August 05, 2006 - Msg 43783: Hey porch. Here I go being needy again. I want to ask for prayers. All week my hubby has been struggling with Bell's palsy. The right side of his face is paralyzed, and he's taking all these medicines, one of which is steroids(prednosone) that are making him a BEAR! It could take weeks to go away, and his fuse is so short, I don't know if we can take it.
Also, as many of you know, we're waiting for results of last week's scans, and the tension is palpable, to say the least.
Here's the kicker. I'm always telling women to do self breast exams, it'll save your life. Well, one of my girls at the restaurant, 32, finally did(she never had before) and found a lump. She has surgery Monday to have it removed. Her name is Robin. Any prayers for her are greatly appreciated.
Sorry to be such a downer, this stuff is just on my mind alot, and I thought prayers are my best way of helping the situation.
Thanks in advance, porch friends.

Next, you asked how many germs we can pick up from public computers. Well here is some information that may surprise you:
Charles Gerba, a microbiologist at the University of Arizona, counted bacteria on different surfaces found in offices and homes. The study was funded by The Clorox Co., which sells household disinfectants. Gerba found that office toilet seats had an average of 49 germs per square inch. Germ counts on computer keyboards were more than 60 times higher, averaging 3,295 bacteria per square inch. Even worse were the tops of desks (at 21,000 germs per square inch) and telephones (at 25,000 germs per square inch). Makes sense, doesn't it? Toilet seats get frequent cleaning with strong disinfectants that kill germs. Keyboards and mice may never get sanitized.
To Goober Msg 43770, thanks for reposting your link. This time it works. When I clicked on your READ link, your biography has a problem. The photo covers part of the text on the right hand side. As an example, in the first line, the last word I can see is "businessman". In fact, only the bottom three lines of the text are not covered by the picture. I'm confused about the music links on your site. Are you singing or are the people listed with each song doing the singing?
To Millie Msg 43783, regarding your husband's Bell's Palsy condition, is his fuse being so short a side effect of the drugs or is that his frustration dealing with the disease? I'll remember him in my prayers. Also, I'll try my best to make it over to Sarah's between 9 and 9:15pm eastern tonight.

Thanks again for your prayers. Today was a much calmer day. Hubby took the kids this evening to Bass Pro Shop so I could do the dishes and many loads of laundry. We got our pictures made today and I'll be sending some to Romeena. They turned out really well. Hubby said he'd never wear pink, but now he loves the shirt!
Today when going by a local church, their sign out front said TGIF- Thank God I'm Forgiven. Isn't that the truth? I mean the thought of not knowing that God is in my heart and I, along with hubby, will go to heaven is just the most satisfying feeling. God forgives when you ask. Its right there with fleece and mashed potatoes as far as comfort.
Millie- I'm praying for your family and your friend. Y'all will get through this. Put your trust in God!
Poor Horatio- When my stepkids leave I will try to stop by Sarah's. I don't have the time when you're on.
I believe there were others I wanted to speak to, but I can barely keep my eyelids open. I'm trying to get my body ready for school starting in a week, so early to bed, early to rise is my new saying. I hate it!
I'll write more tomorrow. Y'all have a fun Saturday night and a mellow Sabbath!

Well, just finished episode # 3 of "The Dick Van Dyke Show"! Very funny, but the charecters are still raw and havn't broken in yet.

"Three's Company" is comeing on in 2 minutes, so I better catch that. I don't really like it that much, but John Ritter is funny, and Don Knotts is in it. Not one I'd bye on D.V.D. but good to watch on TV. Crissy annoys though (the blonde one).

Spot, so sorry to read about your co-worker's passing. Very sad indeed to be that close to retirement. I had a co-worker whe retired after 35 years of hard work, only to pass away 4 months later. He had been looking so much to his retirement.

