I can relate completely! I have 2 sons, 14 and 15 years old. They went from little boys who thought the world revolved around Mommy to reserved young men who need their space and privacy. They seem...

A+ and it's been 40 years for me.

Will be 40 years in May. :)

Mamafear, I too, am with you 100%. I think you handled the whole situation admirably! Far better than I would have. My first instinct would have been 1. to head for the nearest exit and vanish. or 2....

I have a friend who just had norovirus. She came down with it a week ago Sat night. She is a nurse and went to work for 12:00 am Sat. She said she started having bad stomach pain @ 3:00 am. Enough...

Yuck!!


Apple pie?

Absolutely right!

yum!

Turkey stuffing?

I understand completely!

I called ahead and told them my fear. They let me sit in an area way away from other people. They may look at you weirdly, but so what? Trust me, it will be well worth it to get meds that will help...

I am on an antidepressant which takes away the obsessiveness/compulsiveness about norovirus, that is I don't dwell on it all the time. I can relax more. And before the antidepressant kicks in fully...

Migraines are horrible! The closest I came to v*ing in 20 + years was due to a migraine. I have to take advil the minute I start to feel a headache coming on.

3. I have 5 brothers and sisters.
4. I have always wanted to own a bakery.

True! I love ice cream (especially heavenly hash). :)


TPBM prefers showers to baths.

James Herriot's "It Shouldn't Happen to a Vet". Hilarious stuff. I laugh out loud. Really good stress relief!

Being watched by a duck ;) Not afraid of that !

Opening presents Christmas day or Christmas Eve?

I used to watch Star Trek - NG. Not into it anymore.


I have never been to Asia.

Yuck ;)

Eggnog?

Roasted almonds :)

I have never taken one, but the pill always makes me feel nauseous so I take a gravol just ahead of it. Maybe you can call a pharmacist and see what they would advise? They may know of some ways to...

Yes, not very reassuring is it! I must say it is easier for me now that my boys are young teenagers and can manage without much help from me when they are ill. It was very difficult when they were...
