Anyone got some funny stories, PIPs, links, anything to share?  I need a distraction and work isn't cutting it.

My mom has been in the hospital for a few weeks and just got diagnosed with pneumonia on top of it all.  They put in a breathing tube and put her into an induced coma to keep her comfortable while it is in and until the pneumonia goes away.  I am so worried about her and freaked out about the idea that she will wake up in a few days confused about what happened and how she missed a whole week of time.  Prayers, good thoughts, whatever are also appreciated.  Ugh, this sucks.

Re: blah

  • Oh no, bostonbaker, I'm so sorry.  Sending lots of good thoughts your and your mom's way.  Health stuff is so scary.

    I agree that the board has been uber slow lately.  I'm trying to think of stuff to post but failing big time.

    I'd rather be rock climbing or playing volleyball

  • I'm so sorry to hear that, bostonbaker. I hope she recovers quickly.

    Have you ever checked out Hyperbole and a Half? That site always makes me laugh.

  • Aw, Baker, I'm sorry about your mother. Definitely sending prayers your way!

    I'll do a two things Tuesday post!

  • Thanks ladies.  5000candles, hyperbole and a half is a good idea.  My mom has one of those pain scales in her room and I think of this post every time I see it. 
  • How terrible! I am so sorry to hear this, Boston.
  • Very sorry to hear about your mom. I will be thinking good thoughts.

    Regarding sharing anything. I posted a cute picture and story on a different board but I'll put the link here too. It will at least be something...

  • Sorry to hear about your mom, Bostonbaker!  I hope she gets better soon, and comes out of the coma OK!  Here's one of my favorite pics of my Leo.

  • Aww, the pet pictures are melting my heart.  So sweet.
  • So sorry bostonbaker.  I am keeping her and your family in my T&Ps.

    I have a funny story for you:  last year Doug, my pup, got skunked by Pepe as I like to call him.  Pepe came back this summer and Doug would love to be BFFs with him.

    About a month or so ago, Doug woke up a 5:00 am, so I was going to just let him out for a quick pee and put him in his crate (he was sleeping with me while DH was away).  Because it was 5:00 am and we have not backyard neighbors, I went down with only a t-shirt on, panties, and no glasses.  I am standing there waiting and I hear Doug freaking out and trying to open the gate.  Sure enough Pepe was on the other side of the fence and was trying to get to him for a visit.  So I had to run out into the yard with no pants on screaming to get the dog from being skunked.  Not my proudest moment.

    Last night I let him out again (around 9:00) and sure enough there is Pepe again.  Doug tries to let himself out of the yard, so i had to quick throw on shoes and run out after him.  Last night's outfit: baby blue gym shorts, a grey tank with no bra, my layign down glasses that are crooked, and navy rainboots with little whales on them.

    I have seen the smae neighbor both times and am pretty sure they think I am certifiable.

  • Pup, that is hilarious! I always tell my husband I look like a homeless person when I take the dog out either first thing in the morning or right before bed.  I just throw on whatever's in reach and pay no attention to whether it matches or anything. And I never put on a bra. I usually try to stick to our side street, but sometimes he takes FOREVER, so we end up on the main road. I'm sure I get some looks.
  • Oh man.  In our neighborhood we are all on top of each other, but I figure when I am in my back yard, people shouldn't judge.  I will put on normal clothes to go in the front yard only.

    Good rule. I think I will start following this as well.

    We live in white trashville, so mostly I could not care less what people think (regardless of how ridiculous I myself find some of my ensembles). I've threatened to get a cricket bat to carry on the late night run with the dog; some nights, I'm not entirely convinced zombies aren't already walking among us based on some of the people wandering around.

  • I live in a rowhome, so people are on top of us too.  That is what makes it all the more embarassing.
