Finally................ testing + for TB and having active infectious TB are two very different things. If the woman isnt sick but just tested +, you most likely have nothing at all to worry about. At the shelter everyone that comes in is more than likely given the TB skin test .......where they inject the medicine just under the skin............then a couple days later look to see if the person reacted...............THEN if the skin test is + they have the person go for chest xrays to see if there is evidence of active TB. Once a person has a + skin test, meaning they've had some type of Tb exposure at one time....that person WILL ALWAYS test + but it doesnt mean the person is infectious. Just let your doctor know theres been an exposure to someone who tested + and they will do skin tests on you and the kids............but honestly I dont think its anything for you to be upset about, and I dont belive that you'd have symptoms this fast..........I'm not 100% positive about the onset of symptoms.............I have to do some research on the the specifics on that part for you........ Hang in and try not to worry!! |

i dunno, these younger men are a lot more work than ya'd think! a) there's keeping up with them and b) there's trying to curb that boyish enthusiasm......and they always look better than you do........ we just got back from our first dump date! one load of rubbish down, 436 to go! truck sure runs well for a '78, interior's in good shape.....AM radio....bucky all sprawled out between us on the bench seat.....the place looks better all the time! i said to hank whenever we get to the "crap, GOTTA do this, GOTTA do that" part, it's time to slow down and re-energize.......this should be our creation, not our burden......... he's thinking of dragging me out for a little boat ride....it's about 43 and windy....i won't mind really, just such a delicate flower ya know!? |

yeah, hank was just a young thing of 37 when i got my mitts on him....and as we know, that was enough of a challenge! 21 might be pushing it! its a lot chillier out there than it looks.......winds are out of the north and cold......we're supposed to dip right back to freezing tonite - perfect glad i pruned........but tomorrow the predicted hi is....56!!!! then the rains return.......waahhh..........so probably no boat ride tonite.........winds are switching round to the east, which means they come screaming off the cascades......... bucky is crashed hard on the couch! all his whoopdidooo finally caught up with him. hank's manning the chair, flipping between channels....oh it s the daytona, oh it's a move, oh it's the news, wait, no, daytona....i wonder if it's like that IN his brain.... |

hello everyone Couldnt sleep ..................found new music instead These two songs are great if anyone wants to hear them you can find them both on U tube.. How Do I Let Go I've got pictures and letters And a few other things you've left behind I'm surrounded by memories I can't erase from my mind Yet I don't know where to start Nobody said it would be so hard How do I let go How can I face this world alone Now I'm holdin' on for dear life But life won't let me, I know So how do I let go Do I run out and look for Another someone just to hold Or stay under the covers Never come out until I'm old I'll do whatever it takes Somebody please just show me the way How do I let go How can I face this world alone Now I'm holdin' on for dear life But life won't let me, I know So how do I let go How do I break the ties When they run straight from your soul to mine How do I let go How can I face this world alone Now I'm holdin' on for dear life But life won't let me, I know So how do I let go Oh how do I let go AND Reba/duet She Can't Save Him She can hear his car as it pulls in the drive She can whisper a prayer thank God he's alive She can meet him at the door, catch him when he falls She can even believe that it isn't his fault But she can't save him She can make his coffee in the cold light of day She can make his excuses, tell the boss he'll be late She can wave at the neighbors then kiss him goodbye And not say a word about what happened last night But she can't save him Sometimes she dreams that he's caught in a stream And the water keeps pulling him down She reaches for him as he pulls her in She wakes just before she drowns She can remember the man that he was And still shed a tear for what he's become She can live in that house until the day She sees that it's only herself she can save 'Cause she can't save him And that day she'll know she hasn't failed 'Cause nothing can change until he saves himself No she can't save him Reba / Duet when you love someone like that Verse 1: LeAnn I think it was me, it must of been me, I guess I did something wrong. I tried too hard, wanted too much, I guess that's why he's gone. I lost my pride, I fought and cried. I felt like a little kid. What's wrong with me? I still can't believe, I did the things I did. ~Bridge One~ I couldn't change him, he was gonna break my heart. I saw it coming, yeah, I knew it from the start. But, Chorus: When you love (when you love) When you love someone like that, when you give what you can't take back. When you love (when you love) With all your heart and soul, it's so hard to let it go. When you love someone like that. Yea, when you love someone like that. Verse 2: Reba Girl it ain't right, it just ain't right. Don't tell yourself that it was you. You followed your heart, you gave it your best. There's nothing more you can do. Guys like him are like the wind, and you know it's just too bad. They blow in and out again, and never know what they had. ~Bridge 2~ Girl, I can tell you, he'll do the same to someone else. It ain't about you, so don't be so hard on yourself. 'Cause, Chorus: When you love (when you love) When you love someone like that, when you give what you can't take back. When you love (when you love) With all your heart and soul, it's so hard to let it go. When you love someone like that.(when you love someone like that) Ohh, when you love someone like that. ~Bridge 3~ Reba: Oh we've all loved and lost, it's happened to us all. LeAnn: I hear what you're sayin' but I feel like the only one. Reba: You might feel that but you're not. You're alright (I'm alright) you're okay (I'm okay) You're (I'm) gonna make it anyway. When you love someone like that. (when you love someone like that) When you love (when you love) With all your heart and soul, it's so hard to let it go. When you love (when you love) when you love someone like that (when you love someone like that), when you give what you can't take back. When you love (when you love) with all your heart and soul, it's so hard to let it go. Reba: When you love someone like that. LeAnn: When you love someone like that. Reba: When you love someone like that. LeAnn: When you love someone like that. You're alright (I'm alright), You,re okay (I'm okay) When you love someone like that (when you love) |

