DH is dear husband or any number of colorful adjectives preceding husband. (no message)
;)
I remarried after the other husband died
and I have moved to another town about 30 miles away and I do not use the same hospital anymore. In fact, lucky me, I have a medical center right behind me here, all my physicians here in this community, it is so less a stress and strain on me. I am loving it. That hospital P. in Atlanta is a thing of the past.
If my husband died I'd just focus on raising my kids.
And then after they were raised - no, I wouldn't actively pursue meeting someone else. If I just happened to someday meet the perfect match, fine. But I wouldn't be out looking. I think it would just be too hard to adjust to not only the death of your husband, but living with someone completely different. I'd just fill my life with all kinds of OTHER stuff.

I have always said I want to go to Australia.....sm
Now I know why!!! I think I might just move there. Might be better than here!!
ER died when Mark Green died. The 'new'
the same oomph as the originals. Not as exciting as it used to be. I had watched since the very first episode and loved every episode until then. Now it's BORING!
Friends, really miss Friends :-(
Joey just isn't the same for me 
I have a rose...sm
I have a rose on my right shoulder, well the back of my shoulder. I've had it for about six years now. It's the only one I have. I have considered getting another, but just haven't come across the right one yet. If you are going to get one, make sure it is something that has some meaning for you as it will be there forever. I would definately advise against putting anyones name on your body, even if it is your spouse. The only name I would ever put on me would be my child's name.
As far as the pain goes, I won't lie to you...it does hurt. Depending on where you get it on your body will depend on just how bad it will hurt though. When I got mine, the pain was not all that intense. It feels kind of like a bee sting...that continues and continues until they stop with the needle. Getting the outline done is the worst part as the needles are a bit larger. The part on mine that hurt the most was when he was near my shoulder blade and that is because when you are over bone it is going to hurt worse because there is not a lot of muscle there to cushion it. The good news is, when they stop, the pain stops. At least that's how it was in my case.
Another thing...to prevent your tattoo from fading as fast (and your tattoo artist should tell you this if he/she is good) if you are in the sun make sure you put sunblock on your tattoo. It is good to put sublock on your body anyway, but make sure especially to put sunblock on your tattoo, as the sun is a sure way to drain the color out of your tattoo a lot faster. I got mine done a little over six years ago and it still looks like new. Also, if you do decide to get one, follow the aftercare instructions very carefully. My tattoo artist had special ointment to put on the tattoo after it was finished, but I understand that A&D ointment (for diaper rash) works well also. You have to keep it moist to prevent it from scabbing over.
Bottom line is, a tattoo is a life-long piece of artwork for your body. You should pick something that is meaningful to you and put it in a place that you would like it to be. Personally, I would never put one in a place that could not be covered up if need be...but that's just me.
Good luck!
Thanks, Rose........... sm
I have tried this numerous times and have been on the phone with my ISP tech support gang multiple times, only to be told that the problem must lie with my computer. It would seem that something is keeping my wireless computer from receiving a signal from the router, but I don't know what it is. The wireless receiver is only about 6 months old.
Hi Rose
The only other info I want to know is, are you hiring? Just kidding (sort of :)). Good for you, though. You go, girl!
Rose, - see message
I believe Sten-Tel has quite a few of the hospital accounts in Long Island. In fact, a few years ago I worked for a hospital in Nassau County while I lived in Manhattan, and they unfortunately outsourced to Sten-Tel.
However, there is a hospital in Manahawkin, NJ called Southern Ocean County Hospital, and they are looking for a radiology transcriptionist. It might be worth a shot to see if they would be interested in have a telecommuting position to you!! It would be worth a shot.
Rose, get this again.. unbelievable but
I was told by the company I work for that I was not supposed to refer to them, they do their own choosing. Well, ok, I only tried to get in contact regarding this 1 time and needless to say, would you try again? I think not. I do love VR and work part-time now and make enough in those days to pay my bills, etc. Good luck with whatever you do!
see Rose's message above; appears to be more to this.

