Hi Silk, Angel and welcome Sugarball (Paula). Nice to have you with us.

I was so busy yesterday! My son and family came over int he afternoon, and my brother and SIL came for dinner. That kept me hopping. :dizzy: This afternoon, my daughter and family are coming over. I am so tired today - fatigue time I guess. I sure hope it passes. Oh well, no matter what, I love to see them all:)

Well ladies, since I am having fatigue today, I am also a bit foggy, and can't remember anything anybody said:lol: That is terrible, but hopefully tomorrow will be a clearer day. I hate living in the land of the fog:mad:

I do hope that you are all doing well and that you all enjoyed your weekend. Here, in Alberta, it is a long weekend. We love those!

Sugarball - yes, we are all about the same age here.

Hi Ladies!

Here I was, looking at threads and I see Angel hangs out here! :) Thought I would pop in to say "Hi". Boy, you guys are chatty.

Silk: So sorry to hear about your mom and brother. Just thinking about losing any of my brothers hurts. Course one still likes to get me in a headlock and says, "Tell me you love me or I'll lick your glasses".....I'd EVEN miss him. Just remember the good times and know that you will be together again one day...that he is still with you now.

Sorry to hear about your house Angel. Sounds like hubby has a Bob Villa streak....:). Lucky you!

Hope you guys are staying cool!!!!

Thanks for filling me in Happy Canuck I am not very good at this computer stuff.

We had a fair amount of rain this weekend but all in all it was not bad. Compared to the hot, dry weather they are having in the west we have no complaints.

I could not eat anything today as I am having that test tomorrow, not that not eating for a day will hurt me. I am nervous about it more about what they might find then the actual test.

Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Take care

That darn Atkins ad makes me mad!! Everytime I come on here, I forget to put on my popup stopper and up pops that stupid ad. I know it is necessary, but gee it sure is annoying.

Anyway, the reason for this post, is to let you know about a wonderful site for Newbies. I have belonged to this for over a year and have learned so much. When you sign up, they send a tutorial newsletter every week and that is where I learned. I have only had my computer for just over 3 years.

I will post this site and you can go look around.

Hope you all had a great day. The wind is blowing like mad here. I hope it isn't doing the same in Southern Alberta, where we have a massive fire burning. It seems that British Columbia and Alberta are on fire. All that beautiful mountain scenery will be gone for many years. I feel so bad for the people that have lost their homes. My nephew was evacuated from his home, up in a ski resort near Kamloops B.C. The fire was at the base of the mountain and working it's way up. However, losing a house is a lot better than losing your life!!!

Silk - I hope your tests went well today, and that you are not feeling to awful. At least it is now over.

Angel - I love my computer and would be totally lost without it. It really helps me divert pain when I can use it doing things I enjoy. I really enjoy playing in PSP - not great at it yet, but learning. My husband loves building houses. That seems to be his passion and he is good at it. Perfers to build from scratch instead of renos, but will do those if necessary.

Grasshopper - glad to have you join us. It's just a general chat not slotted for anything:lol: Hope you hear something about those tests tomorrow. It is hard waiting. That hot, humid weather is coming to Alberta. It is going to be 29C tomorrow, but humid so it will be a bad day for FM and arthritis. Both my buddies will be acting up. Wish I could spank them and send them to bed, but it just doesn't seem to work:?:

Hi Silk.......I'm sorry I haven't been on much. We've been having some really bad storms off & on for a few days now. I keep my computer unplugged a lot, because of it. After the fire, I don't want to take a chance of losing anything! I did post to you Tuesday...hope you read it.

I'm so sorry you have to have surgery tomorrow. What are they going to do? Do they have any idea what kind of blockage? I know you probably won't even get this post until afterwards, but I'm just concerned. I've had you on my mind...others also.

Know that I'm praying for you.....let me know something as soon as you can. http://www.agifs.hpg.ig.com.br/ursos/urso21.gif

Hi Candice.

Silk - sorry to be so late in answering your post. My goodness, I sure hope it is nothing serious. I guess they have to get in there to try to find out. I sure will keep you in my prayers.

Angel - I believe we are in for some thunderstorms tonight as well. Haven't had rain for so long, and Alberta is on fire. Scary situation. Sure don't need more lightening, but I guess we will get what we will get.

