Some of you already know that our Starby (Starbuck8) is in the hospital awaiting surgery.

She's a klutz, love her tons, but it's the truth. ;) She tripped on a shovel, broke her leg in two places, broke her wrist and her eye is swollen shut.

She'll need surgery to fix her leg, it's the femur. She'll also need to recover after the surgery and she's on her own, just her and her dog Niki.

Understandably she's a bit down, worried about Niki, not sure what's going to happen.

Shaz gave me the idea to start a thread asking everyone to write a few words to Starby to wish her a speedy recovery and let her know that we're thinking of her.

So please, write a few words, I'll print them all out in a few days and send them to her. That should put a smile on her face.

No essay okay, I'll run out of paper! ;)

Yes, I'm the first one to post.

Get well soon Starby, we miss you here. I'm sure your furry baby will be okay.

Missing you!

Sarah [and Herbie too]

Well Starby, even though I have only been on this site for a few months you have become one of the few people who I genuinely trust for advice and wisdom. During your time in hospital you will be sorely missed by everyone here.
I wish you all the best, and hope you have a speedy recovery.

Know that we are all thinking of you and send our love and hugs, to both you and Niki :)

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Get well soon.
Regards. redhed35.

Hey starby
Sorry to hear about your accident , Wishing you a swift recovery , hurry back we'll miss you.

M

Maybe we can find out about suing the shovel company for your injuries? Were there any warning labels on the shovel about the hazards of tripping on them? I will look into it while you are away... ;)

In the meantime, all angels deserve angels of their own and I really hope that yours is watching in your time of need. Get well soon, you will be in my prayers.

Starby just called, she's in a great deal of pain, the morphine isn't working and I still haven't been able to get in touch with her friend. I've called twice, left a message, nothing.

Niki has been home alone for 14 hours now, Starby's really worried. I really don't know what to do for her. If only she lived closer to me. :(

The worry over Niki isn't helping her, that's for sure. I just wish that I could get her friend on the phone already!

Grrrr. Just an update. I'm frustrated. :(

My God Starby! Please.....enough already!

Just kidding my friend, please get better as soon a you can, miss you too...

Stringer

My God Starby! Please.....enough already!

Just kidding my friend, please get better as soon a you can, miss you too...

That's what I said Stringer!

I told her that if she didn't have bad luck, she wouldn't have any. :p

I think someone's put a hex on that girl. :(

And... after she is home safe and doing well, I want pics of that shiner... :rolleyes::D

Worried about Nikki too...

Please heal fast!

I knew she was so worried about Niki, more worried about her then herself, but Starby had to go to the hospital and get all fixed up. It is so frustrating that no one is close by enough to help her and her little one. ALTY, I hope you get in touch with her friend soon.

Wishing you a fast recovery Starby, and that somebody will be able to check up on Niki for you...

Joe

Dear Ducky,

Oh Lawrd! This is horrible you breaking your leg; especially since I chopped the other one off last week. :(

Best wishes :),
Noux

Hey Starby, be sure to heal fast. We miss you so much on here... :( I never thought that the accident was so serious. I'm sure we'll find a solution for Niki, so don't too much worry about her for the time being, and think of healing quickly. You were the first one to welcome me when I entered your famous threads... Come back soon, okay?

Best wishes of recovery,
Unky

Oh that's terrible news! Please tell her I hope she gets well soon. I sure hope someone can go check on her dog for her. Maybe you could contact the social services department of the hosptial and ask if a hospital volunteer could possibly go out to her home to feed the dog.

Hi Starby, Hope your feeling better and Niki is OK!

You'll be missed :D

Hey Starby! I hope you have a TV there so you can watch your hubby sing! If not, I hope you get well soon! =P

- none12345

Hope all is well very soon.

THANKS!!!!!! I have ALL these email jokes...who the H*LL am I going to send them too? Do you have any ideeee how frustrating this can be?????? Give me the email address at your hospital...K????

