2nd time around- sorry to hear about your daughters perspective on college and you ruining her life. Lets hope she never really meets anyone who has the potential to really do that to a person. Dealing with employment issues and BC too is very hard. 

Teka

Chevyboy, doggie is cute!

Hubby is digging out from the snow storm.

At least not in a severe drought in the North Country!

Hopelessly lost on trying to catch up, on pain meds too, so, if I sound screwy --I am

Nicky so glad to see you back, great about the kids, always loved to watch fencing. Thought it was a shame they never give it much time on the Olympics TV coverage here in USA. In re: to leg, I haven't read about it in years, but there is an electrical stimulation technique for promoting bone growth for non healing fractures. I'd do the research and may do it, but I'm up to my eyeballs in stuff.

Dutch--hello, sorry about all the garbage with your ex. My DBF is in the reverse situation, his ex wife is the awful one. She had four affairs before they divorced. Then she used the law to get child support that wasn't due her. They split the kids. She had one child, he had two. The divorce decree said no child support. She then filled. Got support for two, even though she had only one. The law allowed for her to get 2 years back support. He was put behind the eight ball finacially and never recovered. It's so screwy he's still paying support on a 30 y/o and his Dd he was required to pay only until graduation or 18th B-day --that was MAY 2013. It's a juducial travesty............................. As far as school google " Clark Howard" radio guy --consumer warrior....... check his recommendations on college financing. He has several web sites he recommends. The one I remember is ---fastweb.com. It locates scholarship money. It doesn't cost anything. When filling in the info, BY PASS ---SKIP--- the check boxes of all the advertising thingys. Once the app complete, the fastweb system will send to your email that matches have been found. You then login, look at the match and apply to the ones you want. Scholarships from 50$ to 50,000(Coca-cola).  Can start applying in 9th grade. Last I heard you can apply in college and for grad school money, but could be wrong on this part. When son was of the age and I kept looking at it, it only went up to HS seniors. Worth a look.

LMG's LOL I won't be famous , I'll be "patient smith", name changed to protect her identity. But it's been an interesting process. Making myself crazy with the research. Legs swelling like crazy b/c of too much dependent time.

Gootta run BBL---son has resaerch need

Love to everyone missing you all..........Hope everyone is doing okay

I'm getting fed up with living in the TUNDRA!!! Jimmy came home from work at 1:00 am and the van got stuck at the end of the driveway. So he helped me walk down the drive so I could steer while he pushed. That wasn't working, so I got out to stand there while he got the van unstuck. 

I took a step and suddenly the icy snow broke thru. So now I'm standing in snow way above my ankles. Then I wasn't standing anymore! Just sitting there on the ground, covered in snow, can't get up without sliding more.....Butt frozen! Finally called the Fire Dept. They were awesome! Got me right up and helped me walk to the door.

I'm not hurt, but pretty sure my butt is frost bitten!

Dd was pi$$ed at me about something. Crying screaming door slamming. Yells at me I HATE YOU. I calmly told her I wasn't real happy with her either. Shut her up! Then the look on her face when she realized it went both ways was a Kodac moment. 

Teka

At least you didn't break a hip!

Teka

Out of the mouths of our dear children.

I would've never talked that way to my elders.   Slap across the chops!

Back for a few minutes, First thing this morning after the pain med the computer was DEAD. Try to trouble shoot a dead computer when pain med kicking in. Unplugged , pushed buttons did a bunch of things and then it started , no clue why.

Then had to take care of a question on the constipation thread. Also, not easy.

We have quite a few Newbies----HELLOOOOOOOOO (waving)......usually am much politer(sic?)

I like having the pain controlled, but do not like how it makes me feel. Though spacey may seem my normal, this spacey is not comfortable.

Smarrty, hope all is well post-op and Nj the same

Maddy, sorry about DD, she needs counseling. Wish I could share mine. 

Solty, ohh your poor bottom, glad nothing broke. I hate falls. Still recovering from last two dog falls in Sept&oct. Rt shoulder the worst, still hoping it continues as it is and surgery won't be needed

Wren did any of that info on NSAIDS help. I have thought that my bias may have affected what I wrote. But then the articles stood on there own. Did you attempt reading the government NIH study?