Hi grasshopper, hope your day was good.

Hi Happy Canuk....I meant to ask you about your nephew. If everything was alright with him. So sorry to hear of the troubles. I certainly know what that is like. I'm also curious as to what you are talking about with PSP. I know it's where you are working on your graphics, etc. (which are great...I'm really enjoying them.) But, is it a website....or a program you buy, or what? I'm curious, but also thought it might be something that might help me pass my time. Thanks...take care. http://www.greeting-cards.com/images/images/001801w.gif

PSP is Paint Shop Pro, a program that you buy. You can get a 30 day free trial at http://www.jasc.com/products/paintshoppro/ if you want to give it a try. It is a great diversion - believe me, you can really lose yourself:lol:

Hi Ladies,

Hmmm, think I'm going to have to chose a thread because I'm getting redundant! :lol: Could always be worse...no one could read em and I'd be talking to myself.

Got the test back but still have questions. Need to see my reg. doc. Was supposed to do that today but my car died. Not too happy about that.

Silk: So sorry to hear you've got to go into the hospital. Hope it's quick and easy. I hate hospitals...hate docters. You'll be in my prayers.

Hmmm, not much to report in my neck of the woods. Wish I could sent all the rain we've been having up north. Feels like we've been under rainclouds for weeks now....no rain, just heat. Such a shame all that natural beauty going up in fire. Then again, nature will always "spruce" herself up. Geez, can you believe I made such a bad pun???? :lol:

Tomorrow is my birthday. No big plans. Debating getting a new hair cut. Do something different. We'll have to see.

Hi everybody.....you know, it just hit me last night what PSP stood for! I feel so dumb!!! I've been thinking about how fun it probably would be. I just can't afford it right now. Our money goes toward rebuilding of our house. Maybe, I can try it in the future, though. Your work is so beautiful...it's really tempting.

Want to say http://www.members.aol.com/teejaw/smilies/Welcome3.gif to Candicej...hope you stay with us.

I could use some rain up here. It was supposed to rain last night and it did, but such a little bit. The thunder was sure booming and the lightening show was terrific. The past couple of days and next few will be hot and humid - I call that killer weather because I end up hurting so bad from it. Every joint and muscle in the body get going. Have had a headache now for 2 days.

Hope your car gets up and running. That is annoying when it doesn't work and you need it.:mad:

I hope that you have yourself a wonderful birthday. I read on the other thread that you will be 33. You are 3 years younger than my daughter. She did so well on ww. It took her a couple of years, but she lost 80 pounds and started running and working out with weights. She looks wonderful and feels so good about herself now.

Hi Ladies!

Thanks for the birthday wishes! Had a good day, a great day actually. I had to take my younger brother to the dermotologist. Sorry if I spelt that wrong. He has horrible acne but no insurance...we were waiting on a referral to a hospital clinic with a sliding scale but his face got so bad his eyes were swelling shut. I decided just to take him in and we'd deal with the cost.

Went in and they think he's eligible for a program that supplies free or reduce rate acutain. Normally, it could cost over $800 a month plus the additional costs of bloodtests. I'm so happy for him!!! Was like his birthday instead of mine! Poor guy has had bad skin for a long time but had no hope of affording the medication or the doc.

After that, I took him with me while I got my first manicure. Keep looking at my fingers and smiling. Had a big birthday dinner at TGI Fridays but figure if you can't indulge on your birthday when can you? I even got proofed :) :lol:

Hope everyone is feeling well. The doc didn't say much about those tests she wanted me to see my regular doc. I have an appointment with him on tuesday. Chosing not to worry until I know more....

Have a great weekend!

Angel, that is a terrible one to get. It sure seems to be moving fast. I don't know if this will help you or not.. It was posted on another site I belong to.

AMG:E - try this site below. The other one was not working. You can get the patch for microsoft. Just go download it if you haven't already done so. Then go to Symantec and get the worm remover that they have put it (if you have Norton)

.................................................. .................................