Actually, I am thinking of you, this place is really empty without the featherless, one legged quacker...

Get well sweetheart.

Stringer

UPDATE:

I just got a call from Starby's friend. Starby is in rough shape, will probably be in the hospital for a month, possibly more. This is going to be a slow recovery, she will be needing help when she gets to come home.

Her friend is contacting Starby's family, telling them that they are going to have to pitch in, suck it up, she needs them now.

Niki is still at home, Starby's friend goes every morning to feed her, give her water, let her outside for a romp and bathroom break. Niki is not happy, she's never been alone before, but the friend cannot take her back to her house.

Starby's friend has been trying to get in touch with Starby's brother to tell him he has to take Niki until Starby comes back home. So far no luck, but Niki is getting the basics so no worries.

Starby's friend now has my email address and she promised to keep me posted on any new developments. As soon as I hear something, you'll hear it too. :)

That's it for now.

Thank-you hon.Big tears here,that poor sweetheart.

Ya, this is a bad situation. Starby really doesn't have anyone, only her one friend and a family that is less then helpful.

I'm going to talk to hubby, see if he would mind having Niki come stay with us. Starby's brother sometimes comes to Edmonton, if he would be willing to bring Niki up with him then I'll keep her here until Starby can take care of her again.

I could get in huge trouble if I do this, but I think I can juggle it. You see, where I live, you're only legally allowed 2 dogs, you need a special license to have more. Well, shhh, don't tell anyone, but I have 3 dogs, no special license. If I take in Niki that's 4 dogs. If someone complained, I could have all my dogs and Niki taken away from me.

I have to think this through. :(

Certainly is something to think through.
Wouldn't it be nice to be rich so you could just help people anytime they needed it?

It sure would be nice.

If I had the money and a sitter, I'd be by her side right now. Sadly I have neither, just can't do it.

I just wish her family would step it up and take care of this. That's what family is for after all. It just makes me mad, I want to bust some heads. :(

Sorry, angry Alty is rearing her ugly head. ;)

You are going to make her day so much brighter!

That is a great idea to send her flowers. Thinking of doing the same.

Thanks for the update Alty, good to hear there is some development but sad to hear about the longer recovery time for Starby..

I think I caught it in time. It was already wired to the florist, but the little helper man said he's going to call the florist directly and get it changed for me.

... Canadian guys just sound hot... ;)

Oooh I want to send her a post card!

Alty do you know if Starby has a TV in her room? O_O

Many people... :p

I'm in Canada, have been since I was 3 1/2 years old, but officially, I'm not a Canadian, I'm still a German citizen.

I have no idea if she has a TV in her room yet. As far as her friend knows, that's happening today. That and a phone. :)

Books are a great choice too... what kind does she like Alty...

She is going to be holed up and bored out of her mind, she ought to have a good book and puzzle games.

I hope she gets a TV soon, and I'm still checking on the possibilites of renting or borrowing a laptop with internet access so she can join us when she's up to it. :)

How about getting her a protable DVD player with a season of her favorite show [ahem scrubs].

Just a thought.

Being the loving good woman you are :)

I don't know about anyone else but when I had surgeries,I wanted pain meds and sleep.
I was so high I could barely see my T.V. no less try to use the remote.

True,

Being the loving good woman you are :)

Very loving and caring. Being the best friend to Starby as she can. Giving us all updates and ways to reach her and send her get well gifts and stuff like that.

Being the loving good woman you are :)

Aw, that's so sweet. :)

I just called the county to see if I could take in Niki and if so, for how long.

I lied though, told them I only have two dogs. :(

So here's the scoop. I can take in a third dog (acutally a fourth, but our secret) for 1 week. Any longer then that and I'll need licensing which requires the approval of all my neighbors. I know that at least 2 of them would not give their approval.

The only reason we've gotten away with having 3 dogs is that they don't go in the yard at the same time. Jasper and Indy are almost identical twins, so nobody realizes that they're two different dogs. Niki is a blonde, they'd notice!

