D-League

[UKWILDCAT2004]

Typical Monday of work. Church league softball game tonight. It's hot today. I don't like Monday's and they typically don't like me.

Still upset with our "do nothing" strategy against terrorism. I watched 13 hours over the weekend.

Hey computer guys. How do I transfer pictures from My Pictures in Windows on my computer to a paddock post?

Oh ... Don, you're excused from answering.

You need third-party hosting, like a free Blogger site owned by Google. That's what I use. Open an account. Upload your pics there, then copy the image location over into a post.

For anyone who think a woman's place is in the kitchen, remember that's where the knives are kept.

Thanks. Can you provide a link to the free Google blogger site?

awww thanks hon
I've been told as much, before (being an old soul) - I don't consider any of you as senile/out-of-touch/dinosaurs; especially since hubby is almost 54, himself.
Enjoy chatting with you all

Young whipper snapper!

That is why women are in there. Lately I have started cooking just to keep Sherry at bay.

By God, America needs to go there and plant the flag. And, as it's only 120 feet across, it would definitely be 'one small step for man.' Wouldn't want to fall off the other side.

I am glad a hell you are here old man.

You could also use photobucket.com.

I haven't compared the two sites.

I can't wait until Jan. 20, 2017. Something has got to give.

It's Monday. And the candy stripers have arrived. Nice, polite young ladies all. 3 of them in our department. 2 are 14, one 15. I'm leaving them in the capable hands of the women co-workers since I'm horrible on trying to find busy work for them to do!

Well I fight Authority. Authority always wins.

What scares me is if Hilary wins it will be a third term of obummer er I mean obama on steroids.

hey y'all
update on the kid - now 4'8" and 71 pounds. (at 11, he's on the small side, but is growing on a good curve, not bad for a 4 pounder at birth!) upped his ADHD meds by 10 mg, and referred us to a pediatric psychiatrist for the anxiety/depression issues. @MdWIldcat55; doc mentioned same thing you did about the anxiety meds, that if they are necessary, and we get him on the right one with the right dosage, we could greatly reduce the ADHD meds. Otherwise, in good health - has sinus arrhythmia, but nothing to be concerned with (knew about it before).

Anyway other than that, uneventful day; thinking I'll run out and pick up something for dinner.
Hope y'all are well

That all sounds promising, and familiar to me, BKO. He's lucky to have you and your husband so intelligently involved in his welfare. As people who have been through it tell me about my son, he'll come out of it healthy and strong.

thank you for saying that; as a parent of a child with these obstacles to overcome, you understand how difficult it can get at times.
Going to be a tough road but we'll get through

 

[ymmot31]

Glad to have you back 55, you've been missed.

 

[ymmot31]

Don I'm sorry to hear that about #3. I know how proud you must have been. Maybe he'll get another chance, especially since he was considered before, he's still the same man.

 

[ymmot31]

I'll drink to that.

I bet you have a rubber stamp that says that.

My trial was (and still is) with a bi-polar daughter (49 and lives with us now). She was different at a very early age. Bi-polar disorder was not even on the radar back then. She was extremely smart but school wanted to hold her back a year because of "immaturity" issues.It didn't happen and it would not have helped. Nobody mentioned suspicions that she might be bi-polar (I think they might catch that today). Crazy teenage years but we thought she would grow out of it. Nope. Wish we had known and maybe have gotten her some help when she was young. She went to a church youth camp one year and the counselor told me (get this) that he thought she was demon-possessed!

Lordy mercy. She's been married and divorced three times (Lord only knows how many shackups) She was homeless for more than five years, with us not knowing where she was. We just waited for the phone call telling us she was dead.

She finally came in out of the cold and has lived with us for the last two years. Successfully got off meth cold turkey and walks out of the room if something about drugs comes on television. She's very ashamed about her past life. She takes her meds regularly now and sees a psychiatrist monthly and is doing well - easy to live with. She cannot function in society however. I thank God she's back.

