I totally agree with Pamela, and all others about the mother of the octoplets. Do you know that my health insurance is 600 a month, and I have a $2500 deductible, and a $5000 out of pocket after that. That is over $15,000, I have to work my ass off to pay for it. Then on top of that I had to pay for my band because my insurance doesn't cover weight loss. I think that people are taking the easy way out and letting the government do the hard work for them, and sit back and collect from the government what they should be working for!! Oh don't get me started on this................... Jane

Too funny Tracy!!!

Good morning!!! Tracyk what a day!! I have heard from customers what a HUGE problem that can be. Hope they got it solved and fixed!!! Michelle, I know this is going to sound odd, but if the smell still persists, sprinkle some of your cat litter (unused of course!!) over the area, then let it sit for a couple of hours, overnight if you have the space for kids, then vacuum it up. The charcoal or whatever the ingredient is helps with the smell and soaking up anything missed!! I know it sounds weird, but it works!! I hope you find some relief Pam!! By the way I still have my souvenir from Gruene!!!!!!!!!!!! Haydee, did you get a bad storm there? Is that why the alarms went off? We ended up getting a TON of rain yesterday, but no storms. They said we were going to get bad storms but we didn't. Another slow day at work today. I have two clients and the one I only charge what he can pay. So I don't give him a price he usually gives me ten dollars. He is nice but has a lot of problems. My other customer is a blow dry. So no money for me this week!!! Glad I have my fill!!!! Good morning to Judy, Bobster, Heather, Laura, MO, Terri, Tracyks, Suzie, Suziet, Jennifer, Gina, Denise, special hugs and morning to Kat!!!

Kat I had a picc line for about a month, and I gave myself the iv's. My mom was there to learn just in case. It is no big deal, they come and deliver the medicine every other day and then come and take my blood the next, and so on and so on. I was lucky and never had one tiny problem!! I even worked with my picc line in after awhile. I just scheduled my day around the meds. This was when I had the staph infection in my tummy from the ovarian surgery. I just wrote down each step and then looked at that every time I did it. It sounds worse than it is. I had been in the hospital long enough with that, so I was happy to be out!! Very slow day at work. I have had more customers this year than any year I remember call to cancel because of the stomach flu!! I am knocking on wood as I type. At least they reschedule!! Is it just St. Louis or is it everywhere? I am feeling restriction with my fill. I am very very happy right now. I have a lot of things going right!! Now I hope nobody faints or something, but I even walked on my treadmill 32:38 minutes!!!!! Okay off to do some home stuff!!!

Good morning!! Couldn't sleep last night. Don't know why. Glad everything is good here!! My fill is great so far. I have not eaten any solid foods yet. I get mushys today. My Dr. never had me follow a post fill diet. So I am trying it. I really want to eat though. Hi, Suzyt! Off to do some stuff around the house!!!

What I am grateful for--I found out today my white blood count is finally back to normal!!! I am totally lost on the Harleynana thing. I hope that she took nothing that was said the wrong way, everything that I have seen has been love and concern filled for Kat and her daughter. Odd, somebody said it right the other day when they said the printed words didn't come with sound to know how we meant it. Hugs to all who need it!! Tired and going to bed!!
-
Kat, my heart goes out to you and your whole family, I agree to wait out the storm/traffic. I got caught up in a bad traffic snarl last night, don't know what the reason was, but it put me in a BAD mood, sitting there waiting!!! I hope everyone has a great and safe day!!!!!!
-
Okay I am going to be very selfish today and be grateful I got my fill!!!! On my selfish days I am grateful that I have WONDERFUL VIOLET SISTERS that spread their outpouring of love!! BUT EVEN WITH ALL THAT IS GOING ON, I CAN'T HELP BUT BE THANKFUL THAT I HAVE A REAL FILL! Extra special thoughts go out to Kat and Judy!!!!
-
Lovely flowers Michelle!! I forgot to get the minutes out and the meeting is tomorrow!! Yikes, I finally got them done and sent out. But, am late!! I am going to run to Dr.s office for a blood test, and keep your fingers crossed that it is low!! I don't want to worry anymore!!! Then at 2:15 I GET MY FILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a good one, I am off to shower and be on my way!!!!!!!! Jane

