Morgan's trip

2008-06-13T20:14:33Z

Morgan was nominated and accepted to the People to People International Student Exchange program. It is a little conservative and somewhat right-wing; however, it is a great opportunity for her. So on June 27, she leaves SFO at o-dark thirty in the morning; stops in Atlanta for a couple and then goes to Athens, Greece. She will be going to Crete on an overnight ferry and back to Greece; then go to Sicily via overnight ferry; then on another ferry to Pompeii then to Rome. She is a little nervous about the Vatican, because it's a church... She gets back on July 16th. I am busy buying needed clothing and necessities. Travellers' checks are out per the Delegation leader so I am trying to expedite a Pre-paid visa or mastercard for her. Sigh.. while wiping my brow...

The New Kitten

2008-05-23T15:42:08Z

We have a new kitten. Well, we have had her for a couple of months. Morgan played the Father vs Mother card. I said no, Dad fell in love, we have kitten.

The funny thing about this kitten is that everything is a play toy. Especially cell phones with a tie. You see my daughter's cell phone has a strap so she have hook it to her wrist or knapsack. The cat takes the phone via strap and plays with it. It had been lost for a couple of days. We found it outside in the "kitty porch" which is a stairwell closed in but open to the elements just outside the living room window.

I swear that she is a brownie in disguise....

ATT Yahoo!! Part 2

Contacting ConsumerWatch at KPIX helps. Craig got a call from the third tier of the ATT customer service rep. They will be migrating Craig back to his original IP static line... KPIX rules..

I HATE DOCTORS!!!!

2007-09-24T19:56:29Z

I am trying to get some information about my knee. The MRI saw some "lesions". My doctor thinks it is pockets with water... But he scheduled me for a CT scan on Friday the 21 (the start of Yom Kippur). I was told to call on Monday. Just called... he will not be in until Friday.. GRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!! fooby blech..

In addition, we have been waiting for Craig's new Liptor script. He went for the blood tests and saw the doctor. We call for a refill. Walgreen's have been trying to get the doctor to okay the script. The Doctor is no longer with the group. She was very pregnant. So Craig is an orphan again. The group never told anyone about the problem... On top of it, when calling, I got hung up by the receptionist; I called back and was asked to be put on hold. I went into ROARING MOUSE mode.. for cracken ice....

Therefore, I declare DOCTORS TO BE FOOBY BLECHS!!!! (fooby blech.. is from HACK the game...)

Margarett is still "alive" if you can call alive. Craig doesn't want to take fluids anyway from Margarett. She had a hemmoragatic stroke. This means it was a massive bleed of the brain and because it is deep, it can't be operated on to stop the bleeding. There is a zero chance of recovery.

I found out that the place she has been living at for the past three weeks was an Assisted Living unit. She was walking alot. The bedsore was being treated and the Administrator stated that there was a standing order from Margarett to have a bigger serving than the rest of the occupants.

It seems Victor was the primary and not Craig. This is a stupid move. Victor needs to be in an assisted living community. But when you have no money because you were a victim of fraud (his problem with alcohol), I don't see it happening.

He got out of the hospital today. There is a medical caregiver/social worker. Craig will tell me what is going on when I get back to work.

To be continued.....

Are you a good cook

2006-12-20T21:23:44Z

This is from mdlbear who got it from jilara...

Yes ....

You Are a Creative Cook

Your cooking is unusual, inspired, and definitely one of a kind. People love your unique style, but you've had your share of kitchen flops.
You have the makings of a cult chef. You may not cook at the Four Seasons, but you could have your own little funky cafe in San Francisco!

Are You A Good Cook?

I hate this new LJ format

2006-12-19T23:07:18Z

I just posted something and it didn't show up.... Grrr!!!!

Husbands

2006-11-09T19:09:02Z

You gotta love them and hate them at the same time. November 2nd was Craig and my 26th wedding anniversary. Unfortunately, the same day was when my mother-in-law broke her hip. So Craig was distracted. Plus, dinner was a flop so he was a little pissy.

Well, today I got a delivery via the mailroom of a dozen long-stem red roses. Made all the ladies green-eyed monsters.. giggle. I just called him to thank him.

Hell has frozen over

The White House has just announced that Defense Secretary Rumsfield is resigning. Just two months ago, when the former generals were asking for his resignation, he said he had no inclination to resign. 24 HOURS do make a difference...

I hate hospitals!!

2006-10-10T22:39:42Z

Tomorrow I have to go in at 8:15am for a cardio catherization. When I was taking tests for the gastric bypass, they found a problem. However, CPMC (California Pacific Medical Center)never called my doctor. Luckily she was reading the report. She has beat them up with a stick.

Observations

2006-10-07T02:38:11Z

I am amazed sometimes with human nature. With all the bad stuff in the world, there is a sunny spot. It's like out the flames a flower is born. The Amish Elders have thanked the people who have donated to the victims and the victim's families and have asked them to think about the family of the murderer.

In my reading about the Middle ages and the pre-Reformation religion, some of the philosophers and religious writers have talked about the thought of Grace in mind and thought. I think these Elders are full of this Grace.

