Oh, that's so great! Bless you for that!

I've always wanted to take a class for cake decorating.
But I decided it was cheaper just to be jealous of others.:cool2:
 
Wow Mls! That is fabulous!

You surely do have a gift. Well done! :thumleft:

Holla MLS! I was a cake decorator in a previous life. What did you make the gnome out of? Love the painting!
 
Gosh that reminds of how Sarah picked up Rachel as baby. Poor Rachel had to stay in a play pen for her own safety.
 
That reminds me when my son picked up a kitten and was ringing it by the neck.
I yelled stop but my hubby was laughing to hard to be of any help.
 
Cute photo!
Well my aunt is visiting me from Miami - so nice to see her, it's been 28 years since I saw her.
Then she drops a bombshell - she's just got over c.diff :yfaint:. Apparently she was really ill with it, however the doc must have given her the all clear to fly.
Do I have to worry at all about Andrew? She has stayed on Flagyl to cover herself for this trip.
 
Gosh!! :eek: I don't know if you need to worry about Andrew but, for peace of mind, I would call the GI's office and get their thoughts. If they have concerns, you can take precautions right away; if they are not concerned, you can simply enjoy her visit! :)
 
Hey Sascot,

The normal recommendation is that once someone is free of diarrhoea for 48 hours they are able to resume normal contact with people. I would imagine if your Aunt was given the all clear to fly she must have been free of diarrhoea for at least that period of time.

I would probably err to caution though and ensure that hand washing hygiene was up to scratch with everyone and if you have more than one toilet I don't think it would be unreasonable to ask if she would mind just using the one whilst the rest of the family used another.

I hope the stay goes well and you all have a fab time together. :)

CONFUCIUS DID NOT SAY...

Man who wants pretty nurse, must be patient.

Passionate kiss, like spider web, leads to undoing of fly.

Lady who goes camping must beware of evil intent.

Squirrel who runs up woman's leg will not find nuts.

Man who leaps off cliff jumps to conclusion.

Man who runs in front of car gets tired, man who runs behind car gets exhausted.

It takes many nails to build a crib but only one screw to fill it.

Man who drives like hell is bound to get there.

Man who stands on toilet is high on pot.

Man who live in glass house should change clothes in basement.

Man who fish in other man's well often catch crabs.

Finally CONFUCIUS DID SAY. . ....

DON'T EAT TURKEY SANDWICHES, NO MATTER WHAT!!!

A little boy and a little girl attended the same school and became friends.
Every day they would sit together to eat their lunch.
They discovered that they both brought turkey sandwiches every day!
This went on all through the fourth and fifth grades, until one day he noticed that her sandwich wasn't a turkey sandwich.

He said, 'Hey, how come you're not eating turkey, don't you like it anymore?'
She said 'I love it but I have to stop eating it.'
'Why?' he asked.
She pointed to her lap and said 'Cause I'm starting to grow little feathers down there!'
'Let me see' he said.
'Okay' and she showed him. He looked and said, 'That's right. You are! Better not eat any more turkey.'

He kept eating his turkey sandwiches until one day he brought a peanut butter sandwich instead.
He said to the little girl, 'I have to stop eating turkey sandwiches, I'm starting to get feathers down there too!'
She asked if she could look, so he showed her!

She said, 'Oh, my God, it's too late for you!
You've already got the NECK and Giblets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
:ylol::ylol: Very good !
Well everyone, I am off to Germany this evening to go to my cousin's wedding! Very excited although it has been made slightly more stressful since Andrew is unwell with a cold (I hate leaving them when they are sick) and we also have fracture clinic for him this morning.
After assuming Andrew's sore finger was just a sprain I took him to A&E on Monday. Well bad mom here!!! He has a fracture and a mallet finger - the tendon has torn away with a bit of bone so his finger can't straighten :ybatty:
Now he has to wear a splint for 6 - 8 weeks and even then there is no guarantee because it was over 10 days since it happened. Feel awful!
 
Have a good time at the wedding...:cheerss:

:ghug:...Sorry to hear about Andrews finger....
sometimes its hard to know whether something is serious or not. I hope it heals properly.
 