Kat and Judy YOU GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!
-
Good morning!! I get my fill tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you tell I need it? Power of prayers works, 10 years ago when I had my brain tumor, I had so many people praying for me. I think I missed a week and a half the first surgery!! I am sure if the Dr. knew he would think I was crazy, but it didn't do any harm, and it was what I needed. There is something about having some normalcy in your life.... You know Michelle last night I was thinking about MO! I hope all is well with him? Or is it a Her? I think yesterday I had my psychic hat on! Okay off to do some stuff!! Have a great day and be careful Suzie!!!!!!!!!!!

You guys are funny talking about hooha's!! Kat, I feel out of the loop when I am at work, so I called for an update! Was the slowest week I have had in a few years! I am bummed, but hoping next week is better! I think people are waiting longer, it save a few dollars for them, and makes me no never mind if I cut an inch or three, it is still a cut, so it doesn't make my job harder, just not totally recession proof! I can't believe I am about to say this, but I am hot!! I live on the third floor and it gets full afternoon sun, and today it was over 75 in my house! Since I keep it cold in winter that is hot for me. Jane

Have you ever noticed how I always end a sentance with more than one punctuation mark?????? I just figured it out! If it drives anyone crazy let me know and I will try to stop!

Michelle, is your husband a proffessional photographer? The pics are wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Oh my gosh Laura!! I read that story and it just makes my heart ache!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone!! I am late getting ready, didn't want to get out of bed. Still would like to crawl back in bed. Oh well off I go!!! Have a good one, and hope everything is well on Kats end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Kat, couldn't get on earlier so I had no idea all that was going on. I hope all gets more normal for you soon. I am glad they are putting in a pic line, one of the antibiotics they gave me burned the veins, I got it 2x's a day, and the site would get all swollen and red before the 2nd! A couple of nurses were surprised I didn't have one with the meds they had me on. I can tolerate pain a tiny bit more than average, the stick didn't bother me, but what happened after the meds did. Boy that was a rambling thing........ Okay I am now going to bed. Enjoy your flowers Michelle!!! I am with Pamela, flowers usually do it for me!!! Have a good weekend everyone!!!!!!!!!

Well off to work, long day today!!! I have one of my craziest customers coming in today and she really does wear me out!!! She is nuts!! Nice, but nuts!!!!
-

I am going to call for an emergency fill today and see if they can't take me next Monday!! I wonder if this can't be a mistake!! Gonna get to work, have a great day everyone!!! I am scared shitless about this weight!!

Haydee, if the tickets are not real expensive, go see it. Laura Bell Bundy who originated the role, was the lead for us because the other girl fell or something. It was cute, and entertaining. Not for men though. They did something in the paper here on that!! Violet karma coming your way Kat for your whole family!!! Take care Tracyk!!! Hey Tracyks what is your surprise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Judy too funny about the straps!!! Legally Blonde was okay and enjoyable. I think I need to join the cast to become skinny!! Oh my gosh they had this jump rope scene with some GREAT looking guys, and then girls started jumping rope and it was so intense and in sync!! Looked like even if I was in shape I couldn't do it!! Okay off to watch the game!!

I hear you Michelle on your last post, but I am the girl who cried wolf, more like screamed on my part. I also hope the commercials are good. Although Kurt Warner did play with the Rams for a long time here, so I am sort of rooting for them. Although they say they don't have a chance, Pittsburg might be to lax about playing and then blow it!! Tom came today with a vengence!! Ouch!! It is getting better though. Drugs gotta love em!! Judy I bet Kris is tired. That was so neat that you went there. I think there is one near Kansas City, they look really neat!! I am not going to church again today, and my mom finally said what do you have against church lately, it is not church it is that I have gained so much that I know people there will talk!! We are going to see the play "Legally Blonde" today, I hope it is good. Well got to go get ready! Hope everyone is having a great day and enjoy the super bowl!!!!!!!!! I will be like Ms. Lois from Romper Room, I see Terry and Pamela and Michelle!!
