In Reply to: How did everyone celebrate New Years? - HolidayMT
Call in sick maybe twice a year and this year it had to be on New Year's Eve. Hope they didn't think I wanted an early start, because I don't drink. Threw up all morning, lounged on the couch the rest of the day, snoozed here and there, went to bed at 9 and got up at 5:30 to work. Fun day.

Yes, but after work hours is the same (nm)

I work about 10 hours a day with very little time off. nm

I work too many hours to have a TV schedule BUT
My daughter was visiting from college during winter break and downloaded The Office. I didn't watch at first, just heard it while I was doing other things... but I just was drawn to watch. So when I finished 10 hours of work, we'd watch like 5 or 6 in a row. I'm almost caught up and this show is just SO funny to me.
So that's it. My favorite show to watch is THE OFFICE. Can't believe no one said it yet.
I wouldn't have to sit around for 14 hours trying to get work!!.
I
Thanks. I have slept since then
Dh did say that maybe she was going to sit there anyway and he just happened to be there. She probably went there for the same reason he went there...to spend time with the kids. She saw no one else she knew except him and saw that he had an empty spot and plopped down, rather than sitting with a stranger. Plus it might have been an ego boost for him. I have to admit I feel a rush when another man pays attention to me. However, it doesn't happen as much as it used to anymore  Thanks so much for your help.
Slept in until 10:00, and so
far I've just got caught up on the dishes, had breakfast, am still having my last cup of java, and checking out TV and now the boards. I need to clean and do laundry and work outside, but the sun is shining I'm just so relaxed it's hard to get going. DH is still playing a video game, so he's not motivated either, LOL. It was supposed to be raining, so we really should be out there with all the neighbors, working on the yard. Oy the weeds.
But thier actual hours are much more than just the hours
jku
Ooooh, I slept till 10:00 also that was after
being awake from 3:00 until 5:30 which is not unusual. DH and DD left yesterday to go do some private horseback riding lessions about 2 1/2 hours from here. DS left at 6:00 this morning for a speech cometition. Yes, after I had just fallen asleep at 5:30 he woke me at 6:00 to tell me bye. I have absolutely no motivation to do anything today. As a matter of fact, I took a nap from 12:30-1:00. I am such a bad girl.
Mine slept through fire alarm
My 16-year-old daughter sleeps like the dead. A couple of years ago the fire alarm went off in the middle of the night and it was absolutely blaring in her room, and she SLEPT THROUGH IT! Needless to say, an alarm doesn't work. I not only wake her up, I physically pick her up out of bed and stand her on her feet. I honestly don't know what she will do when she goes off to college. No problems with my 18-year-old. By the way, I don't do very many other things for them - they are self-sufficient. But this is a practical matter.
N/T - I missed that one
Do I really want to know? LOL. I was thoroughly grossed out last Saturday when they repeated the "Reefer" episode. That's the worse gore I've seen so far.
thanks--I must have missed the very end of the sm
first episode. Now it makes sense.
I can't believe I missed that! sm
Did that happen this season or last? (Wilbur's bio-dad)
I wonder if they're going to keep up the story line about the child-biter.
sorry, missed that, but use caution just the same
be careful
Sorry, missed this post. Yes, very appropriate. nm
,
Missed my periods.
//
Nope - missed that.
Sorry.
Must have missed that episode. (sm)
Oh wait, just had a thought. Was it that weirdo guy they hired to help out at the funeral home- the one the mother liked?
I guess he missed them.

