Something About Nothing..........#11

[SharkyGoddess]

Egads Mac... What are we gunna do with you? besides love ya to death that isBabboo says either you two can rent a couple of scooters and race each other, or he'll rent one and you can ride around on his lap Either way I think it would be entertaining LOL

Are you taking any vit D supplements? If not, you really, seriously, like I am insisting, need to be taking a healthy dose of D3 and having your B12 checked would be a very good idea as well. Being a former Vampire, nothing makes me cringe more than ruined veins. Especially when I know it's ALWAYS tech error that causes them. Some people are more challenging to collect from than others, but there is never any reason to destroy a vein. I will also suggest that should you ever require IV meds again, please talk to your Dr about just going ahead and starting with a port. And my last because-I-love-Mac suggestion... go to your spice aisle and grab some capsaicin, mix it with olive or coconut oil and massage it into your arms and legs at least once a day. This will make those little capillaries happy, which will make them bring in more blood and oxygen, which will lead to those bigger, deeper veins getting more of what they need to be happy and healthy.

This is just a silly note to vent about work, because I have nowhere else to really do it.

Terrible week at work. Been there almost two years, thought everything was great, have even received a mini-promotion. Have now discovered that the "mean girl" network of those above me have it out for me. Of course, the big bosses just don't seem to see how they bully and intimidate everyone beneath them. These mean girls have discovered that the key to winning is to be the first one to make accusations. Very difficult to fight, because if you do, the bosses assume you are just trying to deflect things from yourself. Luckily I have very strong supporters in my direct boss, and every single person I work with. Later today I will probably be called down for the inquisition. I don't expect an execution, but there may be several torture devices in use. My plan is to take the higher road, confident that I always try my best to do the right thing, and sleep well at night.

So, if anyone has lasted reading this long, just take a quick moment to wish me good vibes.

thanks for your advice, it is always appreciated.
i have hasimoto's disease and on meds for 27 years now.
B12, yes, due to the intrinsic factor issue.

switched endo doc late last year and the Alpha 25/vit d test was done on the panel she wanted.
vit d levels came back as a "7" level.
started prescription ergo 50,000 iu weekly.
retested july 1st and levels normal this july so that med discontinued.
finished up the meds i had left though.
last friday labs again for the other issue and the vit d test added on after the draw.
levels dropped all the way down again after being off ergo 7.5 weeks.

good thing i had the medical emergency or i would have never known i was sick again.........lol

i'm sure it will all be figured out soon and new meds started again.
i kind of go with the flow and deal with issues as they come.


as long as i have breathe, i will be doing hhn for years to come......


would i feel like a greased pig if i rubbed that capsaicin and oil all over my body?
kewl.

almost forgot to ask this, are you two going to be in the park before it closes on the 5th?
or are you going to come back in like you did last time when we met up?

 

[SharkyGoddess]

Olive oil is heavier so it will leave a greasier trail, but coconut oil is very light and absorbs quickly. I personally prefer coconut oil.

The thing about vitamins that many Drs either don't know or don't think about is once the store is used up, that's it... it's gone. So while you tested "normal" after taking supplements, the proper protocol would have been to reduce your dosage since obviously your body either can not absorb the needed nutrients or can not keep the stores (IOW your body dumps them beyond regular cell usage). Take me for example, I have pernicious anemia. My body refuses to take in B12 from my diet and is prone to sucking up what little store I can build up through monthly injections. The result, I become a human slug due to my RBCs being starved of oxygen which then causes my major organs and muscles to run slooowww. blah

I fully plan on being in the park before this time. Last time we ran back because one of us needed something, but I can't remember what now. Are we getting together for dinner before too?

i've been trying to get the finnegans ressie for additional number.
i have 4 right now and with you, Mr you, marco and myself, that will work.
pax already has his ressie for 2.

if you see a better time that is for 6 peeps, grab it.
trying to get a table for 6 and not at 3:30 that sunday.
check opentable when you can, ok?

i have a good story about vegetable oil........
i'll whisper it to you when i see youse...


last year i think you all left finnegans around 4ish and took the kids back to the hotel and got them food.
then you and i played phone tag to meet up with each other around 7:15 that night.

