OR I could take my sister and spend another $300

Or you could invite the always kind NHAnn down for a visit oops, never mind, Avery turns two Sunday, I'm busy

You know, I grew up in MA but I have never been to the Big E. Most people I know have been to it, but I never have.
Sue, my understanding (and I'm sure Debbie will correct me if I'm wrong) is that the Big E is the "Eastern States Exposition"....a humongous combination of carnival, craft fair, flea market, business exposition, and agricultural fair......with all kinds of food, drink, things to buy, things to see, food and entertainment , animals, food.....is that right Debbie?

pumba...slow down now on those crackers please

I'm beat today too....I think cause my tooth still hurts. Not as bad as yesterday, it is tolerable w/o inbuprofen. But now the gum is swollen between that tooth and the one in front of it. Like when you get a popcorn shell in there. But there's nothing in there, it got like that after breakfast and all I had was yogurt Tomorrow I guess I better call the dentist, so I can go in there for them to hurt me more and take my money to do it.

Ann, I hope your tooth feels better soon!!

Did everyone have a nice weekend?

 

[princessandie77]

Can I join?? I'm a huge fan of the S&D....Well anything Michael Graves designed!

 

[Mickeyfaniam]

sure sandie77...anyone can join in here.

Nice picture Christine

yes Ann I think you summed it up pretty well....the only thing you left out is that its open for 23 days every September. I usually go to eat....and I mean eat...everything...from sausage, onion & pepper grinders to loaded baked potatoes...to bloomin onions...to curly fries and pizza and home made blueberry or apple pie with ice cream or milk shakes and their now famous cream puffs....I usually eat almost all of that and don't do much craft browsing cuz the men in my life don't like that
So with my sister was the best. I bought a large oak framed mirror with attached shelf for my living room....a couple of firefighter items for jerry for Christmas and some candles and a few toys for relatives for Christmas...there was so much more I wanted. I Did not buy a mop this time like everyone else....I did try this foot message thingie which was awesome.

My CT went fine Sue...it wasn't bad. I was told my doctor would get a report in a couple of days so I imagine if there is anything serious she will call me and if its minor I won't hear about it until I go back to her next month. But I get about 3 major sinus infections per year causing pain in my teeth on the left upper side...also my left ear and above my ear. The pain is always in the same place everytime. I take zyrtec and still they come back

Well Mile sprained his ankle again playing soccer...the right one this time...he got a goal first....and Justin got some playing time too for the first time. of course all this happened before I got there

pumba...how are the calories on those crackers??

 

[pumba]

they are 120 calories ....but no fat calories at all........I am truly blessed.......but I opened these last night and just finished them.......I was under stress I think....yah that is it......I needed a stress reliever.....HAHAHA......
Kaitlynn played for the JV again tonight on the field.....and she got another goal.........YIPPEEEEEEEEEE......they lost the game but she was very excited......

Hi sandi....nice to meet you.....I am marie.....aka as the pig

 

[Towncrier]

Good evening cheerleaders. I've been really busy with Yankee Peddler and have been trying to catch up on all the goings on here. I'm sorry to hear about all the aches and pains and hope that everyone is on the mend.

Next time I visit the doctor, I'm going to have to update my medical history file. You know that little checkbox about a family history of cancer? Well, my dad went and spoiled my "NO" answer because the biopsy results came back positive. My 78yo father has colon cancer. He has a meeting with his surgeon on October 3rd where he'll find out when they will operate to remove the mass and what further treatment he will need.

Quite a shock to my mom and dad as well as the rest of our family. And I was the last to find out. That sure makes me feel like a rotten son. I guess that he should have posted something on the Community Board. Then I might have noticed that something was wrong with my dad. His doctors don't seem too concerned. I guess that colon cancer (when detected early) is highly curable.

So if you have any spare pixie dust lying about, could you send a little in my dad's direction. I'm sure that he'd appreciate your prayers too. I think that retired preachers may have a greater appreciation of the power of prayer.

 

[NHAnn]

Princessandie---Welcome.....we are nuts, but you are certainly welcome to join us And I think I get a prize because people are calling you sandie, but I have noted that your sig says andie with a princess in front of it

TC--I will keep your dad in my prayers and am sending PD to your whole family. Now, if you will indulge me in a lecture for a minute:

And I was the last to find out. That sure makes me feel like a rotten son. I guess that he should have posted something on the Community Board. Then I might have noticed that something was wrong with my dad.

Even if your dad and mom were DISers, I'll bet they would not have known that something was wrong, and I doubt they would have posted it. One time 20 or so years ago....my mom went for a breast biopsy (without telling a SOUL!!) ended up having to stay overnight and she was wondering why we all freaked out when my bewildered father spilled the few beans HE knew.....it was benign, but then.... she never told us about the meds for angina 5 or so years after that either Anyway... I guess what I'm saying is...I think I know some of the feelings you are feeling. You sound like you're feeling a little guilty. C'mon now, that won't change anything, and I don't think you really have any reason to. I'm rambling...was just worried about how you sounded there. Hang in, we will all keep your family in our thoughts and prayers. Oh, and I need a slap evey now and then when I get on a "woe is me" kick over something like a toothache! I sincerely mean it when I say thank you for the pespective

Debbie---ankle-healing PD to Mike! Is it a bad sprain??? Good for Justin for getting int he game

Christine-- I posted on your thread (I think ) GREAT pic!!

pumba....I'm still laughing at you hehehehehe

 

[Mickey's sunshine]

TC - thinking lots of good thoughts for your dad, mom, you and your entire family. {{hugs}}

Ann - yes I think you did.