So, I can't take Niki or I run the risk of them taking my dogs and Niki too. It's too big a risk, I can't do it!

This really sucks! :(

Oh Shi$, that does suck.
You certainly tried.I can't even begin to think of a plan C.
If I think of anything I'll let you know but,things are done so differently in the U.S its hard to gauge what would work there.
I know you are disappointed but maybe somebody has an idea.

Is a boarding Niki an option? I know it's not ideal, but it could be better then being home with no one.

We actually even have a dog day care here. It's structured and there is an outdoor dog playground.

I recommended it, I'm sure her friend has too, but knowing Starby, it's not an option, she'd worry too much. She really thought her friend would take Niki home with her and keep her until she's out of hospital, but it's just not possible.

Hopefully they'll find a solution. I know that the friend is trying to contact Starby's brother and ask him to take Niki. Not the best plan, Starby doesn't get along with her brother, doesn't really trust him, but it may be the only option.

Another prob with the dog day care or boarding is the cost. Starby's on a fixed income, not a lot of room for extras. I don't think she can afford to put Niki up somewhere.

This just sucks all the way around. :(

Alty, Please send my good thoughts to Starby via her friend. She is certainly one of a kind if she can do that sort of juggling trick and actually break her leg and wrist all at the same time. OMG she must be in really, really bad pain as just a single break in a leg hurts like the d*ckens, let alone two breaks in one leg!

I'd love to see what the "other guy" looks like after Starby got done with them!

Speedy recovery Starby. Everyone here is rooting for you to come back here ASAP. After all, you'll go into AMHD withdrawals and as everyone here knows that's really awful!

Boy, Starby and Niki are in bad shape. Bet the shovel faired much better <G>. Wishing Starby a quick recovery.

PS:
Alty: Will you take care of me? Your seem to be doing the best you can for Starby and Niki.

are you thinking about giving it to your 6 year old already alty? O_O

I Want to HEAR IT TOO =P I Want to LEARN XD

LOL..............ok happy to listen :rolleyes:

Aw, you're so sweet.

Well, seeing as my son is 10 going on 15 and my daughter is 6 going on 10, I thought I'd keep it PG.

Jared knows the word sex, thinks it consists of kissing and something forbidden that he isn't privvy to. I've tried having "the talk" but until recently he's just plugged his ears and said "la, la, la, la I can't hear you!"

Well, all of a sudden he has questions. I have to keep in mind that anything I tell him, he'll tell Sydney. Not that I don't think she can handle it, but I'm hoping to keep it at a 6 year old level.

So here's what I've come up with.

A man has a penis, a woman has a vagina. When they love each other very much and have a commitment to each other then they have sex. Sex involves a man putting his penis into a woman's vagina. The man has seeds in his penis and a woman has eggs in her body. When a man ejaculates the seeds are released and if they meet the egg and penetrate it a baby is started.

Condoms go over a mans penis to stop the seeds from going into the vagina. Sometimes things go wrong and the seeds get through anyway, but it's still better then nothing.

Sex is more then just physical, you should really care about the person and they should care about you. Now that you're getting older I know that you're starting to think about girls, and those feelings are normal, but you're really young and you shouldn't rush into anything until you're much, much, much, much older, like 30! ;)

So. Did I miss anything? Too much info? Not enough info? Correct choice of the words I'm using? Should I say sperm instead of seeds? How much info is too much? How much info is too little.

It's hard having kids. :(

I think you did great although Sydney is probably the one I'd worry about more ;)



but you're really young and you shouldn't rush into anything until you're much, much, much, much older, like 30!


LMAO... This is NOT going to happen , you know that :rolleyes:

I think you did great although Sydney is probably the one I'd worry about more ;)




LMAO....................This is NOT gonna happen , you know that :rolleyes:

I can dream, can't I?

