Something About Nothing..........#5

[coastermom]

Hello all ...

Well there is nothing more crazy then my MIL . She has hit nuts at the all time high . We couldn't even tell them where we went on vacation because they would freak out . Two trips to Fla in one year for me and three years in a row for a family trip would freak them out . ... But we do what we want so it really didn't matter . It is hard to live with them but we just kind of wing it with them .


Still working on the trippie but now we are looking into a trip to Hershey PA in the fall for Halloween. Another trip .

Ok tired tonight so it will be an early night .

See everyone in the morning .

When moving back to WV, we moved 1/2 hour away from the fams so that we could be close enough when we wanted, but far enough away to not have problems.

At age 42, I still have to remind myself that I am not just 2 without the 40 other years when my mom is around.

Left a baby shower early the other day to get my DD to a tennis tournament and me fair mum actually stood up to try to take me over and make sure I said my farewells

Doesn't that sound awful when you see it in print?

My DD and I were watching reruns of the Gilmore Girls the other day and if you remember Lorelei always had problems with her stiff necked mother. She told her mom that it took her years to finally to decide to laugh at whatever her mother criticized her for and that sometimes she goaded her into the criticism just so she could secretly laugh at her mom.

I am trying to remember to do that.

Also, my DD will be 15 on the 19th. Oh, help me with the learning to drive bit.

i tried to teach mine driving and then they pissed me off.
ok, each boy got one turn with me and then their father had to take over.

at least he has done something to help with their raising.......

in illinois, besides the classroom training and behind the wheel training with the school teachers, a kid has to have 40 hours of driving with a parent or adult before they can take their driving test.

so many hours has to be at night and the rest during the day.

i lasted 20 minutes with each of them.
i'm not a good passenger.

i wish you better luck than i had ..........

Hey guys, I have another job interview tomorrow morning so wish me luck!

mummy dust on the way.
hope you get lucky..!!

Hi Homies! Glad to see you've all been holding down the fort. I haven't been online that much because I hurt my back last week and I've been out of commission. I haven't been able to work for a week. I finally went to the chiropractor today, but I'm not convinced they know what they're doing. I'm willing to give it a try for a little while though. If anyone has any experience with chiropractors - good or bad - I'd like to hear about it. DH thinks I'm crazy for going to one! I don't think a regular dr. would do anything but give me meds for it anyway.

Hope you all are doing well! I'll try to check on everyone again soon.

i use a chiropractor and feel very comfortable with him.
i am supposed to go every 7 weeks and have an adjustment. if i have no discomfort, i skip months at a time.
when my hip/back goes out, i sometimes have to go twice in a week.

i was in an accident almost 5 years ago and it did a number on me.

my regular doc says meds and physical therapy. it did not help with relief i needed. i tried it that way and then switched to the chiro.

he has magic hands........

i can go in with a nerve pressing and causing severe sharp pains in one leg.
i come out feeling relief. when my back is really out of whack, it takes a couple of adjustments for the muscles to hold the bone in place.

i always have to ice up after an adjustment and can not sit in any comfy sinking type of chairs for 24 hours after a chiro adjustment.
i sit in straight back hard chairs. it really helps.

my doc does the palmer method which is manipulating bones and joints, etc back into place.

if he is in doubt, then xrays have to be done first.

where is your pain and discomfort located?

tell the Mr. to put a sock in it and stop laughing. i'll tp his house for you to get even but then, since you live with the Mr. i better not as you might be the one that has to clean up the mess......

You will love Hershey in the fall. It's the perfect time of year to visit. We live about an hour from there. Are you going to Hershey Park?

Worked for one for two years, currently seeing one 2x per week--health maintainence, not because of pain. I'd be working for my current chiro full time, instead of on-call, if I had known I wasn't moving this summer.

I have seen amazing results, but the thing to remember--it takes time! Stick to your appointments, your exercises, etc, and you will notice improvement.

The curve in my neck used to be 0 degrees. Now it's over 25! A normal curve is 43 degrees, btw.

Skipping appointments is a big No No!

Thanks - that makes me feel better. And you're right - I'd have to clean the tp up, but I can't bend over right now to do it. I can't straighten up all the way either. I just want to be able to stand up straight!

I just stood up from being crouched down to pick something off the floor, and I couldn't move. It's basically in my lower back. Sitting in a chair hurts the worst.

Thanks for sharing - that helps me a lot! I can't tell anything from my visit today, but maybe after a few it will start to feel better.

Thanks again!

i skip appointments as i have no insurance coverage for the chiro dude.

and he doesn't take credit cards.

he works wonders for me.

he's worth every penny he charges.

i know, if i went every 7 weeks then i would see more steady improvement.

[dlbbwu]

welcome back!!

i figured you were out doing tennis since it still is the season and warm

have not found any tennis things at the disney outlet store near my house. have been twice and will hit it again this week. it's a hit or miss thing on what they have on the day i am there.

i'm gonna look at a sports store when i am out there this week, thinking they might have something with a mickey with it.

if anyone is watching the olympics, what'd think of the usa basketball team?
it was good.........


and a very good morning to all the homies here today.

just think, once it is 5:00, only 4 more work days this week.

Mac:

As usual, THANKS....keep your eyes open, surely something with tennis will open up...surely...LOL
What they need to do is hold a tennis tournament for the pros at Disney, like they do with golf and then I bet something will come of it.

Thanks again!

I think it was something about him saying that it didn't really matter what we called him and Jodie said "I've always liked the name Andy. I'm calling you that." and it stuck because that's just the kind of people we are.

i will freely admit im just too dim to remember the longer screen names

ever since they tore down the courts @ CF, supposedly guests have been directed to GF. It always too humid for us to consider golf or tennis when visiting Orlando...imo, they could use one an indoor tennis facility

I agree indoor tennis courts would be lovely, but for a great workout, they should be outdoor to work up that sweat!!
I have played on the GF courts and they are "ok" imo. Nothing to write home about. I know, your thinking a court is a court. Not really, and I could go on and on and bore you with details, but I am sure nobody wants to be bored
To be honest there were not that many "tennis shops" in Orlando. We always look for tennis shops when we travel.

Mac: keep looking! if you find something...

ive been looking for this info! did u try the ones @ BW? was thinking of booking a lesson there for jr if i can work it in timewise in Oct (and if they still offer them there )

YUP Going to Hershey and we are also going to the mazie maze at Cherry Crest farms . I really want to do the flashlight maze .


Looking into where to stay . We are very torn about the price of staying in Hershy or staying in Lancaster .

Other wise another day of hanging out around here . I hope it gets a little warm to go up to the pool later. I can't believe how Cold it is for Aug. I just hope it doesn't get too hot now in Sept. when the kiddies have to go back to school ...and the teachers too ...

Ok doing some refresher work with my DS and the girls have to get moving soon . They will never get up if i don't move them . Will BBL .

 

[dlbbwu]

Actually, imo the GF were better than the BW. Maybe it was because of the travel time for us (we always stay at the Poly). The pro at the GF seemed more knowledgeable than the BW. Now, mind you my kids already take private lessons and are ranked. So when we signed up for lessons, I kinda had to laugh, the pros at both locations didn't laugh, though, they were impressed. The pro at the BW seemed more interested in the women playing on the other court than my kids. That's my story and I am sticking with it..
