Spygirl | Monday, December 16, 2002 - 09:47 am     1. I just came from yet another sad (and expensive) vet visit with Jessie. 2. She has congestive heart failure. 3. Her abdomen is swollen from fluid buildup. 4. We have 2 medications now -- one is a diuretic to help with the fluid. 5. We go back the 27th to see if the fluid has gone down enough to keep her from being in any pain. 6. If not, it will be a very sad and difficult New Year here. |
Kady | Monday, December 16, 2002 - 09:54 am     Uh oh!!! Our #'s are all messed up. I'll do a few more. 7. I feel sorry for Spy.{{{Spy}}} I'll be praying for Jessie. 8. All my son's presents I ordered aren't here yet. I'm getting worried. 9. I haven't been into chat in a long time. 10. I discovered that if I go in there, ya'll keep me up way too late!! |

Jbean | Monday, December 16, 2002 - 03:20 pm     1. i usually don't sleep well on sunday nights either. lately i must not care too much about the job, because i have been sleeping much better. 2. i am sorry to hear about all of spy's troubles, first the rats and now the sick puppy (((((spy))))) 3. i need to win the lottery. 4. i have one more christmas present to buy, and 2 ornaments for 2 different ornament parties. 5. i am going to work out tonight since it is stupid reruns on tv again tonight. 6. i talked my mom into taking me to nakato to eat on my b-day....i am so excited. it is my favorite! 7. i am partying thursday night (ladies night) with my friend for my birthday. 8. i am taking friday off as a vacation day so that i can have as much fun as i want on thursday...lol. 9. next week is only a 2-day workweek for me (WOO HOO!) 10. i love the new christina aguilera song "beautiful". i used to not like her, but she sounds a lot different than she used to. 11. i hope no one has beat me to 12 because i'm having a hell of a time thinking of facts. 12. i made "puppy chow" to take into work today for "food week" i love the stuff and will probably eat the whole remaining half of it myself (good thing i'm going to work out tonite)  |
Azriel | Monday, December 16, 2002 - 03:35 pm     1. I got a phone call today and Kady bitched me out because I didn't 'follow the rules of the thread'. 2. I think the name of this thread should be changed to 'A Fact or Twenty About You. 3. I still haven't sold my car and I don't even have my car ready to be sold. 4. I hate Christmas shopping this year. BAH HUMBUG! 5. I ordered one present on the internet two weeks ago and it hasn't come in yet. I'm taking bets that it doesn't get here before I go to Singapore. 6. Sometimes I wonder if I asked everyone on the board to send a penny to my paypal account, how many would actually be crazy enough to do it. (azriel@colla.com) 7. My boyfriend told me that I can't say 'I don't like to eat that' in Singapore because I might insult someone...our story is - I'm allergic to it. 8. My mother, father, brothers and sister's names all start with J. 9. I hate people who had their Christmas shopping done in November. 10. I started Christmas cooking last night and I made toffee, now I'm eating it, I'm taking bets it's doesn't make it to the family get together this weekend. 11. I'm already sick of Christmas carols because my mom has played them every day since Thanksgiving. 12. I'm wondering how the heck you people have played this silly game for so long. |
Sia | Monday, December 16, 2002 - 04:20 pm     1. I didn't know who Viggo Mortensen was until someone posted a pic and a link & was too unambitious to look him up myself, so I appreciate the visuals! 2. Color me enchanted. Yeah, I'd have him. Sadly, Viggo wouldn't have me, of that I'm certain. 3. My kids have been JUMPING on my son's bed, so I sent them to bed early (7 p.m.). 4. I'm not taking the misbehavior lately. 5. My inner-ear disturbance is clearing up. 6. The room spun wildly as recently as last night when I went to bed, but it didn't happen this morning. 7. I think my holiday shopping is done; almost everything is wrapped that needs wrapping. 8. I will put together a child's table and chairs for my daughter one night this week when everyone's asleep. 9. We started our holiday baking this afternoon. 10. I did something I've NEVER done before: we made chocolate chip cookies from a BOX MIX!!! I can hear everyone's gasps from here, LOL! 11. The cookies are edible, but would be improved with the addition of cinnamon. 12. I may make more of these from a mix, since we're baking them to give away!! I'm afraid that makes me sound like a terrible person. 13. I think I learned something important about myself today while watching Dr. Phil. |
