The bf made it across the border which was our biggest worry. I'm glad he's ok and that now his friend can drive a bit. He's been driving for over 20 hours. But he just send me a picture of us that he took when I was crying right before he left and it made me start crying all over again. 🙁

I think it's getting better. I heard the storms don't happen all the time, just the summer.

I'm sorry.
 
I know the feeling PP. My boyfriend and I both lost it yesterday when I left. Seeing grown men break down kills me. He starting tearing up when he was saying bye to the dog and then lost it with me. I cried for hours and still cry just thinking about his big supportive hug and encouraging words. Damn I love him.

Yea.. couldn't say it any better. Never expected that when I met him at a show two years ago. Thought he was kinda weird.. 🙄

I went to the dog park to distract myself. When I glanced over to the entrance because people were coming, there was a Mexican coming in. He was built just like my bf, same height, wore his hat the same way.. almost started crying in front of like 20 people.. 🙁
 
Dr. B saw one of my clients and her cat over the weekend and diagnosed diabetes based on blood glucose only (and it was only 20 pts high).

This client is willing to drive 20 minutes because she "doesn't trust Dr. B"

...well obviously its diabetic because glucose levels are *never* elevated because the pet is stressed, say in a veterinary hospital 🙄

is her degree real?? don't they have protocols and such for this stuff? i'm so confused how this person has gotten so far in her career this way 😕

I wonder this often.

FWIW, I called the owner back the next day and talked to her about stress hyperglycemia and she was happy I had called. I tend to have to double check her on my primary provider pets.
 
So, I'm the technician at the clinic I work at. Lately, however, the receptionist has adopted the opinion that my priority at work is to do her job whenever she doesn't feel like doing it herself (not answering the phone, leaving for the lunch when she pleases, etc etc). Yesterday I went into work 2hrs early solely to call an IT guy to help fix our printer (per the doctor's request - we had no appointments that morning). She promptly stopped answering the phone and got mad at me for not answering it for her (even though I was on the other line with the IT guy). Due to an emergency surgery I had to get off the phone before the printer problem was fixed. I'm going in early again tomorrow to call the IT guy yet again, and I am not looking to dealing with the receptionist's attitude again. It's becoming a daily thing. We're just going to have to have a convo about the difference in our two job descriptions. I can't do her job just because she wants to be lazy.
 
Well, my little brother, who I live with, just informed me he is moving out next month when the lease is up. I can't afford the apartment by myself and I don't have the money for a deposit on another right now. I don't know what I'm going to do.
 
Haven't heard from my bf in the last 12 hours. Maybe I'm just paranoid but he told me that it can be dangerous to drive through Mexico like he is doing. I'm a bit worried. He should be home by now or close to it, so I hope I hear from him soon.
 
Apparently he's been there for hours. He just didn't call. I called and we talked for like a minute before he had to go. Didn't even say I love you in front of his family. It didn't bother him before to do that. Maybe he's just tired, but..

I know. It just made me mad that I waited for hours for him to call like he said he would. Instead, he went to bad and it sounded like he wasn't planning on calling me until tonight. He told me about so many bad things that could happen on a trip like that and I was worried.

And I know that his kids don't know about me. He told me that. Ge thinks they're too young to understand that he has a new girlfriend and isn't with their mom anymore.
 
I really dislike people who don't own up to their mistakes. My wedding photographer, who is a family friend, was paid a sum of money to take some basic photos. His family was also invited to the wedding. He said they would all be there (4 total). Day of, he is the only one to show up, so that is over $100 down the tubes paying for people to eat and drink who aren't even there. We fed him lunch, let him take several breaks throughout the day, totaling several hours, and let him have lots of downtime during the reception, and told him he could leave pretty much any time during the reception because I knew he had to get back to his family (he decided to stay until 10 or 11 pm). I even had my Nikon DSLR with me all day and offered it to him to play with because his camera was "acting up". He didn't take advantage of that.

