1.((((((((((((((cybermummy))))))))))))))))))))
2.I finally watched the POW-MIA episode of American Chopper tonight. I just love that show, but it just isn't the same without the Pauls butting heads
3.I had a very lazy and down day, but then after putting my DD to bed I got a burst of energy and cleaned out all of the "junk" drawers in the house. Woohooo!

1) I haven't posted here in quite some time

2) Had a lot to deal lately - illnesses and deaths. I'm hoping my mom's pacemaker and dad's kidney transplant will be the last emergency for a very long time

3) I'm glad 2003 is over

4) I'm hoping to drop by the chat room tomorrow night. Maybe I'll get lucky and run into The Usual Suspects

1. I think I was inches from death yesterday. I thought I had the flu, but I think I had some kind of food poisoning (Taco Bell - BLECH!).

2. Nausea, stomach problems, aches and pains all over...I couldn't even think because I hurt so much.

3. In 36 hours, I have had two pieces of toast and a banana, and about 16 ounces of pedialyte.

4. Not everything is staying in yet, though. So if I am not able to take in a significant amount of liquids today, it is off to the E.R. for IV fluids. :( Dehydration is my mortal enemy.

5. But, I feel better. I am going to perch on the couch and grade papers all day with a glass of pedialyte in one hand Try to contain your jealousy.

5.5 Taco Cabana is where they think my ds got Ecoli that started his spiral of health probs. Be careful about taking in too much sugar. Hope you feel better soon!!

1. Spybaby, so sorry to hear you are sick. I know the feeling. I haven't been able to keep much down since after Christmas. Still trying to find out why.
2. This one is not a fact about me but about my quirky yet lovable hubby. He hates all condiments. No mayo, mustard, ketchup(sorry KL), pickles, relish, or bbq sauce. He eats DRY sandwiches and won't even eat anything with condiments in it. No potato salad or coleslaw, etc. Strange bird but I love him just the same.
3. Me, I lather everything up with condiments.
4. Yesterday a good friend came over to help me pack. We had only been at it for about 30 minutes when I hit the floor in a cold sweat, throwing up, white as a sheet, and she had to help me to bed. She stayed until hubby got home from work and told him I just can't pack up this home while I'm so sick and he needs to pitch in and help. Well good luck on that. I'm not holding my breath.
5. I've been promising my daughter that I would send her a homemade pecan pie but until I find out what's wrong with me I don't want to send her pregnant self anything that could include germs. I'm afraid she may think that I'm just slacking.
6. I just found out that Billy Joels' broadway play, Movin'Out, is coming to Buffalo. I told hubby that I'm going if I have to go on my deathbed and pawn my jewelry for tickets. As you all know I'm a HUGE fan of the piano man and had a "moment" with him in NYC. I wouldn't miss that show for anything. If anyone wants to go with me, you are more than welcome to bunk in my house. Which is the house we will eventually have to move out of, but for now we are still in for the near forseeable future. Thank God for redtape. Hopefully it will give us time until the weather improves.
PS. Whew! I guess since I haven't had much to say in a while I felt the need to spew. Love you all!

1. Lyn, welcome back! I hope you don't have another emergency for a long time either. It sounds like a lot you've had to deal with. Twinkie, have you been to the doctor?? That doesn't sound good. Spy, glad you are better. Eggie, thinking of you... keep us posted.

2. I *S*N*O*W*! We get the perfect amount here in central Virginia, I think. Rarely too much to where we are sick of it, and usually enough to get us one or two good snow days a year. I'll be very surprised if I have to work tomorrow.

3. I couldn't decide if I should be snowed in at my sister's with her family or at my home with my cats. I opted for my home with my cats.

4. I'm going to work out soon and then spend the rest of the evening vegging guilt-free... reading a book... watching TV... just enjoying the solitude.

5. I'm drinking coffee out of a huge Firenze mug from Starbucks. I collect coffee mugs. I bought this one last weekend. It has Michelangelo's David on it and I LOVE that statue. When I was a preadolescent, seeing David was the beginning of my interest in the male anatomy! I've been attached to David ever since!

6. As an artist, I would generally rather draw the female form. Female bodies with their curves and roundness are usually better subjects. But David is sheer male beauty!

7. Okay, I'm done waxing poetic about the eroticism of a certain marble sculpture.

7.5 David

1. (((Spy))) & (((Twinks))) ~ hope you feel better soon!

2. Hermi, I loved your post and I wish I could be sitting there sipping coffee with you.

3. Although I've never lived where it snows, I think I would like what Hermi has described, so maybe I'll move to central Virginia :)

4. I collect coffee mugs too! I have way too many now, but so many are my favorites, so I can't name one favorite at the moment.

5. I don't have one with David on it though. I see a new mug being added to my collection soon!

6. If I had to choose a favorite mug, it would be by the size of the mug.

7. I like mugs that can hold at least two cups of coffee. I love drinking coffee!

8. And come to think about it, most of my mugs are in the colors of teals, blues, aquas, and of course those "mom" mugs from the colleges my kidlets attend.

