At least you're willing to fix it and learn. I swear -- If I see one more misuse of then/than I think I'll go ballistic.
Or misuse of "there"... :/
There going to get there arses kicked over there... aaaarghhhh!!!!!
EDIT: And I just saw your other post regarding other misused words.
Back when we were in High School, one of my friends used to dread giving me D&D stuff to read, because he would invariably get it back full of red pen...
Hee hee. There's one guy at work who is at least consistent with his misuse of the words. I got an e-mail from him where he had all three versions, all wrong.
Oh what fun my late night appointment turned out to be. I remain sober on St Patty's drag my happy ass out drive all the way down there and guess what... the dumb fnckers closed and went home, or out to party, early! How very friggin nice of them to blow off the guy who would have liked to get his Irish on but instead came out to take care of them. Jackamasses.
Damn! That sucks. Sorry to hear that, Moorluck.
[evil thought]Maybe the city will shut them down for health code violations.[/evil thought]
Will be careful. I've got the sick time so money's not the problem. I am just really starting to hate the doc. He's the jerk that kept me in the hospital an extra 2 days, even after clearance by the endocrinologist and cardio teams. I look for lttle signs of progress to keep me from fretting about any possible long-term problems. I'm also going house crazy. Without my dog I have no one to kill time with. Can only handle small doses of computer/TV time, and books require too much concentration. :(
Have they given you a guesstimation about your recovery time. Of course, given what you've said about the doctor, I imagine he hasn't said much to you about it.
E7, sorry you don't have any T3. I hope your night isn't too bad.
Thanks. I only need them at night. The stress of my puppy passing hasn't helped the headaches, but both will get better in time. I can't wait to be normal again, if I ever was, or near normal.
Drunk driver lady just pulled into our driveway with a bunch of cops behind her. Told them she lives here. Her heart seemed to sink a mile when I opened the door and the cop asked if she lived here. (she doesn't).
Why would you pick a lit up house with a car in the driveway, the television on, and people obviously inside if you're gonna pull that crap?
Lo and behold, the competitors new pumps that I've been asking to get for 2 years so I can test with them are having problems. The geniuses I work for decide that I need to go the BUSIEST INTERSECTION IN HOUSTON to test an upgrade in the HOPE that upgrading the software will magically fix the problem. It worked fine yesterday, then they had a problem last night, but it looked like the pump went goofy. So, I'm thinking I dodged a bullet there. I stuck around for a while, and things were going pretty well, so I went to lunch. Luckily, I managed to finish lunch before hyper regional manager guy calls me to tell me the SITE IS DOWN!!! I go there, and things seem to be working fine, but then all of a sudden half the pumps have half their displays go into a standstill. So the site is no better off. I do have some tracing I can look at, but it seems like the problem is with their pumps. Of course, I can't experiment when 3 people are waiting in line to use each dispenser, so I'll go back to Greensboro where I can make guesses about the problems.
Mairkurion might be trying to keep to his Lent restriction today. I think he said Wednesday and Friday. Maybe he's out doing a pub crawl. :)
Sorry you guys won't be able to celebrate St. Patrick's due to illness and work. I'll have an extra one for each of you...OK, no I won't, because I don't need to be drinking at the moment. :S
E7, Patrick, and CH: Sorry to hear about your medical horror stories. Patrick, your story is particularly tragic.
Morning all. Thanks for your sympathy Taig, it is a tough road sometimes, but you deal with the hand life gives you and roll on. Ally is a great kid despite her handicaps, and has taught me a lot just by being who she is. I personally believe she is incarnated as a teaching life, where an old advanced soul sacrifices to help others evolve along their path to apotheosis. But that's the panentheistic pagan in me.
Have fun folks, see you @7pm EST!
*blink*
Oddly enough, I respect your belief. :)
That is an interesting view on Ally's "purpose". I think she's very lucky to have you as a father.
The Houston trip is mostly successful. I managed to get the site up and running pretty well, at least to the point where some upper level manager guy wants to convert 100 of his stores to the new software...TODAY!!! Of course, my supervisor's boss sends out an e-mail praising my supervisor for "building a great team." Barf! Especially, since I was the one who made the (stupid) decision to move to the team, and I'm going to ask to move back mostly thanks to the aforementioned supervisor.
My mom got hospitalized Sunday night, a little while after we left. She fell out of her bed. Fortunately, she only bruised her leg from the fall. She is moving into a nursing home tomorrow. My aunt has pretty much cleaned out my mom's apartment, and she keeps asking me about my mom's cat. He's a 13 year old Persian, which my aunt won't take. I can't say too much because my aunt has been there for my mom, but the woman is a little touched and she keeps telling my mom that she's going to have to get the cat euthanized, which my mom doesn't need to hear. I'll probably be going back to Tennessee this weekend to visit my mom and take the cat with me--hopefully to a family or a shelter. If I can't find a home for the cat, I certainly won't tell my mom. :S
Reposting. Evidently, when you start a post half an hour before you post it, it appears in the thread as if you posted half an hour ago. Gary?
