Corona, blahh!! It's like Budweiser, if I wanted to drink fizzy horse wiz I'd just find a carbonated horse.

I don't do it all the time when I drink Dos Equis, but typically when we go to the Mexican restaurant I'll order one and they'll have a lime on the mug, I'll just drop it in there.

There's another beer I like, Blue Moon, it's normally served with an orange slice.


I think I found the horse you mean. His name is Carbon Copy.

Yes and my browser is Verizon.That's where I got my anti-spyware, anti-virus, etc, from.

No. I didn't have any film in my camera.

I don't know about the Verizon thing. But after my laptop went goofy the other day I read a lot of things on the evils of Vista. I ran my recovery disk and I'm still having issues. I think I may try to find someone with a copy of XP and be done with this Vista demon.

I think I may try to find someone with a copy of XP and be done with this Vista demon.I have Vista on my laptop and would love to have XP. The trouble is that they've done something to the Vista computers, making them both very difficult and expensive to convert to XP.

[vir doctus]

How did your day go?

Don't know what to think about it yet. :think:

[Meriweather]

A lot going on? Or, is it a matter of waiting for the other shoe to drop?

[terri910]

Hubby and I were home from work together, doing a coughing duet.

[Hadassah]

Hubby and I were home from work together, doing a coughing duet.

You guys have a good rhythm going on?

Not really.

Who is making whom chicken soup?

[terri910]

Who is making whom chicken soup?
Let's set this scene. Hubby has just started with the sore throat and stuffy nose; I have felt bad enough to miss 4 days of work and gone to the doctor, and told everyone that I am weak and shakey and woozy.

Of course, I am doing the cooking. The big giveaway was the word "Hubby".....

[vir doctus]

Seems the FAS diagnosis scares some treatment centers. Now, add a firm Reactive Attachment Disorder (a combination that some experts say is the worst imaginable combination), and we may be hard pressed to place our Ruskie in a decent facility.

Frustrating.

Yes, that's improved. I had orange juice at breakfast and it tasted sweet. That was nice.

Hello, blazer....

[Meriweather]

All right then. When the cough goes away and you do start feeling better, be sure not to over do. I did not have the cough part, and in my case there was nothing I could do to get out of the "over do" part, but it set me back a couple of weeks. Be as easy on yourself as possible. This thing has a tough grip.

Well, you get no argument from me. I was knocked for a loop when I got so much worse over the weekend.

I'm sure I'll be back at work tomorrow, but testing the waters. If I feel like it is too much, I'll just leave.

But I do feel stronger this afternoon than I did.

I can't take my cough syrup AND drive to work, though. That stuff puts me out!

[terri910]

Morning Devotional


Know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (John 8:32)


Debunking Marriage Myths (2)
Marriage myth 2: The myth of the "right person," suggests happiness in marriage depends entirely on finding the right person. It's said to be a matter of luck, Cupid, the alignment of the stars, the moon hitting your eye like a big pizza pie, etc., occasionally even God. Just find the right person and they'll make your life supremely happy, romantic, excited, fulfilled, blissful. They will become, as the song says, "that old black magic" that holds you in its spell, leading you into the enchanted land of endless love. It's all up to them. And nothing ever felt more convincingly real or right! Despite the advice of friends and family, we'll "give away the farm" and turn ourselves inside out to keep this addictive, magic happening. When it stops (and it does), three things happen:

(1) We cry, manipulate, bribe, and later blame, vilify and consider them phonies for changing on us and making us miserable. "He's not the man I married," we complain. He may not be the person you expected him to be (that person doesn't exist outside your myth) but he is the one you married and the problem isn't all his.

(2) We label him "the wrong person" and either search for the right one or give up on the opposite sex as being false, faithless and fickle.

(3) We learn the truth: there is no right person to make us happy always. At that point we're set free to find happiness by becoming the right person, the one God created us to be, giving generously, allowing others to be real, limited, changeable humans, and looking to God for our joy!

I have a question for the nurses about my wrist burn. It blistered; skin is starting to pull away a bit and it's seeping, perhaps a tiny bit infected. My idea of first aid is keep it clean and leave it alone. Is leaving it open to the air, fine, or should I cover it to give it a bit more protection from having more skin rubbing off?

Is it a big burn? What's going on that you think it's infected?

