STFU (Shut the F*** UP)

Chickie, Tell BIL to google Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. He can apply for a $5000.00 grant. Not taxable. Application process is long, but doable. He can apply to the local chapter for a $150.00 grant. Sorry about the diagnosis , but the grant money goes a long way in helping to pay a whole assortment of bills, co-pays, insurance premiums, taxes etc.    BTW was the dx of diverticulitis based on cat scan?

Mary can you post pics of the porch soon? Sorry that truck is out of control.

Chevy, poor chin and Cami your youthful days were pretty exciting!

Chevy the toilet is as still on the deck, and the tile I've picked will be another 1-2months in shipment. Guess I will have to put the toilet in a less visible place.

Cami, the exercising backfired. Opened up a can of worms on the spine and sciatica. Added a new exercise that I'd forgotten had ripped me up once before. Oh well still can swim, but don't feel as good as before.

Lilli I'm so glad u stuck around the boards when u've been thru the worst, I love u'r quotes and u'r calming look at life and I can't imagine u cluttering, but I'd like to think u do.

Marycan't post a pic---I am so the same way--I can't even do an avatar, when I first started 3 yrs ago with a computer I actually did an avatar for FB, but I don't know how I did it. And of course it wasn't a pic of me---my sily DD1 posted one on FB with me in the pool First time anyone saw my face and it was awful--brat--I thought she was doing something with her phone and viola I was on FB---mad as hell my point is this--We can't all be like Chevy--who can post pictures of mostly stupid things. But at least she can do it.

Miss Sass...thanks for the BIL info...his original diagnosis of diverticulitis was from an MRI...his wife works for surgeons and when he still wasn't feeling well 4 months later ..wife showed her surgeon bosses the original MRI and they said ...ugh...get him to a hemotologist oncologist right away...repeat MRI now shows tumor in gut the size of a football and now also in his clavicle and another lower bone.

Thanks Miss Savgigi ♥

Mary - I remember about your minor deficit of not being able to post pictures, and lol when you thought the battery was the memory card - I had forgotten that.  😝

GG - I hear you, and I'll see you in November! Hurray - my first Hoolieparty in person!! BTW, I, for the life of me, could not figure out your Avatar. It looks like a nipple with a tassle on a hairy chest - then I cut and pasted it to iPhoto to look at it closer - it's a dandelion!! And no, I am not drinking or taking any street drugs.

Chickers..... I'm so sorry about your BIL...  Damn!  No excuse for incompetence like that.  I would really having a hard time keeping my mouth shut about the original diagnosis though.  

I know the PRESENT Docs won't say anything to the numb-nuts about the original diagnosis, but I would write a letter to the DOCTOR, and his superiors, and mention ever-so-loudly and professionaly about WHAT the wrong diagnosis has done.  Namely taken up so much time for being treated the RIGHT way. 

Sure mistakes happen, but they SHOULDN'T  because of their training!  Damn good thing that he doesn't NOW have to be treated by that looney-tunes Doctor! 

Sass, you could always plant Geraniums in your "pot on the porch!

MaryandCammipictureless!  Okay, now you guys.... 1.  Just go to your browser bar... like where you want to type something in.  2.  Now type in
"Google Images"......  3. When you see it come up, click on that.  4.  Okay now, type anything you want in that space. 5.  CAMMI, stop typing in "naked men" right now...... 6.  Type anything you want to see.... ANYTHING!  7.  Okay now you will see a gazillion pictures on that subject. 

Now, 8.  When you see one you want to post, click on it....  (It usually gets larger.)....  9.  RIGHT click on picture.  Hit "copy". 

Now, go back to our thread, to where you are typing your post, and 10, RIGHT click again, and hit "paste."    If your selected picture does not show up, repeat steps 1 through 10 for the rest of your life until you GET it!

BUT if you somehow managed to "save" your own pictures on your computer, or Iphone, or whatever you USE, THEN you will need to download a program like "Picassa"....  THEN once that is downloaded, you will need maybe the guy next door to show you what you did, and what to do with it.  Or ask any kid on the block.  Ask your Grandsons!   They will show you how to navigate through that program with your pictures.

If all else fails....Forget about ever posting pictures.... or you will go out of your mind.

I'm going to get my ears flushed today.  I give up.  Yes, the ear candles work great, but I think my ears do nothing but manufacture wax just for the hell of it.  Just to drive ME nuts.  And when they get a certain amount, my ears just shut off....  So this calls for a job by Superman!   Get out the damn garden hose, put it in one ear, and flush it all out through the other.  

