    I think the Dr Is trying to wait it out, and if he has to lose 2 of us to get a office manager that rakes in the money for him so be it, but this is a small town and Mary and I grew up here and know all the patients, we leave, and there will be alot leaving, and telling there friends and relatives.. so he better walk gingerly..

    Connie in KY: Sending good thoughts for your sister. :heart:

    Snowflake: Sending good wishes for your job search. :star:

    Barbara: Thank you for the good thoughts for DH’s health situation. From your lips to God’s ears! :heart:

    Viv UK: Have a grand time with your mom. :flowerforyou:

    Allie: Good luck with the work situation. While I was reading it I got a txt from my dentist reminding me that I have an appointment this morning. Dandy coincidence. :smiley:

    Megamom: I applaud you for donating your old clothes to flood victims. :star:

    Machka: I’m glad that the appointment with your DH’s main doctor went well. It appears that the clueless back to work person has a better understanding of your DH’s situation. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that things go well. :heart:

    KJ: Congrats on the news that you’ll be a grandma again! :heart:

    Margaret: I hope you have a warm up that is slow enough to keep flood threats away. :flowerforyou:



    I have a dentist appointment this morning and need to get a move on. Have a great day, everyone.

    Machka, Hallelujah! RTW-c appears to have seen the light! You are completely right in your thinking (you and hubby), going back to work would be great, but he does need to be safe. You've both been through a LOT this past year and a repeat is definitely NOT necessary!
    Pat, OH MY! Sorry to hear that you are in pain, but sure glad you didn't get stabbed with one of those shards! Also glad the chairs are gone....
    Kelly, so glad the surgery went well and CONGRATS on grandbaby #2!
    This is supposed to be a really quick post, so have to stop reading! lol
    Jumped on the scale yesterday a.m., was not happy with the number, so decided to make Tuesday my wi day. Glad I did! I'm down 1 lb since yesterday (can you say water retention????) and down .8 since last Monday, so I am a happy camper! Off to the gym shortly, then to start making the final list for what we need for our backyard project!
    Excited!

    Rebecca - I am so incredibly happy for you that your son called! Is it hard finding rentals in your area?

    Evelyn - I agree wholeheartedly about the chat and going over an hour was a good thing. I have been on the other side of the table for years and those are the people I remembered best. I just hope a decision is made soon. You still can’t find dirt to play on here, enjoy it!

    Barbara - isn’t it a pain sharing your house sometimes. There is so much I want to do but can’t do without bothering hubby. In some ways I wish I didn’t get a job until after he was back at work, but I need the money sooner than that.

    Viv - is there a way to move your Dad to the main floor so your Mom doesn’t have to go up and down. We set my Dad up in the living room so he could feel part of things and make it easier on my Mom. Can the carers time be changed a bit? I think it’s lovely you are taking your Mom out for a break, sometimes people forget how much the caretakers need a break too.

    Allie - I feel so bad for you, I have been in that situation and it’s not pleasant. I hope things resolve soon in whatever way is best for you. Good luck on your interview!

    Megamom - that must be so devastating with all of the flooding. I am from a town that flooded every spring and I know the devastation it causes. As to your hairdresser, do you find that people really don’t know what a healthy weight is? I have had that conversation with people before and they truly don’t understand or believe how healthy weight looks.

    Machka - I think it probably ended up being a good idea to have the RTW - c (chickie or coordinator), I personally like chickie, meet with the doctor. You are probably right and she is used to dealing with broken bones, cuts and such nothing as serious as what your husband has.

    Pat - so sorry to hear about your tailbone. I severely bruised mine one time, it is a terrible pain. Hope you heal fast. I have those same chairs, I have been wanting to change them for a while now.

    Kelly - it seems your talk with your husband a few weeks ago has really made him step up to help. Now to rein him in o do it in a logical manner. Hope your surgery helps your issues. Congratulations on Grandbaby #2 so exciting!

    Lisa - interesting reading that excerpt. I have often thought that we become who we hang with. I know I personally pick up traits from several different people. Too bad my husband couldn’t pick up some of my weight goals.

    I am going to do something today, I don’t know what but I have sat and did very little for too many days now. I have a lot of projects I want to do, but I wish I was in the house alone to do it. I like cranking the music and going at it. Hubby is sitting here watching tv though so I guess I’ll start in the back rooms.

    Machka, Pat and Kelly ... I concur with everything Evelyn said!

    Evelyn ... Yay for the weight loss!

    Lisa ... interesting reading. And I agree that we get "comfortable" with certain groups of people. If I'm with a group of larger women friends, we tend to be ok with overeating ... not the case when I join another group of friends who are thinner/health conscious. And this group, of course, keeps me on track with goals and accountability.

    Elaine ... Welcome!

    Allie: Hope it goes the way you want. You've had enough drama at the other job. Fresh start may be the ticket to a whole new, fun chapter. Ditto what Trudy advised. ((Hugs.))

    Pat: Yikes. Take care of that tailbone. Yes, ice is your friend.

    Heard secondhand that another cyclone weather system is due in about a week and a half. Think that's my cue to start looking at last minute fares to Mexico. B) All of you in flood plains, please be careful! Meg, you okay?

