You Are Likely A Forth Born

At your darkest moments, you feel angry.
At work and school, you do best when your analyzing.
When you love someone, you tend to be very giving.

In friendship, you don't take the initiative in reaching out.
Your ideal jobs are: factory jobs, comedy, and dentistry.
You will leave your mark on the world with your own personal philosophy.

The Birth Order Predictor

Wow, I don't particularly care for those ideal jobs they listed, and I'm actually the first born child. Hmmm...some of the characteristics are right on, though.

You know you live in the sticks when...

doihavtasay — Fri, 31 Mar 2006 00:17:20 GMT

...neither cable nor dsl internet is available in your area. :(

I guess we could get satellite internet and pay out the nose. I totally see that happening...not! :nono:

The nice lady at at&t/swbell said the date given for when dsl would be available is Dec. 2007. :yikes: So, I guess it's at least one more year of pathetic dial-up. Maybe Cox will run some cable out here. One can hope I guess.

This work thing was supposed to TEMPORARY...

doihavtasay — Wed, 22 Feb 2006 14:12:56 GMT

...and here it is almost the end of February and they need me worse than ever.

Still working for my Mom at the oil and gas co. she works for. I'm now keying, and have been for almost a month. G has finally learned to key, and does a great job at it, but there are still invoices turning up dated mid-Dec. Mom confronted her about it yesterday, and poor G, she just doesn't know where they're coming from. She is the only one with invoices and DT's, so we know they are coming from her office. Keying invoices was one of G's 3mo goals when she started in Sept, and I've only been there since the last week of Dec. G started in Sept. She managed a county tax office for 20yrs, how can she not pick up what she's supposed to do now, in an AP dept?

I really like G, too, very much. She's older than me, prob 50ish. She dealt with IF and had a preemie daughter who is now 18 or 19, I think. She's very nice, and really an interesting person. I doubt she'll be around much longer.

Anyone wanna work for a great company, pd health ins for emp, only $50/mo for dependants. That is almost unheard of around here. We pay $80/wk for us on DH's plan, and he's a blue collar worker.

Guess I better get going. I should've already left but AF is knocking and I've been sick as a dog since 5am. :sick:

My birthdate

doihavtasay — Sat, 18 Feb 2006 15:46:44 GMT

In most ways, this is dead on. I'm not so sure about the inner peace, though. I don't think I've attained that, yet, not completely. Especially lately.

***Your Birthdate: April 11***

Spiritual and thoughtful, you tend to take a step back from the world.
You're very sensitive to what's going on around you, yet you remain calm.
Although you are brilliant, it may take you a while to find your niche.
Your creativity is supreme, but it sometimes makes it hard for you to get things done.

Your strength: Your inner peace

Your weakness: You get stuck in the clouds

Your power color: Emerald

Your power symbol: Leaf

Your power month: November

I had almost a bottle of riesling in me, and dh had several Guinness in him, so pardon the flush. Other than that, not too bad a picture, I don't suppose. This one may not stay up for long, so gawk while ya can. ;) :)

A little more on the subaortic membrane

doihavtasay — Sat, 28 Jan 2006 22:30:51 GMT

Copy and pasted from post on SN bb. Most of it anyway.

He has developed a subaortic membrane and will have surgery within the next 2 years to correct it. When they do that, they will also repair the leakage in his mitral valve. It's always been there, and hasn't worsened enough to be concerned about, but since they'll have his chest cracked open and his heart stopped they'll just go ahead and tidy it up. :thumbsup Gee, thanks!

Needless to say, I felt, and still feel like I've been sucker punched. Literally lost all the air in my body when she matter of factly told us what was going on. Charles said they told us this could happen, I guess maybe it's some kind of scar tissue from the AV Canal repair when he was 6mo old.

There are no restrictions on his activities, no meds, or anything like that. We'll be going every 6mo for checkups for now.

I'm terrified. Scared breathless, honestly. I came home and tried to find more info on the web, but I guess I'm not a good googler, b/c I didn't come up with much. It appears, according to what I read that subaortic membrane and subaortic stenosis are the same, but I'm not positive. So, if any of you brilliant webcrawlers could possibly find some info, I'd love to have some links. I was trying to find something in pediatric cases post AV Canal repair, (aka atrioventricular septal defect, with a cleft mitral valve) and if possible, in children with Down Syndrome.

Please pray for us. All the thoughts running through my head aren't pleasant. I'm remembering him as a 12lb 6mo old right after his surgery. He had a blessed, unremarkable repair and recovery, and we have been so thankful, but this time he'll be so much older, and I don't know, but somehow, I almost think this will be worse, b/c he'll know so much more.