Have a GREAT time away!! Just enjoy yourself - you deserve some carefree time! :D

Hope all is okay with Andrew! Bad mom here too... daughter sprained ankle at soccer once, coach put one of those disposable icepacks (which are usually only cool-ish) directly on her skin and wrapped it securely. At home, hubby and I kept telling her to ice it (with a cloth barrier), she kept complaining it's red, it hurts... we said, 'no kidding, you sprained it! If you want to play soccer, suck it up!' :lol: The next day, my mom offered to take her to Emerg, I thought it was a waste of time but, whatever... turns out Em had frostbite!!! Poor thing! That disposable pack was obviously much more potent than usual and having been put directly on her skin had caused the initial frostbite and we worsened it by telling her to keep icing it! I felt terrible about it! :( Years later, she still reminds us of that incident! :D

No worries while you're away... just have fun! ;)
 
Have an awesome time Sascot, don't feel guilty theses things happen. It is hard to know when an injury is minor or not sometimes.
 
Have a wonderful time and safe trip Sascot! :):):)

I don't think it is very hard to overlook these type of things hun, particularly in view of what you have been dealing with. :hug:

Anyone who has ever thought of exercise as fun should be horse-whipped!

A WOMAN'S WEEK AT THE GYM:

Dear Diary,

For my birthday this year, I purchased a week of personal training at the local health club. Although I am still in great shape since being a high school football cheerleader 43 years ago, I decided it would be a good idea to go ahead and give it a try.

I called the club and made my reservations with a personal trainer named Christo, who identified himself as a 26-year-old aerobics instructor and model for athletic clothing and swim wear. Friends seemed pleased with my enthusiasm to get started!

The club encouraged me to keep a diary to chart my progress.
________________________________

MONDAY:
Started my day at 6:00 am. Tough to get out of bed, but found it was well worth it when I arrived at the health club to find Christo waiting for me. He is something of a Greek god with blond hair, dancing eyes, and a dazzling white smile. Woo Hoo!!

Christo gave me a tour and showed me the machines. I enjoyed watching the skillful way in which he conducted his aerobics class after my workout today. Very inspiring!
Christo was encouraging as I did my sit-ups, although my gut was already aching from holding it in the whole time he was around.

This is going to be a FANTASTIC week!!
________________________________

TUESDAY:
I drank a whole pot of coffee, but I finally made it out the door.

Christo made me lie on my back and push a heavy iron bar into the air then he put weights on it! My legs were a little wobbly on the treadmill, but I made the full mile. His rewarding smile made it all worthwhile. I feel GREAT! It's a whole new life for me.
_______________________________

WEDNESDAY:
The only way I can brush my teeth is by laying the toothbrush on the counter and moving my mouth back and forth over it. I believe I have a hernia in both pectorals. Driving was OK as long as I didn't try to steer or stop. I parked on top of a GEO in the club parking
lot.

Christo was impatient with me, insisting that my screams bothered other club members. His voice is a little too perky for that early in the morning and when he scolds, he gets this nasally whine that is VERY annoying.
My chest hurt when I got on the treadmill, so Christo put me on the stair monster. Why the hell would anyone invent a machine to simulate an activity rendered obsolete by elevators? Christo told me it would help me get in shape and enjoy life. He said some other shit too.
_______________________________

THURSDAY:

Asshole was waiting for me with his vampire-like teeth exposed as his thin, cruel lips were pulled back in a full snarl. I couldn't help being a half an hour late, it took me that long to tie my shoes.
He took me to work out with dumbbells. When he was not looking, I ran and hid in the restroom. He sent some skinny bitch to find me. Then, as punishment, he put me on the rowing machine, which I sank.
_________________________________

FRIDAY:
I hate that bastard Christo more than any human being has ever hated any other human being in the history of the world. Stupid, skinny, anemic, anorexic, little aerobic instructor. If there was a part of my body I could move without unbearable pain, I would beat him with it.
Christo wanted me to work on my triceps. I don't have any triceps! And if you don't want dents in the floor, don't hand me the damn barbells or anything that weighs more than a sandwich. The treadmill flung me off and I landed on a health and nutrition teacher. Why couldn't it have been someone softer, like the drama coach or the choir director?
________________________________

