you just love to slip those little giggle-bits in sideways, don't'cha?



'tweren't the mailman anyway, I heard it was the cable guy.

very good Kay was wondering if anyone caught that one, and i'll give you cable guy lol

Arghhhh!!!! That dern urologist never called. Jim is telling him tomorrow if he doesn't have time to at least call to say he doesn't have an answer yet...pass him to the next doctor. Period. Jim is really standing up for himself and I kind of like it. It's usually me. I think he may get lucky soon. lol

ride 'im Cowgirl San !!

lol no comment have a ball

thanks sandy for helping me out never thought i would be able to find what you found, thanks

Frank, whenever I am stuck like that I just type in the question in comcast or google search. In this case I typed: "who died in the end of west side story?" and it came up.

Lor - Saying prayers for you and your family. Check in and let us know how your FIL is doing. I am glad that who ever that person was (neighbor, friend) called you to let you know.

Barb - Are you awake yet? Nah, you're probably still snoozing away in your new comfy bed. LOL. I check out the pics of your adorable niece. Thanks for posting them.

Kay - You are so sweet. I told DDs that I had a duck named after me in Belize. I was so tickled and they look at me like I was so nuts. LOL. I even showed them the pictures.

Sandy - UGH!!! I hope the urologist calls today. That is so frustrating. Keep calling until you get an answer. I am glad Jim is standing up for himself. When you feel crappy all the time it is hard to do that. Good Job Jim!

Fin - I'm glad you had a good time with your family.

Weave - YAHOO!!! Schooling is over for the summer. Yeah!!!

Hi everyone else. I hope you all have a good day and are doing well.

It rained here!!!! I was so excited last night. That is a good indication that our monsoons will be starting soon. The nice thing about the monsoons is the quick break in the heat as the temps can drop right before, during, and a little bit after. Additionally, with the rain it helps with all the dust and allergens floating in the air which will help DD16 and myself.

DD16 is slowly improving. She is still somewhat dizzy but is moving around better. Yesterday she didn't drink all that much and I was getting worried about her. With the medicine she is on, it can dehydrate you fairly quickly. I explained it to her and she finally started drinking more as she doesn't want to get dehydrated and have to get another IV. Today I am really going to push the liquids on her.

Well the doctor never called last night. Jim is waiting for the nurse to call back. He's going to tell her to tell Dr Sobel to pass his case to one of the other urologist who can take care of him or have our medical records ready for pick up tomorrow. Period. We are so done. He may be good at what he does, but if he can't remember to call his patients when he says he will he's not the kind of doctor we need. It's been two weeks. We can go back to the VA and get this type of treatment.

Trish, hope your daughter feels better soon!

I'll try to get a better photo of Trish... but she's just sooooooo camera-shy lately.

probably because she has all those ducklings underfoot, and is being protective and a good momma.

that's why she's named after YOU, honey !!



too bad Trish's gorgeous white plumage is a recessive trait, did you see only ONE of the 9 babies takes after her?

when they're all fuzzy YELLOW at birth, that means they'll turn out white when they grow up...

also, did you notice Trish has her feather CREST raised on top of her head?

that's the duck's "alarm" mode, when they're worried or nervous, meaning I was getting too close for her comfort.

this afternoon, I'll go into the nursery with a book, and set quiet for an hour, lurking with my camera, until she relaxes and gets accustomed to my non-threatening presence... THEN maybe I'll get a good photo of her?

dang, and didn't you have such high hopes for this new doc?

wasn't he the one you guys bonded so well with?

darn, that makes me sad...

nowadays I always try to give 'em the benefit of the doubt.

last time I reamed out my doc for forgetting something he promised to do, it turned out that his mother had died, and I felt so bad for giving him a lecture.

it's hard to remember sometimes that doctors are people too, and not some super beings, lol !

anyway, I hope it all turns out well, whichever way it goes, and Sobel better have a DARNED good reason for his forgetfulness.
