I hate work! Is it next Thursday yet?! Do I STILL have to go back there?

I agree!!! Work STINKS!!! Is winning the lottery too much to ask?!

Let me get back to you on the lottery thing.

As per work.... if it didn't stink, we'll all do it for free

MATILDA, MATILDA, MATILDA.....

He has done it once more people!!! OH yes baby. After leaving early yesterday due to a "silent migraine" (Mumsie, please explain that one to me); he just exited the bosslady's office in tears.

"You are devious, devious, devious.... two-faced... I am sick and you are holding it against me"

He then waltzes (more like fox-trots it) out of the office for a break. 15 minutes later, he reenters and announces

"Y.., i will NOT do any extras for you anymore, like cleaning up after events..."

And I'm thinking: you chopfkuc, it's part of your job description lazy MoFo.

I kid you not peepz, I am all about Unions and power to the people, but when said Union allows people like Matilda to hang on to a job where they don't do sh1t and cannot be fired is just fkued up

Maybe I should open a thread about Matilda's Waltzes of Pain.... something to think about....

Boooo! for late periods....

I know what you mean, I write run on sentences myself.

Silent migraine? Penile numbness of the brain. Most guys get it from riding a bicycle too long not from having a hissy fit. Matilda is a class-A1 b*tch.

I'm DYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Honestly, I feel like I could die
My throat is SO SORE...I want to RIP IT OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no wonder... running around naked in the snow waiting for an interview......
more seriously, rest, drink hot tea with lemon and honey (don't know from where i go that)

no no I haven't been running around naked just yet!!!!

That's all I've been drinking...tea with honey and neo citron (bleh!) with honey.

Sigh...I'm sick of being sick.

There's a lot of that going around unfortunately. People don't take time off when they are sick and cough everywhere. Then there are others who wander the streets in the buff for no apparent reason. Hang in therea and word to the wise: Vicks Vapo-Rub.

I know!!!
My mom was like "Laura, let me rub you with vicks, your dad swears by it"
I was like....
mom....that's okay...I'll rub it on myself thanks...LOL

Do you want really really annoys me???
When people smash cake in each others faces like at weddings...knocking over tables and the entire cake.
I *hate* that!!!
What annoys you?

Besides people smashing cakes at someone else's wedding?

Laura, when and where exactly are you getting married?

At a Three Stooges' festival?

Gargle. Salt and warm water. Horrible stuff. But it works. Hope you're feeling better today, Laura.

I hope you're feeling better too Laura! I, thankfully, am not having such a sore throat anymore, but this headache is killing me! You know what else drives me crazy? When your nose is runny and stuffed all at the same time!

OH, and SNOW! We had no snow yesterday. It was a lovely 7 degrees Celsius and NOW, there's 2 feet on the ground and it's still coming down! ARGHHH! I don't typically get scared of winter driving but when it's a white out and you can't see anything in front of you, well, then I get scared!

Oh, and it's not Thursday yet! ~pouts~

Pop swears by this and he rarely gets a cold. Get well soon Laura!!!!

I know the congestive draining phenomenon all too well. Amy, I asume you went to the gym, where lots of people, sick or otherwise, congregate. I really hate it when the ill neglect to cover their mouths when they cough, I don't appreciate it when they want to share. I was giving blood yesterday in a lab with plenty of open-mouth coughers, with my luck I'll probably get TB.

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean Mumsie. The worst part is that I actually WORK in the gym, as well as work out here. So I'm here all of the time and yes, everyone is sick and sweaty and yuck!

Man, I hadn't thought about it too hard that way before, now I'm dreading the thought of touching absolutely anything in here! ~giggles~

I'm also wondering to myself, when do you just stop pushing? When is working out when you're sick more harm than good? I'm exhausted, but feel the need to work out. I suppose I shouldn't feel guilty if I don't, but I also know I'll probably feel a little bit better if I do! ARGH! Why does it have to be so hard sometimes? (I'm talking about thinking! ~giggles~)

It's like doing heavy squats or leg presses for high-reps and then being barely able to walk. A day later, the endorphins kick in and you want to go again. If you have elevated blood pressure, have trouble sleeping or feel crappy then you're into overtraining for your current condition. If you have a cold, it's hard to tell sometimes. The only thing I've ever heard of working, is to cat knap. Get extra sleep, preferably not when you're on the treadmill , that usually helps.

Yup, that's what I've been worried about, cat napping on the treadmill! As it is, I have balance issues sometimes!

I've found myself falling asleep while on the bike though this week! Maybe I should give it a rest for a day!

Laura you might want to try these dequadin lozenges, they really work. You can get them at Zellers, Co-op, pretty much any large store. Hope you feel better soon!

NO!
no no no no no, I don't know what you are planning but NO!



Thanks hon!!!
I'm feeling not bad today...had to go to work and I was dragging my a$$....
It's bed time soon...
Thanks, I'll try it.



Thanks Amy!!!
Hope you are feeling better today!!!
HUGS!!!