Sure I could spend today doing probably 5 more ear candles in my Right ear, and always get MORE wax out, but I am admitting defeat.   When it is HARD to hear with my hearing aids, it is time for a different approach to said problem....  I give up, in other words.

SHELLS, you little Devil!  Okay, I looked again!  IT DOES look just like that!  Ha, ha!  LittleGardens, don't change it now!  Ha, ha!  That just cracked me up!   So everytime I see your little nipple thing that Shells relentlessly pointed out, I will laugh! 

Sure Shells...  Just say no to whatever you are taking!   xoxoxo

 Is this better Chevy?

Omg.If my sil had looked like that with all his tatoos, I would have kept him for myself

oh well, you know that adornment for your own body is EVER so much more important than food for your kids!!!

I hope they find a good lawyer.

Take care, GMA.  It sounded like you were truly miserable yesterday, give yourself permission to be a little grumpy if necessary... 

Stacey, Your boss is an analpore! Plus she screwed up big time. You have grounds for an ADA complaint and or suit. Document date/time/ names & addresses & phone numbers of those present. Document what was said. All this info is REQUIRED to make a written complaint.

Check either :

1.EEOC/ADA web site for your state for closest office-- call and ask for sequence of what to do. Time to lodge a complaint is very short. Ask if it is recommened to inform your employer that you are lodging a complaint. Also, ask your lawyer.

2. Go to cancerandcareers web site I'll get it and bring it back. I posted it awhile back, but it may have been before you were here. This web site is a wealth of info in all regards to employment and cancer.

http://www.cancerandcareers.org/en

What that boss thinks she's doing is setting you up for termination by showing you as not doing your job. What she has done is set her employer up for a big time legal problems. Once you make your complaint to EEOC/ADA, they will investigate.

1. She did this publicly in her delegated role as a management employee of the institution

2. There were witnesses

3. You met with human resources when this started. They defined the policy for you.

4. Your boss breached the policy.

I don't know what the institutions policy is, but they have a whole section on it. The instituitions responsibility is to ensure that the policies aren't breached. It's bad enough when employers or their delegates breach the rules in secret. But to do it publicly, sheesh, the person just is clueless and STUPID. The institution can't claim that she did this on her own b/c they are the Respondeat Superior.

Seek legal advice now. Follow through with the ADA/EEOC complaint.

Contact Human Resources for a sit down. I think the answer re:telling HR that you are lodging a complaint is probably not a good thing to do. BUT that's why I suggest lawyer counsel and ADA/EEOC advice.

Chevy you are brilliant. Easiest computer instruction I ever had This is my first pic. OMG my world has been opened to another dimension:) L&H's sassy

This is a headstudy of a German Wirehaired Pointer done by Rien Poortvliet in the 60's. It was as if my Schatzi was posing. Chevy:)---oops lost it

I'm "brilliant!"  Man, I haven't heard THAT one before, Ha!  But thank you dear Sass!  Okay, now I'm too brilliant to go iron.... maybe tomorrow!   And I love your pictures!  Boots, eh?  Wellies even!  I HAVE some, but I would rather WEAR them instead of planting them....

Okay Sass, you aren't going to believe this..... That picture you posted of the wire-haired pointer...... There was this little dog that lived next door to us when we were little.... His name was "Shotzy!"  He was black and white, and smaller than the picture.... and he was a wire-haired something or other!  But what a coincidence!!!    THAT is amazing.

I have to move the damn bamboo wind "chime."  DH even got stung.... I just acted like "what are you talking about?"  So in the morning, while still 1/2 dark, I will put a plastic bag under the "clappers" and close it at the top, unhook the hanger out of the tree, take it to this other area by our fence,  hang it THERE, where they can do all they want to do, whatever that is.  ANYwhere but where WE go! 

I just can't kill them.... they don't know how lucky they are....!

I have this idea, on how to use this white wire planter holder.  You are supposed to use one of those coconut fiber fillers in it, then add soil and plants, and hang it.   BUT, I took it apart, turned it upside down, and I'll attach the hanger, with hook, to the bottom, which will now be the top.  Then hang lots of the shells I have with  fishing line and colored beads & glass marbles.... all around it, and from the top!   I'l make it, and take pictures....  Hope it looks good when I am finished. 

Just like this, only hanging upside down.

Okay.... better get busy doing something..... xoxoxoxo
