Happy Birthday, Anne!!! Sounds like it was a nice one!! Sorry about your toe!!
Had a little scare yesterday-there were charges on a credit card that we hadn't used in a while-all to some Microsoft Ad thing. called Chase and they cancelled the charges and my card-sending a new one. they had tried to call me but only had our MA phone. So ladies-check your cards!! At least it had only happened a few days ago.
Up at 3-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will take a nap when Brad goes to Bible study at 7.
Had IBS all day from the Chinese-no more!!
Bye for now-Mima

Very stiff this morning. I've been fighting a headache for two days now. Last night I took my regular meds, which make me sleepy anyway, plus something for a migraine. In about 10 minutes I was out. This morning I woke up so stiff I can't move my neck. I'm sitting here at my neck trying to stretch it out and keep getting weirds looks. LOL People just don't understand so I don't even bother trying to explain it. Just let them stare, it will give them something good to look at! haha

It's a beautiful day here and I plan on walking a couple laps on the track before I leave work. DD loves it when I walk because she gets to play on the playground. I like do it before I leave because I get off at 300 and no one but employees and students can be on the track until 340, so we get the track all to our selves!

Meme- ( I had a Meme, gosh, I still miss her so much!) Sorry to hear about your aunt. Is she able to do anything at all? Makes sure she gets good therapy sometimes that makes a world of difference, but of course it depends on how severe the stroke was.

Mima- ACK! I had that happen a few years ago with Cingular (now AT&T) the punk who took my order for a new cell phone, paid about 4 of his bills with my credit card. Visa investigated and took off the charges. I always wondered if he was charged with anything.

Happy Belated Birthday Anne! Hope you had a good day.

Good morning everyone and Happy Birthday, Anne!! Still 39, right? I'm never going to get older than 39!! Queenie had me up again at 2 am. Something is definitely not sitting right with her. I haven't changed a thing except for those two new treats the other day. I can't believe it would last this long over two little strange treats...but maybe I rushed mixing in some of her regular food last night. Back to the chicken/burger and rice!! If she's not "regular" in a couple of days, I'll call the vet.
Mima, I check my statements every month...always...without fail. While I don't use my credit card much except for my online medication shipments through my insurance, you never know so I always look over my statement when it comes in. My debit card is another story! I use that almost exclusively for everything but I do my banking online with that card so I see the charges appear everyday. I think because the economy is so tough right now, we are going to see a lot more of this dishonest stuff going on. Desperation can make people do terrible things. One of my neighbor's husbands just had his hours cut significantly at work. He's an A/C repairman. They have two kids and no other income. Don't know how they are going to do it....no family to help them out. How would any of you go about offering something like food without making them feel worse? Should I just buy an extra whole chicken or roast on sale and offer it to them? I just don't know how I would present this respectfully without hurting their dignity. Any suggestions? Mima, chinese food will get you everytime! If it was an eggroll or anything fried....that's the culprit. I think it's the oil they use in the fryolators...goes right through you!
Meme, good luck with your talk tonight. I truly hope Ross's parents see the light when it comes to dealing with him. You've set a great example but parenting skills are difficult to master. If a child isn't the number one focus of the family in all respects, nothing will change. They need to focus on his discipline and well being first and foremost and put everything else second. If they can't do that, there will always be some issues. Good luck with it. I'll be pulling for you all.
Beth, not sure what area you are from but I have always had headache problems based on the barometric pressure. If the pressure drops suddenly like before a storm, I can always count on a low-grade headache for a couple of days. I used to get migraines but they stopped being so severe about 10 years ago. That was about my menopausal time too so maybe that helped. I have been reading a lot about this Atlas treatment that Happy (Anne) told me about. Still can't find a specialist in my area for that but they have also recently discovered that the Atlas treatment helps high blood pressure too. Interesting stuff if you have time to check it out. Maybe Anne can post the website again for us? NUCCA? Hope you get some relief from the sore achy feeling....we've definitely all been there!
Off to the store to get more supplies for "her royal highness". Need to cook up some more rice and chicken stuff. Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their day. Hi Joanne and Tammy!! Hope you are all okay!!

Meme-hope everything went ok-I really don't know the answers. I sure know you pray.Hope Queenie is ok.
Well-we have 2 sets of people wanting to rent the upstairs. Our neighbor called and said her sister was wanting it-we let her take her in-and then we called the original lady and she's psyched for May 1. That gives us 2 weeks to move downstairs, and Brad needs to put in different heat-
I will not carry boxes.
I get my stitches out this afternoon. It sure looks ugly.
Going to Golden Corral before church. I need to be careful. Bye Mima
Where do you live, Beth, I am in Ft Myers Fl and Westminster. MA

Mima I am in East Tenn. About 30 miles east of Knoxville.
dont' blame ya on not carrying boxes. I wouldn't carry any either, but then I always say that then I do it and end up paying for it later.

My neck and back is still so stiff. i think it was a combination of sinus headache, migraine and planting trees. I said I wasn't going to do much but I couldn't help myself and jumped right in. Of course DH didn't stop me just let me do what I wanted to. Now I am paying for it. I never learn .
