Something About Nothing...........#8

[Tinker-tude]

Sounds like everyone is ready for the big game.

We're always ready! Because we're not football fans and don't watch.

Mad, the food sounds loverly. Maybe you could combine the pepper recipes and call them Buffalo Tail Turds. My DH LOVES hot food, so I think I want to steal your recipes. Janet, you and the food are invited to my house, too. I haven't had pierogies in a hundred years. Any other chefs I missed? Come on over, I'll be happy to host you!

My youngest son has been showing mild signs of diabetes occasionally over the last six months. It's been with more frequency and severity every day this week. After making more than a dozen phone calls and two trips to offices who wouldn't help us over the last three days, we finally got in to see a pediatrician today who sent us to the hospital for outpatient tests, with orders for the hospital to send the results and a referral to the two endocrinologists my older son and I go to. It seems that if you tell a receptionist that your son is a diabetic who needs treatment and a referral to a specialist, it's no big deal. If you just say he's sick (they're guessing cold or flu), they'll get you in quickly. Makes my blood boil.

Stay warm, stay safe, stay happy. I think we should all have a pre-game hot cocoa drinking festival tomorrow. Who's in?

Yay, us! We awoke to over 4" of snow today. Damn, forecasters!

I, too hope for a good game tomorrow. I just like throwing stuff around. My team sucked it up this year and didn't come close to making it to the big game. I think I'm just tired of shoveling.

Same here unfortunately! I was pulling in my driveway today and saw a bit of green sticking up - my first thought was "Wow, is that GRASS I can see?" Thean I realized it was a bush (probably a couple feet high) finally peeking out of the snow in the middle of the yard. Yeah, we have a ways to go to the grass itself!

Everyone have a great weekend - going skiing tomorrow up in the UP of Michigan then back of course before Sunday for the game! Go Pack Go!!!!

have fun in the UP. i know you will be back for kick off time.
mr mac just came back from there a week ago.
he cross country skies.


i had to laugh about the bush.
there is no way you could have a view of the ground yet....

hey, are youse gonna do a trip report for us?
we wanna hear about all the fun and if there were many crowds at the motherland when you went.

where they going?JK don't get snowed in & miss the game!

hoping for a close/good game this time around, no matter who wins - both teams are weiners to have made it this far imo

knowing marcie, she would ski to the closest tv in order to watch her game on sunday.
i mean come on, if someone wears a 'cheese head hat' to the motherland, you know they are a die hard fan.......

make a bet with the wife.
the loser gets to do the shoveling for all of 2011.

just got home from Pittsburgh--that place is a mad house today--I wonder why?

Had to get DS a new Steelers Jersey from the Steeler's store--one busy place. Of course, he doesn't want one from all of the street vendors all over the place. Gotta be official now that he's a teenager--I remember the days when you could tell the kid it was official and he'd never know the difference--those were the days.

Thanks, Mac. We really appreciate that. We had a scary morning/afternoon, but he showed some improvement this evening. We're hoping we can avoid the hospital at least until we get the results back and we have an endocrinologist lined up. I'm packing a bag just in case he takes a turn for the worse again.

 

[minniejack]

Tink. Good Luck with your son.

Look into adding chlorella to his diet--good for anybody, but it is supposed to help with diabetics. You can find on amazon or GNC. Spirulina is a good choice, too--I take caplets in both, cause I'm not sure I could handle the powder form. My DH's sugar numbers have been borderline diabetic for years and he added these to his diet and his numbers at Christmas were all normal--not sure if it was that or something else.

Here are just a couple of links--there are a gazillion out there:

we're nutz to begin withadd in a big game & it's time to bar the windows...speaking of I noticed they were putting up the no parking signs on northside & strip last night. They're supposed to try & keep the more stoopid fans from burning down the house tonight once game is over.

made it to casino yesterday, nearly everybody had on black & gold & lots of spontaneous chanting, lots of fun & we won enough to have a nice dinner/drinks & still have seed money for the next junket

tink scary, good luck to your DS

im stuffed already from all the munchies, no counting calories today, tomorrow we die-t.

sympathies to yinz guys with all the white stuff, it was a year ago today we had our own snowmagedon (24 inches)

Stupid Green Bay. MH, my DH was right with you...I'm thinking about making him sleep on the couch.

Good game, though. Tight.

It was a nail biter to the end,but the Pack gotter-done

 

[marciemi]

GO PACK GO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But you knew I'd say that!

 

[KStarfish82]

Congrats to the Packers!

 

[macraven]

GO PACK GO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But you knew I'd say that!

eh marcie, the game was already over by the time you posted the rah rah for them............



i was ticked i had to wait forever for all the hype to be over in order to watch Glee tonight.....


katy, long time no see.
come back again and visit.

 

[marciemi]

Well, what was I supposed to say?

"Went Pack Went" just doesn't have the same ring!

 

[minniejack]

You guys better have a lot of postings--I don't want to see that Go Pack Go at the top of my screen for the next two weeks....

 

[keishashadow]

Congratulations to your team marci!

can't say the game was good, more of the lesser of 2 evils as imo neither team had their A game on, but yinz guys managed to capitalize on our mistakes & that's all it takes sometimes. Just think, if next season is cancelled due to labor dispute, you could have the trophy for 2 years.

my youngest DS suddenly got really sick last night & still is, dr;s office sez stomach flu. can't imagine how a person can upchuck for almost 12 hours, doesn't look dehydrated yet.

 

[minniejack]

you guys are killing me here...aren't you??

DD's teacher said that it looked to her that Christina Aguilerra had a few too many before she sang...could be...she has sung the anthem many times in her career before this: for the Steelers, the Penguins...

 

[KStarfish82]

Mac, didn't know you were a GLEE fan! LOVE THIS SHOW...in fact listening to "Marry You" right now!

 

[macraven]

last year at the motherland, i arranged my evening around tuesday night episode of Glee..............was in my room and front of the television, even turned my cell phone off while Glee was on..........
