The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 6

Isn't that more like 2 days and several years?!?!?

At least you didn't make it sound really bad and say a decade!

Thanks everyone for your prayers! From what I have heard the procedure is fairly simple, but I think Meme is a little concerned because it just sounds so odd. When the PT said they would inject "concrete", I think that it threw her for a little while. Now, she can't seem to get past that part. She should be back at home and good as new as early as tomorrow so that is good! I just told her that this had to be better and faster than the time she broke both wrists within 4 weeks of each other. Not fun for a woman who lives alone!


ETA:
Hey, 24,000! How did I do that?!?! I'm never around for a milestone!

YEAH!!!! (Sorry guys, that's the closest to designing that you get from me! )

congrats I was trying for that lastnight but no one was around to help me alas.

Here is an ode to the clever female. I know that we have many clever women here and I think you'll all appreciate this.

The Obedient Wife

There was a man who had worked all of his life, had saved all of his money, and was a real miser when it came to his money.

Just before he died, he said to his wife, "When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me. I want to take all my money to the afterlife with me."

And so he got his wife to promise him with all of her heart that when he died she would put all of the money in the casket with him.

Well, he died.

He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was sitting there in black, and her friend was sitting beside her. When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said, "wait just a minute!"

She had a box with her, she came over with the box and put it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down and they rolled it away.

So her friend said, "Girl, I know you weren't fool enough to put all that money in there with you husband.:

The loyal wife replied "Listen, I'm a Christian, I can't go back on my word. I promised him that I was going to put that money in that casket with him."

"You mean to tell me you put that money in the casket with him!!!!?"

"I sure did," said the wife. "I got it all together, put it into my account and wrote him a check."

"If he can cash it, he can spend it"

That's great!

Before I head to bed, I am hoping that you can spare some prayers and pixie dust for my grandma (Ruth) tomorrow morning. She recently joined Curves. Two weeks ago Saturday she was doing her workout and did something to hurt her back. Thinking it was just strain she took it easy for a week. When it was still sore that Thursday she went to the doctor who sent her to physical therapy. The pt listened to her complaint and said "you know that sounds just like a woman who was here the other day and she actually had a fractured compressed vertebrae. Soo...they do xrays and my grandma has not one, but TWO fractured compressed vertebrae.

So tomorrow morning she is having a procedure done to help the extreme pain she is in. They will insert a needle between the vertebrea and insert a little balloon. The balloon inflates to put the vertebrea back in line and then they inject a concrete like substance that will keep them in place. She has been told that the pain is better almost immediately which should be good.

In addition to this one time, I am concerned about what this all means for the state of her osteoperosis. This is the simplest event that has ended up with a broken bone for her so it doesn't sound good. It is about the 6th broken bone she has had in the last few years.

Thanks all!!

I finally cropped some pictures from our trip to the Children's Museum earlier this week:

We started at the sandbox...

Then Nick and Julia did some fishing...

Looks like a great time. All the kids looks so cute.

Kate, your little girl is not so little anymore. It's amazing the difference from almost a year ago when all this first started.

 

[Tammi67]

Tammi...I'm so sorry to hear that.It was actually on our local news here.I think the plane wnt down not far from here.His dad was the first guy to fly the Mach 5 or 7 or something?

He was the first to fly at Mach 2, or twice the speed of sound.

And finally, Alyssa shows us her version of childbirth...

 

[my3princes]

Crush! are you out there?

Oh Crush!. As soon as I get caught up with whatever has happened since Midnight I've got a little lesson to teach you and/or anyone else out there that wants to mess with my DDA pals. Stay tuned.....

Amy, Kate and Julie, your kids are all adorable! Great pictures and it looks like they had lots of fun.

Amy, Alyssa's version of childbirth makes me glad I'm having another c-section

Any luck with getting volunteers with your flyer?

It actually goes in the bulletin this weekend - so I have to have the website ready for them to sign up - I have to enter all of the opportunities on there but I need booth captains to tell me what their worker needs are - but of course - they haven't -

I am not a hand holder though and I say if they can't bother to answer a simple question in two weeks - then they can deal with the consequences

Vicki -- on those HCOE DVD's you bought .... how do they do Spectromagic? Is it on there at all? I have it on video but it's not the best quality. I just finished listening to a podcast of all of the electrical parades in the past, around the world, etc and just realize I need a good quality DVD of it in case it ever goes away! Thanks!

I have the 2 disc HCOE cd set and it does not have Spectro on it. I wanted it so badly that I bought the Spectro dc off of ebay.

 

[mommykds]

Ok, I have one for you all.

 

[bengalbelle]

Ok, I have one for you all.

That's cute!!

 

[Tammi67]

You know, I don't remember Spectro being on there now that you mention it. I'll watch it again and let you know for sure. They don't show you the whole of any attractions. It is just enough to give you a warm fuzzy reminder.

Oops...I thought you were talking about the music. Nevermind my earlier post then.

 

[julia & nicks mom]

Ok.... so did you know that the people who do the VOICES of Mickey and Minnie are married?

I just listened to a program called "Mickey and Minnie tell All", and it talks about this. And it gave one of the reasons that they don't make them (the mice, not the humans) get married in public.... they did a survey, and found that most people that responded view them as their own age -- especially kids. So if that's the case, and then they got married, they would ruin the illusion becuase they would suddenly be adults.

Interesting

Once again someone is not paying attention in class

during the whole are minnie and mickey married debate - I posted a quote that they were married

I would really rather not discuss it

 

[Tammi67]

Ok, I'm caught up now.

Just wanted to say to Skunka how much I miss your humor on here. Glad to see you posting again and thanks for the fun.
