Guest guest Report post Posted January 24, 2003 <PRE>thanks sherri, sorry to hear you are having a rough time. you stick to you guns and do what is best for you and your family. i still haven't called them yet. or done an update of my resume. it is too cold and i think i am procrastinating because i know i have a couple months left. i sent my severence pay to my mom, she is to only give me what i need so it should last 4 months. but you know how that goes too. especially in my life. i just got home from the dr's walk in clinic. she see's nothing, no yeast or any other furry or slimy critters. she was going to suggest i try zyrtec for the itching, but i've been on that daily for 3 years now. oh well, at least i know i am not diseased, so that puts part of me at rest i guess. told me to try benedryl, just be careful to make skin contact only. kathy in il ( i feel like the dog dragging her butt across the carpet!!)

Guest guest Report post Posted February 17, 2003 Kathy, I am glad that I have some others that love the show! I think that the new writers are heading in the right direction...having some fun! I want them to heat up Jack and a, get rid of find a hot new woman for Tad, let Brook stop whining and try to develop all of the core families that they have let die over the past five years. I miss Dimitri...he was the a romance I enjoyed the most even though I love Mike Roy with her. Tad needs a real story line and not just keep popping up holding the hands of all of the maladjusted ladies. I hate what they have done with Jake...I loved him with Greenlee and I would much prefer to see things heating up with them than some plumber (I hate that Jake is leaving). Anyway, we could probably have a bimonthly chat with you, Shandi and I and any others that like this show so we don't bore everyone else.

The part that arches down on the ends is almost completely gone. I look sort of like a Vulcan! There was a discussion here awhile back about thyroid problems and losing the outer third of your eyebrows, have you been checked for thyroid problems?

Guest guest Report post Posted February 18, 2003 Dear Cheryl #2: Yes, I've been tested for thyroid and am still waiting to discuss the tests with my endochrinologist. The results were borderline, so I don't know if he'll choose to treat me or not. Thanks for the input! Kathy (AIH) Seattle area Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted February 20, 2003 That's great, Kathy. It sounds like you are feeling better! Hope you continue to improve. Love and hugs, Carol Re: [ ] carol glad you are back at home and can relax a little with the housework done. feeling a bit better, today took my friend shopping and out to lunch, did some gardening (it was sunny and in the 40's, plus i go to the chiro tomorrow.) kathy in il Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted March 11, 2003 Hi Kathy, How did your day at work go? I hope it was great, but if it wasn't keep in mind that the first couple of days at a new job are almost always trying. Because you already know and like everyone, though, it will probably be much easier. I hope your joints cooperated. Yes, the strike is over! I just got back from seeing Life x 3, with Helen Hunt, Turturo (Quiz show movie among others) and Bret Spiner (Data on Star Trek). It was a " thinking comedy " where you viewed the same scene with two couples and see how just a few reactions changed the whole course of things drastically. Very enjoyable. The acting was incredible, and the stage was a circle in the center of a room of about 500, which really felt intimate. I really wanted to see a musical, but I honestly didn't know the strike was over and I thought I just got lucky and that this was off broadway. Well, I got the ticket for half price at Tixx (last minute tickets at a discount) so it was a great deal either way. I also went to the observation deck at the top of the Empire State Bldg. It really gave me pause to think of what it must have been like for people in the twin towers on that fateful day. My other stop was Times Square. Really awesome. I think NY is incredibly cool. And I've come across some colorful people today. The cab driver who took me back from the show went on and on about Bush and how he was going to kill innocent babies in Iraq. How we went from my asking him if it was busy tonight to that - yikes! He was pretty intense. I'm feeling really awful tonight, but I got everything I wanted to accomplished here. I don't like to waste an opportunity to see something new. But I'm flaring so bad that my eyes are so dry I can barely see the computer screen. Since I didn't drive this afternoon, I was able to take the pain meds so I could keep going. It really was a great thing to be able to enjoy the day so much. Tomorrow up to CT and Boston (after three clients). I'd better go give my eyes, and my body, a rest. Please us know how the day went! Love, Carol Re: [ ] OUCH! thanks carol, just getting ready to leave. just heard they came to a settlement on broadway!!! hope you get to see a show!! kathy in il here i go, say those prayers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted March 27, 2003 thanks heidi, arthur has been peeking around the corner. my shoulder has hurt for the last 3 days. i came home so exhausted yesterday. it was a very stressful day. dr was doing a screw removal in the office yesterday. he had a really rough time. the screw was stripped. he was so pale!! thank god the hospital gave him a special tool for christmas. he was able to get it out. thank god his wife was able to find the tool!!! i feel very frustrated. the dr's wife who is training me has her 2 youngest 5 and almost 3 in the office. they run around. making the dr scream. interuptions left and right. work stacking up everywhere. plus they bought a new software program 2 weeks ago. so she is trying to find her way around that too. very unorganized. i just feel helpless. i try to help when i can. plus i think they are having second thoughts about the full time girl they hired. i hope it's her and not me. dr told me his wife is full of compliments for me. but i have tried to do what they ask me to. i have learned how to do the billing. (i'm sure i'll still have special ones i'll need help with., but something is wrong with the program and not printing the hcfa forms right. they think the full time girl changed something. she is always playing around in the new software. messing things up. so i can't help that. i will say.......i'm glad it's friday. kathy in il Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted March 28, 2003 Dear W: Thanks...It's been a long haul...I've been babying myself like crazy, so hopefully that will be enough. I'm sort of in terror of relapse.

Braden's friend is here today, and I asked him what he remembered of the assignment and what was said. What he said just confirms that she did NOTHING to help him with that assignment and that Braden did NOT throw a tantrum. As the class was lining up to go to art she said, " Braden, you stay here and do the paper. If you don't do it I will send you to the principal's office. " OOOOHHHHH, I can't get into that meeting soon enough. GGGRRRRRRR.... Please do feel free to file that letter away and use it to suit your needs if you ever should. I pray you never have to.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 12, 2003 I have a Seeing Eye Puppy (though he doesn't look much like a puppy anymore - he's got to be 90 pounds!!) and I am taking him to an event with Seeing Eye today. Then every Saturday, I take one of my kids out alone for special time. This week it's my oldest - . is fun because he likes to eat the good restaurants now!! And it's good practice for him in speaking to a server. Kathy That is great. first - seeing eye puppy. That is so nice. I know you are doing a good thing, but I wouldn't be able to give up the dog when I had to. It is nice that you are helping other people. second - how nice about taking the kids out for special time. I really need to start doing that. I think it would do us all a world of good. speaking to the servers has never been a problem for my rugrats. I have to tell them to be quiet. Ally was 4 and she told the server to " Server, please go get me another drink and I would like some butter too " Like she was a princess. I was so embarrassed. Bradley talks so much to the server - they have a hard time getting away from him to wait on their other customers. If people from other tables say something to them - they both start talking - a mile a minute - I liken it to a shark attack. LOL!!!! They seem to be competitive when it comes to attention.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 13, 2003 Dawn, Regarding your kids talking the servers' ears off, both of my boys used to be that way when they were toddlers and preschoolers, but they don't talk as much anymore...Ironically, although Braden has developed a phobia of talking to servers, he has no inhibitions about shouting out jokes in the middle of class. Unfortunately, the teachers don't think he's very funny. However, when I ask him what he said that upset them and he tells me, I usually crack up. Not a good example to set, but that kid makes me laugh. It's not my fault the teachers have no sense of humor (I know, I know, before someone lectures me...there IS a proper time and place....)
