Older Folks and Vaping Back Porch - Part Five

[Rotowoman]

Sure have been thinkin bout this and hopin things were getting better. sorry to hear they're not. Thought maybe it was a good thing they hired someone new rather than taking someone from another dept or something. Hope the weather calms down.....good luck training the new guy

Actually this guy came from within the company. I don't really know what they're going to do, Deb, and truth be told, I'm not really worried about it. Whatever will be will be, and I will not let the "gloom and doom" set steal my joy. I will survive no matter which way the cut goes.

Roto, methinks you need to look for a new job.

WHAT? And miss all THIS fun??? In all seriousness, I would love to retire, but am not in a position to do so right now. Besides, I need something to keep me out of trouble.

 

[Rotowoman]

Welcome to all the newcomers!! I'm always a day late and dollar short when it comes to intros. Sorry

Bad night ahead, lotza pain and muscle tremors, yay me

Last stinkie 10/15/2013

so sorry the pain pills aren't helpin darlin......huge reason why I'm up most nights

Ok,
Results from stress test. I am ok, nothing new. Dr. wants to check the pacemaker. Sheesh I did that last week (phone in thing) and now he wants it checked? I smell money need. Health day at work, yes my Triglycerides are high (perhaps it was the ex-large pizza I ate last night?) Yes, I know that I am overweight, but my BMI says obese? Not true I am under tall! I need to be about 7'6"...

hehehe always remembered the not overweight, I'm under tall from a garfield cartoon when I wuz a kid. Of course, there's always my old stand by....... the doc told me to watch my weight.......so I had to get it out there where I could see it!!

The most excellent of names!

Agreed.......my son's name too

My mother got one over on them after her stroke. On about the 5th visit, when the Dr walkef in the room, she reeled off on the answers without waiting for any of the questions. I was SO proud of her!

lol I started doing that when I'd go to check in.......no....I don't have Ebola!

When my sister had a psych evaluation (as an Alzheimer's patient) she was asked to recite the alphabet backwards.

dang, I don't think I could do that without alzheimers! sorry they treated her like they did

You definitely will survive hun!!! You're right about that!!

 

[LittleBird]

Yeah! Good for her. When my sister had a psych evaluation (as an Alzheimer's patient) she was asked to recite the alphabet backwards. I practice that now, every few days. You just never know. On date and location, she was also lost. Sure, she had, and has Alzheimer's, but just keep someone in a secure facility for nine months with minimal contact with the outside. and see if any of them know the details of date and place. I was furious when I saw that evaluation, but nothing to be done about it.

I'm in deep and serious trouble if reciting the alphabet backwards is the prime determinant of my cognitive impairment!

Or, he could be like me. I don't get notifications on tagging.

Me, either. Don't even know how to turn that on. Perhaps someone should give me the alphabet test ...

Roto, this is one of the things I love about you: You are determined to be joyful!

the default is with it turned on so you should get em if you didn't turn it off

They shouldn't be do things like that unless they have a baseline on previous functioning.

jup!

 

[LittleBird]

Wowzers! The sky just went dark gray and the water is whipped up. I think we're in for a heck of a thunderstorm!

yipes, be careful......hope ya dont have to go out in it. it's been thundering here for a few hrs, posed to be a 40% chance of storms, but no rain yet

 

[LittleBird]

Got it, now. I just turned off alerts for stuff happening in threads I watch. I don't look at those alerts, anyway! Tagging shouldn't got lost in a sea of alerts, anymore

yeah I turned all the others off too, but kept tagging. so let's test it @LittleBird

 

[Ken_A]

That should be illegal! How are we supposed to hunt you down when you disappear?

Gracie has my email, and my sisters mobile number

 

[Ken_A]

I'm all at default, and still don't get the tagging. Well... At least everything that can be, is checked to notify.

that's weird, sure they aren't just getting lost amongst all the other alerts?
@Ken_A

 

[Ken_A]

Positive. I just got notified that Debadoo quoted my post, but no tagging notice

 

[Debadoo]

hmmmmmmmm that's weird. I wonder if it only does one alert, so i'm not quoting, let's try again @Ken_A

 

[LittleBird]

yeah I turned all the others off too, but kept tagging. so let's test it @LittleBird

Nope. Try tagging me without replying to my message ...

 

[Debadoo]

@LittleBird apparently that didn't work with Ken though

 

[clnire]

I also get alerts to quoted posts but not being tagged.