    Saw the orthopedic surgeon this A.M. and my pinkie is still fractured. :'( She can't believe I don't have pain; and is pretty much leaving it to me to decide if/when I can resume regular activities. Never thought I would miss planking, but will start slowing testing the strength of the outer hand. It's been over 3 months since injury, but I apparently am one of those people with slow healing bones. Yes, I do take calcium with D. Other suggestions welcome!

    Hi all,
    Thoughts with Allie and Tracey! <3

    Went to babysit the grands for the parents evening. :D Took a cold supper with us to eat there as we have to dash off for Swing in a minute. Cold salmon, spicy mayonnaise, grain and chickpea salad, grilled artichokes and baby spinach leaves. Deeeeelish!
    Bea was happily watching the tv with the iPad on her lap with a different programme. Edie had set her up like that because she wanted to watch something different to Edie. Clever compromise! Good negotiator.

    Off now!

    Yes, Meg, hope you are ok. <3

    Happy Let's Laugh Day!

    "What a sad place the world would be without laughter, and what a sorrowful day it is when someone goes the whole day without one little giggle. Well, today fixes that. It's Let's Laugh Day. It's a day to get rid of some daily stress with some good belly laughs. These are not teensy weensy laughs, but ginormous laughs that get everyone laughing together. You may laugh, but there really are a lot of short term and long term benefits of laughter. Laughter increases the intake of air, stimulates organs, releases endorphins in the brain, and improves mood. Laughter loosens up muscles, lowers blood pressure, and leaves one feeling relaxed. In the long term, laughter can improve the immune system, fight illness, pain, and depression. On top of all this, laughing burns calories!" Wonder if there's an exercise database entry for laughter? ;D

    Allie - Wow, how does someone get to be 32 years old and still lack professional skills?! You deserve a better job and I hope you find one.

    Heather - I admire you for finding a compromise to accomodate your son's request for child care help without giving up your own plans.

    Machka - The more I hear about the RTW coordinator, the less I like her. Sounds like she is completely clueless, not to mention insensitive and invasive. Hopefully her meeting with the doctor was a wake-up call.

    Pat - Ouch! Glad your broken chair incident didn't cause any more damage. A cracked tailbone is no fun, though. An inflatable donut might make sitting a little more comfortable while you heal.

    Kelly - Congratulations on the upcoming grandbaby! What does Joaquin think about being a big brother?

    Lisa - Interesting study about will power. I do find that "hanging out" virtually with health-conscious people here and in Noom helps keep me motivated and less likely to cheat.


    Nothing much is new over here. I'm still trying to house-train our foster puppy, and getting ready for a weekend reunion with college friends. I need to make sure the person who will foster Forrest while I'm away knows what to expect (namely poop, poop, and more poop!).

    Rori - you can take it or leave it as advice, and it may well be akin to a placebo, I just don't know, but gelatin has a good reputation for assisting in bone and joint health. You can get it in capsule form.

    Did a workout on the rebounder today. The plan for tomorrow is to take the deep water class.

    Viv – yes, I am very relieved about the Newcomer situation. I did email Adra and suggested that we meet with the new president and go over the entire membership procedure. Now, for some reason, she wants to meet with me before we meet with the new president. Why can’t we do it at the same time? I’m sorry, it’s not like I have loads and loads of time. Vince never likes to take me out to eat on Mother’s Day, and I really don’t have a problem with it

    M – I do hope that chick continues to realize that she doesn’t know everything.

    Pat – so glad you weren’t hurt worse. Please take care of yourself.

    Tues: supposed to volunteer at the Green Room. First, need to get $$ from the bank. Then to the local college to get my chin waxed. Then need to get quilting thread (I can’t seem to find mine) and some thimbles, then go to this one store to see if they have any nice sneakers. This afternoon it might be a good idea to go to WalMart since Vince needs soda. Tonight, Rummikub

    KJ – Carol just asked Vince now that we’re incorporated, he can continue to be the contact person? Ahhh…no. The contact person has to be an officer. They need a physical mailing address, not our box number. What’s involved in changing over the contact person? We’ve never done it so no idea. Hope its not too much. When we changed our fiscal year, it took a few years for the IRS to get things straightened out, no idea what’s involved here. Congratulations!!!! I’m honored that you confided in us.

    Allie – here’s hoping the new job works out

    Elaine – welcome! What part of NJ are you from?

    I'll take fresh fruit with me to Rummikub since my Lenten sacrifice is to have only fruit after dinner.

    Connie from OK – welcome to a great group

    When I said "seizure" I don't know what she thought I meant, but this was a full-on tonic-clonic seizure (grand mal seizure) and probably the scariest part was when he stopped breathing and turned blue. This wasn't just a little twitch.

    Oh, Machka. I am praying for so much peace for you and your husband. That must have been terrifying.

    Oh Lord today worse than last week..It is getting ridiculous...Michael couldnt handle when his computer went down here is a 59 yr old woman on the floor for an hour on the phone with tech support. Really this kid is 32.
    He,Mary and Dr P had a meeting and he raised his voice and called Mary a liar..and when he left he walked by me and our coworker he said I work with a bunch of babies.. rude and condescending..*kitten*..I'm scouring the internet tomorrow for a job ,I dont need the stress..

    That's horrible, Allie. I wonder what Mary said that made him so outraged. Maybe he won't last. Would you stay if he left?
