One Step at a Time - January 2016

[Rusty]

Heds-I've done a lot of research on Baclofen and I appreciate the link in case Lizann wants to dig further into Baclofen's usage, dosage, etc. Stick with us. We love having you here.

Fenny- you brought up my client's colleague whom she suspected was drinking on the job. She had reason to believe that because he CONSTANTLY goes to her for help with things, but can NEVER remember what she told him, and then he comes back and asks the SAME questions time after time. Do you remember how when you were drunk and you would have a conversation with someone and not remember at all what you talked about in the conversation....this is what she was saying about this guy...not to mention that she can smell the booze on him.

Bac – what were you up to this weekend? Breaking Bad is really great but I've been in the mood for comedy. I think Parks & Recreation is funny. I liked 30 Rock but done with that. We had been watching Orange is the New Black but some of it is pretty graphic when my 88 year old Mom is in here. She can't hear it but she can see it. :rotlf: I can't wait for the next season of Grace & Frankie to come out.

Hi Nora

I have watched some of Orange - It is good, i will look at the others but TBH, I dont get much chance with Job kids and dare I say it, wife

We both took the kids to Hatfield Forest with a friend and her kids - They built a Bear Grylls den out of branches off of fallen trees - Way lovely to see them working as a team - They are all under 10 and the youngest 5 - Nice

Keep up the good work on this thread guys

Regards


Bacman

Rusty, thanks for filling me in. I did find info on the Internet last night and did a lot of reading about Bac. Not sure it's something I would do, but I appreciate the info. Keeping it on the back burner for now. I will PM you my email if that's ok. Have a good week in Atlanta. No wonder you advised Mark against taking that job for Ford. I appreciate your wisdom, more than you know. Thank you!
Hedz and Bac, hang out with us. I personally think we've got a pretty good thing going here on this thread!
Mama, I loved your post this morning on FB. Hubby had to come see why I was laughing so much.
So CJ tried to FaceTime me this morning but I can't remember my password:cuss: I miss my baby girl! I will have Mark help me when he wakes up and hopefully we can FaceTime with her later today. Off to do some food shopping. I am hoping to put up my valentines day decorations today:love: we celebrate that in a big way because it's CJs birthday!
So I spoke to Erin on the phone yesterday for a long time. Her and Dan are talking about starting a family! Not sure when, but they are talking! She is nervous about being a mom, but I know she will be great at it. Anyway she got me so excited I couldn't sleep last night.
Pauly, fen, you guys ok? Anyone here from Dottie? I'm thinking no news is good news.
Nora how are the wedding plans coming. I sure hope you will share some pictures with us.
Happy Monday my loves!

Hi Everybody, I am back for a bit. I figured out why my PMs looked like this all of a sudden: I had to go to View on my Toolbar and click on Full Screen and it fixed the problem. So...no more PMs that look like this:

Hahaha! Now I really do have to go!

Liz, Bac isn't for everyone...you seem to be doing well on your own two feet. How exciting that Erin wants to start a family.

Rusty you are computer guru. I am terrible with IT but try to learn so I can keep up with my job. Also, thank you for your comments about Grant. As usual, you are absolutely right.
Lizz- glad I gave you a giggle!!
Drama filled Monday at work. I'll try post some about it later, but it does not involve me. I have basically walked into a hornet's nest of gossip. I talked to my amazing boss this morning and he said he had not told me (it involves the corp. maint. person I work with) as he wanted my take on things. Thankfully, we agreed completely, so there may be some changes coming. NOT bad for me for a happy change!!
Gotta get in traffic and remember to pick up some potatoes on the way home!

[Lizann]

Mama, sorry about the hornets nest at work. I'm glad you're not part of it! Potatoes, what's for dinner?
Rusty, you made me laugh with the PMs. I'm not computer savy either. Mark is our tech guru. The more you depend on someone the less your really do learn about the computer.
So the latest around here, a major snowstorm is expected here on Saturday. Of course that's when CJ is flying home! UGH! Hoping it won't happen. We have had a pretty easy winter so far.
Nora and fen, I hope you're doing ok!

[fennel]

Liz, I was, going to ask if your folks were ethnically German or Polish, but I got my answer. Things got "re-jiggered" after WW1, as you and your folks know. I'm so sorry they went through what they did.

Nora, I can't believe you don't remember "Diablo Stole My Shoes", LOL! It was hysterical!

I really can't get B and A out on the weekends. They are very sedentary. I will have to bite the bullet and get to one of those meet-ups that I signed up for. I really long for one other person to hike with, but I guess it's 20 to 100 or nothing. Maybe I could post an ad in craigslist, but that can get kind of dangerous.

It was so cold here, the schools were closed. I can't believe what pansies Wisconsinites have become! When I was a kid, we never closed the schools due to cold. At any rate, I showed up to work, unlike some of my co-workers.

My youngest sister is coming up tomorrow to take my mom to visit an assisted living place. It's bittersweet, because I know the only reason this is happening is because I am working full time for the last two weeks. It's become painfully obvious to my mom that she can't stay in her home without my help...and I so wish I could keep on helping her on a daily basis, but due to the divorce, I simply cannot. I guess I should be happy that my mom was able to enjoy her home as long as she did because I was there for her...but this all feels like such a failure. I failed at my marriage and at caring for my mom. : (


I picked up my paycheck today, and it was pretty impressive for only 3 1/2 days. I will deposit it tomorrow.

[fennel]

Oh, mama...I hate gossip and I refuse to get involved with it. I'm so sorry your work place is like that.

[fennel]

Liz, I hope CJ will get in okay on Saturday...winter can really be a pain!

[Lizann]

Aww fen, that must be so hard for you. But it is nice to get that paycheck. Would you're mom be close by you or your sister? Never an easy decision, I understand. Is it an option for you to move in with her? At least you'd be there some of the time.
Pauly, just wondering if you're ok?

[NoraC]

Sorry for the late post. I'm on my kindle so it's going to be short. I have a tendency to lose entire posts.

Fen - I was at work today and thought of my mom......which made me think of you and your mom. I was planning on posting tonight and asking you about her...then I saw your post. I am so sorry. I know this is so hard on you and her.

[NoraC]

Almost lost that one but hit post in time. I know there's an auto save but the last couple of times I messed that up. Ha, ha

Liz - how exciting that baby talk has begun. Praying for a good weather and a safe flight for CJ.

Rusty - you made me laugh right out loud with your

Mama - sorry about the crap at work. I hope that can be dealt with immediately.

Pauly - I read your post about your breakfast and the calories. Made me laugh. I'll drop back in over there and say hi.

Bac - what season are you on for BB?

[fennel]

Liz, I love my mom, but I'd lose my mind if I lived with her, LOL. She will be right here in town with me.

Pauly, where are you?

[mama bear]

Skwerly Butt- you are NOT a failure....NOT AT ALL......do you hear me????
Is El Diablo the boss with flip flops?
I am pulling a Nora......so I have to run

[paulywogg]
