Wow Renee I'm sorry to hear about hubby. Mumps! Yuck! You all will be in my thoughts and prayers for a fast recovery. :hug:

Hey all, I am not staying on too long. Just wanted to update how my day went. Chris wrecked his car. He's fine but the bumper and hood are smashed. He took a turn and slid out of control and smashed into a light pole. Ugh WINTER sucks! My poor mom said not to worry about her bills and to get Chris's car fixed. I told her no, he's 21 and will help pay for the damages. He only has liability. I felt so bad for him since the place he turned into was the Medicine Shoppe to pick up Jim's pills. :-(

The good thing is he is fine and not harmed. It could have been far worse.

Renee, I hope your hubby feels better soon. Watch his airways if he's swelling so much. You probably know that already though. :-)

Here are the pics:

Awwww man Sandy that sucks! When it rains it pours I tell ya!

Watching hubby's airway, I have threatened him within an inch if he starts having breathing trouble and doesn't tell me! Today both sides are all swollen and he looks like a chipmunk poor thing :(

Good news my disability hearing has been assigned to the judge and he sent a letter to my attorney telling him to get my medical stuff together and write him a letter about why I should be on disability and he would consider making a fully favorable decision without going to hearing!

oh, San!

my son did a similar thing to his Taurus...

argh, winter driving!

glad to hear your son's OKAY, that's the MOST important thing.

:hug:

Renee, :hug: Sorry to hear about your hubby maybe having the mumps. ugh.

Sandy, Glad Chris is ok.

Kay, Yet another reason for me to want to visit you down there, LOL. I'm a history buff, so ancient mayan ruins would facinate me.

DizySara, Welcome.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

If I forgot anyone, sorry. Still a little cog-froggy. :(

Yesterday was spent between puttering around the house, taking my antibiotics, and sleeping. The meds are working because everything's loosening up. :)

Hubby got us a new faucet because he was sick of the cheap one the general building contractors put in. He also updated the plumbing since they used the cheapest connectors they could fine. (the joy of building developments) It looks great, and the water pressure is better! :)

hi, Sara!

can't wait to hear more from you...

welcome.

:hug:

Good morning everyone!

Renee - Hope dh gets better soon and the rest of you don't get it. Seriously, true story. I had my MMR when going to kindergarten. Then some time in the 70's they found that people born between certain years needed to get the MMR again because the shots weren't effective. So in Jr. High I got it again. Then since my immunization records were lost, when I was teaching preschool while in nursing school I had to get it again. When I went to work at the hospital I had to show proof. The State lost the records from when I had the shot in the early '80's. So, I had to get it again! I've had the dang shot 4 times. I'll be dam*ed if I get the mumps, measles, or rubella. I kept a record of when they gave it to me when I started working at the hospital.

Sara - Welcome. I don't have insomnia but DBF gets it and I can totally understand the frustration you go through.

Sandy - Glad DS is OK. When do you leave to go be with your Mom?

Fin - Glad the antibiotics are starting to work. That "melting" feeling never felt so good huh?

I know I have forgotten some of your posts. Heck, with my limited memory (LOL) and 3 pages to read through I just can't remember all the posts.

My update - Laundry. What else is new for my weekends. LOL. No work on the rental this weekend. We are taking a weekend off. I did wash A window yesterday. LOL. Hopefully I will get inspired and get busy on my painting this weekend. DBF wants to hang a few in the house to add splashes of color and make it seem more inviting when he goes to show it to prospective renters.

Hope everyone has a wonderful and peaceful Sunday!

Thanks everyone for your thoughts on Chris. I bet he'll take turns much slower from now on! The main thing is he is OK. He'll take the car in on Monday to get an estimate. He has to get the hood to unlock at least.

Today we are going to do some packing. We leave next Sunday. We'll travel in the day due to the weather. I really like driving at night but with this crazy snow I don't want to be in a ditch at night all alone. LOL

two award-winning LOLs... duly noted and much-appreciated:

"Rhodesian Rump Rot"

and "Spit, not Swallow" on the Tekillya!

I soooo love my giggle-buddies here...

:grouphug:

gosh - darn - willi-kers ...

(all in fun - but I liked the soapbox, not the red dude! LOL) :Soapbox:

I can't leave yous guys alone for any length of time!! you're like little 'playing mice' when the cat is away ... what's this: measles? mumps? quarantine? car wrecks? med mishaps?:yikes:

:holysheep:you all should be whipped with a wet noodle!!!

oh, ME??? mah-wah??? LOL .. still no water .. suppose to get to 44 degrees today ... that's uh, over 70 degrees in change since wednesday!

we got over 2 inches of snow yesterday (uh, duh! - the weather forecast was ONLY for a dusting!) ... but, I ventured down to Green Bay ... and made over $500 ... got paid BEFORE even doing the returns!! but, it's all going toward the quilt corporation - so I can get that rolling by spring!

QUESTION: I want to get a new trailer (with wider doorways, better insulation, central Air - because of my sx!, walk-in shower) ... how do I ask for help ... do I ask from the trailer-dealership?? I want to get my ducks in a row here .. and do this massive upgrade April/May .. when they (the concrete boys) can come in and put in a slab for a new trailer! :Thank you:
