So Facebook changed it’s look again

by

So what do you think of the changes to Facebook? I don’t use Facebook all that much, but oddly enough I had started using it more and the last month or two and wouldn’t you know, just as I was getting use to it and getting a feel for it, they went and changed the whole look and feel of the site and well .. I don’t really like it.

Actually the first time I was on when they changed everything they had turned on chat on me and I ended up talking to a lot of people. I normally have chat turned off because I just don’t have a lot of spare time to talk to to people when I’m trying to get work done on the computer or on my sites, but since chat was on by default that day … I ended up talking to people for over an hour before I managed to get out of there!

I talked to some friends and some people that I don’t know all that well about every thing from the recent Facebook site changes to the weather to someone getting car title loans Washington to another friend buying a house and more. I think I’m pretty much caught up! Oh and then the next day Google+ opened up I believe and that was another day of major social interactions on the internet!

So back to my original question – what do you think of the new Facebook? Like it or Hate it?

Skin problems getting worse

by

It seems like every month or so my skin is getting worse. I swear that the medication that I take for my migraines is causing my skin to break out. Ever since I started taking it last summer my skin has been getting worse and worse. I think it’s because the medication stops me from sweating and sweating actually helps wash your skin a little bit …

Anyway … now I’m trying to fix skin problems .. even problems like blackheads on nose and whiteheads etc. I hate them! I keep trying different things but nothing seems to help. I’m starting to think that I’m either going to have to stop taking the medication that’s helped my migraines so much or else see a dermatologist. I’ve got to do something.

Does anyone have any suggestions for skin problems? I feel like I’ve tried just about everything.

Does your doctor weigh you every visit?

by



I have an appointment next week with my family / pain doctor. I see her pretty much every single month.


Considering that I have a chronic disease that causes me a lot of pain and discomfort I guess it sort of makes sense that I see her on a monthly basis, but sometimes it’s the last thing in the world I want to do.

One thing that I used to the every time I went to see this doctor was that she’d always make me jump on the scales each and every visit.

Until recently my weight hadn’t changed – not in about a year and a half … so I just didn’t understand why she was so fixated on weighing me on a monthly basis. It didn’t make sense. I guess it was just something she did each visit as part of her routine?

Now I don’t mind getting weighed each month because in the last two months I’ve lost something like 18 pounds thanks to a migraine medication that I started taking at the end of August. I don’t weight myself at home so the weigh ins at the doctors let me know how much more I’ve lost between visits. If and when the weight loss stops I’m going to tell her to stop weighing me so much though because I really do hate getting weighed every month.

More house guests? Again? Ahhhhh!

by

A simple question – do you love it or do you hate it when the in-laws call at the last minute and say they are coming for a visit? Oh and by visit I mean, they plan to come for the day but end up staying overnight.

Why am I asking? Well … it seems that my in-laws are coming for visits more and more frequently and because they’re older they get tired and don’t always (read almost never) feel up to driving the hour and a half home again come evening so they become weekend guests.

I guess if I had more notice I might not mind so much, but often they call only the day of or the evening before their visit. So if the house isn’t clean or if I’m not feeling all that well I don’t have much time to prepare.

I just found that my in-laws are coming for a visit tomorrow. They’re packing in a full day of shopping, visiting two other relatives and then getting together with my husband and I so unless they’re full of energy tomorrow I can almost guarantee that they’ll end up staying overnight. Oh and when they come for a visit it’s not just my mother in law and father in law, it’s my husbands aunt as well … so both of our spare bedrooms get used and they take over the house, the fridge (with their shopping items) and move our things around … things that we use daily or even hourly! Grrrr

I guess that if they didn’t totally take over my home and basically turn my life upside down I wouldn’t mind so much, but that’s just not the case!

Oh and my brother was just visiting from Vancouver for the last week. He only left yesterday … and even though he’s the best house guest anyone could ask for .. I’m certainly not looking forward to having more house guests again so soon! I’d rather immerse myself in a search for good rates on term life insurance or the best cat litter than have another house guest right now. LOL

So back to my question – do you love it or hate when the in-laws come for a visit – especially a very short notice or no notice visit? I suspect that after reading this you’ll be able to guess what my answer is!