I think you missed your calling, Cat . . SM
should have been a CHEF! 
Thanks Nana! I missed that. nm
They've probably missed it because...sm
the boot camps are south of the line where the snow is.
I missed the 1st night but saw the 2nd.
It was hilarious. It is obvious some people are even shocked when they hear their own voices a capella. They have probably only sung along with the radio or in the shower before, but even after they've been rejected they keep trying to make a pretty sound come out, like "where is it?" Uh, this is what you always sound like, but it's been drowned out by the radio, LOL.
You missed the point - sm
The point is not that she necessarily go with the goal to work things out in order to stay. The point is that she goes to talk with someone, either with him or alone, to sort through it all so that in the end she can close this chapter of her life and either move on with him or without him. She has stayed these 4 years, so why not be able to put it to bed once and for all, one way or another, with the help of a professional to help guide her?
I guess I must have missed something
when reading, didn't realize there were no beneficiaries named. Wonder how that happened, maybe it was different in the 'old days' but what a headache for someone to try to untangle it all. Don't think today you can get away with not naming beneficiaries, at least what I've seen.
Me too! Never missed Here Come the Brides or
the Monkees!
Yep, missed that part. Thanks!
:)
OMG. I missed the last episode?!?!
x
First, that's a lot of hours!! (sm)
That's probably a big part of your problem is that you are working so many hours. But I have a great chair that I bought about 8 years ago when I was having shoulder pain from transcribing. I searched until I found one where the arms would raise up high enough so that I could rest my elbows on the chair arms while I work and that supported my shoulders.
I need about 10 hours!!!
LOL.
Really though, I don't feel all there if I don't get 7-8 hours of sleep, but maybe that is because I am accustomed to it, but also that "8 hours" is interrupted by being awoken by the man in my bed that breathes too loud! (i now sleep with ear plugs), plus I have to get up and pee like twice a night...
You raise an interesting point if you can gradually get used to sleeping less... think of all the things I could get done! But it never fails, I have been going to bed around 11, waking up around 6 (interrupted during the night) and without fail I get sooooo sleepy at about 1-2 p.m. Could that be because I have to sit and stare and type all day??
Dont know but I like this post!
I'm tired now :)
150 hours and then you still have to have
xx
You can put up with just about anything for a few hours! sm
Does he realize how much it means to you that he and you spend Thanksgiving together? I would pull out all the stops here. Tell him it is just for a few hours, can he not put up with them for a few hours out of an entire year? He might also like some reassurance you are not going to let your sister cuss him out again and get away with it (if that is what happened last time). I really would emphasize how much you want him to go to be with you if nothing else. Then if all else fails, yes I am saying this, use the crying card. I am pulling for you!!!
About three hours ago!!! sm
I was walking down the hallway here at the hospital where I work. It is linoleum flooring and I have pumps on. I was heading down to the radiology department to talk to the doc about something and probably going a little too fast. I was turning the corner in the hallway and my heel just slipped right out from underneath my feet! I was mortified. But, you know what makes the story even better?...today is laundry day and all I had to wear to work today was a DRESS!!!!!!. So, I'm sitting on my rump in the middle of a busy hospital hallway trying to cover up my tush before the ENTIRE hospital saw it.
So, in conclusion I guess you could say that:
1. I will not be wearing a skirt or dress again to work any time soon.
and
2. I probably need to slow down on the corners!!!
LOL
I think you missed part of my post....sm
she does see a psychologist, and has talked with her caseworker as well as both of us foster parents about this (in addition to another prior foster home that had problems with her stealing). I only called the juvenile authorities to see if they had other suggestions of things to get her to stop this behavior before she gets to the point that she steals something and the store calls the police on her.
I guess you missed the point
I was talking about those who have multiple partners by the time they marry (and these days many women wait until they are close to 30 for marriage) and start having sex at 15/16? Well....you do the math! LOL Sorry but yes I do think that is immoral and I don't know of many guys in my day that would have wanted to marry someone who ten or more other guys got to see naked if you know what I mean. :)
Missed a lot of the discussion apparently - sm
What I don't understand is where you get that all unwed mothers are drug addicts or alcoholics.
That is not true at all. Sure, it happens to some but for you to lump unwed mothers into that category is terrible.
You don't know my personal circumstances. I don't know yours.
I'm just saying that I would like to help others that are in the same situation I was in way back when. Hopefully I would be able to help them so they don't have the struggles that I had.
Thankfully, my child and I were never homeless but I worked my tail off to make sure that didn't happen. I sometimes worked 2-3 jobs.
I also worked my way through school. I didn't get hand outs, didn't expect them either but it really would have been wonderful if someone was there to guide me to the things that I needed to do. Maybe it wouldn't have taken me so long to get to where I needed to be.
Absolutely nothing is free in this world and that would not be the point.
However, this is a dream we are talking about right? This isn't about socioeconomic dysfunction. It's about someone wanting to help someone else.
Missed these shows yesterday...sm
Anything good happen? Did Nick reappear? Please update me...
TyneLyn's party! We missed you, Me2
 Little Tyne sure had a great time at her party today! I gave her a small piece of her doggie cake and mom, dad and I had one too! It actually was quite good, but dry, not sugary sweet, of course. I gave her just a little vanilla ice cream with her cake. Later the big guns! Her Dad went into the TV room and brought her brand new toy out on the porch! She played with it all evening and even when I was leaving she was still under the end table between her mom and me while we were watching TV, playing with her new rope toy. She sure had a great day! I said to my mom tonight that it takes so little to bring joy to pets and make them feel loved. Making an animal feel loved and safe is everything to me. I am going to volunteer at our local S.P.C.A. this fall for sure. The orientation is the second Saturday of each month. I work every other Saturday, and the first one that is free is October 13. I will be there! 
How cute! Sorry you missed out on it , maybe next time ;)

