I am working from home this morning and then getting a tooth extracted around 10:30. It’s the tooth that busted off about a year ago.

I went in for my check up about three or four months ago and my dentist was like “what’s that thing still in your head? Take it out.”

So today’s the day.

I told my boss I didn’t know how much “working from home.” I would be doing this afternoon.

(I always use heavily accentuated air quotes when I say working from home…)

How was it?

 

[Lilianna23]

Lil, OM, and Likes, your avatar is nothing but white??? Censored???

I just noticed that. I haven't gotten any messages...

 

[Lilianna23]

I have no idea they notified us of nothing f****** moderators

So, did they approve your new avi right away?

 

[Lilianna23]

How do u or should i fire a deck guy... he got a deposit... ripped stuff off half built deck. On Thursday said he was on vacation for 5 days and then would finish...haven't heard from him since....

Am I being coocoo

How much of a deposit? Have you tried contacting him?

 

[Lilianna23]

Checking back in to see who has been naughty or nice or both!

Well, evidently, us girls have been naughty. Our avis have been whited out!

 

[Lilianna23]

The tooth extraction was a success. Definitely not my favorite thing.

Not even laughing gas this go around.

Who was all over and done with in 45 minutes, including the bone graft for the implant.

I was supposed to take the afternoon off, but you know me. I did take a little nap from one to two but then was back online.

And filled up the wood bins at the farm stand.

Since I cannot eat anything solid for a few days, we had ice cream for dinner. At one of my favorite spots.

Bonus!

Here’s what I read on another forum, regarding the missing avatars.

So, should we rewrite our profiles?

 

[Lilianna23]

I’m making a sign and/or tshirt for my mom in rehab.
“ I am here for post stroke rehab. Don’t ask me about income taxes or anything else. I currently have aphasia, so even if I knew, which I don’t, I couldn’t tell you because I wouldn’t be able to find the words.
I don’t engage much after morning therapy, because I’m too wiped out. It’s probably nothing personal.
My sweet looking ferocious daughter will be here soon, she’s always been over protective, and gets stranger things than you free with her breakfast cereal. You have been warned. “

Maybe a few “ hell’s grannies” shirts too.

Sounds like a perfect sign!

 

[Lilianna23]

I’m on steroids and albuterol now, should be tossing cabers any time now

I understand. I'm a steroid bitch, too.

 

[Lilianna23]

What happened to our Avatars????

At least it's not just the girls!

Hi Lil!

Goodnight Lil.

Goodnight all!

Mine yes. And miss ks took a bit.

Been a good week so far. Got down to see mum and take her out to lunch. We then followed it with a walk around a local park. It was lovely but she was determined to go down the steepest path so I had to grab her by the collar to stop her going too fast. I hade visions of her going base over apex. Walk back up was harder but I found a meandering path that took the sting out of it… and a bench for a rest on the way. Her strength of spirit amazes me. I guess it’s a generational thing. They find every reason to do something as opposed to a current generation who find every reason not to?

Anyway enough of that I am going fishing!

You're a good son, G!

 

[Oldermom935]

Nobody did but rj said it was posted on other threads

 

[Lilianna23]

Well you want the good news or the bad?

Good news to lead. Momma made it out of her procedure with flying colors. Doc said she did great, and recovery was pretty painless as they had her on a drip. She spent the night and I brought her home yesterday to a bounding two year old G-granddaughter! She’s happy to be home but is starting to feel some discomfort. They have her on one of the Oxy pain meds.

Bad news. The procedure went well but unfortunately the cancer has spread to a muscle. They took a biopsy and we wont have the full picture till that comes in…hopefully before I get off vacation and can talk to doc. Radiation was mentioned and I have been researching some Keto and diet options that people say have slowed cancer. I’ll try and post some links later after coffee to get the pro’s feelings on some of those.

On the bright side. She’s not down about it. Facing it with positive attitude which is half the battle. Had a cousin who was given 1 yr. He said cancer wouldn’t kill him and lived 5. It got him eventually but on his terms. I’m hoping we can just kill it…fuck cancer.

Sticking w the Vino theme…here is a vineyard MZ…not my pic like the last…

I'm so glad the procedure went well, H. Very sorry about the spread. Perhaps they got wide enough margins. It depends on what type of cancer and how virulent it is whether or not diet can affect the spread. You'll know more after the results of the biopsies come in. Bring your research to the provider. She should be referred to an oncology service. They frequently have dietitians in such a practice.

Hey! I just noticed mine is gone!

Edit: Went to a “contact”…they saying the Avatar thing is a glitch and go back in and post your pic. I’m gonna try and see if that works.

Edit2: went over to the Control Panel and my Avatar still exists over there? . I’m going to chalk this up to a glitch and see if they can fix it from their side…

Edit3: decided I couldn’t wait and went and uploaded my Av again…it gave me this with a checkmark in green:

I just checked in Control Panel. My avi is still there.

 

[Lilianna23]

Some are saying it appears the days of two AVs may be over?
Story side AV was still there
Forum side was white
Some users had 2 different images set
Settings now only appear to take you to the AV edit for the story side?

I had same set for both.
AV still there on story/author side
Still gone on forum side
I did reload & got same message
Waiting on moderation
Assuming they may be swamped right now?

I did not know there were two sides. I haven't written any stories but have edited some. I've only been active on the forum side.

 

[Lilianna23]

Probably. It was a real picture

Mine is a real picture as well.

 

[Lilianna23]

Well I sent a professionally worded text to confirm work. He said on vaca this week not last week. Will be back Sunday and be here monday

We will see

Glad you got at least SOME response!

 

[Lilianna23]

I tried to change my avatar...it is in line to be approved... it is NOT sexy

I wonder what the objection was to your old one.

 

[Lilianna23]

Mom’s third attempted of the day to escape rehab has been foiled again.
She not actually unhappy there, it’s weird.

Glad they're looking out for her, Noor!

 

[Lilianna23]

The bewbs were entirely too bewbaliscious.

I've never heard them called that!

got my fingers crossed for ya

Well, I did some snooping around. It seems that any sexy avatars or pictures that are posted, have been banned. If you look at 1I posted yesterday, it said it wasn't available. It was just somebody wearing a short sweater. Nothing revealed but obviously it offended somebody. From what I understand a lot of people are leaving because they don't like it or some of the the threads artist photo posts. It doesn't make sense to me, but what do I know...

I'm so over the whole thing

OMG - so needed this today!!

This is a part of the disease.
When my aunt hit this stage she was wheelchair bound, which made the physical aspect of this behavior easier to manage.
I found this article helpful:

You treated with wd40 duct tape and some boat grease didnt you

Whoo! Somebody's got your number

If I remember correctly, I used rum and vodka... there might've been some Scotch involved too, but for some inexplicable reason, my memory is a bit "fuzzy!"

nobody light a match

I don't eat anything with coffee; the cinnamon ones are too cinnamon-y for me. One went to my trainer; one went to my housekeeper.

Nice of you to re-gift. Food gifts can be tricky.

People are stupid...

you ain't kidding

 

[Lilianna23]

Hi Lil!

Goodnight Lil.

Goodnight all!

Good night, DKA!

I agree with @Wat_Tyler... and yes, they are!
