Sarah - I hope you are feeling better soon - we miss you too!

Renee - OMG I am so sorry I haven't been paying attention. I heard about Sandy's sons so glad they were not involved and glad they are ok. This is not what she need right now with everything else going on. Lots of :hug: Sandy

Kayo - I love the pic's - I so wish I could go to your farm on vacation.

PrettyGirl - Valentine's Day must of been good for you?


~~~~~~~

Hope everyone has a good week. Say a little prayer on Wednesday that my final goes good! Today I am heading to meet my daughter and father who had birthday's this week. DD turned 20 & Dad 76.

My legs are really bothering me along with my shoulders and arms which is fairly new for me. I have been dropping stuff and fell last night when my legs just gave out. Glad I was close to the bed and I went that direction.

Have a great day everyone!

NaeNae 02-16-2008 08:57 AM

Gee Sandy if you let me know where you're at I could call you! Glad your mom is doing well without the meds that would only make her confusion worse. I hope she clears up soon! And I posted on your other thread I am sending superman to stop your spinning world.

Going to try going to a glass class later with a girl who is going to teach me all about using the kiln and the firing process.Darn arms don't wanna work for crap today figured I might as well do something! Will be glad when I get to start the Tysabri maybe it will help some of this!!

Cog-fogging a bit today, so I'm just a checkin' in. LOL, payment for the running around I did on my day off.

Lunch with my friend went ok. She's doing fine. Went shopping too. :D

Spent half a day a little shaken up over a strange thing that happened yesterday. Posted it in a different thread.

Hope everyone has a good weekend. :hug:

NaeNae 02-16-2008 09:58 AM

Fin buy a security system they install the whole thing for a hundred bucks and it costs you like 35-39 a month! that or get a really big dog! I had that happen to me in an apartment I lived in before and they were trying to break the door in! Thankfully the police got there in time and caught them!

NaeNae 02-17-2008 06:26 PM

Hey everyone...it must be nice where yall are at too because noone has been online! Just went to the beach the past couple of days and groceries etc.

SandyC 02-17-2008 11:52 PM

Just checking in. Renee I sent you my cell phone number. Mom is confused and gets mad at us when she can't do word association. The nurse says this is normal. Gosh, we hope so. I plan to be at the hospital in the morning to catch the doctor. I may have to wear my running shoes!

Kitty 02-18-2008 05:45 AM

Good Morning everyone! We had terrible thunder storms here yesterday afternoon and evening but it's all cleared out now. No snow predicted for us.....:(

It's a school holiday today - President's Day! That means I get to watch my neighbors kids jump on their trampoline all day! They all have so much energy - and giggle and screech the whole time they are playing. It's so nice to watch kids having fun outside for a change! I love to hear them laugh! :)

Wow, Sarah, you head out to work early! :eek:

Everybody have a great Monday! :grouphug:

FinLady 02-18-2008 08:34 AM

Hi all :) It's a new day, and it's a cloudy one. Depending on which weather person you listen to we get rain,snow, or nothing. LOL, I think they are all confused.

Made it through our Daytona 500 party yesterday. It was fun. Our boy got a top ten finish, so he did ok. (Dale Jr. fan) My godson's favorite driver won, so I couldn't begrudge it too much. :D

Hope everyone has a great day today!

~~~~

Renee, Thanks for the advice, hun. We already have an alarm system. We've lived in some interesting places in the past, and the first thing that got installed when we got the house was that. :)

Sandy, :hug: Hope what's going on with your mom is only temporary and part of the recovery. Hope the doc can give you some answers about this.

Vonn, So much snow up your way. :eek:

Sarah, :hug: Sorry to hear that everything's acting up today.

sugarboo 02-18-2008 11:33 AM

Morning all,
After a foot and a half of new snow fell last week, it was followed by the Chinook winds. Right now its 44 degrees and snow is melting. Time to put on the shorts and pretend its spring for the moment :) Should be back to cold in a few days....but the warmth is heading your way!

Hope all is well in tornado country today!

Make it a good week!

Hey GJ ... I love it that you're braving the winter to wear shorts ... I would too ... are the winds coming my way?? I'm just south of Lake Superior! thanks, sweetie!!