Go here to downlooad it from Windows:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/search.aspx?displaylang=en

Choose which OS you have, and do it right there.
If you have the virus, you will not be able to stay online very long, so you may not be online long enough to download the patch, but you can do manually. I have the directions to do it manually if that happens:


to turn off the RPC automatic shutdown follow these steps

Ckick START, in your Control panel, go to [click] administrative tools then to Components services. then under the folder on the left you will see something that says Services ( local ) click open.

then on the right hand side scroll down to the "remote procedure call" [manual]. highlight it right click and go to properties, then you can choose what to do. click on RECOVERY TAB, change from ' reboot in 60 seconds' to 'TAKE NO ACTION' in all three boxes . click apply and OK.

here is the patch for the RPC exploit, do this after the above


http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/search.aspx?displaylang=en


Here is the site for Norton and the Blaster Removal Tool

HI...I'M BACK!!!!!

I have really had a time with my cp...almost crashed on me yesterday! I tried calling that toll-free number, (after trying for several days) & got them. The technician worked with me for 4 hrs. He said he was happy I got him, because my cp was almost a goner.http://www.stopstart.fsnet.co.uk/mica/MiscPC.gif

Thanks Happy Canuk for your help...I thought did all you said in your advice....but I didn't get to stay online long enough to read all you said. I thought I had...just missed it, going on & off line so much! You were right...that was some of the things the technician had me to do. Only thing, I couldn't get anything to download, even manually....too much was invaded! He gave me several things to download for future protection...it'll take a few days for it all, but worth it.

I hope all are doing ok. Has anyone heard from Silk? I'm very concerned about her. Has anyone heard from her surgery?

Hi everyone, I am sorry that I have not answered before this but I was in the hospital and then we went away for a few days as my hubby is on holidays. I had a kidney stone and they removed it without any trouble. I was very relieved as I was very afraid when they weren't sure what the obstruction was. However, I am feeling much better. Thanks for your prayers.

I have to go to the rehumatalogist (not sure of the spelling) on Monday regarding my fybromyalgia.

It has been terribly hot and humid the last few days and then with the black out things have been a little tense.

Nice to hear from all of you.

I guess you've read about me being off with cp. I'm back, now, though, & cp is working better than ever!

It's very hot here...almost too hot to do anything. My poor husband is out working on the house, though. Puts a wet towel around his neck & keeps going!

I guess I'll go finish eating supper....saw your post & stopped eating.....you're good for my diet!:lol: I guess you found my private message...I was fixing to look you up.........somehow!!!:dizzy:

What a HOT HOT NIGHT! I'm debating just shaving my head! So glad to hear the you're doing okay Silk...been wondering about you myself.

Angel...hope your hubby is wearing a hat when he's out working. Bad way to get skin cancer and heat stoke....sorry, family of farmers....:)

Angel...if you want to download PSP I think there are free trials. My brother does that...then when the time is up he resets the computer to factory settings, tricks the system, and gets to download the trail program again for free.

That's about it for now. Night all!

Hi Grasshopper....hot there too...huh? http://www.whittibo.com/files/fungif066.gif Well....hubby wears a little cap sometimes..but most of the time, nothing on his head. I know......but you've never met anyone as stubborn as him. I just stopped arguing with him. He DOES put a wet towel around his neck, & sometimes I see it on his head! We have a son-in-law in Iraq....130-140 degree heat....guess we don't need to complain.

Thanks for the advise on PSP. I'm thinking about trying it out. I don't think I could redo the factory setting thing, though. I'm not thinking bad of your brother....I just have such a conscience, I'd go crazy!!:lol: I've always been that way. If I accidently take an ink pen I borrowed to write out a check....I call & apologize! I'm not claiming to be perfect.....that's just my personality. Sometimes it really gets in my way!!:dizzy: I guess that's one reason I take it so personal when things happen to me, like the worm virus in the cp....it was like they didn't like ME & wanted to hurt ME!!:lol: It's probably compulsive "something-or-other".http://www.gifanimations.com/Image/Animations/BodyParts/Faces/faces_012.gif

Hi everyone, it is good to be back in touch with all of you. Angel, thanks for your concern, I am sure your prayers helped.

I feel like the new kid on the block, I haven't felt like that for a long time since I am 57 years old and not anywhere near being a kid.

My weight is at a standstill. I am not gaining but I have not lost any weight for a while now, it is a vicious circle when I can't exercise because of the fybro and I continue to eat and worry about my weight.