My evil twin sister

2006-09-29T20:28:05Z

My evil twin sister personality showed up today. I have really being snarky today and stating every politically incorrect things in a soft voice. Maybe it is because Yom Kippur starts on Sunday night. But wait, I am not Jewish. Rats, I will have to make my atonements another day.

Here in West Yarmouth, MA

2006-09-14T23:31:44Z

Today was my Mom's funeral. On September 11/12th, I took the red-eye to Boston. It was suppose to leave SFO at 12:15 am. It didn't leave until 1:09am. The plane was to go to Dallas and then straight to Boston. NOT!!!! When I got to Dallas/Ft. Worth at 3am PST/6am CST, I had to grab another flight to Boston. I thought I had more time between flights so I bought my usual extra hot, extra shot, Venti Latte at Charbucks. They didn't stop me from going into the plane with it; but the flight attendant saw it and confiscate it! WAAAAAHHHH!!!! Got into to Boston at 11:55 am; one hour later. Well.. I travel on 9/11 (sorta of), went through the Big Dig (parts) so what else could I tempt. My luggage. I didn 't get my luggage until 8:20PM on 9/12. Craplings.

I will be coming in tomorrow about 7:00PM. I will be available after a lot of sleep on Saturday afternoon.

My last five days

2006-09-11T20:12:37Z

I haven't posted in awhile. My dad called me on Friday the 8th that my Mom had a stroke. She is on life-support now. The prognosis is grim. Saturday, Dad called me while I was at the grocery store. I should have waited to call until I got home. However.... Dad said that if she comes off life support and lives through it, she will be okay. The doctors were going to remove the life support on Sunday. On Sunday the 10th, (Dad's Birthday...)they removed the life support; however, Mom wasn't responsing like she would recover. At 2:30am EST/10:30pm PST, Mom passed on. I have never heard Dad with this much emotion in his voice. The last time, Dad had to tell me about a death. He had already grieved before calling. That was when my brother Mark died. It is really scary to hear your Father who has always been strong with tears in his voice. I leave tonight on the red-eye to Boston and Dad will pick me up at the airport around 11:00 am EST. I will be back on Friday night.

Holy Cow

I was just listening to KOIT radio at work. They just told a cute newsbite. A heifer, part of the 4H group, escaped from her pen at the Sonoma County Fair. She ran down the street past the Grandstand, and the Sports Bar. It seems she was hitting to the BBQ place down the road. Giggle!!!!

Parents!!!

2006-07-23T21:51:24Z

My dad called me on Friday. Scary the crap out of me. Mom was taken to the hospital at 4:00am EST. to the Cape Cod Hospital. She had a heart attack with complications of fluid inbalance. The hospital did a good dialysis. She is on life support. The prognosis is good

On Saturday Daddy called in the morning. Mom is waking up. She still needs the life support. However, she is getting aware of the surroundings and aware of Dad being there.

Life goes on. I am crossing my fingers. Right now it is hurricane season, hotel's big season which means no vacancies and high rates, the highway from Logan Airport through Boston to route 95 is closed because thie is the Big Dig... plus my lack of vacation time because of my medical appointments. I DON'T want to go to the East Coast right now.

Oh. Dark thirty

2006-07-19T10:42:39Z

It is too hot to sleep. My apartment is not air conditioned. If you live in San Francisco, it is very rare to need air conditioning. I got up for a glass of water and thought I would do a little light reading.

On my quest for bariatric surgery,, I have done three out of the 20ish medical tests. I am a little concern about the psyche evaluation... too personnel.

Oh well... I am going to try to get more sleep.

Life is Crap

2006-07-14T21:09:06Z

I was just told that I was going to get a full time position. They couldn't "justify" moving me from a permanent part-time to a permanent full-time slot. I knew when the three supervisors ask me to come in an office... I need chocolate...lots of it.

Life is....

2006-07-13T19:33:48Z

My daughter yesterday lost all her Golden Gate Transit tickets, $66.00 worth. Grrrrr!!! Her dad acted like a Knight in shining armor and took her to the Golden Gate Bridge, Sargeant's Office to get new ones.

Today... she left to house at 8:46 AM to catch a 8:50am bus... She gets that from her grandmother Carter... Double Grr.!!! She missed her connection at Marin City to go to San Rafael for her swimming class.

This swimming class is Grandmother Carter's idea... Don't go there...

I love my daughter, yes I do..
boiled and baked and in a stew...

As Colin, you are lively, friendly and inquisitive! Just make sure you don't get in people's way too much.

I have place my application for a promotion to a District Adjudication Officer... It would raise my pay scale up to a good amount of bling. However, I have to wait and see.

Yes, Virgina. There are REAL Were-Rabbits in the UK - in the Tyne area. According to the BBC, the voice of authority, the poor wee mite was killed. The article is http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/tyne/4994580.stm.

I wish that this rain would stop or at least move to the Texas area. This city is already surrounded by the sea... but now.!!!

My daughter wants us to build an ark;but this time, capture the unicorn...