Sydney is the one that worries me. I'm not a guy, never had to live in a guys body, never had to go through puberty as a guy. As a girl, I know how teen girls think and what they do. I swear I'm getting that kid a chastity belt as soon as the first boy calls my house!

She's a pretty kid, she's going to be a really pretty young lady. I'm going to have to buy a gun! :(

TMI TMI AHHHHHHH * runs away *

TMI TMI AHHHHHHH * runs away *

That was the tame version. Are you kidding? :eek:

I could go all out, talk about anal sex and how to go about it properly. I could tell them about oral and how to please their partner. Really, I'm just covering the basics here! :rolleyes:

Good job Alty! Now my brain is tainted!! IM NOT SUPPOSE TO KNOW THIS TILL 10 MORE YEARS WHEN IM 30!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! =P

You got it from KP duh!!

I don't like this sentence: "The man has seeds in his penis and a woman has eggs in her body."

And I'm not sure the word ejaculates is in the vocabulary.

I'll have to think about alternatives.



A man doesn't have seeds in his penis. At least I don't.
We are always taught to use the proper term, so "sperm" seems to be the right term to use. One key is that sperm are mobile and eggs are fixed and that there is typically 1 egg released per month and millions of sperm released at a time from the male. Once one of the sperm penetrates an egg, no others can. This process is called fertilization.

Devils advocate:

Mommy how can I put a soft penis into a girls vagina when I have such a hard time getting my urine into the toilet.

Good points K.I.S.S. you're right, I should use proper words. Having said that, what should I say to explain ejaculation?

I'm going to rethink this.

As for the soft penis in a girls vagina. Um, he's ten, he's had an erection, he gets that part, just doesn't know where he's going to be sticking it. :eek:

Can I hire someone to do this for me? :confused:

Update:

Just talked to Starby. Her brother is taking Niki until she's out of the hospital, he's also got a laptop he's going to lend her, just has to figure out the internet thing.

She's really doped up, I had to repeat myself a lot and she's a bit out of it, but she sounds okay. She had the surgery today and her leg is in a cast. Her wrist has a neon orange cast on it, she finds it funny.

Obviously she now has a phone in her room. I'll be calling her again tomorrow. Will keep you all posted.

She's really doped up, I had to repeat myself alot and she's a bit out of it, but she sounds okay. She had the surgery today and her leg is in a cast. Her wrist has a neon orange cast on it, she finds it funny.

Obviously she now has a phone in her room. I'll be calling her again tomorrow. Will keep you all posted.

Can you ask starby to get piccys :D

That's good news Alty , thanks for the update and send my Lub to starby :)

Love has been sent, pictures have been requested. :)

LOL, I'm gone for some time and you guys get naughty! :joking:

Ok, I didn't expect that Starby's thread will contain some "tmi" like noney said! By the way, how could you not know that at your age? I mean, I did it in my bio class last year? Well, perhaps the education system is different?

Glad to hear that Starby is doing all right and will soon be on AMHD again. She perhaps need some more encouragement?

On behalf of the entire Turtle family, including Myself (Turtlegirl16), Turbo Turtle, and Thomas Turtle, get well soon ♥

I was wondering where you were and I would not have known if I hadn't come across this thread. I'm so sorry about everything, but at least Nikki has a place to go. Can't wait to see some of your drug induced suggestions.
Get well very soon.

Back to doing two things at once.

Ok, so he has had an erection. That may also mean he has had a "wet dream". Thus, the milky clear fluid that is emitted during a "wet dream" contains sperm. The act of emitting that milky clear fluid is called "ejaculation". (Not quite right, but close (ejaculation vs. masturbation comes to mind).

Wet dreams are good. The males body has erections during the night to keep his penis healthy.

You don't have to have an erection to ejaculate, but it helps. You do need an erection for penetration, but that's a different topic.

How's that?

Then there is the slang terms vs. the medical terms. e.g vs ejaculate. Orgasm vs come. Who knows how to handle that.

