Unfortunately Isaac's still a bit flighty in Sharing 490

Sorry, Dude, she is BOTH cuter and has more hair.

Morning, all. One day closer to the weekend.....

[sunlight]

Mel... What did your parents have to say?

[MelodyB]

Not much.

Basically asking me when I was leaving. When I said Monday, dad said "good! You can help us pack and move!" I said "NOPE. I'm packing MY STUFF. And I barely have enough time to do that...y'all don't want my help anymore remember? And I don't do anything but be lazy anyway...according to you, so I can't help you. Sorry".


That was the end of that. I'm not dealing with it. They wanna say I have been lazy and didn't help them, then that's exactly what I'll do.

They got a one bedroom apt BEFORE I made my decision to leave. They told my cousins NOT to allow me to come back...so ok, you wanna play that game...deal me in.



Monday Monday Monday....I get out of this hole on MONDAY.




Is it Monday yet?!

[Lynx]

Wow. Um... Well...

On the other hand, I remind myself that I don't know her parents, so I don't know... They might very well warrant such a reaction.

*Isaac shuts up, sits on his hands and awaits further developments.

Why would you set someone who is doing there best to avoid sleep because it triggers cluster headaches up for a sleep study? I might be sleeping 1-2 hours a day right now. I get a call telling me I am all setup for a sleep study. Sometimes doctors make no sense!

Well if you are getting the headaches during sleep - wouldn't it make sense for them to monitor you DURING sleep to see if they can figure out why?

Nope, cause the study has nothing to do with the headaches. It's checking to see if I need a CPAP mainly just cause I'm a big guy. I don't snore or have many of the other symptoms of sleep apnea. This is the third neurologist determined to diagnose me with sleep apnea and get me on a CPAP machine. They need me to sleep for at least 1 hour uninterrupted to get a decent result which isn't going to happen while the headaches are happening. It's just goofy to me.

[MsJennJenn]

So don't go!

[taco_harvell]

Under the insurance I have right now I have no choice. If the doctor sets it up and you don't go they will drop you from the program. So I have to go. Seems like a waste of my time and their money though.

[MsJennJenn]

Well maybe they'll find something. You never know!

[SippinTea]

Re: packages in the mail for Mel.... I'm with Jenn - I know nothing. Err, I'm NOT with Jenn, and I don't know anything. Err, I'm with Jenn and we both know nothing. Err..... errr...... nothing..... just..... nothing. 

Mel - Your reply to your parents - THAT was one of the very first times I've ever known you to actually say NO and stand up for yourself. Congrats, my dear.

(Isaac, under normal conditions I wouldn't think responding to one's parents that way would be a good thing. But Mel's parents aren't normal. And the situation isn't normal. And with said parents and situation being what they are..... I'm thinking it was probably the only effective way of dealing with it.)

Taco - that does seem weird, but.... maybe God will use it to somehow help you find some answers. We can hope/pray.

[Chseeads]

Not only does that seem weird, but you all seem weird.

[taco_harvell]

Just spent the last few minutes texting another lady from my work who was verbally attacked by the boss today. I am asking y'all to pray a very specific prayer. That GOD will either save this man or shut his mouth. If GOD can shut the mouths of lions he can cause this mans mouth to be shut every time that anger rises up in him. Also, pray my wife and I find new jobs soon.

Sometime d-d-during the night the t-t-t-t-temperature dropped a lot.  I woke up shivering.  Not my favorite way to start the day.  If it's cold, let it be cold.  If it's warm, let it be warm.  But please don't change the game that much in the middle of the night. 

[Roscoe]

At work. Gotta go to a funeral for a coworkers mom.....I hate things like that, but I remind myself it's for him. Then- on to the regularly scheduled, much anticipated weekend!

First day of school. My first class got canceled so I'm sitting in the student center hanging out until my next class. I love my new laptop but hate Windows 8. Anyone use it and have an suggestions to not hate it so much?

[The Purple Fuzzy]

so tired of this sinus drainage making me cough

HeatherB: The main problem with Win8 is it tries to be a tablet on any machine.  Microsoft is looking ahead to the day when everyone has a touchscreen, but in this case they looked too far too fast. 

Try googling "things to do with Windows 8" for some good lists of things that will make Win8 more tolerable for people who stay on the desktop most of the time.

Or perhaps you could go into detail about what exactly you don't like about Win8?  It's hard to make recommendations without knowing what to make recommendations about.

[Heather]

After sitting down with someone at school today who helped me walk through to get to just what I want to do with my laptop, it is tolerable and I'm kinda getting the hang of it.

Have finally applied to another job. 45 minutes one way in my beast of a car 3-4 days a week is not good. I'm going through roughly 110 bucks per week just in gas.

Mel-I am still so excited for you!!!

[Roscoe]

 Made it through the day, even though my leg started giving me problems again.  Got my W2 printed off and the taxes done, with the exception of my state tax- they haven't released the module for that yet, but are supposed to tomorrow. Played on the ham radio a bit, came in and played two games of Skip-Bo with Lou....now I'm vegging.

[SippinTea]

Did Lou win?

[MelodyB]

Thats what I was wondering.


I went to the storage place today and got all MY stuff out of there. Wow. I didnt know fat girls could climb over and under and thru so much stuff in such tight spaces...but I did it. LOL

Went in to talk to the manager who I had been witnessing to, to tell her goodbye and all, and she gave me a phone! Yay! Its a small square LG touchscreen Andriod prepaid phone. Uses net10. So Im gonna get a $50 unlimited card and see how it works for me. Until I get a new Iphone, this will have to do. At least its touchscreen and has apps.


Heather...ME TOO!