Oh man, I missed it! Hayseed...requests?
How about we send in requests, and then Hayseed can go out and act them out? That could relieve some boredom while sitting in front of the computer all day! LOL!
Oh gosh, I missed the boat on this one!
I just posted what I thought was awesome, not what I was dreaming was awesome! I have no imagination.
Okay, calorie-free ice cream would be my awesome thing. With Cool Whip. Calorie-free Cool Whip.
glad you are ok Hayseed, I have missed
reading your posts. I have been to the point where the first thing I do when I come to the board is to see whether you posted back yet LOL.
Hello Hayseed, you've been missed again.
Funny picture!!!!
Darn, missed this show.
x
I missed the show but just saw a clip
What in the world was Teri Hatcher thinking? I thought she really embarrassed herself.
I missed it last night...what happened?
I searched the net but was unable to find any thing on last night's show....
I was up last night but missed your post
So I was up last night at that time but missed your post.
I see you are on PST, where are you located? I am in the Seattle area.
I guess you could call me a Goth MT as well : )
You missed the point of my post
The only things she chose to complain about were nitpicky things -- what they serve for dinner. Most kids don't have dinner with their parents. Last time I checked PB&J and yogurt were pretty healthy. Her GS has ADHD. He isn't going to "behave" on command. Any MT would know that. First she complains because they don't correct them, then she complains because they are, just not to her standards. Instead of criticizing her kids, she should be trying to help the situation.
Did she hit a nerve with me? Absolutely. My parenting skills are always being critiqued. From the time my oldest son was old enough to eat until about the age of 6, I had to pack PB&J everywhere we went. He refused to eat anything else. Was it because I didn't offer it to him, no. It was because that's what he liked and that's what he could control. My other child has ODD -- oppositional defiant disorder. Is it because I didn't parent him correctly? No, it's because that's how he's wired. I have 2 other children who are not like this. They were all raised in the same house under the same rules. I am constantly berated by my father for not "cracking the whip" on him and by my mother for being "too strict." It's so easy to sit back as GPs and offer criticism after criticism. Then after upsetting DS or DD, you can go back home and not be the one who on top of your feelings of inadequacy now has to deal with a difficult child.
I could see if it the OP said the children were malnourished or not cleaned and clothed properly, but she's complaining about yogurt and fishsticks. She's complaining about an ADHD child who doesn't behave. 
I missed the part about the picture
Forget it. No way. They probably want a live-in sex slave.
Yes - does not work! Hoax if you ask me. MetaboLife doesn't work either.
The only thing that works for me is exercise and eating correctly! No quick fix, unfortunately.
Just got back from HOURS in the ER.
I don't understand why ER visits take so long. There were only two of us in there and we came in together. I was there for 3 1/2 hours.
Anyhoo, after my doctor stopped laughing, I was diagnosed with a flu-like viral illness, second degree ankle sprain, an award winning black eye and dehydration. I do normally have lower blood pressure around 100-110/49-70 and it was about 98/49 when he first saw me. He thinks I was just super talented and passed out from the stomach pain/nausea and sitting on the pot. I have an Aircast to wear for the next few weeks and told to just take it easy. He was more concerned about the chronic nausea I've had since my gallbladder surgery last year, but I think my body just misses all that lovely bile it produced.
So for now I'm pushing fluids and taking it easy.
Or maybe they could wait a few hours
before coming to the board where they very well know the east coasters want to be talking about it.
