I have 2 medical appointments in October.

No, it will still be Howard.

How are you liking it?

It's kinda stressful in some cases, but it is also giving me some more skills, as well as developing skills that I already have.

I could swear the topic subject would have read, BOOM CLAP no sound in my heart the beat goes on and on and on and on on, hahahalol!

Over the past few, an age degenerated condition has developed in my eyes, so now I will have to be online less often. I cannot stare at a computer screen for a time, and that includes a television screen, so I will have to watch less films too.

Oh no!  My husband has something similar called Occular Dystrophy.

Hopefully yours won't develop into something very painful.

Your posts will be missed  :\'(

Yes you could say that. I also will have to change the Pathmark signature to Stop N Shop soon.

Boo, that sucks.  Can they do anything to improve things?  I know it's not the same thing but my dad hardly needs his reading glasses since he had his cataract removed

Finally the building work is set to start on our garage. At least the guy is fairly certain he'll get the final bit of permission through in time  ::)

The employer now John who is a store manager at Pathmark, I like him but he just gets too aggravated over things.

The only standing date I got going is on the 25th  to go see the The English and Spanish versions of Bela Lugosi's Dracula.

And I'm beating the mess out of myself to finish the chapter of my story (where the same film debuts at a new theatre in 1931) before I actually go see it! LMAO .

I love movies from the 1930s.

It was good, I was a bit nervous at the beginning, the front end manager Nidia who is a sweet woman was there for assistance and helped me throughout the interview.

So, earlier today my mother was taken to the Emergency room. She had injured her chest with a chair. Thankfully she is fine now and doing better. It was a long day, but I managed to go through.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!

the front end manager said that it's mandatory for someone to be there at the orientation, Why is everything mandatory these days?

that is because they want to make sure all the employees get the information.  Also  all questions can be answered and all the expectations can be laid out!



Ever play the game telephone...  one person says Ronny has a brown rabbit.  The last person may say Bonnie hates Crown Royal.  It works in life... if you only have some people at a meeting the ones who missed may get bad information from the people who were there because they heard something wrong or didn't fully understand what what was being said.

good to know!

I will be going to a psychologists starting in November to see if I have autism/Asperger's, or not.

I want to get down to the truth. I already believe that I have mostly anxiety along with light depression. It wouldn't surprise me if I have both a mental illness and autism.

Phone rang. Usually I let Carlos answer it but since he was in the library and couldn't hear it, I got it. I noticed it was his doctor. I thought, "Uh oh. What's wrong?" I'm thinking the worst-tests came back with bad news, etc. etc. BOY WAS I WRONG (which I am very glad to be wrong this case).

He asked if we were free this Saturday and is inviting us to his house for baby back ribs. YUM. Those are the kind of phone calls I like to get.  ;D ;D ;D

How long is your sessions?

I'm so excited I could just SCREAM.  I was running errands with my friend Ebonie today and she happened to mention how we were planning to go see "Dracula" at Tinseltown at the end of the month. She said that the historic theatre in town--The Jefferson Theatre, which I just thought was for pretty downtown and not being used--would be screening horror films each Friday.

So now, I'll get to go see Psycho, Silence of the Lambs and The Shining! I only hope I get home in time to see my Jacksons, but I'm very excited about the theatre.
It's one of the old movie palaces and the interior is just GORGEOUS! Never thought I'd see something this beautiful!

When it came to my anxiety, it was 50-55 minutes on average. I don't know how long the future sessions will be though.

Never thought I'd see something this beautiful


Glad you decided to stick around long enough to see it and tell us about it. Keep doing that!

I love theaters, they are so pretty.  They keep tearing them down.  :\'(

I hate they keep tearing down places like that. But I don't think the Jefferson Theatre will go away because it's on the Historical Register, and Ebonie said she played there a few times with the college orchestra. But she never saw a movie there. And I just naturally love old stuff like it. LOL.

Unfortunately, just because it's on the Historical Register, doesn't necessarily mean it won't get torn down.  The limitations of the National Historical Preservation Act are demonstrated when historic properties are destroyed, as when the Jobbers Canyon Historic District in downtown Omaha, Nebraska was demolished in 1987 to make way for a suburban-style corporate campus. As of 1999, there have been 982 properties removed from the Register, most often due to being destroyed. 

We had a very old glass factory in the town I grew up in.  It ran from 1904 until the 70s where it hit rough times, then another glass company bought it and ran it for another 14 years before closing it altogether in 1984.  The factory had been put on the National Preservation Historical Register the year before it closed in 1983.  The factory was turned into a museum for awhile, but never really did much.  It was finally razed in 1995, and a grocery store plaza (named after the factory) was built on the land.

