Oops! That should be Sunday 2/1/09

Older dogs go get epilepsy
We have three in the neighborhood that range from 5 to 8 that have developed epilepsy in the past year. Also my chow/lab mix started with major major seizures after being put on steroids for an infection/hot spot after age of 5. Went to a neurologist put her on medication for about a year, not dilantin, and slowly withdrew her off after a year. She has had some minor ones -- is now 16+ years, but never the major ones. It is becoming more common now a days for dogs to develope epilepsy. When I worked for a vet 25 years ago it was uncommon but is becoming very common and more prevelant in certain breeds - ie chows. And often when dogs get 10+ years the will sudden develop epilepsy. So each case is separate and I don't think that one can generalize as to what age epilepsy can start. Again, the trip to the neurologist was less expensive than our regular vet, he spent 30 minutes with us, did a general neurologic work-up, etc. I strongly recommend a specialist when having skin, neurologic or other specific troubles when your general vet is unable to help as it is lots of times cheaper. Sorry about your loss, I am anticipating that soon with Tasha 16+ years but she was given a pretty good clean bill of health just a month ago except for deafness and arthritis in the back legs but we still walk 1/2 to 3/4 mile a day.
not sure if they are there on Sunday though.

Sunday dinner
Well, yeah....The boys (23 and 25) come over on Sunday afternoon before they go work to check up on us old folks and eat up our food. They'll come in and help with prep first. We get a lotta laughs in the kitchen.
They've been cooking since about the age of 5 and 7...I didn't have girls and they wanted to be part of the process... sous chefs (cut this, peel that, okay this is how you sautee) ....worked for me and they'll never starve wating for someone else to cook. Cat
Filled up Sunday - $93.00 - yea SUV ... nm

Sunday walk in the park
DH and I were walking the dogs in a small park yesterday and a reddish bird swooped in front of us. It was the same color as a thrasher, but since he landed on a nearby tree limb I stopped to check. It was a tiny owl. Apparently an Eastern screech owl. They are common yet rarely noticed, so we thought it was really neat. The dogs never reacted to him at all, and the owl seemed as curious about us as we were about him. Our faces were maybe 4 feet from him.
Come to SoFla. Going to the beach on Sunday;
xx
We get to go to Emeril's for dinner Sunday.
Can't wait. I hope he's there himself.
Love sunday afternoons
As soon as I get done typing I will put a roast in the oven, prep the veggies and rolls.
We will eat about 445 - 5pm afterwhich the whole family (dogs too) will go down to the river for a walk. When we return home while the kids are showering I will mix a batch of Splenda ChocoChip to throw in the oven so when everyone is cleaned up we can curl up watch a movie (usually disney) with warm cookies and milk. Everyone is usually snug in bed by 9pm except for me. I log on a work for a few more hours.
My DH is a Browns fan. He cries every Sunday.

Actually going house shopping on Sunday
Buying a new house!
It was a full-on Italian Sunday dinner.
We always had Sunday dinner with my entire extended family. (We lived on the same street.) So Sundays were a giant food festival with my mother's, grandmom's, and aunts' kitchens going full blast right after church until all the food was brought to Grandmom's for dinner in the afternoon. The first time I cooked for DH, then-boyfriend, was just my usual Sunday routine. My mom was ill, so I did our share of the dinner, which was chicken parmigiana and probably some other things. I also made bread with my grandmother that morning. My poor husband came from a food-deprived culture. His mother can't cook, and Sunday dinners at his house were usually tuna sandwiches and tomato soup. He shared that information at the table with my family, and there was instant silence. You could have heard a pin drop. Jaws went slack and everyone stared. It's still one of my funniest memories. A second or two later, my older cousins started razzing me for bringing home the poor "Irish kid", and all the women jumped up and started heaping more food on my hubby's plate.
The thread about Sunday school has been removed. See inside.

We're having a big fall/Halloween party on Sunday. sm
 I need some great ideas to ask guests to bring - Husband and I are providing the main meal but I'm asking some friends and relatives to bring "side" items. The main dish will be chili dogs. I asked friend to bring a few bags of chips. Anything else interesting a few people can bring to accompany? Not everyone is bringing something. We do this every year, have hay rides, and it lasts all day. We play games and give out prizes. It's a blast. A lot of people from our church will be coming. I'm really not the only one hosting it, but the other hosts need to know what to bring...I can't think of anything interesting besides drinks and chips!
I'm making my famous marshmallow witches again this year and another gal is bringing baby cany apples by scooping out a portion of an apple with a melon thingie and dipping those in caramel. I've never heard of them before but she said they were so cute! What do you creative women think??I need to let my other hostesses know today some time. thanks!!
I know people who take off Superbowl Sunday and that's surely more trivial than this. nm

I having a standing appt to view YouTube every Sunday. Best part is
the enjoyment of forwarding them to my friends for their listening pleasure. MUSIC IS THE BEST MEDICINE, AND AS FAR AS I KNOW, NO ONE EVER COMPLAINS OF ADVERSE SIDE EFFECTS OR ALLERGIC REACTIONS. 
One time I was typing on a calm Sunday evening and my son came into the room...
said, "I told you we should buy me a new bike," and I looked up at him and his arm was all bloody and his left flank and hip were all bloody and grungy, I shot off an e-mail to whoever was there on Sunday night and took him to the ER with a broken arm. Bike was also unrepairable. By the way, I offered to buy him a new bike not too many days prior to this incident and he said he didn't need one.
Boat show in Urbanna on Sat. and Busch Gardens on Sunday - nm

