Can you set up a kind of medical savings plan so that money stays put for medical expenses only? Seems like there is some sort of tax benefit to doing it that way.

Jan

I have no idea. A coworker at lunch today told me I'm supposed to have some sort of ATM card that the firm puts money into for something related to medical. I have NO idea what she's talking about. Again, our wonderful manager showing her wonderful communcation skills. I'll find out later, if I end up staying.

 

[HollyTyler]

If you want to know my opinion, I thought you were crazy for leaving BEFORE they offered you anything to stay. You need this type of job because of Tyler. If they offered me ANYTHING more I would take it. I know it seems like it would benefit everyone to make more money but you can't get fired because that would be worse. I know Jon's work has 120 day probation period and they fire people for just about anything so maybe you should at least look into that. Maybe others have offered their opinion as well. It is hard for me because I believe kids come before work and I know a lot of others don't have that same opinion. I just thought I'd mention it because you posted the above statement.

I always love everybody's input, so you could have told me this before. Definitely. It's honestly how I feel, I was just trying to make more money. But that's the wrong way. It would be better to get a night job instead.

Hi Marilyn, nice to see you're relaxing and checking in.

Holly, stick with the flexible job. The other job will not allow you the time that you need to take off for Tyler. That's more important than $2000 a year. The medical deduction is important, but like Jan said.....maybe you can start a fund and force a savings to cover the deductible. Hugs to you and Tyler, hang in there......you will get passed this.

Monica, I know what you're feeling with your parents getting older. I can't tell you how many times I talked to my mother about adding a "mother-in-law" suite onto my house because I have plenty of land. I even told her that I would put her own simple house on my property. She said NO to everything I suggested. She wasn't willing to leave her home. She eventually moved her bedroom downstairs and I got her an electronic seat to put on the staircase so she could ride up when she needed to. She would not let me drive her everywhere and she would not let me help her with her paperwork and finances. So after her death, NOW we have to deal with the mess she left behind. My brother cleaned out the house and I'm doing everything else. It has not been easy on us, but it's what she wanted.

Gaylean, hugs to you today while you're feeling down. Hope you get better soon.

Deborah, I love the pictures.......you all look SO happy!

Cheri, hello......thanks for posting the pictures of you and your sisters at the hotel. It is nice to see how the other half lives.

Nan, hope SPEED does well today and you get to do that Survivor dinner together tonight.

Ian, LOVE the princess card. I learned a few new things. I have never seen Hercules and didn't know about the "princess".

Not to forget anybody, hugs and hello to you all. Time to take a nap. Cya later.

Deb - glad to see you're relaxing, with legs elevated in Santee SC. I have stopped here several times when driving back & forth btwn FL & MD (when it wasn't just me).

Sorry about that ticket

 

[mishoe01]

Right now I wish I had land where a cottage/rancher could be built detached from my house.....oh well.

 

[HollyTyler]

SO NICE to see Marilyn & Deb pop in while on vacation! We miss you both! Have a wonderful time!

 

[HollyTyler]

So here's what the doctor said. We are to keep the current med, but reduce back to the original dose. And we are to add Adderall or Concerta, which is usually for ADHD kids, but for Tyler it will supposedly increase his impulse control and when that's under control, the other med will be able to help reduce the aggression and anxiety.

So wish Tyler luck please. The Dr. said that like the current med, if the added one works, we'll know right away, probably in a few days, but if it doesn't work, we'll know IMMEDIATELY because when it doesn't work it causes EXTREME irritability. So that's why he gave us both kinds. We are to try one first and if it works, stick with it and if it doesn't work, switch to the other. And if neither work, he'll give us another option at our 10/23 appointment.

By the way, Ice Queen didn't come to the appointment. I suspected she wouldn't.

I'm back.....couldn't sleep.....John is snoring.....I know he's exhausted. I slept a lot in the car so I'm good.