Any good ideas for rose bushes? sm
I'm thinking of planting rose bushes along our new fence and just can't decide from all the varieties. I do want some that bloom all summer long and are winter hardy. Illinois can be brutal sometimes. 
The Rose. Good luck to your daughter. nm

Well, of course there are other companies doing the same. Take off the rose colored glasses and
:P
Wishing you a peachy one right back at ya, Rose! :) nm

Rose, I had asked pretty much the same question...
a while back. Here's what I gathered: QA is generally paid by the hour (at my company it's about 15 to 18/hr). Apparently it IS easier on the hands/fingers/wrists. That is why I was considering it--starting to get tingling/pain in my hands at times. Unfortunately for me, I make a bit more than 18/hr so I would have to actually take a pay cut. Don't know it that would be the case for you or not.
I only have about 10 years' experience. With your 25 years maybe you could find a better hourly somewhere.
Good luck in whatever you do.
Weird, isn't it? I had two Rose of Sharon bushes, one I bought for my mother
and planted it in her yard. The other I bought for myself and planted it in my yard. My mother passed away in 1993 and my bush died a month later. My father passed away in 1996 and that bush in their yard died a month later. Both passed on in August, 3 years and 5 days from one another. Makes you wonder.
That's a great news Rose, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your daughter
guess, that all we could do for now.
Totally agree. Don Juan climbing rose is nice, too. sm
I love my antique rose, but wish the flowers lasted longer.
I totally understand but if your husband is like my husband... sm
When it comes to something like that, that I usually take care of but for whatever reason I can't, I will tell my husband exactly what to do, but when he comes back - to use your case as a "for instance" - I will ask him, "Did the doctor look at his foot?"
Him: "No."
Me: "Did you ask the doctor to look at his foot?"
Him: "No."
Me: "I told you to have the doctor look at his foot!"
Him: (shrug)
etc., etc., etc.
Your husband may not be like that - I sure hope he isn't. And yes, they should have checked his vitals and checked his foot without being asked. But sometimes you have to be assertive with people. And while my husband attained the rank of major in the Air Force and had no trouble ordering people around, there are times when he should be assertive but isn't. And he is not intimidated by doctors - he started his AF career as an x-ray tech (that's how we met). I dunno....(Rad MT wanders off, mumbling....)
Who died?
and left you boss? 
I used to have one of those (died on me too).
If you really like the mechanical keyswitch feel (which I sure do) and don't need a split/ergo keyboard, then you might want to think about trying one of the old Model M IBM keyboards ... very similar in feel (actually, better, IMO) to the NMB. I, unfortunately, have to use a totally split keyboard now, otherwise I'd be using a Model M myself.
You can sometimes find vintage ones cheap in local little computer stores too (I got one for $5 once that way).

Any rose gardeners out there? Good roses that are disease proof and smell good?
I heard good things about Knockout Rose but they don't smell too much like traditional rose. Supposedly blooms all season.
He died because of his fame. Not enough for you? SM
Heroes come in all shapes and sizes. They do different things that make them heroes to different people. What you really meant to say was that John Lennon was not a hero to you, right?
died today at age 83...........nm

