DD is moving into her residence on Sunday. Not a long drive for us -- perhaps 15 km -- but we'll have two stuffed cars. What in hell? Why is she taking two enormous suitcases full of clothing? She gets on a bus, comes home and grabs her winter sweaters in a couple of months....

Anyways, her room is on the fifteenth floor of one of the main res buildings -- the top floor, and there is no air conditioning. We are all hoping for a cool September. Also, the elevators, for whatever the reason, only stop at even floors. We have a sizeable bar fridge, dresser, huge suitcases and bags to haul up two flights of stairs from the fourteenth floor. :huh:

Dear gawd... . . ... .. .and how much is all this costing us?? <_<

Dratted "multi-quote" doens't wqrk on this computer.

J is on the 4th foor. 1 small elevator that gave out part way thru move-in.

But you gain a confident, beautiful, intelligent adult who (eventually) respects you and thinks you are wonderful.

And one who can support themselves!

But you have to move to a smaller house or you will end up with 'boomerang' kids.

But you'd have to anyway, to pay for their schooling. It's a brilliant design, really.

Are you taking him any peanut butter cookies so he can show the girls what they are supposed to taste like? :D

Yes. I'm baking them this afternoon & freezing for freshness.

Yes, well!... . . On the homemade baked goods front, Sophie is getting, let's see... . ...approximately.... .... . . ..... . . .nothing. :lol: We're paying most of her tuition, she can do her own damn baking.

Yup. By the time Jack is starting his undergrad, we will be moving into a one-bedroom walk-up in the burbs.. . . . .... <_<

I lived on the 12th floor of the dorms and the elevators were very intermittant. Was 107 degrees the weekend I moved in.... No elevators :blink:

Hello my psilies,

I've missed you all a lot. I actually had the pleasure of having a daughter all week (without the labor and very well behaved). Tony couldn't have been happier. Yesterday we brought him to school and thank God he has a single and doesn't have t deal with the roommate from hell. It's so different this year because he has a great set of friends and they all live in either the same suite or nearby.

Things have been up and down for Clark and I. He never heard about the job and also was rejected from URI (big surprise to us). My lymphocytes have almost doubled and I'm feeling like hell (that's why I haven't been online). But enough whining. Just wanted to let you know how much I miss and treasure you all.

Love,

Loey wub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

Haven't heard how the move went? Are you sprawled in a stairwell under a dresser whilst college students climb over you on thier way to a party?

This is what they are doing at my kids school! J actually didn't go because he wanted to play soccer in the gym. He said 8 kids were hospitalized with alcohol poisoning.

Whoa.. . ..... . .were I a new eighteen year-old alumnus there, I'd be all over that gathering (and believe that I was, twenty-some years ago. .. ..)... as a mom, I would be thanking the fates that my kid wasn't there.

Funny,, , ,,,same person, completely different reaction to a situation. :rolleyes:

We moved Sophie into her tiny dorm room on Saturday. It was 90 F here, with a blistering sun. All of the boxes and furniture were slipping from my sweat-soaked hands and arms....down stairs, off the dolley, onto my feet.... ..

Gawd, I needed manna's in-laws there.. .. ....they tend to deposit junk, but I think they move boxes, correct? :lol:

She went to a frosh party that night, and a musical the next evening, and a big gathering at the Olympic-sized campus pool the next night, where everybody was given a blow-up floaty mattress and they all lay in the water, floating around and watching a movie that was being shown on the huge overhead screen....

It all sounds like such a drag.

I cannot imagine why I have NOT heard from her since Sunday morning.

Isn't awful the things they expect those college kids like J & Sophie to do? Swimming parties, beach volleyball tournies, wall climbing, mt biking, movies, etc. Poor things have no time or energy for classes & homework.

Hi My Dear Psillies

Hope you are all doing well and not affected by our never ending weather conditions. I wanted to touch base because I might be offline (againsad.gif) for a while.

On Tuesday they are going in to remove and biopsy a small mass in my left frontal sinus cavity (cause of my migraines over the past 5 months). I also tested positive for ANA and my rheumatologist thinks it's Lupus. Then my PCP called and said to not drink alcohol or take tylenol because my liver count was abnormal ( that word makes me think of young frankenstein and abbynormal then I start thinking of the dance number and that makes me laugh). Nothing's going to keep me from laughing!

We're going to Clark's cousin's for the weekend and I wish I missed the no alcohol call until after we returned. I am getting to the point where I'm finding all of my health issues amusing and at some point disability mad.gif has to cave laugh.gif.

The best news is that my celiac has vastly healed and I think 99% of it has to do with all of you!!!

I'll probably be online before Tuesday but I wanted to 'splain my disappearance in case I don't get a chance.

Love you all,

Loey wub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

You guys are depressing me! I don't want to lose my babies!!!!

Ahhhhhh......reminding me of that unique smell of a guy's dorm room..... :rolleyes:

The toilets... Oh gosh, the toilets!!! I would go back to my floor of the dorms just to use the bathroom. Nor would I step foot in their showers!! Ummmm, wait.... No mom, I didn't have any reason to use their showers... :lol:

I just watched the documentary 'Forks Over Knives' It might be something interesting for you to check out. There's a ton of scientific research about it.... Want you better!!!!!!!!!

In J's dorm, each room of 2 boys has a bathroom. It is professionally cleaned hosed out every 2 weeks. There is a drain in the middle of the floor!

J chose these cute silver with glass shelves to put in the bathroom. I imagined them putting the roll of TP,stacked neatly on one shelf, one kids extra shampoo, etc on a shelf, the others on the other. They took the whole pack of TP & laid it on a shelf. They had swim trunks and soccer socks drying on the other shelves.

      For back pain, I take a combination of Cobalamine B12, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1 (in the form Benfotiamine), which have an analgesic effect.  These three B vitamins together work way better than those over the counter pain relievers.  Theses are water soluble B vitamins that are easily excreted via the kidneys if not needed.  Thiamine will also help the nausea.

      @stephaniekl, welcome to the forum, Is your daughter taking any nutritional supplements?   Weight loss and failure to thrive are two symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms are not recognized as such by doctors.   I experienced similar symptoms when I became malnourished.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can become worse quickly, and can affect one emotionally and mentally.  Although blood tests for thiamine aren't accurate, do have your daughter checked for nutritional deficiencies.  Thiamine B 1 works with the other B vitamins and magnesium.  Thiamine and Niacin B 3 help improve Gerd.  All the B vitamins are frequently low due to malabsorption.  Vitamin D will help calm the immune system.  Thiamine helps the immune system fight off viruses like those tick borne illnesses.   Thiamine Mononitrate, which is in many vitamin supplements, is not bioavailable.  I was taking a multivitamin containing thiamine mononitrate and still became deficient in thiamine. Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  A form called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) is also excellent for correcting thiamine deficiency.  A combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine B12, and Pyridoxine B 6 has analgesic properties.  I take it for back pain.   Keep us posted on your progress! Interesting Reading... The importance of thiamine (vitamin B1) in humans https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10568373/#:~:text=Thiamine absorption in the jejunum,system [51–53].

      Has prednisone or some other systemic steroid been tried that might quiet her immune system down for a while? I have two acquaintances with Lyme's disease. It is a wicked condition that has long fingers.

      We have.  She is so limited as to what she can eat.  She has a nutritionist, but they are even at a loss.  Right now, her pain is so significant that she can only eat 5-10 bites a meal.   We just got some labs back today and she is hypoglycemia, anemic and her immune system is shot.  She also is positive for 3 tickborne illnesses.  Thanks for your help!
