I remember the Littlest Angel. That was one of my favorites too. Brought it home from my moms house when we were cleaning the house out. Gs is a little hyperactive, so he doesnt do well with books, but hopefully we can get a handle on it. I still love to read.Dh complains about all my books, wants me to get rid of some,but I dont. you never know when you'll want to read them again. hes got his tools, Ive got my books...

Thanks

It was so nice sitting here reading everyone's posts this morning. When I get back from Jazzercise I will try to answer each one of you. For now:

Mary, I'm glad you are taking a short vacation  - very smart - you deserve it. So sweet that the dog house roofs match. All the men you have working for you sound like real sweethearts - I can't wait until your porch is finished. You HAVE to post a picture so we can all enjoy it with you!

Veggy - you are so good, always have me chuckling, but this morning was ROTFL.

Yay Spooks.

Sas - I did L&D for 3 years so took care of newborns, helped with resuscitation of the sluggish ones, then did 2 week old newborn checks during peds this summer. NOT a neonatal expert, but can probably handle the basics in an emergency.

Phyllodandria - the reason I went to Starbucks is because I wanted to have a celebratory drink, but didn't want to do it in front of DH, didn't want to sit in a bar, and wanted Starbuck's AIR CONDITIONING after sweating in that tiny pediatric office  all day. I have my favorite chair at Starbucks to sit in to study, so picking up those two little Citron vodkas at the drugstore and putting them in my Clementine soda was perfect. It will be a fond memory!

I sent Blondiee a PM but no answer yet. Sas, can you remember who her "buddie" is? I would like to call her.

Cammi - will spend some time this weekend figuring out an answer to your question about the under rib pain, but it might take a little bit of time and need to get showered and out the door to class now.

Love you guys - Happy Hooliday!

This is totally off the topic, but has this site slowed down considerably since the two outages? It's so slow for me that I give up sometimes. I still have fast internet on other sites, so I don't think it's on my end.

ChickaD

Hi Miss Wren...I noticed that too

savgigi

Spookie, I'm not that far behind you. And the Aromasin makes me feel like an old fart already

camillegal

Spookie this happens and I'm sorry, but it's a good thing LOL

I didn't notice about slow but I do everything slowly and think slowly so....

Gm I love love that she want to be alone and have quiet time, cracks me up. U must be rowdy people.

Shellshine

Yes - this site has been sooooooo slow lately  - I open up another page to search google and it's super quick.

Wren - is posting on the other threads sometimes real slow? 

Spookiesmom

It appears to be all over BCO.



Slower than molasses in January in Canada.

I thought it was my AOL browser!  Maybe it's just this site!    I really love the AOL format, and how I can save "Favorites" but Firefox is much faster.   As long as I can find you guys, I'm alright.....  Don't know what I would do if we couldn't "talk" like we do!    Wren did you say your end was slow?  So is mine....  I KNOW you did.... I saw it! 

Do any of your Husbands paint?  I won't ask DH to do that again.... I mean he gets paint EVERYwhere!  Not only on the thing he is painting, but everything around it, usually ALSO needs painting, because he just goes all over the place!   Not me!  I am a master-painter.... drives me nuts to have to paint something over, because he has "helped" and painted one thing, that has caused me to paint over everything else.  He pours the paint on, then uses those little sponge paint things to move it around!  Okay, I'll stfu....  Geez!  

Hi Spookieoldfart!  Glad you have finally joined the rest of us...Ha!  I mean so many of you are younger!

Mary, I keep finding more Angels around here!  I mean Fairies!  I love them too!  And that Dragonfly poem.... My Daughter sent me that once, on a little wooden plaque  ....  I'll have to hang that above my Fairy Garden.

Okay.... See y'all tomorrow! 

Shellshine

Illegalcammi I sent you a PM about your scan and rib question.

Esther your GD is adorable. You’re so lucky to have her. I wanted a bunch of kids but was only blessed with one – will be quite awhile before grandkids at our house! 

Jackie – I love books, too, and  so excited to be able to start reading for fun again. Have picked up about 15 in the last few weeks at garage sales, here’s one I got today “Best Women’s Erotica 2012,” it cost a whole dollar! Hey Chevy wanna borrow it – I bet it has something that will get you in the mood quick!!

Phylette I’m worried about our Blondiehoney, too. Sent her a PM but haven’t heard back, yet. Her last post was on another thread  2 days ago.

Chickie your baby is precious.

Sas, April, Flowers, Sweetpea, and Jo – hope you are feeling better. 

Greetings Goats, Wren, Juliaanna, Joan and Dwilly.

Will check in later to see if anyone has heard from Blondiee. DH and I are headed to the Apple store - I used the last of my savings to buy him a Macbook Pro  for his birthday, hate to see him hunting and pecking on the iPad, and maybe I can get it away from him for use when I am on the road job hunting. I got him a One-to One orientation appointment at the Apple store.

Be well Hoollies.

I'm another voracious reader, as was my brother.  Our parents trained us well.  Dad's older sister claimed Mom started reading to me as soon as she found out she was pregnant.

Julia what fun it would be to go through those books. We would likely pick up some tricks. At the same time might react in horror the way some things were treated LOL and giggles. The frontpiece quote is as good today as then. The quote on the cover blunt and true. I think a publisher would consider it too blunt to allow today. I had a patient that collected medical books. The things described about women were NOT nice.  But it was all fascinating putting things in prespective of history. A blessing on all women and men that changed things. Now if this period of history would move faster and get us all to a more humane time. Perhaps you can locate some things in the books that may shock and or amaze us.

