Getting old is a pain.

[Aignatius]

Yes, I came here to complain. Dadgummit all, my back is bothering me... grumble...  
Mineral Ice, wherefore art thou?

Don't have to reply, 'cause I want to kill this thread all by myself.  But, if you want to complain about something, then go for it.  

[moronqueen]

I quite agree. That's why I stopped aging at 21.  

[Leonardo]

Yes, it's a great technique, isn't it Mo?
I practice that, too.
     

*sends a tub of mineral ice tiger balm and whatever else Aig needs over to The House of Aig*

(House of Aig kinda sounded like something a noble dragon would call it. The Aig House just doesn't sound good....)

[moronqueen]

Yes, it's a great technique

House of Aig...I like that. *G* *ships the Badger Balm sore muscle rub she swears on plus a hot guy to massage it in* Don't worry, I left food and poked air holes in the box, he should survive!

[klork]

You want us to complain?

Ok.

MORNING SICKNESS SUCKS!

Better?  And can you pass that mineral water?  I'm supposed to be drinking forty some odd glasses a day.

*waterballoons off*

[Aignatius]

Dangit, you ruined my nice tidy thread! I wanted to complain all by myself!

Ah, yes, a nice fellow for the Aig lady, eh? Sure, sure, that will do nicely!
And yes, morning sickness is not fun. I had evening sickness with my son. AND heartburn. Yay. Not.  

House of Aig, hmm, hmm. I like it! Thanks! Kind of like House of Pancakes. Only with.. Aigs.

Aww, here ya go *throws a pity party with gummy bears, whipped cream, and cotton candy ice cream*

.....dang, that actually sounds...*really* good right now...o_O

[Lisardo]

Speaking of aging, I will agree it sucks.  I feel a though I should have accomplished more in life now than I have.  But I consider myself a 'late-bloomer'.  Though one nice thing is that I've been told I don't look my age, so yay!  

[Aignatius]

Ooh, sugar!  ~

Yes, I am a late bloomer, too. I still feel as though I'm not done growing up. (All right, I hear the smirks out there!)

 

[klork]

.....Bah, I don't think I've bloomed yet!

[Aignatius]

Ohh, give it a few months. You will.

Wait-- I thought you said "ballooned".

 

[Absaraka]

Yeah, ask me about sugar and ballooned.  253 pounds of ballooned, 90 of which I've disposed of forever.  No more 38 waists ever again!

[moronqueen]

You've had a kid, huh? Amazing the wonders of science! You gotta give the two expecting mothers some tips on getting their husbands to take on some of the burdens! I shudder to think of the labor...  

[Absaraka]

No progeny, just changed my eating habits.  You DID notice my gender, I assume?  I'm going to turn the other cheek and hold my fire, even though I know quite well what forum this is.

Apparently you didn't read the entire post or know how to take a joke.

I'm basically in the same boat as you, Lisa! No wonder we get along so well!

[klork]

Har har har har har.  I'm only three ....or more...months along! ;P

[Jephael]

Honestly, where the heck do they come up with these oddball medical terms? The only word I can thoroughly understand is "trimester", since it's simple enough to figure out. I'm sure someday I'll understand those other words, but for now I'm just out of the loop entirely.

[Donatello]

*snrk*  The good news?  One doesn't really get plump in the pregnancy till the last three months.  Provided one is still eating foods that aren't all empty calories.    

I was all but 5 pounds overweight after I gave birth.  The breastfeeding helped burn some of that away too, cause body goes from supporting baby to milk production. The rest, however, are the flabbiest muscles evah!  Cause really, I couldn't lift anything over 20 pounds for months, than nothing heavier than the baby after delivery.... I feel like such a weakling now! *makes note to do more excercises lifting 15 pound baby*  


Oh... but the one thing that annoys me now?  How come movie theaters don't have child care centers?  

 

[Aignatius]

LOL! Yes, why don't movie theaters have child care... I made the mistake of taking my daughter when she was about 2, to a movie, because I could't find a sitter, and thought maybe she'd just sleep through it... nope. She decided she didn't like being in a movie theater. We had to leave after 20 minutes.
Speaking of kids, I have to pick up my son from work. Geez. Growing up fast, now.  

[Jephael]

Well it's not the movie theatre's responsibility, but it would benefit you more if there was a daycare center in the area where you could drop off your children. Of course there's always going to be atleast one kid there who starts screaming and crying the second his or her parents start to leave, which causes all the children to start crying for their own parents and then you got yourself a friggin fiasco!

[OnnaRaphael]

I'll sneak in and complain a bit because being an adult sucks!  I don't wanna do it anymore!  

I just got back from the dentist and I'm going to have to have some massive work done on my teeth.  The next visit is just a consultation so we can discuss what all needs to be done, payments and whatnot then I'm guessing it'll take at least three more visits to fix everything.  RAWR!

That combined with the rest of the bills I pay (freakin' electric bill was $250 this month) and I have nooooooo money.  Hurray for ramen and skettios!

[Leonardo_Mystic]

No one ever said life was going to be fair or easy. You can, however, choose the right or wrong path in which to handle it.

[Leonardo]

Onna!!!! aaaaaargh
I cry for you, because I too have had to have some major dental work done. And I am still paying off the bills....

 

Best wishes!!!

[Buslady]

I'm the expert complainer around here.
Lesse..

