Ba! Cackled out loud with that one! HYSTERICAL!!!!!!! The idea of swimming in a river with a bunch of other people kicking around my head doesn't sound like my idea of fun. But as my father says, "but that's why they make chocolate ice cream b/c not everyone likes vanilla"! PJTA(sk) - why am I so enthralled with prison shows? I don't mean city jail; I mean where they house major criminals like at Corcoran Prison in Cali. I'm going to go with appreciating what I have!

OK wth my wireless mouse just died and it wasn't the battery!!! grr But on a good note, the neighbor's construction has stopped after 13 hours - yippee!

If you figure it out, please school me. Three of us were moved from our old dept and combined into another. A manager in the new dept was "explaining" something to me that I've known....oh 6-7 years now. I looked at her like she had a 2nd head. Ever since she got promoted to manager, she has thought her sh!t doesn't stink. Heaven help her if she ever talks down to me like I've heard her do others!!! Tho one fun thing is that one of the acctg ladies has called her everything but a beotch and at a very high decibel. Whew but it was hi-larity!!! 1. That is SO great; congrats!!!! :crying: 2. I almost spit out my drink; was not what I was expecting!

CC - I'm very sorry about your job as well. Bring on the good economy! (Yes I am on oxy for the shingles. Can you tell?)

I had a salad for dinner too. Oopsies!

We could tear up some shopping in Tenn + GA!!! And we would be helping the economy to boot! :biggrin:

Thanks! I read online that those over 60 are 15x more likely to get shingles than those younger. Other risks are being immuno-suppressed (not me), having cancer (not me), and stress. I had a busy April but I don't think I was anymore stressed than I have been in the past. Who knows!!! All I know is that it's annoying! I can't remember if I said on here but my maternal grandparents have both had shingles as have my mom and brother (who was early 20's). If you have familial history, you are more likely to be one of the lucky 1M Americans/yr to get it. I would've rather won the lottery!!! :glare:

Thanks all. From what I've read, it's best if you're on anti-virals w/in the first 72 hours and I think it was 81 hours. :glare: Last night wasn't the most fun; I kept waking up in some pain. It feels like I've either been burned or like I'm being stuck with pins/needles. I took some left over liquid hydrocodone from the surgery but I swear it's cough syrup b/c it did nothing for pain. The doc gave me a percocet prescription so I guess it's time to fill it! The doc told me that I'm not contagious but webmd said that I'm not contagious to those that have had chickenpox or the chickenpox vaccine. So I don't know whether to go to work Monday or not, sheesh. Plus one of my gf's said that her son had it at 2 and that the doc says it gets worse before it gets better. Joy.

Thanks. Luckily I'm not in a huge amount of pain like a lot of people that suffer. I just feel kinda achy like I have the flu.

Thanks so much and AMEN!!

Can't speak for everyone, but you never have to apologize for getting something off your chest IMO!!! I never had children and would've loved to have so I have absolutely no sense of why any parent would crap out on their child. That's as foreign to me as being an alligator is! OK that is seriously the sweetest post ever, Ebony!!! (And no, I am not one to blow sunshine.) You need a hug from someone on that!!! Fanny - sounds like that bus ride was definitely the best money spent - tho he didn't need to steal it from y'all. Unbelievable. A gf had to take her ex to to court and then finally to jail. OMG he was such a loser. PJTP my news - I just found out that I have shingles. WTF!!! We'd decided at work that I had poison ivy so I was very shocked to find out that it was shingles!! I was prescribed a nasty tasting anti-viral (famciclovir) and silvadene cream. My shingles are on the back of my neck at the hairline that's maybe the size of 2 quarters and on the front of my neck that's maybe 3" long. I freaked when it started going up to my cheek so that's why I went to a doctor. Good fricken fun.

They suck muchly; I sympathize!

Because she's a lazy beotch that thinks she's entitled to have everyone wait on her every need? Yeah, that was disgusting. Thanks for the warning!

Oh PJTP - I don't remember if I told y'all but this school year I had been reading to a 4th grader. Today was the year end celebration. We said good-bye to our kiddos and a magician entertained us. He wasn't the most sophisticated magician but the kids absolutely howled!!! They were SO cute!

He was kidding by saying that or you really do put on seat warmers at 85? I'd be "sweating like a whore in church"!!!

My house is set at 71, I think. If I never saw over 80 again, it would be too soon! (But I don't want to live in the winter wonderland with Tap to achieve that!)

Oh crap, Susan.....that really sucks!! I have the air on and a separate fan too!

And I love the a/c!!!!!

There have no posts to this thread all day?!? Gasp!

He's been busy this week working! Give the poor guy some slack!

Ha!!! No piggy has gotten me!

Congratulations, E!! That's awesome!!

my workplace loaded up on purell a year or so ago. i'm pretty anti-purell until now. i'm not being a freak about it but i'm trying to be vigilant with the hand washing (plus during allergy season, it's never good to put a pollen-laden finger up to my eye!!!) This is why I always say that people are cattle/followers and SO easily led. Just like you can be in a movie theatre with 4 other people and someone will come and sit right in front of you. Or the idjut that is content to follow behind you on the interstate. OK you caught up to me; time for you to fly and be freeeeeeee. What else? Oh, today's gripe - RUBBERNECKERS!!!!! Took me twice what it should've to get home tonight b/c some folks had an accident that was pulled over to the shoulder. We stopped dead on a major interstate so folks could look at the blue lights. And plain, before you ask.....no, I'm not pms'ing!!!

I agree; she's adorable! Both the dog and the daughter have lotsa hair! I'm jealous. Amen. They would've gotten a "go to hell" look for me that would've singed (sp) her eyebrows. Had that not worked, I would've said (loudly), "since you are in SUCH a big hurry, why don't you go in front of me instead of hitting my injured ankle/foot/leg?!?" OMG :drool: When I broke both my legs in 1993, I was lucky enough to have had a great experience save one old woman who said, "wow, you're really a klutz." Hmm, thanks mamaw.

Awesome; great to hear that you, at least, have a diagnosis! (Not awesome that you have an ulcer, of course!) Did you work today?