I should dig out my mimeographed notes from 3rd grade when I had my 1st formal sex ed class.

K.I.S.S

Your scaring me LOL :rolleyes:

K.I.S.S

Your scaring me LOL :rolleyes:

Good, I'm not the only one. ;)

Is Starby behind on her sex ed?

Can't wait until you print this out Alty and she ends up all confused... :D

K.I.S.S

Your scaring me LOL :rolleyes:

Me three :(

Boo!!

Boo!!

Ahhhhhhhhhh! :eek:

Alty, love you and all but trying to explain sex to kids.. They don't really need that much info right now as they are just children. Wait until they come home from school and tell you about the sex ed class and explain it to you, OK? Then when they explain it all to you you will be certain that they understand it fully. Just confusing them now that the stork does not bring babies is going to give them way too much to think about... way too much to think about.

Tell Starby I said hello and please come back soon. AMHD is not the same without her here.

Lalala

Oh my gosh, I'm days behind! I just found this thread, thanks to a heads up from "Alty." I had no idea. Hope Starby is doing well and on the road to recovery. Right now I'm too shocked to do anything but send good wishes.

I have to agree. There is too much info there for these little kids to wrap their tiny heads around. They don't need ALL of the specifics at such a young age.

They just need to be told condoms gooooood
The pill gooooooood

Babies baaaaaad

Lol nice to know...

I have to agree. There is too much info there for these little kids to wrap their tiny heads around. They don't need ALL of the specifics at such a young age.

I agree J9, but he's asking questions. It's so hard to determine what to tell and what to hold back.

I want him to know he can ask me anything, so I want to be honest with him, straight forward so that he knows he can come to me.

It's a juggling act. I'm going to search for an age appropriate book, there's got to be something out there.

This isn't easy. I don't want to mess this up. :(

Sadly I found out most of what I know off either my friends or the interenet.

The only thing I've really discussed with my mom is when I got a serious boyfriend when I turned 18 she suggested I go on the pill.

Anything I'm unsure about now I just ask my doctor about :)

Any news on Starby-girl?

Any news on Starby-girl?

Not yet.

I'll be calling her later, she now has a phone in her room so I can contact her whenever I want. Bad thing is, she's on morphine, it makes the conversation interesting to say the least. ;)

I'll call her later and let you all know what's up. :)

Cool. Ask if she got the flowers! :)

Thank-you Alty ! I know she must be sooo relieved about Niki. Please let her know she is in my prayers.
Bless you for being there for her.

Cool. Ask if she got the flowers! :)

She did, was a bit confused who sent them so I told her. :)

Lol... glad she got them. :)

Awww did you send flowers HC... :)

Update:

Just talked to Starby. She's not a happy camper, in fact she's downright angry. She had the surgery, has a cast up to her groin and they want to start physio today. She doesn't want to.

She's giving the nurses a bit of a hard time, I told her she has to do what they say, she didn't like that. She's in pain, sad, lonely, miserable, but the sooner she starts physio, the sooner she can leave. This is going to be tough.

While I was on the phone her brother came, brought Niki, so at least she gets to see her pup.

Other then that she seems okay.

Awww did you send flowers HC.... :)

Yup. :D She's my girl.

I'm so glad they let Niki come visit. I don't know many hospitals that allow that sort of thing.

Hope it cheers her up. Thanks for the update.

That's great that she got to see Niki, I hope it cheered her up.

Must be awful being there alone most of the time :( She should rent a laptop and hack into the hospitals internet!

I'm so glad they let Niki come visit. I don't know many hospitals that allow that sort of thing.

Hope it cheers her up. Thanks for the update.

She's not allowed inside J, but they're wheeling Starby out for a visit.

I'm sure it will cheer her up a great deal. She misses her pup so much. I have a feeling it may be hard on Niki though, seeing her mom and then having to leave.

I just hope Starby starts listening to the doctors and nurses, otherwise it will be even longer then a month before she's released.

