What's up with you

Let's see... I have been playing around with my group, The Last Word... We have been having a blast over there! (If your a Multiply member... come check it out!!)

Yes, I did get the new phone yesterday! YIPEE!! It's sweet! (In case you missed it... the LG Chocolate I had was having glitches & I was able to exchange it for the LG enV2!!!)

Grandma is doing ok... She gave us another scare the other day... her blood pressure was 90 over 30! Yeah... that's INCREDIBLY LOW!! I've had 80 over 50 before... but not any lower. However, I usually run a low reading. Grandma has / had HIGH blood pressure... so much they had her on medicine... but the Hospice nurse said don't give her anymore.

Her lungs sounded clear yesterday & she was getting the much needed sleep. She had kept my sister Gina up most of the night before... & during the day she was confused to what was going on. She even was going through everything & tried to give it away to the day nurse. Yes, she has Alzheimer's. Just keep her in your prayers.

On a different note... over the weekend one of hubby's buddy's was having a garage sale & had some stuff toys that didn't sell... They gave us our pick... For the dogs to tear up! So, I picked out the 10 that I thought would be best. Sunny already has one teddy bear torn apart. I will try to get some pictures up on their blog with a couple of the toys... A couple of them are a bit big & are funny to watch the dogs sniff & try to attack them!

Oh yeah... and the other day... when I had them out... Coleman tried to chase after a dog that was walking by... but since he was on a leash he didn't get far... however... the spring inside that winds the leash back up broke! So, now we have just been using the one we use for Sunny... She's good without it... only problem is the neighbors had "friends" over tonight... & they were out there goading her to run over there... Thankfully she just stood in our driveway & gave them a bark like, "Eh, you want a piece of me? Maybe tomorrow!" & with that she turned back to the door & was ready to go inside! LOL!

It's the last day of July... just means Fall is just that much closer! I can't wait! This heat & humidity is terrible... I stay indoors 99% of the time! I really don't know how hubby can stand to work in this! Ok... ok... I know, I know... it's not near as bad as some of you have it... just keep in mind... I CAN'T STAND THE HEAT!! What's strange though... I used to love Summer... NOT ANYMORE!!!

I think that does it for now. Have a GREAT weekend!!

Just for fun... again

You Are Cereal

Playful and lighthearted, breakfast is likely your favorite meal of the day. (In fact, you're probably the type who sneaks cereal as a midnight snack.) Your culinary skills are probably a bit lacking... and you are a sucker for junk food. Some people accuse you of eating like a kid, but you prefer to think of yourself as low maintenance.

What Kind of Breakfast Are You?

Can we do the same thing as last year? It's my sister's birthday!

Last year on 360 I posted a blog for my sister's birthday & invited anyone & everyone to leave a birthday wish for her. Unknown to me, she was having a bad day & it really had made her day. So, I am asking the same thing again... (haven't talked to her yet, so, I don't know how her day is going. I hope it's going a lot better than last night had been. Just issues with Grandma being confused & etc. I'll explain that later.)

So, will you all join me now, please & sing...
*clears throat*

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR GINA...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!

(LOVE YA SIS!!!)

Will you please leave a comment below with birthday wishes for my sister Gina... And if you speak more than one language... could you leave your wish in your native language (ie: Zafreud would post a Greek message.) ... and also please translate so we / she know what it says.

Last year, she enjoyed seeing all the different messages around the world & in the different languages. (She speaks multiple ones... can't think of how many or which ones at the moment.)... So, I hope we can have just as many this year.

Last year I posted a question in Yahoo Answers... but I don't want to do that this year, because I don't want it "reported" as not a real question. (When actually it was.) So, if you were among my friends last year at this time... I won't be doing that this time.

1 thing I'm not looking for is this to be a "party blog"... Because Gina will be reading the messages... & a party blog would not make sense to her.

So, please, dazzle her with your favorite birthday graphics (she's married & a Christian, so nothing obscene or anything close to it, please & thank you!) & any other message you'd like her to see. If possible, not too big of graphics, ok? Don't want to slow the blog way down. :)

(Side note: Gina & her hubby Aloys are the ones that's been taking care of Grandma... Just thought I'd mention it.)

With out further adieu... Let's get on with the Celebration of Gina's Birthday!!

If you could... please post a note in your own blog / review asking your friends to stop over here to leave a message for her. I'd be eternally grateful!! Be sure to add a link to this blog, for them to have easier access.

Cell phone update...

Ok... this morning I had the "bright idea" that I may have been stiffed on my cell phone... Soon as I woke up enough to make a call, I grabbed my phone & called VZ....

I explained to the lady that I had been given a date of when I would get my Chocolate... & this time I was told only 7 to 10 business days... I, also, informed her that shortly after my hubby had received a confirmation email along with a tracking #... but this time I have not seen anything. (While she had be on hold to look at my account I turned the JunkYard on & searched hubby's email... nope, nothing there!)

She came back & said she found the order but no tracking #... & said she had some case #. She said she was going to put me on a "2 minute hold" while she called Fed-Ex to see if they had a # generated yet.

Well, a couple minutes later I get "Hello, thank you for calling Fed-Ex, how may I help you?" ... I'm like uh... "Hello? Is the Vz lady on here too?" "You're calling Fed-Ex"... I said, I was not really the one calling... but seems I must have been transferred.