That is a good thought Colt, about seeking Gods council on what is most important to do today. We have to remember God's way is not man's way, and to seek his guidance in such matters is one thing, to be obey them is quite another. That's where we so often get into trouble. We seek, we hear, but then do not obey what God leads us to do. Boy, I'm preachy this morning, ain't I? Sorry, don't mean to be. I don't cotton to preachiness as a rule, unless I'm seeking it out. That just seemed to roll off my keyboard. Maybe someone needed to hear that (myself included). Sermon is concluded!

Boo, where you be? Hope all is well.

The kids are still asleep, so I thought I'd check in. Its already hot here and its only 8am. This has been the hottest and for us pretty dry summer for some time.
Rev- I'm glad you were with your family this weekend.
Asa- Problem with lap dogs is hubby hates what he calls "yappy" dogs. Do you know of any certain breeds?
Colt- My saying is, well if the pot ain't calling the kettle black. I actually said that yesterday to my stepdaughter when she was acusing her brother of doing the same thing she had done just a few moments before.
I'd better get a few more things done before the kids awake for their breakfast. Y'all have a good day!
Blessings to you and yours,

I will take care of lunch: grilled chicken sandwiches, sweet potato fries, cole slaw, tea or kool aid and peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies for dessert. Lunch between 11:30 and 1:00 so everyone can come. see you there. Big Maude
August 07, 2006 - Msg 43849: good morning lucy. big maude- that lunch sure will hit the spot. i'd better enjoy lunch cause with oil disruptions in alaska and iran saying they'll shut oil off if sanctions are imposed this month, which will make even foodworth more than our currency. colt
August 07, 2006 - Msg 43850: Good morning everyone. I hope that y'all had a good weekend.

MILLIE: Prayers for you and your family. Remember that our trials are opportunities to hone our faith.

BWB: What I meant by my statement about hating to admit that ASA was right had nothing to do with what I think of you and everything to do with the fact that I hate to admit ASA is right. I almost always post from work, which means that I post on the weekends only very rarely.

LUCY: Veda is starting to do more than eat and sleep, and will actually stay awake for short periods throughout the day. In the last few days she has gone from waking every two hours at night for feeding to every three hours. The Mrs. is ready to throw a parade. Hopefully, Veda will take after our other two (we were blessed that Nora was sleeping through the night at two months and Chad at three). Thanks for asking.

Yeah, BOO, where are you?

And while we're at it, how's it going AFD? Check in already!

ROMEENA: I'm forwarding a picture of the new bundle.

Talk to y'all later today.

M-T
August 07, 2006 - Msg 43852: I'm right here, guys. Just been really busy this weekend. Relatives visiting, laundry to catch up, etc.

Lucy, the doc didn't say much about the meds. This doctor is what's called a Psychopharmacologist (big word) for children and his is supposed to be really good, he seems very nice but kind of nervous or something. He nods his head alot but doesn't say much. Mostly he just agrees with whatever I want to do, which can be good and bad. I decided to keep Sean on the paxil at 5 mg at least until he gets settled into school and the doc agreed, basically. I really believe that the Lord led us to where we are right now but sometimes its hard to drive all the way to Houston just to have some young doctor nod at me. My son calls the doctor a "bobble head" because he nods constantly. I told him not to make fun because he might have Tourette Syndrome or something. He really does seem to to have some kind of anxiety thing going on, but like I said, he is very nice. When he first came into the examining room to see us, he went to sit on the edge of the desk and accidentally sat on the phone and turned it on with his bum. I of course had to say, "Ha, look, you turned the phone on with your bottom!"....he didn't laugh and I got the feeling he was a bit embarrassed (me and my big mouth). Oh well...

Speaking of doctors, I have my annual physical today (sarcastically: "yippee"). At least I have already had the "waffle iron".

I'll check back later,

Boo
August 07, 2006 - Msg 43853: Hey folks, we have internet up now so I may be able to come here more often. I say "may" because I still have a lot to do to get this house in order. It's amazing how much junk we have. And this is after throwing out, or giving away, half of it already. I guess you never really realize how much junk you have until you have to move it.