Shells your cloud seems so soft and fluffy, can we jump on board and savor it with you:)

Bette, yes that's the most common fairy light on ebay right now . It comes in that color, cobalt(usually this color is the most expensive), yellow, clear. I've seen some others in pink , but they tend to be older. I like the clear. I'll be watching and let you know when I win one or do a buy it now. . There is a pagoda one that would fit in the fairy garden nicely, but I'll have to get a handle on prices. Fairy lamps don't tend to show up in thrift stores to often. Mostly, I'm very good at getting decent prices. That's a part of the fun of thrifting and ebaying. THE DEAL. Plus, I've learned allot of history because of found objects. Like the fairy lamps.   Loved the Rose:) Send your address soon b/c I'll have it direct shipped to you that avoids double shipping charges.

Cami you are so right about the holding of a book. I'm still intimidated by the Kindle. But haven't taken the time to read the directions. That would make it allot easier. Yes being able to read opens all, glad Joey loves it.

Cami, there are lots of tests available and they each have there own value. Basically when they order a test of the abdomen that will include liver, gallbladder, biliary tree, stomach, pancreas, kidneys, upper ureters, aorta, retroperitoneal space( space behind the peritoneum),  upper small intestetine, and upper colon. To get the lower structures. a docs order has to include pelvis. That will include the lower ureters, lower sm intestine/colon, uterus, ovaries, bladder.

Ultrasound, Catscan without and with contrast, MRI for the liver w&wo contrast. I just had this. You have to be able to hold your breath for the longest period at 25 seconds. Range is 10 secs to 25 seconds. Mri can't be done when the object being looked at moves. That's why it's not used on the chest compartments. Docs will choose the test that will give the greatest detail for what they are looking at. I learned from this last MRI experience that pics can be taken in 5mm slices. My little bugger may have been there a very long time , but is unknown because the pervious machine could only take slices as small as 7mm. So, it's a very relavant question to ask what the minimum picture slice is? AS I write this the question may apply to CT scans too, but I don't know.  I have to post this and go back and find your question . Hope some of this helps:) Hugs, Not having answers sucks.

ChickaD

Hi Hoolies....exhausted from this new fur baby...he is a doll.

Chickie and Phyllie how r u?

Maryscan glad everything came out ok...

I already take Zoloft and I just took a perc for the pain in my back, but can I take an ativan, I take the zoloft in the morning? 

Thanks GMA I got the scarf and already put it on my head...it fits perfectly and is my favorite colors.....you are the best....

Cammie, I know it is so confusing, they have no idea what the problem is.......I an frustrated they need to find out what it wrong, he said it wasn't the heat the reason I can't breathe....

Ok update, went for CT scan yesterday and no blood clot in the lungs, but plurual effusion in both lungs but they are saying not the reason I can't breathe....have oxygren in my room which is wear I spend all of my time. The Onc is  now sending me to the lung specialist, he will call him on monday and set up an appt....until then use the oxygen...even to sleep, it usually doesn't both me unless I am excerting myself.

HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Mary going through the whole thyroid thing. The Ultrasound guided biopsy was very good. if you get that far.

Chevy, DDBF got paint all over everything in the bathroom. Paint on the new shower door and acrylic. Woodwork. That room has been out of commission since 1/7/2013. The countertop is on the dining room table. The toilet is on the pool deck b/c he got so much paint on it. It's clean now, but still sitting outside. The base cupboards are in the space in front of the bathroom/2&3rd bedrooms. Choas--hate it.

blondiex46

I got that kind in 1996 when I got my biopsy!!

Phylobookie I'm so glad u learn to read, time well spent.

Who bought the book Erotica??? I bet Chevy collaborated on that one.  she acts so innocent.

Blondie like I said take it easy please, I'm sorry all this is happening to u.

OK when is everyone finding out the answers to their tests.--Too many tests lately. Don't like this

juliaanna

Greetings all.  Just got back from the county fair.  Went with the family.  My GD is 16 months old and loved the bunnies and the sheep.  She wasn't so sure about the pigs.  She got to pet one-the look on her face was priceless--"ooo, I'm not sure about this" look and then she help out her hand like she had something icky on it.  

Sas,  Yes, this book has some gems-Breast cancer can be caused by a blow to a woman's breast.  The book was originally written in 1916 so we have to grant them some grace.  But there is a lot of common sense things-isolate sick people, sunshine helps kill "illness-causing agents", keep surroundings clean, wash the hands, etc.  There are some recipes for tonics, too.  Cough syrup-whiskey, honey and hot water!! (I always add a little lemon juice and skip adding the water)

Wishing a restful weekend for everyone.  I know it is tough on those waiting for test results, appointments for consults, recovering from treatments or anticipating them.  I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

My grandmother had her own recipe for cough syrup... Honey, lemon, whiskey and butter. Keep it warm on the stove. Take with a big tablepsoon. I was just talking about this recipe with me sister tonight.

juliaanna

Veggy,

Great recipe and it sure tastes better than the commerical kind.  The commercial kind has something to soothe the throat (honey and butter), something to cut the phlegm (lemon) and something to calm the cough and/or help with sleeping (whiskey).  The natural one really doesn't have many negative side effects unless you indulge too much!

PS I'm glad to hear it isn't my computer that is slow.

camillegal

Juilia sunds like a great day--and love the story of u'r GD and the pigs--teach her young..

Veggie That sounds like good stuff and years ago we all got something with booze in it--not alot but something and it sure knocked us out without coughin all nite. haha--and I remember when I'd get cramps I got homemade blackberry brandy--that was so good--I couldn't wait to get my period and I was 10. We'd be in jail giving our kids what we got. BTW who would say it's u'r fault for getting cancer---sooo stupid.

Anonymous

Some stupid exfriend said that.

Grandma also would give me a (half) cup of tea and whiskey when I had my wisdom teth coming in. I'd drink it and she would pour me another and then get the cards out. Whiskey was always the prescription for any ailment.