I explained to the Fed-Ex agent I was looking for a tracking # for my phone... & so she tried to search for my name & address, but didn't find anything. (Figures!!) "You'll have to call Vz"... "Uh... that's who I had called... I didn't call you!" (Not angrily said... because it wasn't her fault... also, I laughed internally... again... FIGURES!!)

So... I dialed *611 again (Vz customer service) & this nice man Jerome (I think... have it written down in the other room) answered & I explained to him what I was trying to achieve... He asked me a few questions & looked at my account. (Oh... he NEVER put me on hold!!!) And some how we got into talking about how all this started... So, I told him all the way back from how I first went to order the Chocolate & how the guy ordered it on my hubby's phone, instead of mine & how the contract dates for the phones are still messed up &... well, all of it.

This guy was very sympathetic & said... "well, tell you what... I do not see an order... but I do see a case #... but it's for something to do with pix place issue." "Yeah... that was a separate thing I dealt with the other day."

"Well, I do not see an order... so I am going to do this... I am going to ship you out the phone & you will receive it tomorrow sometime by 3:00p.m."

To make a long story short I was on the phone for over of an hour with this guy & he ended up making sure I get the phone at no charge & made sure all the plans & everything stayed the way they should & fixed the dates in their system... this way hubby won't have any problem getting a new phone... when he's ready... HOPEFULLY!!

And he's supposedly given me credit & made very good notes that when I call back to get it activated of the problems before & so on & so on... So, we'll see how it all works out!! :)

I'm remaining guarded but optimistic that this guy has worked it all out!

And I am now can't wait until I get this tomorrow!! Oh, I did receive a tracking # this afternoon! So, now I know it's on it's way!!!!! :) :) :)

Watch out Maegan & PassionWolf... I am going to be a texting you!!! LOL (I just have to remember I have a limit of only 250 messages!!!)

(The picture is off of Google. I do have pictures of the Chocolate & I will post it later along with pictures of the Env2 when I can!!) :)

The Friday Five (movies)

Rating:	★★★★★

I can't remember who starts this each week... but I swiped this one from Kanga... I didn't see it until now, that's why it's a day late. LOL

List 5 movies that either:
1. Took your breath away...
2. Left a profound impact on you that you could not shake for a few days or hours...
3. That you have watched so many times that you know the script line by line...
4. That you laughed so hard you thought your stomach would burst...
5. Or one that unexpectedly put a lump in your throat.
****************

1. Premonition is one that unexpectedly put a lump in my throat... & took my breath away... AND it had an impact on me...
2. Twister; WarGames; Back to the Future Trilogy; Top Gun & Days of Thunder are all movies that I've watched so many times.... But not sure if I could say I know every line by heart.
3. Wild Hogs is one that had me laughing extremely hard!!
4. Since I just saw Hancock... I have to say that's another one that has sort of impacted me... Just the last 15 minutes or so had me on the edge of my seat!!
5. The Day after Tomorrow (the one about the "global warming" is the one I'd have to say that's left the biggest impact on me... so far!!

I could go on & on... but that's all I can think of right now... & besides it really only asked for 5!! LOL :)

Safe landing

Wow!! That's all I can really say... is WOW! & Congrats to the pilots for a job well done!! (Round of applause is well deserved!!)

This even says so... (Thanks Buggal!!) :)

You Are Occasionally a Wimp

You're pretty tough in every day life. You don't back down easily. However, you can be a wimp at times, especially in stressful situations. You can be overwhelmed or intimidated or just plain scared when life gets rough. While these are natural reactions, you may want to face your fears a little more.

Is anyone else having problems getting to the game?? I can't even seem to get to the home page of the group??? ODD!!!!!

UPDATE!! Vet emergency

I have to run Sunny to the vet... that rash she had is worse again (it was getting better... we thought it was a food allergy.)

Only thing is I have to drop her off & they will look at her when they can... & then call me after for me to pick her up.

I'm trying to see if I can get to my mom's vet instead.

I'll be back later! :)

UPDATE:
When we arrived at the vet they said they were all caught up & I could just stay there & wait with Sunny. The "nurse" took us to a room & Sunny immediately started crying & pacing back & forth. I finally got her up on my lap (after sitting in a very unstable wooden chair) & she would not stop fidgeting. (Just like a little kid! LOL)

Finally the vet came in looked her over & then got a black light & looked at a couple of the spots with it & said yep it's some type of fungal. (Side note: if this vet charged to see the dogs, I would not be going to her... she just is so... I don't know... seems to "guess" at what stuff is. Besides, Passion Wolf told me once that this vet was very rude to her over the phone. But the other gals are extremely nice!) Anyway, she said she'd get me some meds & special shampoo for Sunny... Only problem is I had no money & none in my checking account... So, I have to wait until hubby gets home to get the meds & shampoo. It may have to wait until tomorrow, depending on what time he gets home.

So, anyway... it's not ring worm (which I had thought) from what the vet was saying... only thing is she sort of said it might be. But then said it was a fungal. (See what I mean... she's odd that way. She's nice & all... just really odd.) She said that Sunny would have to be on the meds for 3 to 4 to 6 to 8 weeks. (which is it?? I don't know!!) All I do know is Hubby is NOT going to be happy that we're going to have get meds for the dog. At least I'm going to put my foot down about at least getting the special shampoo... I think that would help the best.

By the way... my mom's vet charges $32 just for the office visit... & they did not have any openings anyway.

Well, that's what my morning... mid day was like today.

& Yes... I do wash my hand really good after messing with Sunny. Her skin is usually oily that I have to anyway.

I'm off now to go see how "The Last Word" game is going... Later!
