Internship today. Hope I am still working on emergency records cuz I am wearing new clothes.

 I saw the forecast...hope it's not serious.

Lovely cool day today.

I have, against my better judgment, named a calf Lolita. One of the guys adores her mother, Lola, and begged to be allowed to name the baby, which does look just like her mother.
Still. . . Lolita?
He is unaware of the connotations of the name, and I can't bring myself to explain them.

IMHO, Lolita is just a name. Not everyone has to put a label on the name.

About 1 1/2 inches of rain last night. Much needed for my poor plants. We've been watering like crazy, but they were obviously stressed from the dry months we have had. The rain was a welcome change here.

I'm home with #1 today. Mostly to evaluate his ability to perform basic needs for himself. He didn't sleep last night either, apparently. It hurts when he wiggles his fingers, but otherwise seems to be okay. He's supposed to get allergy shots today so I'm not sure what his pediatrician will say.

 Thanks for the warning. I'll spray Lysol on my computer screen!

(And FEEL BETTER soon!)

He broke his arm? Jeez your family has had quite the injuries/illnesses lately. I guess that is to be expected with two little buys. My brother went to the ER at least once a year when he was a kid.

Morning everyone.

FNW, what I remember about breaking my arm was it hurt like crazy for day or two but then it stopped completely.

It's the trauma to the tissue more than the bone.

You can ice through the cast.

But don't let it get too cold cause that causes pain.

And elevate.

That seemed to make the biggest difference.

FNW, it never ends!

Go home. You need an hour to yourself.

Oh my, I can relate to this!

When youngest dd sprained her ankle, I stupidly gave her the portable phone..

She called me every few minutes when she was upstairs and I was down.

I lost 4 pounds.. 

Oh my, I hope everyone is feeling better soon.

We are quite the sad bunch of Geeks, this morning.

Hugs and good thoughts to you all!

Good to see you, FWM!!

How are YOU doing?

I'm hanging in there, Czech.

Pulling out of the funk that I've been in the past couple months.

Fall is in the air. That's helping!

I hope you get over your bug soon!

I can relate to being in a funk. I've been there lately as well.

Yes, fall is in the air. Our high for the weekend will be... wait for it.... 50 degrees.

Glad you are enjoying the change of seasons.

So who is up for some entertainment this morning? I have a story that is so crazy. Sad but crazy weird.

---

 Let's hear it!

Oh, I've already been entertained this morning, but I'm up for more!

There's a lady at my woman's group. And she was married for years and years and years. To an alcoholic that beat her. Her girls are all grown now. They all have drug problems of their own. One of her daughters got all three of her kids taken away by CPS which, HERE, is unheard of. She wanted to stay married and not get a divorce. She prayed really hard about it. Everyone supported her in the decision she made to stay. Even though he beat her. But she felt marriage was sacred so she stayed. Then he had an affair. I think that kind of pushed things over the edge. She decided to leave him. And we were all supportive of that given the situation. So she just left the guy about six weeks ago. She hadn't even found a place of her own and was staying with friends here and there. We are not in the position to put her up right now but I offered to meet with her and take her to lunch or dinner, my treat.

Last night she announced she was getting married. She hasn't even filed for a divorce! Apparently she was on the internet and met some guy in the Army who is serving in Afghanistan right now. He has a grown daughter. She has known him for three weeks. They are engaged. She said he has a lot of money and is going to buy her a nice home. Everything is wonderful. He's so sweet and is going to take care of her for the rest of her life.

I listened quietly. I didn't say anything. Everyone was telling her they were happy she found someone that makes her happy. I see disaster written all over this. And while I have no room to talk about fast moving internet relationships I wasn't coming out of a long term abusive relationship with a drunk. Ugh. I hope it works but I have a feeling there is going to be heartache down the road.

Yeah, asking someone to marry you that you've never met seems bad. She really needs to focus on getting a divorce and getting some counseling. Although that will be a cold day in hell.

A friend of mine was married briefly to a woman who left him for a man she chatted with on the internet. She packed up and moved to Australia to live with him, sight unseen. I often wonder how that worked out.

School shootings are not suppose to happen in South Dakota!!

Glad they are safe. Ugh!

I'm the "beck & call" girl here today - DH has what I think is the flu. We were supposed to get out flu shots last week, but the pharmacy was overrun. Is it too late for me to get my shot today?

Sounds like he's really a Somalian Prince, and will need her bank account to move all his money.
