Says it all Mac................Right there with youse guys......all the way

I'm just glad it wasn't the "there's an asteroid we can't stop" speech.

Tom was night shift and someones wife had phoned in to say there was rumours about something major happening in the States. Tom phoned me and told me stick on Sky News or CNN...... have to be honest that was ONE of my first thoughts (watched too many movies) Then I couldn`t get back to sleep so just sat and watched from about 4am our time. Very proud of those guys


MJ...............beautiful pictures, you must be very proud. You have a lovely family. And I do like to put a face to a name


Still thinking of all the folks affected by the devastating weather conditions recently. Anyone heard from Coach or MH? Prayers sent their way.


I feel like the worst mum in the world at the moment. Kyle has been complaining of a sore leg for a while. Somedays he would say it`s not so bad. Doc said take Ibuprofen and it should get better. But........eventually I noticed he wasn`t bearing any weight on it and kind of limping. My friend who is a specialist in Bio Mechanics took one look at him and said it`s coming from his back.
NHS waiting list was 20 weeks for Physio So last week got him to a private woman who is brilliant and she said he has Sciatica Turns out they had a fun day at college few months back and he came off a bucking bronco and landed badly.......he forget to mention it

I felt awful for not doing something sooner. Anyway she has given him excercises to do every hour and she spent an hour on manipulating him. That was last Thursday and he is already noticing an improvement. He couldn`t even straighten his leg out properly he finally told me before he saw this woman.

So back today and hopefully she reckons 6 or so appointments and him excercising it he`ll be fine. But I still feel bad!!

Anyhoo......enough of my grumbling......have a good Tuesday

carole, ouch for kyle......
hope it feels better real soon and he is out of pain...


so he goes a few months and then remembers about the bronco bucking fall?
that is so like males.........


morning all.

and others that are in the Southern areas where the tornadoes and storms hit.

Major hugs for Kyle.

I had it from being a stubborn fool and lifting an iron wheel table that was left in a house that we had just moved into it. And guess what? I was pregnant and they wouldn't do a thing for me cause I was pregnant. Talk about pain.

And I lost some feelings in that foot because of it. You know when the doc takes the little hammer to your knee and your leg is supposed to jump? My just sits there.

Keisha, I'll have to check out the Nascar restaurant, thanks

Yes.....go USA!

I hope all the homies are okay too. Just got back from the store, bought the pooch a new toy, hope it will last awhile. She is so happy, so excited, she has not put this thing down yet. She had to go outside and run around with it, wouldn't even let me get close. (doesn't want anyone to touch her new toy) Dogs are so funny! Heres a pic! (pay no attention to the lovely weed garden in the background)

Oh that sounds as if it was unbearable. Much as though being pregnant is wonderful......it can be painful at the best of times, so add on that......ouch!!

Thanks for the good wishes.......he is slowly recovering........can`t call him Sir Limpsalot for much longer

Just been to get some more travellers cheques and dollars for our trip I laughed when the lady asked if we wanted the buy back guarantee........we came back with about $4 last November.

105 days to go

I think its like a deer or something. The white things that look like hands I think are antlers

Its a moose, and last night she chewed off the tail (you can see it in the pic, the little tail, to the right side of her mouth)and now the stuffing is coming out the moose's backside I am going to sew him up.

 

[macraven]

antlers, eh..........

 

[tink20]

Sorry if I am boring yall to death, but this is our first family dog.

Ok, I fixed the moose, gave it back to her, and she is in the backyard trying to bury him. It so cute, she is digging these little holes, covering him up (his legs and arms sticking out), then she changes her mind and takes him out of the hole. She has already done this 3 times. She isn't going to let me touch that toy again.

Ohhhh!

The finals week curse is upon me! There has yet to be a finals week while at VSU that I have not had a massive sinus infection or... another type of sickness.


This time: Food Poisoning.

As disboards as my witness I vow to never eat fast food again!

Okay maybe not "never". Waiting on my accounting final grade to come it. I had to take it this morning in the middle of all this mess.

Hope everyone else is doing/feeling well.

 

[tinydancer09]

Oh, and there must be something about dogs and toys with antlers. This is my dog Abby and Max from The Grinch. She refuses to tear him up where as all her other toys have injuries.... Grinch, who you can see in the corner, is missing all of his stuffing out of his head... Oh abby!

I think the nasty weather is following me. We made it back safe and sound, but not without some excitement. Just wanted to check in to let you all know that you didn't get rid of me yet. I'm digging all the new pics that have been posted since I've been gone. It's great to put a face with a name, Minnie!! And yes....you are a shorty. Here a just a couple that I uploaded for now.

We got down there early Friday afternoon and headed directly for a landmark in Memphis...

http://www.hogsfly.com/TheRestaurant.php

Where Dana and I had 2 pitchers of Michelob (we were starting off the music festival on the right foot....or was it the left...or was it a little of both kinda shuffling along....). I had a slab of the baby back ribs....

While Dana enjoyed the pulled pork plate...

Everything was absolutely delicious. Their ribs are cooked very different than Memphis style (or pretty much any style of BBQ) but are really good. I've got the recipe and method if you want it, Minnie.

We then shuffled down to Beale Street where we enjoyed more adult beverages. Don't let the sun fool you in these pictures. It will change throughout the weekend....

My coworker Tom and his wife taunting Beale St with their stupid rules...

Getting some of our musical juices flowing at the Pepsi Pavillion on Beale before we head down to the music festival...

Walking along the VERY SWOLLEN Mississippi River on the way in...

Staking our claim for the Stone Temple Pilots show....

Friday night was just awesome (or at least I think it was). Don't worry, we weren't driving. We had a 3 day pass for the trolley system so that wasn't an issue....now remembering where we our stop was.....well that's a whole other story.

Tinydancer Hope you feel better soon! Major good luck with testing.

MH So glad you are okay. Here we thought you'd been swept into the wind. And all the while, you were partying hardy.

Arrgh I hear arguing from the chitlins. Gotta run before there is blood.

Ha, thanks! I've got my fingers crossed. Good luck with the kids! When it gets tough just remember all of us usually end up best friends when we don't have to live with each other every day! My mom always told me this when I was younger but after having to share a bathroom with my sister who is 4 years older than me until I was 19 I did not believe.... Not to shocking we are now best friends and nearly inseparable now. Surprise surprise, mom was right!

you know what's sad is that when they were little, strangers used to approach me and tell me that they'd never seen such two well behaved children and that you could tell they just loved each other. Now what do I get? The F-Bomb flying every second, him calling her names and her back.

you figured this out when you were 19? Then, I only have 1 1/2 yrs to go... Wish us luck.

MH that looks like pulled pork--what I just cooked a few days ago and DH devoured in one meal. I swear there was about 2# of meat and he just gobbled it up. Oink

 

[tink20]

tinydancer...that picture is so cute, looks like they are staring at each other, good luck on all your tests and feel better.

MH, glad you are okay and that you guys had a great time. I've only been to Memphis once, I want to go back...its alot of fun.

Minnie, don't feel bad, my two argue and they are 8 years apart. DS tells me all the time, "ugh, teenagers, can't wait til she goes to college" I told him, " promise me, you won't act that way when you are one.
Have an awesome day, homies!