Boo, I'll presume by "waffle iron" you mean that mammogram thingee. Am I right? Being a guy, I'm not too sure. ...I mean, I'm sure I'm a guy, but... well, you know what I mean.;)

Hey Colt, how about "because I said so" as a saying.
I've been using that one alot lately. :)

August 07, 2006 - Msg 43854: STERLING: Don't worry, a lot of people seem pretty mixed up about what they are nowadays ;). I'm right there with about "because I said so." I've been using is so much lately that now when I ask my three-year-old son to do (or, more typically, not do) something he often aks, "Because you said so?"

Good to hear from you BOO. Just a thought, though...you mentioned that Dr. Bobblehead is supposed to be very good, but it sounds like you're setting the plan and he's collecting the check. Besides the fact that you can't write your own prescriptions, it sounds like you may as well cut out the middle man. Or at least shop around for a new doc. Just a thought.

Me-They
August 07, 2006 - Msg 43855: Good Morning Everyone!

Boo, I don't know what advise I can give you. I wish I could help. All I can say is, good luck with your physical test!

Sterling, I know what you mean by it's amazing how much junk you have. I just did a Garage clean out, and Oh my! It's insane the thing's that you find out you have laying around.

Me-They, I guess yet another Hey to ya!

Colt, I have no idea what episode Aunt Bee played someone else. Was it in the pilot episode?

See ya!

Oh, one thing. Do any of you make homemade milk shakes? I love makeing homemade milk shakes for breakfast. Sort of like a protean shake, with eggs, milk and I add other healthy flaverfull stuff to. They are so good! They taste just as good as anything Dairy Queen could mix up, and they are way healthier! I reccomend makeing them, to kick off your day!

Lunch is on me today! Yesterday was Subway, so how about we head over to Quiznos for a sub?

See ya!

August 07, 2006 - Msg 43856: Good morning, everyone! Haven't read the archives yet, but just wanted to check in. I got home from Fredericksburg last night, tired, watched a little TV and hit the sack. Slept late. Opening mail and email today. Me-They, Veda's picture is now in the album. She is adorable, folks, you need to check her out. Big Maude, I got your picture, too, and it's there now, too. You don't look a thing like I'd pictured you, but then very few of the porchsters do. Do you want your picture sent back? No trouble, if you do.

Our project is rolling along, folks. Keep those envelopes coming. I need to wind everything up by Friday, as I'll be leaving town again, won't be back until the 21st, and hate to leave it hanging that long, you know? We're going to be fine, I've heard from fewer than half of those who said they'd participate, and we're almost halfway to what I think we'll need, so I think we'll be just fine. If anyone wants to participate but can't get it here by Friday, just email me, I'll put it in myself, and settle up later. I'm so happy about this!

Had a great trip to Fredericksburg. Met my grandson's new rescue pup - little black mixed-breed named Little Bit, very sweet. Also his rescued white rabbit, found along the roadside, now fat and happy and named Mr. Fluffers. My daughter's Golden Retriever is now fully grown, at least 80 pounds, a big old love-sponge, and totally intimidated by the Plum. One little growl, and Whoozit backs right down. Hilarious! I've never seen such huge paws, forelegs like baseball bats, and she can bruise you with her endlessly wagging tail. When we first arrived, the Plum was terrified, ran and got up on the back of the couch behind my head, heart racing. Whoozie wanted to play, of course, and pursued her. The Plum finally gave that little growl, Whoozie immediately backed down, and you could just see it dawn on the Plum! Ha! She's a big chicken! I'm in charge here, apparently. She hopped down off the couch, marched right straight at Whoozie, who stepped aside to let her pass, and went to the food bowl, which is hotly-contested territory in that household. Old Snickers, the other dog in the house, rules all, but she was napping elsewhere at the time. So the Plum stationed herself beside the bowl, and stared Whoozie down. It was just too funny. The Plum is about the size of Whoozit's head, and she ruled.

Well, got much to do. I'll read archives later, and see how everyone's doing. Got bills to pay right now, before the mailman comes.

