Raise your hand if you'd like to take over the task of organizing this trip!! :thumbdown:

#!!* Me!! You're right Tracy! So it's $195 each. Judy -- I think I have to pay the balance by June 11.... so let's say June 1st or so?

**MAJOR CORRECTION!!** Sorry, everyone....For some reason I had it in my head that there were 12 of us splitting the cost of the Alabama house...but it's NINE! There's actually 10 of us, and then I forgot that Laura isn't paying. DUH!! So I've recalculated and the balance of what each of us will owe is about $195[edited to correct figure]..and yes, that's after the deposit is subtracted. I apologize for the confusion. It's just been a long while since I messed with any of that. I'll email you a link with the Google spreasheet that has all the pertinent info.

Oh, RIGHT! I forgot to subtract that! So it'll only be about $155!! Wooohooo!! Jane, We have ATT U-verse and we really like it! However, we did have quite a startup problem and had to have our dvr box replaced about 4 times!! So if it's not behaving like you expect it to, you can call their customer service number and they are actually very nice and very responsive!!! Such a change from our Time-Warner we had before. They were rated in the top 10 companies for the worst customer service...and I believe it!! I think you'll be very pleased with ATT. DVR is AWESOME!! :tongue2: Well, I essentially just got out of bed. I got up at 5:00 then went back to bed at 8:30, now up at 1:00p. :wub: Still in my jammies.

Yep Haydee... sorry, but that doesn't qualify as a BAD pic....you're still gorgeous! Pamela - sounds like a fun day but sorry they lost! :thumbup: I hope they gave the guys a run for their money, though! For those going to Alabama in June ....this is just a reminder that the housing will cost about $215 each if 12 of us make the trip. Start saving your pennies!!!

The Bodybugg is still available if anyone is interested!

Well, i went online and looked up info on the Menninger Clinic which is one of the best....6-8 week program.....$1050 per DAY!! So, that's out. I did get his psych appt moved up to Tuesday rather than the 27th and also made an appt with a 'talk therapist' for Thursday. I went to see a girlfriend tonight and was giving her an update on Evan. Spewing it all out like that in one long timeline I realize he has had a VERY difficult past four months....he's had TEN fairly major negative events happen, any one of which is really enough to make him crater. So the fact that he is cratering now shouldn't surprise me!! He's going to stay with me for a few weeks and I'm going to keep him propped up as best I can. I think I can do a little better job of it than his dad....they just are too much alike and lock horns a lot lately. Evan and I get along really well for the most part and always have. He'll be okay and will get through this...but getting him to believe that is not easy. :grouphug:

I hope that's true, Tracy. It's hard to know what's best sometimes.... coddle him or play hard-ball. Coddling doesn't really "help" him....and hard-ball makes him crater into a puddle of tears. Doctor can't see him 'til the 27th. I think I'll go online and see about getting him into Baylor's program here in the medical center. Cutting edge research going on there. We've got some of the best care available in this city -- I suppose I should take advantage.

Michelle - I remember how hard it is to give a cat a bath!!!....How the hell to you give him an enema???? What causes this chronic constipation anyway? :confused: Poor Mo. TracyinKS - Nice post, girlfriend! Lucky you TracyK!! Haydee has such beautiful taste in clothes! Dontcha just wish she could box up that beautiful skin, hair and teeth to go with it??? I'm really worried about Evan. Somebody give me the lecture about how "worry" never helped anything. Please?! When i play this tape loop forward all I see is him spending his life in jail or under a bridge. HELP!!!

Good Mommy!!!

MICHELLE, This is for you!

JANE -- When did you lose 9# ????? Hot doggie!!!!

Uh, Mom? Just an FYI here....normally you don't give someone CHILI after they've been throwing up all day. (You'll need to know this later.) Clear Soups, broth, little bit of banana, dry toast, saltines, applesauce. No Fat. No Dairy. No Spice. No Acid. No meat. K? That's IT?????????? Just "Hi everyone" with a stupid little wavey icon? Hmmmph. Mmmmm nom nom nom.

Jenn - is this your first time to hit Onederland??