 

[Mickeyfaniam]

Saying prayers and sending PD to your dad and your family TC. Yes it is highly curable when detected early. My DH's twin brother was diagnosed with that about 5 years ago. They removed it and he's been fine since....watched closely of course but he's fine.

No Ann...the sprain doesn't seem to be too bad

OK marie...120 calories....per how many???? and how many in a package ??

 

[Towncrier]

Thanks for the prayers and good thoughts everyone. Thanks for the slap on the face Ann. I needed it. I guess that I too am in that denail stage. It's hard to know how I should feel.

I don't mean to make lite of other peoples' ailments either. It sounds like we're all starting to show some wear and tear. But it beats the alternative.

 

[Mickeyfaniam]

good morning

I am soooo sleepy.......a combination of dreary weather and lost sleep due to sinus pain has me so tired I can't think.
Try to have a nice Tuesday everyone.

 

[pumba]

had to go and get a BRAND NEW bag of hot rice crackers so I could look at the calories again.......okey this is it......
1/2 cup of these suckers......they are just right little finger stuff....like as big as half of my pinky but skinnier....they are delicious....well anyways.......one half cup is a service size.....more then enough to munch on and it is 120 calories.....and no fat calories.....I can dig this....but NOW I HAVE To put this bag back in the other room....away from me so I won;'t eat it.....can't do it ......all 15 pkgs would be gone in a week if I didn't watch out.
Kaitlynns name was in the newspaper for her goal last night......still spelled it wrong......got a k this time ......but katelyn instead......last week it was a catelyn.....hahaha......to many ways.
do you take antibiotics for your sinus infection.....
pd to you tc......hope all is well with you and your family
hugs to those who need it
(I do )
thanks for making rainy days brighter

 

[scarlett873]

morning everyone!

welcome ANDIE!! we're a friendly bunch around here...i've never even been to the swan or the dolphin! that shall be remedied though next year!!

pumba...so, how many bags have you eaten so far?

TC...sending pixie dust for you and your family...you guys will be in my thoughts...

debbie...sounds like you got some great deals! heck, i'd be happy to be able to spend $100 at wal-mart right now! lol...this house is draining me...but just a few more months to go...i don't know where the past few months have even gone! it seems like just yesterday we were just toying with the idea of building a house!! now if they'd only start BUILDING the house...

my sister is cracking me up. she and her DH are going with us on our trip next year. well, we've both agreed that there's the possibilty of having a baby along for the ride with us. while she's not actively trying to get pregnant, it could still happen. and well, you guys know that we're trying...anywho, our IM chats revolve around planning this trip around non-existant babies! it's so funny...she's concerned about what we'd do regarding formula, bottles, etc. here's hoping that this non-existant baby becomes a reality!!

since you guys have fairly recently returned from the swan/dolphin, is that resort fee ($10 per day) mandatory? just wondering...or does anyone know of anyone with any connections who could answer that one for me?

ann...pixie dust to you for your achey tooth!

hi sue! hi gail! hi lurkers!

nice picture christine!!

have a good day all!!

 

[CookieGVB]

Hi all. I'm sitting here in soggy clothes, after practically having to swim to work this morning. And of course the a/c is cranked, so I should be up for pneumonia in a couple of days. (that's my "woe is me" story for the day)

Welcome to our group, Andie...the more, the merrier!

TC - Prayers for you, your dad, mom, & family. My uncle was diagnosed with colon cancer a few years ago (he's 74) - he's doing just fine now. Hang in there, and don't guilt yourself about it. I didn't learn about my father's stroke until DAYS after it happened...they didn't want to worry me...arrggghh!!

Pumba - slow down on those rice crackers - we'll have to get you into a support group soon! LOL

Brandie - too funny about planning a vacation for non-existing babies...but you'll have all the bases covered!

Deb, hope you're feeling better soon.

Hi Ann, Christine, Poohsie, long lost Teri, longer lost Shellie!!

 

[NHAnn]

Yikes, TC, didn't mean to slap you, you didn't need a slap! I'm the one that needed it, moaning over a toothache when things like colon cancer are affecting people. I just didn't want you beating yourself up over how or when you got the news of your dad. And there's no particular way you "should" feel right now. With both parents aging and one with relatively more serious health issues, and with a horde of siblings at various points ont he functional/dusfunctional spectrum, all I can say is....hang on for the ride and keep praying. And keep up as best you can, when you can, with the things that give you pleasure and satisfaction: your wife and kids, your DIS family, and so forth. That will help with the stressful times for sure!! ((hugs))

AS a bit of venting here...I got in trouble at work this morning!! Yikes, I haven't felt like that since having the principal (Sister Anna Magdelan)on my case for "misbehaving" at recess in second grade!! No not for DISing at work ......but for allegedly making a face ("smirk") during a meeting when the head of our newly reorganized division was speaking I think what I was feeling at the time was frustration, she took it as a smirk at what she was saying..... instead of asking me what I was thinking at the moment she waited til this mornign and called me in on the carpet sayign she was PO'd about it all night!
I better get better at poker face I guess...no more or --apparently only or is considered a "good attitude" - even amongst those to whom we supposedly are allowed to "vent". Someone slap me again please!!!

 

[CookieGVB]

*sl-ap!* Wipe that expression off your face, young lady!

Geez, gimme a break - some people have to manufacture issues to be p.o.'d about.

I'm a bad influence - I sit at meetings and mutter and roll my eyes all the time, so don't listen to me!

 

[pumba]

me.......a support group for my problem...never thought .....omg.....I need


H E L PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
