tinypliny 00:15 I mean mucus is like white cells and infection jumbled together - the immune reaction to an ongoing infection - how does milk increase this?
tinypliny 00:14 I don't see how milk is a mucus-inducing food

Well, for the first time in my life, I have gotten NOTHING for my birthday from my family.
I mean, they sent me on vacation, and that was my bday gift, so I certainly can't complain... but mom has always sent SOMEthing. Some sort of care package with little goofy stuff in it, so that I have "something to open" on my actual birthday.

And this year...
Nothing.

I didn't even get a card.

Growing up sucks.

Sorry, I'm an asshole.

I didn't mean at all to say that I'm not grateful for my trip. It wasn't at all about wanting presents. I was just sad b/c this was the first time in my life my mom didn't send me some sort of little package just "to have something to open".

But, when I talked to them on my birthday- They all felt so guilty and awful and apologized a million times- that I feel like an asshole (again) for even being sad about it.

And, thanks for all the birthday wishes everyone. :)

I am always surprised that birthdays are such a big deal here... Heh I never really had a "birthday realization" till I came here.

Wish you a rocking year ahead, (e:jenks)! Hope your fellowship turns out everything you want it to be and a ton more exciting! :)

(e:ladycroft) did you ever see Sweet Sixteen (now it is an ok movie but back then it was like huge) your story kinda reminds me of that, HA.

Happy Belated Birthday!

Happy birthday! Seriously though you are not satisfied with a trip to europe? I would trade every card I ever got for that right now.

ladycroft writes at 06:01:54 05/06/09 - Comment #48166

p.s. i'm a dip stick. i kept thinking today was cinco de mayo, hence your birthday, but no...in fact today is now the 6th. so, i kind of missed it, but had all intentions of posting a birthday balloon. sigh.

ladycroft writes at 06:00:18 05/06/09 - Comment #48165

my parents forgot my 15th birthday once. i felt like shit for days :( but yah, growing up sometimes sucks.

Or, rather that you'll have a wonderful year, as I meant to say.

museumchick writes at 11:25:20 05/05/09 - Comment #48161

I can relate. I know this is a little late, but I still hope your birthday was wonderful.

mrmike writes at 09:48:15 05/05/09 - Comment #48160

Tell me about it. Perhaps the mail messed up (my Mom is the same way)

metalpeter writes at 08:02:50 05/05/09 - Comment #48158

Ok, I know it's obnoxious to do this, and I apologize, but I can't help it.

As of this AM, I have lost 26.6lb.

And today, for the first time in as long as I can remember, my BMI is 'normal', and not 'overweight'. I still want to lose some more, but... I'm really excited.

All this #$%^& salad and not-drinking is apparently working. wink

Funny thing- this psycho cow

has suddenly re-entered the picture, and is throwing around her standard "she is crazy. Tell her to go on jenny craig or something."

I finally responded to her. I said more or less

'you stupid bitch,
It's been months, and that's the best you can do? Jenny craig?
Which is ironic, since as far as I know you're about twice as big as I am.

Is your sad little life with your new fiance so empty and unfulfilling that you have nothing better to do than attack strangers on the internet?

Get a life."

She of course freaked out, called me fat and crazy, and said she wished I'd sent that to her directly so she could report me to facebook for abuse.

I'm finally realizing that she's just nuts. Simple as that. irrational and nuts.

In other news... I met a cute boy!! (in person!! a friend brought him as his guest to this dinner I went to, and we got to chatting.)
It's kind of exciting.
We've been talking.
Maybe dinner this week.
We'll see. Trying not to be too excited, b/c I'm sure it will blow up in my face and he'll turn out to be nuts, but... for now... the butterflies are fun. big_grin

Oh- and I just finished my last call at BGH, and am NEVER ON OVERNIGHT CALL IN THE HOSPITAL EVER AGAIN. EVER!!

Not to mention I'm done with the hellhole that is BGH.
