Not sure I have seen that button. I see Remember me. Will look next time I log out in.

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2017

TMH - When you log in the first time, do you click on the button that says keep me logged in? If that is checked maybe it won't make you log in again?

Not sure I have seen that button. I see Remember me. Will look next time I log out in.

Correct.

When you check "remember me" a cookie will be placed on your browser which means you will not need to log in again for (in theory) 30 days. If you do not use this option you will take a session cookie which lasts for (currently) 900 seconds. This will explain why you get "logged out" during the construction of a long post.

It is advisable mind, to only take a session cookie if you are on a shared or public computer incase you fail/forget to logout.

Thank you for confirming that. I thought that was the issue because I have had that problem when I log in from my work computer.

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2017

Hey everyone. I had problems logging in plus, I had my own mini virus which deleted my whole history.
Missed you all.
Nora, it's so distressing for you coping with your loving mom, I guess that's why they call it the long goodbye. You manage to keep up on the thread despite your distractions and keep us all hopeful and positive. Thank you.:hug:

Pauly, this is awful about your brother. There are no words except to stay hopeful and don't drink. I'm thinking of you and will send a pm.:hug:

Hi to TMH, Rusty, Glassie. Mr. V., AG, Techie.

Liz, it's good you took that class to see how things have changed, I would be lost now.

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2017

SK - Great to see you!

Just had a quick check in from work. So, I'm off again.

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2017

Hi all - sorry, long post

First - Any news about your brother, Pauly? I so hope he’s safe and has just hitched a ride somewhere. I can only begin to imagine the worry you’re all going through. Please let us know as soon as you hear anything.

Nora – has your Mom settled now? How often do these serious episodes occur? Are they getting more frequent? I hope moving into the new bedroom will be good for her and won’t confuse her more.

Thanks for your concern everyone – my hand is feeling a bit better today. I can wriggle my fingers a bit at least. The other night it was throbbing and having shooting pains all night and I was feeling very sorry for myself, and then this morning I read a post from a quadruple amputee I follow who had been having terrible ghost pains in her missing foot all night. Needless to say I now feel like a complete S**t for whingeing about my minor injury!

Liz I’m glad you enjoyed the class. I’m sure it will put some of your fears at rest and give you lots of things to talk about with your daughter. I’m always conscious I’m the MIL not the mum so it’s a bit different (although she treats me like a mother). But I figure if I keep my arms and ears open and my mouth closed and let the parents tell me what to do I probably won’t go too far wrong. :happy2: It’s nearly winter here, so I’ve had an excuse to go on another shopping spree or three. And it’s so much fun now that I know the little person I’m buying for! I think I may have accidentally bought most of her winter wardrobe.
osteroops:


Rusty are you OK? You mentioned a lot going on. I hope you're just busy. Good luck getting all your chores done this weekend.

TMH – you don’t sound like a hypochondriac at all. It sounds as though you keep yourself very fit and healthy.

SK – I hope you’re doing well after your surgery and dental issues. How is your little granddaughter going?

Techie , Mr V – hope you’re both doing OK.

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2017

Lol, Glassie, that's really sweet and I'm sure I will be buying this little ones wardrobe too. I find myself looking at baby stuff and wanting to buy, but I shall wait. Erin has enough really small stuff. Baby W. Is set for awhile. Girls are such fun to shop for! To be honest I was thrilled that my youngest was a boy. He was so much easier to dress. You are wise to keep your eyes and ears open and mouth closed. I hope to be able to do the same.

Skendall, I was worried about you. How are things by you? How are you feeling?

I know it's hard to be on here posting alone. Happy to see everyone posting today. I get the feeling when I'm too busy to post you guys are all on here talking to each other and when I'm not too busy I'm here alone. Lol no worries I will just keep rambling on.

No real plans for the weekend, looks like Erin won't be going to her in laws house at the beach. Her MIL was exposed to "fifths disease". Erin's doctor said it would be wise to stay away from MIL for a bit. That of course changes my plans and we'll likely be BBQing on Monday. Also there is fleet week we may go on Sunday. Anyway, I will be around!

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2017

Hi Liz-What is Fleet Week? Sailing? I love buying little girl clothes....and toys! :-)

SK-great to see you here. How are you feeling after your last surgery? Have you been spending a lot of time with Miss Vivian? Sorry to hear about your computer virus!:sad: I've had the same thing a couple of times...SO exasperating.

Glassie:heartbeat: Those shooting pains are horrific...I had them in my arms because of the herniated discs in my neck. Would a script for Gabapentin help? Wow, a quadruple amputee?? We are so very lucky, aren't we? Thank you for asking about me. You must have incredible radar. Be prepared: you are going to hear me complain. I am feeling quite melancholic tonight. I woke up exhausted and I have been feeling that way all day. When I am exhausted, I get very down and that's where I am tonight. I am overwhelmed by the work I have to do for my clients (yes, it's paid but it's a holiday weekend) this weekend, and yet I am torn because there are SO many household chores I really want to accomplish and I am just not sure how I should divide my time. I feel like I need at least one solid day off away from my work but I don't know if I can do it. I don't know if I can let myself do it. Other people have no problems saying "no" to their work, but I struggle with it. A second reason I am down is because you all know how hard I studied the three weeks before I took that exam..... which is very important to my career. Well, I know I did well but I need my test scores by next Thursday and I called the testing center today because they were supposed to email my exam results today and they never came. This woman I talked to said she would look into it but of course, I heard nothing back from her!!!! I could not pry myself away from my phone/email all day....as if checking my phone every 30 seconds (that's no exaggeration) would make those test scores get to me any faster!! Sorry if I sound whiny. Lastly...we have had nothing but rain here...and I wanted desperately to get outside and walk today, and that did not happen. The weather forecast for the weekend calls for MORE rain!! I wanted it to be warm so I could take a relaxing swim in the pool. Rant over. I think I will go back to the gym and maybe a kick@ss workout is the answer. Thanks for listening, everybody.

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2017

Oh Rusty, I totally understand. Doesn’t everything just always come at once!!!!
And you don’t sound at all whiny – we all need to vent at times.

Can you possibly outsource some of your domestic chores? (I’m a big fan of outsourcing – and it makes great economic sense)

And finally – Yay- go kick some @gym_ass, but I have to ask - is there a reason you don’t walk or swim in the rain? Is this a US/Oz thing maybe? Because if we let the weather stop us here we’d never do anything.

[NoraC]

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2017

Rusty - :hug: You are absolutely not whiny. You do need a day away from work. You work so hard all the time. You forget to take care of yourself. Even when you're not working, you are always on the go.
I'm sorry that your test results didn't come either. Just more and more stress that you do not need. I hope that you had a good workout. :hug:

[NoraC]

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2017

I will be back because I am not done blabbing. But, got to take care of some things right now. :congratulatory: I'm sure this is what everyone is thinking about now :rotlf:

Re: One Step at a Time - May 2017

Oh Pauly
I'm so sorry about your devastating news.
I'm sending all my love and prayers your way.:hug: :heartbeat: :hug:

Hiya Steppers,

Pauly, my thoughts are with you and your family. I am sorry to hear of your brother.
