ok, I have had it with Comcast Cable. The dang thing keeps going out, the information bar and program menu keeps going blank. You cant really set the DVR as it wont allow a real search to happen, and the TV guide only goes ONE week in advance. So...looks like Direct TV will be getting me back as a customer. I think I will switch my land line back to a real phone instead of Comcasts voip shitty system. We walk across a room and look to see the message light blink. We have been here ALL day, and the phone didnt ring! how is it folks get the voice mail all the time when it wont ring here? so...im fed up. I pay alot of money for all the movie channels and all the features on the phone. No one else offers high speed internet, so I am stuck for now with comcast, but my god what awful folks!
Its snowing. We are expecting at least two feet. The turkeys are in the yard making a mess. Those wild turkeys can really mess up a bird feeder.
Hope you feel better steph.

Somehow our area totally missed the snow. It's been raining all day. There were threats of ice but the temp never fell below 35 so...don't know what happened there. Fine with me though, now that I'm a boss calling off for ice doesn't always fly so it's not fun driving in that crap.

we got about 18 inches. maybe a touch more, but whos counting at this point?
Jack the cat is back on pain shots. poor thing. I am completely at a loss with this cat. His quality of life just sucks right now.
Going to Connecticut on Saturday to do taxes, so we are going to see friends, and family and maybe I can even get a glimpse of my child whom I havent seen since his g/f recaptured him. you know he is going to marry this one. you just know it.
Feeling crappy lately. stiff, spastic and having issues with vision. hubby is having fits that I want to travel when I am more blind than sighted. I have several MD appointments and lets see what they say. I hate this frigging disease.

wahoo! triple post for me. where are you guys? Jack the cat woke me up playing! I was so happy! I am going to try to skip pain meds today and see if he can feel better without the meds. I am currently trying to find consults with other vets to see if I can get other opinions on what to do for this poor cat. He is the sweetest kitty I have ever owned, but also the sickest. I just cut his nails and he is not happy with me. ICY here! It was a skating rink to try to get home. Where is everyone?

I had to get out for the first time this week. My complex is a disaster, but the roads are just fine. Figures. Been working from home all week! And it is supposed to snow again tonight, and Tuesday. They are calling for up to 10 more inches. WTF? It does not normally do this in Oklahoma...

STEELERS LOST! WOO HOO I CAN SLEEP IN!! @.@ Argh if they would've won I would've had to go to work at 3 AM to get those damn shirts and hats ready. Anyone watch it? Because if so, you now know how much we hate our quarterback. He basically plays for the other team. I haven't really been around much because I've gotten into old man routines of Up Work Home TV Bed. Yes, I stole that from Rocko's Modern Life. But it fits. In new new, Mark and I, after 20 years, have our own rooms. Since grandma passed, my parents moved into her room downstairs, and Mark moved into theirs down the hall. It's...kinda weird. It's nice to have the extra space but when you live with someone for 20+ years it's a hell of a change.

Happy birthday, Nick. I shall have a beer for your birthday. ;D I did not watch the game but I read about Greenbay winning. I love Football but can't get into the American stuff. I know Canada's league gets all the NFL rejects and its by far inferior to the stuff the US gets. But I can't cheer for a team that I have no emotional ties to. I've never even been to Pittsburgh or Greenbay so I don't get hyped up over Super Bowl stuff. I tried but I just can't. I'll stick to my crummy Canadian league. Weekend was good here. Ended up doing more shopping than I would have liked and my Visa bill has gone up a bit. I've had it under control for so long. Gotta get this shit payed off fast and continue to keep saving for my eye surgery, vacation and potential schooling.

I am not a sports fan of any kind. I like the commercials, but thats it. I am happy that a far away team won. When the Pats are in the play offs it makes this area go crazy! The first thing they report on the news isnt fire, floods, or earthquakes, its sports! This is such a crazy area.
Happy Birthday UC.
Jack the cat is off his pain meds, and feeling some better, but this thing has been going in cycles and I am on guard for the next event. Woke to the sound of a cat yakking in my doorway at 6am! Thanks Jack, remind me to wear my slippers when I get up. I am on the hunt for consults this week to discuss this poor cat and what we can do for him.
More snow tomorrow. This is silly, and yes OKC is getting spanked! that just aint normal. Have fun playing in it.

as far as Jack the cat I have tried multiple remedies to get him around that stressful corner. He is on antidepressants, he is on anti anxiety meds, he has been given accupuncture, and cat massage and so on. This far nothing has worked, and he remained a stressed out mess. He was quickly headed towards another flare of this awful disease when I spoke to yet another vet. This vet reccomended a feline hormone spray that can be purchased commercially called Feliway. Skeptical and upset that even more of my money is chasing down the drain, now I need to buy him his own cat spray? Purchased the stuff online and even used over night shipping. LOADS of money for that trip. I sprayed a simple new toy with the stuff. (so it wouldnt have any old smells on it) and let it dry and then laid it in his bed. 3 minutes later...he was sound asleep and purring! WTF is in this stuff?! He was calm the rest of the afternoon, and even slept thru the night! He has stretched, and played with toys long since forgotten. Im simply amazed! feliway.com if you want to know about this product. What are the rest of you doing?

Granny is having back surgery today. Big operation, nothing to sneeze at. Please, everyone wish for the best, and keep her in your prayers.
They are putting steel rods in her back. This operation is supposed to ease a huge majority of her existing back pain. She will be in the hospital for one week, and then in rehab for 2 weeks. After that, I will be going to stay with her for a while, I'm not sure how long.
When that day comes, I will be away from the internet for a while, I dunno how long exactly.

Actually they make a bigger deal out of that surgery than they should. It's major, no mistake, but the actual hard part about it is getting the patient to sit the fuck still till it heals (and good luck with that). One of our supervisors at work had the surgery twice with no complications, only she fell on ice after the first time and the rods uh...well let's just say they uh, moved.
So keep granny on her butt till it heals up.