I'm not sure. I'm in kind of a smallish town and the "rich" families kind of hang together to preserve the old buildings like that because most of them are still in the families that built them. One of the main attractions is the McFaddin-Ward house that was built in 1906. And it's still in the Mcfaddin-Ward family. They give tours of it, I went when I was 12.

If there was any faith in humanity, they'd get rid of the goddamned John Jay French museum. I also went when I was 12 and it was miserable. It's a house like the one the Ingalls live in on Little House on the Prairie...but in TEXAS. With TEXAS heat and TEXAS skeeters so big they look like Buicks with wings! IT's not good to have a bunch of 6th graders taking with heatstroke and west nile lol .

When my step-son was with the Boston Ballet, we saw them preform at the Wang Theatre. I was blown away by it. It was the most gorgeous theatre I have ever been to in my life!

Jeff if you make the drive to watch a film in the Arlington (it's just 35-40 minutes and if you take time to get lunch and or dinner too it's totally worth the drive).....  Anyway...if you do ever watch a film in the Arlington make sure you look up during the movie. The alveoli get looks like the sky!

Divine!!  :)

Boy, What an exhausting 5 hours My Father And I had at the orientation for the grand re-opening for Stop And Shop which they are having their grand re-opening on Friday the 16th. It was basically a whole load of papers to fill out and watching a slideshow about the rules and regulations of the store, that was basically it. Tomorrow morning My Father And I have to go back again to show them my passport and Social Security card for them to make copies and put it in their files. That's basically it for now, I will know my new schedule tomorrow morning.

Are there any new rules?

Are there any rules that changed or went away that you're happy with or sad to see go?

Agony knows no other like agony knows me.

I went to the dentist last Tuesday with pain in one of the newer crowns. The x-rays didn't show
any problem so he figured my bite was just a bit off. He ground down the crown and asked how it
was. The stabbing pain was gone but the ache was still there. he said that was just residual soreness
that should ease after awhile. He said give it a week to ten days and see how it goes.

A week to ten days my ass, it didn't last ten hours; a torturous stabbing pain sent back the next day.
He said, "No doubt about it, you need root canal." "We don't do that here. so take this prescription
for antibiotic and pain killers and call this number to make an appointment."

I have to wait until Monday morning. Wait in shear agony with what amounts to a baseball on the
side of my face for relief.

The only upside to this week in agony is that my tooth is no longer cold sensitive and because I can't eat
solid food, I lost 5 pounds.

I sat under a tree and meditated for two hours (with a 20 minutes break in between). It really helped my OCD. I think I'm going to continue meditating, but in less big chunks than today.

A few of the rules that I got from the orientation was that:
*employees who are part timers should take a 15 minute break before clocking out
* employees should wear the company colors and slip resistant sneakers
* When employees want to buy something, consult the front end manager and always save the receipt.

Oxycodone but it only last for about an hour. The antibiotics are working, the pain isn't as severe as it was
but I still cant eat solid food without discomfort. Only a couple more days.

Be careful taking Oxycodone. That stuff is nasty and highly addictive.  I guess I'm kind of lucky because I have such a low tolerance to ANYTHING. (I get drunk on one or two glasses of wine-yeah, I'm a cheap date. lol) They never have to give me anything super-strong because a little will knock me out. When I had my wisdom teeth out, I developed dry socket (very painful) and they gave me Tylenol 3 with Codeine and I was in Lala Land. One time they put me on Valium and my poor cat, I rolled over on top of her. She was screaming but I was totally out of it. This was when I was married to my first husband and he had to pull the cat out from under me. She never slept next to me again after that. I take just an Ibuprofen and I sleep like a rock.

I am trying to be. I don't like taking medication at all and with me being in recovery I am really not supposed to take anything
mind altering but I had a choice, a true dilemma, suffer in agony or take the pills. I chose the pills but I do take them sparingly.
only at night and only when I really need it. To make matters worse, my back has been acting up as well; seems to me that pain
is normal.

Thanks Cat, I feel really bad for my wife she has to put up with me. She has been an absolute saint through all this,
I owe her big time.

That is definitely a good idea.


