I know, people come up and start talking to you like they are
your best friend, call you by your first name. I am thinking
like crazy trying to remember their name, yikes.

I know, if you saw the ad, you saw what he specializes in???
I hesitated posting this because of that.

Makes ya crazy, doesn't it?? Or I will be telling somebody
something and then get to the last word of the sentence and
go blank --- drives me nuts!!!!

But I know that guy from somewhere, maybe he worked in the prison
system when I day way back when or one of the hospitals I did
a long time ago. Just annoying, grrrrrr.

Welcome to the site. Join in the forums so people can get
to know you and make some friends. Take care.

That ad that keeps popping up for that ARNP, Dave Holt, I know I have run across that guy somewhere in my past. I have worked in the medical system for 27+ years, and worked in the prison system for 17 years. I just can't remember where I ran into him.

It has been bugging me for a couple of weeks now, just annoying when I know I have seen someone, but can't remember where. Do you have things like that happen to you??

I think I will tell my daughter I want the new Rascal Flatts song
"No More Goodbyes" -- I love that song and the video is awesome. She already knows where to spread my ashes.

For my dad's funeral we played "When I get to Where I am Going" by Brad Paisley and Dolly Parton. It really was an appropriate song and went over quite well. The words do really fit a funeral.

I think the majority of the people on her are "real" or "genuine" but there are also the "players" who are out to use people. You have to be really careful and go really slow with anyone you talk to, there certainly are scammers around.

I have been on this site 3 years this month and have made some fabulous friends, have been played by a few not so nice people, but for the most part, I like this place and come here to talk to my friends daily.

You should go out into the forums and post and meet some of the regulars, make some friends that way. Welcome.

I had always heard they were Mormon, didn't know this. Also hadn't heard they had changed the date again. I heard they had a special casket ordered, that was part of the delay, waiting for the casket and that they were burying him on his birthday at the end of the month. No idea that things had changed. So sad for his children.

My daughter is scared to death of spiders, most bugs actually. Remember when she was younger and in the shower. Heard a blood-curtling scream and a crash. She saw a Daddy Long Legs up in the corner, just hanging there, she about killed herself getting out of the shower. Heck, she was probably 16 or so at the time. I told her it wouldn't hurt her, but she will freak if she sees them. Now that she has kids, she has had to "man-up" and kill them when necessary. When she was younger, she would do "smart things" like throw a shoe in the general direction of the spider and run the other way. I know, real smart move. Oh well, "some people's kids, dang."

Yikes, don't think I will invite your spiders over for snacks.

HOpe she is careful with the wasps, and also doesn't develop any allergy to the stings. She sounds like a great kid.

Not all nursing homes are bad. Sorry about your aunt.
My dad was in our local one, one month short of 2 years, and
he got excellent care. He was too much for me to care for
at home anymore. They really did a good job for him, some of
them got really attached, had about 8 of the staff show up at his
funeral, he was like a 2nd dad to them, they said. I know he
felt like some of them were like 2nd daughters to him.

I know some homes are atrocious, we got lucky with the one here.

My daughter was into earthworms and salamanders.

Granddaughter played with "potato bugs" (don't know what their real name is, look like those little silver armadillos) and snails, she loved the snails when we moved here, and ladybugs too.

Grandson is into newts so far.

I had heard that Daddy Long Legs were one of the most poisonous spiders but their mouth was too small to bite you so they were actually harmless. We used to play with them when we were kids, let them crawl on us.

This actually is what the sucker looked like, only it was actually bigger than this picture. Last time I saw it, it was heading north, towards Highway 101. Probably heading for Seattle and some fun night life.

Sunday is Lex's birthday, since he is on midwest time, it is now officially his birthday.

Please join me is wishing him a "Happy Birthday!!!!"

Lex, I would sing happy birthday to you, but you know,
the dogs would start barking, the goats would start
baaaaaa'ing, Llary the llama would probably spit at me
and you know I DON'T like llama spit in my hair .
And the police sirens, the noise would be deafening,
so I will left you off the hook with just a pleasant -- Happy Birthday!!!

I hope this year brings you much joy and happiness. Take care.

Oh yeah, the eastern side of the state, the desert, heat, snow, rattlesnakes, hobo spiders, heat, snow, tumbleweeds, heat, snow, brown, lots of brown. Okay, okay sorry, it is pretty in its "own way." If you like "HEAT!!," I loved the snow, but not the HEAT!!! The mountain passes are gorgeous, saw a lake with wild turtles, that was cool. It is pretty too.

That is true, I think people forget how much the pharmacists know and what a good resource they are. I talk to them anytime I have a question. They have our records in their computers and can answer our questions quicker than a call to the doctor's office usually, unless it is a presribing problem. People do eat vitamins like candy and they are finding many of them are not doing what they thought. I type for doctors and have heard some of the docs say in their notes that the research has shown that some of the ones they thought were helping are not, like CO-Q10 isn't helping like they thought it was, and red yeast rice isn't helping with cholesterol like it used to, so there are lots of changes. People need to ask and not just believe everything they see on TV or read in an ad.