Stubborn Ducky! ;)

I remember having major surgery and the next day they are like *time for a walk*!
WHAT? You feel like your dying and they expect you to get up and get moving.I know its for all the right reasons,but you still want to smack somebody.I understand her feelings.Poor kid.That stubbornness will be a real asset to her when she starts physical therapy,it will give her the determination she needs.
Tell her not to throw any bedpans! Nurses are your friends!

Why do you want her to hang on to the bedpans?

Never mind, I read that wrong... thought you said don't throw them out... oops.

I feel so terrible having to get gals up to walk right after a c-section, but it's necessary. It makes me feel like a monster though.

Note to self: When going to hospital hancuff self to bed

I feel so terrible having to get gals up to walk right after a c-section, but it's necessary. It makes me feel like a monster though.

I hated following labor when they force you to pee... like you are going to forget... so you don't have to go, you know it is going to hurt if you can't pee strong and far... and they sit and wait for you to do the burning tinkle...

I wish I could say she's going to co-operate, but I doubt it. She'll fight them every step of the way and end up being there for 2 months instead of one.

She's not a happy gal and she's stubborn as heck. The poor nurses have their work cut out for them. She's already told them all off.

Hopefully they're more stubborn then her, but I'd hate to be in the room when the battle of wills ensues.

Hopefully they're more stubborn then her, but I'd hate to be in the room when the battle of wills ensues.

I'd hate to be in the room but I'd love to see footage...

Starby v. Nursing Staff tonight at 8 p.m.

My money is on Starby...

I too bet on Starby! However, that won't do good on her... except if she gets out of bed and runs after the nurse.. then she'll be starting her physio! Lol

I think... .Duck Tape is called for...

HA HA...'Careful what you wish for....' I like it M.

LOL... thanks stringer. Actually only on for a few minutes.

Busy as today :( Hate it when work disrupts my AMHD time :rolleyes:

The physical therapists may enjoy your pain, Starby, but do like they tell you. It really does help. A swift recovery!

Starby v. Nursing Staff tonight at 8 p.m.

My money is on Starby...

LOL, my money is on the nursing staff, they are the ones with the Haldol!! :eek:

I'm betting on Starby but I'm cheering for the nursing staff.

She needs to listen and do what they say.

Stubborn girl. :(

Starby being stubborn.. Ducky has to get up..

Maybe if Joux and Noux come back to the scene again. That will be enough...

Lol

Update:

Just talked to Starby. She sounds a lot better, a bit clearer and she's bored out of her mind.

Her brother has been bringing Niki to visit her so she's happy about that. Sounds like she's still giving the nurses a hard time but they're winning. Go nurses! :)

She had a sleepless night because she slept all day, but maybe a few weeks in the hospital will finally get her on the right schedule. ;)

That's about it.

Oh, she sends hellos and big hugs to everyone. She misses AMHD like she'd miss her right arm. :)

It's great to her of some small recovery and that her brother is bringing Niki up to visit.

Maybe this will even do some mending. :D

She gets too irrate, they will probably just heavily sedate her. ;) She doesn't stand much of a chance against the people controlling her I.V.

There isn't anything comfortable about sleeping in a hospital... especially when they send those damn nurses in to wake you up and poke and prode you in the middle of the evening.

Tell Starby, good luck and many hugs to her also.

Take it easy, Starby.

Altenweg, can her brother get her a laptop? Lots of hospitals can provide internet.

Her brother has a laptop that he's offered to bring to her, but the hospital said that internet isn't possible.

I'm not sure why, but they said no go. :(

That is odd? Why is that I wonder.

Well at least Niki is being taking care of, and Starby is getting visits from some family.

Tell her that I wish her the best and stop being so stubborn.. Listen to the nurses.

Joe

I think the reason is that Wi Fi can interfere with other equipment like heart monitors etc.

I wish it could be done, hopefully her brother will find a way, he's looking into it.

Poor Starby, she's just so bored.

