I'mmmmm baaack!!!, just finished reading the posts from yesterdays threads, and Red, I tend to hold water as well, chill out with the heart lower then the legs, don't know exactly why that is suppose to work but it does.. if nothing else it gives you a chance to nap..

Krissy Invega is one of the newer meds, I haven't taken it, but I've seen where others are taking it and having success, I would recommend starting your medications and seeing how you do, if you have any problems bring it to your doctors attention, just keep in mind that it takes about a month or so before it gets into your system to therapeutic levels.

Survived the car exchange, the sister in law is a real panic nut, she left the house 5 minutes before I got there.. I can't say that I am not like her when it comes to work, I don't like to be rushed, I like to get there early have a smoke and check out what is going on.. if I am not there 15 minutes early, I consider myself late..

I did find out one thing yesterday, rushing is not good for me, I high tailed it out there yesterday, to get her there in plenty of time, and I was totally off balance for the rest of the day..

On a happy note? we put up one of the screens we had bought for the house, it's on the back door, today and last night was cooling off where having the doors open was possible, the door seems to have worked for keeping the flies out, but didn't keep the neighborhood cat out.. don't know if it had just got in or if there was nothing in my trash can that smelled appealing. So thankfully I didn't have trash all over the floor, going to have to figure out a way to stop that from happening.. a couple of rolls of Velcro and some more pebbles in the bottom of it should do the trick.. we're considering stapling the one side, and then just adding more Velcro to the other side for being able to go in and out.. it's a cool screen really... recommend it for anyone who can't get a screen door for their place.. we're in a trailer, so there isn't many store models that would fit, and the cost is out of our budget anyway, the two screens plus shipping were under $40.00, we're currently trying to figure out how we are going to do it on the front door, as you can't put it up inside like we did the back one.. guess we'll check out the habitat for humanity and see if they have something that would work, or just make our own, three 8x4x1/2 boards, a staple gun and some trim boards will do it.. summer's coming so it won't be long before we can't even have the doors open..

Anyway, Good morning everyone..

Good moring, Carmen, and everyone!

Had my high speed internet installed yesterday. It's going great except that my son wants to be on all the time playing games, now that he can. I will have to work out a deal so I can get on sometimes, too. Trying to figure out how to navigate around and stuff, but working on it.

I have to teach a 3 hour workshop tomorrow to other teachers about using an active board (it's an interactive white board). I HATE talking in front of people and don't know what I was thinking! But, I do get paid for it.

My daughtr's graduation party is next Friday, the 27th, so I will probably spend the weekend getting things ready.

Hugs,

Terri

LOL - That should work. Right now, it is new to him. He will probably be more interested in playing outside again soon. It has been cold and rainy, too, which has kind of forced him inside.

Morning all... TerriTea, if he wants to play games so bad, tell him to earn enough to buy his own computer system and a wireless router and then he can... Things only have value when we earn them... Most of the "Kids" that I run across have been given so much that nothing has any value... Nor do they have any work skills or work ethics... Just ask Carmen... Didn't sleep very good last night, so I'm not to together this morning... Hope ya'll have a good day

Glenn, he is only 8 - I'll cut him some slack, lol. Besides, I need some time to study the remote that goes with the cable tv we also had installed.

Have you recovered from your fall? I believe that you and I are the only ones on this morning.

Eight eh??? no time like the present to start a good foundation for his future... but that is your chore, and not up to me to tell you what to do... Your Speaking engagement is looming and I don't envy you... I can talk a persons ear off, but in front of a group, forgetaboutit.... Good Luck miss Tee

Morning Carmen, Glenn (love the picture and song reference), Terri...

Carmen...I am not sure what type of door you have but we finally had to put a grate on the bottom half of ours. The dogs kept ripping it and that doesn't help when trying to keep flys out and them in! LOL We got ours at lowes pretty cheap (can't remember price from last year). We have a metal screen door so had to use drill to install but it has stated on ever since.

Terri...yep I don't like speaking in front of people either. I tend to sweat which adds to the discomfort.

I have the door open this morning! So nice to have a break from the sweltering heat! It makes all the difference to my mood mind set for the day.

Have a great day everyone!

Morning guys...Wednesday...got several people called in sick so we will be short handed. The others are great at picking up the slack, but, with the hot weather sometimes tempers flare. I find if I keep calm they tend to do the same...now for the hard part, me keeping calm...LOL LOL

Have a good one, Guys..talk later...{{{HUGGG}}}}
