I'm lucky enough right now that I don't to have work. But the Col. does swing shift 7-3 3-11 11-7. He hates the 3-11. He only has one weekend a month off an it's this coming weekend.

We were gonna go to Jersey this weekend but since tht ain't happening we are going to VA instead and do some wedding planning.

I know, it sucks, Mig! But have fun in The Old Dominion!

Where the hell has SC been?

I love working. I am just not the type who can stay at home. I have plenty of friends who do, but I tried it for six months and almost blew my brains out.

Since I can work from home a couple of days per week, I think that I have the perfect blend right now.

Geoff - when is your doctor's appt.??

Yeah SC come out come out wherever you are. We miss ya sweetie.

3-11 shift sounds crappy!

I do earlies 6.30am - 2pm.


Lates 1.30pm - 9pm.

Nights 9pm - 7am.

He rightfully stated his opinion, and I didn't like it... So I pulled a citizen's arrest and banned him like I was quarantining him for SARS.

I already answered the PM, but for the rest of yooz... I went today and the x-rays came back normal, so now I have to see an orthopedist to look into it further...

My cholesterol is still very high (271, but down 4 pts from '06! ) but he wants to do a liver test before putting me on meds. Great. ME, a liver test!

Glad the X-rays came back normal at least. What do they do for a liver test???
(if I'm not getting too personal)


TIS

They carve a piece off and serve it with some fava beans and a nice chianti!

OR, it's just another, more specific, blood test.

TIS, when you're on meds for high cholesterol, like Zocor or Lipitor, it can affect your liver. Mr. Babe's cholesterol has been in the upper 200s since he was in his 20s (which means probably all his life). He's been on meds for years, and has his blood tested every 3 months to check his liver enzymes.

Geoff, I know that diet and exercise are supposed to reduce it, but after months of cardio (we bought a treadmill) and cutting almost all fat from his diet, it still only went down to 240. He ended up on meds, and his latest test, it was 180. Sometimes, it's just genetic, as I'm sure your dad will tell you.

Today is my baby boy's birthday. He's 12.

My oldest is 24 and my youngest is 12

Capo, We'll arrange a meeting in Brooklyn. SC's ground, where you'll be safe.


CAPO (after dancing): " Hey, Cardi! Let me have some beer. Cardi! More beer..."

CARDI :"Scusi, please" (then, in view, to Capo, handing him a pitcher quarter-full of beer)





Seriously Capo, as I've told you many times in the past...when you do decide to make the trip to NYC, I'll be more than happy to meet up with you and buy you a beer.

Ha ha hah!!!!! DC, if Capo asks permission to go to the restroom, get the hell outta there!


TIS

Keep us up to date Geoff.

Just don't go to Louis in the Bronx. Go to a place that don't have an old-fashion' toilet -- you know, the box, and - and -
and - ah the chain-thing.

Tattaglia is a pimp!

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times!

WE CAN'T STOP HERE THIS IS BAT COUNTRY!

Cholesterol meds also deplete your body of the essential enzyme CoQ-10. If your doctor hasn't recommended it as a supplement (and a lot of doctors fail to do so), do some research on it. It's ESSENTIAL for cardiac health. It'll run you about $30 a month in GNC or your local drug store. I wouldn't even think about taking a statin without it.

You sound like such a new yawker....

Well, duh.

Sometimes people or personalities don't translate well over the internet but your posts just ooze new yawker.

That's because I'm so exceptional. And, I take that as a HUGE compliment. If you haven't noticed, I pride myself on being the quintessential native New Yorker. Educated and artsy, yet still loud and ethnic enough to get myself tossed out of a bar once in awhile.

Thanks for reminding me of that! I think I'll spell it out rather than trying to pronounce it as a word, though...

Reminds me of a story with a guy calling 911 with caulk in his mouth.

I officially graduated College today

Congrats!!!

DMC,

That's great. So, that's where you've been. Studying hard at school. Our DMC is growing up. What did you major in? I'm sure you'll excel in any endeavor you undertake. That's wonderful.

Best of luck to you.


TIS

Hey TIS!!

The past 2 months have been nothing but school for me. I majored in Economics with a minor in Political Science.

Now I have to get a job
