Dr. Appt Today. I had to change doctors because I changed insurance. Unfortunately, with Fibromyalgia, you have to go to a Rheumatologist. However, the disease is not widely accepted, despite the advertising campaign. I’ve had some horrible experiences dealing with doctors whom do not accept the condition, even though it is a documented illness in the medical journals. Then you have to account for the fact that not all Rheumatologists treat the illness, followed up by a good portion of those just want to medicate you into a walking coma. So I estimate that maybe 15% of Rheumatologists actually treat the illness, with a smaller portion educating themselves and their patients on the best ways to deal. With quite a bit of reading on local doctors that actually took my insurance I called and asked the nurse at the new Dr. Office about Fibromyalgia and how they treated the illness. So while I was dreading this appointment – you have to do the whole new patient thing – I ...

Unspectacular Quirks? This was brought up by a former post from Ann. Everyone has quirks to their personalitly, its what either gives us a unique behavior, sense of humor, characher, style or persona, our individuality . I thought I could share mine with you then you... if only to make you laugh. Quirk: a peculiarity of action or behavior. Truly unspectacular quirks: 1. I research anything I don't understand or am interested in... I will look it up then dump the information onto the next poor person so asks me about the subject... I am the bearer of an unbelievable amount of useless facts, and just plain random information... hence why I get the question “why would you know that information?” 2. I absolutely hate embarrassing moments on TV or in the movies... I will leave a room or change the channel for a moment to escape watching it ... to the point where if I have the remote I click to change the channel, I do it unconsciously... until the other people in the ...

ast night our AC died... We live in Texas it's June and even at night it stays hot -- example its 7pm and is 95 [35 celisus]. Ah!! the last thing we need is to have to pay to have the AC repaired or replaced. We replaced our inside uint about 1 1/2 ago and cheap is not the word we could use for this. The whole thing together would of been around $8,000. The inside unit was probably the age of the freakin house but the outside unit was only about 10 years old. Anyway... got off track... Chris called in sick last night - stomach bug going around... which is something he never does so when he got overheated last night he tought it was because he was sick. I am in an ambien coma and I like it warmer so it didn't bother me. When I woke up this morning I honestly didn't notice - Bryan complained about it but he is a teenager and that's his job. But after a few minutes I realized he was right and checked the unit,,, inside looked fine... the outside wires can freeze over so I checked the ...

Here are a few of my favorites from an article/blog about how crazy Job Hunting can be and how crazy it is making me now. Job-hunting SUCKS! By JCP It's hard to look for a decent job with a decent company if you're a decent hard-working employee! http://www.theinsanedomain.com/Articles/lists/jobhunting.htm Applying for ANY job to pay your rent, but no one will hire you because you're overqualified and know that you'll be quitting the second you get another job offer somewhere else. Finding a mistake on your resume ONLY after you've mailed it out to everyone, and the mistake is in your phone number. Having to write a "personal statement" when really, all you want is a decent job that pays well and some coworkers that don't suck. Having people point out or suggest jobs to you that have NOTHING to do with what you really do, and they just don't get it. Looking at job listings online and they're filled with stupid ...

Hello from the long lost ghost of friends from the past... I come bearing good news and a story to tell. First the good news - TODAY I GRADUATE FROM THE UNIVERSITY ... I will have a Bachelor of Fine Arts, Art History & Criticism. Which translates to - I can draw a straight line with a ruler - tell you how it fits and is important in history - then criticize it. LOL. Now for the story... I will make it as short as possible. My last post was in August of 08, those of you who know the economy has taken a sharp dive, especially the real estate market, foreclosures etc. Anyway, I was working 60 hours a week on average - or basically every waking moment. While being a realtor gave me some freedom to work from home and make my own schedule it has a double edge sword that way. Of course I did my best not to fumble but I did... the upscale home construction company I worked with had to let a great percentage of staff go - I managed to be retained through the first wave of lay ...
