this is where they are partying. :p

HAHAHAHAHAHAH......No chocolate for Taffy & AMN :trampoline:

I'm here, every day.:) Not much going on with me right now. I lead such a borrrrrrring life.:rolleyes:

How's it going with you, April?

:hug:

Ahem, for the record, my connection is down and my only time online is when I commute to the coffee shop. I have been remiss, and I apologize.

I'll be changing providers soon and that means my email address too, which will be an enormous pain in the booty with all my registrations all over the net. Ugh, the downside of technology, I never thought there could be one!

I have been working on a huge landscape project all week and it's 99.9% done. I have to go back tomorrow morning to meet with the concrete curbing guy and finish up the finish tweeking on the water feature, but other than that, it's gorgeous! Absolutely gorgeous! A 350 square foot paver patio, new flower beds all the way around the back yard with lots of new plants, a new sprinkler system, and a water feature with a 3-tiered water fall, and a fire pit! Cool stuff!

And I think I am tired. Sunday morning I am on an airplane to Washington DC to do this presentation thing with the FDA...am I ready...not on your life! Will I be...you betcha. I have a lot of people with MS counting on me! Oh yeah, I still have a white shirt to buy to wear under that gorgeous Tartan Red pendleton blazer AMN made me buy!

So, how was your week! BTW, it's been 95+ here all week! Where are my feet?

:eek:

just waiting for the report on my MRI, Iknow, I know, I shouldn't worrie. but I am anxious to see what they found. I dont know who wouldn't be. glad to know you here everyday Sally, I'll start droping you a line. I'll get my report today and I'll let you know what they found.
hugs
april.

Geez Cheryl, I need you to come here and do something cool with my landscaping.

It's been really hot here too. I really hate the 90 + temps. I'm waiting for my awning to be delivered and installed. The old awning is tattered from wind damage but it was about 8 years old. It sure helps cut down the sun on my deck in the afternoons.

Cheryl, as your headed for DC Sunday my son is coming home from that area on Sunday, he has been there for ten days and I will be glad to have him home.

Good luck with your presentation;)

I would love to come do something cool with your back yard LeeAnn! When we get all done today, I will take some final pictures and post them. It's been quite a project and a lot of fun!

I will be sure to wave at any passing airplanes tomorrow, if I am awake! I usually sleep on airplanes! Unless of course, I am doing the flying. :wink:


I hope you you find out soon what's going on April. I will stop by later and catch up! Off to work now!

Hey!

Let's see what has Taffy been up to....

Had a neuro appt. He agreed that I have been having a relapse since March. That's why both thighs feel like I have bee stings in them and someone using a cow prod on one!
(A cow prod is an electric zapper you use on cows to make them move.)

He wanted to know why I didn't come in March. "Uh...... I booked a trip to Hawaii and went there instead?" He looked at me like I am an idiot (I am) and said...Did you have a good time? I looked at him like he was an idiot and said..."Uh....Dude...it was Hawaii!"

He saw the spots on my thighs...wow, he said, you have some big bruises on your legs. "Those are not bruises. THOSE are the lovely side-effects from REBIF." Uh...sorry.

Then I am out minding my own business, walking across a rocky parking lot, when out of the blue the ground decides to jump up to my face. Thats right, one minute I see buildings and trees and the next, rocks and dirt. Oh man! So DH helps me up (it was his dumb idea to walk on the walk...blame him...blame him!) and of course you look around to see if anyone has seen you! Nope! Body check...No blood or broken bones...just gonna be bruises..could feel one on my hand and knee coming right then

Right now my ribs are killing me.

Did I learn anything?

I am an Idiot! Walk slower...choose a better route..take the offer arm......
but I am not changing my decision about Dr. vrs. Hawaii.

May I have chcocolate now please? I could really use a hit!

First, my condolences upon the death of your cane. That's the only thing I can come up with for the reason why you have taken a fall. Or did you just forget it! Duh Dude...brain fart? Glad you are ok....would hate to lose you.

I like the Hawaii vs Doctor idea. I think I've done that a time or two. Geez, you'd think they'd understand. Afterall, I think they go on vacation in lieu of seeing patients! LOL!

So, guess what I did today? I worked all day. Wanna know what else I did? I found a white shirt to go with my BEA-U-TI-FUL Tartan Red Pendelton Blazer that AMN forced me to buy to wear on Monday to the FDA conference. Yep, I did. I found one. And it was on sale too.