Yeah, I'm going to the lake again. There are tons of trees there, and I'm meditating again. Probably not 2 hours though. I'm going on Monday.

loki

I feel your pain.  I had a tooth that the dentist filled that gave me trouble ever after.  Repeatedly ground down and different fillings tried until I ended up having a root canal done.  Of course it started hurting on the Sunday of a holiday weekend so nowhere was open to get a prescription for pain killers.  I was taking maximum dose of over the counter stuff and was still in agony.  I can remember pacing the floor of the kitchen, supposedly cooking a meal, but just thinking about how much my tooth hurt!

hugs and a hope that the antibiotics are sorting things out

One more week till my birthday!! :D

I feel your pain.  I had a tooth that the dentist filled that gave me trouble ever after.  Repeatedly ground down and different fillings tried until I ended up having a root canal done.  Of course it started hurting on the Sunday of a holiday weekend so nowhere was open to get a prescription for pain killers.  I was taking maximum dose of over the counter stuff and was still in agony.  I can remember pacing the floor of the kitchen, supposedly cooking a meal, but just thinking about how much my tooth hurt!

hugs and a hope that the antibiotics are sorting things out


Thanks Karen, Today it feels a lot better. I had the root canal done this morning and as of right now
there is only minor discomfort. They gave me a stronger antibiotic to take and another pain killer but
I don't need it yet, let's hope it stays that way.

So now I think I'm finally able to do certain tasks of my job position well, that is without too much trouble. However it is still a new experience for me, and I'm taking it all one step at a time. I am still asking questions, but I have a feeling I will enjoy the job more and more.

I remember it took me roughly two weeks to get used to a job once. But it depends on the situation. Your job sounds like, to me, very detail-oriented so it may take the same, or more weeks.  :)

that's all you can do, just learn and ask questions every day.

Had an appointment this morning and then ran some errands. Normally, I wouldn't post such a trivial thing but what made is so unusual was the fact that Mother Nature was in her splendor. I would say it is pretty much peak right now. I'm sorry I didn't bring my VERY NICE camera with me but I had my small camera in my purse. (I always carry it-you never know when you are going to need it.) The pics are still in the camera. I may bring them up the computer soon and post some.

Yep...and even after I do something, I periodically need a little refresher.

Yes it is very detail-oriented indeed; I have been in it for almost a whole month and I am gradually getting accustomed to things.

Spent this past weekend with my sister and aunt, they don't live here. We did some catching up and talked. It was nice!

I always wanted to do a leaf trip to New England.  Maybe when we come back to the United States.

In other news:
Tonight, hubby and I went to a local watering hole and played Name that tune - 70s and 80s version.  We won a $25 gift card to the watering hole.  So that was satisfying.  :)

Over the past few, an age degenerated condition has developed in my eyes, so now I will have to be online less often. I cannot stare at a computer screen for a time, and that includes a television screen, so I will have to watch less films too.

I'm sorry :(

Be careful taking Oxycodone. That stuff is nasty and highly addictive.  I guess I'm kind of lucky because I have such a low tolerance to ANYTHING. (I get drunk on one or two glasses of wine-yeah, I'm a cheap date. lol) They never have to give me anything super-strong because a little will knock me out. When I had my wisdom teeth out, I developed dry socket (very painful) and they gave me Tylenol 3 with Codeine and I was in Lala Land. One time they put me on Valium and my poor cat, I rolled over on top of her. She was screaming but I was totally out of it. This was when I was married to my first husband and he had to pull the cat out from under me. She never slept next to me again after that. I take just an Ibuprofen and I sleep like a rock.

I know all to well about addictions.  Oxy is very powerful.  I recommend anyone getting started on anti-depressants and physical pain meds to take as the doctor prescribes only.  Stick with that even if it feels like you need more.  I'm not saying anyone here over-takes.  But I go through this personally.  That's just a piece of advice from me anyway.

I am trying to be. I don't like taking medication at all and with me being in recovery I am really not supposed to take anything
mind altering but I had a choice, a true dilemma, suffer in agony or take the pills. I chose the pills but I do take them sparingly.
only at night and only when I really need it. To make matters worse, my back has been acting up as well; seems to me that pain
is normal.


I hope you'll start to feel better soon. 

Hello everyone.  I have much catching up to do on here.  Unfortunately I don't have much time these days.  But I am going to at least try to get on and socialize with you all as I've really missed this place. 

So far this month I have done the usual.  5 days a week I work days at a home construction store.  My hours are close to the same every day I work.  I take care of my SO when I'm off as he has trouble getting around.  I rarely have anything going on.  But a couple things have happened with work.  A party at a bowling alley to celebrate a bonus that I don't get yet since I haven't been there long enough lol and I have a small one next week for my department specifically.  No big deal but I do get paid for attending these things.  I do have the holiday off at the end of the month but I don't have any plans.  I don't go to parties or dress up I just really enjoy everything about it and love to have the entire day free!

I've been writing some parody's at Am I Right and think on Halloween I'll hook my spider doll to the back of my shirt if I go anywhere or do anything.  Fall is also planting time here in Modesto Ca.  I'll probably plant some seeds.

That sounds like a fun costume idea.

What kind of things do you plant in the fall?  I'm afraid I' not very knowledgble about growing things.

Going out to dinner tonight. Normally, we would be going out on the 18th, but tonight is the last night because tomorrow the restaurant will be closed for the season.


