With all the rain you've had, I'd be thinking that your parking lot would be squeaky clean, POeter!

Well, the rain and warm weather melted all the snowbanks, revealing the, um, stuff, that had been hiding all winter.

Jack is really looking forward to may 10th, when Robert S. comes to town. . . .......

I hope the venue is better this time and he actually gets a chance to meet Rob.

Sugar is evil and addictive Just sayin....

Terry has his appointment for his cardiac MRI come through for April 19th (pretty rapid timing for the NHS..keep you posted folks....)

[celiac-mommy]

So sorry I missed it, but

HAPPY BELATED MOTHER'S DAY GNIKKKK!!!

How could I forget this with you being so kind as to take Stanley in on his travels

Hope everyone else is good. I'm still recovering from my race on Sunday. Tis hard to go up and down stairs!!

Hello me Psilly Friends- I have been MIA too long but missing me psillls. Still slowly recovering from stomach phlugue. My tummy's getting better but I am so flipping tired. Do youse guys find that it takes you longer to recover from stomach stuff now that you have celiac? I'm starting to worry.

I have been following along on me gmail and must say Geoss's pre-inebriation poem was very touching! :wub:

Gianknit- I hope your doc can get to the bottom of Skeeter's problems. Poor thing. That doesn't sound very fun. I had a year in college (this is a weird story) where I threw up every day after I ate. I went to the doctor and he accused me of being sub-consciously bulimic (uhm, how would that be possible?).

I fired him, my new doc scoped me and it turned out it was a combo of GERD and anxiety. It was very strange. Any possibility she has panic attacks? I get nauseous when anxious now but never throw up. It was just that year.

Nickers- HAPPY BELATED MAMMA'S DAY!!!!!!!!!

Would it be inappropriate to call you a SEXY MAMA? Eat those chocolates- they sound gooooodddd!

Terry has his appointment for his cardiac MRI come through for April 19th (pretty rapid timing for the NHS..keep you posted folks....)

Keep us posted. Thinking of Tel.

Hope everyone else is good. I'm still recovering from my race on Sunday. Tis hard to go up and down stairs!!

But we're proud of you and you should be proud of yerself (and take a hot bath and some Motrin)!!

[jerseyangel]

Hi Bevvie!!!

Hope yer tummy pheels all better soon!!

Came home to no power last night. Discovered the true downside to making everything you eat -- my choices for dinner were, cold cioppino, or, nothing.....

Drove to the next town to get glutino pretzels, having been inspired by a different thread and got to see the awesome site of driving over the bridge onto a completely dark island, kinda like what original settlers might have seen, y'know, without the car and the bridge, and the half-eaten bag of pretzels next to them...

Had pretzels and salsa by candlelight, a glass of wine, and went to bed.

Yeah . . . was there creepy music playing??? That's a dead giveaway, you know!!! . . . don't ever go check the fuse box when there's creepy music playing.

[curlyfries]

Mmmmmmmm . . . salsa . . . so just how many lessons do you need before you know how to make good salsa??

Evidently quite a lot

There's 3 levels of beginner classes, 4 classes each, then I don't know how many in intermediate.....I think that's when you get to add the peppers to it Advanced is when it really gets HOT !!!!!

Alone???? Salsa is no fun alone.

The process is underway to change docs . . . we're movin' to Cincinnati Childrens Hospital . . . s'pose to be famous er real good er sumptin!!! Have got my foot in the door. They won't schedule an appt till they have all medical records, tests, biopsy slides & stuff. Have got stuff headin' their way as we speak.

[psawyer]

Tis quiet here. My store is quiet this week because of March break.

We're gonna make lasagna for dinner and then watch the long-awaited return of Flashforward. It's on for two hours starting at eight Eastern and Pacific; seven Central. I guess nobody in the Mountain time zone has a TV, cuz they never give a time for them. Maybe Julie knows something...

[Darn210]

You know, we're averaging three posts a day or sumptin . . . is Emily on vacation??? We have not heard from her in several days. When is Jess' final??? It's taking her away from us. I don't think we should allow her to take anymore classes!!! . . . and how much longer is Patti's son gonna be laid up with the man-flughe-hand-surgery??? Plus Karrin??, what happened to Care-in??

