Infected gall bladder, and it spread all over. They will remove it in weeks and she'll have the tube draining it the whole time. Blah.

I'm watching it now, Group competition. What group is the terv in? They say this is live. Right? Yes, you should. ;):lol:
Herding group. But since the Belgians seldom place in groups you dont see much of them. Only the exam. I hope I am proven wrong and Leslie and Judge at least place! Yes groups are live.

Nothing will make me clam up & walk away faster than someone demanding that I expose my life story on command. Ain't happening. That's not even interesting conversation.

[shrugging shoulders] I just felt like it when I shared all of that. I don't believe yiddle demanded it.

I had tonsilitis so bad that they had to put me on antibiotics for 2 months before they could take them out. I remember one night throwing up blood.
Oh, yeah, I forgot that little tidbit from my elementary years. I forgot how old I was when I had my tonsils out. I kept having strep throat all the time, so they had to go.

Surgery went well, and one of my neighbor friends came up to see me while I was still in the hospital. She brought along a can of those bubble peppermint candies, the kind that are soft and melt in your mouth. I was all happy until I took a sniff of them and promptly threw up.

To make the torture even more proper, Mama cooked the Sunday after I got out of the hospital. What did she cook, you ask? Fried chicken and french fries!! I begged, but I couldn't have it. That was one time ice cream just wasn't cutting it

Ok, so took the batteries out, located the foam and tightened the screw... its charging just fine pass-through is working, and the battery indicator is now only off by .04v at its highest difference. Keep in mind that no chip is perfect... and IMO... anything at the hundredth of a volt is pretty pointless too.
good job!!

Oh, my friend Michelle was released from the hospital today and is at home! Yes, not a rehab center. She is doing better than they thought she would. Praise God! :)
oh praise the Lord!! That's fantastic!! Thanks for the update sweetie, good to see ya too!

saw my good friend Leslie and Judge go BOB in Tervs.
awesome!!!

Ok everyone..........pleaseeeee no results for the groups......unless you put it under the spoiler tags. I've got opening night set to record tomorrow, and closing night set to record on Wednesday.

Fried chicken and french fries!! I begged, but I couldn't have it. That was one time ice cream just wasn't cutting it
Oh now that's torture!

Believe it or not, I still have my tonsils. I think I have had strep maybe once but, I did have a terrible case of mono in high school. We passed it around between two couples. Bob Johnson and I swapped girlfriends over the course of six month so of course all four of had it in succession. Thought I was gonna die!! ;) Bob and Cindy broke up. I dated Cindy for a while before she went back to Bob. After she went back to Bob I dated the girl he had been going out with, Lenni Dobrow. She was a pretty little jewish girl with rich parents. Believe it or not Bob, Cindy and I have remained friends for years but, Lenny fell off the face of the earth. She was a hotty, went back to see her after I got out of Navy "A" School and she answered the door in a Mumu and had a mustache. Terrible to say it but, Sure am glad I didn't end up marrying her. ;) Damn, haven't thought about that in twenty or thirty years! :lol:
However, even today I am the king of sinus infections. Just got off a round of antibiotics for one yesterday.

I didn't say she did. Your post was great, Roto. That's how it should be, spontaneous, & when you feel like it.

HI, Kenna. Hope your having a nice night.
As you can probably guess, I'm having a little trouble getting to sleep. I'll go try again here in a little bit. I've actually been doing a lot better lately. :) I've found that if I time the taking of my meds to avoid any at bedtime I normally fall asleep with just a little difficulty. :facepalm:

I went thru the same thing! But it didn't take anything for me to throw up. Got home, Mom made fried chicken, mashed potatoes & gravy, biscuits & english peas. I favorite meal at 8 years old. But I was fine with ice cream & jello. Especially since no one else was getting any because it was all I could eat & Mom didn't want to run out! [emoji1]

I just took mine. I have to set an alarm so I can be sure & get up & be awake to go to the RA Dr & then run a couple of errands tomorrow. I spent a couple of hours on the phone with my daughter tonight. We talk until one of our phones dies & then go get the other phone in the house & keep talking. I've got to research Rheumatologist for her. I've thought for several years that she may have RA, too but she keeps putting off going to a Rheumatologist. So I'm going to do the research & get her an appointment & make her go during spring break. Her son also has an immune system thing. And they are both putting off doing what they need to do about it.
Anyway, I'm catching up on threads before I turn in. Rest well, Mattman! I, m glad you got your meds figured out!

Damn, now that I got thinking about that time period.... I got my first traffic ticket driving Bob's car. He had a Gremlin and I burned tires for about half a block leaving a stop sign. :rolleyes:Looked in the rear view and saw a cop about three blocks back flick on the lights and start coming for us.:shock: Took off like we didn't see him and turned the next left, spotted a house with the garage door open so pulled in and slammed the garage door. You can tell it was a long time ago because we didn't get shot. Don't think anyone was home. In those days you didn't even lock the house when you went somewhere. Sat in the car not making a sound for about 1/2 an hour. Great, we got away with it!:banana: Rolled up the garage door to leave and the cop was sitting on the hood of his car eating his lunch and waiting for us.:nah::lol: Made us pull the car out and park it on the side of the road. Arrested us both and took us to the police station. This was in Ormond Beach, FL. Called our parents and made them come get us. Gave me two tickets, one for reckless driving and one for driving without an accompanying adult. I was 15 years old at the time and only had a learners permit. That required a licensed driver over 21 in the car with you and Bob was only sixteen. I think they gave him a ticket too but, I can't remember what for. Went to court and got probation. Go my azz beat at home so that was worse. Also think they restricted me for a month and said I couldn't hang out with Bob. That didn't work because he started going to church with us on Sundays so, of course he was considered a "good kid" then. We were all pretty much juvenile delinquents back then but, it was nothing like it is today. We all were really basically good kids, just did a lot of typically stupid "kid stuff."

Ha! The first manual transmission I drove was a Beige Gremlin! Belonged to the not-the-husband.
I'm ready to turn in. G'nite y'all!
