Everything Is good...I am working my way back!

[backtrax]

Hello, hope everything is good with you.

[backtrax]

Hi!...good to hear from you.
We generally do not have deer in daylight here, they were moving about because many near us were cutting up dead-falls from high winds of early summer.
Been out with camera today,...

[Phirefli]

It's good! So far so good healthwise. What pretty deer! We set up a few bird and hummingbird feeders last month and really enjoy them on weekend mornings. Relaxing :). Getting ready to be deer season here, so I will begin to see them as the land behind us is protected....last winter there were 9 on our lawn for awhile..and a lot of deer poop lol

[backtrax]

Hi Phli, stopped by to see if anythings up...Hows the new job?

We had some deer at our birdbath, drinking....brush pick-up is next week, and alot of niehbors running chainsaws must have scared them out of cover....they hung around about 15-20 minutes.
Our Shih Tzu who barks at everything watched 'em from the patio door, never let out a peep.

[backtrax]

Bored today, I went and started a special intrest board. Something that intrested me in my youth. "Lunar mining".

[Phirefli]

Thanks :)

[backtrax]

Glad to hear from you! Congratulations on the new job, hope you like it there.....I'm still off myself, 'n today I had "Good news, bad news" kinda thing....it seems one of my "Sleeper" stocks went up OVER 1700%...bad news was it was very small volume, and only THREE SHARES EXECUTED! (Damn!)
3 X $2.95=$8.85, minus fee of $4.50= a whopping $4.35
LOL...Good luck on your new Job.

[Phirefli]

It's not.....you would not believe the junk that has been going on lol.

On a good note however, I was released to go back to work on June 1st. My employer could not put me back to work however, so I had to file for unemployment. I started applying for jobs and got an offer on the first application I put in. I will be doing Corporate Accounting now for a large telecommunications/entertainment company. I start July 23rd and I am excited!

Hopefully I will be able to play penny stocks again soon, I was fortunate that I had before and had a little cushion to get me through the better part of last year!

:)

[backtrax]

Hows the blog coming?...U been too quiet latly, hope everythings OK.

[backtrax]

Weather is outstanding latly, hope it holds thru the whole weekend....
Have a Safe 'n Happy 4th of July....(Don't stand too close to the fireworks!) GLTY.

[backtrax]

I seem to have escaped damage on my buildings,...few minor branches down, and some flowers, broccoli and sunflowers got pushed over...no big deal. (I'm REAL glad I secured my tomato plants day before yesterday, they came thru unscathed.)

The other people near the strike-point only recieved minor injuries, only one person was transported to the hospital. Could have been much worse, relieved that it wasn't.

[Phirefli]

Oh wow! I am glad that everyone is ok. Tornado's scare me worse then ANYTHING!!

[backtrax]

There was a Tornado touchdown in our area, about 3/4 to 1/2 mile from my house, with 6 houses confirmed flattened, 6 more unconfirmed. (Eagle, Wi.)...power was out all night.
Now that its daylight, gotta check the property for damage....reported windspeeds of 110 MPH.(!!!)
We're fine, but my poor dog is going to have to catch up on his beauty sleep today.

[Phirefli]

LOL, well he kinda got upset at me for a moment......then just sucked it up :). He is a pretty good guy. I got a speech about being careful, and he got a speech about parking his car in the driveway instead of the street hehe.

[backtrax]

Haven't heard how upset your Hubby was,...Need help for BAIL?
Things happen, my personal worst was turning too sharp backing from the narrow garage-door, avoiding a toy my kids left out...(Back when cars had bumpers wider than the body)....took off about 6" of the door frame, and a 24"X24" window cracked the glass.

[Phirefli]

So, I backed into my husbands patrol car this morning....*ouch*. I told him not to park it in the street lol. I hope when he comes home he is not annoyed anymore!

[Phirefli]

Slowwwly but surely!! :)

[TecNasty]

Back out of the wood work I see!

[Phirefli]

Yes it is! I had a wonderful day! I have started my "small" chemo treatments and I am feeling real good today! We adopted a boxer as my mothers day gift. I love her soooo much she is so cute!

[moocow111]

It's Mother's day

[backtrax]

whats up phli?...taking it easy myself today, gotta help the wife celebrate her birthday. Hope your doing OK yourself!

[Phirefli]

LOL there is no way you would want me to make a pick. Before I found EpicStocks I did not do very well at all! hehe

[Fastmandoo]

Shop needs a few hot picks!!

[backtrax]

Fingersmash bad!....photos cool...and 'bout the 'roids, if they helped the repairs take place 'n reduced the inflammation, the benifits could last awhile. GLTY.

