I think if I tried singing someone to sleep, they'd fall asleep just so that they wouldn't have to listen to me anymore.

Nickels sang the Hickory Park birthday song to me once. But it wasn't my birthday. And she wasnt enthusiastic when singing it either. So it sounded exactly like you hear it being sung by Hickory Park employees.

I think my 2.5 year old is turning british and snooty...he just asked where his 'motorcar' was.

My 8 year old talked with an English accent for a whole weekend once. He had been watching a lot of Minecraft videos on youtube.

Old guy neighbor passed out in yard again. Not drunk this time, he just doesn't eat or drink much of anything. Got the young neighbor to help me with him, and he was begging us not to call an ambulance because it costs so much. He also won't run his AC because it costs too much. Got him to drink an old peeps shake that I bought for him that he says costs too much. He seems to have perked up a bit. At least he is yelling at the TV. And the nurse is coming who helps him with his catheter.

Sounds dehydrated. Tell him water is cheap and can do the trick. Ambulances with no insurance are a thousand k.

He has Medicare part B but says the deductible for the ambulance isn't worth it.

Catheter nurse has him drinking water and trying to get him to eat. He has an ulcer and they told him a bunch of stuff he shouldn't eat. He has diabetes so they told him to quit drinking his chocolate milk, which he was kind of living off of.

Go to the store and buy new milk.

Pants you've seem to have won her over during your Midwest travels this statement seems to be quite SOish . 55 I mean that in the good concerned way not the snarky way of reading your statement.

yep, DH is like are you staying home today? And I'm like I'm not quite sick enough, have stuff to do, and I'll just be miserable at home. Usually I get this nasty tickly feeling and I don't sleep at all so I eventually take a day off because I'm not doing so hot. This one I got some on and off sleep last night, but not enough. It just came out of nowhere, too. Slight irritation yesterday afternoon...by bedtime my throat and neck were on fire and nasty stuff was coming out of my nasal passages. Usually that's a several day process. Maybe that means I'll be fine by the time I get home tonight?????

Your co-workers thank you for infecting them with your summer cold.

Even with insurance, it is probably $100 deductible. Many elderly people get in trouble when they become dehydrated.

Nickels has had a crush on me since Day 1. I tried telling her and everyone here that, but no one believed me?

The nine-year-old girl came back from the One Direction Concert on Sunday Night doing a perfect imitation of Harry Styles. I am so embarrassed that I know what Harry Styles sounds like.
