What is the world coming to?


I am happy to report I finished my first MBA class with an A people!! Don't know how, but I pulled it off.

You know I can't keep anything from you

 

[MrsMork]

Will Lisa post about his travels on his Thread?

Jan

I'm sure she will.

 

[gaylean93]

There you go!!!

Wow that is a good synopsis and funnier than the originals I bet I need to know about the muffin man!

My agent tells me he will be getting the drama on this too, but that he is going to tell them to forget about it... I just want to be done with it, so I hope we don't get pressured anymore on the price. It has been hard enough to let it go so far below what market was just a few short years ago....my dad had an offer and turned it down for $600, it's selling for $375, so sucky.

Lots of drama here. We came down 99 thousand and have stood firm we are doing nothing, repairing nothing. We think this guy has cash also. We have seen nothing on loan applications.

Hello to everybody else!

Things have been busy for us, as Ken let you all know.
Long job interview story:
I had part 1 of a job interview on Friday. I couldn't get off work to drive to the other town for the interview so I'd asked them if they could do a phone interview. The lady had to get back to me on that, but she phoned me back in 10 minutes and said yes to the phone interview, but they could only do part over the phone, so if the phone interview went okay, then I'd have to go up later to do the rest of the interview. So they phoned me on my cell phone on Friday, and I'm sitting out in the lumber yard, because that's the only spot I could get phone reception and privacy (Ken had the van to take kids to park, otherwise I'd have gone somewhere better). They phoned 3 minutes late, said hello and got disconnected, they phoned back, got disconnected again, they phoned back again. Third time's the charm and actually stayed connected, but I'm nervous and wondering what else will go wrong . When I got off the phone, I thought I'd done horrible answering the questions , and I figured I'd blown it between the poor answers, the phone disconnecting, and my refusal to go in person that day; but yesterday they phoned and asked me to come up this week to finish it off So I still might not get the job (they said they are interviewing 4 people), but at least I have a shot, and it'll be a new experience answering "behavioural questions". If this one doesn't pan out, something else will eventually.

OK...Here are the details: His official diagnoses (yes, plural) are mild ADHD - nonspecific (he said that basically means it's only a small part of things and that there are multiple other issues), ODD (oppositional defiance disorder) - moderate, learning disabled (which we already knew-for math, reading, writing), Emotional Impairment - mild, Sensory Integration Dysfunction (which we already knew and is why we go to occupational therapy), and Adjustment Disorder w/Anxiety.

He said if Tyler were an adult, he'd give him Celexa (an anti-depressant) but that there are too many studies about anti-depressants in kids and increased suicidal thoughts. Now it's recommended that drs. don't give them to kids under 18. So he gave us Risperdal. It's an anti-psychotic drug, and he said of course Tyler isn't psychotic, but that in low doses it's been found to reduce anxiety and aggression.

He said the diagnoses will likely change as Tyler grows and his brain matures, and he had to decide what were the most serious issues at this time. He said the aggression and the inability to focus were the 2 biggest issues in his opinion. He wants to only treat one area at a time to see what's left after eliminating some of the issues. It's his thought that it's possible that Tyler's inability to focus could be related to extreme anxiety and that if we eliminate that anxiety, he might be able to focus better, but there's no way of knowing until we start working on each thing. He'll re-evaluate in the fall (with many med-checks in between now and then) to see if he needs to add a med to help him focus.

I think that's about all! I'm giving him his first pill tonight at bedtime. YIPPEE! Oh....one more thing....he said unlike anti-depressants or other meds that can take weeks to take effect, he said with this drug, we'll see results in a few days to a week! I'm about to cry with relief. Yes, I know it might not work for him, but it's such a huge step in the right direction.

I'm about to cry too. Just so you know, I called DrHug and read this to him. He is not a fan of anti-psychotics in kids generally, but he said this is one case where it sounds appropriate. We will keep little Tyler in our prayers.

I hope you have good news about the house for us soon Angie.

July 29 is the drop dead date for him to let us know. Then we would close on Aug 5.

Sounds like you did well. Hope the second half goes just as well for you.

Guys. Who was it who posted a copy of the shutters photo of us going under the Centennial Bridge? Remember, when we had the debate about whether it was us or not and the webcam proved it was?

Well somebody has started a thread on the main cruise forum asking about it. they thought there wasn't one taken.

Was it Cherie who had one scanned? Actually I think someone emailed the picture so it would be good enough to print.

Perhaps if someone has a copy they could post it there for these people. I have posted the webcam picture.
