Coffee Break # 49 Happy Christmahanukwanzika!

Big pink fuzzy slippers would help too.

Had WAY too much wine a few days ago and was not feeling too well. As the room was spinning, I wondered if drunks in the southern hemisphere have everything spin in the opposite direction as here in the north. Hmmm. Inquiring minds...

I hate that feeling and usually 2 is my limit. I've just had one now and feel tipsy.

Yes, it's nasty. I have not had any wine since, which is unusual for me. I have it almost every day this time of year. I don't usually drink beer too much in the cold.

(I was WAY past two!)

I still haven't figured out how they don't get dizzy being upside down all the time.

you guys crack me up... you can be sure the roomba would be a yorkie toy... they try to eat the full size vacuum when I pull the hose attachment out.. they can't stand that thing

Back to defending yourself, Play your favorite music as loud as you can stand it.

Phillip Glass at high volume will confuse them.

Hey, all the people from New York on this forum and you didn't share this good news with the rest of us??
PS 22 from Staten Island has been invited by Anne Hawthaway to sing at the Oscars!
Now this is a story I like reading! Watch the video, the kids just go nuts and who can blame them?

sorry I saw that on the news the other day... and didn't share... I am a slacker what can I tell you

:)

WOW Pixie.
That IS a story.
Music teachers have such passion for their craft and get fabulous results from their students. They dont have enough jo security or pay.

I forgive you Allison ^_^
Made me smile, love how the little boy had to be taken off stage and out the door for some air!!! LOL

Great story, Celeste. Thanks for the link. The joy of those kids is fantastic to see.

I agree Pirl, love how some were crying, some just screamed, others stood with their mouth's open. It just made my day!

Thank you, Pixie.....that helped!

Great video Celeste. Love watching their reactions. While there, I stumbled onto Greyson Chance.....Wow! another very talented kid.

Yes, I heard this yesterday morning. You don't say no to Staten Island, you know what I mean?? ^_^

Well I said I'd give updates on Karen but really there has been no change. After the second surgery they removed the breathing tube, but that night they had to put it back in. She is still on the breathing tube and now has a feeding tube in place also. They said it would be a long slow road. It looks like her left side is significantly paralyzed but they won't know the full extent until she starts therapy. God willing, she'll wake up soon.

So sorry.

Thanks Ge, I feel so helpless when it comes to her family.

Keep yourself upright and steady so you can be usefull.
Powerlessness comes with situations like this.

Thanks so much, everyone, for the prayers and good thoughts for my brother. He had his surgery on Friday and went home yesterday. All the tendons were severed and had to sewn back together. He's in a lot of pain, and as anyone whose had surgery knows, the pain meds just don't really cut it. Please send continued prayers for a smooth recovery for him and that he will somehow find the money he will need to get his bills paid while he's out of work. He can't go back to work for at least 2 weeks. Sounds quick, if you ask me, but that's what the doc said.

I've been sick since Friday night with the stomach virus that's been going around. Finally feeling somewhat better today. Was sick all day yesterday, just wanted to sleep. Was aching all over.

Ronnie, that's good news about all the outpouring of help that family received for Christmas. Nice to hear some good stuff.

Victor, that's so sad about your MIL, but I can't agree that it's really so easy to quit. Everyone is different in that department. I know plenty who have quit successfully, but I know others who have not been able to do so.I have a friend from work who nearly died from an allergic reaction to that quit smoking drug called Chantix. She was in the hospital for over a month. She went back to smoking again, even though the nicotine was out of her system for some time. Too sad.

Sorry to hear the news on Karen, Celeste. Will continue to send good thoughts and prayers her way.

Karen

Karen continued good thoughts for your brother♥

I don't think I ever said it was easy, Karen. Just said anyone can do it. We do plenty of things in life that are not easy. And people kick much harder addictions than nicotine - many narcotics, for example. It does not take a superhuman person to do it. Just the will. Same for any other problem over which we have control.

Glad your brother is improving.

Hope your brother has a swift recovery, Karen. Two weeks does seem very quick for returning to work.

- Yeah, I'd think more like 2 months!

Thanks, guys.

Hey, anyone whose interested in eco-tourism, check this out. This is a place I'd love to go to someday.