I am off to bed. Gotta get up at Oh-dark-thirty to catch my flight to DC. Check in with y'all later tomorrow! Don't have too much fun while I'm away. :D

Oh and Taffy, I am taking my laptop with me! Just thought I'd let you know!

:wink:

Wait....I am innocent on that part.....

I left out an important part of my story I see. My good foot/leg tripped on some junk pipe that was sticking out of the ground.

Totally innocent...I swear...

Anyways...you got the jacket...you got the shirt...you got your 3 oz. items in your ziploc baggie and your got your laptop!

You will be great!

Full report expect!

What an honor!

Geez, Taff, that was your opening to become independently wealthy! A pipe sticking out of the ground smacks of lawsuit in this country where frivolous litigation is a national pastime. I'm disappointed in you!

Flygirl, you do know that the jacket alone will command respect and the full attention of your admiring audience. Power-wear has its own brand of panache and it will deliver for you in fine style. Just skip that latte on the way to the hearing, no point in taking foolish risks!

Yes, she will get everyone attention if she wears the jacket alone! But I hope she wears a shirt underneath! lol

We have arrived in DC! Mary and I are here. We have had dinner, dessert, and are putting the finishing touches on my presentation for tomorrow. Red jacket is hanging in the closet, white shirt is ironed, and black slacks are hung up as well. Shoes shined and all ready to go!

Mary and I are ready for bed! Night everyone! :D

sounds like your prepared!!!!!! good luck!
april.

SHEESH Taffy...poor baby. Are you sore today?

Cheryl, I can't wait to hear how it all went. I know you will be great. I'm proud to call you my friend.

I did a bunch over the weekend, so, except for a few phone calls, i'm a vegetable today..:wink:

Cindy, please get your puter fixed. I miss your docile tones.:D

:grouphug: For All

No need to get sarcastic, Sal! Geez! My computer is fine, my server messed up and I quit it. I can't even get email there anymore. I just changed it in my profile to my dumpsite email, so I can at least be somewhat available.

I've been commuting to Wi-Fi hotspots but have a limited battery life so an hour or two is all it can handle with surfing. As soon as Earthlink "releases" my phone line, I'll switch. They have some exclusivity agreement with the phone company to give them a few days' cushion time to try and talk me out of it. Good bloody luck, I'm sick of talking at deaf people in foreign countries.

Yes, I'm a little bitter after 12 years of loyalty and advocacy for them. I'd like to tell them where to go but I'm not sure that Jabawhannie is trained in English expletives.

Cindy
 

Is so right by the time i get off the phone with these people,i understand
my Neuro better or maybe see understands me. Shoot now don't know
which is which.
Taffy want to share lawyers (your pipe) and last week in wheelchair
dumb guy with big cart hits me,and knocks me around 3 times,he
stopped long enough to say OH didn't see you there. I'm almost
positive i have wheelchair lash. Maybe we could all go to Hawaii
together. hmmm it's a thought. I hope i can move my arm and leg soon.
and you can walk without big bruises. :eek: I saw him coming Sue

Booking flight now!

WHOT??:eek:


Mary as in MBS? Are the two of you loose in DC together??....turns the channel to the DC news station to see what comes of this dangerous combination...:p

RW....good point. Very well could be the one! Don't worry those two won't get into trouble.

(runs off to dig into sofa for bail money!)

You can breathe easy, RW, they know better than to mess up their good clothes... on the other hand I've seen FG after a couple glasses of TH...

*diving into La-Z-Boy to help Taff with the bail fund*

Better look for lots of bail money. It's expensive here!

Yep RW, it be Mary and me in DC! But we are both a couple of lightweights. It's 8:30 and we're both in bed! Last night we were up past midnight putting together my speech into Power Point presentation. Mary decided I needed to be more "professional" so she put it into PP. The MS patient from Idaho did a PP presentation this morning! Woohoo! I only had one slide ahead of my mouth! Not bad! And for someone who talks as much as me, that ain't bad!

And I even pronounced progressive multi-focal leukoencephalopathy! But when I was asking questions later I couldn't say Blue Cross Blue Shield to save my life! Ended up just saying BCBS!

Overall, it went well today! (so Mary keeps telling me!)

:D

A red jacket and a power point!

(fainting)

How cool was that?

(very!)

Now that yours is over..you can sit back relax and take in everyone else's!