Twiggyish | Monday, December 16, 2002 - 05:16 pm     ((Spy)) I'm sorry. |
Kristylovesbb | Monday, December 16, 2002 - 05:19 pm     I am so sorry Spy. |
Schoolmarm | Monday, December 16, 2002 - 06:12 pm     1. Spy needs to plug the rat hole with aluminum foil or steel wool or an SOS pad...they try to chew through it and die trying and they won't come in your house. 2. I wish I could help Spy's doggie get better. 3. I have no pets. 4. I had a REALLY ICKY day today. 5. What do I expect...I burned out last week! 6. I woke up this morning thinking that I had to play for church...it was quite disturbing to wake up and not know what day it was. 7. I am broiling pork ribs for supper tonight becuase I didn't have enough time to bake them. 8. Today I was wondering how long it would take for someone to notice if I went into hiding or died or something. Hmmmm.... 9. I wear very little jewelery. 10. Most of the art in my house is my photography or my mother's artwork. 11. I used to play the tenor saxophone. 12. When I was in High School I went to the original Indiana Jones movie on a date and was scared to death by it. 13. I grew up in a town with no movie theater...it was condemned (rats, too!) when I was about eight. 14. Going to movies was a big deal when I was a kid. You had to drive 15 miles to go to a crappy theater and 40 miles to get to a good one. |
Kstme | Monday, December 16, 2002 - 08:08 pm     Marm...I'd notice!! |
Schoolmarm | Monday, December 16, 2002 - 08:19 pm     Thanks, Kstme....hey, I got the butt shots of us developed, and will scan them in sometime. Word of advice: plaid pants make your (read that as : my) butt look big! |
Mygetaway | Monday, December 16, 2002 - 08:34 pm     1. I'm having a drink tonight for the first time in forever and I plan to get drunk!! 2. I also had a terrible day. 3. We had to take my son over 140 miles RT for a Neurology appointment. 4. Unfortunately, I passed on my Neurofibromatosis to him. His neuro exam was mixed. We knew about the tumor in his leg, and one on his face, but she doesn't like how his reflexes are reacting. 5. She scheduled 2 MRI's for him. 6. Then she wants to see us back after that. 7. That's 2 more 140 mile trips. 8. The trip going over actually went pretty smoothly. 9. Waiting to be seen at the UW was a different story. 10. However, the extended stay waiting for the DR's, etc. might have saved our lives. 11. We missed the 23 car pileup/toxic waste spill(?) that was only about a ½hr ahead of us, time wise. 12. It took us 3½ hrs instead of 1½ hrs to get home because they closed the freeway. 13. Then DH almost ended up in another incident that would have amounted to road rage gone wrong on anothers part, but he didn't do anything to prevent it. Afterwards he almost dumped me on the side of the road in my wheelchair when I told him I wanted out of the car. 14. Needless to say I was glad to be home. 15. Rum and diet sprite never tasted so good! Meanwhile..... {{{Spy}}} And HI and Hugs to everybody else who needs them. |
Squaredsc | Monday, December 16, 2002 - 08:47 pm     (((Mygetaway)))) |
Urgrace | Monday, December 16, 2002 - 08:54 pm     Marm! Don't even think about it! Hey I want to see your butt shots. Mygetaway, I'm so glad you are here safe. So sorry about the ds having so much on him. Special thoughts for both of you. |
Moondance | Monday, December 16, 2002 - 08:59 pm     {{{MGA}}} |
Mygetaway | Monday, December 16, 2002 - 09:12 pm     {{{Thanks everybody..}}} Sorry for the Vent/Rant, but I really needed it today. So many times I type things, and then erase them, never to be seen, but tonight I hit that post message button before I could talk myself out of it.. LOL Urgrace.. I'm so glad your son is getting a new chair. If anyone knows what that means, it's me. Sometimes my family gets so mad at me because I am sooooooooo protective of mine, but they don't realize that my chair is MY life. My means of getting from a to b. They know somewhat, but they don't think about what would happen if it wasn't there because it had to be worked on, etc. |
Heyltslori | Monday, December 16, 2002 - 09:58 pm     {{{{spy, schoolmarm, mygetaway}}} I hope your Tuesday is better than your Monday. |
Mygetaway | Monday, December 16, 2002 - 11:06 pm     http://www.komotv4.com/stories/21994.htm Here's a link to the story.. Luckily only 1 was seriously hurt (it seems). Sometimes, when you think you're not so lucky, I guess there really is someone looking out for you.
