HATE - crazy posting virus hits Hatesville! March 15

Oh Robin:( A month is a huge amount of time when they're teeny like that! Greyor is a wonder. We all know that! He's a precious, sweet wonderful gift. I know sometimes it's easy to wonder why, but clearly someone thought that Greyor needed the best family he could get, and so he got you:)

(((((((hugs)))))))
 
Robin ((((((((HUGS))))))))) You are such a kind soul, albeit a tad crazy, but very special; and that little boy couldn't have a better grandma. :)
 
Wow, what an funny crew today. I am back from the doc review early, I tought I would stop by.

I love the little ditty from Dana.

Michele - I'm glad your shoes feel good! Usually shoes just don't feel BAD, it is amazing when they actually feel good.

Deb - ROFLMAO about Tony. I hear he is a hottie.

Shelley - I'm glad Deb was able to put a smile on your face. HOpefully the depression has lifted. If not, my BA is in psychology so I am sure I could remember something from my college days to help you....or maybe not.

Heather - Congrats on the new baby in the family!

Dana - That sucks about the boring project. I actually hate when there is not a deadline, if feels like there is no end in sight. What is that theory that people always take the amount of time alotted to do a task? If you have 3 days, that is how long it will take. If you have the same task have have 5 days to do it, it takes that long. If you have no deadline, it drags on forever.

Arista - Your ring is gorgeous! And it is actually the correct ring I am saying it about this time. ;)

Well, I managed not to lift any boxes today! I told the girls my back hurt and I just did the boxes on the table, not the boxes stacked on the floor. They called me "granny" and other such names, but at least "little bean" is safe!

We didn't find the heartbeat on the doppler last night, so I am going to wait a few more days and try again maybe this weekend. It sometimes takes people a few weeks to find it so I am not freaking out or anything.

Tonight I am going out with some girlfriends from work to a sushi and cocktails happy hour. This was planned right before they knew I was pregnant - I totally thought they knew I was pregnant when they suggested this, since it is TWO things I can't have. But they had no idea. So I will be getting some chicken dish and water while they get sushi and cocktails, I will be jealous!
 
Wow, it took me so long to post that there have been like 10 posts since I started. I have to keep up!
 
Robin - (((((((((Hugs))))))))))))) Like everyone said, God obviously picked the most loving family for Greyor. He is so lucky to have a grandma like you.
 
Hey, y'all are nuts! I love ya for it! Unfortunately, I am struggling this week and not fit for forum banter. But, I did do Tony this morn, but that dam* Dreya kept distracting me with her moaning! }(


Oh, CONGRATULATIONS ARISTA! The ring is gorgeous and you are going to make one heck of a good wife. :)
 
Robin - I totally understand what you are saying. I used to do the same when the babies were in the NICU. Greyor does have battles to fight, but I'm encouraged by how he has faced his challenges so far. And everyone is right - he couldn't have a better, more loving Grandma!
 
You people are nuts again today! My stomach is giving me troubles today, hope to do Powerstrike 1 tonight, I'm sure I'll make myself. I probably won't do personals again today... hope you all understand.

Robin - {{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Happy reading!

Excerpts from a Cat's Daily Diary:

Day 683 of my captivity:
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They
dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates
and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt
for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless
must eat something in order to keep up my strength. The only thing that
keeps me going is my dream of escape. In
an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the floor. Today I
decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at
their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it
clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However,
they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I
am. The audacity! There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices
tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event.
However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my
confinement was due to the someone's "allergies." I must learn what this
means, and how to use it to my advantage. Today I was almost successful in
an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as
he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow -- but at the top of the
stairs. I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and
snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released and
seems to be more than willing to return. He is
obviously a loser. The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him communicating with the guards regularly.
I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe ...for now...
 
Robin--little Greyor is such a lucky guy to have the best gamma in the world-he is loved so much and he's very special-hugs to you--deb
 
Robin, have your cry, you've earned it. I'm not sure I could handle this situation as well as you have. I can't think of a thing to add to what's already been said, just that I agree with every word of it. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

Dana, you have a gift for ditty writing -- ROTFLMAO!!

