Guest guest Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Pam and , Good news! I found my HA lying on the floor near the coffee table. Fortunately Tigger left it alone and decided not to use it at a chew toy. LOL! (You better believe I gave her plenty of praise for *that*!) I have absolutely no idea how it got there. I may have accidentally knocked it off the coffee table while dusting, but I can't say for sure. At any rate, I'm so glad I found it! After this incident, you can bet that whenever I remove my HA, it will go directly into the Dry and Store. LOL! , I'm glad your friend found her car keys! That must have been quite a scare -- especially when she needed them to drive. I'm glad everything worked out and she was finally able to remember where she put them!

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Thanks. Last night we did another parent/child class. Different place, different kids, different theme, different name tags. But, Kiki held her hand over her name tag for a big part of the time! She did let go when she was distracted doing fun things and was able to enjoy herself, but her hand was still there for part of it. <sigh> So do I do anything about this? I dont know if I should talk to her about it or not. I guess the next time we go to a class I could talk to her about it before, but then I wonder if it would make her more aware and then do it.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 I tried that, she got mad and put her hand back. Hopefully it will be awhile til she has a name tag again and she forgets.

My all-time favorite at craft shows is, " Oh I just love candles!!! " Hello, can you not tell the difference between a bar of soap and a candle? And I'm not talking about the decorative soaps either. I used to get that at least once at every single craft show. I even had my daughter's kindergarten teacher send a note thanking me for the wonderful candle I sent. You guessed it, it was soap I had sent her. Oh well! I've gotten used to that one & have learned to laugh it off.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 At every craft show someone does ask if the fish in my fish in the bag is alive (or was it?)

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Colleen, I thought those were call " melt tarts " or something like that? No?

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 hi Kim -- it must be so very hard not hearing from your son, and not knowing. I have MS too, and recall hearing that LOTS of folks unfortunately find that they have considerable trouble in the love-making department. There is some good info on the MS websites, and it might be worth checking them out too as well as whatever help your doc can be. I didn't read them because I am not in a relationship ratm. And regarding keeping the bowel system moving, I am very fortunate that prescribed simple magnesium citrate is enough to keep my 'system' moving. and it also balances out the calcium citrate I need for osteo. Eating bulk is SUCH fun, but at least it supposedly helps prevent adding one more problem of colon problems!! and, yup, getting older DOES add to the list of symptoms! sometimes I wonder if a medical concern is 'just' from aging or perhaps connected to the MS. (or both...) and how best to deal with it and yes too, that unfortunately drugs do sometimes interact unfortunately. That's where it's good to have a friendly pharmacist to help out! Sometime they can really help out the docs.. best, Jean From: kim Sent: Saturday, April 26, 2008 8:44 PM Subject: vent today is our son's birthday we haven't seen him in over 10yrs wonder how he is doing? i do miss him but cannot admit to it cause then it would be too hard on me. my husband went to the dr last week to see about getting some meds to help him with making him feel more 'potent' and able to preform i feel embarrased that he has to do it, but he wants to he said i was worth it but don't feel like i should put him through anything he said i wasn't he wanted to. getting old is misserable when a person has other health problems and one health problem leads to another and meds make others worse then hurts emotional and other physical problems worse. and no place to turn it is bad when the embarrassment comes out. everyone has problems but no one wants to talk about things! like my MS causes stomach to act up so i gain weight which makes me angry which then i eat more fiber it spose to help my bowels but it only puts more weight on me as my action is so slow. and i take meds to help it and my poor husband has to listen to me complain about bloating, and other health problems.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I hear you loud and clear across the ocean! Maybe it's the age....... has been driving me nuts as well. Doing things that are so unlike her.. I've just been attributing it to puberty, but I've also consider that things might be getting tougher at school, and this is part of the reason as well. Or both. As with , she gets many many choices........ clothes to wear, breakfast and lunch that she wants, which homework to do first, etc. she has friends with DS and without, and participates in basketball, Girl Scouts, church, soccer, etc. She picks fights about stupid things (like there are 8 pair of socks in her drawer this morning, but NONE of them are OK to wear... and at least 4 pair were identical to the ones she wears every day) or which bathroom she washes her hands in before dinner (she has to have whichever one someone is already in, then yell at them for being in her way.) She cant follow simple instructions without adding her own spin to them....like right now, I said " , go get your basketball uniform on and then go back and work on your homework " which is something she's completely capable of doing indendently. She get her uniform on, then takes a Junie B book (now I know you will think I'm nuts, but this morning I grounded her from all pleasure reading books for today due to the 15 minute sock incident this morning... reading is her passion), unlocks the car with the remote on my keys (quite clever, but still wrong!), leaves the house without saying anything and goes out to the car to read. When I went out there (Sammy tattled on her, LOL) she says " I'm waiting to go get . " I couldn't appreciate the age-appropriate manipulation at that moment, but I'm chucking a little now (now that she's back working on her spelling words that is!)

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I have it figured out!!! It's the age!!! So far, these guys are all 11...haha. They are hitting puberty and asserting themselves in ways we are not used to... is doing the same thing...batton down the hatches guys, I think it may get worse before it gets better The bright side of things, to me, is that he is really showing an improvement in his comprehension and what HE wants. So although it is inconvenient to us and very stressful at times, we can really see a difference in his cognitive abilities Kym...mom to 5 including (ALSO 11 years old w/ DS) Re: Vent >I hear you loud and clear across the ocean!
