RN I just woke up a little bit ago. I'm sleeping so much. If I feel this bad tomorrow I'll call the doc. Sea, I don't have a pulmonary doc yet. After starting on 3 meds for the COPD I'm now down to just the Spiriva. Since quitting smoking I rarely cough now. And that's exactly why I quit.

RN I'm running on fumes. Like clockwork, Reese wakes us up each morning around 3:30 am or 4 am. Gotta love him!

RN I've decided I really don't like Waste Management. Today is trash day. They came by early this morning and emptied the recyclable bin. Cleaning the house, I grabbed the trash out of the kitchen and ran it out to the garbage can, it was sitting on the edge of my driveway. Few minutes later, trash guy comes buy and empties it, I heard him but didn't see him. Cleaned the bathroom, grabbed the trash and ran out cursing myself for not doing it sooner, I stopped on the porch. My trash cans gone. Recyclable bin is sitting right where it was, but the trash can is gone. WTH? I walk out to the curb, I know my neighbors must have wondered what the heck was wrong with me, look down the street one way...look the other.....and halfway down the laying in the middle of the street is my trash can. ARGHHHHHH. Sometimes their trucks don't release the cans and we find them a house or two down, but this was a bit further. I'm sure he probably didn't hear it fall or see it when it did, but he sure as heck drove right past it sitting there in the middle of the street on his way back down!

RN congrats Mame! Scoot, vaguely, lol. I remember when we were kids the trash man would take extra bags after holidays or parties (now they won't touch your can unless the lid closes completely.) I remember how sometimes Granny would do like I did this afternoon, find a bag of trash after he'd come and she'd walk outside and wave him down and he'd come back and take that bag for her.

Right now, I have an earache and a sore throat. Please tell me that is not a sign of tetanus.

RN: No, the first sign of tetanus is muscle tightness in the jaw, neck and difficulty swallowing, if not treated it will turn into complete lock jaw and can result in death. Now, you have a better excuse to see a doctor.

RN Twinkie, Cnd went to a meeting about a co-op group (government, I think) and a rep from CEMA (like FEMA only local) was there who was full of crap. How's that?

RN I think people are trying to irritate me today, lol! The kids came home from school with their Jumprope for Heart fund raiser stuff today. This is a cause near and dear to us since my step dad passed away from a heart attack in 2000. The kids have done this every year (mine and my nieces and nephews) in honor of grandpa. Since all the school aged kids do it it's kinda hard to collect money cuz we all know the same people, lol. We end up splitting everyone up like grandma gives my kids money while my aunt gives my sisters kids money. This year though I notice there's a webpage listed on the forms and I checked it out and you can create them their own webpage to get donations. I thought that was great, cuz like us, we have family and friends out of state that we normally wouldn't ask because it'd require mailing checks and such and being able to send Darren's dad or someone a link, they could go and donate for them. I keep reading though and the only way people can donate online is if they donate $25. That sucks! It's one thing to ask friends and family to shell out five or ten bucks but 25 seems like pushing it, especially when you have more than one kid that they might like to donate to!

RN Chili, sometimes I question even that, lol! Last week I went out to take the kids to school and half the recyclables from my bin had been dropped on the ground. Kids ended up getting to school just as the bell rang because we had to stop and pick it all up.

RN you are close chili. MOSCON = mosquito control. we met at their office which will be our satellite office in the event we have to evacuate for a disaster. COOP = continuity of operations. that is our plan to keep the government running. CEMA = Chatham Emergency Management Agency. just like FEMA only local. we are trying to get our act together before we have a Katrina situation.

RN ours have this claw type thing. They don't even have to get out of the truck, it picks up the can and lifts it up, flips it upside down and gives a few shakes then sets it back down (or that's how its supposed to work.)

RN Mosquito control? RN RN In Georgia? RN RN You ain't seen mosquitos till you come here. I mean really . . . do they sell traps in GA to catch mosquitos? Does the local radio station have a contest for who can bring in the biggest mosquito; dead or alive? RN So, you were making plans to keep local government running in case you were over run by mosquitos? Did that happen during Katrina? I don't remember hearing about Katrina mosquitos. No wonder everyone was so confused.
