Today's our anniversary - though we're not doing much to celebrate. Technically I can kiss my hubby again, but still can't sleep in the same bed! I'm leaving today anyway since Evie's coming home today. What a bummer of an anniversary! My heart rate was near 100 last night, so I'm about to call the doc to see what I can do for that. I feel like crap today. Hoping this is the worst of it. Hot today too, not good for my heat intolerance. Ha!” 6:34:53 AM 6/24/09 “Good Morning...not too bad in Mid Ohio...high of 87 today...I can handle that....heat index in the 110s in Mobile...glad I'm here!!! busy morning...piano lessons @ 10:30, lunch,summer workbook, soccer camp @ 2-3:30 and home for violin practice, some cleaning & supper. I may throw in some state capitol practice! ...we keep busy here!!!...tomorrow Leah has a friend over until noon and then off to soccer...Friday we are packing a picnic lunch & off to the zoo!!!...Saturday we will spend @ the library with Jami...I will catch up on the latest magazines, finish my camping report & Leah will be volunteering there...Sunday...NOTHING...wooo hooo...maybe a trip to Trader Joe's ( I LOVE that store!!!) next week no soccer camp, so we will not be as busy!!!...we can go do some hiking in Mohican!!! SG...I hope you have a good day!!! and the rest of ya try to stay cool!!!! hugs... thinkin of RichB, Nowslimmer & Trevor....” 6:41:21 AM 6/24/09 “Does Mrs. Violin know about your practice? :)” 6:49:23 AM 6/24/09 “Heal well, sg.” 6:53:05 AM 6/24/09 “Treebait, I read some pretty icky reviews of the type of humor in the new Transformers. I don't get why movie companies make a movie based on toys and create it for older kids and adults?! Mr Foot, I concur! I'm headed to Seattle tomorrow where the temps won't top 71° while we're there. Looking forward to it!!” 10:29:43 AM 6/24/09 “I've been concerned about Transformers too. Reece is dying to see it. A co-worker found a review that said people were calling women bit's and pus's but with the whole word. That's a deal breaker for us. I dodged a bullet watching it in the theatres adn the kids were too young to turn around and ask what the "m" word meant. They're 2 years older now, I won't be so lucky a second time. I'll forward the review to both of you.” 11:18:54 AM 6/24/09 “Sounds like a good trip, Sass. Tell Birch "howdy" for us! Laurel's trip to a new dentist didn't go so well. The cleaning was only partially completed because she was afraid of them, so she got that, a good brushing and flossing, and the fluoride treatment. She also needs a surprising amount of work done. I looked at the digital x-rays, and yikes, her mouth needs some work. 3 teeth pulled, steel crowns, more sealant, fillings...So much for thinking she was doing well with her brushing. Her dental schedule now goes into the next year, because she'll max out how much insurance will cover. This sucks.” 11:20:37 AM 6/24/09 “Ouch tb. Sass, yall have fun. smiley, sorry to hear about the Anniversary. You'll have fun when you don't glow anymore though! Hope you get to feeling better.” 11:26:23 AM 6/24/09 “Dayhiker....someone I know has a 5 yr old(which means she was how old when the movie came out??) ...& her favorite movie was Transformers....I am not sure how she handled the M_ part....I was embarrassed that she saw that part!!!” 2:06:18 PM 6/24/09 “Reece would have been 7 and Emma 5. I think we just started talking to them and getting their attention. It was very uncomfortable. I think it would still be awkward if they were old enough to understand what it meant, but at least at that point you've had the talk. The getting exposed to stuff before they're supposed to is tough.” 2:12:17 PM 6/24/09 “That's what we do for that part of the first movie, DH. Distract her away form the movie during that scene. Aside from that naughty bit, it's a hilarious scene.” 6:26:58 PM 6/24/09 “why do they have to put stuff like that in movies that they KNOW young kids are going to watch????” 7:14:09 PM 6/24/09 “It is a hilarious scene and totally plausible....but as div said, they know really young kids are going to watch it.” 7:26:53 PM 6/24/09 “Jerry Maguire was the same way...they knew kids were going to watch it because of the little kid in it...Hollywood corrupting our kids....” 5:45:12 AM 6/25/09 “only if you let them.” 6:10:51 AM 6/25/09 “Oh please, I heard stuff like that all the time when I was a little kid, from my older brother and my uncle, when they were goofing off.” 7:40:31 AM 6/25/09 “I agree, TB. There seems to be lots of disgust about sex in our culture but little about violence. Then again, I don't like to hear women referred as b'ts or pus'ys either, but I'm old:)” 8:15:50 AM 6/25/09 “I guess I should add that my brother is 9 years older than me, and my uncle, 11 years older than me. Grandma always blamed my uncle on the vitamin B shots that she and grandpa got from the doctor. ;)” 8:19:33 AM 6/25/09 “Good point about the violence. I don't recall much in Jerry McGuire, but I saw that pre-kids. You want Laurel to ask you what masturbation is at this point?” 