It has been six weeks now since my brother passed away and I think it is just starting to sink in as I have been dreaming about him the past couple of nights and when I wake up I have to deal with the fact that he is gone all over again.

It is a beautiful Sunday morning and my husband has one more week of holidays so I will focus on the positive and not the negative.

I hope you all enjoy the day!

Take care

Hi Silk....sorry your weight is at a standstill right now. Mine is really dragging. I'm down to the last 10-15 pounds, so it'll take awhile. Like you, I can't exercise....that makes it very slow. Don't get discouraged, we can do it, & we will!!! Be sure to drink lots of water. The more, the better. That's something I've really slowed down on....I gotta get back to it.

Sorry you're still having problems dealing with your brother's death. I remember going through those things when my dad died. I was only 21, & we were very close. I'm 54 now, still have the dreams.....but I welcome them. It's my way of hanging on to him, I guess. Sometimes, it seems I can feel his presence. Can't explain it. No, I'm not weird....I just feel like he watches over me, somehow. Maybe, I just want to think that, but it helps.

There was another death of a young man my daughter was dating when she was 16. We had known him most of his life. He was killed in a car accident, on his way to our house to pick up our daughter for a hay ride on Halloween. She never really got over it/him. Neither did we. He was a very special person. She gets real depressed during October....I always hate when Halloween comes around, now.
She is married to a great guy now, & has a little boy & a little girl. Right now, he's in Iraq.....we are all so concerned for him, as well as all the others. If anything happens to him, I'm afraid my daughter wouldn't be able to handle it. She is a basket case all of the time. Luckily she has an identical twin sister, who helps her a lot. There are some things in this life, I just will never understand.

I don't mean to sound so down, today....sorry. I think, fighting with this cp this week....combined with living in the middle of a burnt house with no walls, etc, are just getting to me a little. I'll be ok.....also, I think my Remicade is beginning to wear off. I start getting a little moody, when that happens.

Feel better, & take care of yourself.....I'll check in later. http://users.raketnet.nl/maura/images/HANGINTHERE.GIF

Hi All,

Angel, so sorry to hear that your feeling blue. I hate when that happens. Sounds like you've got a Buffet of Worries to choose from....don't you wish that buffet had a light section? :lol: Okay, bad joke. Know what you mean about the house. We had our cesspool replaced back in March and the front of the house is still a mess. Lucky me is the one to deal with all the contractors....worst part is that the guy who put the cesspool in neglected to get a permit. Haven't heard from him recently and I'm debating if I need to file a report with Consumer Affairs. GRRRR!

Silk, sorry to hear that your still down. Nothing I can really say excpet (((((HUGS))))). Don't beat yourself up about stuff...what purpose does that serve? Wish I had a tape in my head that would play everytime I did it to myself.

Hmmm....life is pretty interesting for me right now. Have an old college friend who's having trouble getting a job. We both took similar college classes and taught at the same school. We've made a mutual support/motivation system. Getting tired of the Same %$#@ different day routine....Actually emailed my resume last night for a part time hospital job, got a call today, and they want me to interview for a more permanent position.

It's not exactly what I went to college for but at least it gets me out of the house and it's a step out of my rut. Now just need my car to be fixed so I can get there and I'll be one happy camper!

Still haven't gone for that stress test yet. Need to call, find out the cost, and arrange it around when I can borrow a car. Not looking forward to the treadmill because I'll be embarrassed at how out of shape I am. But, on the brightside, if I am going to have trouble with my heart at least I'll be at the hospital! Sick way to think about it isn't it? lol

Hope everyone is staying cool. I'll keep you guys in my prayers.

Hi Silk, glad you got the kidney stone looked after and that you had a holiday as well. I think that this is just part of the grieving process and soon you will be able to remember the fun times and be able to laugh. You will still cry and feel sad at times as well - even years later. Hang in there. I hope your appointment with the rheumy went well. I don't know what they can do to help you. Let me know what he tells you please, as I aslo have FM.

Angel - Sorry you are going through such a tough time. That virus was a rotten thing to get, especially when you don't know much about computers. I would be the same way. Thank goodness it missed me. Men can be very stubborn. It's like the saying goes "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink":lol: Hope you are feeling more up today.

Grasshopper - Hope you get the stress test done soon. In Canada, it is done as part of our healthcare and we don't pay out of pocket for it. Good luck on your job hunting.

