What's Happening In Your Life?

[zeldabjr]

I'm still sick...since last Friday...finally got an antibiotic today...hopefully it will knock it out of me...

[Topkat]

Hope you feel better Zelda!! Get some rest

[Tiffanny Twisted]

get well soon zelda dear friend

[Grey Sadler]

:hug: Zelda
I did the antibiotic thing about 2-3 weeks ago...remarkably, this was the first time in a long time I was able to donate blood at the school's blood drive--I'm usually on antibiotics or running a fever :yuck:

However...I felt a little iffy before the donation, so I ate some potato chips...then after, I just felt sleepy/draggy all day--that's never happened!! I figure I should have eaten more protein at breakfast (thought I had...)

[Outlawman13]

I hope you feel better Zeldabjr. Get some good sleep.

[WalshFan88]

Zelda - Feel better soon!

[Glennsallnighter]

Hope you feel better soon Zelda!

[Brooke]

Zelda, hope your better soon!


I had to get talked into getting an Ipod years ago, now mine goes with me everywhere I go. I feel your pain, Brooke. If I die tomorrow and people look at what I have on my Ipod, I wonder what they will think...the other day I downloaded Kid Rock and the Cowsills.


Lol, Molly! Same here!

I went online at Apple about mine to try to find a customer service number to call and it told me when I put in my serial number that it had been manufactured over five years ago and too old for service. I bought it in July of 2010. Not even three years old! I guess I'm screwed! Never could find a phone number. :scowl:

[Outlawman13]

I'm sorry Brooke. What kind was it? A classic or something older?

[Topkat]

Zelda, hope your better soon!

Brooke,When I get home, I will look for a number for you. I know I spoke to them on the phone.

Feel better! The Paramount is a "germ-free" venue. Jus sayin . . . .

[Brooke]

It's an ipod Nano, 4th or 5th generation.

Thank you Tk, but you don't need to do that. I found online where it costs $19 to talk to them about a repair because it's out of warranty and then $79-$99 for a repair, if it's possible. Might as well buy a new one!

I haven't read the backlog of posts but have you done a hard reset? If you have and it's still not working - it's definitely cheaper and more feasible to get a new one. If it's just a battery problem that's one thing (I change those out for people locally) but if it's a main board, it's definitely better to get a new one.

[Brooke]

I haven't tried that Austin, but I will. Thanks for the suggestion.

It seems to be in the jack, where you plug in the cord....no sound through the speakers but some loud pops when you push it in or out. The music plays through the ipod itself though.

[EagleLady]

For some reason, my Dad's computer has blocked the forum and the other sites. Oh well, I Can at least get on my mom's Desktop and My Laptop. Going out to lunch for my Birthday tomorrow. We also recently got a brand new car! It's a Kia Soul.

Well what do you know, It's finally working again on this computer!!

[zeldabjr]

what's happening?...sitting here wishing I was in Vegas!:depressed:

[VAisForEagleLovers]

EL, I'm glad you got it figured out!! The VPN system my company used to have would block the sites, but it always told me it was doing it. It was hard for me to remember if I was on the company network or not, so it happened a lot. Now, I don't need to worry about it. Perhaps that was the issue, or something like it? Just guessing here...

As for me, I got some great financial news last evening. If things pan out the way they are supposed to, I'll have a windfall I hadn't expected. I'm tempted to spend it all on VIP tickets to see our guys, and I will do one or two of those at some point. However, I'm seeing a new water heater in my future, and getting someone else to install it so I don't set the house on fire while trying to sweat out and resolder the copper. Maybe a new washing machine and some rain gutters. Oh, the things a girl dreams about... Maybe I'll win tonight's lottery and I can just buy a new house. Somewhere warm.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

what's happening?...sitting here wishing I was in Vegas!:depressed:

I bet it's beautiful there today. With some great scenery later this evening.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

Nice to hear Va congradulations...

[Outlawman13]

I've been working and now resting up for my walk here soon. LOL. Listening to Randy Meisner

[zeldabjr]

I bet it's beautiful there today. With some great scenery later this evening.

yeah..great scenery!...

[Topkat]

Wow, VA, A windfall sure sounds great! You're lucky, so play the lottery!
Yes, Tonight is the Vegas show, which we will be sadly MISSING! :cry::cry::cry:

I'm dying my hair tonight, doesn't that sound really exciting???

[Outlawman13]

OHH I wish I could've gone to that Eagles concert tonight. OHHHH too beautiful of a scenery for sure. LOL to whoever is going tonight, bring a review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL TK, that will be cool if you did dye your hair pink. Post some pictures.

[zeldabjr]

Congrats VA on your windfall...I vote for spending it all on four handsome men!!!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Congrats VA on your windfall...I vote for spending it all on four handsome men!!!

I went and looked at water heaters after church tonight in my favorite store. Home Depot!

[Grey Sadler]

Yay VA!!!! :thumbsup:
I'm a windfall fan...now that my car (Rosie) is paid off, mine would have to go back into savings for music lessons...new computer...new bass...and, um, tickets if a certain band ever came close!! ;)

[Brooke]

Wow, VA! You're finding money everywhere! Congrats and enjoy! :headbang:

[WalshFan88]

Congrats VA!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Hopefully, it'll pan out, especially as I didn't win the Powerball drawing last night! Z, I'm very tempted to spend it on four handsome men, especially after not being at the concert last night. However, I'd like to think that God gave me a brain for a reason, so I'll only spend some of it on four handsome men, at some point in the future. I have to say, I'm so very tempted to say the heck with it and spend it on Lasik eye surgery. No idea how much that costs these days, I'm due for an eye appointment soon, maybe I'll ask.