SATURDAY:
Satan left a message on my answering machine in his grating, shrilly voice wondering why I did not show up today. Just hearing his voice made me want to smash the machine with my planner; however, I lacked the strength to even use the TV remote and ended up catching eleven straight hours of the Weather Channel.
________________________________

SUNDAY:
I'm having the Church van pick me up for services today so I can go and thank GOD that this week is over. I will also pray that next year my husband will choose a gift for me that is fun like a root canal or a hysterectomy.

I still say if God had wanted me to bend over, he would have sprinkled the floor with diamonds!!!

Dusty.
 
Totally love it.

Reminds me a little of the ridiculously enthusiastic physio at my pain management clinic, who felt throwing up every 10 min (side effect of pain killer withdrawal) wasn't an adequate excuse to get out of having to run up and down flights of stairs.
 
If I had created that page, I'd wear your derisive comment proudly! I should be that creative!!
 
Now this is an ad for train safety in Melbourne. It has a catchy tune (I have been known to walk around singing it) and is hilarious:

[youtube]IJNR2EpS0jw[/youtube]

Enjoy! :ybiggrin:
 
OMG! We love playing that game. There were a couple of new ones as I don't think we have gotten to those levels yet. LMAO I will probably be singing that all day.
 
Yes, the boys and I share in itunes account and the boys downloaded it, so it showed up on my ipad and of course I was thinking what the heck did they download but I couldn't stop laughing while playing it. It is absolutely hilarious and harder then you think. I just showed the video to my younger son and he is rolling on the ground laughing.
 
Hi - larious! My girls overheard it and came running downstairs cuz they play the game also. Thanks Dusty, I am now the cool mom who knows all the dumb ways to die! THree minutes tho? Would would have guessed?
 
LMFAO!

I saw this a few months ago from a friend at work. She was cursing that she couldn't get the tune out of her head! :lol:

I knew it was a public service announcement but until today I had no idea it had gone viral and also spawned a game! :yfaint:

Dusty. :hallo3:
 
Just found out school has been cancelled for their last week due to severe flooding. Been a weird few days. Whole calgary and surrounding area is in a state of emergency.
 
I've been seeing the newscasts and pictures from your area! I hope you are not directly in the flood areas! But, even being close by, I can imagine it must be causing so much hardship for you now! :ghug:
 
Our neighbourhood is ok. I volunteer at The Childrens Hospital and many parents couldn't get in for their sick babies. It is them i am most worried about probably having to deal with flooded housing plus a child in Hospital.
 
Glad to hear your home is okay! But, gosh, yes, you often don't think of all the personal hardships (beyond the obvious) that can come with these situations! :ghug:
 
Well, when we're all free of evil insurance co's and outdated restrictions like natl borders and such…I'm gonna move next door to you!!
 
Had to share this!!!!
Today my son bought a rainbow lorikeet. He named it Dexter....I told him to think of a shorter name as that was too long so he said ok its called Dex!!!!
So Dex it is!!!....l had to laugh....So now l have a bird to look after as well.....As if l don't have enough to do.

LMFAO! I just hope the bird doesn't live up to his pain in the arse namesake! :ylol:

I hope your boy enjoys his new pet, :), and happy cleaning mum! Aren't pets just fab! :yrolleyes:

Sarah dropped Stella off here in December for us look after for a couple of months. Guess who is laying on the hearth in front of the fire? No prizes mind! :lol:

Dusty. :)
 
He said he will look after it, he brought it home with no cage and told us to look after it for a while until he came home. We then had to go find a cage and try figure out what to feed it as its only a baby.
 
Hmmmm, the age old gap between their idea of looking things after and ours! Ugh!

Look after it well and you will only have about another 9 years of bird sitting! :eek2:

Dusty.

