I was shocked, I talked to Mom, last evening and she had to have additional blood work done, today....the reason, her kidneys checked out good when the cath was done, but now they want to be sure no damage was inflicted with the dye that was run through her veins! :angry: She was in the Dr's office for over 2 hours, today, as they attempted to obtain a blood sample. Couldn't get her veins to cooperate at first, then got very little blood from the final sample. They had her drinking water for 45 minutes, in anattempt for more success, but no such luck. :( |

It's continued to be unseasonably warm down here-I've been wearing a light jacket in the AM and t-shirt by the afternoon all week. It did rain today, and got windy and cooler, but nowhere near the conditions up there in your neck of the woods. My best friend, who lives in Dover, DE, said the weather there has been cold and miserable lately.

I wasn't aware that the dye could even be harmful at all. Did the doctor(s) make your mother aware that the dye could be potentially harmful?

Well, I have decided to purchase an HDTV at the end of this year. To that end I began looking around on the internet at models and prices. I ruled out Circuit City because they are consistently higher in price than either Best Buy or Wal Mart, from which I will buy an HDTV from one of these retailers at the end of the year. So far my list of TVs I have placed on my "potential" buy list is relatively short, and it may not get any longer. I have decided on a budget of $750 or lower, and chances are I will more likely spend in the mid $600 range. The units that are so far on my list: 1. Insignia 30" Flat Tube Widescreen HDTV - Reg price: $549.99 On sale: $549.99(Best Buy) 2. Samsung Slim Fit 30" Widescreen Flat Tube HDTV - Reg price: $699.99 On sale: $669.99(Best Buy) 3. Visco 32" Widescreen LCD HDTV w/digital tuner - Reg price: $ 598.00 (Wal Mart)(black cabinet) 4. Visco 32" Widescreen LCD TV w/digital tuner - Reg price: $588.00 (slightly less pixel resolution than #3 on this list) So far I have put about $100 cash aside(separate from bills and general savings "kitty") and it hasn't been easy doing that as I have had, this year, already five "rain out" days at work(I only had six all of last year)-when I don't work, I don't make any $ I'll get at least $200 bonus at Christmas(what I got last year) so I figure I only need to save up another $450 over the rest of the year. thumbs up |

I'm not sure what our total accumulation ended up being, but it snowed mighty hard for a while. I don't think it's snowing, now and they had thought it might snow into today, so that's good news. I honestly don't mind cold or cooler temps at all, but snow at this time of the year is a real bummer. |

We know from past experience, Mom and I'm assuming anyone that has this dye put through, usually has an IV to flush the dye from their system, but they did that to Mom following her heart cath on Tuesday, so I'm confused as to why they want to check, again. eh? I'd rather them play it safe, but I'm still confused. |

I see this site humming along nicely. :) With several great DVD releases already upon us and more goodies to come, I think we're going to see a new generation of fans emerge and this is a perfect place to discuss all those films, among other fun subjects. Heck, I'm trying to introduce my nieces and nephews to these films, so who knows, in ten years, they may be among the active members on this site. Mr Green |

Is this something that you have to undergo for each grade that you are in? confused |

I know it must be awfully tough on your mother, and everyone else in your family, knowing this risk and her(your mother) undergoing the procedure anyway. |

I've first noticed it about two years ago. I usually feel lazy and uncaring about my life during that time... One of the biggest things that I noticed was lack of appetite but yeah nothing too major. During November I've had thoughts about suicide and all that jazz, but I'm starting to feel much better now. Normally I'm quite cheerful and optimistic. |

Yup, exactly. Like the state tests that there's usually one for every year. |

I understand there are a lot of states now that include a standardized test, yearly, and that each student is required to pass, in order to advance to the next grade. Georgia, my home state, has such a test, though I'm not sure what it's called. Is it a hard test Corey? eyebrow |

I'm glad to hear that. Ghost, do me a favor: if you ever get those suicidal thoughts drop me a line, or anybody you call friend. Okay? Which is good, but, realistically, even those with friendly demeanors and positive dispositions are going to occasionally feel lousy, be it about anything. Try and remember this, and allow yourself that feeling bad sometimes about life in general is actually pretty normal, for everyone. That's what my own counselor says. Yes, I talk to a friend of mine by email on a regular basis-he has sent me some good books, and offers me advice about things. |

Eh, we had the newly added science section on it, that was the only hard part because it pulled random questions that I didn't know out of the air. Other than that, it was alright, just very stressful. But no worries, I got through it. :<!--emo&lol:--> |

Ice is definitely the worst! There's absolutely nothing you can do when driving and you hit a patch of ice, but to hold on tight and hope nothing horrible happens while you're skidding along.

Very glad to hear you worked past those thoughts. I admit, I;ve suffered with those same thoughts through the years from time to time, but never too seriously, I guess. Lee's advice is good, talk to someone, that helps.....friends and family can do wonders to raise spirtis. :) |

Down here in Atlanta, GA we're expecting one more major cold snap this month, and perhaps a smaller one in early April. It's one reason why we wait, Kimi, until about mid/late April to change out our client's flowers: if we install spring/summer "color" too soon and it get's zapped by a late frost our customers expect us to replace the wilted flowers...free of charge.