he died almost a year ago (sm)
He had hypertension, diabetes, and had had a stroke in 2003. He was only 54.
No, it's not bad. I cried more when my cat died than when
t
I'm a wimp. I got another dog, just like the one that died, 2 weeks later.
I missed her so much that after we came back from vacation, I got another just like her. Same coloring, same breed. Only this time I got a male instead of a female and he has green eyes, not black. I can't believe how much alike they are.
I had similar experiences after my mom died (sm)
On my mother's birthday, after she died, the smoke alarms went off in my house. They were not in need of new batteries, nor was there even a hint of smoke in the house.
They continued to go off at different occasions, each of which was a "special day," either a birthday or a holiday that she enjoyed.
My mom was in marching band when she was in HS and pretty much made me follow in her footsteps. It was okay, but not a decision I would have chosen. My daughter inadvertantly, through a scheduling glitch ended up in marching band her first year of high school. She ended up loving it. At sleep-away band camp the following year, in the chaparone's quarters (where I was sleeping), the smoke alarm went off during the night. It was kind of funny though, because it went off in another chaparone's room and I didn't even hear it. The other chaparone told me about it the next day and what she went through to get it to stop (basically had to beat if off the wall). When she told me, I just smiled and said, "Oh, that was my mom, she just got the wrong room."
I always thought how proud mom would have been that my daughter ended up in band and even ended up being the drum major her senior year and what a difference it made in her life.
That was the last I've heard of mom.
I'm a strong believer in God, but somehow I think it's possible that those close to us have "ways" of letting us know they're still loving us, even though they have a strange way of showing it! Kind of like when they were alive LOL! ;-)
let's see... christopher died at 52, keanu is almost 41
.
My pet turkey, Bubba, died of
natural causes two weeks ago. He was about 50 pounds. His wife, though, Bubette, is still healthy and well. I guess she is a turkey widow now.
Who died? And didn't get punished?
;D
Lou Rawls died 2day...
I thot he had an awesome voice. Great talent!
It was a very sad day when she died. It makes no sense at all.
dd
mine finally died
it took about a week.
It was in the same room that I sleep in. I discovered if I left the light on it stayed quiet most of the time through the night. I sure could not find it, and I don't think mine escaped. :( cc
ER died with Mark Green - Not the
him, Carol and Doug. One thing that got to me though, why didn't Carol and Doug show up for his funeral???? The newer episodes just don't have the same uumph - I stick to the reruns on TNT.
ditto......and clarabelle just died!!...nm
robert kardashian died ? When?
No, she only eats chicken... that died from old age... LOL
Hypocrite?!
Mine did this, motherboard died
I had a few do this, and the motherboard had died. I had just purchased them.
We had a weird happening after my father died...
He died in August and when we went to visit his grave just before Christmas, the grass was still growing back over the plot. The grass had grown in the shape of a Christmas tree inside the rectangular plot of dirt over the grave. We got some bulbs and decorations and laid them in the grass and took pictures. Guess what, the pictures didn't turn out. "dodo do do" (twilight zone tune)
Pretty wild, I have not had really anything happen since my mom died 09/26/04 except how Jen became
diagnosed with her Wilms tumor. The day prior to it she'd had her normal checkup and the doctor totally missed the tumor (hard to since it was huge, 15 x 11 x 5 cm...was not protruding though unless she was flat on her back and naked and then only a tiny bit), but felt if you palpated the abdomen. (Dr. cut my daughter's ear while trying to clean wax but failed to mention it to her what he was trying to do, messed up the rest of the exam since she was crying and freaked out from it) The very next day after her check up though, she fell off the kiddie see-saw (18" fall).....my husband likes to think my mom pushed her off, which subsquently caused a blood vessel on the tumor to burst, which made her pee blood, which got me to get her to the doctor's, who proto found her tumor. Had she not been diagnosed then, in the next week or so the tumor would have probably burst or spread or somehow not have been encapsulated anymore and things would have been a lot worse. So my mom helped her get treatment a lot earlier than she otherwise would have probably. I thinks it's nice to think about it this way.
My favorite teacher died yesterday...
He was my choir director in high school - such a lovely, special and talented man. He really made a difference in my life 30 years ago. Sad day 4 me.
I agree..my mother was a teacher and when she died..sm
So many people told me what an impact she had on their lives. It was nice to hear it.
Had to QA a report on a baby today, died after a
horrible birth and hospital stay for months. One drug was missing and I just could NOT find it. I am good at that, and felt so bad that this little girl had a big blank in the middle of her report. It was such a long horrible story, including all the agonizing decisions the parents had to make. I just did NOT want a blank in there. So weird, but I went to double check another drug that started with a totally different letter, and when I clicked on that letter, another letter popped up with the exact drug I had been looking for prior. Long story, but too weird, and I knew someone else was helping me out with that blank. I felt so at peace that the little kid had a complete death summary. The patients deserve nothing less, right?
the thread had died. you're the one keeping it going.
ever look at the dates on these things? let it go. sheesh.
Her mother died??? I don't remember hearing about this.
