Re – I’m sorry you lost [misplaced] your ring. I have not been able to find one that was given to me as a Christmas gift; but, in the move, I also could not find my “Chinese Warrior” that I bought when my BF and I went to Birmingham, AL to see the ‘showing’ of the Chinese Warrior presentation. IF it ever comes within…

;)

:D

Michele – Could you take your own music and ear plugs; and, leave one out so you could hear his instructions? Two days, haven’t done any exercise. Yesterday was beautiful! Day before and today, major storms. Spend time with the kids while they came down to ‘ride it out’. Easter basket idea? Maybe one with healthy things…

Katla - My 'girls' got smaller as I lost weight, too! Good to get back to a more 'manageable' size; and NO MORE SIDE BOOBS (under the arm). So now when I put my arms down it doesn't feel like they are pointed at an angle. That also meant 'new bras' for me. Went to Dillard's and the same bra I bought 3 years ago for $38; is…

Joyce - When my DDnL#2 got asked a question about ‘abortion’; she asked her ‘where she had heard that word’. He teacher had brought up the word in a conversation … this child is a 5th grader. She left work, went to the school, raised HELL with the Headmaster; called the man who practically owned the Charter School – he was…

Becca – Hope you can keep your Internet connection with us. We all ‘enjoy’ the comments you have to say; that goes for you, too, Re and Lanette! Actually all of you give good advice with ‘stories’ to tell. Michele and Pip – I would never make it to the “Y” if I had to ‘tote’ my stuff there every time I went (did not have a…

Joyce – To open up 2 windows (at least for me, I use Windows and Outlook – might not work on anything else); I will minimize the ‘community’ window [upper right-hand corner, next to the “X” there should be an icon that looks like one page in front of the other. When I hit that icon, the entire page gets smaller (doesn’t…

Michele – That’s really sad; but, I am sure that our DDnL#1 has been ‘talked into staying with DOS' by many people, him and his in-laws; but, it is a bad relationship because of her ‘fetish’ with FB. She’s got that as her “Home Page” on her cellphone and it is ‘on’ 24/7. She might miss something. If it went off as much as…

Michele – I have a former HS classmate of mine whose son married a woman who allowed her mother to rule her life; and, she did. So much that she filed for a divorce once they had a baby. She now lives with her mother and he is fighting for custody, or at least, to get visitation that he was granted – exercised. Right now,…

Lisa – Has your son ever been deployed overseas? BPD – what do this initials stand for? Bipolar Disorder? I know that the younger it appears, something the wider the moods swing. I go for therapy 4x a year; basically, to make sure that the Seroquel, Clozapine, and Geodon I take for Bipolar Disorder are tweaked, along with…

Sue in WA – I know it would be too heavy if full; but, have you thought of making a 2 high concrete block wall to put the water trough in? It'd probably work better if the trough was smaller at the bottom than at the top. Pip – Thanks for the 2 extra ####!!!!! DJ – I have one pair of ‘heels’ … red ones; but, the last time…

Barbie – I feel for you. Maybe if the codeine cough medicine doesn’t work, they will consider a steroid pack. I had gone two months with a nagging hacking cough, went to the MD who last did my sleep studies because I was finding it hard to lay down and breathe even with the C-pap and he put me on Prednisone … cough GONE in…

Lost my post ...

Joyce – Elephant pregnant for 2 years; I can’t believe that any ‘competent’ OB would allow a woman to ‘go over that long’ without intervening. I would think that would not be good for the baby; and, probably not the mother either. PIP – Jump over the next ‘triple digits’ … patceoh – I try not to stress over things that I…

Becca – When my boys were younger we lived first in a split-level house, so all their toys were downstairs. They could bring up as many as 3; but, if they wanted something else, they had to replace one for the other. Later we lived is a really cute 2 story, with a high pitched roof that was over the ‘attic’ room. We had it…

Kate – I’ve heard a lot of things like ‘your body will fight very hard to NOT allow you to starve it’. But, I don’t know if there is a certain weight that it just decides it doesn’t want to get to. I know I have been told the closer you get to your goal the harder it is to lose that last few pounds … got to be more aware…

I've had a day of it. Nothing like having DH have his pipes cleaned, with catheter from HELL; but, at least they have been putting him to sleep to do it, except the one time that one of the Urologists in the practice decided to do it while he was awake. He even asked his nurses 'if they were going to help'. My Gosh, if I…

Way too far behind, so I just read the posts! I hate it when I can't check the site during the day.

Lanette – I did not do well on my food yesterday either, we went to eat Mexican and I had a Margarita and you know there isn’t too many things on their menus that is caloric intake friendly. I am reading the “Dave Ramsey Complete Guide to Money”. My DDnL#2 sent it to me and said it got her ‘out of debt’. It was a difficult…

My Mother was a HS English/Lit/Grammar teacher; and this would have been 'exactly' what she would have said to me; and, what I would have had to respond back to her, privately OR publically! My DMGD got a whipping (or being slapped at) when her mother misprounced "salmon" ... then she said, "Well, I am only doing what Nana…

TEACHER TEACHES Iffa? Coulda? Shoulda? Woulda? Coulda? Woulda? Iffa? Shoulda? Woulda? Iffa? Shoulda? Coulda? Shoulda? Woulda? Iffa? Coulda? "NO!!! ... and you know better - it is, ... Stop that MUMBLING!" If I? Could I? Should I? Would I? Could I? Would I? If I? Should I? Would I? If I? Should I? Could I? Should I? Would…

Joyce – My GP is like your Dr. C; I call him “Dr. Cutie Pie”. He is so cute!!! I told him once that I thought his wife must be very lucky to have him as a husband. He looked up, laughed, and said … she’d probably be willing to put him out on the street if he ever had the flu again. He was out of the office for more than a…

Becca – I also make a list of items and estimate what they’ll cost; when I get to grocery store, I write the cost down, rounded up to next dime. I usually can ‘count’ the number of items in my basket and multiply it by $4 and be pretty close, too. But, I have had to ask the Clerk to take off a few items for being short. It…

Barbie – HAPPY BIRTHDAY! And meeting another ‘head-strong’ Aries! Thanks to all who enjoyed my poem. It was something that has given me some Karma (for myself – the good kind). A lot don't necessarily think it is a 'positive' poem. Maybe the circumstances were not good; but, the aftermath was great. Beth – My middle sister…

o:)

Damn - Just lost my post! The times I have been coming out of an 'episode' ... I do not want to be around anybody. Just really upsets me when DDnL#1 treats me as if I am 'dangerous'. She can be very condescending with her remarks, too. One other thing that will make you lose you post, is ... when you drop your stupid…

First paragraph was a little after I found out the 'diagnosis' that I was going through was that I am "Bipolar". The following paragraphs were written after a long time of getting the 'proper' type of help and getting my medication cocktail 'tweaked' so that I stopped swinging to the manic side and slamming down on what…

Michele – I think it is: "Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind?” My oldest sister told me not long ago; when I had something to say about my DDnL#1 was (for ‘every’ bad thought or something I said’), I needed to write something ‘positive’ … even if it is the ‘same thing’. It’s been the same thing for 5 months; hasn’t…