I feel like I'm talking to meselph . . . I already do that enough off-line . . . don't need to do it on-line, too.

Just stopping by--big (((hug))) fer Jan-it

So much going on here lately, I'm mentally exhausted and just not spending a lot of time on-line. Nothing to do with Matt--he's great and I'm actually so happy to have him here right now. He's going home on Sunday, Dr's appt on Monday morning to remove stitches, etc.

Hope all is well wif everybody and that we've all just hit a busy stint all at once.

I am finalized. And wiped out. My boss that I complain about came in to the lab, saw my study materials spread out on my desk, said " oh.... you're....." I said, my final's today." He said " I won't bother you then, let's meet tomorrow." and left.

He really is a nice guy.

[elye]

Holy crap!! Where in hell have I been??

I must take a moment to pass on an incredible secret: a sure-fire, effective method for finding any small thing that you have dropped on the floor - - hardwood, tile, carpeting - - and lost sight of.. .. . .. . . ..a nail, paper clip, barrette, etc. This was divulged to me by Jack, the kid who is full of these amazing little things. He came upon me a few days ago, angrily swearing as I tried to find a small button that had fallen off my cuff as I was undoing my sleeve to do the dishes. "Mom! Mom! it's so easy to find somethin' like this! You just lie down on your back on the floor, then move around, wiggling your whole body slowly all over the place.. . . .and you'll suddenly feel it!"

Mygawd. I lay down on the hardwood, moved my body around... . . . ......and I suddenly felt the button. Under my shoulder, as I swept in a big arc. 'Twas quite astonishing.

What a revolutionary secret!

[jerseyangel]

Jack's observations are quite ingenious....I'd like to add that in the case of small, sharp objects--I tend to phind them as soon as I walk through said rooms barephoot

Jess, glad it's over and yer boss was so cool about it

[jerseyangel]

We had dessert from PF Changs tonight--I'm absolutely stuffed from the Chocolate Dome. <phatphace>

[Jestgar]

Well I sucked on my final (they stayed up all night grading and the scores are posted).

Whatever. Time for something more fun anyway....like calculus...

[celiac-mommy]

IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank God! Maddie and I have a mother/daughter day tomorrow (EXCITED!!)--followed by a sleep over (for her) cuz a whole day with me is just too much

Well I sucked on my final (they stayed up all night grading and the scores are posted).

Whatever. Time for something more fun anyway....like calculus...

Sorry 'bout yer final--you sure it's as bad as you think??

How sad is it that for my undergrad pre-med I was going to major in mathmatics (cuz everyone else was majoring in biology ) and my favorite subject was......calculus (physics was a strong 2nd). But I'm proud to be a nerd!

OMG. . . . . .....This thread is slowly bein' infiltrated by Mathies. . .. . ..... . . . ...... . ...Jyesssss, Jyaghnutt... .. ..... . . ... POeter the Numbers Oracle... .. .and now Rah-shyellle... .. . . .

This is actually good, as DD will be tackling grade twelve mathS in the fall, and if Jyaghgnutt isn't around I have others who can jump in.. .. . . . . .. ....

Gads Em! No one can do 12th grade math! Just try to get him to survive until he hits calculus, then we're here for him.

Tis true!! I had some sort of advanced math analysis class. It was only offered once a day and only 10 of us were crazy enough to take it! I was also not a big fan of geometry-theorems, postulates, axioms, arrrrrgh I don't want assumed answers, I want a solid equation, solid answer. (I also LURVE stoichiometry, I still use it daily, and sometimes for phun )

Look on the bright side, this still means that you're about a thousand times smarter than me

Calculus!!! Onward and upward!

[Jestgar]

I don't want assumed answers, I want a solid equation, solid answer.

This was my problem with programming - too many options. I kept asking for the right answer, and kept getting responses like "well, this way works...." or "if you started this way, then you should do this, but if you started this other way instead then...." Ummm, which way should I have started? "well it depends......"

All the solid answer/understanding concept questions I completely aced, all the coding questions I totally bombed. Too many possibilities.
