This thread was started before the dawn of time by Amazons who needed to compare their stats with other Amazons. Over time it grew into a community of incredible women who try to keep their spirits in the clouds and their feet on the ground, moving toward health. Most of us start at 5'7" and go up from there, from young singles to wise and lively elders of the tribe. We welcome newcomers who are willing to be kind and share a bit of their lives.

Okay, maybe not so flashy, but I got your attention, didn't I? ??
Hee hee.
Thanks for the thoughts on DDad. They checked him in, are getting him hydrated, and getting him some new nausea meds. One day and one pill at a time, apparently. I have learned through all of this that my DBro is not always a reliable narrator. He will project his worries and concerns on the situation when he talks to me, instead of just reporting. I got the real skinny on the situation when I talked to DMom. So, there you go. Better to go to the source.
I went to the doctor for my med follow up, etc....I decided to do allergy testing (again!) and do the allergy shots. I just can't live like this any more. The reason I am willing to try the allergy shots again is because you can do them yourself, at home. I'm not wild about the idea of giving myself a shot, but it will get better over time, and it is better than going to the damn doctor's office every time. So, there. More to come.
Shari, good luck at the colonoscopy. May everything come out okay, as it were. Count down to the big move, yes??
Colleen, so sorry to hear about the lease. Is it a year or 6 months? I would think that 6 months would be tolerable, one year not so much. I hate to say it, but what about subletting, if the penalty is too high for breaking? Maybe your nobby neighbors have some buds that want to move in.
Frieda, I hope you have some good Mother's Day plans. Some pampering?
Linda, goodness. Sick and all sorts of grands everywhere! I hope you get better quick. Sick sucks. Can you get some more order to the chaos? Start drawing boundaries, if that is the issue?
Alrighty, ladies, I gotta go, but know I am thinking of all of you: Melinda, Andrea, Martha, T, PKate, Mrskate, Angela, Nancy (where are you?), Karla, Susan, Anne, Tina, Liz, and all of our others......Be present! Hugs!!!

Hi All.
MCAT, sorry to heard DDAd was admitted, but sounds like he will be in good hands (and that he is a handful!).
I'm running through. Posting for accountability. Pressure is self-imposed to perform at a high level, so I better get some caffeine to handle it!
Happy Mothers/Grandmothers/Aunt-Mothers/4-legged mothers/Non-Mothers day to all.

Hello long and lovelies! I've been lurking in the background, trying to catch up. But still woefully out of touch.
MCat, sorry to hear about you DDad. Here's hoping you get a resolution soon.
Linda, yes, my hummingbird feeder is up already.
Colleen, sorry for the apartment woes.
Shari, I am hoping for a negative result on the scope.
Martha, have fun with DMom and DFam!
DSO and I leave Sunday for a much needed cruise! I am super excited.
On another note, as you know I lost my DBil 2 months ago and my DSis is just not handling it very well. She called last night just in hysterical tears. I honestly don't know what to say to her. She refuses any counseling or group therapy. I can't even bring it up, she just snaps. Anyway, needless to say, after the call I broke down.
Gotta get back to work. Waving to all the Cats out there.
Angela

Angela, first off, have a great time on your cruise! You deserve some rest and relaxation! You must feel and look awesome since you've lost weight! Any pretty new tops to wear? I love a dressy top with white jeans and heels. RE: your sister in law. It's ok to have a heart to heart with her. Tell her you care, and that it seems she might need some outside help. i.e., go to a grief counselor, a church often has grief classes. Maybe if you were to go one step further and do the homework for her. Here is the name and number of a grief counselor I found. Call her. Or St Marks has a group therapy session on Thursday nights, go there. My guess is what we consider an every day thing, is probably tough for her. Is she in town? If she is, what about inviting her to lunch? It will give her a place to go and something to look forward to.
I'm waiting for a big phone call. I'll BBL.
