A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Coffee House 2312 Another One for Me and You

Tam ~ hemanginomas usually disappear by age 5 and rarely get bigger than an eraser on the end of a pencil.

Now I gotta go read back!

Progress is forward movement, Tamara. I hope it all comes together for you quickly now.
I have been out trimming and making humongous piles of branches and leaf litter. I had to come in to cool off and it is only 72* out there.

Well, I read and got caught up with all you busy women!

Me, I'm laying low.

(Psst! Don't tell Cheryl) but today I....

Went to a small town 5 miles to the south of me to the bank. Then I grabbed some breakfast on the run. Then I went to another town 16 miles to the south of me to pay an important bill in person which HAD to be paid today. Then I hopped back in the car and drove 32 miles NORTH to return Max's new shirt which tore down the front the first time he put it on. Then we drove 16 miles south again, stopped at three stores, the post office, the pharmacy, paid the rent, another store AND the grocery!

I am exhausted!!!!

And the threatening rain came down in a deluge as soon as we got back in the car to come home! It stayed dry the entire time we did all that driving, YAY!

Unfortunately, it is going to be 2 weeks until Max can get the replacement shirt. The store has to order it, wait for it to arrive, and then embroider it. So that means he only has 2 shirts for the next two weeks!!

Oh and I just spoke w/ the mom of the boy who drives Max to & from school. He is a senior and lives in our town. We are about 18 miles from the school. Ethan is only charging Max $2 a ride. Isn't that great? I was really surprised at the low fare -- that works out to be $4 a day round trip & the bus which is a misery, costs $5 one way!

Hi all, great deal on the trips Merme. Oh and the spot on babies chest has grown from a dot to a size of a dime in just over a week already and another one has started on babies back. Looked so scary to me. Hoping the specialist calls soon.

Yes Tina, I might have all paper work in hand by the end of the day it seems, after exploding on a few people about the seriousness of the situation they have finally decided to e-mail all info so I can print it off myself. Tomorrow we can get the ball rolling for DD to get some financial help within a weeks time thankfully.

Pouring rain out again...nice weather if you're a duck

Gee Tamara--I so hope that all your efforts soon pay off. It is sad that one sometimes has to lose their temper to get things accomplished, but I say of it works go for it.

merme, I am impressed. apparently some peole can still be nice-

--back when I was paying for emily to have a ride to school -------fall 2000 to spring 2002---- I was paying $2.00 a day. so what you are being charged not bad at all. besides the kid that ios givng maxi a ride was having to foot the whole bill himself until now, right???---so this is a win-win for the both familys ???

Hi Carol,

Finally have all paper work in hand, now to wait for an appointment for tomorrow or Thursday to get them filed and processed. It was a long day.....

DH is gone to drop off our truck at the dealership for maintenance and to finish with installation of the remote start, hope they give him a small car for tomorrow...I have a lot of errands to run.

Tam I hope all the paperwork goes through speedily and DD & baby get the help they need without hitch.

Tamara: I agree with Merme.

OH NO! I found a new addiction! M & M's dark chocolate! And I do not even like chocolate!

OH I love Dark Chocolate...it is THE best!!!!

Have you tried the M&M's, Carol? If not, don't! They are dangerous!

I love dark chocolate peanut m&m's, but you know what I like even better? Coconut m&m's. Yummy!

Today is just not my day. I'm groggy, irritable, and now I'm bloated. It's my own stupid fault I'm all bloated. Oh well, nothing I can do now except wait for it to go away. Oh yeah, and I'm still itchy. I'm groggy from the antihistamine's I took last night. I still itch anyway so I'm not even going to bother taking it again. I need to be able to function, I can't hang out in zombie land all the time. Like I said, I'm grumpy today. Don't mind me.

I am sorry, Cheryl, you are having such a rough day! Hopefully it will all wear off by tomorrow!

So sorry Cheryl,, I hope tomorrow is a much better day

Me, too...I had to go to [bleeping] Wal-Mart today. They keep changing the [bleeping] store around so you have to walk 50 miles to find a [bleeping] package of [bleeping] sliced cheese. Asked a salesperson why the {bleeping] cheese was not where it was LAST week...he said they moved it over to the meat department. I said "Oh...that makes a whole hell of a lot more sense than having it in the DAIRY department!"

OK...I feel better now. Thanks for listening!

Cindy--it is called "Marketing"
The philosophy is if you have to look for something you will buy other things while you are looking for the one item you want versus just going directly to the 1 item you want getting it & then leaving.

the same hold true for large sizes of things,

I make it a point to tell anyone working in the store I can that I do not buy what it is I do not want--& I often go to a store that will have what I want and buy there instead---

They had the eggs right in front of the milk (very convenient) for a long time...now they are by the [bleeping] lunchmeat!

And the bread is wayyyyy the [bleep] over past the produce in a faraway corner. That pisses me off so bad. I'm gonna go to Facebook and find an "I Hate Wal-Mart" group and join it.

I just need to get a glass of whine and calm down.
I've been a space cadet the last few days...shouldn't even be out in public. Yesterday I stopped at a red light...sat there for about 30 seconds, then made a great big left turn onto the interstate. I got that "Right turn on red after stop" thing bass-akwards again.

It does sound like you need a keeper, Cindy. Please take care of yourself.

Well...at least I have very good auto, health and life insurance!

Wooooohoooo!!!!!!!

It's been a long day for me- got up and went and rented a rug doctor to clean the carpets--- somebody remind me why I wanted carpet everywhere... lot of work to keep up... but it is all clean now and rooms are all back together except for the family room- it will be tomorrow... had to do it today cause we didn't have boys...
I washed windows today too- some of them-- rest will happen tomorrow- really hate dirty windows especially in the winter so try to keep them clean as I can.
Well now I am tired and back hurts so going to take some motrin and hope I am not sore tomorrow... sure nice to have the energy back ,makes life a little easier..
