Did it hurt? I get really paranoid about mine coming out and not knowing it, but I don’t really understand how they can sneak out in the first place. Sorry though, that’s really uncool.
“You’re remarkably healthy for someone so sick!”
Gee, thanks?
Day One of testing to get on the transplant list is done. They said to bring my support system, so Mom and TheKid joined. They spent 90% of their day sitting in the waiting room, people watching and annoying each other.
Oh, we also had a metric shit ton of snow overnight, and I’m not quite comfortable driving my new vehicle in ‘weather’ so Mom drove. I suggested be over by 630 to be there at 730… she was here at 6.
Just came in from shoveling, I’m physically and mentally exhausted, I just want to go to bed.
Times like this when I’m really glad I live in an apartment with underground parking and ride the bus to work.
15 minutes until I head home from work and I hear that the interstate is closed for a hit and run. The part that’s closed is a choke point that had bad traffic already:mad::mad:
Why do groups of teenagers hang out in the metro (subway) stations after school? They just stand there inside the stations, in everyone’s way, doing nothing but talking to each other. Can’t you guys find somewhere better to hang out?
Wait, what? They plan these things in advance? :eek:
You know, I think they do, actually, at least in Los Angeles. Along one of the freeways out here, there’s a permanent sign that says: “Accident Investigation Site.”
How do they know there’s going to be an accident there for them to investigate?
Bank of America has sold my mortgage to Nationstar LLC, which appears to have a very shitty online payment service. :mad:
James Patterson, you’re a hack. You know what a hack is? Somebody who writes/co-writes fifty-four bookssince 2008. There’s a reason why Stephen King called you a terrible writer - it’s because you’re a hack.
But you’re even worse than a hack - you’re an idea thief. What is more pathetic than an already-popular author ripping off another author’s style, Mr. Patterson, as you did.
My little girl brought home your “Middle School” book and I couldn’t believe that even a hack like you would be so goddamned smarmy as to steal another authors shtick. And you couldn’t even steal a decent author’s ideas - naw, you had to aim your hackitude at the 5th grade set, because you know the kids don’t care that they’re reading second-rate crap.
But I do, so fuck you, you fucking hack.
That’s a club I can live without being a member of. 
There are signs in various places I’ve seen that say, “High collision location - follow too close,” or “High collision intersection - strictly enforced,” that give me pause, too - so, you are giving us advice on how to have a collision here, and strictly enforcing what? No collision, get a ticket? Weird.
Ah, memories of Miami. Every day, 1/3 to 1/2 of my coworkers who needed to take US1 would be late, depending on where the daily crash had taken place. It’s a pity CSI wasn’t on yet, maybe we could have [del]bribed someone for[/del] obtained some CSI IDs that would let us zip from South Miami to the Beach in half an hour flat.
Nice going, Evernote. Word was out as early as Sunday that you got hacked, and I got an e-mail on the subject 9 hours ago, over 24 hours AFTER I went in and changed my password anyway? And, BTW, the ONLY item I had on your system was the welcome message anyway.
Aaauuugggghhhhh.
Back story: been trying to have kid #2 since last May. Had two chemicals. Got progesterone. Now I am technically pregnant and taking progesterone, but my test lines aren’t getting darker and I wish I was feeling more symptoms. Doctor is out of the office and doesn’t seem in a rush to order any kind of tests for me, which is fine, they wouldn’t change anything anyway, but it does make this paranoid pregnant lady feel sulky.
And we’re leaving on vacation tomorrow. So I’m packing my progesterone, my cheap pregnancy tests, and ALSO sanitary pads and tampons, because god knows what’s going to happen. I’m basically planning to miscarry while on vacation. Isn’t that nice?
Ummmm … hope you have a nice vacation anyway?
From experience, pack painkillers, too. Naproxen is my miscarriage drug of choice.
Do you know the numbers from when you got the first test back? If so, phone the doctor’s office and ask for another test to see if your numbers are increasing as they should. They might be able to do that without an appointment.
I haven’t even had a first test, so there’s no opportunity for a beta progression at all. Boo. Sulky lady is sulky.
I don’t want to make you paranoid Sattua, but based on what you’ve said about the tests not getting darker, just bear in mind the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy and don’t delay going to the ER while on vacation if you have any pain. Speaking from experience here!
Thanks Cinnamon Imp, I’d already read up on the warning signs. One bleak ray of dreary gray light is that I’m probably too early for an ectopic to make itself known on this vacation. Just 4wk 1 day today. I keep telling myself that the tests will probably make a big jump in another day or two; I had squinter-shadow-are-they-evaps for three days before they got just dark enough to be definite. 36 hours without change now. I am overreacting, right?
I pit non-helpful people who seem to think that my opinions of my own life/lifestyle/health/hobbies/job etc. are rubbish. They are either always willing to pitch in with unneeded and inapplicable advice or turning my thing into something that is about them (I’m looking at you husband dear). I am not pitting men in general, but in my case it seems to be the men in my life who are the most annoying about it. For fuck’s sake folks, I’m nearly 46 and I have managed to life my life quite successfully so far without your ‘help’. Shut the hell up and mind your own business.
Oh hell, Sattua, I hope it all turns out fine and it’s just that the pee tests suck.
