Yeah, he wasn't Mr Popular.
The boy's teeth are literally rotting / chipping away. He has one that's chipped all the way down to the gumline. He said, "I wish I would have brushed more when I was younger.'
Really? What were you doing every day when I sent you to the bathroom to brush your teeth?
Ugh.0 -
I really hope those things help her. It's so hard, seeing them struggle, isn't it? Should that work straight away? I thought anti-depressants generally take a few weeks to kick in. Are anti-anxiety meds quicker?rungirl1973 wrote: »
Yes, for anxiety. A previous doctor had tried a couple of things that didn't seem to help at all, so she's trying Pristiq and Klonopin temporarily for immediate relief.
My daughter has to have another blood test this week, which will test her iron but also her thyroid function. She was put on the seasonal pill to reduce her heavy periods, but she's had constant bleeding ever since she started taking in (6 weeks), so it seems counter-productive. I know these things take time to settle down, so I'm encouraging her to stick with it, but she's so exhausted and weepy all the time. It's having a huge impact on her life and I feel desperately sorry for her.

A NSV victory today. I wore a pair of jeans to work today that I haven't fit into for 7 years!!! They are still a little snug in the tummy region but 5 months ago I couldn't get them past my thighs!!0

post date update:
met the dude at a tavern downtown. really super nice guy. had good conversation, were able to laugh and joke a lot, which is awesome. not creepy and not meh (woo!) lol
issues i'm currently trying to reconcile in my brain: (remember NO JUDGEMENT)
- if i hadn't met him on a dating website, where orientation is posted, i would NEVER believe this guy is straight. i texted my friend (who is gay) that i was on a date with his straight doppelganger. so many times through out the night in my head i was just like, omg this is frank, i'm on a date with straight frank. boisterous, animated, like that always turned on and ready to take the stage personality.
- very very talkative. which isn't terrible, but he'd ask me something and half way through my story, he'd being going off on a tangent on something else, and completely cut me off. so like, a 3 minute story would take me like 10 minutes as i'd have to reel him back off the tangent, pick up where i left off and keep going. and the random tangents were funny and he had tons of interesting things to talk about, but seriously talked way more than me. way, way more.
- he's about an inch taller than me, and has a much more slender build. i'm quite "thick," i have tree trunk thighs that aren't going anywhere. so it's kinda like oh, here's dude and his fat girlfriend. and maybe that's dumb of me to think, but i do.
he did say he had a really good time and would like to see me again. which i might do to see if maybe he was just nervous/excited on the "first" date?
That's what I was thinking as you described his talkativeness.0 -

Yesterday I work up this list of all the things we need before we go camping which includes food, I plan on eating as healthy as I can while having fun. Oh and drinking, there will be drinking and I cannot wait!
ETA: I have a stash of books that I plan on reading on the beach in the sun. Any and all recommendations on here have been taken haha
If The Martian isn't in your stack, I recommend you put it there
It's an AMAZING book.

Well, the Klonopin is for immediate relief. She's to take it if something comes up and she needs it to relax in the moment.
The other script will take a couple of weeks to kick in.
I remember you talking about your daughter before, I would have hoped after 6 weeks, it would have stopped. Wow. I hope she's able to get some relief soon!0 -
I love the shoes, @pofoster21! I wear heels pretty much every day (in the office anyway...I switch to flats for my walk to and from work) and am definitely a shoe girl but I don't think I have a single pair of heeled sandals because I'm kind of weird about feet and like them to be covered. I'm jealous of the cute options for people who aren't weird like me though!
I'm currently trying to figure out what to wear with the (third...) dress I bought for the wedding this weekend because something open-toed makes way more sense in this weather, but I think my toes are too gross for the one pair of peep-toes I have....TMI WARNING: I lose my big toenails every year in March from skiing (hard boots, fast skiing, tons of pressure) so for most of sandal season they're only half grown back, which looks pretty awful.0 -
LOL! I learned when he was 12 to never walk in on him without knocking first.

I nagged and nagged my oldest to take showers, brush his teeth, change his clothes etc etc. Nothing. Then he suddenly started doing all those things and I asked him why. A girl at school had told him he smelled bad. That was all it took. I'm thinking of paying a girl at #2 son's school to do the same for him.

Hmm. I've never lost my big toenail, but I have lost others. I usually just paint the nail bed and call it a day. Nobody notices unless they're REALLY looking at my feet. Maybe you could pull that off?0 -

have the dr's thought about moving her to an IUD?
after about the first 6 months, my periods are barely a blip on the radar.
i used to have really heavy periods with debilitating cramps, but since the mirena, the difference has been amazing.0 -
I'm a teacher, so I have some extra time in June/July. However, I find myself at my least healthy during this time because I can't make myself get out of bed early enough to go for a run before it gets too hot (I live in the SOUTH - ew), or even to eat breakfast at a decent time! Plus, I drink a lot since "I don't have to work tomorrow!"
I'm supposed to be training for a half-marathon and running 20-25 miles a week, but I've only gone out once in the last two weeks because it's disgustingly humid (100% humidity from 6am til about 8:30am...GROSS) and 80* or hotter by 9am.
Confession: I MAKE EXCUSES FOR BEING LAZY AND FAT IN THE SUMMER.
I too live in the south, so I go to the gym! I can't stand running or really doing anything outside when it's above 85 or 90. Why do I live in SC again?

Hilarious. Accurate.
I've always thought that incredible grossness they master right around the time they stop being cute little kids is an evolutionary signal. It's when animal moms know it's time to kick them out and let them fend for themselves, lol. Once they start stinking up the den it's time to go
@KylerJaye, I'm glad this was a better date! Hopefully the next one goes as well.0 -

i don't think he's actually gay, but his mannerisms, personality, and the such would give me that impression if i was completely unaware.
lol, thanks! i think a second date will probably either solidify my first impressions which is he's a bit too overwhelming for me, or, he'll mellow out a bit and we can see where it goes from there.
you are adorable!
i love said friend, but can only take him in doses as he's ALWAYS "on," and it can be very exhausting.
we actually shared a few okc dating disasters and i told him about snuggle dude, so then randomly through out the night he'd toss in, "but we're totally going to snuggle later, right? how could you not trust me!!" which i thought was cute.
Aww, ok..you have to go on a second date for sure! I bet he was just nervous and he'll calm down a bit on the second date.0 -
Thanks a @Tubbs216 @mom216 and @rungirl1973!! Kind of makes up for how crabby I am at work today haha0

Walk 25000 steps (not hard at barn)
Run 1 hour
Address my chairs comments on my prospectus
Not envy @MoHousdon her husband or her vacation.
Edited to add I may not be able to achieve the last one.
Edited again for no alcohol
The last bit made me smile.
I'm currently on 1102 but I'm reading EVERY SINGLE POST so I'm properly caught up when I jump back in.

This does not compute. What is a "decent time" to eat breakfast?
I eat breakfast when I get hungry, usually 9:30 or 10:00, and I usually get up around 5:00 a.m.0 -

On Season 30 and I'm not really sure who I like and dislike. I'm kind of going for Tyler and Carolyn... and I don't like Rodney much at all. Though of course it can change... my opinions of people in these shows usually change as it progresses.
All of them! I love Survivor.

What was the prescription for? The anxiety?
