have not been able to send to Mary Lynn milee 45 it always comes back Mon, Oct 1, 2001 Re: Ever wanted to Drown ??? i have made several bad boo boos in my time probably the worst was when our hospital i worked at for 18 years first got computer at the nursing station we were mental heath attached only physically to the University of Missouri medical center about every three months we would get 6 to 7 fourth year medical student taking their psych block they always had a resident witth them to sign their orders etc that was one of the first things we did as we came on a shift was check all the charts to see if all the orders they wrote had been co signed ad taken off and sent to the pharmacy in the Med center so the patients would have the right medications for the next 24 hours one day was working evenings one of the boys an aide came up to me and said do you know anything about the new computer i said not a thing he said well lets see if we can turn it on so we tried but no luck the next morning the head nurse called me into her office and said Donna did you mess with the computer i said yes so and so and i tried to turn it on she said well you lost the records for all the students i was less than popular for awhile but it passed i'm a little scared of them ever since my daughter in indiana had friends that had been in the army with my son in law they lived in Vienna that time he worked with computers for a company in the states they left germany shortly after Mary and Jim did also settling in Indiana once they took me to their place for supper my daughter was working somewhere but supposed to come later he took me into the room with the computers said here i'll show you how to play a game i said aren't you afraid i'll break it he laughed and said what are you going to do take a baseball bat to it well i played the game only he turned it off and on and off for me Tue, Oct 2, 2001 Re: A.S.A.P. and another thing to remember in these times is the bible verse where Jesus said love your enemies do good to them who hate you pray for those who despitefully use you and persecute you a little hard to follow now but still his words Tue, Oct 2, 2001 Re: Kewl Music i hear music on the television i have even sent for one cassette i have radio with a place to play cassettes i got country western story songs like el Passo the ballad of the Green Berets Big Iron etc. then the other night they were advertising sixtys rock music it was 9.95 and i remember thinking who on earth is going to spend $10 on something like that but i suppose a lot do people do me i'll stick to Lawrence Welk i like the older country and big band oh well it takes all kinds wayne i couldn't hear your song the link wouldn't load Tue, Oct 2, 2001 Re: Roll Call-- Missouri hi i am still here still in the home still in the wheelchair the only difference is my greart grandson 7 months old the 23rd of Sept and for some strange reason named by my grandaughter Jacob if i had ever had a boy of course he would have been Joseph after my father but get use to Jacob it's not so bad i still need to get pictures of his baptism Tue, Oct 2, 2001 Re: the one Muslim i knew personaly not all Musims are bad i knew a young student here in the University he said he had been a prisoner due for execution the next day but he prayed to Allah the same god and that evenng was released with a bunch of other prisioners he graduated with his doctorate in agriculture and was going home somewhere in the middle east to share his knowledge with his people of course his experience had strengthened his fate but he was against the radicals their god Allah is the same as our god the father but sadly though they believe Jesus was a great prophet they do not beieve he was god which they say he will deny when he returns they believe in one god but not the trinity and jesus said he must return to heaven so the comforter could come but sadly i have been in a chat room christian seniors where just one person who talks against the accuracy of the bible said he learned this in college from many professors one chater replied when she knew a professor who could walk on water raise the dead be crucified and raised on the third day then she might believe the professors his Nic is jesus the myth another told him to go on to the pagan chat room where they believe his master Satan is a myth which many of them do saying he is an invention of the judeo christain relegion and believe in him no more than we believe in Thor Woden or any of the other gods of mount olympus Fri, Oct 5, 2001 social securuity number i have run into places on the web wanting information some want your social security number and i refuse to post it over the net i wiill tell them my location and age when they say household status kind of hard to say in the choices they give you that you have a room in a nursing home that takes your pension and social security to stay here they do give you $30 a month you can spend any way you want to plus once a YEAR they give you what they call a