Team Focker Watch Chat Part 5.5: The Less-Cursed Version

[cmp1111]

OK, y'all were chatty yesterday, so I skipped about 10 pages in the middle. If I missed something big, fill me in.

Jodi, I just wanted to send prayers and warm wishes to you. I have never posted on a Focker thread before. I see so many people I know. Hi everyone!!

Hi, I've seen you around! I'm CE.

Torn Muscle in my calf. Cannot flex my right foot at all. Now maybe it's because it was Labor Day Weekend.. but the Dr. did not order a MRI But said if it does not feel better by Monday ( staying off of it and taking anti-inflammatory) come back and we'll take a picture.

Oh, no! Feel better!

I just finished organizing all our trip photos! The grand total after many deletions is 2657, not including photopass and video.

Oh, dear god. I thought we had a lot at around 400.

Ok my baby turned 3 in July and he is all grown up now-----he is officially potty trained!!!!!!!I cant believe it. I told him I had no diapers left on Monday and he said ok and put on underwear...and the rest was history.

That's great!

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!!

You, too! Congrats on the niece!

About halfway through my aunt's husband calls and says my grandma fell and probably broke her wrist. My aunt headed up to the ER to meet them there. I guess my grandma tripped and landed on her wrist and broke the 2 big boes and then also the 3 little ones. Anyways, they admitted her for the night and has it set in a sling right now and will most likely do surgery tomorrow morning on it. My aunt said the doctor on call didn't want to come in and will just do it tomorrow. I don't know if that's a good thing or not, but I know she was in a lot of pain from it.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Happy Birthday, Jodi!​

I have no idea what's up for us today. One of D's coworkers called about a cookout, but it's not at his house, so I don't know.

We got up really late and aren't moving much.

The lake was fun yesterday - we got up there right after lunch and went for a boat ride. Our dog jumped off the boat to chase ducks, swam to shore, and was AWOL for about a half hour. We somehow finally convinced him to swim back to the boat.

We cooked out and then the grownups went for a sunset cruise whilst the older kids watched the younger ones. Then we sat around a fire for a while and came home.

That's about all I've got - hope everyone is having a good day!

Lori I'm glad your Grandmothers surgery went well, I wish her a speedy recovery

Thanks Jo!

And YAY on the birds being alive! I am soooooo not a bird person but to see/have something like that happen would be pretty cool to see.

 

[cmp1111]

So we thought we'd better get rid of the nest before they start smelling, when D went up the ladder though they were breathing They're just very quiet still birds

Pshew!

 

[TEminnie]

Morning folks.......or afternoon now I guess!

Everyone having a good Labor Day? It's hot here--85 which is odd this time of year.

I bet Dawn is at church----if San Antonio gets hit, the whole state of TX is under water cause it's REALLY far inland!
In FW, we were always glad to get the rain.

We had 3 days of good rain from FAY which was nice--a good soaking rain but not flooding.

Glad the birdies are ok, Jo! We have our second nest of bluebirds that BA and I are watching---they are really ugly at first then get pretty with the feathers.

CE sounds like a lovely day, I think you missed my golf win, I'm now in the final

It is good about the birds, I walked by a little while ago and saw it move again

Got my roast chicken and potatoes in the oven, it's nearly ready and smelling lovely!

Hi everyone!

I'm off to get Mom from the airport in a few minutes. We had a relaxing morning here, sipping coffee and reading the paper. Bob picked 18 tomatos from his garden this morning! He also picked about two dozen cherry tomatos! Also, 6 jalapenos and some fresh basil. I'm going to make a batch of pico de gaio SP?

I hope you guys are having a good day.

Jo: Your chicken and potatoes sound lovely!

Katt: I have Dawn's # if you want it! I'll pm you, as I'm leaving soon....

[puggymom]

Katt - just saw that you tore a muscle, feel better

Lori - glad your Grandma is out of surgery

Jo - glad the birds are ok, I'm sure T is glad it was at your house and not hers

So I thought Dawn was in Houston, glad she is not near the coast.

Mel - have fun with Mom.

I have gotten nothing done other than load my pics and started sorting through them.

Nope, we had a bank holiday the weekend of FF. I'm near enough back on schedule but David was awake between 1 and 3 am

I DID miss that. Great!

Thanks, we absolutely thrashed them too

True


BTW look at my siggie, it's a bit different to normal TR's as Jess is writing it mainly with a few comments from me, also it may take a while to write as Jess starts school Wednesday!

Y'all are so sweet to worry, but I'll be totally fine no matter what happens. I'm in the Hill Country between San Antonio and Austin. We may get some good rain and a bit of wind, but that's all. I look forward to the rain.

Today's hotter than it has been so we may go swimming. We have a few projects were doing too. K's off tomorrow too.

I probably won't be on much today since we have stuff to do. Be good!

 

[LurrrvtheDuck]

Hiya guys, well that took me forever to catch up...

Jo-so glad you got my package & you guys liked it, I was worried.

Are you guys gonna take care of the birdies?

Mel- Yani says "Hi" to you guys back. Hope SD is feeling better. Have you taken him to an endocronologist to have them check all those hormonal glands? Just a thought...

Jodi- Feel better, I don't know why they didn't just do the surgery while you were in the hospital.... stupid lazy dr's (sorry I have issues with dr's seeing things first hand working @ a hospital)

Happy Birthday Jodi!!!​

Welcome back Janet, Kat (my roomie! ), T and Mo!

Happy belated Rachel Day!

Happy Lori Day!

Gustav is scary, but at least the people of NO have more sense this time and started evacuating before being told to, my prayers go out to them

We've been getting the outer bands all weekend and those suckers were bigger then what Fay brought.
We'll be under rain all week between Gustav and Hanna on the other side....

Lessa- 2000+ pics?!? Wow!

Poor Stephenie Meyer, that sucks for her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nothing new here, it's been rainy all weekend because of Gustav.

I called out from work yesterday because they pissed me off. The working conditions were absolutely horrendous and I got mad so called out due to spite. They're doing construction in our area.....again after having been displaced for about 2 months and now they decided to throw us back out of our area and stick us in the middle of the hospital hallway entrance along with all the patients right next to us. Absolutely ridiculous! They could've found a much better solution while the renovation is going on but they have complete morons in charge. So I chilled with the Mother unit and we went grocery shopping and hit up Kmart who was having a sale, my mom bought shirts for like $1.80 each. Unfortunately I'll be heading back to work tonight then later on this week I have a meeting for a possible promotion. I really wish I could get another job, but the employment out there sucks right now.

Talk to you guys later!

LOL, I've been going along thinking you were in Houston and was like, "WHY isn't she more worried?!"

Unfortunately I'll be heading back to work tonight then later on this week I have a meeting for a possible promotion. I really wish I could get another job, but the employment out there sucks right now.

Good luck Z!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What a lovely, lazy day! Went grocery shopping, now enjoying a beer and getting ready to beat the pants of Gramma at Monopoly. Heh heh.

 

[jcc0621]

Thanks CE!
