Wacky Wednesday

Good mornin' ya'll.
So, got my new puter last week. Paid for years of Geek Squad support, extra warranty, etc. Yesterday it started messing up. Wouldn't recognize my CD drive. Called Geeks. 'Oh, that sometimes happens with Windows 7. There is a patch we can do. Did you buy the Geek support?' Go to this link. I ask why didn't they put put the patch in when I bought it? He didn't know. Guy takes over my puter. Does some stuff, says 'I see some problems, I can 'set up' your puter now and clean this up'. Why wasn't I offered this when I bought the puter. He didn't know. Over an hour later he's done. Had to remove some uncompatible programs. Of course ones I need and are expensive to get new ones! Grrrr!!
Everyone have a fantabulous day!

Good Morning Carolyn and OFF,
I finally woke up in time to make my AA meeting.  I'm picking a friend up on the way there.

Then, I got a call from my landlady that they are coming down to inspect the property.  So, I have till Friday evening to get this place in order.  Argh.  She said it's to see the property itself, but I don't want them seeing how bad this place looks after they lived in it and it was perfect..  It hasn't been damaged, just messy.  I keep it sanitary, just cluttered.  

Must scoot.

Hugs,
Trish

Good morning Carolyn and Trish and all my OFF sistas!

Carolyn, those dumb computer people!  I never get good service, no matter which venue I try.  I always dread having to buy a new computer because of that.

Trish, I hear you about the clutter!  Baby clutter is the worst!  I can never get ahead of it.

So, I am "home" again at Hilltop.  Sitting out on the deck, enjoying the cool breeze and my view of the lake this morning.  It won't last long.  High is supposed to hit around 100 this afternoon.

My trip home with Benny was fine, just a very long drive for a 2 year old and one old granny.  Still, I could hardly ask for a better boy.  We walked into an absolute train wreck of a house yesterday.  Chris didn't do one damn thing while we were gone.  She didn't even have fresh milk here for the baby!  Makes me crazy trying to live with her.  But I guess the prozac must be helping.  I didn't explode and we managed to get through the evening on friendly terms.  I'm being pretty reserved with her, though.  I just don't think I can live with her much longer, and I don't know what we're going to do about it, but something is going to have to change and soon.  Just really trying to hang in there until Butch gets home next week.  My goal for this last week is to just get through it without fighting.

Had a god-awful headache when I went to bed last night, so I took half a pain pill.  Woke up at 3 a.m. and took the other half.  Still have that headache this morning.  I wish I wish I wish I could take Advil!!!  It's the only thing that works for me.

Well, need to scoot.  Got to feed my deer and then get my shower.  We're going to an Open House at Benny's new pre-school this morning.  Class starts next week for my boy.  He's going to love it there, I hope.

I don't think we have anyone in the path of the hurricane today, do we?  Hope no one is in harm's way.

Love you all!

Good afternoon Carolyn and everyone.....

Carolyn....glad you finally got your new computer up and running.
Sorry you lost programs!!

Vickie....my heart aches for you. You are right...your daughter needs to go. I don't understand why an adult can't clean up after herself. I would have taken Benny somewhere and told her she had 2 hours to get the mess cleaned up!! I am very worried about your emotional state!!  Definitely time for your hubby to step in!!  Prayers, love and hugs!

Trish.....sorry you have to scurry around cleaning things up. I am sure the visit will go well.

Carla....glad you are staying put and keeping safe!! Enjoy the new computer!

I am sure I missed posting to someone....duh....CRS!!

I finally left the house for the first time since Monday AM.  I went tanning  and paid for my storage unit. I was up most of the night. I finally fell asleep at about 6AM and slept until 11AM. Hope this changes soon.

Pam's (BFF) mom's surgery went well. Her Cancer is back and now that broken hip. That poor lady!  I spoke with Pam's aunt yesterday and told her how I feel about Pam and that situation.  None of Pam's family want that guy around. Not with Pam and certainly not her mother!!  GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

Wishing you all a beautiful day!! Prayers for so many in need.