8.5 Have a good Sunday everyone!

Wait. Isn't that the pic of Colossus?

(If that is a picture of Colossus, GaL better look out because he makes my knees weak, and that is in his marble form! If there is a flesh and blood one of these out there, I may just spontaneously combust if I get too close!)

Twinkie, post-operatively in 1998 for a small bellybutton hernia, I developed obstructions in my small intestine--which weren't discovered for about 6 weeks and were due to adhesions from a piece of mesh used in the surgery. During those 6 weeks, I threw up everything. It was awful. Is there any reason to suspect you have a blockage of some kind?

1. Almost over cold from last weekends chaperoning of high school band trip

2. went to church, and realized if I dont chaperone their Sat night overnight (no sleeping allowed of course!) I will feel like scum.. I so enjoyed MY high school church overnights, I feel like giving back.. I just dont htink I should be the only chaperone... or should I?

3. {{HUGS}}} Egmom, {{{hugs}}} lyn,{{hugs}} spy and Twinks...

4. Hermione, is there anyway you can make the Chicago gathering? I'm thinking GAL and Colussus may make an appearance!!

5. Speaking of great mugs, the hotel we're staying at in Chicago gave me a comp mug, and its perfect for the 2 cup of coffee (so dh claims, I'm a porcelin cup for tea myself!! *G)

6. I vacuumed today... and swept and mopped the kitchen floor, a rare occurance indeed

7. ds has a swim meet in another county tomorrow

8 if you discover empty alcohol bottles in your 18 yr college sons room, should you say anything? should you be concerned?

1. MOW and I switched from dial up to DSL this weekend. I'm loving every minute of it!

2. Unfortunately, or fortunately, my computer is giving us fits on and off the internet. It's bad enough that we have pretty much decided to buy ME a new computer.

3. I'm getting excited about this since I haven't had a new computer in 8 years. I got this one a couple years ago, but it was MOW's old one.

4. We went and played poker last night for my sister's birthday. OK, MOW played, I played with the kids and spent time chatting with the others who were staying sober and not playing, lol.

5. He learned that being the only sober person playing wasn't quite as fun as he thought it would be. They kept changing the rules on him half way through a hand.

6. He was more than slightly annoyed and swears he won't be playing with them anymore.

7. Caleb had his baseball tryouts yesterday. MOW said he did well, except that he didn't show the enthusiasm some of the other kids did. I think that has to do more with the fact that up until now he has never played to win and doesn't quite get it yet. In T-ball and coach pitch, no one ever lost, never kept score, and didn't count outs. He's in for a big shock this season.

8. What did Jim Carrey do with his hair???? I've been watching the golden globes, though really haven't seen much of it, lol.

9. My vacuum is broken and going to have to go to the shop this week. I see a few days more of sweeping the carpet..sigh.

Reader.. that's a hard one. At 18 he can make his own choices. I'm sure you've taught him well, and he knows what is good and bad for him. See if you can keep an eye on his grades. I would think that would be an indicator if it's a more serious problem. It may have been a one time thing, with him just "fitting in". Could be the roomates.. He still has one, right?

If you are paying for his college, and he is still under your insurance plans, I'd most likely say something. Just tell him you were a little worried by what you saw/found.

1. I wish I could make the Chicago gathering, but I have prom (which I am organizing almost single-handedly) AND Relay for Life that month.

2. Reader, I would let your son know that you are aware of it and ask him if something is going on. Is this your son with the hearing loss? Please email me if you want to talk about this. I'm sure it is typical teenage behavior, but I am in recovery and I already had the signs of alcoholism when I was that age so I can't help worrying. A Deaf friend of mine who is a substance abuse counselor told me that hard-of-hearing people have a higher incidence of alcoholism than average because of the fallout of straddling that line between the hearing and deaf worlds and not really belonging in either. Again, I am not trying to alarm you at all. Most teenagers I know drink to some extent and he is definitely at the age of spreading his wings. I just think it would not be a bad idea for you to be aware of what is/could be going on, and keep the lines of communication open.

3. *S*N*O*W* *D*A*Y*!*

4. Big mug of coffee and cat on my lap. HEAVEN.

5. YAY for LOTR for winning the Golden Globe(s). I was so happy!

6. I have worked out 9 times in the last 14 days. I really hope that thread will help me stick with it this time. I have got to get in better shape!

7. Less than a week to Survivor! I am so excited! GO BOSTON ROB!! (Apparently I have a penchant for obnoxious males. It is no wonder my dating life is shambles.)

8. {{{{EGGIE & TWINKIE}}}} That was a good health hug to both of you.

9. I think Jim Carrey is a talented actor, but somehow it is difficult to take him seriously. You know??

10. I can't remember the last time I mopped my kitchen floor. But it is a snow day!! That is a National Holiday in my book! No cleaning!
