Rn hope mom is ok. Rn I'm bored and can't wait for dinner tonight, going out with the girls. I'll miss this group when most of them go back to their home offices.

RN: I am back from the ER, only three hours, that's good right? She has a UTI with blood and puss in the urinary tract. They are going to culture her sample to make sure there isn't extenuating damage, and they gave her a strong antibiotic and a pain reliever, she is taking a nap and my kidlets are too!

Right now ... glad to hear that your mom has got the care she needed. Blood in urine can be very scary. Resting is good, for them and you. Your a very good daughter.

RN, my first thoughts were of a UTI or kidney infection. the antibiotics should work great and the pain pills will help until the infection is under control. very painful! RN, this is so amazing!!! dd, dh and i had to take dd's car in for a check-up. we knew there would be a long wait, so we took two cars into redding. i drove around town until i found the school where i am going to apply to be a preschool teacher (quite a long drive, but a phenomenal school, ranked #1 in the county and in the top 5% in california. loni anderson's dd is the principal/superintendant. my sis used to work with the gal's mother-in-law at the hospital...) anyway, we found the school in the hills on the far side of redding. afterward, we were all hungry. driving through downtown redding (which has changed a ton since i lived here 34 years ago), i finally saw a small coffee shop and just pulled into the driveway. dh questioned, 'why here?' and dd said, 'at least there are people inside, so the food must be okay.' i almost left because dh always gets his way, then said, 'screw it' to myself and parked. we went inside and the two gals sitting in the booth next to us were cousins of mine! i hadn't seen one for 3 years and the other for 15 years! they don't even live in redding. one lives in mccloud and the other in weaverwille and they met in redding for the older one's birthday. i can't believe of all the gin joints in town...LOL we had a great time visiting and my husband had the waitress give us my cousins' bill. later they were looking for it. one cousin said she didn't think the waitress had brought it yet and the other said, 'i know it was here!' they were looking on the floor and under their plates and then dh said, 'i have it.' i can't believe we ran into them. we were the only 4 people in the place...and yes, the food was really good as holes-in-the-wall places often are...

RN, vacanick, last night dh and i went fishing and the guy we fished next to was a football coach in vacaville for 25 years. his name was randy, i think the last name is 'wise'. just wondering if you ever heard of him. he's probably late 60's and a big bear of a guy with a full mustache. he caught a lot of fish! he tried to help a little kid catch a fish; he kept promising him he would let the kid reel in a fish if he got a bite, but the little guy was too impatient to wait around for 3 minutes, so randy just hauled in his own fish! really nice guy, who owns a house up here for long weekends. i guess they are retiring here soon.

Right now ... Tabby that is so cool! I've only lived in Vacaville for the past 12 years. I actually grew up in Fairfield. My son is only in 3rd grade so we don't know any football coaches yet ... maybe someday. Sounds like you had a great time!!

RN, mamie, will she be in a dorm for the first year or so? housing is so hard to find in berkeley and so damn expensive. i was fortunate to have an apartment for a few years that was under rent control. in 1978 i was paying 200 dollars a month for a large one bedroom with working fireplace, hardwood floors, ironing board that came out of a cupboard in the kitchen, etc. i loved it!! that same apartment today is about 1,200 and 2 miles down university avenue from the campus. before that, i shared a victorian house on the corner of hearst and shattuck, right behind oscar's hamburgers. if you ever go to oscar's, you can see my house i loved living in berkeley, so your dd should have a lot of fun, nice weather, good people (except for a few goofballs, which i'm sure she'll leave alone!) and lots of hard studying. plus, she's close enough for you to get to her in an hour. my son is over 700 miles south of where i live now. either dd and i (or dd and dh) will be going down on the 7th or 8th of july to help him with his move. we told him for us old folks, that means some of the boxes (which he had best already have packed up!) and not the entertainment center or queeen-size bed. we've done enough moving to benefit back specialists all over the world for years to come! my back is just beginning to feel better and dh still just buckles at the knees sometimes from pain in his lower back. he wears a brace almost fulltime. RN, we are going to have to start going through boxes in the garage...otherwise, we won't have a place to keep our cars out of the snow! dh is going to put up cabinets in our computer area and another large cabinet in the kitchen for storage. we still have tons of things to go through to decide if they are give-aways, throw aways or sale items. i am thinking we can donate a lot of it; the tax break is about as good as garage sale-ing stuff and a lot less work. i hate when things don't sell and i have to pack them up all up again! last year, we took off about 1,200 dollars in donated items. they allow so much per shirt, per pair of shoes, etc. and it's often more than you can get for the same items in a garage sale. i'd rather get a donation slip for 2 bucks for a pair of shoes than sell them for 50 cents... well, we are having a neighbor girl over night. she is 7. my dd is 18. this kid has begged us to stay over for days. dh was at her house to see her dad and the girl told him that I said she could stay over tonight. aaargh...she has the attention span of a flea. thank God, i made dh do penance by watching 'sleeping beauty' with her and keeping her focused on it, although i did hear a few snores from his corner of the room LOL i know the girl is just lonely being an only and having no one her age around, but i was a little vexed at her 'game'. she's a smart one! she knew dh uses speaker phone with his cell and how could i say 'no' or tell him i had never promised she could spend the night with her and her parents all listening in to the conversation?! kids...gotta love 'em!

Right now, wow, good for you Escapee. I was a size 6 in high school. It would be nice to get there again. I'm gonna try! Hey, you said in an earlier post a few weeks ago that you are on My Space. Are you still? If so, PM me with your link and I'll send you a friend request. Right now I am enjoying a big mug of coffee and contemplating a visit to the pool.

Right now, I'm hoping to get to where Escapee is now. I just started weight watchers and Tuesday night I got my "I lost 5 lbs" bookmark.

Right now, thanks Hermione. I was surprised at how much easier it is now. I tried weight watchers 15 years ago and ended up gaining 15 lbs. on it, so I've very pleased with the way they've changed the program.