I am relaxing and elevating my legs so I'll be in good shape to play when I get there tomorrow. Can't wait to see you on Saturday. I'll give you a call Friday after work. What time would be good for you? 6-7 pm?

If you don't have enough property to build an additional structure, you can always go up. Buid a second story with it's own outside entrance and you live there. Give your parents the downstairs. It's a possibility.

Even though we're on vacation, we miss you too!!!

There you go.....the doctor has the solution. You're getting there.....you're so close. With the doctor's help, you will find the correct combination of meds for Tyler to be consistently under his own control. Just gotta give it a little more time. Hugs to you both. It's getting better every day.

Hi Deb1

Just had my Chicken Stir Fry with Asian vegetables for lunch. This one was just 'pretty good', all the others have been excellent so far.

Did call and tell them to take OATMEAL off the rotation for me. Yes, after trying it again this morning....I still hate it.

Looking forward to seeing what's in the box tomorrow.

.....back to work......

Thanks Deb. The best part is how his dad has finally been on the same page as me & the Dr. for a while now. Not sure what the heck happened to him, or who that man is and what he did with Tyler's dad, but I'm happy about it!

oh and tonight i totally did the old lady fall! I walked outside my back door to toss some trash and my lovely daughter left her skateboard right side up on the step. AND DoWn I went! I have some lovely scratches that will turn into even lovelier bruises, but at least I didn't break anything! Such a clutz!

As klutz of long-standing I am here to inform you that when there is a reason for the fall
--skateboard on step--
you are not a klutz, you are an accident victim.

A klutz falls when there is nothing there and that is me.

The same safety instructions you have been spouting for years might sink in now that someone has gotten hurt.

Hope you are not badly hurt

Jan

Hi Jacks, I didn't like their oatmeal either. Don't you feel lighter after eating this food for almost a week now? I know I do when I'm on it. I never get too full. I always get hungry at meal times. I feel very balanced. I think it's the way you're supposed to feel after every meal when you eat properly.

I lost 3lbs this past week. It's slow, but it's going in the right direction. Of course, now I'm on vaca so I'm off dieting again. I had french fries today. I wanted them for weeks already. I waited until now and it was worth it.

Jackie, I figure that if you have to be on a diet, then BistroMD is a good one to do. It's easy and it tastes good. You'll see good results when you weigh yourself next time and it will all be worthwhile.

Tyler may have said something to him to make him see the light! Now that he's on the same page as you, ice queen is not happy about it. They probably disagreed and he said something like, he's my kid not yours......and now she knows where the line is drawn. I do recall her having a problem with it in the past. Better that she found out. So all is very good and getting better!

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Hi Jan.......I'm elevating!!!! My leg is in pretty good condition considering I was just in a car for 11 hours. Only the normal amount of swelling, not a real lot like I usually get in long car rides. That's good. Now I'm in the hotel and I'm elevating it on a hassack. It should stay good.

How are you today?

 

[JLSE50]

Did not sleep well at all last night....kept trying to figure out what could be done to my house to allow my parents to have their own space while I have my own space. Picturing new door here, new space there....not sure if it would work. Think I'll go jump on Realtor.com and check out some things.

Need to talk to my sister about this - forgot to call her last night until it was about 1030pm. Can't call her tonight as the 2hr Grey's is on tonight, followed by new ER (which will be recorded).

Need to talk to my parents too---but about Spain not this other stuff--not yet.

When you have a deal with your sister about where, have a place chosen, it is furnished with any furniture and decorative items that you have that WERE THEIRS and you are ready for them to come.....

if you invite them to come VISIT THEIR VACATION HOME and encourage them to bring some of their STUFF TO MAKE IT MORE HOMEY...

perhaps the VISITS to the US can be gradually become longer and longer and the away time shorter and shorter.

Seems like a sudden move would be harder to accept than the idea of a visit of indeterminate length.

If you buy one way airfare you can prolong the visit while you wait for a good deal for the return flight.....

Just some ideas.....

Jan
