RN very bummed about the doc apt. If it's possible to flunk a bone-density test, I guess I did. My doc says the results are like this: If ZERO is the Worst and TEN is the Best - my score for my spine is THREE. Apparently I have Osteopenia (spelling?) My friend K who is 73 just got diagnosed with this. I am ONLY 52. What the physiotherapist told me 20 years ago is TRUE - on the outside I look 10 years younger, but on the inside, according to my bones, I'm 20 older!From now on I have to take some fancy pills, and they may not improve the situation, just keep it from getting worse. Ironically he said that in THIS case weight is usually a good thing, cuz it protects the spine, so he's REALLY surprised how bad things are. Sigh. Crap. I insisted he send me for an MRI about my knees. And some exrays regarding my other ouchies. Oh yeah... I got weighed and I did lose a few pounds since my trip. About 4 or 5 lbs.

Aww Mamie. Right now I am taking a break from removing tiles in our basement with an electric tile remover. My arms are numb, my palms are bleeding and I haven't perspired this much even during a run. I thought this dang tool would make the job easy!!! LOL

RN, does anyone fell like writing my paper for me?? It's on cognitive failures.....anyone?? The power flickered in my house and shut off my computer as I was writing it. Luckily I had just saved it a couple of sentences before, and the computer actually recovered it for me. Needless to say I'm worried it's going to do it again...

Right now, wait a minute, Neko!! Is this a sign from the great giftie that you should work the power failure into your paper on cognitive failures? I for sure would. You sweating your way over writing a paper with the power out is certainly a cognitive failure of a cosmic, or at least municipal, sort. Could we make this a humour piece? Ah, how fondly I remember the day when my college roommate, who went on to become a quite talented writer, had to write a paper with the beginning sentence, "The plane limped in at dawn." And you just KNOW the teacher had to read all sorts of dreck on war stories. I suggested she write a story on a guy who went to a costume party dressed as an airplane, had too much to drink, something we had personal experience with, etc. (teacher loved it; who wouldn't after 397 war stories? got published in the campus literary rag) And thus changed her life ... Go for it, kiddo ...

RN I'm soooo full of boiled peanuts. I cooked them all day yesterday and last night ate so many I was almost sick. But not too sick I guess since I woke up this morning and ate more. LOL

RN Irish, my raw peanuts started out very dry because they were not shipped green (right out of the ground) so it took about 8 hours to get them just right. But oh, was it worth the wait! YUM!

RN LOL JUJU!! I wish I had read that before and I may have tried it! However, I don't think this is the kind of prof who would appreciate a well written funny review on the theory of action slips :P I'm almost done it now, just doing some *coughbs-ingcough* filling out of the paper. :D

RN I'm lower than a snake's belly. Our third and final try for a mortgage was turned down. Now there is nothing we can do but wait and save more money and try again in a few months. I'm sure by then the house we wanted will be sold, though.

((((Twinkiepoo)))) RN, I'm so sorry to hear that. On the NBC evening news tonite, they were saying how this is the worst time in AGES to try to buy or sell homes due to record numbers of turn-downs for mortgages. I know it may not help to know it, but you aren't alone. You're stuck in the middle of a national trend.

RN, Twinks, I'm sure in a few months there will be a new house on the market that is exactly what you guys are looking for. The world works in weird ways; sometimes what you think you want is actually the last thing you need. Hang in there, everything has a way of working out in the end. It's just a matter of time.

RN Thanks, Baby and Karen. In Oct. hubby will be off the 6 month probationary period at his new job and that should make getting a loan easier. Hey, with any luck the same house may still be on the market and at a lower price. I'm trying to be optomistic.