circuit breaker a percent of what you have paid the home i usually get some this year i got $600 and usually use it to get christmas presents with this year i got myself a cassette with the great story songs ie sink the bismark north to alaska El Paso and one i didn't know but i really like Cross the brazos at Waco the blizzard by jim reeves am strongly thinking of getting the one by perry como and couple of books i've been wanting and three new dresses when cloths to you came i have about $30 left will have to be careful saw a really pretty bracelet on QVC WOULD LIKE TO GET FOR MY DAUGHTER but that is all for me i don't want to get something because i just want it but don't need it really woud like that bracelet for my daughter do i get it or the perry Como cassette after all here they feed me and i have my bed so i really don't need anything except some winter gloves when the time comes i used to have a walkman with marches i had made it up to double time but no more wound up in a heap on the floor because i was trying to transfer to the wheel chair aide didn't have it locked and when i tried to turn it went scooting and i went down and they are always so concerned when you fall well the floor is kind of hard one time when this first happened i was in the hospital i was standing by a bed by the nurse i forgot my leg didn't work tried to step out and fell on top of her since then i've tried to remember what works and what doesn't i have figured one thing the paralized leg is dead weight i think that causes a lot of the problem though i have a one handed walker and if the therapist is with me i can swing that leg at the hip i think i started out to say i will not post my social security number Fri, Oct 5, 2001 Re: REMEMBER BRANDON the brandon i asked you to pray for is now going on two a great big healthy boy and probably doesn't remember his first perilous months our prayers were answered mightelly Fri, Oct 5, 2001 Re: Welcome Patti ~ Hey Patti i had two girls but only raised one then my daughter only had one girl now she has a boy is it selfish to wish for a great grandaughter because i sure do so much easer to find them pretty clothes though he could be like my daughter was when she was little and not like frills besides it's easier to find a chritmas present for a girl unless shes like me and cares nothng about dolls and wants a bo instead well in that case i would just have to find out what she wanted Fri, Oct 5, 2001 Re a girl for christmas have a great grandson but would really like to have a great grandaughter so much easier to buy pretty cloths unless she is like my daughter and doesn't like frills or like me and wants books instead of dolls if so will just have to find out what she likes anyway she probably won't read them until she is at least in the first grade Fri, Oct 5, 2001 Re: HELP PLEASE learn all you can does he have the type of diabetes that can be controled with diet and a pill or will he need insulin if so you will need to learn to monitor his insulin one or both of you will have to learn to draw it up and give it know what kind of needle you have and what kind of insulin you are using there is u20 u40 and u100 one time i caught my sister in law using u100 insulin with a u40 syringe not good one patient insisted on grabbing all the desserts she could and had already lost one leg another farm woman had been walking around the farm barefoot the bottom of her feet were a mess diabetes depresses the senses she didn't realise her feet were cut also be very careful cuting toenails or fingenails they wouldn't let us do it even as l.p.n. a wound on a diabetic is very hard to heal in fact almost impossible it can also lead to blindness but taken care of properly, it can be managed and does not really change your lifestyle eating there are many diaBETIC FOODS ON THE MARKET if you really want to cook for yourself learn the different sugars and their effects glucose is the culprit but then there is fructose dextrose and lactose it is not hard to learn and you have an incentive but enough i don't want to scare you alcohol i'm not sure but i think it is bad if he eats sweets be sure it is in moderation and i said learn to moniter from Donna SNEED L.P.N. retired and handicapped and i am sure there are R.N.S IN HE GROUP but taking classes at the local hospital is not a bad idea and stay in touch with your dr. Oct 5, 2001 Re: HELP PLEASE good link but remember carbohydrates and glucose the sugar are the same to the body they are stored as glycogin and used by the body for energy when needed and if the diabetes is severe ie the pancreas not producing insulin you might have do with a little less energy but remember exercise is important too Sat, Oct 6, 2001 Re: READING POSTS PROBLEM Mercury went retrograde and we will have trouble with communication till it goes direct again and i'm afraid that will be sometime near the end of the month i will ask my other group and check for sure lately the web cuts out and keeps booting me off your starsearcher Donna |