I'm getting caught up, so I'll post a bunch here and move on. :)
Woodraven:
Good luck with the medication. When I first started taking medication, I got scary angry, to the point where I came I almost purposefully ran into some jerk on a motorcycle. Other medication, Wellbutrin and Effexor, put me to sleep. Effexor ended up giving me hives, which my previous doctor didn't believe, which is why I don't see her anymore.
E7, Patrick, and CH: Sorry to hear about your medical horror stories. Patrick, your story is particularly tragic.
E7, I'm sorry to hear about your dog.
Freehold, glad your wife found her wallet, and sorry about your bad day yesterday.
Lynora, I hope this is the last you'll see of the flu. :)

My family's visit with my mom went very well. She seems to be in good spirits, so that's good. We're now at the hotel, where my kids just finished swimming in the hotel pool. Time to grab some dinner and go back to visit my mom.
I liked Ernest, for a bit. I still like Ernest goes to camp. I do however wish more people knew him as more than just that ONE character.
Ernest was good in small doses. However, I really liked Jim Varney in the Pixar movies. Cars just made me sad when I realized they replaced him with Larry the Cable Guy.
Sorry, I didn't mean to say that I was leaving because of that. I know Mairkurion was kidding earlier. Like I said, I've been moody. I don't like being moody. :S
Tomorrow, I'll be busy all day with my daughter's school function, then we're immediately leaving for Tennessee. I don't know if I'll have an internet connection (or how often I'll be accessing the internet, for that matter) while I'm there, but I should have WiFi when I get to Houston on Sunday.
"So, Taig, you're gonna be gone from the office for a week, and you only have half a day to look at some site issues. Here's two that you can look at."
"OK. I should be able to handle those two. Just don't send any more my way."
"No problem."
<30 minutes later>
"Can you look at this other issue?"
<30 minutes later>
"Quick question..."
<30 minutes later>
"Are you going to look at [this whole other issue] before you leave?"
Eric..the .....other...Taig was speaking of was someone that posted in the FawtL threads. He jumped on the hubby and I and made an ass out of himself. But feelings were hurt, which may be why I was a bit jumpy last night.
You are right, meds are a LAST option. And I know that for Lyn and I ... they were our last option. And I know for a fact that it was just as hard for her and her husband as it was for us. We shared that in experience together and have been each others sounding boards.
Hey its ok, are you talking about the Mona? I haven't been following to too closely.
** spoiler omitted **
GAhh, I really stepped into it then. *sigh* next time I am just going to keep my mouth shut.
Sorry Eric, I didn't want to mention his name for fear that Moorluck would reach through my monitor and kill me in a blind rage. :S
*sigh* The day has gone from bad to worse. Wife's wallet just got stolen/lost. I'm leaving work early to pick her up, as she has no way home from manhattan.
Going to drive to Raleigh with my favorite coworker at the company. If you hear about a car accident where the whole passenger side of the car has been sheared off, that might be me. :S
I have a coworker, who is basically a single mom, and her son acted out pretty bad in school. She was anti-drug too, and it took her several months of testing and counseling to find out that the drugs were the only answer. If you care about your child, it's an agonizing decision.
Eric, I will say that IMO people who just reach for drugs first are in the wrong, and I know Lynora and Solnes have been exploring any other angle first, which is admirable.
Wow, that is AWESOME about Kellen. :D
I am so happy to hear that he is doing so much better.
Goodnight, Solnes. And thanks for the reminder to breathe :)
This kind of stuff, makes me look like a fool, he he. But I have not raised any kids so I only throw my opinion out there, i am leery of drugs, and would prefer to avoid them if at all possible.
*puts on hypocrite hat, as I drink some coffee, he he.
I forgot to mention, I have been drinking coffee since i was like 10 years old, he he
You know what, though, you admitted that you were just throwing your opinion out there and owned up to it. I can't speak for Lynora, but I imagine she appreciates it.
We've had...another...who decided to stick to his uninformed opinions and make an ass of himself. :S
His dad is very involved with him, and there's plenty of discipline and consistency to it. We've done extensive behavioral therapy and are pretty much at the end of out tether over this. There's an ADHD diagnosis, but that's clearly not all that's going on. He's being tested for a variety of possibilities, but right now it's a whole lot of nobody knows for sure.
Hmmmm, how old is he?
Before I get too more personal, I would just say, I think he will get better in the long run. You and Daddy sound like you are doing a good job, no need to put blame on yourselves.
He's 6. It's pretty heartbreaking when your kid has problems. I'm not blaming myself. I'm frustrated because I'm at the end of what I can do to help him and nothing works. He's unable to relate to his peers and can barely function in a structured environment. He's a smart kid and amazingly sweet. And I hate seeing him struggling like this. It's so hard waiting and being patient with all the testing process.
I hate to ask, but have they tested for Aspergers or some related form of autism?
