Tuesday chat

Oh wow  . . . that's horrible, Jackie.  So sorry for the loss of your friend.

I'm craving a good, strong cappuccino right now.  But, I want to drink it in Rome by a beautiful fountain while people watching.  Sadly, I'll have to be satisfied with my extra large blueberry coffee from Dunkin Donuts, while working on paperwork in the office. 

Jackie I am so sorry about the loss of your friend...hugs.

Got a busy day ahead, have a good day all!

Jackie - I'm so sorry for the tragic loss of your friend. I saw your post on FB and wasn't sure who he was, so I didn't say anything. I watched a show (Dateline or 20/20) about neighbors gone bad and there was some situations that sounded like what your friend was dealing with. It's such a shame when things escalate to the point where someone gets hurt or killed :(

The only thing worse than coming in to a boatload of work is having a conference call the minute you get here. I could hardly concentrate on the call and there was probably a lot I should've been paying attention to. On top of all the normal work that comes with the beginning of the school year, we have 4 new sites opening in the next few weeks.

 Jackie I am so very, very sorry.  We recently had a murder/suicide here that was a domestic violence situation - the ex-husband was supposed to be on restraining orders and the poor woman had moved around several times to safety. Unfortunately he found out where she worked and killed her as she was arriving to work. It was all so preventable. I am not sure what law enforcement can do but they have to do something that is better than what they are doing

It is another beautiful day here - I met a friend for a quick coffee and bagel this morning which was very enjoyable. I feel so sad for her as her daughter has serious mental health issues (she's adopted from China) my friend tries so hard and they have worked with various therapists but the girl is still very difficult. I wish something would improve

Took Bugsy swimming - he is improving but still limps if he spends too much time wandering or decides to chase something. I had a giggle when I was watching him swim today - I thought of this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioE_O7Lm0I4

OK I am knee deep in a developing a presentation

Jackie, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend.  What a horrible tragedy.  His poor family.  What is it with people who have disputes with someone, whether it be a neighbor, coworker, boss, random driver, or even a family member . . . and they think the solution to the problem is to shoot the person?  It seems the knee-jerk reaction for some people in disputes is to grab a deadly weapon.

Karen, I hope your friend's situation with her child improves over time, but it can be a lifelong struggle.  We have an old friend whose daughter was diagnosed with a major mental illness over 20 years ago, and it takes a toll on the whole family.  She's always greatful when her daughter is feeling reasonably well, but there are ups and downs.  I imagine with an adopted child it would be much harder because you lack all the family history (medical and emotional) to provide some insight into her issues. 

Julie, get some Vitamin C, some Airborne, and drink lots of water.  I don't know if they truly work, but it can make you feel a bit better if you try to fight back on those approaching germs!

We've been having some great fall weather --- cold at night (50's), mostly sunny days, reaching low 70's by afternoon.  My favorite weather!  I washed and ironed my capris for the last time this weekend, and I wore my new boots two nights in a row because my tootsies would be too cold in sandals!

I was just reading my latest issue of Health magazine yesterday and the "experts" are still sayng that Vit C does nothing to prevent or lessen the duration or severity of a cold but there's evidence that zinc does. I swear that I've used Zicam right at the onset and it's really helped.

I was hoping to wear some fall clothes to the fundraiser this Saturday. I really wanted to wear my new riding boots but the forecast is for the mid 90s Sat & Sun, so maybe I'll wear sandals instead. I'll be on my feet for about 6 hrs straight, so I'd better pick out something comfy.

Good idea. Leave those stilettos for another time.