Thanks sweetheart

Add this concoction to your list of healing drinky-poos, Laura:

boil water with chopped up lemons (leave skin on) and ginger.
Add honey to taste in your cup.
It's yummy and weird.
A cure all!

Works even better when you add whiskey.

Thanks hon!!!
I'm all for yummy and weird drinks!!!
Hugs

And human brains

BTW, I've tried a using hairdryer to run warm air over my face a few times and it really helps to relieve congestion and sinus pressure.

I think I'm getting sick
my throat feels funny

That's how mine started...
Sorry Liz...Feel better

Ok, so I'm having a minor day surgery thing tomorrow at 7:15 am. to prep for it, I have had to:

--drink a large shot of milk of magnesia

--not eat anything from lunchtime today, until I get home tomorrow, and only allowed liquids until midnight

--as of midnight, I can't even have liquids


I want a doughnut right now SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD.

Good Luck tomorrow Cassie!!!!
Have a big doughnut when you are done!!!!

That's the plan

Good luck with your surgery, I hope by the time you read this that you will be resting comfortably and enjoying the sweetest doughnut you have ever tasted. Bon appetit!

Oliver's f@#%^& pissing me off!

First he doesn't get home til 1:30 in the morning last night because he was hanging with a co-worker at the restaurant after they closed and talking while he was closing up..

Close-up takes 20 mins when he wants to do it normally and I know they didn't close the restaurant down at 1am on a sunday night!!

So instead I'm staying up at home waiting for him to get here!! when I should be in bed asleep!

And no call from him!
oh.. and he wasn't exactly 100% sober when he got here... I could see at least 4 beers in his eyes and he knew I'd be up waiting for him!


And today the car has to go get serviced so he's got to drop it off for 10am and I was taking a couple mins to get ready b/c
1) I'm getting sick
2) my stomach isn't feeling right.. (which may be cramps or something I ate last night....)

So I just told him that since he can't wait the 2 mins for me to get ready or ask how I'm doing ONE TIME, just GO WITHOUT ME...

Good luck with your surgery Cassie!

Good luck with the surgery, and enjoy the Donut when ur able to eat!!

Oh Sweet Liz,

If there is one person on this planet that hasn't at least thought of "killing" their partner, then they are really not human.
I mean really why are they not perfect???!!
Why don't they read our minds???!!!


I'm teasing a little...I often have thought about things like, "I really should be on my own; I am not accustomed to taking anyone into account." etc etc etc, and yet I am still here.
Challenges.
Tests.
And we rise above for a bit, and then...
hee hee.
I have no attachment to future and/or expectations that two people can be together forever. That is a loooooooong time and we all learn and grown and ebb and flow. I try to have no attachment to anything really. Life is series of experiences. Whatever lessons you don't get the first time will occur again and again. (Oh I write this for me as well as for anyone reading it.)
Know what I mean jelly bean?
I, for one, am on this path as it compelled me to be here, and off I go...for as long as we can achieve harmony and be kind to eachother....as often as humanly possible. Ha!
And remember Winnie the Pooh's quote!

Laugh as much as possible and take care of yourself first.
Do things that make you feel good.
Why?
Because if you are not in tiptop form you cannot be there for anyone else.

We are off in a few hours and it feels like the end of the world.
(I don't mean this in a "bad" way.)
Well, it is...the end of this phase...on to the next one.
Renew.
Refresh.
Update.

Capiche?






Heal quickly Cassie!

That's was actually kinda nice to read Spirit.. =)

Hope your surgery went well and you are feeling much better, Cassie.

Liz, men are eejits sometimes. What makes it even more frustrating is that they have not a clue as to why women get upset with them. They're just programmed differently. Best you can hope for is to wait and see how he handles this and go from there.

Lizeta dahlin'... men are pigs. KIDDING. I agree with what Spirit said: for some people -not only guys- it's hard to switch between "I" and "we". Takes time to realize "uh-oh, I'm married now". BUT.... you can still kick his drunken azz anyways
Not cool Ol, not cool

Cassie, wishing you best vibes and quick recovery!!!

well.. I am also a little pissy cuz I'm PMS-ing (maybe.. ) =)

But we've patched things up.. he didn't exactly say he's sorry but he's called his mom about 6 times today already to ask about little particulars about the invitations and such... which normally he would procrastinate about

so that made it better =)

and now i'm going to make him call the organist =)

Spirit's posts are always thought provoking, she's outdone herself again. My posts on the other hand...

Not all of us, some of us are azzholes. Liz, which is worse, the not calling, the inebriation, the hauling his sorry azz in waaay late or the not figuring out that you're pissed off at him.

No flowers, no candy, no jewellery, did he at least get a, "I'm a man and I royally f*cked up again, sorry about that," card? I give him credit for doing the wedding particulars though.

The organist? It reminds me of the time a nymphomaniac chased the preacher around the church and finally caught him by the organ.

Good point brother, good point.

If it were me, it would be not giving me a hug and asking how I was feeling after he'd noticed (or I'd told him) that I wasn't feeling well.

I would hope that Ol', as a human being not just a man, would be able to figure out when someone he cares about is under the weather and take appropriate action.

0 for two :........