We do the Sunday dinner thing every night. We have 3 young boys sm
all under the age of 10 and our family didn't do it growing up and neither did my husband's family. The 5-7 p.m. hour is precious to me. I work from 7-10 almost every night so I just take that time to talk with my husband and let the kids update hubby on their day at home, esp. since I'm homeschooling this year. I know, sounds so June Cleaverish...but it's really not. I make sure I am NOT on the phone when he comes home and definitely no company between those hours. You have to protect that family unit.
I was a grocery checker and he was my Sunday customer (kinda long)..
I would only see him on Sundays, usually every other, and I would look for him when I was on my breaks or lunch. Our offices and breakroom were upstairs with large picture windows and you could see most of the store. If I would see him wandering the aisles I would run down and open my checkstand for him. He came through my line one time and we made small chit chat. I asked him about a current event that was going on in our state that was pretty big news and he knew nothing about it; he had been on a 2 week business trip and hadn't heard the news. He then told me he was going sturgeon fishing for a couple of days; I acted interested and the next time he came through my line he brought me some smoked sturgeon. I hate fish, but of course took it anyway, thanked him profusely, and gave it to a neighbor (and my cats!). From then on for about 2 months I would see him every other Sunday. I scoped out what he bought, and determined he wasn't married (you can tell a lot about a person by what they grocery shop for).
Then, one day when I got off work, I had to do some grocery shopping. I was talking to a customer of mine in the produce section when all of a sudden here comes Mr. Sunday, who happened to work with the customer I was chatting with. Mr. Sunday said hi to me, general chit chat, and our mutual friend said that Mr. Sunday was a great guy, we looked cute together, maybe he should ask me out. Awkward moment, much laughter, customer leaves. Mr. Sunday and I are standing by the magos (he loves them, I hate them), he picks one out, asks me if I like them, I say yes (have lied twice now about food), grab one and buy it. My teenage daughter asked me when I got home what I was going to do with it and I said I didn't know; the neighbor got the mango too.
Finally, after not seeing Mr. Sunday for 2 weeks, I was gettng ready to go home on a weekday when all of a sudden who should come in but him. We literally bumped into each other. He asked me if I got the messages he left at the store for me. I told him no. He then looked at my nametag and said, "No wonder you didn't get the message, I thought your nametag said Sandra." Not my name....Apparently he called and left 3 messages for Sandra. They told him no one by that name worked there, hence I never got the messages. He gave me his phone number, told me to call him when I was free for lunch, and the rest is history. I found out he only came in on Sunday because he lived rurally, came in to go to church, only had to shop every other week because he was single (actually newly divorced). He worked in town but did 12-hour shifts, so if he came into the store at all to shop I was already off work by the time he came in.
Ten years later, he has since learned that I hate fish and mangos and what my REAL name is. We have an absolutely wonderful marriage, he makes me laugh every day, and he is a wonderful man. All because of the grocery store.
Just checked my receipt from Sunday...0.69/pound. I didn't even notice.
I honestly don't know what is normal for bananas here (FL). I keep track of other items, but not bananas. You've got me curious now, though.
*sings* Footloose, footloose-kick up UR Sunday...
Everyone is entitled to their opinion - just don't get it when someone says *i just don't like it* and we are talking about DANCING and HAVING FUN. Perhaps you don't like Latino dancing - it was all about the Rumba and Samba last night.....
*sings* Hot, Hot, Hot!! La Vida Loca (the crazy life)!!

Oops, sorry, I see your
daughters had it last year so you already know all about taking care of it! Sorry, but for anyone else may be some help, and it did help to talk to the adminstrator at least in part. Another thing for anyone with a daughter with light blond hair, like mine had and still does, you can't see the nits real easy. She has enough hair for 10 people, kind of always a little joke between us because I'm always asking her to share some with me.  The nit comb didn't work very well because her hair was so thick and nits hard to see in the light blonde hair, so I needed to hand pick the nits (why I'm such an excellent ~nit picker~ ) and slide them off, kind of partitioned her hair off in sections and went section by section, still gives me the creeps to this day, and that was quite a long time ago! I did feel sorry for those girls who came from a family like that, though, who didn't seem to care and a school administration who was clueless, I guess, to boot! I think many schools these days handle this kind of situation differently, though.

Oops try again!
Oops, link didn't take...try again!
oops...
I do not look like his mom, but I act just like her - both read books all the time, take a travel light on our trips to keep reading at night, both watch the same TV shows, both dress in similiar ways, like the same kind of careers -
his whole family laughs that he just "married his mom"...
Oops
just went back to your I'm working it post and don't see anything about kids, but I still say you're awesome and keep doing what you're doing!
oops it cut my message off
you have to be passing to go out and keep your grades passing to be able to play the whole season - maybe your school has this rule and would help with his grades for a couple months.
oops - that should've said
oops I mean problem not probably
see what he does to me, cannot even type LOL
Oops typo's
 Sorry -- Can't seem to get my fingers to work today. Cannot live without spell checker. LOL
oops - it was 1932......sm
1932 - The Tuskegee Syphilis Study begins. 200 black men diagnosed with syphilis are never told of their illness, are denied treatment, and instead are used as human guinea pigs in order to follow the progression and symptoms of the disease. They all subsequently die from syphilis, their families never told that they could have been treated.
oh and at the link they think that AIDS might have gotten spread from the hepatitis B vaccine - I just read, oh too much information for me...YUCH...gonna check out different other links now.....

Oops, forgot
never was on hormones, had decided years ago not to take, was admonished by one physician in time past I should, so glad I didn't. As I knew, say in the 70s, hormones had some bad press in relation to cancer.
Oops let me back up