[SallyGee]

VA - A girl at work is having LASIK surgery next week. $5,000.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Seriously? That's a lot more than I'd figured on!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

so did u pick a new water heater?

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Well, no. I was mostly looking at prices and how much lower they expect my electric bill to be, which won't really happen... If I ever actually get the $$, then I can take some measurements and make sure the one I pick will fit with the plumbing I already have.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

so, its a wish list item?? ccol and intresting

[Glennsallnighter]

Arrived in New York late last night!

I love it already! We are just on our way to the World Trade Center memorial.

I'll post when I can

[WalshFan88]

--------------------

Well the eye surgery "took". I have straight eyes. YAY. I was worried about them shifting back but they didn't. I am so glad.

On other news, I'm getting a cold. :(

Austin, so happy to hear about the eyes!! This is good news!!

The cold not so much... If it's still in the first day or so of feeling crappy, take something like Zicam? It seemed to lessen the horror for me.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Arrived in New York late last night!

WooHoo!! Have fun, GA!!

Austin...so happy about your eye surgery success...and take care with that cold!

[Grey Sadler]

Yay GA and Austin!! :thumbsup:

[Grey Sadler]

OH, I also got a surprise in the mail...Friday or Saturday I had ordered Eagles Complete--a piano/guitar songbook with everything from the 1972 debut through HFO...and since it came from just over the mountain in Asheville, it got here today! Yes, I have been picking out some bass chords already...need a little more practice on upper strings though :D

[Topkat]

Austin, Glad the eye surgery went well

GA: Welcome to NYC! Hope you have a great time here. I haven't even been to the WTC Memorial yet & I live here!

[NYC Fan]

GA- welcome to our fair city! I'm sure you have a guidebook, but if you need any advice about fun things to do, Broadway plays on the (relatively) cheap, etc., feel free to PM me. I've given out a lot of tour guide advice over the years :)

Glad you got to see the WTC Memorial. It's very moving, isn't it?

Erin

[sodascouts]

Austin, I'm thrilled your operation was successful!

GA - have fun - wish I were there with you!

GS - good luck learning your chords. ;)

[TimothyBFan]

So happy for you Austin!!

GA, hope you have a wonderful time in NYC. Love that city but it's been years since I've been there.

[WalshFan88]

Thanks everyone. :)

[VAisForEagleLovers]

So...has anyone here ever had a pneumonia vaccine? My doctor thinks I should get one, even though I've only ever had it once.

[prayfordaylight]

Didn't even know they had a pneumonia vaccine. It's worth it to never have pneumonia - that's for sure!

[Brooke]

Never had one. I just don't know. I've never gotten a flu vaccine either.

[Topkat]

So...has anyone here ever had a pneumonia vaccine? My doctor thinks I should get one, even though I've only ever had it once.

I know my dad had one & he told me to get one. I think I did have it, but I can't remember when. I think it lasts for 5 years. I don't think it's a bad idea if the doctor recommends it for you. Most people don't even know about it & it's very good for older people to get because many do die from pneumonia.

[pueblo47]

I got one last year along with the flu shot and shingles shot. One pneumonia vaccine will last MOST people a lifetime, some with a weak immune system due to organ transplant, kidney disease, HIV infections, or other conditions may require periodic shots.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Since I'm allergic to honeysuckle of all things, and my reaction to it is asthma, this is the main reason he thinks I should get it. The state of VA has planted it as ground cover everywhere, so there's no getting away from it.

[Outlawman13]

I am so sorry for you VA. I think it would be for the best to get the shot.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

Oh Va....did you just find out you were allergic to it?

I get the flu shot every year due to working in the health industry iwth direct patient contact and chronic ilness . I asked about that shot and was told too young for it. I also wanted the shingles shot and told too young for that too.
I dissagree with the not being old enough to get the shingles shot since anyone who had chicken pox has it still dormat in their system. We have seen a rise in college kids with shingles in their eyes. It comes down to the insurance company doesitn want to be on the hook for paying for it.
If your docotr said to get I am sure he had his reasons,something to think about.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

No, I learned the hard way about ten years ago that I'm allergic to it. I've been allergic to it to touch, touching it is like poison ivy for me. It's only been in the last few years that it's gotten bad when it's in bloom and bothered my breathing. Last spring, we had such hot weather, it started to bloom right about now. Then it got cool through the end of April and May and even into June, it didn't go away here in my neighborhood until the 100+ temps we had before the 4th of July.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

I am so sorry ..terrible thing to be allergic too.

[Grey Sadler]

Since I'm allergic to honeysuckle of all things, and my reaction to it is asthma, this is the main reason he thinks I should get it. The state of VA has planted it as ground cover everywhere, so there's no getting away from it.

Honeysuckle?! Dang! :hug:
I thought I had "weird/unusual/rare" allergies...starting not to be able to tolerate rose or coconut scents...

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Honeysuckle?! Dang! :hug:
I thought I had "weird/unusual/rare" allergies...starting not to be able to tolerate rose or coconut scents...

It is very weird. My doctor even told me it's weird. (Gotta love him.) As far as the scent, it doesn't trigger any sinus issues like hayfever or anything. Just the asthma, and it's more of a coughing thing than wheezing or anything like that. I just cough and if I can't solve the issue, it turns into bronchitis. I was very worried about the first Atlanta Eagles show last year because we had front row seats and I was coughing all the time. Then I left Virginia and the problem was solved. Until I came back four days later!

[Grey Sadler]

Ugh...mine is like that (more of a serious cough)...I've only once felt like I was about to have a full-blown attack (due to some poor gal's perfume at church)...sadly, I have to put up with the smell of freshly waxed school floors every August, that's a BIG trigger for me...plus the crew might buff our floors over spring break, ack!!

