two evils...

You will be 21! That sounds great, wish I could do that birthday again.

Thanks for subtracting a few years.

Love the sparkly cake. Thanks!

Enjoy the Big One, mine is coming up soon. I'm starting to make plans which may include a GV at VGC and a dinner at Napa Rose, plus a dinner cooked on the grill outside (two different nights) The planning is in the works....

Sounds like a great plan. DH is taking me to Little River next weekend to celebrate.

As I am in the land of cotton....
Old times (and fogies) are not forgotten!

Love it.

Happy birthday to everyone with Feb birthdays and Jan birthdays that I missed last month.

Thanks!

I went back to the urgent care, the doctor gave me 40 pain pills. I certainly wont take all that. At least I got out to the store and walked. I am so greatful. I am using a heating pad on my back to soften it. I will see the chiro this week, now that I am not to tender to be touched.

Here's to hoping the chiro does some good this week.

The hardest part was when my five year old son had the worst allergic reaction he's ever had, and I did not know what to do without health ins.

That must've been so scary.

I found that coedine did not take away my headache either. Hope it is better. Hope they bring back your light.

Checking in from tennis on the smart phone

 

[usnuzuloose]

How was it? Fun I hope.

DS has fun at his tennis lessons. Today, I just hung around enjoying the sunlight and cool breeze. Normally I go for a walk around the park.

Light is still MIA....
Codeine is always the key ingredient. It's just what to mix with it...
It used to be Ipuprofen...but now I seem to need Paracetamol.

Asprin seems to have helped settled things a bit...

Much is to do with whether it is a muscular or more blood flow linked migraine. I have quite distinct types now.

If it's in my neck I'll need Diazepam too...

So much fun

Interestingly although I'd get tired and fatigued at times I didn't get the problem so much at altitude even under quite stressful situations.

So did DS walk home or did you pick him up to go straight to Tennis?

It's interesting...Tennis was my thing too but although it maintains a reasonable fitness, hand eye coordination and is a great sport mentally as well... it never seemed to help in the 'weight management' department so much

 

[PrincessInOz]

Is that a government issued laptop? Or one you purchased?

Its one that the school mandated. No choice...just cough up money.

Is it worth getting him a wheelie bag to help encourage him? Obviously carrying a load properly can help with the 'weight loss' potential. But if it is actually hurting him at times?
I remember my school bags mum would always try and get a version with the metal bars and get them bent to my back shape. But you always get lazy and just fling it on the one shoulder anyway...

He's an only child that his dad has done practically everything for. I'm considering the wheelie bag but will wait and see. The bag he has is a backpack and if you took the laptop out of it, it wasn't too bad. I suspect the compromise will be that I carry the laptop and he carries the bag.

DH is planning on walking him to school tomorrow morning....I wonder how much DH will be carrying??

 

[skiingfast]

The walk is about 1 km to school. He didn't have books in his bag this morning....lunch, water bottle and a laptop. It was the laptop that was heavy.
DS is overweight. We want to encourage him to walk to school and back. It took him 15 minutes this morning (and me about 10 minutes to walk home).

Take away his video games and tv make him find something to do in the yard.

It's good you have him on sports teams, but what does he do when he gets home?

just caught a little of Madonna at the half time Superbowl match. She was great!

Not a bad show.

For those not checking the Boo to us thread, I've lost 2.1 kg in the last 3 weeks. That's nearly 5 lbs.

You happy with the result?

I was fine with it, but I see the Giants of the lesser of the two.

Thanks for subtracting a few years.

Oh really, that just means the Whiskey you got at age 21 is a couple less years from being aged 5 years.

My Godson's other Godfather bought him some nice scotch to drink after aging 21 years.

I picked him up from school, came home for him to change (eat his afternoon tea) and then took him to tennis.

Sport is not DS' thing....any sport. He wanted to give up tennis this year but I convinced him to stay for another 6 months to reinforce the basics.

It's good you have him on sports teams, but what does he do when he gets home?

DH does 30 minutes of exercises at home. DS has to do 15 minutes of running with DH. And then I make him jump on the trampoline for 10 minutes as well.

I think that's why I like it when school starts up. Between all the activities, DS pretty much gets about 60 - 90 minutes of exercise a day during the week (outside of school) and much less time on the video games and tv.

He doesn't like his sport; but his parents makes him do things.

 

[queenie82]

I hated sport too...loathed...
But I did love tennis. It just felt different to field sports and swimming. Just no time to get to the place I was at before anymore.

Your DS gets forced to do more than I did...and especially my brother.

I didn't like sports when I was young, I played soccer and that was it. Did gymnastics and karate for a season each. No interest in anything else. Was very unskilled at other games at school like football, baseball, and basketball during PE or recess.

I live in the east bay outside SF and had an open are near my house, basically a huge undeveloped hill side. So I hiked around it a lot on the weekend and after school.

When I was 8 I went from dirt bike to a new thing called a mountain bike. I rode that bike a lot. Consequently I got very strong endurance. I could just keep runnning and could outlast the other kids playing football or basketball. This got me more interested in playing because I became good. The more I played the more skills I got.