MNDeb thinking of you, hope today goes well...............

Okay off again MUAH!

Teka

Busy Owlette!!

Smaarty

I'm doing ok. The right is definitely worst than the left. Last pain pill was at 4:30 am, I'll take another in a little while.  

So here I sit broken hearted, trying to chit but only farted!

Remember that when we were kids? I'm not constipated yet, but very gassy! Will be taking something today to help things along. Yes, I'm drinking lots of fluids.

Hope everybody is surviving their weather. We got rain all night and another storm is moving in. Yeah!

Blessings2011

Just a shout-out to Nicky - thanks for sending us the rain!!! It's been POURING since about 3 a.m. 

Teka

I just got over a bout of diverticulosis because I was not taking enough Miralax.

Constipated!

Teka

You so need the rain!

Hello Smaarty, 

We know what "I am doing OK, means", sore, uncomfortable, wondering how long this bull chit is going to last...thinking of you...

10 degrees out, and breezy with snow flurries, cold but pretty..

Tomorrow is THE day ! Last radiation....

2ndtimeMaddy, sorry DD has not matured as quickly as she should/could. My kids at 27 & 30 are different people than they were at 20... Sadly in the last 2 years, 2 friends have committed suicide, & one  friend was murdered...I cannot believe it, still, but it has made a impression. So so sad..These 3 moms have to deal with the worst. Small town, everyone knows everyone...

Probably TMI, but your daughter will change, she will realize that her life is hers...and it's up to her to make it happen..

tangandchris

Got some sad news...some friends of ours in a support group at church....the husband passed away early this morning. I had seen them a couple of weeks ago at group, he was battling bladder cancer. He was in good spirits and giving me a pep talk about chemo. I'm really shaken up by this and so is dh.

Just venting or expressing...I thought ya'll might understand.

Chevyboy

Oh honey, I'm sorry!  It just hurts us to the core sometimes....  Especially like you.... going through stuff yourself!  Yes, we understand....   Just hold DH tight, and know that this will get better.....  (((hugs)))

Tang whew same bad stuff happening here. Dear friends Boyfriend in ER now may not make it . On my way up to be with her. Sorry about your friend and condolences to his wife.

Wren44

Tang, Hugs to you and DH. I agree it shakes me up when it's too close to home. Condolences.

Teka

*Hug* *Hug*

luvmygoats

Oh Tang - so sorry. (((((Big Hugs))))) and for your DH too.

Sassy - not sure who is in ER but ((((Big Hugs)))) for you as well.

Just catching up. It was an interesting morning with snow. Our schools (even though DD long grad.) delayed then just closed. Think it will be bad icy in the am. DH called in personal day off today and Yay he's off tomorrow. I called and cancelled the eye doctor. Printed off our school closing as ammo if they try to charge me. Like I said of all docs used to dealing with old people (? me) that don't drive in bad weather it should be a glaucoma doc.

And now we're under a power warning. We've been threatened with rolling blackouts and this is prime time power usage. Dang - I was going to wash a load of goatie sweats. I have one with pink eye so doctoring her eye gets our clothes nastier. Have to squirt antibiotic in 2x/day. Needless to say she's not a happy goatie.

Town NW of us has no natural gas. May not have any until Sat. Something about getting something in the lines and having to flush it out. Brrr. Expecting 100 at the shelter - that's a lot for a small town. Our church is a designated shelter - it has a commercial kitchen and separate mens/womens showers. My town seems OK but my prayer group was cancelled tonight - imagine that.

Posting and moving onward.

Tang I'm so sorry for the loss of u'r friend, and for u'r DH too--it's always sad to hear.

Luv u've got u'r hands full with this weather ice storms are the worst, and all the blackouts and infection. Geeze I hope u don't loose power, wow this weather is immobilizing this whole country just about.

luvmygoats

camillegal

Teka

Luvmygoats,

That is just how the birds are in the North Country.   Brrr

Spookiesmom

We had rolling brownouts here in 89 on Christmas Eve. Yes, it was that cold and snowing here. People were trying to cook for the holiday, no power. The citrus growers lost most of the crop that year. Was a mess. 

Hugs to all.