9 years..:yfaint: We've only had it for a few hours and l'm sick of it already. We took it out of the cage and everywhere it went there was bird shit. I like to have a clean house so l can't see it staying in the house for long.
 
:lol: I would be just like you! Ewwwww, I'd hate a bird crapping all over the house!

Sounds like a nice outside cage is just what the doctor ordered! :)

bird-pooping.gif
 
OMG! Sorry upsetmom but that is too funny. I tell everyone at times it seems my life is all about $#@t! If I am not inspecting my daughter's I am cleaning up or stepping in my dog's!
 
No complaints anyone!!! I swear our new puppy has IBD! :yfaint: With his symptoms, you'll be certain that's what he has! :( He's been to the vet a number of times, lots of tests, eating a special easily digested food, pills for D, D 5-7 times/day (sometimes more!), giving him rice to help offset, we feed him an enormous amount and he's still skin and bones, etc., etc.! Some of you may remember, my last dog also had a brief colitis episode! What is it about my house?!?!?!?
 
Whether IBD or gluten intolerance, it's just too crazy!!! :lol: While we, at home, all love our pets, my husband and daughter, in particular, are really 'into it' - training, watching dog shows (on tv), the right breeder, the right exercise (not too much, not too little!!! :lol:), right diets, etc. You can only imagine the poop inspections going on! My hubby and daughter were actually outside, the other night, with a flashlight to inspect and discuss! :rof: ...OMG, just give me my wine!! :ybatty:


By the way, I'm not totally cold-hearted!! I do hope he's okay... ;) I just think it's too bizarre...
 
LMFAO...Sorry to laugh at your expense Tess. :redface:

They say dogs sense things...are you sure you picked him and he didn't pick you? You now, knowing that you have already researched IBD and have extensive experience? :lol:
 
Don't blame you at all for laughing, I've laughed too (hubby actually got mad at me! :eek:) !! :ylol: But, what else am I to do? Hmmm... :eek:utahere::beerchug:
 
Ugh! If you didn't laugh you would probably be crouched in the corner, rocking away and puling out what eyelashes you have left! :eek2:
 
Upset mom,
Lorikeets are the worst birds for house pets. They are very sweet but because of their type of diet their poop is extremely watery. Other birds make better pets. We had a conure. She was wonderful and quite clean only pooped in her cage.
But speaking of poop, the kids convinced me to buy a chinchilla. Now chinchillas are the cutest sweetest animals except for one problem which I did not find out about until we got her home. They have no anal sphincter. The poop just falls out and boy oh boy do they poop. There is chinchilla poop everywhere. It is like small little chocolate chips so they do clean up pretty easily but it is just out of control. It is actually driving me nuts ( kind of glad we started this conversation because I really needed to rant about this) I don't know what to do. She is so cute and sweet and she just loves us. She sits on our shoulders and jumps around us when we let her out. I am very torn because I want to get rid of her hut I feel bad the kids love her and she loves us. Her poop is everywhere and it even falls out of the cage by the ton. She is in my younger sons room and there is poop in his shelves and in his closet. No matter how much I clean I find more!
 
Believe it or not chinchillas poop more then rabbits! The whole reason I let them talk me into a chinchilla is I am allergic to rabbits and chins are hypoallergenic. Chinchilla for sale! Anybody want one?
 
So that's a yes to wanting the chinchilla Dex? Just drop it off Kim...they have so many animals they'll never notice!
 
Today the bird isn't driving me as crazy...I put a towel down on the floor and it didn't move from there at all....it actually stayed there and played with its toy...:grr1d:

We have very strict quarantine laws in Australia, so chinchilla's being rodents they are banned.

Now I am happy they are banned. :smile:
 
OMG! LMAO at all the diapers and comments! :rof: Shame both my daughter's birthday and Father's Day has passed... they probably would've appreciated doggy diapers!

Last night, when it was poop time for our puppy, BOTH hubby and daughter went out (it's an 'event' for them), as my daughter was leaving the room she said 'you know, mine and dad's goal is to find a good shit'! LMAO!!! (I had to laugh, thinking about what I had posted here yesterday!)