And yes, it is a special occasion.

I never have anything in particular planned, but I have some Purple Cone flower seeds ( butterflies might eat them) and I have a hibiscus in a pot.  I have a Lantana ( butterflies might eat them) in a pot and another hibiscus in the ground.  Did I mention that I love butterflies? 

I hope you'll start to feel better soon.

Thanks, I do and I just realized that I never did give an update.

Last Monday was my root canal. They drilled right through the crown to do the procedure.
Afterward they gave me a stronger antibiotic, Ibuprofen 800 and more Oxycodone. The
doctor said that after the numbness wore off I would be really sore and that I should take
the medication. Strange thing, after the numbness wore off there was very little pain and
definitely no need for medication. The only thing I am taking is the antibiotic, the pain meds
are put away for the next crisis. Hopefully there won't be one.

Yup. When we were just about finished with the meal, the owner asked us if we wanted wine for there or to go. I said that I prefer to it to go (since we were almost done). She asked us what kind. Carlos said he liked Merlot & I said that I like Pinot Grigio. She came back with a FULL bottle of Merlot (I was expecting one of those mini bottles). She said that they didn't have a full bottle of Pinot Grigio (since she was closing for the season she didn't stock) but she gave me a FULL bottle of Brut champagne.  :o :o :o :o  She also bought our dessert which they had a candle in it and the entire staff sang "Happy Anniversary" to us. Of course the owner announces to everyone that we had our reception there.


EVERY year, the owner does something like that-but this is the first year for 2 FULL bottles-usually, it is a small bottle of champagne-and we get our dessert on the house. She is always good to us which is why we keep going back-not to mention that the food is WONDERFUL. Never had a bad meal there and never went home hungry. Just the opposite. I usually get home uncomfortably full-with enough food for another meal.  :P Whenever we have people from out-of-state come to visit us, we always take them there (if they are open). My one complaint is that they are not open year-round. In fact, they aren't open on my birthday.  :\'( :\'( :\'(  But, a couple years ago, I had my BIG birthday party there-and it was nice that they weren't open because we had the place to ourselves.


Unfortunately, the place is on the market.  :\'( :\'( :\'(  It has been on the market for a few years now. Who knows what will happen when it sells.

Going to get this paperwork sent today even if there are mistakes.  Then going to my meeting.  Afterwards I need to stop by the store.  This week will be a crazy one.  I work really early a couple days which I'm fine with but usually starting at 8 is easier for me for what I need to take care of. 

Next week will be a normal one.  I am off on the weekend for the holiday though I am not doing anything but I just have to always have this holiday free since its my favorite part of the year.

Just a quick note to say I am due to a specialist later this week, and I am wearing sunglasses indoors, due for the glare from sunlight, the television and the room lights.

Wishing you the best, always.  You certainly are missed around here.  I hope you get promising news and something can be done for your condition.

As for me: I've begun packing (clothes, so far) and I had no idea that I had sooo many clothes.  At first it was hard to choose what I might need there.  Mostly I chose lightweight clothing, short sleeves or no sleeves, nothing too fancy.  I will have to see the limits of the checked bags and then measure and weigh it (and will probably have to edit (again) my choices.  :\'( )  But it'll be ok.  Being a woman of size, I don't imagine that I would be able to find many clothes off-the-rack in an Asian country to fit. I don't particularly want to have something custom-made.  So, we shall see.

I am SUCH a hoarder, and clothes seem to be my weakness, so do the worse first, and go from there.  We may end up getting a storage locker, may end up selling some of it.  Not sure yet.

I *think*, right now, my hubby and cat will fly over in early November, then I will move in with my parents  :-\\ :-\\ until the next payday and fly over to meet them.  That way I can spend some time with my family, say goodbye to the town I grew up in and maybe some friends from back home.  I think I will definatly be ready to leave soon after.  :P ;D  Start my adventure. 

I need to set up a computer for my parents, so that it will be easier and cheaper to talk to one another.  Plus they now call me anytime they need something off the computer, if I teach them to do it themselves, and they have something to do it on at home... I can feel less guilty about leaving.  somewhat.  :-[ ;)

Wow. November. That's soon!!! 

Such a big step. I'm excited for you.

Btw. If you have a smart phone. And your parents have a smart phone look into the whatsapp app. It's a free text app that allows you to text to someone in another country for free.  My mom
Uses it for texting family in holland and Suriname

Me neither.  :)  I had to be away for a couple months last year when I was taking care of my mom (when she had her heart attack and also when she was in the hospital away from home, she insisted I go with her to show my dad how to get to the hospital from the hotel.)  It was a fairly stressful and I was only a couple hours away from him at the time.
