not in my neck of the woods....
They don't let anything interrupt Friday night football around here!
Not sure I've seen much in your neck of the woods
went to some sort of juvenile detention place when I was in college - may have camped close by with girl scouts - but since I have been here Morehead has become a major metropolitan area - should have seen it when I got here!
How's the weather in your neck of the woods?
Mid 70s here in the Northeast with bright warm sunshine! Woo Hoo ! It's a doozy of a day.
Minimum wage is $7.75 in this neck of the woods...nm

Today for Orlando, FL.
Orlando!! Here we come!
WE have booked our vacation!! We are taking our girls (7 and 3) to Orlando. We plan on doing Disney World, Universal Studios and Sea World. Any recommendations for any of these? Disney world has Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, MGM and Epcot. We are thinking about just doing Magic Kingdom for 2 days. has anyone been to the others and feel it is appropriate for the girls age? Anything else fun anyone has done in Orlando? Thanks!!!!
LOL! That is too funny! We did the same thing in Orlando
My husband and I went to Orlando a few years ago and stopped a travel information center to look for good places to stay. The rep there set us up with a 5-star timeshare resort for less than $300 for a whole week, and we got discounted tickets to Seaworld, Universal Studios, and Animal Kingdom. The timeshare was REALLY nice with HUGE rooms with a jacuzzi, a deck overlooking one of their many pools, and it was right on a lake. We had to do time timeshare tour one of our days there, and it was awful! The sales woman was so incredibly pushy and wouldn't let us leave at the time the thing was supposed to be over! She even made us late for Seaworld! Ugh!
Got it, very strange- what about the lakes in Orlando
with the amoebas that have killed 2-3 kids when they went swimming and 3 in Texas this summer. Just heard on CNN. Posters went up, lots not paying heed. Authorities say these are always there but when water gets 80 or above tends to bring them up from the mulk on the bottom. Symptoms are like meningitis and within a few days the people have died. Always something new and scary. I am moving to Canada- my daughter visited there and said the news not directed to scare like here in the US.
No MRI yet and we haven't been in the woods
She got a few mosquito bites this summer but no ticks. There has been no bullseye rash or anything like that.
What were the Lyme symptoms in your 4-year-old?
I miss the woods.
I haven't been able to get out in the wilderness for a while. I'd love to get my backpack together and take a week-long hike. I feel so strong and capable and ready to get things done when I come back.
Orlando is near middle of state and no beaches close, so

I like ol' No Neck. She is my fav! nm

You could be a red-neck if,,,,,,

Ck out the flooring stores/depts. Laminate made to look like all kinds of exotic woods, stone,

But did you not notice, the neck issue
was resolved because the show had fixed her hair in a more becoming manner than did not expose her neck like when she first came on. I noticed the same thing at first but then here at tne end, not sticking out like a sore thumb.
You might have something pinched in your neck or thoracic spine. nm

For sore neck & shoulders I swear by - sm
Flexall Extra-Strength. (Used to be 'Flexall 454'). Has a menthol/linament kind of smell (which I like), but who cares - it works like a charm for me on those tight, stressed-out muscles. Not only when working, but when going to bed at night, too. Cat hates it, but too bad. I LOVE it.
Also helpful was buying an adjustable, keyboard try that attaches under the desk. By typing with the keyboard basically in my lap, it opens the angles of my elbows (pain in those is from bone spurs, when elbow is flexed to 90 degrees or more). Also, having the keyboard low, with very nice soft, cushy wrist-rest, takes the load off my shoulders from trying to hold my hands higher.
I change chair height frequently during the day, also get up and move around. I make sure to get out and exercise (jog, walk, bike, skate, go to gym, etc.) once a day, too. Got a chair that is adjustable 5 ways: seat tilt, seat height, back height, back tilt, and lumbar support. Keeping the room warm helps, too. When thumb & wrist arthritis flares up, I take aspirin & wear typing gloves to keep hands warm.
Last, but not least, I keep knee chondromalacia at bay with Osteo Bi-Flex (glucosamine & chondroitin) daily.
On your neck, could be skin tags instead of moles
I would never bother moles but have had skin tags removed. They are the little fleshy protuberances that appear, especially around your neck. I had some clipped at the dermatologist's office and clipped 1 at my home with small scissors but the one I did at home was sorta painful. As you age they start showing up and they do return.
make a 'garlic-necklace' and put it around your cat's neck!
Works 100%, but difficult to accomplish! Cat might resent vigorously. Maybe you could mix some garlic into her food?
my neck was my motivator to lose weight this year
I had already had a tummy tuck with lip and did not want to go through surgery again so I got down to 104 and finally lost the double chin. Yes I said 104 but i am also 4' 11"
You might be compressing a nerve in your spine or neck. Get up often. Drink all day long. See your

