Hello all- Happy Thursday.

Taking day off as daughter had an appt.

Insha'Allah our day will come very soon.

Hi everybody!

Well, this hideous affliction that made me want to rip my lungs out is almost gone (sorry if that's TMI). I'm totally digging being back here. Totally. I'm not as up into the food as I thought I would be which is a good thing. I lost a bunch of weight in Egypt and don't want it back. I forgot how much I enjoy driving and I do that as much as I can. And my boss in Egypt is begging me to come back. My husband isn't even as much of a crybaby as the boss guy is.

Have a blessed day, everyone.

i went to the doctor today for a check up and some wierd guy came in and was i guess asking for an appointment. he was hard to understand a little bit. all i could make out was someone sent him there for his thyroid. the receptionist said well ill have to get some information from you first. he got really loud and said, i will not give you my life history infront of a room full of people...oh no....u dont understand, then he walked out and called the receptionist a ######. we all just looked at each other in disbelief that this man was acting so assinine to her. i kept thinking oh god, what if he comes back with a gun and starts shooting. it was scarey for sure.

i wanted to scream back at the guy and tell him, u just made a total butt of yourself and u werent worried about that...so why worry about giving ur life history infront of us. we already know u have behavioral problems so im sure there isnt much more to tell.

I don't agree with his delivery but I do agree with his issue. My doctor used to be across the street from me and whenever I was a "walk-in" they would ask me at the front desk what the problem was. There is no barrier between the front desk and the waiting room so I may as well have just turned around and announced to the people sitting there what was wrong. Of course when you have a sore throat, etc that's not too embarassing but I'd rather not have my next door neighbor hear that I have <insert embarassing medical problem here>.

When I was at the ER on Monday there was a guy who couldn't stop shaking next to me with a puke bag in his hands. At first I thought it was the flu so I tried not to breath in his general direction (like that would help lol) but then two counselors came to him and asked him how long he'd been sober, why did he start drinking again, etc. I'm sorry but that is so inappropriate. I realize space is and issue but there has to be a better way of handling these things, you know?

Sorry this is one of my pet peeves. :P
