OCD SUPPORT GROUP - SESSION 131 :: The Cozy Cottage

[fhmmany2]

 

I cooked lunch and sent Lewis off to deal with the house, so I have a chance to be here now.

Glory - I posted some photos of our persimmon tree in the garden thread - do you know what you will be doing at your new job? How can they raise your rent until they see if you will actually like the job and will want to stay there?

Thea - I am thinking about you and your test  How awful that they have been doing therapy on your Mom when she has a fracture. 

Betty - Gumbo will be as happy to have us home as we will to be there. He has not gotten out of his pen in the evenings as usual - we are afraid to leave him out with us not there. I hope your feelings about Clay are correct -hope everything will be O.K. for him.

Marlene - I read on CM  yesterday evening that Roger was not doing as well as you first thought - hope he is better today.

Mimi2 - I have not heard that song before, but you are right - life is sometimes very hard. We have to appreciate the good times and hang together during the bad times - all Clay fans have surely learned that!

Woody - hope you are feeling better today, and hope all goes well at school.

Prissy - hope Skip's test will be O.K. - you will have to take him out to eat afterwards - he will be starving!

Carol - Clay has had a cat fan for a long time - Sasha's cat Chloe loves him, too - you two will have to get your cats together! 

Kat - I'm hoping for no homework for you.

Going to look around the site a little while I have the chance.....................

Woody, you sound like me.  I get up during the night frequently.  Usually I can go right back to sleep, but sometimes I can't.  If I don't fall asleep after a certain period of time, I'll get up and do something; laundry, cleaning the kitchen, or something that doesn't make too much noise so that I don't wake anyone.  I figure I may as well make use of the time instead of just lying there.  I hope you eventually can catch up on your sleep.

Bye for now.

Debbie

Frankie -
Your right, Clay fans have learned thru good times and bad times....so has Clay, when you think of all he's been thru...and that's just the stuff that he has told us.  That song is one of my favorites, the melody goes along with the words...kind of sad and sweet.  My son keeps threatening to upload my stuff on youtube.  He's great at the computer, not me.  I can't even firgure out how to use the little emo's above this box.  DUMB!

     Glory,
                It does"nt seem right to raise your rent when you have"nt even
         started work.There does"nt seem to be any help for people who really need it.
             Hope you enjoyed your milk and doughnuts, though it does"nt seem much
           for dinner.
                         Hope you feel better soon.
                       
                                                     Hugs,
                                                                                        Betty

Meesa,

This is the colon test where a camera goes into the colon and I believe the doctor will scrape off some of the polyps to have them tested. 

Oh. It's a colonoscopy then. I hope all goes well. 

[corbet]

   Thea,
            Big prayers for good news tomorrow. I hope all the lesions are benign. 
        It must be hard to have  something like this hanging over you, remember
        you have a whole lot of love coming your way.
           
                                   Hugs,            Betty

FRANKIE, I am watching the weather and they are showing this new Hurricane Gustav  looks like it could come near you or it will go to Florida!!!  I hope and pray it goes away it looks like a nasty one.  You sure don't need that. 


WOODY, I don't remember that you use to have trouble getting  up in the morning.  I am worried about you as I can see the stress taking its toll.  I wish your daughter still lived near by if you will be living by yourself this winter.   How is she doing???  I hope she is meeting tons of new people.  To bad the house didn't get sold this summer so you could be moved already.  I know right now you must feel so unsettled.  Glad you are drinking that cranberry juice up every day.

AC, I will try it again, forgot what I wrote to you  as it was gone when I came back the other day.  I do know I told you that I have actually turned football games off because of the commentators they drove me nutty.  Another thing I hate it when we are watching the game and they have a guest in the Press Box and they keep talking to him and showing him while the game is going on.  Drives me bonkers.  Don' really have any  favorites this year, so many changes in the football team rooster, I am going to have to figure out who plays for who.

[corbet]

   
      Marlene,
                          I"m so sorry Roger has had a set back. I expect this can happen because
        his throat must be very sore. Hope he soon feels beter.
                   You must be tired too and worried. Try to get some rest.
                                           
                                         Hugs,
                                                    Betty
 

[corbet]

   Prissy,
               I"ll say a prayer for Skip going through his colonoscopy and that the
     
  results will be all good.
 


   FRANKIE,
                   Won"t it be wonderful when you are all back in your home.The boys will be
       happy. Maybe not the turtles.!!!
               Yes! I  still have good vibes about Clay, seems like all my worrying about him
             has flown away.He is going to be fine.




CAROL,
              How cute that Rusty likes Clay, he must be a very smart cat. Not sure if Clay would be happy
         about that or not? Hey! A fan is a fan!!!!

I have actually turned football games off because of the commentators they drove me nutty.  Another thing I hate it when we are watching the game and they have a guest in the Press Box and they keep talking to him and showing him while the game is going on.  Drives me bonkers.