[Brooke]

VA, sorry about your allergy. I love the smell of honeysuckle and have a huge vine of it growing up a corner of our deck. If your doctor recommends the shot, I would think it would be a good idea for you.

Thankfully, I don't have much of a problem with any allergies. Something bothers me a little because I have to blow my nose a lot. Dust probably, but not a real bother.

Thanks NYC fan! I haven't been on since you posted this so I hope you didn't think I was ignoring you. I've only had wifi in the hotel and have been out exploring your wonderful city so much that I've only slept in the hotel! I had been liaising with HH before and during my visit so she put me good for quite a few things. I got up early this morning to watch the sun rise and left 3 sleeping beauties in the hotel rooms.

We have had the best time here. I will post when I get home (due to fly out this evening)

Soda! I'd have loved you to have been here too! Maybe some time (soon) if Glenn :heart: decides to play here again we can spend a few days!

FP I know I'm lucky. Before this trip I hadn't been here since 89.

TT I will post about the memorial when I get home!

Thanks to everybody else who has wished us well. It's a wonderful city in a wonderful country!

[Topkat]

I can't believe I work in an accounting firm & my taxes aren't done yet???
They are on one of the partners desk, but I'm afraid to ask about them because it is so crazy ass busy here!!! LOLn:worried::worried:
My taxes are never done this late!:fear:

[VAisForEagleLovers]

I did mine the night before the Eagles concerts were announced (good timing) and got my state refund the same week. Gotta love Turbo Tax! Mine aren't very complicated, standard homeowner deductions on Schedule A, and I learned years ago not to sell any stocks, bonds, and such unless I'm either dying or down to my last nickel. Dealing with Schedule D isn't worth it. If I'm dying, then it's someone else's problem at tax time. :grin:

[Topkat]

Mine are a bit complicated this year, but I hear I'm getting a refund, which I was not expecting, so that's good....Now that I know that, I want it finished! LOL

[Brooke]

Tk, that is kinda scary! :lol:

We had ours done back in early February and the refund is sitting quietly in a savings account.......for concert tickets....maybe? Or a new coon dog.....we'll see who wins that one! But hubby makes more money than me so it'll probably be him. Drat!

Today is my Mama's 81st birthday. We are taking her out to dinner this evening along with my sister and her hubby and my older brother and his wife. Should be a fun evening.

[NYC Fan]

GA

Glad you enjoyed your trip! It is such a wonderful city, so I'm always happy when people enjoy their time here. So much to do and see, and New Yorkers really are much nicer than we're often given credit for :)

[Glennsallnighter]

You all are indeed lovely people. I can see why the spirit of New Yorkers shone so much during the dark days during and after the 9/11 attacks, and how their resilience is allowing the WTC to rise again. I know too from some of the people I met and spoke with that the memory of that awful time is still as alive as ever.

[NYC Fan]

So true that the memory of that time will be with us forever. I've pretty much always worked in lower Manhattan, since I moved to NYC, so it's been gratifying to see the towers rise after so long. And I think the memorial is beautiful.

I hope you also got to see the Irish Hunger Memorial, which is right here too. I think that is so simple and beautiful as well. It took me a while to even realize what it was! It's lovely, and sometimes I'll just go over there and walk around in it. A little oasis of green amongst the buildings.

Glad you had such a nice time!

[Topkat]

Well, my taxes are done & E-filed so that is taken care of. I knew they would do them, I just had to gently remind my boss about it, but he is so busy I just didn't want to bother him. Just relieved that is over with.

GA I'm so glad you enjoyed your visit here in NYC. I am seeing a lot of tourists here this week, I guess for Spring Break & the kids were all off from school.
I work in Midtown, near Grand Central Station, & I haven't been down to the WTC area lately, but I can see the progress made from where I live & it's so nice to see it building up again. Hope the weather was ok for you; it's been a bit cool this past week for April.
Have a safe trip back home.

[Outlawman13]

GA, I'm so glad that you had fun in New York. Never been there, but I've heard wonderful things.

Brooke, I hope you have fun celebrating your mother's birthday!!!!!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

Brooke,
Have fun celebrating with your family tonight.

Tk--taxes done YEAH happy dance time.

Ga safe trip home. Glad you had a nice visit in NYC.

VA you always make me laugh..

Well, I figured out today that we are basically two people short at work in my dept everyday. Once I accepted that....It makes it easier to deal with...It is what it is.....:soda:
I just do my best.I am already working an extra day each week as it is, for the next two months or more.

[zeldabjr]

Always great to hear about Lucas, too!! :thumbsup:

Good news! My teacher is going to finish out the school year at the arts center where I take my lessons, so he'll be there until late May...then he'll have to find one of the other guitar teachers to take over. I told him to give me more exercises out of the book too...challenge me!!!! :partytime:

[Brooke]

tf, sounds like fun! I can't believe Colby is now a month old! Time flies!

tt, glad to hear Lucas is doing so well, too!

GS, good luck with your practicing!

[Outlawman13]

The best of luck to you GS. LOL I do hope he gives you something challenging.

[timfan]

Back in 1993 when I graduated from Grade 8, I had a party with family and friends. Well a baby girl and her parents attended, She was 18 months old at the time. I have a pic of the two of us at the party with her on my hip. A few years later our families lost touch and I only reconnected with her this past year thru FB.

Well today this young lady graduated from UNIVERSITY!!! Where have the years gone, It is a very strange feeling indeed.

[Grey Sadler]

The best of luck to you GS. LOL I do hope he gives you something challenging.

Thanks, everybody!!
Challenge? I'm up to the D string...you have to mute the top 2 strings with your thumb...very challenging!! :eyebrow::lol:

Thanks everyone!