Morning, D
Coffee is a good and necessary thing
Was a pretty good weekend - got my car on Friday, Anniversary on Saturday, and Father's Day yesterday. Although, I do have to say Father's Day was rough on the hubby, but we did our best to make it good for him. I hated that he had to work at 6pm, but maybe it wasn't such a bad thing for him, considering.
Dr appointment for youngest son today - have to discuss his issues with the pediatrician, including upping dosage on his ADHD meds (I've held off on that as long as I could) and the severe anxiety with which he was diagnosed by a specialist through the school. Want what is best for my son, and to help him all we can, but hate the thought of the medications.
Have the granddaughter this morning - one of the lights of my life, let me tell you. All three of my kids are, as is my husband.
Hope everyone is well, today

Bev. I worked in special Ed department in my high school years and college. I thought it was my career choice but ended up not being

Anyways back to what I was going to say. I was on ADD meds most of my life. When I was a kid they hadn't added the H to it. Anyways. We had a severely autistic kid in our school. He barely spoke. Mostly noises and outbursts. He was 16/17 and barely could function in school environment. He made these noises and twitches all the time. Doctors kept increasing his meds. I had a friend that had Tourette syndrome. His own mom said that's what he was like when he was younger. Now granted my friend was not autistic.

Anyways. They ended up putting this severely autistic kid on meds for Tourette's. After a year he was communicating on a 2nd grade level and taking instruction with lesser outbursts and mood swings. He was very over weight before and lost like 50 pounds.

Not that any of this is relevant to you or your child but there are always different approaches. I know this dramatically changed this kid and his parents life because another parent offered an opinion. Instead of increasing adhd meds that hasn't worked for 16 years they tried something else with dramatic results. I don't know you or you child's situation and what tests have been conducted but it's always worth another opinion before going down same medication road with larger doses

I hope all works out for you and your family gets some peace of mind from whatever happens. God bless

thank you for sharing that, though - if some of the young guys are reading this maybe it'll help
I'm grateful, that, although we've had some tough times with our son - he's young and is getting help very early. There is time to help him get on a good path.

I got a blogger account. I transferred my pictures into my blogger account (copy and paste).

1 When I log into my blogger account, how do I find the pictures I transferred there? (I didn't see how to get to them).

2 How do I get them to transfor here? I tried to "copy" the picture but it doesn't paste on here.

Thanks.

Appreciate that - thank you.
We're exploring all options; We have kept him on the lowest dose possible for his meds and were reluctant to increase dosage. There is no doubt they helped immensely, though. Last year or two he's developed this anxiety, and a measure of depression. We're going to see the pediatric psychiatrist to evaluate him and discuss options.

 

[W2R]

@Bkocats also in college I was on my highest dose of adhd meds ever in my life. They Started causing panick attacks and insomnia. They had me on time release and tested me constantly to make sure was in my system. They put me on anxiety medicine to cope. Kinda like the old saying take one pill for this and another for the side effects. In the end I went back to my single dose of not time released meds and didn't have the anxiety attacks anymore. Those anxiety and depression meds can really mess with you and your sanity. Actually all of them can. Not to mention I was in college and living like a college kid does. That didn't help matters

Starchief, when you spoke about that Book, and even previous to that, I knew you was a special guy, a great and kind person. Just had that suspicion. Your story confirms that to me at least. God bless you in all that you continue to do for your family. FCC.

Do we caftan? Do we?

Well, assuming we don't kill ourselves and the species goes extinct (most likely) and that were are capable of moving on before the sun expands in 5 billion years. Then yes, assuming the universe has no bounds, then we would have that amount of time before the universe expanded to the point that based on current knowledge, it ends in a long, slow decline known as the big freeze. In this scenario, the universe continues expanding and gradually runs down to a state of zero thermodynamic free energy in which it is unable to sustain motion or life. Eventually, over a time scale of a hundred trillion years or so, it would reach a state of maximum entropy at a temperature of very close to absolute zero, where the universe simply becomes too cold to sustain life, and all that would remain are burned-out stars, cold dead planets and black holes.

That's a lot of big ifs. I can see us progressing to the point we build a large spacecraft capable of traveling through space and sustaining multiple generations of humans. Whether they ever find a place to inhabit is extremely unlikely.

Nothing lasts forever.