ARISTA:eek: :eek: :eek: . Your ring is beautiful! I'm so happy for you. Thanks for putting up a picture. Oh boy! I hope we get to be in on all your plans:D

Diane, it's a good thing you behaved today and didn't lift those boxes. I don't wanna have to come over there, missy!

MSY, I saw your post and I accept the challenge, but I'm probably NOT going to do IMAX 2. I realized yesterday that I need a week or 2 of Cathe's beginner/intermediate cardio to catch up to where I used to be. I haven't done step in so long that even Basic Step had me winded and exhausted last night:eek:. I have made an important decision though -- I'm going to add step workouts back into my regular schedule. I should not have stopped doing them in the first place and boy, do I ever regret it now;)

As for the shoes -- I've seen some Born styles that I really liked but they didn't have enough arch support for me. These Finn comfort shoes have the most arch support I've ever had in a shoe next to my orthotics. They are so comfortable. I might have to order another pair!

{{{{{KARA}}}}} What's going on with you? You're always fit for the Haters thread! We don't place heavy expectations on anyone. Just come and have a laugh or 2, or just to blow off some steam:*

Jen, I LOVE the diaries. They're so true! :7 You're excused from personals and I hope your tummy's feeling better soon.

Alright then, I need a short nap, then I'll do my w/o, and I'm going to see if I can talk DH into dinner out. I have a coupon for a nice restaurant that expires soon and I want to use it up. He'll be leaving for another trip tomorrow:-(, so y'all're gonna have to put up with me. :p
 
RE: HATE - crazy posting virus hits Hatesville! March 1...

Thank you, haters, for all the hugs and support. Sometimes it's just overwhelming having two disabled kids in the same family. But we'll survive. I'm home now, stepped and feel a bit better.

Arista, I love the ring. It has a lovely old fashioned antique look to it.

Michele, how long will your DH be gone? We're here when you get lonely.

Dana, I love the unky song. August may have some competition.

Jen, have you seen a doctor about your stomach issues? MSY, any suggestions? Love the cat/dog diary.

Time to get out of my sweaty clothes and get some dinner.

Thanks again. Love you, haters.
 
RE: Nutballs Anonymous Check-in

Dana
I dont eat pancackes because one is not enough nor is a hundred so i just stay away
but>>> When lent is over if you come this way ill treat to a big plate of blueberry pancakes and a huge pot of coffee, always kept filled
 
RE: HATE - crazy posting virus hits Hatesville! March 1...

Hey guys, well I didn't have it in me to do Powerstrike, actually I had it in me but my tummy is so full of air/gas that jumping up & down hurts so bad & you can hear all the water in my tummy. :( It hurts so bad.

I did make myself do tomorrow nights workout tonight, Shape It up, a 80 min. beach body workout but it's less cardio intense so less jumping/kicking. My stomach still hurt the whole time but I lived.

Robin- Well I've been to the doctor in the past, basically told me I have IBS w/ constipation & not much you can really do for it. I drink hot water every morning & most of the time it helps but when I get stressed, etc... it acts up more & work lately has been really stressful.

MSY- If you have any suggestions for me I'd be happy to try anything, I hate my stomach issues & have eaten a bottle of tums last week & bought a new bottle for this week.

I haven't been eating my oatmeal like I was- I ate it for like every meal for a year or so and now I can't even stand to look at the stuff, I know I'll eventually eat it again but wow do I need a break. Now I'm on to egg beaters & fat free cheddar cheese for my b-fast on weekends & snacks.

Sorry to be so self absorbed... I'm going away now.
 
RE: HATE - crazy posting virus hits Hatesville! March 1...

Oh Jen - I am so sorry you have been so miserable lately. I would definitely go back and see your doctor again. If he/she has diagnosed you with constipation predominate IBS, there are some options. You can ask about Zelnorm, or ask to be referred to a specialist. Other meds such as SSRIs (usually used for anxiety or depression) can also be helpful for some people. But again, I really think you need to talk to your MD again. Look up info on the internet, and go in with a list of questions. Good luck!
 