Her surgery did good - the doctor was pleased with the result. She was able to come home yesterday.

[zeldabjr]

Great news Austin...you must be very relieved...

[WalshFan88]

I am. I'm still very stressed for two reasons. One, she HATES asking for help and is very much a DIY person. I'm so afraid she will overdo it and hurt herself in the process. Trying to keep her cooped up or keep her from doing too much is a fulltime job. And two, she has a small hematoma at the incision site that is causing pain but the nurse in the recovery room before we left said it was ok and that she wasn't too concerned. It looks slightly better now but very painful.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Austin, glad to hear your mother is doing well! As for keeping her from doing too much, one trick I've used on my mother is once she gets me thoroughly exasperated, I just ask her, "Mom, if it were me who just had the surgery and wanting to be doing this, what would you tell me to do?" It doesn't always work, but it's worth a try!

[Brooke]

Off to Chicago to see the incredible Fleetwood Mac tomorrow night! IF we find tickets somewhere! Yikes! :fear:

Austin, glad Mom is doing well!

[Outlawman13]

Austin, I'm glad that your mom is doing good now!!!!

Brooke, hopefully you find those tickets soon. Have fun at the concert!!!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

Austin prayers and best wishes for your momma..

[WalshFan88]

Austin, glad to hear your mother is doing well! As for keeping her from doing too much, one trick I've used on my mother is once she gets me thoroughly exasperated, I just ask her, "Mom, if it were me who just had the surgery and wanting to be doing this, what would you tell me to do?" It doesn't always work, but it's worth a try!

I'm trying that! Thanks for the tip... She is a very active person and this is her first "real" surgery (other than LASIK and a C section when I was born). It's killing her that she is in pain and can't get up and take care of us. She doesn't realize she just had MAJOR back surgery. :brickwall:

[Tiffanny Twisted]

No sweetie she cant ..us Momma bears are tough and hard to take care of ourselves even when the cubs wanna do the taking care of.

[Brooke]

You probably remember me telling last winter about my snl's baby that wasn't developing......she had the baby about a month ago, just a couple weeks early. The baby girl passed away just before birth and weighed just three pounds. Looked normal in every way. Mom and Dad are dealing with it very well. They had a long time to adjust, but it was horrible for them knowing and having to carry the baby to term. We are all very sad about it.

I am also a great auntie again. It should be happy news, but it was also very hard since my snl above was good friends/aunt with the new momma. Baby girl named Meg Allyn born Friday night. All doing well, thankfully.

Bad news: my daughter in law's mother has had a stroke and is in the hospital awaiting test results. She is about my age! My son and dnl were called at work yesterday to come as quickly as possible to KC to the hospital. Prayers needed for her recovery. She is having speech and motor skills problems so far, but is stable.

[sodascouts]

Prayers for your DIL's mother!

I'm sorry to hear about the poor stillborn baby, but congrats to the family of Meg. It is difficult to deal with such things simultaneously.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

prayers sent and love

[Outlawman13]

I'm so sorry to hear about this Brooke. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

[zeldabjr]

oh Brooke definitely will say prayers for your DIL's mom...

congrats on becoming a great auntie again!!

so glad to hear the stillborn baby's parents are doing well considering what they have been through...prayers for them too!

I just joined the VFW here and now they want me to be treasurer...they have no one who wants to do it...I said ok...am I an idiot?...maybe there's some reason no one wants the job...lol...

[Topkat]

Brooke, glad to hear about the new baby Meg, & hope you DIL's mom is doing better..

Zelda, what is VFW???

Austin, glad your mom's surgery went well.

[Grey Sadler]

:hug: Brooke & family & friends

[Glennsallnighter]

Sending prayers and hugs to all your family Brooke. Take care of yourself too!

[TimothyBFan]

Brooke, add my thoughts for your family, also.

[WalshFan88]

Brooke - sending thoughts to your family.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

:)lucas is 6 mo old today.
his dad brought him into work today to suprise me.....that little boy melts my heart.....:heart::heart:
he goes to dr on monday so we shall see how much he weights then....

[Brooke]

Sounds like Lucas is thriving, tt!

Thanks guys for all the thoughts and prayers. My dnl's mother is back home and doing fine already! It sounded like she had a mini stroke, but the doctors would never say for sure. But she had some of the symptoms. (?) They think just generally not taking care of her diabetes, high blood pressure, and cholesterol caused it all. Within 24 hours she was doing much better so I guess she will be ok! It was very scary for her and their family.

[Outlawman13]

I'm glad that your dnl's mother is doing better Brooke!!!!

TT that is too cool that you got to see Lucas today. It's so great that he is doing wonderful.

[Grey Sadler]

:partytime: Lucas!!

More :hug: for Brooke & family!!

[Glennsallnighter]

I'm so glad to hear positive health reports on both Lucas and your d-i-l's Mom Brooke. I hope they both continue to do well.

[zeldabjr]

oh Brooke so happy to hear your dnl's mother is doing well...

tt...so glad little Peanut is doing so well...can't believe he's 6 months old already...wow...

sorry...didn't think that some might not know what VFW is...Veterans of Foreign Wars...like the Legion auxiliary...but for those who served overseas...I got in because my Dad was in WW II...they are a social club for vets and also do a lot of work on behalf of veterans' causes...

don't know if you remember me saying a couple of months ago..I had started seeing a guy I've known since kindergarten but hadn't seen since our high school graduation...had reconnected with him on Facebook....hope I'm not jinxing myself...but....:heart::heart::heart:

[Tiffanny Twisted]

brooke.prayers for your family . glad things are going better.

