Yes, Ronski, I know. I'm banking on this being one such ocassion.

18319. judithathome - 1/25/2006 3:09:00 AM

And please forgive my lack of manners...thank you so much for your post. It means a lot to me.

I'm just a tad frazzled.

Any word yet, Judith? Do you know specifically what they did today?

18321. judithathome - 1/25/2006 7:08:55 AM

Well, he found out this doctor, who he has yet to see, is an oncologist/hematologist and that it may simply be a matter of his blood count being "off" due to a course of strong antibiotics and his recent bout with pneumonia. Evidently the people that did his blood work today didn't seem too concerned so I'm thinking it was just a weird reading on his initial tests from last week.

Would have been nice if they had told him this stuff when they first contacted him....but he said the lab tech was really cute and single. ;-)

18322. arkymalarky - 1/25/2006 7:13:17 AM

Good deal. Hope things continue to go well on all fronts! ;-)

I just got home from class about an hour ago, so I guess I'm headed for bed. I don't know what I've gotten myself into, but I'm along for the ride now. Not that it's going to be hard, but it's going to be unbelievably time consuming. If I weren't dealing with such a full work schedule, these are the two classes I'm most looking forward to in this program. As it is, it's going to take everything I've got just to stay afloat.

See y'all after my other class tomorrow night.

A California Valley Girl joke I ran across:

A California Valley Girl was shopping at a Target Store and came across a silver thermos. She was quite fascinated by it, so she picked it up and brought it over to the clerk to ask what it was. The clerk said, "That's a thermos . . . it keeps some things hot and some things cold" "Wow, said the California Valley Girl, "that's amazing. I'm going to buy it!" So she bought the thermos and took it to work the next day. Her boss saw it on her desk.

"What do you have there?" he asked. "Why, that's a thermos . . . it keeps hot things hot and cold things cold," she replied. Her boss inquired, "What do you have in it?" The blond replied, "Two Popsicles and some coffee".

Another one:

Two California Valley Girls living in Oklahoma were sitting on a bench talking ........and one California Valley Girl says to the other, "Which do you think is farther away..........Florida or the moon?"

The other California Valley Girl turns and says "Helloooooooooo, can you see Florida...?????"

Another joke:

As a senior citizen was driving down the freeway, his car phone rang.
Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him, "Herman, I just
heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on Interstate 77.
Please be careful!"
"Wow!" said Herman, "It's not just one car. It's hundreds of them!"

18326. RickNelson - 1/25/2006 3:07:40 PM

The thermos joke was excellent.

Herman is the kind that irks me, and I believe some elderly are very close to his mistake on a daily basis.

I'm very concerned about elder drivers.

18327. RickNelson - 1/25/2006 3:08:47 PM

judith,

Your's is good news, and I hope its all good luck, and he gets to date that lab tech.

18329. thoughtful - 1/25/2006 7:16:54 PM

thanks for the chuckles...helped cheer me up. Hubby has the flu...got it this am and when he's out of sorts, so am i...comes with 28 years of marriage, I guess.

18330. wonkers2 - 1/25/2006 7:20:33 PM

Are there non-California Valley girls?

18331. thoughtful - 1/25/2006 7:50:00 PM

Like duhhh.
Always like identifiable by y'know bleached blond hair?
Like ditzy demeanor?
And like can't, y'know like make a statement without like ending it in a question?

18332. wonkers2 - 1/25/2006 8:08:09 PM

Ha!

18333. arkymalarky - 1/26/2006 5:02:11 AM

Hellloooooo!

Funny jokes, Con'd!

18334. arkymalarky - 1/26/2006 5:03:55 AM

Hope your hubby gets better fast, Thoughtful. I had my flu shot this year, even though it was $15. Good thing I guess, since the professor of tonight's class is just getting over the flu and he borrowed my book.

18335. Magoseph - 1/26/2006 12:03:34 PM

Hello, Mac—can you tell me if it’s true that the American Army has released 419 prisoners, including 5 women, please?

18336. Magoseph - 1/26/2006 1:07:46 PM

Never mind, Mac--the news just came out.

18337. Magoseph - 1/27/2006 12:02:53 PM

I never realized until Judith told me about it that there’s an option on the Merriam Webster Dictionary site that permits one to hear the pronunciation of words. After all the years I spent in this country, I still can’t pronounce many words correctly, but now I’m working on them and in the process driving Flex up the wall.

18338. judithathome - 1/27/2006 11:16:44 PM

Magos, glad to be of assistance!

Had blood drawn today and this is the first time I've had no bruising! The lab tech was a wizard!