Kat - I AM SO GLAD Rick handled that the way he did -- with SOL (or SOB) sitting right there. Now Abbey knows for sure how things went down and it's not a he said/she said second-hand story. She also has a little more insight as to just how low her SOBAHH (son-of-a-bitch-asshole-husband) will stoop. Who the hell does he think he is?? OK, sorry. Asshole men just get my blood boiling - every time. I hope you're able to get some pictures of Corvin to us somehow! I'll bet he is just precious! Lucky you!! Hey, I know.....Call Dr. Phil and drag his ass on national television. hehehe

THIS WAS FUN: [/img]

Laura - He needs to get a Phenergan suppository ASAP tomorrow. Is he able to keep any fluids down at all? And YOU need to stay the hell away from him!

NO, It's a REAL COKE. Wanna make something of it? C'MON!! BRING IT!

Kat - I would be beside myself with anger in your situation! How can this son-of-a-bitch sleep at night??? But it would hurt more that Abbey tolerates such rudeness. I feel sorry for both of you...it's just plain SAD. I'm having a very stiff Jack and Coke right now. One more and I'm on a plane to go kick some SOL ass!!!!!!!!!! Gawd, can you imagine if us Violets could get him in a room alone??? He'd never be the same... What's his email address????? LOL

Here I am! Gosh I didn't even realize I hadn't posted all day! Hmmmmmm...what have I been doing??? One thing I did was look at my 401(k) and try to move some things around to stop the freaking bleeding! That was so depressing! I've been on the phone trying to get Evan's car taken care of, get a rent car, etc. This is not his 1st wreck...it's his THIRD! But this one is the worst and the first with his new car he got in May. The biggest issue that I'm concerned about right now is not the car, but his reaction to this whole mess. He is bi-polar, as you know, and has not been doing well the last couple of months. Come to find out he took HIMSELF off of one of his major meds....cold turkey. He's is just a complete mess. I just got off the phone with him....he was SOBBING for 45 minutes straight. Gotta call his psych tomorrow and get him in ASAP.

Oh yes, he's fine! Just a fender bender. No, wait, make that a front-grill-fender-and-side-door-bender. Not his fault -- a guy changed lanes quickly, Evan was in his blind spot, ran Evan into another car, then TOOK OFF! Grrrrrrrrr. Poor Evan -- he was sobbing -- he LOVES his car. :thumbup:

HOw's this for luck?? Yesterday I increased the deductible on my son's car insurance to $1,000. TODAY he had a wreck. :thumbup::cursing::thumbup::cursing::cursing:

Yep, I bought the stuff to make the pumpkin soup too....and you know me so well....I bought the spicy version of Jimmy Dean Country Sausage! My DH still puts a butt-load of Tobasco in just about everything I cook!! Jenn -- Are they serious about not allowing you to work and/or drive???

Gina - 4.8# loss!!! That's awesome!! Doesn't it feel good to see the numbers moving in the RIGHT direction? It's so nice to see you posting here... wish you'd come around more often! I know it sounds expensive, but it sounds about average considering they did not do your surgery. I've seen some that have to pay as much as $500 or more! Considering what they actually DO, it's highway robbery no matter how you look at it...but it is what it is. My flexible spending account reimburses for my fills, if you have one of those. Ok, I'll say it. I think he sounds like he's a little bit obsessive, if you ask me. Yeah, tell him to back off a bit and see how he reacts...that will tell you a lot! ((Hugs, Jenn)) Have a good day at work -- and TAKE IT EASY! Kat - I'm sorry you're having such a hard time right now. Remember, things will get back to normal in a few weeks and you are so disciplined...it won't take long for that weight to drop off again! I promise!! It's just those dang steroids! They make you want to eat like a horse!! Try not to lose faith. You haven't lost control -- not anything close to it -- it's just something that can't be helped right now. Accept it and roll with it as best you can. (((Hugs))) Well, I'm not losing any grand amounts of weight on the pouch test, but I feel better... will just keep on keepin' on. It's a miserable day here today--rainy and cold! It's still so dark out and it's 8:00a!