RE: HATE - crazy posting virus hits Hatesville! March 1...

Jen, You are not self absorbed and no one here thinks you are!!!
You feel horrible and when that's the case, it's hard to focus on anything else.
Last year I had several medical problems. I was in the hospital twice with crazy symptoms and was tested for everything under the sun. I was stressed out , and insomnia being one of the symptoms, I was exhausted on top of it and I felt that all I thought about or talked about was my health....or lack of it.
I had some friends (several from right here on Cathe's site) that truely helped me get through it. Sometimes just talking about it helps and sometimes people have really good suggestions and advice.
Often a shoulder or an ear is what you need most.

Vent here as often as you need and you can email if you'd like. I know we've just "met" but I would be happy to listen anytime.

I hope you feel better soon and just for the record, I think you need to see your doctor again too.

Hugs
 
RE: HATE - crazy posting virus hits Hatesville! March 1...

Thanks MSY... I did ask my doctor about Zelnorm last time I was in there but the "hot water trick" was working on daily basis then where now it only works like 2-3 days/week & the others days I don't go & just hurt. He said that Zelnorm can't be taken long term & is very expensive so didn't recommend it for me.... ???

Becky- Do you mind me asking what they finally said was wrong with you? A lot of your symptoms sound a lot like what I've been having lately... very tired, can't sleep, take unisom & still can't sleep, I know I am stressed with work & put way too much pressure on myself trying to be the best I can but I've always been that way but never had the sleeping problems like I do now. I keep having to up the amount of unisom I take, I know, I know, it is bad but I have to sleep! Anyway, any advice you can give I am willing to take.

I have always had stomach issues, before I learned the "hot water trick" i would only go like once a week or less, it would wake me up in the middle of the night & I'd be on the bathroom floor in pain & tears for like 30 min to an hour before I could finally go... so, now compared to then is so much better. But, I have been drinking hot water every morning for like 3 or 4 years now & it seems like the effectiveness of it is starting to wear off, which isn't good.

Sorry to vent again & thanks for listening, I hate to complain about something so minor when so many others are worse off than me, makes me feel guilty.
 
RE: HATE - crazy posting virus hits Hatesville! March 1...

{{{{{Jen}}}}} I'm so sorry about all the trouble you're having with IBS. You're not self absorbed at all so please don't worry about that. We all need to vent a little sometimes. ;)

My sister struggles with IBS, too, so I understand how uncomfortable it is. She doesn't take any medication for it, but she's managed to control it fairly well with a high fiber diet and exercise. She drinks a lot of water during the day, too. Another thing that seems to help her is core work.

I agree with MSY that a follow up with your MD is probably the way to go, especially since the hot water doesn't seem to be helping you as much as it did at your last appointment. I think anytime you have a change in an existing condition you should tell your doctor about it.

Becky, I'm so glad you're doing well. I remember when you were in the hospital -- I think somebody posted it here on the OD forum. Let me say again how nice it is to have you in the HATERS thread :)

Robin, I just read about your little painting mishap. OMG, that's funny and yet heartbreaking. DH will be home on Sunday. Then he/we? are going to DC at the end of March. I have a question mark after "we" because I'm not sure I can go now. It looks like we might have to pick up the tab for a large portion of my sister's expenses when we go to Italy. We're happy to do it. She has so few pleasures in life and she's really excited about this trip. She's never traveled anywhere outside of Ohio. She may have gone to Michigan a time or two, and I think she's been to Chicago, and that's about it. Her wonderful and adoring husband will not be going to Italy with her. In case you didn't notice, I was being sarcastic.

I just got home from dinner and I need to help DH get his stuff together for the trip. I'll see y'all tomorrow. G'night:* :*

Good morning, August:* :*

Oops, MSY, I forgot to report on my workout. I did LIS and it wasn't pretty:eek: :7 .

Oh hey, Becky! OMG you have been to hell and back, haven't you? I didn't realize you had thyroid cancer. I'll keep you in my prayers in hopes that you can forgo another surgery.