Sounds like a reaction to the surgery. The lymph nodes in our neck sm
will "activate" whenever something foreign comes near the skull or head. My son developed very large lymph nodes around both sides of his neck and we didn't know what was going on. He ended up having the chicken pox and most of the lesions were on his scalp! He had a few throughout his body, but 60% on his head. So his doc explained to us that his lymph nodes in his neck were activated because of where the pox was traveling.
What do you think of the quality of clothing today. What I looked at shopping today in nice stores
the stuff wasnt even sewn properly. Do you have to look at everything you buy or just hope it lasts a year.
Added fresh chives today. to the egg today.
and a SMIDGE of soy sauce.
scarves - they all like scarves - neck, hair, etc...
How is she today?
nm
She seems better today
She seems better today, sort of. She hasn't eaten anything since 12 or so last night, but she didn't puke or have diarrhea that I've found anyway. I'm going to call the vet and see about doing some IV fluids if she won't drink something pretty soon. She's just all sunken in looking from dehydration.
She is a very high stress dog. She's trying to sit even closer to me than usual and even tried to get under my legs while I'm typing but I kept stepping on her. I'm hoping this isn't going to be a long term issue for her  Poor dog. I'm wondering if maybe this is a recurrent thing and she was so stressed by her prior unknown situation that is what caused part of her being so skinny when we first got her.
how are you today?
nm
From what I saw today, I do not think
Noah will make it. Does not look good. Not sure about Jack since he is trapped with the methane gas and it looks like he was injured too after getting Sharon and Nick out. What a story line. I guess some people want to leave or are being fired.
I have today off....
Just started FT with a new company last week. I don't get paid, but I don't care. I actually have a holiday off without having to use precious PTO, like at my old job at the Q. I'm doing laundry this morning and then having lunch at my sister's with whole family. Can't wait!
Today is my day off......
normally I try to catch up on cleaning, laundry, errands, etc. Spent 2 1/2 hours at the doc's office...DD has strep. Sigh! Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans.
It was on today. sm
Only a couple of mins on the Toys for Tots. Most of the program was devoted to the studio audience, victims of the fire in the Santa Monica Mountains. Lots of gifts. Only a few mins devoted to Toys for Tots, but the kids looked really happy. Merry Christmas to them.
So OP, how are you today?? Are you ok? nm

Now, maybe, maybe not...44 for me but today...
I feel like I am maybe 64? Been working since approximately 3 a.m. and still a couple of reports left to do before a close my eyes tonight. So, what did you do for your B-day....
Got ours today
I'm happy about it, but it's going to help pay off a credit card so I'm trying not to think of what I really wanted to do with it.
Sorry-- Not with it today-- been ill
Please forgive me. I've been fighting a bug all week. 
I saw it today
I thought it was absolutely the sweetest thing and it made me cry a little tear also. It was heartwarming.
What I am doing today
I had meant to buy my husband and my daughter some cheese and crackers (they are getting other things) and almost completely forgot so went to the store earlier this morning and got 2 of each. Straightened up in the house some as having company over tomorrow. I am going to fix a picnic ham but hubby wants to be here when I start that later on today (he does not trust me much in the kitchen- goody for me). Much of the day is pure leisure- no more shopping, just relaxing. Nothing special for later on tonight.
I took her to the vet today...sm
I wanted to make sure of what the problem was. I took her and he examined the leg and said that she sprained it. He said there was no serious problem in it. He said that with her weight, she is a beagle who weighs 40 pounds, that by jumping on the couch and bed she probably sprained it. She is pretty fat to be jumping around. I said well have you ever seen a beagle this fat and he said oh yes I have seen quite a few. He said she is spayed isn't she. I said yes and that is when she got so fat after spaying her. He said sometimes that happens. The medicine starts with a P but it is the same basically as Rimadyl. It is for pain/inflammation. He said give her one every other day for 2 weeks. She had been taking one every day. He said since she seems to be getting better change it to every other day and then in two weeks just stop giving it. She is back to her old self so I guess her fat butt sprained her knee jumping off the bed or couch. God love her.
my b-day today
Today was my b-day. 49 years old. I handle my b-days really well. As my grandma used to say one year closer to taking a nice long nap. HA HA. B-days don't really hit me, but sometimes I just feel like I'm falling apart. Losing hair, now have rosacea (at least I think its rosacea), and these whiteheads like I had when I was a teenager, and i've got one of those nice nasty yeast infections. Started taking Monostat and now I've got my period. Then I go to the eye doctor and he sits back and says - so tell me about your family history of eye diseases. First thing I think of oh, this doesn't sound good (dad has macular degeneration - he said right away I don't have that). Well I'm on the watch list for cataracts. He said I'm not old enough for that, but it's upper high pressure (or something like that). Oh and I've got some membrane dystrophy syndrome where at night time the membrane doesn't attach to where it is suppose to attach and causes me eye pains for about 10-15 minutes every morning. Oh isn't life grand! javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');
My ER report today -
CHIEF COMPLAINT: Difficulty pooping. 
Anyone else waddling today?
I feel like I have been soaked in turkey gravy, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, and pecan pie.  I glanced a rear view of myself in the mirror today and said WHOA, love handles!!  Today and yesterday we have all been grazing on all the great left-overs from Thursday.
Anyone else feel full and ready to go on a diet??
Go today. Right now. Go to ER and tell them about bite.

Who has snow today? sm
Big snowstorm here in Ohio! It's been snowing nonstop since early this morning and isn't going to stop anytime soon. My husband's job even cancelled today! We probably have 4 or 5 inches already.
None today but everyday is like
Valentines to me, no difference, love, smooches, sweet talk, hugs, kisses and just everything I need in my man.
Today, 55 is the new 35; and @ 55 I still live like a 25-yr-old.
Haha... maybe the doc is in his 20's and right out of med-school? Or else really old, from a time when 40 was considered ancient?
You're only as old as you act and feel. So that makes me physically 25, and mentally 16. ;p
What is better than getting you pay check today?
Getting your tax refund also. I am now making plans for my vacation trip this summer out west!! I am so excited. I will use a tour company as my dear hubby and daughter neither one want to travel with me. Oh well, their loss and Yellowstone, here I come!
Thanks everyone! I'm convinced! I will buy one today! nm
Alice - how is your cat today?
nm
While out today, I was so tempted to
stop and get a pack!!! This is so hard, but I am doing it.
I cannot drink a coke though. It tastes really gross and I love coke. Dr. Pepper tastes gross too, but not as bad as coke. I've just been chugging water every time an urge hits.
