They have finaly decided it is a bronchial virus I have. I will end up with something all winter. Always this way if I get sick before Nov 9th. Oh well, such is life.

[ceejay52]

Rennie--Hi see your egglight aglow. Feel better soon. I'vefinally gotten the doctor talked into letting me have the allergy meds that I need all year round.
So far I haven't had any of the "bronchial stuff".

Mel- Give Jen a lot of motherly nurturing.

Shad--You'd diffinatley would not be happy here. I do most of the work, the boss get's most of the credit. It used to upset me but decided that if I can stay here 6 more years I can leave. It will take something a lot better than this for me to quit.

Hello to the rest of the gang.


Since 9-22-07 I've lost's 5 pound! I'm back down to 179. Yipee.

One of the bosses is here. I' need to close.

[Shy Moment]

Every time they give me shots for the allergies I get sick lol.

Afternoon...I woke with hearing loss in my left ear today. I went to Emerg instead of work...I have a hole in my left ear drum and both ears are infected. I have antibiotics. Bummer....

[happy2bme]

Ouch Holly - that's painful just reading about it. Rest up (yeah, like that will happen). Don't forget to eat some yogurt so the antibiotics don't cause other problems...

Congrats on the weightloss Ceejay did all that furniture moving have anything to do with it?

Bummer on the bronchial issues Rennie. Do you get a flu shot or are you always just slightly on the "something side of something" to be well enough to get one? I get my stabbing next week.

Thinking of you Mel. I'm sure you're playing momma hen to Jen. Hope she's feeling better.

Ruth - go in the kitchen, sit at the table and start chopping vegetables. This way you can chat with Donna and still each keep to your own work - then she has to come behind you and clean all those peelings and seeds

Next week at this time I will BE ON VACATION

I am trying very hard to catch up on all my work. So back to the desk I go.

[Shy Moment]

I do get the flu shot and had the phenomena shot a few years ago. It is funny. If I am not sick before Nov 9 I am not sick all winter. If I get sick before Nov 9 I am sick to one degree or another all winter.

Ceejay
Forgot to say way to go on the weight loss. Sorry.

Holly
Oh so sorry to hear that. My son gets really bad ear infections always has. I feel so bad for you. They are so painfull.

Melody
Hope she isn't hurt to bad. Won't insurance cover the cost of repairs and such.

[Hollyhock]

(((((Mel))))) ((((((Jen))))))

I called DH and he came home early to take DS to hockey. I made supper and now need to clean the kitchen. DD has homework and DS does too when he comes home.Both have piano theory homework.
I feel exhausted and my ears really hurt.

My prescription was $71.00 and I missed a days pay. sigh

Frankly, i could sit down and cry.

What I need to do is put in a load of wash and clean the darn kitchen.

[Shy Moment]

Holly
Am so sorry. Sit down and let DH and DS and DD make dinner when everyone gets home.

SHAD CANNOT GET HERE DUE TO THE OFFICE COMPUTER SAYING THIS SITE IS PORNOGRAPHIC SO HERE IS HER POST:
It seems that the porn site Fat Chicks must be active again. I haven't had problems like this for a while. But we are now lumped together again as far as the Woodside netnanny program is concerned. So for the time being I can't find out what the chicks are up to.
I did get to read Ruthxxx's post through my e-mail notification from 3fatchicks and I think it is a cool idea for Lucy to give her name to a Foundation for Vets for Pets. There are so many suffering animals out there and whose owners may love them but can't afford vets bills. Aids sufferers not withstanding. The Blue Lead Brigade!!!! (Lucy had a blue lead as opposed to Hersheys red one!)

Mel, wish I had a $1m that I could just whisk you and Jen away to some clean air and less despair. But alas, the oldest son borrowed the savings yesterday for a deposit in case his bid for a house was accepted. It wasn't but that's another story. I guess the money will come back later this week.

It's cool, grey and overcast here in Perth. I'm told I won't be able to stand the heat when it does arrive. This I wait to see. Still being used as a political football, however I've just punted back a reply which will not please the natives, but I'm not about to get pushed around anymore. I've been there, done that and there is nothing more stubborn than a Taurean Bull (born in the Chinese year of the Ox) who has a mindset and doesn't want to deviate. That's the way I will survive this project. I really feel more relaxed today.

On the question of being pushed and pulled every which way - can someone tell me why when I suggest it might be time to think of a new car, I have people (mostly male)coming out of the woodwork and telling me what I should get and why I give up the thought of the brand and type I was thinking of because it could not possibly be good for me. Everyone has an agenda it seems.

Okay - thats it. I'm off to harass the masses and get something done today - they are making more progress on the building over the road than I am on this project!!! have a fun day everyone.

Oh man - I was wondering if she made a typo and went to FatChicks by accident. Actually I've gotten chastisted by the security at work innocently reading a news article on Yahoo where it didn't like one of the words in the article's title.

Thanks for keeping us in the loop Mel.

[Hollyhock]

How's Jen today?

I am still completely deaf in my left ear.
Skipped my meeting this morning. Work 12-8. Should be interesting with the radio on and high dryers going.

Need to get the kids up and moving.

[happy2bme]

'morning chicks,

Getting cooler and darker in the morning which brings out the mattress monster hugging me in it's grip

Why do people offer so many ideas on cars she asks? guess we all have our favorites. We've been Toyota fans since 1980. Never had a problem with any of our Toyotas yet we did have lots of service issues with our Chevy and Ford. Will never, EVER buy Ford again. Don't know about across the pond, but here it comes down to the service you get. None of the cars we had were built badly - except perhaps for the Pontiac Grand Prix that DH wanted which was in the shop 36 times in 18 months. The deciding factor comes in on servicing the car - can they fix the things that need doing and in a timely and cost effective manner? Sad to say, our experiences with American made cars it's a big honking However, if you have been happy with a certain brand, why not stick with it? Actually I'm surprised to hear you considering a car again. Didn't you get one just a few years back? Would think it would almost be smacking brand new since you're hardly home to drive it any more?

Nothing much going on in my neck of the woods today. Have to train my replacement on my old job this morning on some troubleshooting that I too care of yesterday. Then it's back to getting those reports out because after all, I AM going on vacation next week and I need some time to plan out of few things for that too.

Sieze the day ladies...

[MELODY525]
