  1. So the doctor called in a bottle of antibiotic that cost $170 for Grace. Yeah, that's not happening. Not sure what to do now. Can I call the doctor's office tomorrow and say, "Apparently you read the last name on her chart wrong. It's not Walton, Hilton, Trump, or Gates. We need poor folk antibiotics."

  2. Super busy jam-packed day, so I got up at 2:30am. At least I've been able to be productive :)

  3. Why does my profile only have one star? I don't think I've said anything mean or hurtful or...

      Well, it's not a one star rating anymore...

  4. It is wonderful how the house seems bigger when some of the kitchen moves out of your bedroom.

  5. Back from follow up appointment for amblyopia. Vision is improving, but DS5 needs to continue patching -- likely until he is 6 or 7. He is seeing around 20/40ish at the moment, which is good, but will probably never be a pilot.

      Keep at it. The best results come with long term effort, but, boy, is it hard. 20/40 is very good. Feel free to PM me if you ever need encouragement.

  8. Bread, glorious bread! . . . A young man, close friend of our family, sent home two large loaves of bread with my son when (son) returned home last evening from a visit. Breakfast toast today never tasted better!

  9. Orthodontist sticker shock. I think I need a drink.

      You had something to hide

      Should have hidden it, shouldn't you

      Now you're not satisfied

      With what you're being put through

      It's just time to pay the price

      For not listening to advice

      And deciding in your youth

      On the policy of truth

      Clearly you are asking "Who can it be now?" too often.

  12. My son has clogged the toilet for the zillionth time and the plunger is nowhere to be found.

      I have watched youtube videos for plunging tips. Sigh. It's times like this I miss those camping style toilets where there is no clogging possible.

  13. I will no longer buy used books from amazon. I am sick of the misrepresentation of the condition of books.

      I should say, I don't consider it a giant gamble because there is supposed to be accountability.

      Complain! I have gotten some misrepresentations or wrong editions, but the sellers seem willing to refund/replace/partially refund. If they won't do anything, they know Amazon will. But I sympathize.

  15. I really hate it when Amazon sellers cancel an order and relist the book at a higher price. That's just cheating!

  16. Don't sell me chocolate that's really horse meat, please.