August 07, 2006 - Msg 43857: To Boo Msg 43852, check this out for a psychiatrist's opinion about psychopharmacologists.
As for your description about the psychopharmacologist that your son is being treated by, I am concerned. Why do you claim he is really good? Is it because he agrees with your ideas for treatment? Who is really the doctor here, you or him? Are you paying him just to write out prescriptions?
Since you do have concerns, and rightly so, I would want to know more about his credentials. Ask him to show you any board certifications. Is he a credentialed member of the American Society of Clinical Psychopharmacologists? You might even want to verify his medical license to see if he has one and to see if it's active. Or ask around some of your nursing friends about him. Nurses have a way of knowing or finding out information about doctors that the ordinary patient can't. I have first hand knowledge of that since my sister is a Registered Nurse.

To Deputy Warren Msg 43855, I also love milk shakes. I would love to create a healthier equivalent that tastes the same as Dairy Queen. I just don't want all of that sugar. Do you use sugar or a substitute. And please post a recipe for me.

To Romeena Msg 43856, welcome back from your mini-vacation with relatives. Just to let you know, I'm still in Canada and hoping to return to the US sometime later this week. I hope you understand what I mean ... wink wink.

Spot,we needed ya last night- lightning hit a transformer near a church and also knocked 3 poles down. We were without power for over 3 hours. Luckily,it wasn't extremely hot as it has been. Those summer T-storms are something. Oh,Spot,you have my sympathies on the loss of your co-worker.
Boo,you sound as if you relish your annual checkup as much as I do! I recall once I was all geared up for mine,only to get there and find out it had to be rescheduled! Thanks for calling me,you know? I wanted to get it over with!
Y'all,there might be a breakthrough concerning all this mess that's going on with my mom. I found out through my sister(not the wicked one) that my mom has NO idea that I was told by Wicked sister to stay off of the property and thinks I have abandoned her! I wrote her a letter that explains exactly what was said to me by my sister and the policeman. If my mom chooses to believe the truth,then we might stand a chance. Regardless,I feel better knowing that I have told her the truth about this mess.How one sister can be so nasty is beyond me-tearing up her family for her own twisted reasons. I'm gonna be ok,no matter what.
Well,better go check on Laci.She's about due to wake up from a nap.
Y'all have a good afternoon!

My recipie is like this :

A tad of Milk, not to much, but enough to get blender blending.

5 Large Scoops Of Vanilla Ice Cream.

2 eggs.

1 "Nestle" packet of "Instant Breakfast". Your choice of Flavor.

4 shakes of Chochlate Ovaltine.

_______________________________________________________________

The "Instant Breakfast" is like a quik powder you pour into milk if your to rushed to make a real breakfast. It contain's Carbohydrate, Protein, Vitamins and minerals. It also contain's Prebio1, an active ingredient that helps maintain normal digestive functions.

You'd be surprised how flaverfull they really are! That's why add them to my shakes, to give it a nice flaver, but it's healthy to. I add Brown sugar or White Sugar, or substitutes to it.

The Ovaltine basicly dous the same thing. It contain's 4 essential vitamin's, and Iron.

If you have any more questions, I'd be glad to answer them for you!

Still praying for your situation POSSUM. That sister doesn't look like old Ben Weaver, by chance?

COLT: I loved "Emergency!" as a kid. That alarm would sound and I'd run to the tv. I recently found out that the actor who played Dr. Kelly at Rampart was married to Julie London who played nurse Dixie. And, that she was the real-life ex-wife of Jack Webb, who produced the show and also produced "Adam-12." Also, I read recently that when "Emergency!" debuted, there were only twelve paramedic units in the entire U.S. One of the reasons for the rapid expansion of the EMS programs were that people came to expect the kind of quick, on-the-scene treatment that they saw on this show. Interesting, huh?

AS far as "Adam-12" goes, I caught it a few times as a kid, and enjoyed it a few years ago when TV Land played it. I wanted to watch it more, but my dad was a police officer and refused to watch "cop shows" until much later in his life. And, like many families in the 1970s, we had one tv and when dad was home, he controlled it. Frustrating at the time it may have been, now that I have kids of my own I kind of like the concept.
