Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeBack from the pede. Checked 3 things:
1) New rash that is all over the baby’s stomach and back
Diagnosis: Negative on strep. Probably a virus. Should go away in a couple of days. Give plenty of fluids.
2) Lump in left breast
Diagnosis: Unlikely to be cancer (despite proximity to Oak Ridge). Could be an ovary is producing some estrogen (poor thing). Could also disappear. Size noted in charts. If still odd around age 4 then concerns begin. Question posed to doctor: Do we need to quit using milk that was produced from cows fed hormones? Answer: (Politically correct) no research has shown that to be a concern but you can buy special milk at some natural stores.
3) Rash on leg since summer has not gotten better
Diagnosis: Looks like eczema. Not much concern. Non-steriod topical prescribed to be used twice daily. Some samples provided.
From WebMD
Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, afflicts 6% of all Americans — 15 million adults and children — with red and inflamed patches of skin that are uncontrollably itchy. The condition burdens mostly children, and although nearly half of them outgrow the condition, the rest suffer with it their entire lives.
The baby and I returned with food from McDonald’s so everyone was thrilled.
I chopped wood then headed to scouts with the 7 yr old.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeA second former Texas Guard official, who spoke only on condition of anonymity, was told by a participant that commanders and Bush advisers were particularly worried about mentions in the records of arrests of Bush before he joined the National Guard in 1968…
…he overheard conversations in which superiors discussed “cleansing” the file of damaging information.

Yesterday’s article about the upcoming magazine, H Bomb, misrepresented the goals of our organization …
…is a literary arts magazine about sex and sexual issues at Harvard…
…male and female students will appear nude in photography portions of the magazine…
…We hope that people understand the misrepresentation that has occurred and are neither offended nor expecting a porn magazine to come out in May.
May! For those that missed the point of this marketing piece from the founders of the H Bomb, your first issue is May! Signup Now!

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeThe 10 yr old slipped and fell to the floor in the girl’s bathroom. Apparently there was water on the floor. She landed on hit and elbow. The school nurse iced her up and called to inform up. Sarah says “she’s fine” and I explained the definition of “bad fall” to her. I think I need to have her chiropractor uncle chat with her. Going to talk to Mom now to see if she wants her to have a trip (pun intended) to the pede.

News – Attempted Kidnapping February 12, 2004 10:55 am
Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeThe Strunk family of West Knox County requests the community look out for two men who tried to abduct their 16-year-old daughter on Super Bowl Sunday.
…
“If you are brazen enough to pull up into your driveway during broad daylight, what’s next?” he said.
…
She said that two men who roughly fit the same description confronted her just days before the Feb. 1 incident in a parking lot and tried to get her into their car. She was able to flee unhurt from the scene.
Watch your kids closely!

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeCell phone problems again today. This is after having spent 40 minutes on the phone support yesterday. Apparently I can upgrade this antiquated phone, a Sony Ericsson T68 (I’ve probably invested nearly $1000 it the phones and accessories) for $19.95, a Nokia 3539. Time to research. I want color. I want bluetooth!

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeGot the 7 yr old and 10 yr old loaded up in the car. Drove to the 7 yr old’s friends house, whose step Dad (they make a big deal about the distinguishment there) works for the Knox County Police Department, and the mother came out saying with a smile “Jim saw you in the driveway and was betting you didn’t look at the news. Knox county schools are opening an hour late.” I thanked her. Of course our schools are having a delayed opening. The roads are wet. We can’t have these poor people drive in the rain!

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeA New Day!
Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:
This Morning
* We have SNOW on the ground! (And rain in the air)
* GROGGY. Walls closing in!
* Woke at midnight and rekindled the fire (I think)
* Woke at 3am and rekindled the fire but could not convince myself to stay up. I could have had I not let the evil bed monster grab hold of me. I was energized but once back in bed fell into a deep sleep.
* Woke at 5:45 to the alarm then again at 6:08 when I got the kids up and going. I returned to bed until 6:45. This just isn’t healthy.
Today’s Goals: PROGRAM, finances, resume sent