Then it takes him 7 weeks to get the digital photos to me. Finally get them...and there was a ton of crap to wade through. He edited 50 or 60 photos - great! Then he left several hundred blurry/washed out photos on the disc that I waded through to find all the pictures that were usable. It turns out that every time his camera acted up, it wasn't focusing properly, so all the photos of people walking down the aisle were completely unusable, among others. He didn't get one of me and my husband feeding cake to each other, just some of us cutting it and two as we approached each others' faces with the food (I am not huge on tradition, but that was one thing I decided to keep and now there isn't even a photo of it). Then I realized that there were pictures left in RAW format, and since they were taken on a Canon camera, and I only own a Nikon, I had to download a separate program to even open them and save them as .jpg - more hassle. What's better is I talked to him today, and he said that the day was so long that it took a lot out of him (even with the breaks and the fact his parents and friends were there to spend time with on the hours of downtime he had), the sun overheated his camera causing it to act up (mine was totally fine the day before when I was using it outside for several hours in comparable heat and it was totally available to him to use, and I told him that), and he hinted at being underpaid for his time. Ugh. Oh, did I mention he took the time to take artistic photos of the Jimmie Johns lunch boxes and then edit it later to make it black and white?

There are enough usable pictures that it really won't matter, but there were lots of things not captured that should have been and I just can't stop getting aggravated about the situation.
 
I'm sorry, scb! It was an important day and there should have been a reliable person there to take great pictures of it! It makes me mad when there's people like that who seem to be just messing around most of the time and then others who are great at what they do can't seem to find a job with it. 🙁
 
That's pretty lame, scb! You're allowed to be mad over something like that. Wedding photos are important.
My rant is not nearly as worthy. I got my tonsils out this morning and am in quite a bit of pain. I'm allergic to some pain meds so I'm on Tylenol and codeine- which doesn't seem to be making a huge difference in pain control. I'm very hungry but even drinking ice water is extremely uncomfortable! To make matters worse, my boyfriend left for Cancun this morning with his friends and I'm jealous, haha.
😳

I just want to say I'm mad at the photographer with you. I was surprised at how expensive wedding photographers are, but I'm glad I paid nearly $4000 for mine. I'm glad that some of your pictures are usable. Did you have any family or friends take pictures?

Hooooooly moly. That's my entire kitchen renovation right there. Okay, I agree, if you're gonna splurge on something wedding-y, a photog is a good choice, but still. Deng.

I know it's a lot. I couldn't believe it. It took months to get used to the figure. My parents did help. I think that we (myself, my husband, and our parents) spent about $13,000 for the whole wedding. Apparently that's cheap for a wedding. It sucks to be so broke now, but it was a perfect wedding. And we have beautiful pictures to help remember it.
 
Yeah, $13 isn't bad if you are doing the whole shebang. I have one I'm going to this weekend and I think it's probably panning out to be pretty nuts. Engagement, bridal, and wedding photos (with the getting ready, first look, formal, ceremony, and reception photos)... Plus venue, food, open bar, cake, rentals, shuttle, and a party bus. Lol.

I stayed under $6k for the reception and I had a steel drum band. I dunno, it was pretty awesome.

Yeah. The biggest costs were the photos, wedding planner, and reception. Though the photos were a little less than the price of the other two together. It seemed like in my town in order to get a professional photographer you had to pay that much or more. She was there all day, for all the getting ready pictures, and had an assistant to take pictures of the guys. We also had an engagement session and we get photo albums in it. I just never want to have another wedding. I wanted this one to be perfect for us and it was. I miss the money (it would be helpful now). However, that's the way it is.
 
My cousin spent over 6 figures for her wedding. Never did get an exact number 😱

It was beautiful and gorgeous and the multiple open bars were amazingly awesome, but damn, I will never have a wedding that fancy.
 
Ours was small. And we didn't pay for any alcohol. I can't imagine paying that much. That's ridiculous. I always thought it'd be kind of nice, but after having mine, I wouldn't trade it for a huge affair.
 
My hubby and I are looking at home ownership for the first time. Rates are at an all time low, mortgages are much cheaper than rent, and we've only lived in apartments together. Step 1? getting pre-approved for a mortgage. check online and most places require W2 forms. Ok. So I gather our W2s for the last 2-3 years as well as bank statements and student loan statements and go to our bank. They tell me the mortgage guy isn't in, but he'll call in a day or 2. 1 week passes. I call them. They say he will call soon. 2 weeks later, I finally get a call from the mortgage guy but I'm at work. I call him back when it gets slow. He tells me to apply online. Which requires a property address - which we don't have, because we want pre-approval so our realtor will work with us.😡

Dear Bank I Have Used For Years,
I'm writing you this letter to describe to you why my hubby and I will not be using your financial products in the future. You messed around for 2 weeks to tell me to apply online. You may go suck it. I may close all accounts with you.

