I have to say I hardly ever have any reaction to flu shots, but this time it feels like she left part of the needle in there.

But I'd rather have arm soreness than flu symptoms any day!   :)

Draculaura and companion are mine to keep - amazon France wrote back and told me it's not worth them having to pay for the return postage.  The item is worth sixty bucks, though, so I now own these :)

That happened to my sister's boyfriend a few years ago with a shipment from Amazon.co.uk...he got someone else's shipment (but not his) and e-mailed them and they said to keep it.  They sent out another of whatever it was that he ordered.  That's an example of good customer service.

If they say keep it I really want to know what the dolls are ;)

After the first year of taking the shots I had bone improvement.  I was somewhat disappointed in the amount of improvement, but still it was better than it had been.

That would be a good title for a horror movie: The Fridge.  Whatever you do, DON'T OPEN THE REFRIGERATOR!  I like it.  I've begun the script already.

Year two... SIGH.

The good news is that my spine continued to improve and looks good. 

The bad news is that not only did my hip not improve it got worst.  I didn't even know that was a possibility while on this medication. I'm extremely disappointed and don't understand my the medication stopped working.

Before looking at the results the doctor told me to fill one last injection pen of meds.  After, he said not to bother.

I need to try and focus on the happy news because I'm too focused on what would happen if I fall on my hip. I know, I would rather break my hip than my spine :)

"A Pocketful of Miracles" is tonight's film. Not Capra's best, but it has its moments. Peter Falk is especially wonderful.

Until later.

Loud talkers drive me crazy - especially at work -  you're sitting at your desk trying to read something  and  someone is literally screaming about their weekend to someone else standing 5 inches from them

I so want to say "inside voices please!!"

I waa taught that when you call someone  first of all you listen to what the person who answers the phone says

we answer the phone  "law office  (insert your name here ) speaking   How may I help you?

You can answer the phone by saying  Mary speaking and the idiot on the other side of the phone says " MARY!"

"Yes how may I help you?"

 "MARY!!"

"This is she, how may I help you?"

"She, I want to speak to Mary"

 'This isMary ,how may I help you?"(desperately wanting to say - you bloody moron)

"Did you get my  fax?"
(desperately want to say  how the hell should I know?  WHO are you?!!"

" Who is calling please?"

 "I just want to know if you got my fax "

 etc etc etc

what happened to  "good morning/afternoon/eveing this is Joe Blow, may I please speak to  whatsit?"

Well, I got most of a freelance article I needed to do written. I enjoy writing for these people but they always want 1,100-1,200 words and I just don't think people read that much in a tourist publication.