Morning...I couldn't go back to sleep so I've been up since before 5.....sigh. Thank goodness I'm OFF today! Gotta go have a mammogram this morning.....oh but the joy she says sarcastically! Then loads to do....getting room ready for texture and paint. Got a disturbing phone call last night from my oldest daughter....please pray for her, grandson & son in law. Seems there's trouble in paradise and it just kills me. Wanting so bad to be able to "fix" it for her. Hating that she's so far away, would love to just hug her and hold her and let her cry on my shoulder! And here's her mom who has been in umpteen relationships, tried marriage 4 times and feeling so lacking in any thing at all to tell her! So....I turn to my close, loving female compadres.....my mafia mates.......asking for prayers that they will be ok and get everything smoothed over. And that if they don't you all will be on standby to go whoop yet another dumba$$ man's butt! I hope not.....but always nice to be prepared no? I hope all of you have a lovely day, best it can be for a Monday......hugs to all!

Lies, I gotta say thank you for those songs god it brought tears to my eyes!! I am off from work today, my daughter is sleeping, abf is off and Michael is at his grandmas. I am sitting here feeling some what out of sorts I guess kinda sad... I dont know. Yesterday I was talking to abf about wanting to quit smoking... nyc is giving away free patches, gum or sucking candy to quit smoking so I am going to call them and hopefully the gum will help me. I am not good with patches. Well anyway he tells me that he's going to quit smoking, crack and drinking... I am like really when... I knew this was coming.. he said when he goes to puerto rico. I told him you know dont tell meyour gonna quit just do it... I have heard this so many times.. if you plan on quitting just do it you dont need to tell me anything... also mentioned words dont mean anything just actions do. Now I said this as gently as I could. I hate hearing oh I am going to quit.. so sick and tired of hearing that. Now mind you he hasnt said this in a while but still this is fours years of this BS. I can not understand for the life of me why I am still here.. I just dont. But I am and until I am ready if ever to let go then I guess I am in this situation. When my daughter wakes up I need her to try on clothes from old navy that I ordered to see what fits and dont then I am heading to the store to make exchanges. One month from today at this very moment I should be in the airport waiting to get going... trust me I dont believe that this trip will save him not at all... what I feel is going to happen is that hes going to spend ten days clean... become some what a little clearheaded and then we will be back in ny... I will be off for a few more days.. I believe during the days I am off he will not use but once I am back at work its going to be BAM using again. Am I wrong for thinking and believing this?? Am I being negative?? I wish he would keep him planning to quit to himself.. why tell me... we've been thise route before and it only leaves disapointment. My thoughts this morning

good morning all - it's a beautiful day here is SW Louisiana - a little chilly but very nice compared to what the rest of my mafiaoso compadres are dealing with in the north. I have the most beautiful carport in the WORLD!!! The George men - BK (my hubby), his younger brother and two nephews built the carport this wknd - now to start saving for the driveway and then I'll be able to drive around park on the carport, hop, skip and jump up the stairs to the house and not have to dash in the rain, while praying the attack boxers next door don't tackle me before I get in a safe area!! It is a wonderful day at work - I'm in charge, which really doesn't mean much - since I'm the only one here!! lol - Secretary on a much deserved vacation and boss off working on his new hurricane replacement house. yippee for him so off to do a little work and then catch up on what I missed over the weekend. hope all is well - took some time this morning for prayer & meditation - lifted all of you up so that your HP would keep you safe and fill your life with serenity, hope and strength to face the day.
