Talking of docs, - Tel got the results of his 'stress test' he had done on his heart.....there were abnormalities and they want him now to have an angiogram

Keep us posted, Nik

The Russian phar-tay sounded like a rip-snorter! Glad you had a good time and a lot o' vodka So-o-o-o happy to hear that the boiler is workin again.

Um, Sills.........can everyone see me post here?

I do

Good Monday mornin sills.....having a hard time getting going. I wonder if Jan-it is taking Skeet to the doctor this AM?

Must throw in a load of laundry and do me Pilates. House a mess after the weekend, as usual. Watched some of the figure skating last night--just magical.

HalloooOooOo, Peeeps!

Gnick isht hongovah, ya? Mygawd, wodka can be an eeeeevil thing.. ... ..no smell, nice and smooth, goes down so effortlessly and unnoticeably with tomato or orange juice... ........ .....gah, trouble ... ..... . ....

And Tel's heart.... . .... ..LET'S GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS!! An angiogram will be a good thing.. .......I do hope things are done faster over there than here, but cardiac issues are usually dealt with, I must say, quite quickly in Ontrario. . ... . . ...be thinking about youse guys, Gnick!

Off to watch some o' the highlights of the Olympics (well done Canucks BTW!!!)...

Our first gold medal EVER on home soil, on the sKi slopes. . . ....... a cute 22 year-old lad from Montreal, something of an underdog. 'Twas PHAB!

But Gnick, I truly miss Eddie the Eagle. He absolutely MADE the '88 Calgary Olympics for me and millions of other Canucks. He became an adopted national hero, and we all still talk about him.. . . ...!!

Emily, I gotsta believe you somehow missed Susie's post . . . this is the whole thing . . . you know you can link back to it by clicking on the little swirly grEy arrow at the beginning of the header info for the quote.

:lol:

'tis our motto, our anthem, if I"ve ever heard it!!

<but then I read the following sentence about your beloved Gus and got instantly sad ......what a grand old boy he was!!!!>

Also sad about Georgian Olympic luger........ can only console myself with the fact that he died doing what he loved.......but will be SO WORRIED about lugers from now on......

and HEY!! I came on here tonight, whilst watching opening ceremonies, to say hidee-ho to our Canucks.....and no one's here!!! *crickets*

Am four or five pages behind.......just read a bit about our new GROUP job of sheep-herding - count me IN!!!!

Sills.....FINALLY some good news in my life.........got a new job.......fell into it, landed in my lap, though we'd been talking about it for weeks.........working for some lifelong friends........pinching myself as it seems like a dream......we go to dog park every aft (they have three dogs) and, Jane, the gourmet cook, feeds me gluten-free lunch every day.........

<she eats g f , PRAISE THE LORD!!!> fills my tank with gas, sends me home with tons of food..... Too good to be true? Pray that it is not....

more details later........just wanted to check in before settling in bed wif my babies to watch the SHOW! I have missed only one opening ceremony in my ENTIRE LIFE (summer 2004, was in mountains)......gots the TV on next to me as I type......ceremonies have not started yet......

Love and miss you all.......will catch up tomorrow

I wonder if Jan-it is taking Skeet to the doctor this AM?

You betcha I did. I gots me pediatrician involved in the whole mess. Once again, I was told this is NOT the usual kind of reaction to a med . . . She thinks there is some sort of allergy going on, also, but doesn't have a guess as to what it is (and doesn't think it was necessarily the Reglan . . . but not ruling it out either). She's gonna run down the labs that were done and give me a call later. She has given me the name of a new pedGI which I will check out toot ssweet. She was surprised that the current GI prescribed the Reglan without doing the Gastric Emptying Study.

[Darn210]

Nick - keep us informed on Tel's Cardiac Adventures . . . hope you get some answers quickly.

Around 6 week wait apparently??.... they also need to speak to Terry's hAemotologist (he also has an autoimmune blood condition ) as they think the 2 are related??

WIH?... unfortunately I couldn't go wiv Tel (boilerman) ...and you know men NEVER ask the right questions

Our first gold medal EVER on home soil, on the sKi slopes. . . ....... a cute 22 year-old lad from Montreal, something of an underdog. 'Twas PHAB!

