Hi there, how are you all doing? I have been busy and now I've got a sinus cold. But last weekend bf and I went away to a hotel for the weekend. We had a wonderful weekend together and we really needed the time alone together.
Here in our building things are getting out of hand with neighbors dropping in all the time and over-staying their welcome. I was getting to the point I was ready to start telling people off. I thought I had solved the problem when I took the 'Do not disturb' sign from the hotel home. We used it on our door at home the first night and it was great , no one came around. But the next morning we were sleeping in, the sign was still out and there came a knock at the door. Our downstairs neighbor figured we just forgot the sign out so she knocked anyway; we didn't answer. Then last night another guy in the building knocked and walked right in even though the sign was out, we just forgot to lock the door - looks like I'll have to start screaming at people. I can't handle having visitors ALL the time. Literally this guy thats living with his mother downstairs came up one day at 3 pm and stayed until 12:30 am - we didn't know how to get rid of him. Any suggestions are more than welcome.
Anyway, at least my pain hasn't been through the roof for the most part. I have my moments, but I'm doing 'reasonable'; still going through all my BT meds every day but at least its doing something. I've had this awful sinus cold for a few days but its a bit better now; really hate the sinus headache, its a killer. Hope the rest of you are doing well and feeling ok.
Love and hugs,

Sorry about your unwanted visitors. Im not too friendly with my neighbors so i dont know what thats like. I'm a privat person so i've never really had to deal with it. Wish i had some advice.
As for me, since i had to take that time off work my boss is worried about me not being able to work as much as i was so my hrs are much better than they were. I work more days but only 5 hr shifts. Its much better!
So pain is ok this week. Fatigue is kinda kickng my butt tho.
All and all its better than average for me so i'll take it.
hugs to you guys
I need to get a curtian or shade and put on the front door because now someone at the door can almost see you come out of the rooms beyond. I like my privacy also. and the most I get is people calling me,usually want to borrow money or gas. That almost 4.00 a gal stuff. Really? You all have an income why call me? Most of the time though We are left alone. Most of the neighbors are afraid of George. LOL. and they haven't met Wailter.
RayRay yay you finally got back to working fewer hours! This was the way it was suppose to be all along. Your dr should be at least a little bit happier lol. Enjoy the rest : )
Jan get those curtains and a sign that says "this is not a bank use your own money"! That should keep them away.
This crazy weather has me flaring up. I want spring here, but I know it's going to bring even more flare up that won't end. The good side to that is I have a dr now that will increase my meds if I ask her too. I've been declining it, but spring might be the time for it.
I keep putting it off because I know i'm going to need them the rest of my life, but i'm not getting any younger am I?
Susie has a couple of family members having some serious health issues right now. Please keep her and her family in your thoughts and prayers. Send her a hug or something. I know you don't get on here every day, but the next time you are on here go for it!
Love and hugs my family/friends

I'm sorry you've had that awful virus. Hopefully you are on the mend for good. I'm lucky I have a great spell check on my computer! It not only tells me when a word is wrong it gives me options to choose from to correct it, because I can't spell worth a shit anymore. Ha! Pneumonia! Thank you spell check lol!
Good to have you back with us, it's just not the same without you : )
Glad to be back here. Now that I am officially chronic pain diagnosed, I am back!!
Learning Hebrew? That would be tough.
So glad you are back with us. The room is very slow now, just down to about 5 or so, but we are diehards!
Maybe you can post a little of what you are learning to help you remember and I love to learn because that is the original language of the old testament.
Lisa Just be frank with those who can't take a hint. If your neighbors can't see you need some privacy Just walk them to the door and tell them it's time to go.
There is nothing rude about you or any one to tell folks what you want or the word NO with no other explanation.
Just remember; One who can't take NO for an answer or who over stays your welcome are the ones being rude!
I think all you Gals are better looking than dudes! :-)
Hope you have a pleasant day.
You don't have to brag about being in the sun and warm temps, man. Oh I need it so...........much. LOL
