I really like Google Reader

I just realized that it shows me when you guys update. Isn’t that peachy! I see I have 9 in there so I better get hopping. It’s sort of like our home page on spaces huh.

I’m feeling really bad for Bill. His leg and back are really bothering him and his MRI appoitment isn’t for 2 weeks yet. They haven’t set up therapy yet either like they said they were going too. I think that might help him once he gets into it. Maybe he should try a chiro.

I laughed so hard at Brody yesterday when I had him. I was in the living room and he was in the dining room playing with his toys when he came in and gave me a funny look. He then pulls down his trousers and starts to take off his diaper. I grabbed him up right away and it’s a darn good thing I did or I would have had quite the mess on the floor. Might be time to start potty training him don’t you think? He is only two and usually too young to potty train but it’s obvious he doesn’t like messy pants.

We have Dish Network and I was looking on their website and saw that they have a promotion price for a bit cheaper then what we are paying now. I decided to call them to see if we could get it at that price. The salesmen told me that it was just for new customers so I asked him why would a new customer get a better rate the one whose been with them for 6 years lol. Then he offered me movie channel packages like HBO and Show Time free for 3 months but I told him I don’t want them, I’ve had them before and don’t care for them and I’d prefer the cheaper rate. He then said that that’s all he could do for me so I politely asked to speak to a supervisor. I explained to him why I was calling and of course they put you on  hold so they can check your account. I must admit that I was on hold longer then I liked but I was determined and I’m sure they do that hoping you’ll get annoyed and hang up. WELL, they don’t know me very well do they lol. In the end I got the deal and am now a happy girl. Patience does pay off doesn’t it sometimes Smile

Wishing you all a great Wednesday. Go out and make it a good one Red lips

    That would make you move quickly to prevent potty time in the floor or carpet. He'll be easily trained I figure. Glad you got the good deal and yes you have to be persistent. Hoping that Bill's pain will leave.

    I'm really glad to see you're using and liking Google Reader. I use it for all kinds of things and wouldn't know what to do without it.

    Sorry that Bill has to wait so long for the MRI. That's just wrong!

    I'll remember that with Dish Network. We have Direct and could always accept a discount or something from them. That's another thing I'd have a hard time living without.

    I've never used Google Reader but I will certainly look into it.
    I have Time Warner cable (basic TV) for my TV and computer and I really like it. Especially since my wife works from home and her company pays for the computer part of it. lol. Plus, they perform any repairs for free and are constantly upgrading the cables and such. Again for free.

    I hope your hubby gets to feeling better very soon. I'm all too familiar with legs and backs... and feet!

    Well, keep an eye on Brody. Two year-olds are faster than they look!
    Take care now,
    Bob

Another rainy and disappointing day. Is it too much to ask to have 2 or 3 or so days of sunshine and decent temps in a row? I really am not complaining though as that would take a lot of nerve when you think about what has been going on in other states. So many storms and tornados this year and we’ve already broken the record for the month of April. Needless to say Spring has be a huge bust for the whole country from the sounds of it. It has to get better…doesn’t it? I hope you all had a wonderful Easter! Ours was delightful! All of the kids and grandkids were home and nothing is better then that. Brody was a happy little boy. The Easter Bunny brought him a Trike! He jumped right on it and put his feet on the peddles right away but hasn’t figured out you have to push to get it going. If the weather ever turns decent we’ll get him outside and show him how to do it. When and if that happens I’ll be sure to post pictures. I bought myself a gift for Easter. Well, not just for myself I gues...

I would hurt myself if I tried that. He’s such a funny kid and ya gotta love him.  He’s finally getting the potty training down pat. Well, for the most part that is. he still won’t go #2 on the potty  We’ve caught him a couple of times but mostly he’ll hold it and tell us to put a diaper on him.  I don’t know what it will take to get him to do that.  We’ll keep plugging along, he’ll get it someday. Terry and I met Cindy and Ursula for lunch at the Red Robin Tuesday.  It’s always a good day and lots of fun and I really enjoy doing that. I wish more of us could meet somewhere for lunch and talk face to face. Wouldn’t that be nice?  When (not if) I win the lottery I will come to each of your homes and take you to lunch. How’s that for a plan " I had to take my sons gf to Madison yesterday to get the results of her angiogram. They wanted to see just where her aneurysm is so they know the best way to remove it.  We where hoping that they could go...

William is scheduled to have the catheter ablation on the 9th, 2 days after his 19th birthday. They are going to do another sonogram on his legs first to make sure there is no scar tissue on the veins that they need to use, if there is they have to find another way to do it. I’m going to go with them of course. I just couldn’t stay home and wonder all day what’s going on. If all goes well (and it will) he’ll go in in the morning and go home late afternoon. He seems to be fine with it and says he’s not nervous but the day of he might be. I know I would be and he doesn’t remember anything from his other surgeries. Last week he had an echo-cardiogram and other tests done to see how his heart is doing from his past surgeries etc. and they said that all looks really good. I’m sure grateful for that. Even though I know he’ll be fine I’m still nervous and anxious and will be happy when it’s all over and he’s back home. Brody has been keeping me busy. He sure is a curious tyke. He likes to ge...
