Something About Nothing.........#7

[macraven]

Mac- my goodness YOU were hit by the car???
I hope you are doing okay, stay inside today

yea, i was hit by a car.
runned over but other than bruises and aches, i really am doing fine.

let's see....
i have a double ear infection, i am at the tail end of the flu, some bruises and aches and now dealing with today's ailment.

i am sooo lucky, eh.....

the day before i left on my trip back on sept 30, i went to the dentist for the regular teeth cleaning. i did have a problem with a tooth but was ignoring it.
i made today's morning appointment right before i left.
i have a cracked molar and the molar next to it is crowned.
that molar has decay under the crown.
2 more appointments set up for the next 3 weeks.

i tell ya', my medicals are getting quite near what i paid for that trip i just took.


today i will concentrate on the mouth pain.

mac!!!

u should've stayed in FLA

hope all is right as rain soon for u

i caved & turned on my heat last night, was about to go under freezing & snow forecast...1st time in ages since i've done so before mid-November...and they say it's going to be a mild winter...humbug

have a good weekend all, stay warm

now you are a lucky ducky.
we get snow in october.

i think you just want to keep up with us in the upper midwest and get snow also.

i forgot today is friday and the weekend is almost upon us.

hope you all have a great weekend.......

Mac - Poor you, I hope you have some good muscle relaxers! Well, at least she turned herself in... She was probably on her phone!

no muscle relaxers.
i still have some pills left from my knee surgery i had sept 3rd.
i'm saving them for later today.

you know, it happened so fast, i didn't even notice if she was on the phone.
i wouldn't doubt it though.

i still can't believe i got hit yesterday.
it doesn't seem real still.

Mac - LOL just want to know how you managed that?

Yes.. the first cool front coming in this weekend.. going to be really nice for the beginning of the next work week!

i'm another lucky penny, or green shamrock..........

TGIF all!

Just to let you know...the high tomorrow is supposed to be 77 and the low is 54. Sunday...high of 72 and a low of 54 again. I love it!

and we are to have a heat wave up here this weekend.
it is predicted to hit close to 60.........
but i'll believe it when it happens.

i'm glad you are finally getting a break from the heat.
i lived with it for a couple of weeks and can't complain.
our furnace was running 24/7 the entire time i was gone.

Aw Mac, hope you're feeling better today.

damo, today on my list is mouth pain.

it really is taking my mind off the other aches i have.....


i'm thinking of staying in the house today.
hopefully, i won't fall down the stairs........



i am lucky that none of the bad stuff happened the day before i went on vacation.
that would suck big time.
well, i had the tooth problem but i could still stuff my face so it wasn't that bad on my trip

 

[RAPstar]

Evening all. Feeling better. Will probably start my trippy monday.....or Sunday.

 

[keishashadow]

i got to wake up @ 6:30 am to ferry kid to 1st round of college testing, let the futile scramble for college gimmies begin yet again

no thanx mac, i don't want to keep up with u (either weather-wise or health variety...holy heck, add the flu into the mix too). I prescribe 'another' vacation , this time to rest. We get our share of snow etc., rarely do we drop out of the 60's here in Oct. For last week, we're right on the freeze line. Good thing as it's been raining buckets & we'd be socked in like the folks a few miles yonder from us. So many have lost power cause the leaves r still on the trees & limbs r falling from weight of the snow. I don't believe it's going to be a mild winter as forecasted.

least it's the weekend

 

[macraven]

i have the flu.......

 

[marciemi]

i have the flu.......

Well, that makes sense, since it sounds like everything else in your life was going so smoothly!

Honestly, I hope you feel better out of all of these aches and pains! I spent awhile trying to find somewhere to get flu shots for my boys and me today. Thought it would be just going to Walgreens but they were out of them, and any clinics I could find ended up being for ages 18 & older only. We finally ended up going downtown to the "Diabetes Fair" that just happened to be going on today and getting them there. We got a lot of cool free samples (sugarless cough drops, throat lozenges, thermometers, special bandaids, kleenex, etc.) despite our best efforts to insist that we were just there for the flu shots. Of course before that, we went to the wrong building and ended up at the Hmong Dance festival - I'm guessing you can figure out we didn't quite fit in there - either by age, gender, or looks!

Anyways, the kids get their H1N1 shots a week from Monday at school - not sure when I'll ever be able to get one though.

Good luck Mac!

 

[Metro West]

i have the flu.......

Yuck...sorry to hear. You want me to mail you some chicken soup? I'll have to find a big enough envelope though.

 

[schumigirl]

i have the flu.......

Awww Mac, you are having a tough time at the moment!! Can`t believe you were hit by a car and she drove off!!!

Hope you had a good trip beforehand though, nice pics from HHN with the gang

Stay in bed and get yourself well

I`m off to do some it`s a nice sunny day here today, bit crisp but nice. I was planning to hopefully finish off my trip report, but my boss is looking at new business premises so I offered to go with her and have a look at a couple of places, then it`s the Brazilian Grand Prix later today. Maybe in the week sometime.....hopefully

Have a good Sunday everyone

 

[Cdn Friends of Pooh]

Afternoon all ...

We're back from sunny, hot and humid Florida to cold temps and rain ... I think I want to go back to Florida now - Lee's quite happy to be back to cooler temps ...

Lots to do today after being away for 10 days ...

 

[keishashadow]

[donaldduck352]

Hellow all.mac get feeling better soon.I hope that all the Irish luck I dont have did'nt rub off on ya...
Other then that I'm tired and work tomorrow
Well goodnight all and lets hope Monday is A better day.