8:30:50 AM 6/25/09 “She already did actually. That had to do with the neighbor kids, not the movie.” 8:31:49 AM 6/25/09 “Ouch.” 8:40:28 AM 6/25/09 “Yeah. The kids in question don't live around here, but they pass through all the time, spouting all kinds of garbage. Laurel asks about it sometimes, when she doesn't understand what was said or it's meaning.” 8:42:44 AM 6/25/09 “My parents were so afraid of anything sexual that I could never talk to them. Instead I ended up telling it to the priest in confession. First he told me to sleep with my hands above the covers. My bedroom was upstairs in a house only heated with wood on the main floor, so it definitely didn't work in the winter. Next he had me tie my right hand to the bedpost, which resulted in a very high level of ambidexterity. This is to say nothing of all the Our Father's, Glory Be's and Hail Mary's I ended up saying. Now, for some strange reason, I feel compelled to have all my partners cover me up with the bedspread and tie my hand to the bed post before anything else happens. Oh well, whatever works.” 9:19:36 AM 6/25/09 “all of your partners ?? Choo Choo Charlie, huh?” 9:27:43 AM 6/25/09 “My comments are less about the particular topic of masturbation and more about the general subject of sexual jargon w.r.t. 1-3 grade kids. Nimble - that reminds me of the scene in Basic Instinct where Michael Douglas is talking to a shrink and he thinks she's about to ask him about to his childhood. He says something like, "Well, if you want to know how much I jerked off as a kid, well I don't know, but it was alot."” 9:35:12 AM 6/25/09 “Good Morning!!!.... last eve we had some bad storm go thru it got sooo dark!!!!...but the really bad stuff went sw of here..... ...going to Easton shopping today...too hot for the zoo...our original plan...wonder if they have a gear store???” 5:34:28 AM 6/26/09 “Divinity, we're watching that storm system push towards the Smokies right now. It'll fizzle to nothing by the time it gets here. Don't know that I want to hang here today. Way too ugly lately. I'm getting ready to haul Laurel to Florida on Monday. Oh, joy. I'm coming back up Thursday, and Laurel's staying.” 5:52:35 AM 6/26/09 “Another day of mid 90's with heat index in the low triple digits and no rain. This completes week two of this weather. It's supposed to go on into the middle of next week.” 6:17:38 AM 6/26/09 “Just finished weeding a row of onions. Yup, there were onions in there with those weeds:). Cooked up some stir fry last night with ingredients from the garden, some being supplemented from the grocery store. The harvest is commencing:)” 6:50:11 AM 6/26/09 “My yard has dead grass everywhere. YAYYYYYYYYYYYYY.....no mowing!” 7:00:56 AM 6/26/09 “Visited the Amish yesterday for strawberries. Made the jam today. My mom screwed up the last batch, so we're not sure if it will gel (jel?). I'm very shakey again today - my heart rate has not dropped below 90 despite the increase of my beta blocker. Good times here. I miss my husband and daughter. I will see them on Sunday.” 12:53:50 PM 6/26/09 “Dang Nimble, has the snow melted already?” 12:58:19 PM 6/26/09 “Good Morning!!!....going to the library to hang with my daughter...Leah is signed up to help & she is playing the violin... ...SG...hope ya get to feeling better soon!!!! ...treebait...don't let some ugliness keep ya away!!!...there are some mean, hateful folks in this world!!!...there is too much niceness here...just use the ignore function, or don't pay no mind!!! ...Dayhiker...stay in your pool!!!! ...thinking of RichB & Nowslimmer & Trevor ( who had some GREAT news this week!!!....Hope there is more to come!!!)” 3:52:03 AM 6/27/09 “Good morning, Glad to hear the good news with Trevor. SG get well soon. I remember having a high heart rate like that when I was anemic and it was no fun if you start to get palpitations. I had my chemo on Thursday and it went well. I'll feel some side effects probably starting tomorrow when the steroid wears off. I had an esophagus dilation yesterday and so far it seems improved so I'm eating a little easier. I hope it gets better as the swelling goes down. This time we'll give it a month to heal and see what we've got then before determining if another is needed. He said he opened up to a 57 which was the limit for the tool he used. I'm not sure if that meant 57mm and I wish I asked, but was a little loopy from the drugs and forgot. I went fly fishing Wednesday and caught a bunch of nice