JSM's BEGGING FOR BAN THREAD #20 8/27/10 -

[no rose colored glasses]

Am I being laszy or what. Daughter just came in and ask what's for dinner? Told her I don't know, What you cooking?  I figure her dad & I are happy with soup and sandwiches. She has the kids and she can cook for them. And I have made dinner all this week so it's her turn. 

Or take out

[no rose colored glasses]

Glad to catch up reading on here.
I was working on my laptop all day..........suffice it to say I am OVER my head.
I think I corrupted a registry file.......
I finally just closed it up cuz I was starting to get frustrated and feeling angry.
Not worth it.
I am going to play w/ PJ on the floor for a bit
take a bath and
watch some stuff I DVR'd
Talk to you new friends tomorrow.
Safe trip, to the travelers.
Hugs for all
P

You and PJ have a relaxing evening watching TV

STUPID JSM I am so stupid, I found a cheap rate to go to Chicago so I booked the flight to leave tonight and get back Monday morning.

Only to find out that I had the departure/destination cities backwards  And since it was non refundable, they at least changed it so I can leave tomorrow get there at 6, and come back to Texas Monday night at 11 pm. 

Oh, honey, I am so so so so so sorry about this.
It has happened to many folks, I know that.
Are you flying into OHare?  That is only about an hour and ten from me.
You must feel so let down to have to wait a whole extra night.
Geez, wish I could help.
uploading a hug and lots of understanding.

  You are such a dear Tolerance. I am flying into Midway. My mom said it happened to her once too. Glad I am not the only person it has happened to. Thanks for the hugs and understanding. I just want you to know that you and 4 donks are always in my prayers. 

[joesamas mama]

  Fat man wants to go outside and sniff the grass, BBL and I am hungry. Bought lunch in the cafeteria and lost my appetite when I found out how stupid I was with the flight.    I swear I could eat a mountain gorilla right about now. 

[no rose colored glasses]

I have a headache.. need to get caught up. Doing some laundry before I leave.

For some reason I thought you were going next weekend to Chicago. Have a fun and safe trip 

You are right No Rose, I am going next weekend as well. Can I ship Josef UPS and you baby sit him the week I am gone. He would love that. 

I'm glad, I thought my mind was going completely, that should be fun two weekends in a row. I would love to babysit Josef, would spoil him rotten 

[no rose colored glasses]

  Popping in to say JSM have a safe trip!
Hope everyone has agood evening.I am waiting on sidekick to get here.See you monkeys in the morning....   

You and Sidekick have a great night playing and watching movies  And no fish sticks for Taco 

[4 Donks]

Do you know that I didn't even ask the doctor why he has put me on so much vitamin D. WTH, I did some reading and guessing it is osteoporosis, but don't even know 

We cannot have you breaking any bones.  Trust me at our age it sucks to break one and it takes forever to heal.

I can share with this...........in December of 2007 I broke my femur, it broke clean above the knee and then sprialed up to my hip.  I have a rod and 9 screws still in that leg because of the nature of the fracture.  Long story short Dr. did a bone scan to see if I had thinning of the bone and sure enough I did, not bad but some.  He put me on some medication for a year and a half.  I was shocked because I drink tons of milk - love milk!  I eat a lot of dairy.  What he told me was that even though I eat foods rich in Vitamin D and Calcium it is that the body has a harder time absorbing them.  So that may be why he is having you supplement your diet, so you don't develop any risks.   

Women also require estrogen to absorb calcium and after menopause you don't absorb as well, therefore you lose bone density. My breast cancer was estrogen receptor positive and they had me on meds that totally stopped estrogen production. I lost 2" in height due to compression fractures in L/S spine. Now they make me take D,calcium and another med to help with absorption and I am stable . Have a bone density test done and be proactive,

  4 Donks, glad you are well from the breast cancer. I never thought about estrogen helping to absorb calcium. Chit, I have been estrogen free since 1999, never took hormones after the big H. Guess I better ask the doctor. She never has said anything about it. 

That's a good idea JSM. Sister had to take prescription for her bone lose. Even that didn't work. She went on some kind of shot everyday for 2 years to build her bones back up. She never took anything after her big H either.  Don't want that happening.