[Phirefli]

Not much! Smashed my finger in the back door the other day...Owie...LOL fingernail is all black. I am working on putting together a blog, When I finish it I will put the link here. Will have some of my photos and Digital art on it. That is my new hobby LOL.

Finished up my last Prednisone yesterday, still feeling pretty good! Give me a week however LOL.

:0)~

[backtrax]

Hey Phly! Whats happing!...Just checkin' in.

[moocow111]

Happy Tuesday in 3 minutes

[Phirefli]

And Happy Tuesday soon!

[moocow111]

Happy Trading Now :)

[Phirefli]

Happy Easter Everyone :)

[Phirefli]

Oh I will...this RA will be a lifelong battle. I am so thankful they caught it early before damage began occurring so I can minimize the damage in the future. I am just taking Steroid pills, but they just mask the problem not solve it....even so If they would give me 20 MG it would be lovely, but not good as I got older as over time the damage from prednisone can be horrendous. Thanks for pep talk..I can always use it! :)

Oh...and let me warn you guys, prednisone makes it hard to sleep!!!

[backtrax]

The treatment I had w/steroids worked super for knees. The inflammation was minor, little swelling, and was back on my feet almost immediatly. From time to time stiffness would reoccur during cold or stormy weather...nothing severe tho'.
It was the 3rd surgury. (But a new doctor.)

On the application of 'roids, along with a mix of local anestetic, injected into the neck vertabrae, the relief was immediate, but only lasted a week....second attempt same results.
.....BUT, my wallet was $2600.00 lighter for each procedure.
I hope your case will be one of lasting relief....Stay positive!
GLTY.

[Phirefli]

They are...to bad in a few days I will be off of them LOL.

[backtrax]

Tech freak also, cook alot....Bake?...not so much, or even very good at yeast-rising endeavors. Wife keeps talking about her grandma's stollen, that no one knows the recipe.
Glad your feeling better! The steroids are really something, aren't they? GLTY.

[Phirefli]

I am doing better! I don't garden, I would kill everything! I am mostly a technology nerd lol. But I do like to bake!

[backtrax]

I'm in wisconsin, freak weather pattern is pushing some 70 degree weather our way too!....You garden at all?...must be about planting time that far south. Even if I get tomatoes out early here, it seems as soon as they really produce our fall is here already:< (But fresh home-grown 'maters are worth it!)
And you sound better too:>

[Phirefli]

What a beautiful day here in Charlotte! We should be in the 80's this week. I loveeeeee warm weather!!

[Phirefli]

Hey guy's, it has been awhile since I have been around much but just wanted you to know what is going on :). I have been having some serious health problems for about 6 months now and this week they finally figured out that it was Rheumatoid Arthritis. They started me on steroids this week and I am feeling MUCH better, but I cannot be on them long. In a few months they will begin infusion treatments which have a limited amount of chemo in them but should make me feel better none the less. (I am vain and will buy a wig if I must lol) Next month I will be able to go back to work part-time and I am sooooo looking forward to that.

During this time I have had to take most of my money out of the market to make ends meet while I was not able to work. I just have a little in one stock that I refuse to loose money on cause I know it will go up lol! I miss keeping up with all of you but when things get straightened out I will be back in full force :).

With that being said. If anyone knows of someone that has a hot tub for a steal, or someone that is just tired of theirs and is going to just give it away PLEASE keep me in mind. I would find a way to get it here to NC! It is a great treatment for stiffness and pain of RA, especially at night to help one sleep instead of taking more meds then I am already on! (about 12 pills a day ug). I went to Recreational Warehouse yesterday to look at them and the $2,000 price tag is way outta my league at the moment, and checked with my insurance, It will only cover 150.00 of it, blah.

So that is what is up with me and why I became so quite all of a sudden, but I really am doing ok and don't worry I will not disappear forever :)~

[Phirefli]

I wonder if Red Bull would help me get all this housework done! :)

[moocow111]

FF720 on Red Bull :)

[Phirefli]

So it has been just one of those blah days, I did something I hardly ever do, I ordered a pizza for lunch. I'm gonna call it a comfort food. I have a warm towel around my neck, my feet up, and just waiting on the doorbell!

[Phirefli]

Yes, a little better. They think I have Rheumatoid Arthritis....Ug..oh well could be worse! Thanks for asking!

[backtrax]

Doing better now Phli?....Hope the doc was able to help.

[Phirefli]

I see you trying to get my attention FF :)~~. I am around, just have been inundated with Dr. Appointments the last few days. UG!

[Phirefli]

Hey thanks! Sorry have not been around the last few days. I had an appointment with a Rheumatologist yesterday. Waiting to hear back blood results and stuff. I am feeling better however :).

[backtrax]

'Morning Phli....Hope you feel better.