There are very few broadcasters who I prefer not to listen to once I hear them...and I also hate it when they have on a guest, not even football related, and they spend the majority of half a quarter talking to him. Fox is the network notorious for that...Joe Buck often conducts interviews with celebrities who happen to be at the game while the game itself is shrunk to a small box on the lower right corner while the guest, Joe, and Troy Aikman talk...usually, though, Aikman doesn't talk much during those kinds of events...giving the impression that it's Joe's idea. I've seen it happen on the CBS games as well...i don't think you have but if you or anyone's heard the radio version of Monday Night Football with Marv Albert and Boomer Esiason they've been known to have a guest stop by during one of the quarters. In my opinion it's all based on my viewpoint of who they have as a guest...if it's a slow game without much action I can see the broadcaster doing whatever it took to make things lively...nowadays, though, if a game isn't exciting the network will switch to another game I'd been watching games between teams that weren't doing much and Greg Gumble, for example, would interrupt the game from a studio and say "we're switching over to..." and he'd say what the game was, etc etc in hopes of keeping viewers tuned to the network. Jim Nantz is a broadcaster whom I'm not a really big fan of...he does college basketball, golf, and football but critics say his personal favorite sport to cover is college basketball because his voice and demeanor seem to be more into basketball games than the football games that he broadcasts. Jim and Billy Packer often do basketball games together. Jim's football broadcasting partner is Phil Simms. Anyway, Nantz is okay for what he does but he's not among my favorites when it comes to broadcasters.

    Woody,
                 Getting up lots through the night is for the birds. I find it hard to get back
       to sleep again. I have started to put the TV on for  about thirty minutes and it
       takes my mind off the thinking I do at night, then I find I can go back to sleep
       till my next trip.
                                   Thinking at night is  a pain.
                           Fedderer is playing tonight on US Open.

AC, I like Phil Simms alright.  His son played as a quarterback was it for Tampa Bay?  I think he got hurt and never knew if he didn't come back because of injuries or because he wasn't very good.  I hate to watch a game on FOX on Monday night football, they drive me totally insane.  Marv Albert used to be pretty good till he got himself in trouble.  Frank Gifford used to be good to till he got in big trouble~   .  I like Jim Nantz on golf tournaments, think he is good. 

[Clayhottiefan007]

Hey Pepe

[Pepe]

KAT,  glad to see you got a good grade on your test!  Good for you!

I am off to take a shower and watch some more baseball and read a little.  I am putting my iwnter pajamas on as it is cold here going down to 44 degrees tonight~~~~~~~~~

[woodstock2]

 

I thought I would check in before tackling my evening list.....don't worry....it's not too long.     Now that the Union Contract negotiations are finished and we have come to some sort of agreement with the school board, we all (on the team) have a copy of the contract and must go over it with a fine tooth comb so they didn't slip anything past us.  Then tomorrow we have a meeting in the evening to sign off.

School was fine.  I made one teacher very happy because she was the first one to schedule her students on my schedule and she was so appreciative!!!  AND, one of the secretaries has offered to be the Market Day chairperson, something I've been wrestling with for days, so she made MY day.  But there always has to be a spoiler.  The 2nd grade teacher that always gives us trouble got kind of mad at me because her student took 45 min. to take the test I was giving her...then I found she missed a page and a half.  The teacher wouldn't let me have her anymore today.  She said she already had to help her make up the 45 min. she was out with me.  GRUMP!!!  We are finishing 3 & 4 graders the next few days, and then hopefully we will have some sort of schedule.  All I know so far is that I have 2 1st graders that I start on Friday and I am very happy. 

On a not so happy note, our art teacher had surgery on a growth on her neck and found out today that it is cancerous.  That's all I know.  Prayers for Mary Jane to all to you lists.

My tummy was bothering me today, but seems to have settled down.  I bought a nice frozen shrimp scampi dinner for myself.  It'll probably make 3 meals for me.   

I hope you are all doing well.   

Frankie - It sure would be nice if things could get back to somewhat normal for you.   

Glory - The rent hardly seems fair, but I guess that's the way it goes.  You can't seem to win.

Debbie - I',m the same way at night.  I can only lay there so long.  I keep the TV on or a book handy.

Kat -  on your 91!!!

Pepe - Thanks for worrying about me.     I, too, am sure stress has something to do with my aches and pains, etc.  but this is the way we need to handle the situation at this time.  I'll be OK.  My daughter is doing fine.  She's not crazy about her roomates.  She said they're slobs.   

  and    all around!!!

QUESTION FOR ALL OF YOU:  This morning on the Today Show, I heard them say they were adding another judge to AI, and Paula Abdul would be on to give her reaction.  Did anyone see it???

Well, I just picked tomatoes.  They have been very nice this year.  But they make me itch when I pick them....so it's off to the shower and then a few other chores, including a yummy supper. 

Have a good evening everyone!!!
