Love or Opportunity? Coffee Social

BAHAHAHA

Ohhh he was just being a jerk. But he apologized and I told him if he stops being a butt head, I'll buy him a sonic burger when we visit and he agreed.

But I also told him if he puts me on speakerphone again, I will be one very. pissed. off. Krista. SRSLY!

(He put myself and my husband on speakerphone, I kept trying to explain I couldn't hear him and he just kept talking louder until I hung up on him)

Oh dear lord...don't even get me started on the sheer primal hatred I have for speakerphones - especially when an inconsiderate boob on the other side has all kinds of BACKGROUND NOISE going on.

A few years back, I made life much simpler for myself. I told any and all people who want to call me, that they will have to do so on a land line. I refuse to play the "what!? I can't hear you! Can you repeat that?" game with people on cell phones while they're driving, and with morons who put me on speakerphone while they have blenders and vacuum cleaners going on in the background. If you want my undivided attention, I expect the same from you.

And what happened with you, moonshine??

All this crying and bawling and sadness around here...makes me think I'm gonna have to pack all y'all into a plane and ship you down to Disney World for a week.

OOH OOH WILL YA?! WILL YA?! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE?!?!?!?!?!?!

... Yes I'm 24 and badly wanna go to Disney World...

Speaking of football and crying, M showed me a page with all the Superbowl ads. I saw the Budweiser one with the baby horse and I totally lost it. M was on Skype going, "Why are you crying, what's wrong??" I bawled my eyes out for a few good minutes.

I'm still absent from work and I went to see the doctor today. I had to get a vertebrae series xray (Can't remember exactly it was called) to see if it's my scoliosis worsening and to rule out arthritis. And then she gave me meds. Yes, I could have an old people ailment and I have to take old people meds at 23.

Don't feel bad. I started having arthritis in my hands when I was 16. The doctor told me then it was a type of 'growing pains' arthritis and would go away when I got older. Not sure what he defines as older, as 15 years later, I still have it. Not to mention, I was done growing by 14.

If it does turn out to be arthritis, should I be worried? In your case with your hands Amikety, was it like a constant pain, and did you have any treatments?

No, I have a less common form of arthritis that I can't remember the name of. My joints are stiff all the time and hurt occasionally, but I've never had to take anything for it or do anything special. The most I've ever done is stretch my fingers.

One of the guys that worked for me had arthritis in his spine. The biggest effect it had one him - he couldn't stand in place for long periods of time. Occasionally - I'd say 2-3 times in the two years we worked together - he had some back pain and couldn't lift. Most of the time, though, he was fine. We sold flooring, so we were always moving heavy boxes of tile and wood.

Good morning.

What is with all these tears??? It must be something on this thread because we all seem to have been down recently. I think Tuyen needs to come in and work his magic!

I hope everyone has a better week and that the sun is shining for all!

I cut the roof of my mouth on a lollipop last night.

Ignore the part about being an adult with a lollipop. They were on sale.

*huuugs* I have arthritis in my foot that was broken last year. Was told I won't have arthritis until I'm older, but I experience pain once in a while when it's cold/raining out.

And here comes the Grandma comments

hahaha..
yeah I feel like an old grandma too! I have some arthritis in my knee, elbow and hands and I'm like the old people in shows that can "feel a storm coming!" I'm always shocked by how screwed up being a "grown up" is! I'm like an old person when it comes to my joints but I still have to deal with pimples! It's not fair!! I should be in the whole best part of being an adult but for some reason I always feel like I'm 80 or 14 never 28 like I am!!!

Oh dear, my doctor said something like, you might have this rare, rare kind of arthritis that young people can get. Let's hope it gets rules out with the x-rays. I was totally the whole time.

So far with my scoliosis I find that I can't hold any position for extended periods of time. If I'm seated, I have to get up and walk, you get the idea. Can't wait 'til Thursday. And I hope the results are good.

I have scoliosis too actually, but mine is only 14 degrees. It "isn't supposed to hurt." Hahahaha.........

Thanks Mrs P! *hugs back* We can be Grannies together

I can't remember how many degrees mine is. With that plus my bad posture, the radiologists can't decide whether I really have it or not. I have cxr's done with my annuals, and some years I have "mild scoliosis" and some years I don't.

Funny thing this morning, the radio tech was having trouble positioning me for the x-rays. Aside from my slow movements, it hurt extra to move my arms up and such. We were a funny duo. He also had to straighten my torso a few times because of my horrible posture. Apparently I lean sideways a bit.

But Sir...

I quite enjoy a lolly pop at work here and there.. so I could never judge!!
