I have 150 units...I think that translates to about half that in minutes if I'm not home.
I just didn't know if I had to do anything special to tell the phone it's roaming. Guess not?
I have to go and get my wife at the hospital, where she is getting a catscan.
I expect that I will be around for a bit tomorrow, at about this time. Bye for now!
I don't believe you have to do anything special for the phone to know it's roaming. Mine sure knows when it is! ;o)
Always good to see you LCS. Even in a hurry. You and the Mrs. will be in our thoughts and prayers. Stop by when you can.
"Just signed up for AAA. Should have probably done that awhile back, but it let me print out a temporary membership card, so I guess I'm OK. Bit pricey all at once, but it works out five dollars a month or so...that's not bad at all!"
For the past 10 years or so i've driven older cars and AAA has paid for itself every year, be it when I needed a tow for a bad alternator or the flat tire, dead battery or (swallow my pride) the one time I've ever run out of gas.
I bought a membership for my son last year and it's paid for towing when his fuel pump went out.
Stormhand's family update.
The bathroom is painted. Whew! I was puttin' textured paint over textured paint and it worked best to use a brush. Took a lot longer than it should have. Letting it dry until tomorrow before I put hardware back up just in case [shudder] it needs another coat.
Luke is better. He finally threw up. As I suspected he was sick on candy. Even tho his tummy hurt yesterday and he didn't want to eat, he apparently kept eating candy. He finally threw up. It was all chocolate. We saved it in little baggies fer next Halloween...
Nana's recovery ~sounds like~ it's gonna be a lot slower this time. She didn't injure her arm in the fall. Apparently it was an effusion with the IV (is that the right word 2J?). Basically the IV was backed up in her arm and the ID bracelet was acting like a tourniquet.
What's bad is that the nurses didn't do anything about it last night. They ignored it until the doctor came in this morning. Um...yes...the Mrs. made a few calls.
OT - welfare rodents got my suet fer the birds again...
ROTFL!
Have you tried cooking with iron pots and pans?
Oh, LCS - she'll be in my prayers, I promise. I only wish there were something more that I could do.
I have good news! I got my nerve up and asked the professor and he's agreed to be my advisor! We're going to talk tomorrow about what possible areas of research I might want to be in.
Whew! I'm so relieved, and happy. I was scared he'd say no and I'd have to go with the UML researcher professor, booooring.
My pre-paid minutes phone charges double for calls outside my roaming area...but since I don't make a lot of calls anyway, it doesn't bother me so much.
Dang, sorry tree-rats!
LSA, OB...got to watch Dr. Z's birdfeeder yesterday. How come he didn't get any bushy-tailed gray "birds?"
Mine doesn't have a roaming area. The charge is the same here or anywhere in the country.
No packages today, Rosie!
Her IV infiltrated. Came out of the vein and started pumping into the surrounding tissue. This can be not that big a deal (long-term wise, I mean...it is uncomfortable) or it can be a devastating thing, depending on what was being infused. Saline will just absorb right into the tissue and go away in time. D5W (sugar water) will too, but not as readily...if it's chemo, you can loose your arm...which is why chemo generally goes through a central line. (Right into a main vein in the neck or threaded way up the arm.
I do! Probably 50% of the time, anyways. Guess I should up it to always.
Great news!
I didn't get my shot. I have 72 hours from the time of the injury which was last night. I just ran out of time between school and Latin.
I'll go in the morning.
Yes, indeed!
It seems to work for me!
'Course I like beef so maybe that helps too. Don't take iron supplements and I've never tested anemic.
Whatta Dad!