***UPDATE***

we have lots of snow ... and I'm waiting to see if any of my plow-driving neighbors will be neighborly and come and plow my driveway out - or I'm going to barrel-thru it on my own tomorrow!

just posted in the 'feeling good' thread ... I'm getting information for attending and SELLING my artwork at the Great Lakes Lighthouse Festival this fall in Alpena, Michigan .. AND she just emailed that I can also bring along table runners and such to sell!!

okay - going to make it another good day .. more returns to get done!! and get paid for!! still nothing yet from SSDI ... so, I'm writing to the Hon.Steven Kagen (for wisconsin) about my plight ... and also - have to call my employer - they've now terminated me .. but heck - they can wait .. they've made me wait for 3 - 10 months at a time to answer me!

be good ever-one ... Renee, darling, sweetie ... guess I will have to come out this summer for some 'sea-glass' ... :)

soxmom 02-18-2008 01:06 PM

FinLady 02-19-2008 09:54 AM

60 on sunday, teens on tuesday. Good grief, no wonder everyone's sick in my neck of the woods. :rolleyes:

Yesterday was a good day. Went out to dinner at an Italian resturant for my b-day. Hubby got me a ring (combo valentines and birthday gift), and everyone's impressed so far with his choice. He does a good job sometimes ;)

I'm hoping today will go ok. Not feeling too well and debating on calling off of work.

:hug: Hope everyone has a good day today

NaeNae 02-19-2008 10:19 AM

:Birthday: :Dancing-Chilli:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENN!!!

Sounds like hubby did you right!! Glad you had a good time!

Today have appt with uhbby this afternoon,carpet/upholstery cleaners were here this morning, maid coming Friday wooohoooo clean house!!!

CayoKay 02-19-2008 10:50 AM

mornin' everyone!

and happy belated birthday, Finny... glad you got a present you like... but sorry you're not feeling all that hot today.

my update:

got three ducks on nestfuls of eggs now, in da duck condos under my house.

this being the tropics, houses are built up on pillars, to help keep things cool.

this morning, I noticed that a CHICKEN has joined the ducks in condo-ville, and is adding eggs to the duck's nest.

they're NOT supposed to be able to get IN there, but this is a small chicken, and when ya gotta lay an egg, well... ya just GOTTA!

since chicken eggs take 21 days to hatch (versus 35 for the ducks) I'm going to have to CRAWL under the house (in the duck poop, :eek: ) and remove the chicken eggs...

otherwise, I'll have some REAL confused critters here, baby chickens following Mama Ducky, and trying to SWIM in da pond, yikes!

and it's real hard to tell the eggs apart, plus, Mama Duck can't COVER that many eggs at once...

AND, I have to watch closely, for when Mama Ducky takes a break, and comes out to eat and drink.

'cause I don't wanna wrestle with her defending her nest.

she's FIERCE !!!

after I correct the problem temporarily, gonna have to figure out a long-term solution, some sort of segregation of the species...

:cool:

FinLady 02-19-2008 10:58 AM

Renee, Glad to hear about the house getting clean! That is cool! :cool:

Kay, LOL, just picturing a chicken trying to swim. :D Sorry to hear you have to sort through the eggs to keep that from happening.

CayoKay 02-19-2008 11:24 AM

:D

NaeNae 02-19-2008 11:30 AM

LOL She's gonna have quacking chickens and chirping ducks! Do not envy you the job of nest robbing!

BTW talked to Sandy last night briefly, they were packing up and heading home! I told her to call when she was safely back to Illinois! She is looking forward to some time with the boys after their trauma last week and I bet they will be glad to have Momma and Dad back home for comfort!

Vonn, Thanks for the car :D

Running a fever, yipee. Caught something going around. :rolleyes: Not being as stubborn as yesterday and staying home. I'll be a good girl and take it easy today.

SandyC 02-20-2008 01:57 PM

Honey I am home! Jim and I are sad to leave mom but we are glad to be home. Nik is home with us but Chris stayed in Dekalb. He is wanting to be near school right now and is over needing mom and dad. Jim has PTS from the shootings but is coming around. What a week this family has had!

Renee, I forgot to call you when I got home. I fell asleep as soon as I hit the couch! LOL I also have a sore throat today. Yippie!

Vonn07 02-20-2008 05:58 PM

Hey there everybody!! :)

had my 6-month appt with my neurologist today - and she 'understands' what I'm facing .. and she wants to work with me this summer - she wants to help me (even scripts) that will help me with energy and my 'social anxiety' ... will be an ongoing prescription for me. I'll see her again - the end of september ...

I told her I got my old-goofy self back by not returning to the shrinkologist (and told her how I was treated) ... and figured I can do better without that treatment .. and I told her that I quit the z and vyvanse ...

and, I told her how I'm working on making quilts for the vision-impaired - I thought she was going to fall out of her chair ... she's so proud of me - and agrees that I can't do a 'day' job .. just because I go to school for my master's....

thanks ... going into finals ... and still taxes ... keep smiling!! :)

Blues Girl 02-20-2008 06:11 PM

Hey everyone! It's soooo good to be back! My computer's harddrive got zapped two weeks ago during a thunderstorm. I've been going stir crazy! Got it up and running a few days ago, then I came down with a stomach virus....ugh! Anyway, just wanted to pop in and say "Hi" before I cruise around to get caught up. I've missed you guys!!:grouphug:

SandyC 02-20-2008 06:18 PM

Hiya Tara!!!!