size brook trout. I'm taking my road bike out for a ride today since the weather looks good. The roads are really a mess around here for riding. Pot holes and cracked pavement all near the side on the road where a bike should be. It's really kind of dangerous if you are going fast coming down a hill and hit something like that. They don't seem to be getting out there to fix them either because the townships just don't have the money. last edited: 6/27/09 6:25:03 AM” 6:35:21 AM 6/27/09 “57mm = a little over 2" Does that sound about the the size of an esophogus? Chemo on Thur - check Bike riding on Sat - check Keep kicking ass man.” 12:41:17 PM 6/27/09 “Good to hear from ya RichB....I hope your chemo goes well!!!” 2:28:55 PM 6/27/09 “gut morgen” 2:34:19 AM 6/28/09 “Good morning, it's starting out nice, but we might get some rain later. Nothing new there and it seems like we get rain each day. I had a nice ride bike ride yesterday and the longest one yet my new bike, 46 miles with 2067 feet of climbing. Dayhiker, I didn't realize how big 57mm is so it wouldn't be that wide. They must use a different scale of measurement for the tool they use. A normal esophagus is between 1 and 1.5 inches wide. My doctor told me one reason the stricture keeps closing besides the radiation stenosis is that he's not stretching esophagus tissue, but tissue from skin grafts from my leg in 2006 and my arm last January so that tissue isn't as pliable. Where the stricture is really isn't my esophagus since that was shortened, the upper sphincter removed along with my throat. What's in there now is just a patchwork of skin grafts and as they heal they shrink making the problem even worse. Last year it took 12 of these dilations just to get it to stay open for 3 months. I'm up to number 5 this year.” 6:43:45 AM 6/28/09 “Ouch, that doesn't sound fun. 25.4mm = 1in” 6:56:55 AM 6/28/09 “Dilations generally don't hurt, but are a PITA just going for them. It's an all day affair to have it done since they do it in the OR.” 7:03:56 AM 6/28/09 “I'm supposed to be outside, helping HPM move shelving components inherited (ha ha) from my parents to our garage. HPM's dad brought them up in a trailer loaded with tools and stuff for working on the "fixer upper" they bought here. After getting bad food last night, I'm not liftin' nuthin' no-how.” 7:38:03 AM 6/28/09 “RichB...you are one brave soul!!!!...Treebait...lots of water for you!!!! ...I'm up...coffeed...pancaked...and dishes are finished!!!!....now I get to vaccuum!!!..wooo hooo!!! ...raining a bit here...keeping it cool!!! ..hugs to all!!!” 9:30:00 AM 6/28/09 “I'm drinking weak gator aid now. I've been going up and down the stairs, getting ready for my trip to Florida, and parts of my lower legs keep cramping up. Not the major muscles, but along side them.” 10:19:30 AM 6/28/09 “...Good Morning!!!...I hope everyone is feeling better & had a GREAT weekend.....we cleaned house here yesterday & just hung out!!!...going to visit my girlfriend next weekend!!!...& then to Chicago the weekend afterthat!!!!....busy...busy...busy!!!! ...today is piano & violin practice...summer workbook & afternoon swimming!!! ..ya'll behave & have a GREAT day!!!!” 5:51:36 AM 6/29/09 “Behaving and having a great day are mutually exclusive at the Nimblefoot Manor:)” 6:06:53 AM 6/29/09 “Divinity like to fiddle about? >8^b” 6:21:18 AM 6/29/09 “The Lowes truck just delivered a big load of supplies at 7:45 AM. It's a good thing I was up and coffeed (is that a word). They were scheduled to deliver them this afternoon.” 6:32:52 AM 6/29/09 “Same thing happened when they delivered the lumber for my deck. I also had to get a variance for the load limit on my road. They were restricted to coming in from only one direction - the one that would do the least damage to the shortest distance of the road - naturally they drove in from the other. The good news is that when they arrived I was struggling with breaking up a large chunk of concrete with an air hammer (is that a word?). I traded my old ford truck that wouldn't run anymore for him to remove the concrete slab with his forklift. A win win situation. He also brought me a case of beer when he picked up the truck:)” 7:13:03 AM 6/29/09 “How can doctors go on vacation for two weeks and a) not inform patients who are currently in need of medical help and b) not have another doc available for them to call/visit?? I'm so pissed off right now.” 8:50:15 AM 6/29/09 “...what a beautiful morning!!!.....72 degrees and wonderful breeze...and the smells..... ...summer workbook and violin & piano lessons today!!!! ...rain expected.... ...and going to the zoo this week since it cooled down!! ...I would love to fiddle around!!!...am I too old to learn???” 6:18:39 AM 6/30/09 Jump to Page << prev
