I just re-joined FR and I would like to post to my local NC state board but I am not able to. How do I get the ability to do that?
Vanessa Hudgens was in the Disney tv series “High School Musical.” There was a minor flurry over nude pictures of her, but it dissipated, as such things do.
Jeez...I don’t know why I didn’t get the truck smogged last week. Now I have to get it smogged AND registered on Friday, along with everything else I do on payday.
It looks like I’m going to spend this summer eating Benedryl, as the wind is blowing again today. My eyes were so itchy last night they cried without my urging.
My BP is coming down slowly, but one thing I’ve learned...the BP cuffs in the doctors’ offices will cause my BP to rise exponentially, and my arm will turn reddish blue. But will the techs listen to me? So I will take my own cuff when I go.
I read about a bio-feedbak experiment once where they hooked people up to a BP monitor that would ring a bell everytime the reading went from below a certain value to above that value. They offered people $5 for every time the bell rang.
There were people who learned to just make the bell ring constantantly.
It might not be their cuff. It might be your response to having your BP measured there.
It’s having my BP measured with an automatic cuff. Instead of stopping if the BP is “high” it will deflate partially, then inflate again and each time it does that, it gets tighter and the BP goes up. I had one give me a bruise around my arm, but the medicos wouldn’t take it off. Then a doctor came in and told them to use my forearm or my calf.
I told the last techy that, but he just readjusted it. I ripped it off my arm. Stupid helper.
Sometimes the medico community forgets that it’s YOUR body and THEY are there to serve YOU. Maybe they get confused on the pronouns.
Reminds me of the old ST-TOS episode where Dr. McCoy was trying to convince some woman to want her baby. He said, “Say to yourself, ‘The child is mine. The child is mine.’” She replied, “Yes, it is yours.”
I know how that works...
Good idea.
I see what you did with your tagline. You put in a couple of $50 words, trying to trick us.
It’s translated from Polish.
THAT was the trick! LOL!
You know how difficult it can be to translate word-for-word from another language, especially an unrelated one.
Oh yes....
For some reason, I seem to be a little uptight this morning; could be because I’m dreading Friday, what with the smog check and all. I’m hoping I can do the registration online again, but I can’t even check until I get the smog test done.
And Busdaddy wants my clumsy, dizzy self to come over and help him with the engine and transmission if his other friend doesn’t show up this week.
Dang. *shudder*
Maybe you can tell Busdaddy that you’re not well enough.
rofl
I would feel compelled to go. He can’t put the engine and transmission in by himself. That job needs at least two pairs of hands, if nothing else, one pair to stabilize the engine block while he is moving it into the correct position.
I just checked DMV, and the site computer told me I couldn’t register the vehicle online until I got the smog test, so that’s a relief: I don’t have to go stand in line forever! YAY!
” Dipping string cheese in catsup didn’t do a thing for me.”
That sounds bad..
I like string cheese (70 calories) but I only use ketchup for cooking — meat loaf and sloppy joes specifically!
” but I only use ketchup for cooking — meat loaf and sloppy joes specifically!”
Same here.
YAY! Kindred spirits!
You rock!
