The NFC B-Day Chat Thread

Sigh. Good morning. I had a dream where i was a waitress in a really crowded place with too few waiters. Did i tell you i hated being a waitress?

The first job I had was as a waitress at age 16. One night I woke up to find I was standing in front of my bedroom wall "serving" food to dream customers :lol:

Waiting tables is a hard job (especially when it's done right), that's why DH & I always tip very well when we get a good one.
 
Good morning...we are supposed to maybe get measurable snow Sunday into Monday. Contest is on:lol:

Good morning Sunflour! My sister just had the stomach flu then she ended up with the Norovirus and got dehydrated which they said gave her kidney stones and she ended up in the hospital for 2 days. She said that Norovirus was miserable.
When my washing machine went down it was almost 2 weeks before someone came to check it out...then another 2 weeks to fix it. He said there are not enough repairmen and a huge area to cover. My next machine I will buy at a local store other then a big name store as they have their own repair guy. It costs more but they deliver for free and take away the old for free.
Your sister should be checked for parathyroid tumor or tumors. Blood calcium has nothing to do with dietary calcium so if blood calcium is too low, the para thyroid gland(nothing to do with thyroid--completely different glands) release a hormone called pth that removes calcium from the bones.

The tumor takes over the production of PTH and causes too much calcium in the blood. This calcium is eliminated by the kidneys causing kidney stones. If the stones were calcium and blood calcium levels are over 10, then there is likely a tumor.

This is another Woman primary condition that is very under treated. It will kill a person slowly over time.
 
Ron you are such a wealth of knowledge.

He's our very own encyclopedia
My DW went through 10-15 years of having a parathyroid tumor. The Dr.s were supposed to be watching it but did not do anything until the kidney stones started.

Like many Woman's primary illnesses, Watching is not the answer. The tumor that was removed was the size of the last digit on the pinky finger. The gland is the size of a grain of rice normally. That was a very old tumor.

It is fairly easy to diagnose and if you get a good surgeon easy to fix. It should never be watched.
 
Gee @ronott1 is there ANYTHING you don't know at least something about?? :)
:lau I am a Generalist but work mostly work in Tech LOL!

My Father wanted us to learn as much as possible so I know a little of a lot of things but often just enough to get into trouble....There is so much more to learn!
 
Morning everyone!

@DigMyChicks we had some snow flurries here yesterday...maybe you & I need to have a contest to see who is the last one to have snow this spring :lol:

@Teila happy Saturday to you, hope you get a break in the weather soon.

@rjohns39 wanted to congratulate you on the Yum contest again, your dish looked super! Remember the Marsala wine we talked a bit about maybe a week ago? I found a great new recipe for using it, I'll share it over on the home baking thread later today.

@KDOGG331 I think Libby is a cute name for the pup!

That's all I can think of at the moment, need more caffeine!

Yeah, now that I think about it more, it is pretty cute. I just don't get why they named her after skis lol could have been a mountain or trail or anything. But oh well. It is pretty cute.

My mom however hates it and made it very clear last night LOL

Good Morning Debby,

Hi Sis, what time is it there??? It's 530 here and you are up, already, I woke up feeling like it was time to get up and it was only 430 :barnie. So, also deep into the first pot of coffee ;).



Our friends of library old book sale was truly dangerous for me a couple of years ago, caught the Norvirus there - the sickest I have ever been - and almost all of the elderly volunteers there got hospitalized for the same --- have not had the guts to attend another since then :(. And left those bargain books sitting in storage for over a year before I had the guts to look at them again :oops:...I do wash and sanitize my hands often, but decided the source was my glasses :th.



So sorry about your washer, had to do the hand wash and hang outside to dry a couple of days last year - why is it taking repair folks so long to come??? :mad: . We have a relatively new Samsung fridge - the ice maker froze up and we could not get the ice bucket to budge to remove it to reset. a couple of weeks ago...a repair fellow was able to come in less than a week and got it defrosted, and swapped all the components out - gave DH a business card and told us to call him directly in the future :)



:love Bunnys are all so cute and cuddly but this one is quite special, and can drive :). Bet it is a safer driver than those folks around here who text/talk on phones, we have had so many folks hit while walking near or across roads lately.... so sad.



Had to google that one :lau.



:yuckyuck...I envy your quick wit - so refreshing, laughter is a necessary commodity.



So glad to hear this, did they give y'all a reason for his illness??



I love the puppy pics - just wondering - is that you holding him in the first link?

I've never used an on line service for photo's.....but did lose some valuable ones in the past with 2 simultaneous computer crashes - just too cheap to pay the storage :cool:...but so nice that you have them to reminisce.

Wow that's scary about the virus! My brother has norovirus. He's had it since Tuesday I think? He just went to the doctor. He thought it was flu. He got it in New Orleans for Mardi Gras. He also lost his phone.

And that stinks about the fridge! We just had ours freeze up too but I don't think it was the ice maker, it was something in the back. We had a guy defrost it too. I guess this is a pretty common problem with these Samsung fridges and there is a lawsuit.

Nope, that is my friend! We took him on a walk like the first day or first few days haha

I am in some of the other links though.

That sounds horrible!!

DMC, sorry to hear about your sister...what an ordeal! Glad she's better.

We like to buy local too whenever we can (I get that it's not always possible). We like to support the hometown folks and you can usually get better service from someone you're bound to run into time and time again.

Very true

Doctors are annoying sometimes, sorry :/