 And the looky loo's from the other direction:

Schoolmarm | Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 04:44 am     1. I am very glad that MGA missed that wreck. 2. I would have been dead in 1995, if my foot had been on the brake when a drunk driver smashed into the back of my car, shoved it 75 feet into the intersection and spun it around. The car was totaled, fortunately I was not! 3. I've decided that 24 hours is the length of time that it would take before anyone would notice that I were missing. 4. I'm really thinking about a relaxing beach right now. 5. I get to go to a Christmas luncheon today and my first Christmas party of the season tomorrow. 6. I have a month "off", meaning no college classes to teach...I have plenty of planning, research and committee work to do. 7. I am really excited about taking seven students with me to Bloomington in January....one of them is an obnoxiously loud talker though...he may end up dumped on the road somewhere in Ohio. He wants to drive the van. 8. I have seen Senators John Glenn and Ted Kennedy when I visited the Senate years ago. John Glenn is being interviewed on the Early Show right now. 9. I live one block from the firehouse and the sirens are loud. I can tell whether the call is for fire or rescue squad by which pickup trucks go speeding by my house to answer the call. 10. Today HAS to be a better day. 11. I would give up most of my career if I found the right man to marry. Most people think I'm nuts! 12. I have currently given up on finding the right man (or ANY date-able man) where I currently live. 13. I am looking for a new job, partly becuase of this. I think that I probably shouldn't put THAT reason in a letter of resignation, if I should get a different position in a different state! 14. I'm wondering how long it takes to recover from burnout! This is the third time in my career that I have reached this point, and I know that it is temporary. 15. I have to teach a slight overload next semester, too, but it won't be as bad as this last semester. I'm covering some classes for a colleague who is out on medical leave to get cancer treatments...he currently looks healthier than the three of us who covered his classes this semester. 16. I am very thankful that I have fairly good health and I hope that everyone who has cancer gets the treatments that they need, and that the treatment isn't WORSE than the cancer. I am very glad that Kit is getting a new wheelchair and hopefully it will help his back. May everyone with chronic health problems get the medical relief that they need. |
Kstme | Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 07:53 am     MGA...I saw that wreck on the news...egads! What a mess!! 1. Marm NEEDS to find a NEW job FAST!! 2. Not sure if I'm anxious to see the "butt" shot or not??? 3. We have friends coming from Seattle this morning. 4. They are staying for three days. 5. We should have fun! 6. Got my fingers crossed for RG!! 7. I still love to roast my own coffee beans. 8. Did that this morning. 9. Ollie's pouting since last night. 10. He got into trouble for barking at nothing. 11. He does that...likes to hear himself. 12. I'm still amazed I got to see the National Rodeo Finals Finale!! 13. Thekid and I looked EVERYWHERE for the 20th year edition of Trivial Pursuit and couldn't find it yesterday!! 14. I have an "original" board. 15. TP is my favorite board game. 16. I have to iron this morning...blech! 17. Am I done now... |
Cyn | Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 10:32 am     1. I have to do 18 of these. 2. I had such a good appt with my doc yesterday that I stayed out of the Trent Lott thread. 3. )))I had to edit this to add this because I forgot to do this number.((( 4. I think politics should be changed to parlor tricks or politrix. 5. I love it, though. 6. I send thanks that Mygetaway and Family are safe. 7. I just ordered the last on my list of Christmas presents. 8. I still have to do some touches to something that I can't talk about in case who it's for happens in here. 9. I think that it is dumb to meet people at the airport when they are coming into Manhattan. 10. I think that we are only going to spend an hour looking for each other. 11. My baby cousin is trying to insist that I meet him at the airport. 12. Did I say that my baby cousin is 27 years old? 13. I am sure he will find the taxi stand and arrive safely at my door. 14. I am sure he will not be upset after doing it, because he will have found it exciting. 15. I am going to the market in an hour. 16. I was impressed with Ted Rodgers on Letterman yesterday. 17. I'm plum out of absolutes. 18. So, the weather in my neck of the woods looks to be fine today. |
Squaredsc | Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 04:08 pm     1. i kept waiting for the numbers to turn over. 2. but they didn't. 3. im glad that jed thought of the right now game. 4. today is d.h.'s 34th b-day. 5. but tonight buffy and cr is on. 6. i will have to squeeze him in somehow, someway. 7. maybe between commercials. 8. i have a thing for canned artichokes. 9. i love them. 10. i discovered them at the cafe at work. 11. they had them in this hollendaise(sp) sauce with sundried tomatoes over baked chicken. 12. i tried making it and i loved it. 13. the guys hated it. 14. so i eat my artichokes alone. 15. now i saute them in butter with a dash of white wine and mushrooms and minced garlic. mmmmmm. 16. im having some for dinner tonight. 17. the others are having leftover spaghetti. 18. i love spaghetti but can only have it once a week. 19. due to having acid reflux i can't enjoy italian foods as often. i had some last nite and it stayed with me. so once a few weeks is ok. |
Fanny | Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 04:13 pm     (I'm not doing my facts but I couldn't let Square's #4-7 go by without commenting. If I'd had a mouthful of anything it would be on my monitor right now. Square you are awesome.) |