Luke is just too cute.
She sent a picture today of him sleeping away and she said thats all he was doing todya.
I said that means he is having a growth spirt...
One picture I took yesterday he had his hand up so I sent the picture to his momma that said "talk to the hand MOMMYz'

God I love that baby:heart::heart::heart:

[lizzyplays]

happy to hear that your DIL is doing better, Brooke and your mom, Austin and Lucas, TT!

[WalshFan88]

Thanks everyone... Mom is doing well. I STILL am having trouble keeping her from not doing too much - I wish the surgeon had prescribed her some sedatives. :hilarious:

[zeldabjr]

Austin...so glad your mom is doing well...

[Outlawman13]

So glad your mom is doing well Austin.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

yeah austis momma

[Grey Sadler]

:hug: for continued recovery for Austin's Mom!!

[Grey Sadler]

Ack ack ack...
Yesterday: evacuation to football stadium (again!) for bomb threat...2 hours in the sunshine!
Today: Breaker blew in the cafeteria kitchen...during the first lunch period...couldn't cook for the other 3 lunches, so school was dismissed at 12:30...
Tomorrow: what's next? Live chickens in the library? Zombie run down the halls? Bring it on!! :lol:

[Outlawman13]

I'm sorry another thing went wrong at your school GS!! Lol zombies in the hall. I hope nothing goes wrong tomorrow.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

I don't know, GS, this is a public board. You probably shouldn't post your plans like that, but if you're asking for input, I'm not sure chickens in the library would cause a delay or cancellation. Zombies might, if they look significantly scary. Personally, I think that shouting "Niall Horan is out in the parking lot" would clear the school pretty quickly.

[Grey Sadler]

LOL...and they all wonder why I halfway understand teenagers!

For the record...if you've ever heard of the "vanilla pudding in the mayonnaise jar" trick...one of my boys actually did it last semester (and really grossed out my roommate teacher!!) :lol:

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Hmm. Vanilla pudding in a mayo jar. This sounds like a good trick to play on my family. I wonder if my nephews would even notice? You know, you go to someone's house and they serve you something like this and hesitate to say anything. My aunt once made a pumpkin pie and used salt instead of sugar and no one said a word to her. Of course, she didn't do it on purpose.

So...you gotta like a well-trained boss! Mine just called me and his opening statement after 'hello' was, "Do you have any Eagles concerts to go to in and around May 8?" Of course I said 'no'. Then he asked if I'd be willing to make a quick business trip then.

The downside of this trip is that all my business suits except one are pants, and I don't think that's going to cut it. So I need to go out and spend money on new suits and probably shoes, since all mine are either flats or very high-heeled. Can't wear flats with a skirt and I'm not standing for eight hours for days on end in high heels. Good grief.

[Brooke]

Haha, VA! I'm glad your boss checked with you first! Well done on his training! :hilarious:

Bummer that you have to buy new clothes and shoes tho! He better pay you extra!

[Outlawman13]

LOL VA!!!! You sure got your boss trained. I love that. I'm sorry you got to buy new clothes and shoes though. I hope your boss pays you a hefty amount!!!!!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

well you defenitly have your boss trained...
clothes...well nice to have to shop for a reason.....
you will have fun.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

intresting day.
Luke came to visit when he picked up mommy.
he was a happy camper too.

Played bingo at church and won three bottles of skinny girl booze .
had fun
going to sleep tired

[zeldabjr]

wow winning booze at a church bingo?...awesome!!!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

Its actually at the italian american club lol
it was baskets cash and booze cause we wanted to attract the men folk lol
i dint win a bingo prize...was close too many times only needing one more number .
The booze was chinese auction item..
had fun

[WalshFan88]

Everything is finally starting to calm down a bit here and I'm not so nervous... Really looking forward to getting a new pedal I ordered sometime this week, and getting the HotE doc tomorrow.

[Brooke]

Its actually at the italian american club lol
it was baskets cash and booze cause we wanted to attract the men folk lol
i dint win a bingo prize...was close too many times only needing one more number .
The booze was chinese auction item..
had fun

Glad you explained that tt! I was a bit shocked that they would auction booze at a church function! :lol:

[Outlawman13]

LOL yes it would be.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

Glad you explained that tt! I was a bit shocked that they would auction booze at a church function! :lol:
No it wasnt at the church .lol

The last game was a special game..you filled in your own numbers but the jackpot was 250.00..didnt win that one either off by one number yet again.
bvesides,lol I like triple blazing sevens anyway at the slot machine...hehehe:hilarious:

[Outlawman13]

You were one number off from that jackpot?!!! LOL Triple Blazing Sevens. I have heard of that before. Did you win those slots?

[Tiffanny Twisted]

Not really...just been dragged through a casino with my gf enough times looking for that"special " slot machine with 7's on it.lol

[EagleLady]

My Mom is just starting to get over The Shingles.

[Brooke]

EL, glad she's getting over them. My husband just found out he has them.

It's kinda funny (though not really) I got the vaccine for them a couple months ago and suggested to my husband that he should get it too. He didn't have time.........is that strange or what?!

[EaglesKiwi]

EL, glad she's getting over them. My husband just found out he has them.

It's kinda funny (though not really) I got the vaccine for them a couple months ago and suggested to my husband that he should get it too. He didn't have time.........is that strange or what?!
Not sure if strange is quite the right word... frustrating, maybe!

Hope he recovers soon, Brooke. Sick men are Not Fun.

EL, glad to hear your Mom is recovering too.

[Henley Honey]

EL, glad she's getting over them. My husband just found out he has them.

It's kinda funny (though not really) I got the vaccine for them a couple months ago and suggested to my husband that he should get it too. He didn't have time.........is that strange or what?!