NaeNae 02-20-2008 07:16 PM

Hey Tara glad to have you back!!!!

Hi Sandy :p I posted on your thread.

SandyC 02-20-2008 07:32 PM

I saw that and I am sorry for not calling you Renee. I am also glad I came home Tuesday because the roads were ice last night.

Funny story. I was driving and right after Paducah Kentucky the lines in the road were rising up into the air. That's a good sign that your tired right? I pulled over at a rest stop and Jim and I slept for two hours! I only wanted to shut my eyes...lol I woke up so disorientated that I almost went back to sleep.

Today I rested and took Bergie for a urine culture. Why is everyone having UTI's? I still have a sore throat too. UGH I called mom today and Aunt Mable was changing her bandage. I reminded mom that it wasn't supposed to be changed unless it gets wet. She told me it keeps falling off. I said "Well, yeah, if you keep throwing a winter hat on it that will happen." She told me Aunt Mable wrapped the tape all around her head. OMG, I can only imagine what is going on in that house!

Don't forget the eclipse tonight everyone!

tkrik 02-21-2008 12:21 AM

Hey Everyone!

I have been so busy in my own little world and I haven't posted much. However, I have not forgotten you guys and think of you often.

I had a great MRI last week which showed no disease progression over the past YEAR!!!! So thrilled am I. No wonder I have been feeling pretty good lately (with the exception of losing my grip strength and vision trouble - neuro attributes it to a viral syndrome). No 'roids for me. YIPEEE!

I have been busier that usual with work as well. Although sitting still for long periods kills me, my bank account will really enjoy being fed some more. LOL.

I promise I will try to post more often. Like in the a.m. while I'm having my coffee and DD16 is getting ready for school. And Fin always plumps the pillows up so nice it makes it so cozy. LOL.

CayoKay 02-21-2008 02:04 AM

Sarah, and NaeNae, you guys motivated me to dig out the pix of my kids (from way back in the dark ages :D ) when they were learning to crawl and walk.

ah, sweet memories! :hug:

when the ol' MS starts foggin' da brain :winky: , it's nice to have photos to pore over, and see the kids doing things, and that brings the memories flooding back in!

so, I hope you're taking lots of pix... :cool:

TK, great news on the MRI there!

Sandy, lol, I'm picturing your mom with a giant cartoon TURBAN of white bandages around her head... thank heaven for small favors, at least Auntie Mabel isn't using duct tape!

Tara, I know how ya feel!

got zapped by a zinger last year, that fried everything, even my surge protector! luckily, my husband is a computer geek, and we were able to put things back together.

Finny, rest dear! and fluids! and molly-coddling galore! hope you're feeling better soon...

NaeNae (again, lol), I finally managed to stop getting UTIs with a combo-attack-prevention program... involving drinking copious amounts of water (before, during, and after... certain activities) taking cranberry pills, and juice, and using baby wipes to carefully clean after going to the lavatory, and doing you-know-what.

at this point, it's been almost TWO years since my last UTI, which makes Kay a very happy girl.

my update: long day today, trip to the Capitol of Belize (Belmopan) for shopping... they have all the embassies there, so the stores have LOTS of interesting and useful things, like high thread-count sheets, good towels, excellent kitchen supplies, etc.

very happy to have found the TILES to match our pattern, so we can finish off the last few feet of the screened porch, and the back steps... and a broom with dust-pan attached, so I can sweep without all that bending and squatting down...

and at a school supplies store, I found a CORK BOARD for my postcards from y'all !! yeah, just TRY pinning up cards on cement block walls! I didn't want to use tape, as that might peel the paint...

also, found some hard-to-get animal supplies (salt licks, feeders) and secure feed storage containers (we get possums, jaguarundi, coatimundi, and other night-thieves making raids, not to mention the BUGS! :eek: )

got home, and was sooooooo tired, I just sat there stunned in a daze... even had to have my hubby remove my AFOs, and bring me water...

we were BOTH glad that our sweet neighbor brought over a pot of Escabeche con Pollo, and Arroz Blanco... (chicken soup with rice, lol!) as she somehow knew we were going to come back late and exhausted.

now, my only problem is... without a nappy yesterday, I fell fast asleep last night at 7 pm, and am now WIDE AWAKE at 1 am! and darnitall, I missed the eclipse! (wah!)

NaeNae 02-21-2008 07:36 AM

Kay I too missed the eclipse don't feel bad and I did the same thing...well kinda...I fell asleep at 11 and woke up at 2! Been up all night arghhhh why did I forget to take a sleeping pill?

We think my UTI's may be a tad more than UTI's I have to have an ultrasound and a bunch of labs done next week......

Sandy....thanks for the mental pic I almost covered the screen in coffee!
