JoJosMom Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Cardiologist report: this doc was a major answer to prayer. He was appalled at the lack of communication from the previous doctor and apologized profusely even though it wasn't his fault. Dd's heart issues are both benign and don't appear to be the cause of her symptoms. He advised that we go to a pulmonologist next. He explained things thoroughly and took a lot of time with us. And he got my sense of humor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Good news! Hopefully he is referring to a talkative pulmonologist who will have answers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lana, what did you do? we just finished the curriculum. Well, it's technically first grade curriculum from CLE, but we call her a kindergartner so she can remain with her cohort as she goes through Sunday School and Awana and will likely be with these kids in Christian High School. Anyhow, she just finished the Light Units and that was it. We still have a few more lessons in spelling. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why would you be eating lunch there?? Isn't the Flatiron building in New York? Susan, are you there as well? Jean wins! Her prize is an awesome cardiologist! Dh had to have meetings in NYC, so dd18 and I tagged along as a graduation present. The company he works for has access to free and super cheap tickets to stuff here so we get to do all the things. Not all, but several. Bubble tea is tea with these sweet-tart tapioca balls. You drink it through a super thick straw and then chew the tapioca things. It's quirky but yummy. I hate doing this on my phone. Might have to get ahold of dh's laptop. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 So SIL texts us that MIL has been misplaced. FIL told her that she was no longer in the skilled nursing unit and did we know where she was now placed? All of us here rolled our eyes and Dh asked her if FIL might not be confused. Moral: don't take the word of someone with Alzheimer's. MIL is right where she is supposed to be.

Susan in TN Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Laptop is not going to work. 😑 So dh took us into the building to introduce us to some people and show us the view from the rooftop lounge. If you can imagine a frumpy comfort-sneaker-wearing middle-aged mom in the most cool-infused office you've ever seen, then you have a pretty good picture of my afternoon. 😠Very nice people, really. We went to the 102nd floor observatory in the Empire State Building. NY is an amazing city. Once we figure out which train to get on, I like taking the subway. Many pleasant and unpleasant smells wander the streets. I'm exhausted and hope I don't keep waking myself up drooling. :ack2: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luuknam Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Page 128: I had my first baby at the end of July. I was due in August. Bad idea. Then I had two October babies. Went through the summer in Texas pg. Bad idea. I had a baby in August in Texas (where the high is 100+ for at least 3 straight months every summer), AND I spent the entire month of the June immediately preceding that living in the un-airconditioned attic of our fixer-upper (the downstairs didn't come with a floor). I'll agree that was a bad idea. Sometimes I wonder if I overheated the poor baby. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luuknam Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 (edited) I should write a book. Rachel's Earth Friendly Parenting: Where Eco-Terrorism Meets Common Sense, by someone who isn't a hippy, but dresses like one. So, since it's been almost 2 years, I'd like to know, how do I order this book? I'm pre-ordering it today. Though that name in the title is freakin' me out. You are SLASH, or maybe SLACHE. Who the h-e-double-hockey-sticks is Rachel? :confused1: :D Thank you. Duh. I see Mrs. Mallard and JoJosMom haven't read the entire thread. Or at least failed their quiz. She explained the Rachel-Rache-Slache thing many, many pages ago (which is also why Slache is mispronounced - I vote that we solve this by pronouncing it Slash, and then changing the pronunciation of Rachel to be like Rash-el).

It's not finished.Slache. Well then, hurry up and finish it. I dither about how to pronounce Slache, since you said it's supposed to be like Rachel-Rache-Slache (so, kind of like Slage?), but Slash makes so much more sense. So, basically, whatever I feel like. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renai Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 (edited) This evening I took Gymnast to a theater audition for Bible Alive Theater. She had to sing a song; she sang "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star." I was sitting in a chair in the front of a very small room and she stood beside me and did the sign language with me while she sang. She gets soooo anxious trying to anticipate what is going to happen, then does fine once she gets started. She ran upstairs to her sister when done and said, "That was SO embarrassing!" :lol: They give all kids some part, even if not a speaking part, lol.