I have been really busy the past few days. Had to wear the Halter Monitor for 24 hrs., had my kids here for dinner Sunday, and my cousin and her husband came and spent the night last night. Then today, I had to go to the dermatologist and to see my Dr. I am feeling rather drained tonight and it has been so hot the past few days - today it was in the 90's. We just don't get that kind of hot weather in August - usually. It has happened a few times, but it is rare.

Well everyone have a great night.

Hi ladies, Angel please tell your daughter I will pray for her everyday. It must be awful for her to be alone with the kids and worrying about her husband. Life is scarry sometimes, I wish her all the best.

Grasshopper, I don't think I have heard from you before, thanks for the kind words. We all have our troubles and it is good to have someplace to go to release our problems.

Happy Canuck, I love your cartoon, I have to get busy and practice so I can add some of these lovely characters that you use.

It is 1:00 a.m. and I can't sleep to I thought I would check my messages and was so glad to have one from all of you.

We sold my mothers house last week, she passed away a year ago May 4. I signed the final papers today and now we have to clear her house out by October 31. That is the house that the five of us grew-up in. We never lived anywhere else until we were married. With mom gone and Max gone our family dynamics have certainly changed.

Hi everyone.....I didn't mean to sound so down in my last post. I try to keep a positive attitude, & encourage. I really think when my Remicade starts wearing off, it has a big effect on me in several ways. I have a friend who takes the same treatments, only he takes them for Crohn's disease...mine is RA. I've noticed he gets a little moody & depressed just before his treatment is due. I thought it was because he dreaded them. ( the first 2-3 days after is really rough...not able to do anything, but stay home & lay down a lot!) But, since I've been taking them for about 6 mos now, I'm noticing the same pattern with me.

Silk....it wouldn't surprise me if the Neurologist didn't recommend these treatments for you. When mine found out I was taking Remicade for RA, he mentioned that it would probably help FM, also. I asked him if he thought I had that...he said he had suspicioned it. If he suggests it, I would recommend you try it. After the treatment, itself, wears off...there is SUCH a difference in your energy. A lot of my & my friends' problem is we're very sensitive to it, & receive a lot of other meds with it.
Sorry you couldn't sleep last night...I know how that is. Ever since our house burned, I sleep very little. I get up anywhere from 3-5am & get on the computer. Sorry, I'm talking about myself too much!

Happy Canuk....Have you found out anything from having to wear the monitor? Keep us informed. It's been very hot here, also! Yes...hubby's still working on house without hat.:dizzy: I, also, loved that cartoon!

Grasshopper....Don't worry about the treadmill showing you're out of shape. Dr will only be watching your heart...to see that it's IN shape!:) I hope you have some kind of insurance...it's VERY expensive! I feel like it should be like Canada...have health care available for everyone!

Hi, I went to the Rheumatologist today and he didn't recommend anything different then what I am already doing. He is going to recommend that my family doctor re-check my thyroid and to see if I am anemic, he just felt that all that has happened in the past year has caused my FM to get worse.

Angel, please don't apologize for talking to much about yourself as that is what we are here for, Lord knows I do enough of talking about myself.

It is very, very hot here again today, but as summer is almost at an end I guess I should not complain.

I am going to start supper now so I will probably be on later.

Hope everyone is well.

Take care
Silk

Hi All!

A lot of running around today... but got a lot done. Man, I'm beat...wish the cleaning fairies would come clean the house and cook dinner!!!! Think they went on strike.

Still haven't scheduled the stress test...need to take care of that tomorrow. I think that I'm eligible for a sliding scale...either way, I have to get it just so I have peace of mind.

Angel...don't apologize for venting. What's that saying? A load shared is a load lifted. Yes, it's not good to wallow in negative thoughts but it's not good to stuff them either....cause I don't know about you but stuffing bad feelings always goes better coated in chocolate :lol:...or deep fried...:lol:....or.....

Where did my mind go? lol

Really tired today....no idea why. Went to be early last night too. Do you guys find that your joints hurt with heat? Weird, just that my elbows and knees have been buggin me a little. I know it's the weight but wondering if it could be something else.

Enough talking about the World O Deb....not much happening here! Hope everyone is staying cool and feeling good!

Deb