At least she has a TV. :)

Love and Hugs to you, Starby! Please get better soon! We really need you around here! We miss you! :)

lol speaking of starby I just realized Starbucks is a coffee place. Always knew the coffee place but didn't realize her name was it until now XD =P GET BETTER STARBY!!

- none12345

I heard that wireless communication can sometimes interfere with some laboratory apparatus in hospitals. A pity though..

Starby, HUG YOU TOO!! :)

Hi Starby, I hope you don't hurt too much.

I send you love and huggs across the miles.

Try not to worry... Niki will be fine, enjoy being waited on for a while.

Godbless xx

Actually I was hoping they had something like a DSL line for patients, rather than Wi-Fi

Hurry back, Starby!!

Any news from starby and how she's doing? We miss her so much! =P

Darn it, I'm always late, Take care, keep your spirits up and I am wishing you a speedy recovery. Thoughts and prayers are with you in this tough time.

Actually I was hoping they had something like a DSL line for patients, rather than Wi-Fi

Hurry back, Starby!!!

It would be good, we all miss her terribly :(

She's still in hospital but I have no idea how much longer they'll keep her.

Understandably she's down, sad, misses all of us and Niki. I'm sure she can't wait to get home even though she's still going to be laid up for quite some time. Poor Ducky! ;)

I send all the well wishes to her via phone and I'll be printing all this out for her very soon, although I guess she can see it when she finally gets back. :)

I miss her here. I can't imagine not being able to talk to all of you. She must be going crazy, I know I would! Wow, can't believe I admitted that. ;)

I miss Starby too! :(

I still can't believe she broke her leg by stepping on a freakin' shovel! What are the odds?

Tripping on the shovel, tripping! My goodness, not even she's that clumsy, step on a shovel and break a femur! ;)

Actually, she is that clumsy. :p

She's going to kill me when she gets back. :eek:

Hugs kisses and lots of love hope to hear from you soon because you are truly missed... I bet you have serious AMHD withdrawals lol

That's why they're giving her morphine. ;)

That's why they're giving her morphine. ;)It is so funny I can just picture her there her fingers twitching and such lol.. ok I will stop teasing ;)

It is so funny i can just picture her there her fingers twitching and such lol ..ok i will stop teasing ;)

Keep teasing, then she'll go after you instead of me when she gets back. :D

Keep teasing, then she'll go after you instead of me when she gets back. :D
Oh thanks a lot geez:D

Oh thanks alot geez:D

What can I say, always look out for number 1. :)

But everyone would love to eat some duck...

Starfish... ok. Liver of chicken... ok... SCORPION!!!! NEVER

Chicken liver? :eek:

Unky, we need to talk. Seriously! :p

So, how is Starbuck8?

Thanks!

Thanks for asking Clough.

I actually have an update.

She may be released today, tomorrow at the latest, sadly her house isn't ready for her to return home and, as usual, her parents aren't willing to help.

She needs a ramp for her wheelchair, medical aids to help her function, someone to clean up her house so she can get around in the wheel chair, etc. etc.

Her mom and dad want to put her into assisted living, for how long I don't know.

She's really upset, at a loss, doesn't know what to do.

She wants me to come visit her, help her out, I'd love to be I can't, there's no one to take care of the kids, hubby has to work, his hours don't coincide with the kids schedule and I don't have anyone that could watch them, even just for a few days.

I'm looking into a few things. I'll keep you all posted, or hopefully Starby will be home soon, have access to her puter and she can update all of you. :)

Ohhh poor Starbs... sh!t, I wish I were closer, she would be right here in my home..
Starby, if you are listening... bad things don't stay bad forever, remember there is a light at the end of the tunnel... lots of HUGS! Gosh!

Chicken liver? :eek:

Unky, we need to talk. Seriously! :p

You would never guess what I've eaten already! :eek: These chinese foods!! You can only realise after having eaten!

But chicken liver, yes, it is known to have great benefits on the health, well from chinese culture...

