26205. iiibbb - 12/6/2010 7:45:06 PM Given the new infection, the decision is less agonizing than it was last week. 26206. judithathome - 12/6/2010 9:23:16 PM I've hesitated to comment about your wife's upcoming biopsies because I know you and she are worried about that, too, but I've had several and they all came to nothing...I wouldn't want to suggest the labs may be doing so many of those unnecessarily for more claims because a needle biopsy can save a life. However, several things can cause lumps in the breast...like excessive caffiene intake. More than likely, the lumps are benign fibroadenomas.
I hope everything works out for you all...please keep in touch and let us know how her tests come out. 26207. iiibbb - 12/7/2010 10:22:55 PM Boy's thing went off without a problem. My wife and I annoy Dr's a little bit because we ask too many challenging questions... but we've learned you have to. The anesthesiologist didn't have great bedside manner. 26208. seadate - 12/8/2010 1:29:23 PM Hello Judith and Arky - and 3ib and Rick -
Judith: cloudysail@hotmail.com - I hope you've made the adjustment to your new machine ... and say hello to Keoni for me, pls.
Arky ... that was fun. Glad you're carrying on the annual event.
26209. arkymalarky - 12/8/2010 5:25:03 PM It developed a life of its own, which we really look forward to every year. 26210. RickNelson - 12/8/2010 8:29:48 PM iiibbb,
Good. To everything you posted.
Hi seadate. 26211. judithathome - 12/12/2010 12:42:25 AM Arky...are you going to get bad weather this weekend? We're expecting very cold temps.... 26212. arkymalarky - 12/12/2010 2:48:49 AM Hey Judith! The last I heard it was supposed to be very cold but clear. 26213. judithathome - 12/17/2010 10:05:06 PM My son left a huge parcel of land up in Missouri to his daughter and son-in-law. They finally went up there last week to check it out...it's mainly used for timber but also for hunting.
While they were looking over the property, a man on a tractor came by and introduced himself and made an offer on part of the land that abuts his property...they talked for a bit and he said "You two should think about moving here...it's a nice little town and the people are friendly". This is property that had belonged to my father...it's outside the town where he and my mom grew up.
There have been incidents of timber poaching on this land...black walnut, mostly. So Chris, my SIL, decided to put up "no trespassing" signs along the fences to at least show the property is "owned" by someone. While he was doing that, a man across the road came out on his porch and shot at him! Above his head but still...
Needless to say, the kids have no plans to move to this "friendly" little berg.
26214. PsychProf - 12/23/2010 5:12:12 PM Best to all, however you celebrate this time of the year. Time needs to slow down for me...snow will greet my smile in the mountains later today. The four wheel drive sleigh is packed with goodies, and my guys will all be together for a few “daze”. We will get the skates sharpened, shovel, and get at it.
26215. Ulgine Barrows - 12/24/2010 9:57:45 AM Merry Christmas, Moties.
The future is bright and so are the holiday lights.
Good cheer all around! 26216. arkymalarky - 12/25/2010 2:56:46 AM Happy Holidays to Psych Prof and Ulgine and all my Mote family! 26217. wabbit - 12/25/2010 7:27:38 PM Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and best wishes for everyone to have a happy, healthy and prosperous 2011! 26218. alistairconnor - 12/26/2010 2:05:20 PM Joyeux Putain de Noël monsieur Musulman!
Joyeux Putain de Noël monsieur Hindou!
... and to all of you too!
(perversely, South Park dubbed into French is even funnier.)
26219. wabbit - 12/26/2010 10:54:07 PM I've been passing that song around for ages, hysterical!
So here I sit, watching the Patriots beat up on the Bills, hoping we don't lose power sometime later tonight. It's been snowing since 9am and is coming down a bit harder now, if you can call it that. Maybe 3" so far, but expecting lots more overnight, 2-4" per hour for at least three hours and 35mph sustained winds - hence, a blizzard, a classic nor'easter. We're expecting at least 12" and perhaps as much as 24" in some spots. Here, south of Boston but far enough north of the Cape, we're in the deep snow zone. Hell yeah! As long as you don't have to drive anywhere and don't lose power, it's quite lovely. I'll do round one of shoveling tonight, then a round or two more tomorrow. It may snow until late afternoon on Monday.
The folks are in the FL Keys visiting my sister, so I have the place to myself, me and the cats. Joy! 26220. arkymalarky - 12/27/2010 5:40:59 AM Oooh, sounds wonderful! I've had the house to myself all day, trying to catch up on work. I enjoy working when no one's around. Bob and Angela and her Hmong-American friend from Bob's old school are due in from Hot Springs any minute tho. 26221. judithathome - 12/27/2010 5:46:39 PM Arky, I'm sure that will make Bob's holidays happy ones!
We're in the midst of cleaning for the big party on Saturday...I'm already at the "screw it" stage on most of the dust. 26222. arkymalarky - 12/27/2010 6:48:23 PM Can't wait until we can make one of those! 26223. arkymalarky - 12/31/2010 12:09:33 AM 3I, any updatre? Concerned that you haven't popped in lately. 26224. judithathome - 12/31/2010 3:15:24 PM I haven't been posting much, here or anywhere...not in the best of moods and trying to keep my mind off things. I also hate coming in here and seeing my name as last post for weeks at a time...ha!
The other morning, the day after I'd stuffed the fridge with party food, the electricity went out and the repair line said it would be back on at TEN PM...this was at 7am! I had visions of rotting veggies and shrimp filling my head but luckily, they were off in the estimation by about eleven hours. Yesterday I finished the shopping except for the sushi we have to pick up at 4pm today. Thus far, my fridge and freezer are stuffed, my neighbor's freezer, and her "second" fridge out her garage.
If no one shows up, we can eat for a month or two.
Anyhpw, hope all the Moties have Happy New Years...if you're down Texas way, drop in on Saturday...I can guarantee you'll not leave hungry!
