Thanks for the ~ma. I think I can see why Mr. H is a little freaked even though his parents said things were fine. I got an e-mail from my father-in-law explaining what happened. His mother got a rash and instead of going to the doctor about it, she decided it was caused by her blood pressure medication so she quit taking it. When she felt chest pains and nausea, she decided it was because she ate a waffle and had a reaction to the wheat.
I'm sure he feels like he needs to see what's going on for himself since the woman isn't being honest with herself or her family. (Which isn't a judgement. A lot of people do that with respect to their health).
Chicago! Woohoo!
Have you alerted the Buffista contingent in the Windy City?
May, New Orleans, IJS
I wish, but the reason the DH wants to go to this meeting so much is because it is with people who might give him a job. A real, full-time job. With a salary. And regular hours.

ETA: Much ~ma, Heather & family.

That I have. The ex is, unexpectedly, making plans for us, so I'm not sure what the deal is yet, but maybe I can find out more soon.
Anyhoodle, I have to go to work now. The AC is broken and it's school vacation time. Huzzah! Bye everyone!

Wow! Good luck to him, I'm sur he'll knock their socks off.
It does sound like he needs to go, Heather. I hope his parents are right and she's basically okay.
I'm back from the dentist. Good news -- nothing unfixable about my gums.
Bad news-- they are in bad shape. I need to floss regularly, brush after meals for two minutes and use the antibiotic mouth wash otherwise I will have serious problems including losing teeth. And I have to get my teeth cleaned 3 times a year insted of 2.
askye, when I was pregnant, I had awful gum problems. Went to the periodontist and am now a daily flosser. I never want to go to a periodontist ever again. I also got a Sonicare toothbrush, which I now swear by.
I'm glad it's all fixable for you.
My husband had to get some perodontal scraping thing done, it sounded very unpleasant. He's pretty darn careful with his teeth now, let me tell you. For some reason, this means we have to pay a higher percentage of his office visit fees because of it - he's getting periodontal maintenance rather than regular maintenance (even though they do the same thing), and that's less covered or something.
Anyway, follow those instructions, askye. Fix 'em while they're fixable.

This is what I had done. Nope. Not pleasant. At. All.