My knees go crack as I walk...once in awhile my right knee fails to hold my weight for a moment. I have hypertension, i'm sick of taking pills.
My back hurts often. Either knee gets painful occasionally. It's hot outside and it sucks to be driving a school bus with NO AC...and no freaking antenna, it fell off...I can't drive without my Mark & Brian in the AM!!!!!!!!!!!! Um...trying to remember more bitchings...ahhh... it sucks like hell my stupid bus can't even climb a mountain without overheating -they've tried over & over to fix it, new radiator, and re-done the whole piping for the cooling system...still tries to cook itself. I like the stupid bus but jeez...but it's a Blue Bird, I'd rather be in a Crown, bus 19...it runs so much nicer and is easier to manuever...and it don't overheat.
I think AOL sucks cause they dont have AIM for Free for Windows Mobile for my PDA.
This is FUN!'

I hate work cause it made me miss Thursday and I feel left out of all the fun TMNT stuff that happened. I did go Friday which was great, met a few who I've been wanting to meet...but still, I missed out on the freebees (except the raph poster thanks to cyn), i missed out meeting more and Tokka...I'm pathetic I know..I just wanted to be apart of it all. *sigh*

Well a lot of what I have to have done is less "OMG do this now or your teeth will fall out!" and more "Do this or you'll have problems later on down the line" so if I have to space it out over a couple months it'll be cool.  THAT'S good at least.  I'm still putting my (rather expensive) hobby on hold though while I pay off my bills.  Hobbies are fun but teeth are more important.

I like my teeth, I want to keep them as long as humanly possible... or longer.  

[Donatello]

Oh.. don;t get me started with my teeth.  All my molars have cavites that were filled when I was a kid.  Just a few years ago, the dentists were like.. Oh, this be old.  we must drill them out and replace it with this new-fangled white enamel stuff.  I was happy about this option, cuase then you wouldn't see all the metal in my mouth anymore.  But afterwards... argh!  My teeth were aching for a year or so after until my teeth and the enamel stuff firnally set up.

Then.. earlier this year they had to pull out my crown and reset it.  The toothaches I was getting from this before had were a pain, cause they also wanted to wait until after I had the baby before they did work on it.  Also turns out my insurance doesn't pay for the corwn to be reset.  :p

Guh.. after all this.. I do hope they leave my teeth alone until I'm 50!  


In the meanwhile... I HATE PAPERCUTS!  Oh.. how I just loathe paper cuts... espeically the ones between my thumb and index fingers. *whimper**suck*  
 
Makes me wonder why on earth some people actually ENJOY cutting themselves.  

[Jephael]

I feel bad for people with that kind of problem. They become so depressed it gets to a point self mutilization is the only way they'll feel better about themselves. The scary part though is sometimes hurting yourself can be sort of a thrill, which is even more disturbing!

[OnnaRaphael]

One of the things he's going to be doing is taking out an old filling and putting the white enamel stuff in it's place.  GAH I hope mine don't hurt that bad!  

[CriticalCrittles]

I persoanlly think it would be rather amusing to see you this age with all your teeth fallen out Onna. But then again....I'm cruel like that. I'm sure you'll never forget that one time I hated you for an hour. Mwahaha.  >

[OnnaRaphael]

OMG I so hate you for an hour now!  

Actually I have nightmares about my teeth falling out all the time, it's one of my biggest fears.  I've also learned from my dreams that I'm afraid for alligators... I had no idea.  I think they're extremely cool but I'm always nervous when we go down to the lakes and stuff because I don't want to get freakin' EATEN!  But alas that's OT...

I don't know if it's an age thing or not but I get really bad leg cramps (always in the middle of the night) and they're getting progressively worse.  They used to come on fairly strong, fade and then come on one last time before going away.  Now they come back twice.  I literally wake up screaming and my boyfriend just knows to start massaging my calf.  I was both screaming and crying tonight because of it.  That'd be why I'm up now.

[Leonardo]

Try getting more calcium and potassium in you.
That's what I have heard helps with leg cramps at night.
I have not had those very often, but they are not fun.

And I really do wish you the best about teeth!!!
I suppose the current TMNT issue cover with Mikey and the tooth doesn't help? heh

[OnnaRaphael]

I haven't actually seen it, now I'm afraid to.  Teeth are important for me... which sounds sort of dumb.  Besides the nitemares about them falling out I actually have troubles looking at people who are missing large amounts of teeth.  There was a woman who came into Blockbuster that had one tooth in the front on the top row of her mouth and that... UGH.  I conveniently passed her off to another CSR simply because that's just one of my squiks I guess.

Hmm.. that is weird that you would get them.  Kimnardo may be right that you need more vitamins and stuff.  

The time I got these was when I was pregnant.  Something about a little person growing inside of one had an effect ont eh body's circulation and chemical compostion.  After getting them twice after being 4 mos, I learned to not stretch with my toes pointed.  Pointing toes to stretch legs in bed is baaaad.  I remembered to not do that, and I didn't get them again  *nod*nods*

Doc sez when these happen, grab you toe in your hand, push down on heel, and stretch out the back of your leg.  Or you can get out of bed, stick leg out behind you with foot flat on floor, and len forward into a wall.  Stretching out the calf muslces like that helps prevent them too.  Also stretch them like that before you go to bed, and after you wake up.  

BUT... whatever you do, don't point your toes!  That makes it worse...  

[Aignatius]

Ohh, yeah, I get those on occasion. Very painful.

[hazlov2004]

i do too plus the back of my leg starts hurting me at night only for a little bit though