Much love and many hugs to all....connie d

Oh, my sweet friends!  Thank you for your love and concern.  I never meant to make anyone worry about me.  Most of the time I do all right.  I mean I do love my daughter.  She's not a horrible person all of the time.  We do have our good moments together.  It's just that when it goes bad, it goes SO bad, you know?  Still, I just have to make one more week and then Butch will be home.  And my oldest daughter, Carrie, is coming for at least part of the weekend.  That will help, too.

In the meantime, as long as I can come here and vent in safety, that really helps.  Chris can't see what I write here, and so I feel safe in spilling my guts to you all.  Maybe that's naive of me.  I mean, I guess she could find this site and find me if she tried, but I don't think it even registers on her radar that I post here daily.  Just please no comments on FB, okay?  One time Monica posted something there, Chris saw it and went ballistic. 

I think we might should rename this forum the SFF instead of OFF.  Safety For Fifty-somethings!  LOL!

Love you all! 

Hi Carolyn and my OFF family:

Computers are a ***** aren't they? I had to fax some stuff to my FSA for authorization so they would clear my card before I went to the dentist (so I could use it again). Found this new site (through the FSA guy) called GotFreeFax.Com; you can fax over the Internet if you don't have a fax (which I don't). But before you can send the fax, you have to confirm it via email. Wouldn't you know it, at that point, I couldn't access my email through any of my browsers? I had to call my Internet provider and ask what was going on ... luckily, I found an intelligent one who led me through a few steps, sent a signal through my modem, had me reboot and voila! I was able to get through on all my browsers (which I wasn't able to do before at all through IE or Google Chrome, just Firefox). But, in the meantime, I had a big ol' headache, going down the left side of my head into my ear. Even Imitrex wouldn't get rid of it. Had to take a vicodin and use an ice pack.

Well, the back procedure seems to have helped. Last night I was in a lot of pain after the drugs wore off, and this morning too but after I moved around, I felt OK. Now, later when I went to the dentist, and he drilled in my fractured tooth, I didn't feel so hot, but he numbed it up a lot, so it wasn't horrible. Horrible taste in the mouth though. Yuck! The numbness has worn off; I think I'll try some soft food.

Vickie, I'm glad the Prozac is helping. I can't imagine having difficulties with your daughter ... well, yes, I can ...my mom drives me crazy (so I probably drive her crazy). Is there a possibility she could get some low-income housing?

Well, not much else is happening. I think I'm going to nuke some leftover tuna casserole. Haven't had much to eat today. Have a good day.

My bad! Read puter as being  putter (golf)...guess I am  dyslexic

I dont know why my tablet deleted my message I didnt touch any buttons! anyway my previous message was I got a new netbook with 4 g and it works better than 3g like my tablet.
My daughter had a spinal tap today and I havent heard from her once today. not sure how she is doing tonight.
I think Carl is missing me he called me six times today.
I see the dr on the fifth tben Ill fugure when Ill meander home.

Hi everyone. I heard from hospital admissions today so my band removalset for Tuesday is a go. I have to call between 12 and 5 tomorrow to get the time. I will be traveling out of state so I hope to be able to remember to get the time.

I had already heard from another department on all I had to do prior to surgery.  One of the things was to wash tummy the night before and morning of with their special wash.  They said the surgery center was supposed to have given it to me.  I called the center to get it and didn’t get a call back.  I stopped in after a Birthday dinner with the DD and heading over to a therapy session for trying to revise to the sleeve.  They said they don’t give it to band patients just RNY.  I thought what the heck, “we all get our tummy’s cut and interments inserted even if they do something different when they get in there.  Also they had me use the wash when I was banded 3.5 years ago??

What’s the big deal with the $1 or $2 worth of wash when they charge 10’s of thousands of dollars for the surgery?  I would have just used dial if they hadn't told me to get the stuff.

I made it to my appointment with the therapist.  Told her how much pain the unfill of all the rest of the fluid was.  I had called to see if I could get something for it with going out of town for the holiday weekend.  They never got anything for me.  She told me to call them again and not take no for an answer.  Love that woman.  So 36 hours later they did call in something.

It sure is nice to have a safe place here to vent!  Thanks for listening.  Hope everybody has a great weekend.