Sincerely,
I'm not Tech Incompetent, your website sucks
 
My cousin's was 6 figures too. She had an insanely awesome 80s band and a $5K stir fry section that engulfed the whole place in flames. We had to vacate to the 6 open bars while we waited for the fire department :laugh:
She was a trooper about it though.
 
I'm afraid that I'm losing my boyfriend to clinical depression 🙁🙁🙁.
I want him to seek help, but he seems reluctant. I also asked him if he would be willing to take medication if he was diagnosed as such and he said no. I don't know what to do, but I know I can't be the one to help him 🙁.
Any advice?

Does he have anyone else in his support system who might also be able to suggest that his quality of life may improve drastically if he would be willing to see a professional? It doesn't even have to be a psychiatrist at first- a counseloring psychologist could help introduce him to the idea of depression treatments, if appropriate, especially if the idea of meds is repellent to him right now. Ultimately, all you can do if he still refuses is continue to love and try to support him. Take care of yourself too though, ok? It's not easy and you shouldn't have to let it negatively impact your life as well. Good luck!

😱 This is horrid! I'm also mad at him for you. Seriously. I do small photography stuff for people for free as a hobby and don't even take that long to get it back. And giving you all the shots, unedited? And in RAW? Wtf - who does that? He's lucky you were even computer saavy enough to save it as a jpg, a lot of people would have no idea what to do, and would be unable to even open them. RAW is not a finished product. It's barely even a started product. 👎

50-60 edited photos for a wedding is also a small amount... most wedding photography I've seen deliver above 200, and often many, many more. Obviously if you had a really small ceremony there'd be less, but still.

Also the camera overheating... unless he was taking video or shooting in live mode the whole time (which I doubt he was, especially if you said he took many breaks), I seriously... SERIOUSLY doubt it. I've never had my camera overheat, even outside in 90+ heat while photographing summer camps.

Grrrr!

My thoughts exactly. I have also taken pictures outside in heat at camps for hours on end and never had an issue, so unless his camera was seriously malfunctioning, I don't understand how that could even happen.

CFC, I'm so sorry about your situation 🙁 Photographers seem so trivial in comparison. I don't have any advice other than trying to talk to others who are close with him. They can help support you both through this.
 
About to start my final for computer programming:scared::scared:. Wish me luck!
 
Just got back from the beach with the pup - it was a beautiful day, so had to take advantage. Low tide means the beach goes on forever, it is amazing and I let the old man off leash and he sticks close and just runs around and has a ball. Well for some reason today he decided to eat something off the beach that he should not have and before I could get to him and get it out of his goddamn mouth - he had finished. Then almost immediately he was barfing it back up - I could not really see what he had eaten though as most of what came up was his breakfast from this morning and foam. UGH!

After I could tell he was not feeling well and his lungs sounded crackly, but we had to walk about 40 min home. Well he was not feeling that idea. I didn't have money for a cab, so I had to carry him over my shoulders - front legs on one side - back legs on the other, the entire way home. He thought that was neat and decided to take a nap. Mind you this is a 30 lb dog.

Back home he seems exhausted - his lungs still sound crackly, but he is breathing fine. His pulse, respiration, temperature, CRT, and everything else is normal. So I am just letting him rest and seeing what happens. He has had aspiration pneumonia in the past and his lungs have never fully recovered, so I am hoping he did not aspirate again.

Poor old man 🙁
 
Stupid... dumb... stupid computer...

My internet explorer will randomly stop working and then when I try to figure out why it won't connect it claims that my firewall is blocking it from connecting....seriously... the firewall is not keeping internet explorer from connecting to yahoo or making it randomly stop working.... It has been doing this off and on for a few weeks... It works after I restart the computer but it has done it about 10 times tonight... :bang:

Was it doing this before you went to the UK?? My computer acted a bit weird while I was there. I know I had my flatmates bf do some reconfiguring of things to get it to work, cause I think I had issues similar to yours initially. Although, that might not really be the UK's fault and more the fact that it's a Dell and has had problems since I took it out of the box. My OS decide to just die while I was abroad. Luckily the tech people there were able to fix it for 60 pounds, which also covered me for any problems that might happen during the year over there. Also, no data was lost, so all good. Although, I am convinced something with Skype got reconfigured as well because my connection sucks now and it worked perfectly fine before going to England. My other main issues was that my anti virus software just stopped working due to some sort of issue, so I had the IT people put a new program on when they reinstalled my OS.