Thanks Greeneyes. Before I got the hysterectomy I took too many rounds of Lupron shots. Found out later that you should only have two rounds and I had six. I think I read that could also cause osteoporosis. But crap, how many times have I crashed on the ice and never broken anything. I am going to ask my doctor next time I see her, which I hope won't be very soon. 

DO NOT TAKE ESTROGEN

That's why my cancer went from not detected on a mammogram to stage 3 in 9 mos. My cancer was estrogen receptor positive ( the most common) They have other meds available to help you absorb calcium.

[no rose colored glasses]

4 Donks I wouldn't take estrogen because my mom made me promise her that if needed I wouldn't take it, she had such problems from it. I never took it.

Mission did you get your groceries ordered?
We don't have anything but satelite or dial up where we are.  But called the other company that uses radio signals and they can put the pole on hubs barn but he has to dig a trench and put conduit down to the house. This is one time I am glad we have sandy soil.

I sure did and GreenEyes you are not going to believe what I did.  I was outside watering and fertilizing my gardens last night and it got to be about 8:30 and no groceries (you choose time slots, I always choose between 6-8) so I went in and called. 

OMG I am such a dumb azz I choose the wrong time slot (4-6) by mistake and they had already been to our house and left.  I was so mad at myself!!!  I ended up driving in to the store at 9 last night to pick them up (they had them saved in the cooler) I got home at 10:30.  So much for saving time huh?  I could just spit thinking about my mental pause moment still. And the embarrassing thing is I am not new to this grocery delivery thing, I have been doing it since I broke my leg in 2007 geeeeesh.  I am so glad it is Friday. 

Oh no I'm sorry that happened, that can happen to any of us, but am so glad you got the groceries, but sure wish, as you do, that it wouldn't have taken so much time     I have so much mental pause moments 

Hi Friends

4donks..I knew our prayers for Lumpy would be answerd

Mission...I found that after menopause you go into the next stage of life and you
have "mentalpause"  I forget everything unless I write it down..

[4 Donks]

4 Donks I wouldn't take estrogen because my mom made me promise her that if needed I wouldn't take it, she had such problems from it. I never took it.

I'm glad you listened to your Mom

I had a total hysterectomy and immediately went on ERT because of hot flashes. Although there were concerns about estrogen and breast cancer I had no history of breast cancer in my family  and thought my chances were negligible for the cancer

Thanks Trimm, have a great weekend. Give my sidekick a hug and a kiss. I really adore that little boy. Hope to see you in the morning. 

[4 Donks]

I have a headache.. need to get caught up. Doing some laundry before I leave.

For some reason I thought you were going next weekend to Chicago. Have a fun and safe trip 

You are right No Rose, I am going next weekend as well. Can I ship Josef UPS and you baby sit him the week I am gone. He would love that. 

I'm glad, I thought my mind was going completely, that should be fun two weekends in a row. I would love to babysit Josef, would spoil him rotten 

JSM don't have a long engagement. Paul and I got our marriage licence 2 wks after we met and my only regret is we waited that 2 wks.  Go for it.

  You mind isn't going No Rose.    I swear if I could send Josef to you, I would do it. I know he would love you so much and you would love him as well. He would be so spoiled rotten he wouldn't want to come home. 

[mymonkey]

JSM...have a good trip...it is so exciting to be in a new loving relationship....bet you feel like a teenager again...being in love is energizing....

How did Joe like like him? You may have already said and I missed it, I get behind and fast forward.

4donks...I have a sneaky feeling you may end up with the Zebra.

[Brandi]

Dear Lord. The vet just called with Lumps lab results and his Cushings is under control
Then he casually asked if I would like a zebra.,,,a ZEBRA  ::MonkeyShocked::Seems the market for exotics has dried up and a man has an intact male zebra he used to breed with donks (Zdonks) and doesn't want it any more. I declined because I would have to get it fixed to put with my guys and I have no idea how to care for a zebra.

Wow! Great news about Lumpy!!!

You have your hands full with family of rescues you have adopted! 4 donks, and how many dogs?

Nice of the vet to offer, though.

And, it's fun to imagine what it would be like:

     

 

Bumping this for 4 donks, in case she missed it