I've been putting off getting the vaccine as well. Not anymore. I hope he has a mind case. They can be really nasty and painful and recur over and over again.

[Glennsallnighter]

I hope both cases are mild and that your Mom EL, and Brookes husband recover quickly. I very rarely hear of cases here and didn't realise that there was a vaccine. However I do know that is is allied to chicken pox in 2 ways.
If you have had chicken pox you probably will not get shingles.
BUT, and adult can catch shingles from a child with chicken pox.

Take care!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

Ok if you are eliglible for the medical insurance to get the vacine DO IT
The red tape is terrible.
They claim that it works best with people 60 an d older but as a medical professional I cant tell u how many college kids get it and when its near the eyes, it is extremelously seriour.
I am not old enough yet and the copay would be 300.00 for us with health insurance rediculas
hope he feel s better soon
tt

[Outlawman13]

I sure do hope that your mom (EL) recovers real fast and your husband (Brooke) recovers as well. A very scary thing indeed.

[Brooke]

I've been putting off getting the vaccine as well. Not anymore. I hope he has a mind case. They can be really nasty and painful and recur over and over again.

Get it ASAP! This is on my husband's thigh and his whole lower half is in pain. It looks awful! It's just so ironic that he got them and I got the vaccine. He said he would never laugh about such things again. He's still working though, if he can stand it, poor thing.

My insurance covered my shot thankfully!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

ooh brooke hope he feels better soon.
they stree can bring it out so try and stay calm

[Grey Sadler]

:hug: Brooke's hubby and EL's mom...
My mom & stepfather, plus an ex-bf had each had the shingles in the last 15 years or so...do. not. want!!

[TimothyBFan]

My father had Shingles and I remember he was miserable for a very long time.

Looking forward to this weekend. Heading down to IU Bloomington for our son's graduation. Can't believe it's been 4 years already.

It's good to have something to look forward to after these last couple of horrible months and the stuff we are still trying to deal with. It's not been a good year so far. Just need to keep going and trying to stay strong and positive. Not always easy but coping.

[Brooke]

Congrats to your son, TBF, and hang in there! Sending lots of positive wishes!

[prayfordaylight]

Congratulations to your son TBF. Take the time to celebrate the good things!

[Outlawman13]

Congrates Willie!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know you are proud of your son!!!! I hope all goes well for you soon girl!!!!!! Have some fun. You deserve it!!!!

[Grey Sadler]

Yay, Willie's son!! :thumbsup:

My roommate-teacher's class was working on toothpick bridges during my planning period, and the kids were insisting on some music...at some point I said I had some Eagles, so some of the faces lit up (some of them didn't LOL)...so I played them the entire Desperado album...a good day, IMO!! :D

[Outlawman13]

OHHH that is too cool GS!!!!! LOL the Desperado c.d. is too awesome!!!

[Glennsallnighter]

My father had Shingles and I remember he was miserable for a very long time.

Congratulations to Dillon Willie! I too cannot believe its been four years since he hheaded off to college too! I guess then Taylor Frey is due to graduate this summer too???

What are Dillon's plans? Will he do postgrad?

Hang in there too! We all have some bad years and good years. Hopefully things will improve :hug:

[Tiffanny Twisted]

wille
congrates and hang in. I needed to read what you posted.

I just came from a viewing and a memeorial for a 24 year old young man killed by a 5 times convicted drunk driver who made an illegal u turn in front of him to avoid a sobrierity check point on the highway. ( the driver was in a truck and of course had no licence and or insurance....The young man had the accident on fri nite and died from his injries on sunday.
I sat with his mother(my friend) and held her while she cried as she held the ashes of her son in a box on her lap. I could only hold her and rock her as she cried.
He was such a talented young man and every time he saw me had the biggest smile and said "Oh you are a friend of my moms. I am so proud of her...she is so talented".

So, hug your loved ones to nite and please say a prayer for Liams family. They need it..My heartjust aches ...there are no words.
tt

[Topkat]

Congratulations TBF on your son's graduation. You must be very proud. Have a great time.

TT; so sorry to hear that story...how terrible. Glad you were there to comfort this young man's mother. Nothing you can say,but to be there & support her will be a help. Very sad story There are too many drunks on the road & they just keep doing it over & over again. Now this guy has taken a life. I hope he goes to jail for a long time.

Brooke, glad you got your shot for shingles. My next door neighbor had it & it was terrible. Hope you hubby is better, I think it takes awhile. I never had the chicken pox, so I won't get it, but I guess I can still get chicken pox, but I doubt I will. Both my brothers had it, & I never got it as a kid.

We had a party at work because the company is having a 20 year anniversary so we had champagne & cake. They are taking us for a nice lunch on Tues. My boss was in a good mood & sent me home an hour early, so I was a happy camper!

[Grey Sadler]

:hug: & :pray: for Liam's family...so sad...

[WalshFan88]

TBF - Congrats to Dillon! I hope things get better soon. You are in my thoughts.

TT - So sorry to hear that. Prayers sent.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

thanks for the prayers for Liam andhis family.
He was such a talented guitar player .(among other things)
You know I believe that everything happens for a reason and I might not know or understand that reason but this just makes no sense to me
no words

[Outlawman13]

I'm so sorry TT. Prayers and thoughts coming your way!!!

[Brooke]

TT, thoughts and prayers for you, your friend and the family. How horrible!

My hubby is getting better every day! Thanks for all your thoughts! Shingles really is a terrible thing, so if anyone needs that vaccine-get it. It's worth it and painless. Check with your insurance and doctor. They may have to approve it first. Mine did and paid for it.

Tk, sounds like work can be fun sometimes! :cool:

[Tiffanny Twisted]

Thank you all for the prayers for Liams family.
so so sad

[TimothyBFan]

Back from a wonderful weekend. The only thing that would have made it better would have been the weather. It was rather cool for down there and rained off and on but not enough to dampen the spirit of things.

As for Dillon's plans, GA, he's signed up with Americorps. They place people in different jobs in areas where they are needed most in their fields. Usually teaching in rural or urban areas, etc.... Dillon has put in for the Seattle area or the Bay Area. Not sure how I feel about that since those places are so far away. It could be a year or so before he gets placed. In the meantime, he's staying in Bloomington and working a couple of jobs, actually interviewing for a third one tomorrow. I know this will not be the last of his schooling. If he could get paid to go to school, he would do it. He LOVES school and always has. He's talked about getting his PhD and/or law degree. We'll see what happens. Whatever makes him happy is how I feel about that.

Larry held up well for the weekend. The doctor had made him take Thurs and Fri off to be flat on his back to prepare his back for all the riding/walking he would be doing. By the end of Saturday tho, he was hurting and exhausted but it was worth it. Nothing was going to keep him from attending this graduation. He has another new doctor who is working with aligning his spine again and we seem to be seeing some progress with less pain also. Win/win. Keeping our fingers crossed.

Have an update on the baby that we lost in March. According to the autopsy report, they believe it was pnemonitis/bronchitis and a viral infection in her lungs. Joanna had been telling the doctor every time they were in that she seemed to have trouble breathing but they kept telling her to use a nasal mist. She was a preemie and she had worried that maybe her lungs were under developed or something. A week before Katrina passed away, she had her 4 months shots. Prior to them, Joanna once again expressed her concerns but the doctor said her lungs sounded clear and to keep using the nasal spray and proceeded to give her 4 vaccines and 1 oral vaccine. They now think that the oral vaccine might have caused havoc with the virus that she already had. To top it off, they say that perhaps a simple nasal swab would have told them about the virus and they could of treated her and held off on the shots. Joanna is devastated to say the least but is at least glad she does have a definitive answer on why. Her and I continue to work together in healing but not a day and even an hour go by without me thinking of it.

[Brooke]

How very sad, TBF. At least you have an idea what really happened and maybe that will help all of you deal with it. It seems like sometimes doctors don't really listen and think they know everything and we trust that they do. But what else can we do? They are the experts. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

[Outlawman13]

I'm glad Dillon knows exactly what he wants to do after school.

I"m sorry Willie for your loss. I'll keep you in my thoughts girl.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

TBF, I've been wondering how all of you have been dealing with the loss of the baby. While I'm glad there's some answers as to what caused it, it bothers me that the doctor so easily brushed Joanna's comments aside. I'm sure he has to deal with parents constantly expecting him to immediately fix the least little sniffle, but it seems to me that especially when a baby is a preemie, extra caution needs to be taken.

As for Dillon, I can't even imagine how proud you must be of him. Not only to graduate, but to be such a responsible young adult along with it. Of course, it just means you raised him very well. :)

[Glennsallnighter]

I'm delighted that both you and Larry had a great time at Dillon's graduation Willie! He has sure done you proud, and I hope he gets his chance to do that PHD. Has he expored the possibility of grants of spomsorship to hekp with the funding?

I'm glad you have answers re the passing of baby Katrina, but it seems like the doc could have done more. I remember once when Chris was about a month old he had a cold too and we were told that there was no appoinment available for him. Hubby as ked 'is is necessary for me 4 week old child to let me know when he is going to be sick so you can faciliatate and appointment for him?'. In nay case we brought him back to the hospital he was born in. But I do think parents concerns are for the most part genuiine and should be taken seriously.
I'm sure Joanna will never fully get over the death of her dear daughter, but at least she has a few answers.

Hang in Willie. I know things can be tough some times, but hopefully they will improve soon. :grouphug:

[sodascouts]

Get it ASAP! This is on my husband's thigh and his whole lower half is in pain. It looks awful! It's just so ironic that he got them and I got the vaccine. He said he would never laugh about such things again. He's still working though, if he can stand it, poor thing.

Poor guy - hope he feels better soon!

EL, same for your mom.

[sodascouts]

Willie:

I hope Dillon gets to go to graduate school, but I'm sure he'll excel in whatever he does. I know how proud you are of him!

I hope Larry continues to get better. He's been struggling with this for so long!

Thanks for the update about Katrina. It's good that you have some answers. I still pray for you and Joanna.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

i just heard on the news that they charged the man who hit liam was charged with murder.
It wont bring Liam back.

[Topkat]

TT, It won't bring him back, but this man needs to pay the consequences for what his has done & most importantly get him off the streets. When drunk drivers get a slap on the wrist, they just go out & do it again. This is what happens when they let them go...Hope he goes to jail, where he belongs. I have no sympathy for drunk drivers. Too many innocent lives are lost to these people.

[Outlawman13]

I agree with that TK.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

He was arrested for it 7 times already...maybe this time they will lock him up and thorw away the key.

well for me things didnt get any better. My uncle(my father figure growning up ) passed away very suddenly on sunday. His daughter , my cousin found him dead in his house.
For me I am trying to remember all the fun things as a child we all did together( his 4 daughters and I) I know he loved me . One of my favorite pictures are of him bouncing me on his knee in my party dress when I was a year old)
He is in heaven with his wife, who was my moms sister and his eldest daughter, who died at 42 from breast cancer, I hope he is happy and at peace, though we who are left behind are hearbroken

[Brooke]

TT, thoughts and prayers for you and your family.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

thank you brooke:angel:

[Tiffanny Twisted]

they just said on the news that the bail for the guy who killed liam was set at one million dollars cash (if you wanna read about Liam just google Liam crowley , chesterbook penna)........I am so worn out ..I tried to sleep but that didnt work, my heart is too heavy

[Outlawman13]

Wow!!!! I'm so sorry this had to happen TT. I bet your "uncle" loved you for sure. He is in a better place now. As for the drunk, he needs to be locked up forever!!!!

[Grey Sadler]

Big big :hug:, TT...

[VAisForEagleLovers]

TT, so very sorry to hear about your uncle. Man, right after what happened to Liam. Definitely keeping you in my prayers, sweetie.

[SallyGee]

TT I am so sorry for all you are going through. Try to spend some time with that little godson of yours. He will remind you of God's goodness.

[sodascouts]

RIP to your uncle, TT. Glad to hear he is in a better place, though. Your family is in my prayers.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

Thank you all for your kindness prayers and hugs.

I know he is in a better place. I really get that but its still hard to handle right now.
I am just numb.

[WalshFan88]

So sorry to hear that TT.

[glenneaglesfan]

Tt, so sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts are with you.

[Topkat]

TT, Very sad to hear about your uncle..You are going through a very hard time right now...Prayers for you & your family. We are here for you

[Tiffanny Twisted]

thank you
Austin,GEF and TK.

I know it is what it is but it just sucks right now:-(tt

[Topkat]

Well, listen to this one....I come home from work at about 10 to 7 & listen to the messages on my answering machine...There is a message from this guy Andy from the radio station Q104.3 telling me that I won 2 tickets to see Rod Stewart TONIGHT at 7:30 at IHeartRadio...This is where I had seen Joe a few months ago. Well, since I am back home in Queens, I can't get there in time. Why didn't they Email me this info or call me on my cell phone, because I could have gone to this theater right after work. I was SO PISSED OFF.
Last time I got tickets, I had a days notice, but they called me same day. I don't even know what time they left the message because the time on my machine is not correct.

How mad am I that I miss out on a free show at a great small venue???YEAH, I'm pissed. This guy Andy is gonna be hearing from me tomorrow. So instead I'm home watching American Idol & Glee....How depressing?

[Outlawman13]

Now that does suck for sure!!!! Rod Stewart is awesome!!! I wonder why he didn't call on your cell phone. I would be super depressed with watching Glee too!!!! I'm sorry TK.

[Brooke]

Tk, how frustrating! I'm sorry you couldn't go!

You need to be playing the lottery though, with your good luck at winning tickets! :lol:

[Topkat]

Well, I called this guy Andy this morning, telling him how upset I was that I missed out on the Rod Stewart show,& he felt really bad. I gave him my cell number & he said he will give me tickets to see something else when they have another show...That was nice of him, but I hope to see someone GOOD! He was very nice. I'll let you know if he follows up with some good tickets! LOL

[Outlawman13]

LOL hopefully he can follow up on those tickets.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

I'm not around much for the past and probably next week! Its incredibly busy at work as deadlines approach for projects (for kids who just don't get it!), then Laura makes her confirmation on Tuesday. Our nephew made his yesterday, and that lads younger brother will make his First Holy Communion next Saturday.

Meantime my Dad had a fall on Tuesday and I went with him for his follow up appoitment today. Because he was complaining of pain at the base of the hand and the thumb joint they had it x-rayed again, and then decided to put it in a cast for the next few weeks. So I'll be keeping an eye out for him too! He broke his little finger on the right hand so that is already splinted as well. And cut his middle finger, but that seems to be healing well thank God! He doesn't really remember much, if anything about the fall, so he keeps wondering what happened his hand.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

Hang in there GA.
prayers for your family to heal quickly and painlessly.
Glad you had a happy bday and
all the busy things are happy things.....which is good
hugs and prayers to you and yours:D

I finally finished my room and that took me about 2 months. First I had to remove all the paper-hanging (took me long enough), please remind me never to put that stuff on a wall again! It was horrible to get rid of it. After that I started painting one wall grey and all the others white, I ended up with re-painting every wall 3 times before I was satisfied :p
When everything was dry I moved in a new bed and I mounted a wooden board at the wall in front my desk so I could hang up my vinyl singles.
The biggest challenge I had was to figure out what I wanted to hang on my wall behind my bed. At first nothing, after that I wanted a big poster from New York in a frame and so on. I couldn’t make up my mind. When I went to the local record shop I saw some Eagles album with good looking album covers (the one’s I had didn’t look all that good). I bought them and asked my dad if he had some frames I could use. He looked and found three identical frames on the attic. With a little help from my dad we made our own framed Eagles albums! The recently bought albums look really good in them! And know my room is finally finished! Tell me what you think of it ;)

wow ...it looks so nice..I love it..especially the way you did the album frames with the album:yay: showing decorating eagles 101 :lol:

[Topkat]

GA, hope your dad is doing better. It could have been worse, so hopefully he will be okay soon

Wasl89, Love the Eagle albums in the frames! They look fantastic!

[Houston Baby]

Wasl89 - TT is right! Decorating Eagles 101! I LOVE the paint colors & the frames! The framed albums look fantastic on the grey wall. You & your dad did an awesome job! I think the room was well worth the 2 months. Hey, I have a spare room that could use your Eagles decorating 101 expertise ;-) Thank you for sharing!!

[zeldabjr]

I love it Ward!...the albums look sooo cool the way you framed them!!!...I have a framed album of Timothy's Expando album...but I love the way you did it with the vinyl showing...love it!!...I want to paint my bedroom...will you come and do it ?...lol...I may have to start looking for Eagles albums to frame...your bedroom is so neat...is it always like that or did you clean just so you could take the pictures???...lol