 

[Niki Andiokno]

Well......the wife and I will be at Universal on Oct 22, 25 and 26 (doing HHN on Thursday the 22nd). We'd be willing to slam a few and have a generally great time.

I plan on meeting up with Akdar, Inkkognito, Purseval (and others if they'd like) at Finnegans on our HHN night. Perhaps Metro could make it out on a Thursday? I've seen pics of all of them except Metro so I'm hoping I can spot them in the holding area. But just in case I don't...and they can see me....I'm the dude with a shaved head and a beard. My name is Greg, but I will answer to most anything.

My buddies and I will be there that night, too. Would love to meet up. I will try to look at the photos to see if I can recognize anyone. If not, I'll just yell Greg!! I'll be the short strawberry blonde lady with a really tall man and woman.


Mac, my homie! You got hit by a car!! Unbelievable. I hope you are OK. If not, just sue, LOL. Between the car, your teeth and now the flu, you need some If I were up in your neck of the woods, I'd bring you some soup and make a nice hot toddie. Personally, the toddie is much better for the flu than the soup.

Sorry I've been awol for a long time. I am finally trying to catch up with all the HHN news. My Mom moved into a nursing home near me a couple of weeks ago. Before then, it was more fighting with the hospitals and MD's down in P-town. At least I have her settled, and I'll actually be able to enjoy my trip. I leave next Friday to drive down. I am so excited! I really need this vacation. Hope to meet up with some homies down there. I still haven't convinced DH to go to HHN, so the more people I have to scream with the better.

Speaking of screaming, I am afraid I will be a huge screamer. Had an incident at my office on Friday where I screamed bloody murder. It was totally involuntary, and uncontrollable. I was so shocked!By way of background, DH and I own two office condos in a building near O'Hare airport. We have tried to sell,but with the possible airport expansion, no takers. I just came into my office, and I brought my dog with me. He went up to my paralegal's desk and just started going crazy. She has a dog she brings to the office some times, so she figured there must be a treat in her desk. She opens the drawer, roots around a bit, and out pops a RAT! She screams blooody murder. I come to my office door and what is running right at me? The offending rodent measuring about 8 inches body length, with my dog running full speed behind him! i scream like a little girl as well. And I'm not usually a screamer (at least not around rodents.) Rat brushes past my leg, EWWW! The dog slams right into me in hot pursuit, a mere six inches behind him. If you can imagine a football tackle where the defensive player cuts the running back off at the knees, you would have a good idea as to what I looked like. That's right. Niki, flying head over heels, in my good trial suit/skirt.

This was a funny looking rat. He really looked like Ratatouille. He was big and grey with a pink nose. And he was fluffy. Not just furry, but downright fluffy. Not your average sewer or roof rat. The guy down the hall said it was probably just a pet that got loose. WRONG!!! There are more in our basement! Spent the afternoon with the exterminator. I cleaned out everything from the desks, so there is no more food there. I also closed off my office door, which is where they got in. This is just so freaky, its WRONG!!!

So, if anyone meets me at HHN, you have been warned.

 

[keishashadow]

niki - oh nooo, verminthey're not cute or cuddly, good luck giving them the boot. Did the exterminators sign u up for the lifetime maintenance plan...beware...they're worse scavengers than than their prey. Did i ever mention the ex owns a franchise


have a good week all!

did we ever find out if todd got picked for jury duty?

[Coach81]

YEEHHAAAA as expected.. we purchased our Universal / IOA tickets this weekend, and put our down payment on the Royal Pacific Hotel - CLUB LEVEL.. we are so excited!!! We are going to be up there for Mardi Gras!!!!

 

[Metro West]

did we ever find out if todd got picked for jury duty?

My number wasn't picked so I didn't have to go. I was number 543 and they were using 001-339 for that day.

 

[Mad Hattered]

Damn, Mac.....you got the smack down from all angles!!! Hope you feel better soon.

Niki....sounds good to me!!! We'll be on the lookout for you.

One more day!!!!!!!!

 

[macraven]

H1N1 signing in............




niki, i never figured you as a homie that had a pet rat.
glad you got rid of it and all it's little friends also.


you, coach, mad hattir will have a fantastic time at hhn.

wish i was going back.


next year, go for the columbus day weekend.
i'll be there then and so will the regular homies that calls that 4 day weekend their own.

 

[donaldduck352]

Good evening all.Didn't the goverment say the recession was over a few months ago? If it gets any slower at work I dont know what there gonna do..

 

[Niki Andiokno]

Didn't see my little buddy today, but that doesn't mean he isn't hiding in the basement. According to the exterminator, rats are very smart creatures. They do not trust the traps you put out for them. They will wait for awhile while they decide if it is safe. He figures about a month before we can even think about being rodent-free. I just know that I'm sick of not having my own office to work in. And it has only been a day and a half. ARGH!!!!

Trying to get everything done at the office before leaving. I am already a day behind. DH seems to have caught the flu. My paralegal was out today with a headache, so that just made it worse. Got new tires on DH's car. Tomorrow need to clean the house and get an oil change. And, I need to get caught up at work. No sleep for me before vacation.

 

[Worfiedoodles]

Good Morning, Homies!

Mac -- Oh my goodness! Hit by a car? Floored by illness? You are having a really rough time. Sending Mummy Dust, stat!

Niki -- I think I'm grateful I have a cat, hopefully that will keep the little furry friends away...

I was just getting set to by an AP since I convinced dh to go to Uni after the WDW half marathon in Jan., and then I realized I don't know if it's valid from the date of purchase, or first use. I'm thinking I might want to do HHN for Columbus Day or later next year, so maybe I should wait until closer to when I need it around Thanksgiving?
