Ask Me Help Desk - Alty's chit chat thread.

Alty's chit chat thread.

You all know that I'm notorious for hijacking threads. I go off on a tangent, drag people with me, and before you know it we're entirely off topic.:o

Really, I don't mean to do it, it's just something I do, can't seem to control it.

I really am a bad girl, I have to go to KP's room. ;)

So, because I can't seem to stop, here's a thread where anyone can discuss anything they want. Of course the AMHD rules still apply, no swearing, be nice, etc. etc. but everything else is fair game, after all, it's my thread. ;)

So go ahead, chat away.

1st in... that's a 1st :D

Haven't you been first before? I could have sworn that you've been first.

Well, no matter, you're always #1 in my book.

Did I make you puke a little with that? ;)

Not at all ;)

M, did you go all mushy on me? ;)

I just thought of something sexual to post. I know, not surprising, but still...

I questioned if you've ever been first before. You said you don't remember. Don't most men remember if they've ever had the privilege of being first? W.T.

Beer is good. :)

Ohhh... Uhmmmmm I meant NO , I'm never 1st ;)

I'll swing in "Chit-Chat".

Actually my mom is in the hospital having bleeding evaluated. They did the stomach sample through he nose. Tomorrow the camera to the stomach and maybe a colonosopy. This all started at midnight Sunday night, so mom gets a ride to the hospital by ambulance with me following. They were busy and she was stable, so no real activity happened until 4am. I left the hospital about 6am.

They were supposed to do the camera this morning, but the hospital fed her and they were not supposed to. Just as the gurney arrived she was finishing breakfast. It's not the first time the hospital did this to our family either. They got an earful yesterday.

The bleeding worsened with food, but previous admissions a number of years ago were worse. Then it was blamed on Bextra and Celebrex and divericulitus. Ulcers were in stomach and intestine then.

Not a real fun day.

Although when a hospital nurse was told that my father dropped a pill and he needed another, the nurse said "Pick it up off the floor and give it to him". We won't stand for that kind of treatment anymore.

LOL! Sneezy's motto is "never the first and never the last". Sadly he hasn't stuck to the first half of that very well. ;)

Not good news. Please keep us posted. I know you are knowledgeable enough to know what's what. As for the comment from the nurse, that would have got my blood pressure up ! My mom and I (she has passed on) went through some rough times at hospitals with her care. It was a horror show when she waited so long for a hip replacement at 92. Only because they got her records mixed up with some other 93 year old !

My thoughts are with you and your mom.

Hey Tick!! *hugs* it's been too long.

OK great! I have something to chat about. Do you all have this problem?. are there people that you just don't like and you don't know why? You just look at them and something about them just rubs you the wrong way?

I'm weird and I hate that I am like that. 2 people on TV right now that I can't stand and there is no reason for it... they are on American Idol. The first is poor Katie ( is that her name the 16 year old) I don't like her... I don't like the way she looks or acts or something. Isn't that mean? I have to leave the room when she sings.. ha ha. ERRR don't like her. And then Kara... I can't stand her. I don't like her advice either... it is stupid. I know I know.. and I claim to be a christian... tsk tsk. I disgust myself.

So sorry about your Mom Keepitsimple... :( what is up with the medical staff? I'm sick of paying out the nose for treatment by incompetent people. Hope she is doing better.

I think we've all been there Classy. There are just some people that rub you the wrong way and you don't know why.

I usually go with my gut, if I don't like them, there has to be something that I'm picking up on, I just can't figure out what it is. I'm usually right, so trust your gut. :)

FYI, it doesn't make you a bad person, it just makes you human.

Exactly.

In my experience, when I find someone like that and end up having to spend time with them, I generally learn that my first impression was well-founded.

There is the flip side and I have to admit to it. There have been people that I couldn't stand at first, even fought with, hated (that's a word I don't use very often) and then, because of one exchange where we actually agreed to talk to each other, to listen, we became friends.

It's happened here, the most drastic case being Cred (he's been banned now). We hated each other. We fought tooth and nail. He'd call me names, I'd give as good as I got. Then, one day, he PM'd me, and something in his PM hit a chord, but not a bad one. I PM'd back and we both realized that we weren't all that different, that we just didn't agree on a lot of things but that didn't make either of us bad people.

He became a friend.

Of course that's on the internet, it's harder to judge personality on the net. That's one thing I hate about the internet. I often type something, and I type it the way I would say it, but of course I can't express tone of voice, or facial expression or any of the important things when communicating. I often wonder how many times someone gets upset at what I write just because they misunderstood what I said due to the lack of face to face contact.

Still, were it not for the internet I wouldn't know any of you, so bravo for the net. :)

Chitter chatter teehee

Hi everyone!

Well, I have an announcement. We are NOT leaving my dad, however! We are kicking him out!

That is wonderful news Emop! Truly wonderful news.

Way to go for you and your mom. I really hope this is the end of it.

Hugs to you little Emop. :)

Thanks Alty! I'm so so excited! Haven't been this excited in all my life

KISS, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope they find out what is wrong and your mother makes a speedy recovery.

Emop, that is great news. :)

Indeed it is

I wish you well KISS

hehe, that's an interesting story, I think.

I spent Sunday afternoon at the beach with friends. We were sitting playing in the sand and standing random things up in it. One of my friends found a section of a telephone pole and stood it up in the sand. It stood there for a few minutes while my other friend was yelling at him that it was going to fall over. It didn't. I sat down. Forgot all about the pole standing up in the sand right behind me. Then they were telling my name and I was staring at them trying to figure out what I'd done. Next thing I know, *smack* pole go boom on my head.

Is that supposed to make sense to me? I know what chipped ham and pop are. Don't know what 'stillers' are. Have no idea what they have in common.

It actually didn't hurt THAT bad when it happened. I cracked up laughing. Partially because it DIDN'T really hurt, and I know it should have. Partially because they started fussing and apologizing and looking for blood and bumps on the wrong side of my head.

I didn't even have a headache until yesterday afternoon.

I've done something like that before, only I never remembered why I was on the roof in the first place

Then I was right. You ARE in Pennsylvania. You're not too far from me. I was actually in pittsburgh in January, I think. My boss has a sister-in-law that lives there. While I was staying with him, I went with him to pick up his wife and spend a day of site seeing after she spent the weekend with her sister.

I'm just across the border, in Ohio.