Cheryl wants to know why there wasn't chocolate waiting for us in our room, Taff? We were very good. :D

In fact, a gentleman from Celgene thinks "we" are fascinating. :p

Cindy.....more bail money...STAT!:eek:

You ARE both fascinating!

We want pictures in front of some famous monument! Or at least in front of the red jacket!

:Thats-Funneh:( OMG, they are down there romancing drug reps! )

Wake up and smell the tainted cash, RW! Those aren't pharm reps, they're dealers!

Taff! I'm going over to QuickCash to write a bad check, this is going to get ugly!

:eek: mebbe the pics will be mug shots!!

...runs over and empties out the vacuum cleaner bag onto the floor and digs out all the floor pennies I vacuumed up last week...

OMG, so you are safely back in your rooms?? Unbelievable!

I have no doubts that you were incredible, believable, professional, and all that other good stuff.

You did protect the innocent, correct?

OK, I decided to use this thread to announce my rediculous, almost catastrophic and quite scary scooter accident yesterday.:eek:

I was going to the front door to answer it. My yard people were here to cut the grass and stuff, so I opened the door and gave them the okie dokie...Since it hadn't rained much,the grass wasn't long but uneven.

I closed the door and then remembered something I had forgotten to tell them, so I opened the door and my scooter was in go forward, so I went through the storm door and stopped right before toppling onto the porch...scooter and all.:eek: :eek:

I hollered HELP, and the guys came running and pushed me back into the house, keeping me from falling on my face. I was too scared to be imbarrassed, (until later:icon_redface: ) and was shedding tears. They were so nice and trying to comfort me.

The one Fellow is coming back today to make my storm door proper again. My scooter and I did a pretty good, tearing it from the hinges, job.:ooo:

Well, you know what happens then. You start thinking.."should I still be living alone"? I wish I were rich enough to have a live-in Bodyguard...maybe like Kevin Cosner..:p I do not ever want to go into a resthome...no way, no how.:mad:

I'm Ok. I didn't hurt myself...other than my pride, but it could have been worse. What if noone had been there?:eek:

Anyway, I blame my dog for the whole fiasco. He was barking, loudly, the whole time this was happening. He had me so befuddled, I couldn't hear, think, or anything. :rolleyes: Damn Dog is his middle name.:D

I'm done ranting. Just tell me I'm going to be OK. Thanks.

:grouphug:

Sally
 

:hug: It IS going to be OK. :hug: You are ok, the door will be ok.

It wouldn't have happened if someone wasn't there for you to say something to. I don't know you that well, but I doubt you suddenly get the urge to open your door and say something randomly:D with or without an audience.

Take a deep breath or too. You are doing great. Have a calm day. :)

Damn dog! (Stuffing cotton balls in dog's mouth....)

There...I fixed dawg for you Sally!

You will be ok Sal...it was an accident that's all.

I am glad you are ok. :hug:

(muffled sounds from dog)

So is dawg! Oh look at you. You are so cute with your little chipmunk cheeks. Come here so Auntie Taffy can pinch em'. Were are you running off to dawg? Come back here. Dawg?

Taffy shrugs and goes off to look for her piggy bank. Finds it. Shake. Shake.
Does she break it now in case FG needs the dough?

YIKES Sal!!!! Sorry about your misshap.... But, glad you are OK!

I think it was just that.... an ACCIDENT! Doors can be fixed, pride can be shoved to the wayside, but our Sally is OK and that's the only thing that matters....

I also think you should stay in your home as long as you want to and can .... You'll know when you need help.

*googling Keven Costner* :winky:

wow Sally! wasnt expecting that post. glad your ok though. I know you were looking for some action in your life but we need to find you some different kind of action heh,heh. although the Kevin Costner thing sounds great. and I agree with taffy, dam dog! LOL. take care of yourself.
hugs
april.

Holy moly, Sal! How scary! I've accidentally gotten my throttle stuck in purse straps/sleeves, etc. but usually I just ram something on the same level. That is waaaay scary, but I'll bet you'll never let that happen again!

As the others said, you're okay and yes, you will be fine! Don't give up until you're ready, Sal, I'd cry if you did.

Oh Sally,
This is from Kevin!:Heart:
And this from me.:hug:

All the best,
Chris

Thanks for the reassurances Pals...I knew I could count on you. I feel much better already.

I think I'm giving Damn Dog to EM, for a service dog. Muahahahaha.

Not to change the subject, but, what does it mean when it's lightening and thundering with the sun shining? That's what it's doing here right now.:confused:
