Signs that you are an alcoholic would be...

You lose arguments with inanimate objects.
You have to hold onto the lawn to keep from falling off the earth.
Your job interferes with your drinking.
Your doctor finds traces of blood in your alcohol stream.
The back of your head keeps getting hit by the toilet seat.
You sincerely believe alcohol to be the elusive 5th food group.
Two hands and just one mouth... - now THAT'S a drinking problem!
You can focus better with one eye closed.
The parking lot seems to have moved while you were in the bar.
Your twin sons are named Barley and Hops.
At AA meetings you begin: "Hi, my name is... uh..."
Your idea of cutting back is less salt.
You wake up in the bedroom, your underwear is in the bathroom, you fell asleep clothed. - hmmm.

But even an alchoholic can make a sandwich Jonesey !!

It might have a strange filling but he probably won't notice :-D

Nite nite all,

P.S. - My husband can focus better with one eye closed but I think that is hereditary - his father used to do that !!

For heavens sake...

Lighting... me who topples off a doormat is expected to climb around doing lighting.... I will need to get Jonesey or R .. to stand on the ladder ... I loved your remark about being a barsteward by the way Jonesey... very funny....

I don't want the decorations getting tangled up in it... when I do lighting...
everything will be going snap crackle pop and it wont be Jonesey burning his cornflakes.

I will also do some savouries... I cannot abide a party that does not have savouries... if I turn up and there is nothing savoury... I just fetch my coat.

R .. just doesn't want to miss the Belly dancing at his placer or are you one of the "Christian Devils" ... isn't that an oxymoron?

I will tell you about my disabled cats sometime Jax...

Hi everyone, hope you have had a lovely day.

Back at work today in the land of the living :-) LOL you know you are sick when I couldn't even look at the computer to do some family tree stuff :-)

Lovely and sunny again today, but freezing..the car was all frosted up. Nothing to complain about given that some of you get snow where you live I would think!

Hi Grace

Sooooo glad you are feeling better... did you get to try Betadine for your throat?

It is so hard when you are a mum and the kids are small and you are not well. You have to soldier on. I know I had one day off where I could not even get my head off the pillow... my eldest was at school but the youngest was about 2 and himself before going to work came in with a bottle of juice and two cups and her... I just managed to open my eyes and look and he said that is for you both till you get up.... bless him, he had dressed her...I did get up much much later... he had to take her to work with him... she was so good. His boss was worried when he arrived with her but she amused herself quietly and had lunch with the staff.

Persie

Pers did you say you were going topless on a floormat and want me to hold a ladder ....... count me in

R

:-D :-D :-D

well, I am thoroughly confused :-S


I had 5 mammograms over a period of 90 minutes

........... into the room, have 3 taken, get dressed, go back to the waiting room, "we need to take another one", take 1 more, repeat

The technician started by saying "pretty certain it's benign, but we need to be certain"

.......... then the last thing she said was that I could go, but I should make an appointment to see my family doctor ASAP

..................... the radiologist was going to take a closer look at the xrays this evening, and they would be at my doctor's by Thursday, so I should make an appointment for Thursday. She thought a biopsy might be wanted / would be recommended.


As R just said above, Friday is a holiday, Canada Day, so doctor's will be closed. The next working day will be Monday .... and that's the day the new residents start.


We go away on the 9th


things seem to be moving a bit fast.


:-S :-S

Hi persie,

I ended up on two lots of antibiotics. I was trying everything, hit toddies, gargling a throat thing, and tablets to clear your sinuses but nothing budged it! It;s teh first time i have been stuck in bed for years.

LOL my toddler was quite funny. She kept making me have a drink of water and patting me and telling me that "Darling, you have to be careful. You get better soon". Talk about an old person in a little body. I am sure she's been here before

Get in line R.... there is a queue ... a far one.

Sylvs....Why? did they not do a small biopsy there and then,,,, don't mean one where you have an anaesthetic but the sewing machine needle type, where they draw up fluid and test it. They know the next day... I know you are not your run of the mill case like me.

I am not only :-S... I am also :-0 that they didn't explain further.

Persie

Get her, her own Keyboard Grace and we will put her on the threads she would have us all sorted. LOL

Always amazes me how different children can be and in the same family. My eldest was little miss naughty, on one occasion she was five and had got sent to her room. The door handle is about waist high so no problem to open. Her room was at the front and there was just a short path to the street. The street was a busy one - we had a backpackers behind us and they walked down the right-of-way beside our house. She is in her room screaming out help at the top of her lungs.
The younger one was so good, if you explained why it couldn't happen or couldn't be done, she did not argue... we always tried to say yes and if we said no we gave an explanation.

There is always this thing from the older one who is now nearly 42 where she will say ... there is my sister who could do no wrong... her sister is 36... it took a long time for me to decide yes I would have a second child. LOL

Persie

Sure everything will be ok sylv...it is a pain with the doctors April and May were like that for us.

Just had daughter threatening to come and see me next week :-D I dont know what she expects me to do with her ? Will wait and see, something may come up that is more interesting for her. Its her birthday monday so maybe thats the reason :-)

Hi

Persie

...... these are white calcifications, so no fluid to withdraw.



Ja...x

Yeh, I'm sure you're right. It just seems they are moving fast with things ........ like getting the results to the family doctor within 2 days, and wanting me to make an appointment for that day.

It normally takes 5-10 working days.

We used to send our daughter to her room



until she informed us that she liked being sent to her room because she could read her books and play with her toys in peace and quiet.


what good is that as a punishment?!


Then there was the story one of our close friends told at J's wedding ............ they had been staying with us for a couple of nights, and took J, aged about 4 or 5, with them when they left for a couple of days with them before we went to join them in their home.

Apparently, as they drove away from the house, J gave this huge sigh and said "Oh. It is so good of you to invite me to stay with you. I needed some peace from them"!!

I liked my room for the same reason... my parents were not readers... my mother never read a book after she left school...

I loved my books.. I got the hang of reading by age 4. When I was about 8 or 9 I was fed up with getting the strap when I was naughty... so took it from its drawer and hid it behind my books in the bookshelf. It stayed there until I had finished school and was going to work. Mum went on about it for months and months as to where it had gone.

I was leaving home when I was 4, I had packed this small suitcase with books and lugged it up the drive. I didn't get any further than next door's front entrance.. it was too heavy.

I was always in trouble... I didn't normally play with dolls but the man down the end of the street had a letter box that was like a little house... so I would take this little doll down there to play. He had a very apt name Mr Chase... and he would.

Persie

LOL at all the children's stories, I wasn't mcuh of a trouble maker and being the last of 5 my mum had pretty much worked out all the tricks etc so by the time I did anything, everyone had already done it before!

I was most annoyed I remember realising that my mum DID NOT really have eyes in the back of her head!

:-D

Sylvia, I hope everything is okay and that they are doing so much just to be thorough so they won't have to bother you for awhile. You must be a bit sore though.