T'was EVERYONE'S hero!!!!!!!!!!!

Eddie was quality!!!

Tel is moaning at my 'hogging' the tv to watch the Olympics.... I said he'd do well to remember t'is the World Cup this year (football peeps, but not as you know it! )

I've also warned him to cancel any ideas of watching anything else during the 2012 Olympics

Wait !!! ..... I might actually be able to go and see some events!! (wonder how?.. can the general public go to events?? )

Glad she's on the case! Half the battle is having a doc that will try and figure it out and if not, steer you to someone who will.

Yeah baby!!!

Wow Nik....6 weeks?

[elye]

Good news on your with-it GI, Jyaghnutt.. . . ..you'll suss this out!

Wow Nik....6 weeks?

Hmmph. Such is often the way when you do not have to open your wallet for these procedures.. . ....

My mom had an angiogram last fall.. . ... ..it took a couple of weeks, as I recall. Not bad, and free, but still -- heart diagnostics should be days, I think.

HEY! Question from The Ripper!:

Would you rather hit every red light for the rest of your life

OR

Have your eyes glued shut for three days?

Dear gawd. . . . .......HATE red lights .. ... . ..... ..I do enough waiting as it is.. . ...... . but being blind for three days would be most taxing. Would my family help, do all my work - - would I just stay in bed?? Dunno if I could stand it... . . .. . .but sitting at every single intersection until I cease to drive.. .. ... . .?

Who said the red lights would cease if your not driving but still in the car?

[Darn210]

HEY! Question from The Ripper!:

Would you rather hit every red light for the rest of your life

OR

Have your eyes glued shut for three days?

No brainer . . . glue me eyes shut for three days!!!! I'm assuming I won't have to actually do any driving on those three days

[jerseyangel]

HEY! Question from The Ripper!:

Would you rather hit every red light for the rest of your life

OR

Have your eyes glued shut for three days?

As annoying as it would be, I would have to go wif #1. I would be afraid to be blind, even fer 3 days.

[elye]

No brainer . . . glue me eyes shut for three days!!!! I'm assuming I won't have to actually do any driving on those three days

YES! I think it would be most prudent to combine these two situations. ..... .. ....my eyes glued shut AND hitting every single red light at all intersections - - that way I would have constant pockets of time when I could be trying to orient myself, feel around for the pedals, buttons and shifts, pray. . .. . . .....

[JNBunnie1]

Y'know, my vision is already so poor that I operate quite blind without glasses anyway, so I'd DEFINITELY go for #2. I can literally cook blind, simple stuff anyway. Red lights forever and ever? No thanks!

[Darn210]

Red lights forever and ever? No thanks!

I have to go through a bajillion stop lights before I get to the interstate!!! I'll sleep for the three days thank you very much!!

[kareng]

I might take the stop lights. Its a chance to relax & listen to my music or quiet. Could, also: apply makeup, do hair or eat breakfast as you know every day that you will have the time.

BUT... 3 days not seeing the worn out tshirts, too short pants, too baggy pants with underwear showing, ratty hair in the face that the teens wear might be relaxing too.

Forgot: eyes shut while teaching the youngest to drive might be a good idea.

[DingoGirl]

i really HATE this new phormat, BTW

and congrats on yer Gold, Canucks!! Saw it.....was awake from midnight until 5 am, and it turns out NBC replays its entire Olympic broadcast during that time.......

Leesah!!! You have been usurped!!

We have our new summariser

SOOZE..I can see your posts

NIK!!! SIX WEEKS??? this ain't right.......Janie has six triple stents in one artery.....three separate angioplasties......they get her in RIGHT AWAY!! can't you raise a stink??? it's the man's HEART for God's sake!!!!!!!

I might take the stop lights. Its a chance to relax & listen to my music or quiet. Could, also: apply makeup, do hair or eat breakfast as you know every day that you will have the time.

my gawd, this new Kareiengh is PHUNNY!!! but, I don't think she can see my posts.........or if so, she completely ignores me

Um........as to The Ripper's question......would HAPPILY lay here w/ my eyes glued shut for three days....good lord! Sometimes I do that ANYway! Just need someone to mind the pets.......and feed me, I suppose......

and now *I* have a question for all of YOU:

How many dogs do you know who have been _{thrown out of a moving car, sent hurtling onto the CURB, if you will, by an errant SHOP VAC??????????? While said Shop Vac was being transported to one's parents' house??????}

and

do you THINK there's only one in the world??? Because I sure do.