Since you think it's infected, I'd see the doctor asap. In the meantime:
Wash it gently with soap and water and put antibiotic ointment on it. Cover it with a non-stick dressing and either wrap gauze around it, or hold the dressing in place with tape. You can leave the dressing off during the day if you wish, but you are very busy during the day, with teaching, and the house, and the yard........I'd suggest keeping the dressing on during the day, too. That way, if it's not infected, it won't get infected. Change the dressing every day. (And, of course, wash your hands before changing the dressing) :)

It's a very small burn--about one inch square. Only one of the five blisters rubbed away today, and by the time I noticed it again it was sore, seeping, and redness was spreading from it under adjacent healthy skin. I did wash it then, and I think it's looking a little bit better tonight--it's not nearly as puffy--and the pain is a little less, too.

Antibiotic ointment? I'll look for some tomorrow.

Thanks, Hadassah.

i'd have to see it. e-mail me a pic of it (no need to gross peeps out here). you can try cleaning it, putting some anti-biotic ointment on it and leaving it open, or use some ointment and a sterile dressing. i don't know how big it is......that matters too.

This just brings back memories of once when one of my now deceased Dad's big toes somehow became infected. Fortunately, the infection was caught in time and it was dressed in time; else, his foot would have had to be amputated. And yes, my Dad was quite a fragile diabetic.

It was a partial amputation. Enough to make balance and walking more difficult but not impossible. And golf unbearably frustrating, apparently.

This just brings back memories of once when one of my now deceased Dad's big toes somehow became infected. Fortunately, the infection was caught in time and it was dressed in time; else, his foot would have had to be amputated. And yes, my Dad was quite a fragile diabetic.

I see RayMan wanted me to post a quote directed at him. This is by Barbara Walters:


If it's a woman it's too pushy; if it's a man it's aggressive in the best sense of the word.”

I have heard a somewhat earthier version of that but it wouldn't fly here in the RF.

One of the teacher's from my mom's school was nominated for Alabama Teacher of the Year...my mom is the Principal of the shcool...pretty big deal...I went to high school with Shannon, she's a couple of years older than me...the awards banquet is on PBS now...hope she wins...I'm a dork, I'm sitting here looking for my mom on the tv now. :lol:

Morning Devotional


Know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (John 8:32)


Debunking marriage myths (3)

Marriage myth 3: The myth of "the full box," suggests that when we marry we inherit a big box filled with self-replacing good things, guaranteeing effortless unending marital bliss. This box is supposed to contain romance, physical fulfillment, generosity, true love, and being served "in the style to which we've become accustomed."

Ideally, we can dip in and take what we want from a never-depleted supply. Instant, low-maintenance satisfaction guaranteed! And it seems to work initially, so we believe the myth. Till one rainy day we dip into the box and come up empty. At that point we feel shock, disappointment, anger, despair and hopelessness and conclude that our partner failed, fooled or forsook us. Why else would the box be empty? At that point the myth suggests, "It's time to find another box!" Or you could listen to the liberating truth:

(a) Marriage is a big box, an empty one. Your job is to make enough deposits to guarantee sufficient withdrawals for a rich relationship. Jesus said: "The amount you give will determine the amount you get back" (Lk 6:38).

(b) You must start by asking, "What would I like to have in the box? Then you deposit that into the box. Then you ask, "How much of it do I want in the box? Then you deposit enough to generate that amount. You see, the box is only a container; it didn't fail and you didn't get a bad box. You are the owner of the box, not its victim.

Accepting this truth frees you to make your marriage rich and rewarding by becoming a giver, not just a taker.

A little Flexeril for the pain in my back, a little Ambien at night - it does wonders. Unfortunately it seems that just as soon as I've sunk into a good sleep I get a phone call, or the doctor comes in to check on me, or the nurse comes in to give me meds or to monitor me.

Technically I'm not still in the hospital, I'm back in the hospital. I went home for three weeks, but I've been back for three and a half weeks. Don't be jealous.

Don't let me scare you. My second was a special case. Until she was old enough to move around on her own and tire herself out, she could go twenty-seven hours without sleep, sleep two, and then be good for the next twenty-four.

Joke for Mimi:

A fire started on some grassland near a farm, the county fire department was called to put out the fire, the fire was more than the county FD could handle some one suggested a nearby volunteer bunch be called in, despite some doubt the volunteer guys could do it the call was placed

The volunteers arrived in a dilapidated old fire truck they rumble straight towards the fire drove right into the middle of the flames and stopped! The firemen jumped out and frantically sprayed water in all directions soon they had snuffed out the center of the fire breaking it into two easily controlled parts.

Watching all of this the farmer was so impressed with the volunteer bunch and so grateful they saved his land he hands them a check on the spot for 1,000 dollars. A local reporter asked the fire chief what he was gonna do with the money to which the chief replied "That ought to be obvious the first thing were gonna do is fix the brakes on our fire truck."

Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.

And puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.

Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
Without his life-long friend, puff could not be brave,
So puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave. oh!