And ew to IE. Google Chrome all the way.

Try a different browser and see if that helps. I personally prefer Google Chrome cause I think it's one of the faster ones and I believe I read that it doesn't take up as much space on your computer. Totally might be making that up though. Then if the problem persists, maybe ask the tech support on campus? I luckily seem to always have friends who are into computers, so I generally go to them for my problems. I'm savvy enough to get by and figure out some things, but try not mess around too much so that I don't make things worse. And it sucks when your internet is the problem because you can even use Google for assistance...
 
Agree with the suggestion to use Chrome. Or firefox. Seriously, anything but internet explorer, although the newer versions are not quite as horrible as it used to be.
 
i dont know if i cried more during tonight's episode of burn notice or at the end of last season!! :laugh:

i almost broke my thumb at work today! i got it twisted in a doxie's collar and because it was a buckle collar, we couldn't get it off of him and we couldn't slide my thumb out! it took us several minutes to finally maneuver the dog and my hand to where we could get it out but oh man i was worried!! and owwwwww!

lastly, i'm not really sure this could have been avoided and i dont think blame belongs to anyone, but we had a dog fall off our dental table today when it partially woke up during the procedure. talk about horrifying :scared: the dog was 120 lbs and morbidly obese. i was monitoring anesthesia for another tech doing the dental, and the dog had been maintained up until a couple minutes prior to flipping on 2% sevo. i dropped him to 1% when he was becoming increasingly bradycardic (down in the low 70s from 120s originally). i fully expected him to wake up when we flipped him since he was so big and was really going to have to be moved around a bunch to be flipped. my plan was to reconnect his ET tube and flood him with O2/gas immediately, which is what we normally do. since it was going to take 2 people (at least) to flip him and no one else was available, i grabbed the receptionist to hold the anesthesia tube while we flipped. i took back side and got him rolled under quickly and then turned to reconnecting him. unfortunately, he was already chewing the ET tube and had ruined it. we quickly got more propofol on board to get him back under. another tube of the same size was not available to replace with, so someone had to get a larger size and check the cuff (12 so it took a lot of air to inflate/deflate). he was seemingly back out though and we gave a couple more ccs to make sure. [all this time the doctor is on the phone in another corner completely unaware of the situation (she was on the phone with a VERY emotional client who had just been told by another vet that she needed to euthanize her two 16 week old kittens because they were suspected to have FIP).] a tech grabbed the dogs head for intubation, i have the tube and laryngoscope, and just as i go to stick them in the mouth, the dog snaps his head away and rolls of the table. we were able to get him back on the table, reinduce with a lot more propofol and get him intubated, but man was that a horrific thing to see. the procedure was quickly finished and full rads were taken (no abnormalities noted) and we are hoping and praying he makes an easy and full recovery. afterwards he was up and walking around fine so we'll see :xf: i'm just not sure what would have been done differently other than grabbing the doctor off the phone and having someone standing next to him to steady him during intubation (#2). having another ET tube ready would have been helpful as well. one tech said "well you weren't standing at the back of him because you were trying to intubate and normally someone would be there" but i disagree - when i'm maintaining anesthesia (unless it's a completely stable pet) i am moving around a ton, and was already at the cart planning on hooking him up and flooding him. for the most part during any anesthetic procedure, the anesthetist is at the patient's head. the exception here is that we only have the ability to take rectal temps. idk. his heart rate was low, so flooding him before we flipped was not a good idea. maybe just having more support personnel in place. not sure. hopefully it never happens again, but this is life, and life has a way of being annoyingly unpredictable :-/
 
That's scary, jmo. We had a dog at work once who rolled off the table after sx and broke his two front legs. The hospital took care of all the medical costs. Poor dog, though 🙁
 
I have been crying hysterically because I miss my ex so, so much. We split amicably so it has been really rough to sever those feelings. My little brother decided he wants his own place and I can't afford this apt by myself and I'm panicking because I have to find a CHEAP place and the kicker? My credit sucks. My dog had her back sx RIGHT as I was going back to school. Some of my bills fell to the wayside. So low income housing for losers like me don't usually take dogs. :bang: Well and of course the emotional cheese grater that is applying to vet school AGAIN. FML.
