I wonder if they make gluten-free jello?

[vixmom]

A BIG THANKYOU to Edisaurus!  I am now the proud owner of a bell - not just any bell though, it's one of those desk bells that you see the hotel managers ringing when they want a bellhop's attention.

I love it!!  It got quite a workout this afternoon.

The Vixter asks "Edi, what did I ever do to you?"

[DERBRUCER]

I find it amazing if your wife never found out in all the years after.

The security issue boggles my mind.  It has always seemed to me the need to have a "dual" identity makes an employer a greater risk to be blackmailed to give up information.

I think some people just choose to believe (or dis-believe) what they will.

She came out here to visit my daughter for Christmas - and Woody and I were both there for the day. (I am told by others that anyone who sees Woody and I together for more than a hour or so can tell we're a couple.)

Your point on "blackmail;" is dead on. An openly gay man is no secuity threat - the closet ones, however, are.

The same twisted thinking finds its way into the gays in the military debate. The "we don't want to share living quarters with gay men" argument is absurd. They have been, are now, and will be sharing quarters with gay men - the only issue is do they want to know who they are. If they think the idea of sharing communal showers with gay men is a problem, imagine the problem of closeted gay men sharing communal showers with straight men! Talk about "mind control'!!!

PS Apparently I was the last to find out that everybody in my Philly family was already pretty sure of the score.

Hello!  Well I took a half dose - 1 teaspoon instead of two - no nausea but I did have a three hour nap.  I am feeling much better however.

Great news!

Tell the Vixter she made me laugh.

I think they make jello around Sioux City somewhere, at least the gelatin that they add the flavor to

Well, gelatin plants are usually near slaughter houses, so....

I wonder if our vegitarian friends know the following contain meat by-products:

Jello
Powdered Milk (not just the dairy part)
Merinque
Taffy
Marshallow
Fondant (use in cake decorating)

der Brucer

Jello-yes
Marshmallows-yes
Powdered milk-not in the list of ingredients I see
Meringue & Taffy-where?
Fondant-Does it depend how it is made?

Sometimes I don't really want to know

I did not steal that recipe, it's lies,  tell you, lies!

That is funny.  I know I wouldn't ask the question.  I figure if the person wants to tell fine.  I imagine asking & you are wrong would be worse than asking a woman if she is pregnant when she isn't.

THe Vixter was just collected by her friend (her parents are driving) to go attend the high school play "Diary of Ann Frank"

Well, that should cheer her up

 Many years ago I ran into a old school mate at a party.  She had been married about a year - she was wearing one of those high waisted dresses, where the waist is right below the bust line and she definitely had a big round belly under there..  I then congratulated her on her preganancy...of course she was not!   


Since then I vowed never to congratulate a woman on her pregnancy unless she personally told me she was.

She's taking a drama class so she is required to see it and critique it as a class assignment.

Ok, I swear I'm going to be better about reading posts now.  But boy it has it been a crazy week.
What a night last night was, I am exhausted!  I brought Toby in yesterday morning for his 10 am 4 month check-up.  I noticed his breathing was getting more and more labored, so we went in early because I was getting antsy about it.  The nurses heard him and immediately were really concerned.  The doctor came in and said "Ok, I'm sending you over to the Children's Hospital ER.  The hospital is connected to my Group Health building by an under-street tunnel, so we just picked up our stuff and a nurse walked us over. 
We spent six hours sitting in the ER so they could monitor his condition.  His oxygen levels were good, but he was really having to work hard to keep them there.  They gave him a few breathing treatments, not albuterol, but just stuff to help loosen up all the gunk in his lungs.  Poor little guy just coughed and coughed.  They also used their turbo-nose sucker to help suction out a lot of the stuff in there. 
By about 4 pm, he was sounding a lot better, but they decided to err on the side of caution and admit him for the night to keep an eye on him. 
His preemie history meant that he's prone to respiratory things, and they wanted him in the hospital in case things went downhill quickly. 
So Toby and I sat in a little room in the Observation Unit all night.  They did three more breathing treatments on him. and he coughed a lot. slept a bit, and nursed a ton.   
I slept maybe two hours total, since I spent most of the night sitting up in a chair rocking him.  In the morning they decided he was looking better, breathing better, and still eating normally, so we could go home.  We have a follow up appointment next week, but the pedi in the hospital said he was pretty sure that we were over the worst of it, and he'd start getting better from now on.  I sure hope so!!

~~~Continued Vibes for DRs Ann and Jed and DS Toby!!~~~

Oh... I like that one too, but it's actually a reference to yesterday's events on the Hudson...

What Would Sully Do?

Thanks for the vibage--wife and son are safely in NC and on their way to Greensboro via motorcar for the festivities.

I wonder if they make gluten-free jello?

I still haven't watched any of my Elizabeth Gaskell DVDs , including the much lauded Cranford.  Since the Vixter is out and vixdad won't be home until after nine (since he was out getting my meds this morning) maybe the time has come to take a peek!

[DAW]

For that matter...

What Would Simbulan Do?           [Don't answer that, DR Ron Pulliam!]

I, too, love Milhaud.  I have a copy of his autobiography - signed.

My DS used to get croup in the wintertime. It's scary when your baby can't breathe.

OH!


They keep breaking into the TV shows to show the mayors of New York and New Jersey congratulating the rescuers and they keep showing the same clips over and over


I heard they are planning on lifting the whole plane up on to a barge tomorrow and taking it somewhere to be examined.   They are trying to find the engines, both of which fell off during the ordeal.


I wonder if the passengers will get their (soggy) luggage back.

We're watching the Sweeney Todd film.