Just checked, Fins on mobile app shows 3:30 or 7pm and after, but the online open table shows nothing with in 2 1/2 hours of 4pm... I'm confuzzled. But I'll keep looking. I had a thought too, since Purge is basically the area around Fins are they even allowing later reservations? AND... what time is Pax & Dora's reservation for?

Paaaax... paging Mr. Paaax

 

[Pax]

They'd just be best off giving us a six seater. The yelling across the restaurant is just going to annoy them.

"HEY SHARKY... WANT TO TRY A CHICKEN STINGER?? MAC... PASS THE SALT? I DON'T LIKE THE CUT OF OUR SHAKER'S JIB!!"

Are salt shakers aerodynamic?

I'll take a turn carrying Mac. I'll invent a Macpack.

I'm bad at following the thread Sharky, your man doing okay?

Dora and I are getting unreasonably excited now. I'll make them install Betelgeuse-esque ziplines if it means we all have another great time.

I've been looking for bigger tables too, but no luck. I'll keep on it.

Hysterical! The hubs and I were just talking about you as I was trying to find you to PM and get your ressie time. I just said "hey look, Pax was just on 3 minutes ago... Oh! He was responding to me."

Flying salt shakers would certainly keep things interesting in there along with my loud mouth trying to stay in everyone's conversations. Add alcohol and I damn near become combustible

I'm thinking of just calling hourly and whining that I need a table for 6 on our date at 4:30ish? Or should I request a different time?

 

[Pax]

Sharky...

I think our ressie is 4:30 (I could be wrong though... wife'll tell you so. We have one every Sunday). Usually allows time to get in, get drinks and food, and get out before houses opening without being in a hurry.

Man it's gonna be a great evening. We're getting the band back together

Pax

 

[Pax]

Great minds hey?

Pax

 

[macraven]

the ressies that i do hold are for 3:30.
sunday the 5th and 12th
i usually book for 4:00 as they usually run behind in setting you for the time you booked.

but, they have been booked pretty solid for some time periods the last 4 weeks i have been checking.
to the end of last week, 3:15 was the last ressie available for groups of 2-4-6 when i was checking.


well, some nights they run close to time but not on the weekends when i have made them at finnegans.

sent you both a pm

 

[SharkyGoddess]

have mercy the internet here is sloooowwww..... UGH! Someone needs to seriously tell the marriott bunch to catch up with the rest of the world.

 

[keishashadow]

It's in my siggy. But her name is Phantom

ah ha!

all this talk of coconuts & finnegans is making me.

 

[RAPstar]

I'm not sure I even want to look at Finnegan's this trip. I've eaten there so many times by now I think I've had everything on the menu lol. Well that and all the reservations for SnS are gone lol.

 

[macraven]

Man it's gonna be a great evening. We're getting the band back together

Pax

 

[psiprez]

Thanks for your kind thoughts, macraven and SharkyGoddess!

And mac, I could not help but notice we have been on the boards for almost the exact same amount of time. I used to have a high post count, but it disappeared. I am sure we must have crossed paths at some point over the past decade... maybe on "the other side"?

 

[Bluer101]

Quick drive by.

Dads out if icu and in step down now. Doing better each day.

 

[Lynne G]

Good news for your Dad. That's good to hear Bluer.

Busy Thursday. Kids have actually suggested family vacation next year - no amusement parks. Huh? That's been our MO for at least the last 6 years. Hmmm. Maybe to get the use of my Universal AP, I may take a no kids trip in the spring. We will have to see. I am not a real long plan planner when it comes to vacations. I tend to look around when Southwest opens its books.

Getting ready for the week-end!

Hope all are doing well!
