Thanks Kay. Yes, it was a long time ago. He would have been 24 now.{{{Taxi}}} That story took my breath away. I know it was a very long time ago, but I'm so sorry.

Taxy, I don't think I knew that you lost a child. I'm so sorry. I'm sure you think of him often, even after all this time. Big hugs to you. 
Thanks Cheryl. I don't think about him all that often anymore. But, since I never did manage to have a child, it does make Mother's Day an unpleasant thing for me.Taxy, I don't think I knew that you lost a child. I'm so sorry.

Do you know how hard it is to type when your eyelids are full of tears?... The baby didn't die from the amnio. The baby died from lack of amniotic fluid, five weeks later.
(((Hugs))) to you, Friend. 
Thanks CG.Do you know how hard it is to type when your eyelids are full of tears?
Squirming and cursing with restless legs syndrome while trying to sit still long enough to type replies, read, laugh and cry at all the posts I'm reading.
Love you guys! Thank you for being here!

A gallon is 3.7 liters. So 2 liters is about half a gallon.
Anyway, yeah my ultra sound technician didnt understand the new machine and blamed me for being too fat to get a good pictures.... Which was odd I weighed 10 kilos more and the baby was tiny the first time around and the young girl had zero problems.
So with putting the blame on me and that the baby had shrunk according to the idiot, they send me off to a specialist instead, the baby was fine and every one forgot to measure the umbilical cord. I was really luck, she was born with 1 inch to spare, 1 inch shorter and I would have bleed out and had 30% survival chance.
So I cant have more kids ever, due to this, I'm too high risk.

Right. For some reason, I had it in my head that she was supposed to drink two 2-liter bottles.

To change the subject a bit, I got a call from the doctor's office apologizing for making me drink 2 litres of water when I only had to drink 16 oz. She said the amount is printed on the sheet given to them by the lab (the ones that complained to the doctor's office). The lab got this from the hospital who is responsible for all test protocols. So, I raised a little h#$l! 
And Taxy, I wrote to you privately.

Today's project was to bake a batch of onion bagels. My plan was to do a batch of English muffins tomorrow but I found a ziplock in the basement freezer with a half-dozen muffins.
Maybe I'll try for a batch of Kaiser rolls instead.

Mmmm, onion bagels. I could go for one with a shmear and smoked salmon.
I'm trying to recover from spending the day at the DMV trying to renew my driver's license, while simultaneously arguing over the phone in meetings about an air loss (a problem with audio, video, or metadata that affected on of our network shows) that I created over the weekend.
Apparently, after cleaning and testing an off air control room on Sunday, I managed to tweak an audio channel making it too hot, which then affected the overall downmixed audio that went out on air on Monday morning.
The technical director should have caught it while checking the control room in before they went on air, but she didn't and went nuts today blaming me for causing it.
In 30 years I've only caused 4 air losses, but she is looking for blood. I may have to get my union involved tomorrow.
At least I got my license done.

Flew a patient with a heptopulmonary syndrome after his appointment at UCLA. The only exciting part was taking off from my home airport with Santa Ana winds blowing 15 to 30 mph

I feel your pain. My wife hates my restless legs. She hits me sometimes because I shake the whole bed. Lol don't bother me. Most times I don't even realize I'm doing it.

Listening to DH screech and yell at the Hawkeyes BB game. Apparently we have the two TVs set too close to each other. I'm out in the sunroom, he's in the family room.
Still trying to recover from vacation mode, and flights. Did a bunch of laundry.

Going to send my son pics of Trub's (Trouble) doings last night.
Trub's busted!
Our dogs sense Sophie got sick have been on a canned food mixed with their kibble diet. Well Sophie is all better now, so she doesn't need to get the special canned stuff from the vet anymore.
Yesterday I went shopping and bought some canned dog food that I thought they would like. Trub had a hissy fit. Gave us the first ever mean look of his life. "What IS this!!!?" They only want canned food now. Seriously? They're spoiled kids.
To punish us for human stupidity he got into the trash can. Woke up to see garbage all over the kitchen, living room, not daring to look where else he has something stashed.
Alright, I'm caving like a rock slide. Calling the vet to ask they have their monthly food supply ready for pick up today. He won!

Munky, I so understand what you are going through. We had this battle awhile ago.
Violet only needs wet food for her pills. She also takes liquid medicine in the morning which I put in a little bit of chicken broth as an "appetizer". For awhile we were splitting the dose so she got broth morning and evening. But the vet figures it is better to give liquid in am and pill in pm.
So, in the morning she laps up her broth and I put down the dish that only has kibble in it. "Hey, where's my wet food?".
That evening I put down the kibble with a blob of wet containing the pill. "Huh? no appetizer?"
I wake up the next morning to kleenex all over the place.
So, like you I caved. She now gets a blob of wet in the morning and plain broth in the evening.
The things we do!

I have been chatting with a young woman from England who is in the hospital due to her chronic illness - Skype is a wonderful thing! She has gone to get ready to settle in for the night. She will check in with me again in her morning as I will no doubt be up.
It is so great to have the tools these days that while you may be isolated in a home or hospital, you have the world (literally) at your fingertips!
