OT/Bye Bye Birdie

[Birdie]

I can't comment on the show this week.  I still have the whole weeks episodes to watch.  Don't know when I am going to have time.  Did you ever feel like your life is spinning out of control.
Any way, turn the tube on and found the movie Bye-Bye-Birdie and I thought of LAFB.  The mother of Albert just cracks me up.
Let's see I have about 20 minutes till I leave to pick up the number one son home or spring break.

Birdie--whol all the way to Amherst will now be singing "One last kiss"

Did you ever feel like your life is spinning out of control.

Yes - perpetually.

Any way, turn the tube on and found the movie Bye-Bye-Birdie and I thought of LAFB.

This Bye-Bye Birdie influx has become a nightmare.  Seems just about every high school in the country is doing Bye-Bye-Birdie this year.  My best friend who lives in Urbana, ILL - her daughter is playing Kim in it.  Other high schools in her area are also putting on the show.  Her father called recently from S. Carolina to say their local high school was ALSO doing it.
For a couple of weeks after that play ran, my boys were constantly singing songs from the show.  They even programmed one of their Gamecube games to play a melody from it.

What's the appeal of all this??  (What's the matter with kids today!)  LOL
It's like a nightmare.  They should have included some of the Birdie music in that DS dream curse awhile back.  Now THAT would have been scary!!

The mother of Albert just cracks me up.

Yes!  She was the only one I liked!!  She's great.

Safe trip.  (And keep the radio on)

OMG! Yes! After today's visit with retinal doc, I am ready to commit hari kari. He thinks I need MORE surgery. I need Petofi's hand to make me better.

Let's see I have about 20 minutes till I leave to pick up the number one son home or spring break.  Birdie--

God love ya, Birdie. I was glad mine went back to college but now she's talking about a weekend trip to NYC with friends. I'm ready for Wyndcliff and several of Julia's sedatives. Or, as they used to say in nursing school, comatose cocktails.

Thanks.

The mother of Albert just cracks me up.

Yes!  She was the only one I liked!!  She's great.

Of course, this is other than her favorite teenager.

Do you mean to say that there is some OTHER way for life to feel?  Or that there are people out there who's lives are NOT out of control?  Who are they?  Where do they live?  I'd like to see this phenomenon for myself!!

Any time I look at the calendar and notice a date with nothing in it, I panic...it surely means I forgot to write in the 3 or 4 things I KNOW should be there.

And PLEASE don't tell me it actually gets WORSE when they go off to college....I'm already loosing my mind trying to keep track of her in high school.

oh my gosh carol, i'm so sorry to hear this.  i'm hoping that your problems will be resolved soon.

OMG, this is too much.  Last night after we talked, I was feeling very hopeful that THIS surgery would be it.  Give it a little time, and go see another specialist for an opinion maybe?  Yes??

  

Jeez Louise.  FORGET about the trip to NYC.  She'll have her cell phone.

[Birdie]

Carol, I feel so bad that you have yet another ordeal to go through.
I have run my tail off all week between work and the gang here.  My daughter was home from Salem St. this week and she managed to tie up my free days from work.  The fourteen year old daughter is playing basketball for three teams.  Actually, it was two than she was picked for the all star team.  I don't know where she got any athletic ablitity it was not from me.  I swear this season will never end.  Now she is traveling on the weekend.  Everytime they win I am happy for a few minutes than I realise that means more games.  Now she is starting the middle school play.  She wants to do it all.  At least the twelve year old is done with his team.  Today picked up the oldest for his spring break.  Salem St. goes back on Sunday.  He is playing on leaving for Canada on Monday for a few days of partying.  I need Julia and some good meds.  My hubby brought home some wine for me tonight.  At this point I think it would just give me a headace.  Still don't know how we are going to get everyone where they need to be tomorrow.  I guess we draw straws to see who drives to Salem on Sunday.

Birdie--my new motto is Reality is for those who can not handle drugs.

I second Connie's advice.....do NOT hesitate to seek out another opinion.  Many years ago my Mother-in-law had eye surgery done by a surgeon with the most prestigeous practice in Manhattan.  Everyone assured her that she couldn't be in better hands anywhere in the world.  Guess what....he screwed up.  It happens.  But he never admitted it.  It took a long time and ANOTHER surgeon to fix what went wrong.  So please, don't let loyalty or politeness prevent you from doing what's in YOUR best interest!!

makes me long for the Good Old days of
Bye Bye Birdie!seems like my head hurts all the time now!
the cure for me is to watch a movie like "Speed" HBO has it on this month and it really was a pretty good  movie makes one forget about reality thinking "they couldn't really do that!

Who's had a headache in the front all day and neither Tylenol or Ibuprofen help -- even taken together. 

[Josette]

Carol, I hope it all works out.  It's so soon after this last surgery that maybe it will improve and another won't be necessary.  I think everyone else's suggestion of a second opinion is a good idea.  Good luck!

Carol, I feel so bad for you having to go through all of this again!  My God you just had the surgery, doesn't the doctor think that it just may take time to heal some before suggesting more surgery??!

Please get another opinion on this one before you decide to do anything else.  I hope that soon all of this will be far behind you and that you'll be feeling better soon.

OMG You sound just like me! I get these awful migranes and nothing under the sun seems to help.  I've taken Excedrin for migranes, Advil, extra stregth Tylenol, you name it.  Now the doctor has given me a presciption med called "Immetrex"(has anyone tried this)  but after reading all the side effects, Im not sure I even want to try it.  You can't win.

Well my dear, it's a wide-spread problem.


<<------ As you can see, Quentin STILL has a headache.

Hey, remember this scene in 1995, and Quentin complains that his head feels like it's going to explode into a thousand pieces?  ("...even my teeth hurt")
And Barnabas goes, "Maybe Julia should give you a stronger sedative."   ROFL   Oy vey.