[jerseyangel]

How many dogs do you know who have been _{thrown out of a moving car, sent hurtling onto the CURB, if you will, by an errant SHOP VAC??????????? While said Shop Vac was being transported to one's parents' house??????}

What happened?

[Darn210]

What happened?

. . . and is everybody OK?

[jerseyangel]

. . . and is everybody OK?

Yeah....please tell us Weezie is alright.

[DingoGirl]

. . . and is everybody OK?

Yeah....please tell us Weezie is alright.

Well, I am LITERALLY the world's most unfit parent. I am a walking Mr. Magoo, if you will.......total scatterbrain. Probably because I didn't have kids? Not really always looking out for Safety First.

Everybody IS okay.......she's literally licking her wounds.....if I hadn't seen the fall, it would be the funniest thing EVER, you could have videotaped it and sent it in and won money.......I mean, WHAT DOG gets hit by a Shop Vac and thrown from the car? (does anyone remember when she got hit by a rolling pumpkin on the way to my brother's for halloween, and LEAPED out at an intersection???)

alas, we were innocently driving to my parents'........returning their large Shop Vac......Weez was in back of Jeep (seat is always folded down, making the back flat).....looking out her rear side window, as always, as the dingos are wont to do.........I braked and turned right........Shop Vac went HURTLING forward and hit her - _{she FLEW out of the car and onto the curb}

I SCREECHED on the brakes and got my baby she has two nicks in the top of paw, and cut her upper rear pad

I am a terrible person.

I am/was shaken beyond belief........stopped everything and went back home....cleaned the wounds........gave many thanks to GOD that nothing worse happened.......went back over to my mom's (believe you me, when Weez saw the shop back put BACK into the car, she was hesitant - but crap from said Shop Vac had spilled all over the back - had to vacuum it out - because Dodo, that's me, didn't empty it before taking it over)

Have learned some lessons.......about being more careful.......driving more carefully......NEVER having an object that can knock her out of car, and leaving window more closed........ALWAYS scrutinizing the house for dangers before I leave, and checking it again a second time........TOO many accidents have happened........and we have been LUCKY........but luck will run out!!!

going to bed.........and NOT going to billionaire's house tomorrow.........need a new crown, filling is crumbling (near front of mouth, is apparent) and going to cost about a thousand dollars

C R A P

[jerseyangel]

Soozle honey, thank goodness the Weez wasn't badly hurt. Poor thing must have been so scared. We do the best we can but things are still going to happen once in a while. Don't be too hard on yourself.

Try and get some rest now

[mushroom]

I might take the stop lights. Its a chance to relax & listen to my music or quiet. Could, also: apply makeup, do hair or eat breakfast as you know every day that you will have the time.

Don't you do this whilst you are driving, like everyone else on the freeway???

Well, I am LITERALLY the world's most unfit parent.

I am a terrible person.

Listen to yourself, girl! You absolutely are NOT! Coulda happened to anyone of us and none of us are unfit parents or terrible persons

And now you are missing out on billionaire weekend and have a sore toof and paying lotsa money for da privilege. Life is just not fair, but don't you go round talking such rubbish. Take good care of yerself and wee Weezie, give him a hug for me and he'll be all better.

Sorry- Yes I can see you & your posts.

Dog- I'm speechless. Did that happen & he still speaks to you?

According to my dog: Bark" Woof growl! GRRRRRRRRR! Roughly translates to all Vacs are evil & attacking a dog whilst enjoying his car ride proves it.

[elye]

Good Morning, Psillies!

Thinkin' about you and The Weeze, Psoooze. Bah, rotten luck! You couldn't have secured the vac any better, right? Weeze had to be where she was. . .. ...ya did the best you could!

Crumbling toof.. . . ...heinous, and $$. . . ...