My grandma once gave me a soup with beef brain in it! :eek: Supposed to make people more 'intelligent'

I stand by my "you freak" statement :p

My dad eat sheep brains once when he was really drunk, he thought it would be funny.
He went outside the restaurant and realised what he had just eaten..
The brains were all over the sidewalk.

LOL, I had to eat the brains in front of her... not to hurt her morally... family respect thingy... and was swallowing with difficulty... yuck! :( Will never eat that again, will find some excuse...

You had an allergic reation
Your stomach exploded
You are on a 'special' diet
You are only eating things that in green today
You are on a fruit diet

:p

Nope, not to that extent lol! I'm 'on a diet' to gain weight. My BMI *body mass index) is below 20... should be between 20 and 25.

BMI = \frac{Weight}{Height^2}

Oh... hmmmm...
It's not fatty enough for you? Lol
I have the opposite problem... I need to lose 5kg grrrrr
I lose it, then put it back on..
Then I join the gym, then can't afford membership
Then join again... then cancel...

Nearly everyday, tuition, meaning need to walk. Saturday and Sunday, Badminton, plus on Wednesdays, Physical education at school, badminton again... trying to play badminton better :D

Wow...
Throw some of that energy this way!

And never seems to be tired of playing badminton... I'm weird, yes, I'm really weird! Lol

I used to play badminton in high school, was in the after school team for year..
I was more of a netball girl though..
GS, oh yeah :cool:

For me, I play all field, dashing to the net, jumping to the back to make a save! Woohoo! Just love it! :)

Starby is in trouble!

DAMN UNKY!!!!! Sure wish I had your problem now, When I was a teen I was 6 foot and weighted 140 pounds and at that weight quarterbacked the football team... took a lot of beatings...

Oh, sorry Stringer, the BMI is calculated in metres and in kilograms.. :o Sorry I did not precise it.

Ooh noooo now Starby is in great trouble... It's like in some sort of nightmare... GOSH!! Why , why?? I wish I could help... :(

Where IS everyone

Hurrrrryyyyy... the Duck has ecaped for a widdle biddle

Where IS everyone

Welcome back starby! I don't know if you heard, but your danny was just kicked off american idol tonight :( how is he doing? I hope he's not too sad T__T =P

Miss yahz!

Oh Man, I heard about that yet, I thought is was going to be Chris! It's not on for another 2 minutes here.

Hurrrrryyyyy.....the Duck has ecaped for a widdle biddle

Starbs... let us all know how the heck you are doing... please!

I think she had to leave.

Starby?

I think she is gone... darn. Flying the coop in a couple days? I hope she is all right!

STARTY!! How are you sweets? I missed all of you soooooo much! I don't have too long on here, but it was very nice for the nurse to let me do this!

WHAT?? Who kicked my husband off... lemmme at them!! Fighting wordsI tell you!

I think she is gone...darn. Flying the coop in a couple days? I hope she is alright!!

Me too Starty.

I wish she could have told us more. I wish she'd said good bye.

At least she got to come on for a few minutes. :)

Not gone... just so hard to type and navigate!

Hey you...

I've really missed you around here Starby. I hope you get to chat with us a bit more now.

AMHD without starbs is like bread without butter or my furniture without dog fur... just plain unnatural.

I'm leaving to go to a safehouse tomorrow. No one ill know where I am, but I will let u guys know how to get in touch with me for sure. I have to sit with a bunch of counsellors, Dr's. Nurses, Lawyers... etc. tomorrow, and try to come to an undertanding that works for me. I want my baby back, first and foremost... and then some decect rules to have my property returned to me and so on. It's not going to be a fun day... although their haven't been too many of those ti grab at anyway!

I've really missed you around here Starby. I hope you get to chat with us a bit more now.

AMHD without starbs is like bread without butter or my furniture without dog fur...just plain unnatural.

Awwwwwwwww... You guys are too sweet! Luv Y'ALLL!
