In June we bought a Scala Rider Teamset Pro Bluetooth intercom and only had the opportunity to use it once before the bike was down with the need to replace the rear tire.
We purchased the Scala Rider Teamset Pro which is a wireless bluetooth rider to passenger intercom set. This unit is for communication between the rider and passenger only and will not communicate with other motorcycles. It will pair with itself along with a separate cell phone for rider and passenger. You can conference the rider or passenger into your conversation using the intercom but I would hope that most of us don't talk on the phone and ride. You can also pair a bluetooth GPS unit, and MP3 player. There are also wired connections for Mp3 players. I was told a warning about the wireless MP3 that is in your phone in that the intercom will see it as an incoming call and override any intercom conversation. I haven't had the opportunity to use a GPS unit with it yet but hope to soon. My cellphone paired with it with no problem and while in the house and yard I was able to make and receive phone calls but riding around I couldn't get it to make a call for some reason. I'm not concerned enough to find out why I can't make phone calls as it's not that important to me. UPDATE: I figured out that I was pushing the wrong button on the headset!
This unit is voice activated as most intercoms are but it is also dependent on ambient noise to operate. If you try it out in a quiet room it won't work. Ride the bike or go outside where there's traffic and it will work. The intercom also changes volume based upon noise. In other words, the faster you go the louder your intercom will be and then readjust as you slow down. There are also volume buttons to fine tune it to your liking. The intercom mounts attach to each helmet and the intercom is removable from the mount. The speakers mount in your helmet with provided velcro or in your helmet's speaker pockets if it has them.
We rode for about 4 hours today and intentionally left the units on while we stopped for lunch and had no problem with power and the units are rated for twice that long anyway. All in all I was very satisfied with them. Conversation between Donna and I was clear and understandable. Mic placement however was more critical with the Scala Rider than it was with the wired headsets used with the BMW intercom. When the unit doesn't detect speaking for about a minute it automatically goes back into standby mode. When the driver initiates a conversation, you know the VOX is activated by a tone in the speakers, but the passenger does not hear the tone. When the VOX goes into standby the driver will get a higher pitched series of beeps to let you know of standby mode and again the passenger does not hear it. If the passenger initiates the conversation the passenger and not the driver hears the beeps and tones. You can manually put initiate VOX or go to standby by pressing a button on the unit mounted on each helmet. It was nice not having connected from you to the motorcycle. We also liked the feature that at a gas stop Donna could walk around and we could converse while still wearing helmets as long as she stayed with bluetooth range. With the Scala Rider Teamset Pro you don't hear your own voice in the helmet speakers like we did with the BMW intercom. Because of that, you may tend to speak a bit louder than needed. Donna kept telling me to just speak in a normal voice and it sounded much better. We use the unit on 3/4 helmets with flip up face shields.
No cords
Good, clear communications
Self adjusting volume
Easy setup and installation
Clear communication at speed
Mic placement is critical
Wind noise can activate intercom (this can be troublesome on a loud motorcycle or one without a windshield or fairing)
You must bring your charger with you when you travel
I would definitely recommend this product to a friend looking for an intercom.

Well, yesterday was SU! Regional and what a great time we had. Shelli Gardner (CEO and co-founder of SU) was there and I got to meet her for the first time. She is so nice and so sincere. We had a group picture taken with her.
The best thing about attending a Regional is meeting so many wonderful fellow stampers and swapping cards! There were 6 projects to make, a new stamp set, some wonderful brads and of course some awesome WOW demonstrations. I have so many ideas in my head right now and I can't wait to start creating.
SU! is offering a great promotion if you sign up to be a demonstrator within the next month. Not only will you receive a great scrapping tote but also a free stamp set. Interested? Contact me today and we can discuss!
I will post a picture of my swap card later today. For now, enjoy this great picture of the "Artful Inkers" group!

DALLAS, Nov. 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- NexPoint Credit Strategies Fund (NYSE: NHF) ("NHF" or the "Fund") today announced its regular monthly dividend on its common stock of $.20 per share. The dividend will be payable on November 30, 2016 to shareholders of record at the close of business November 23, 2016.
The Fund has elected to lower the monthly dividend from $.24 to $.20 per share due in large part to TXU Energy's long-awaited emergence from bankruptcy that was finalized on October 4, 2016. The Fund also announced that the Fund will initiate an open-market share repurchase program initially sized at $10 million. The Fund expects to purchase and retire $10 million of NHF common shares in the open-market over the course of the next 6 months beginning in December 2016.
As noted in the Fund's June 30, 2016 Semi-Annual Report, the Fund held approximately $30 million market value of TXU Energy's first lien debt which was yielding approximately 15% at the time it was converted into equity in the new TCEH Corp. Due to the equitizing, the Fund expects to receive less gross income on a go-forward basis from this investment. We see this as a positive development for TXU and, therefore, the Fund. Now that TXU has eliminated roughly $33 billion of debt through the restructuring and eliminated ongoing restructuring expenses, we believe the company will be more nimble, more strategic and better positioned for M&A activity. Though it is impossible to predict how the equity will trade, our outlook on the company remains positive.
The Board of Directors of the Fund has approved an open-market share repurchase program pursuant to which the Fund may purchase and retire, over a six-month period beginning in December 2016, up to $10 million of its stock in open-market transactions. The amount and timing of the repurchases will be at the discretion of the Fund's investment adviser, subject to market conditions and investment considerations. There is no assurance that the Fund will purchase shares at any particular discount levels or in any particular amounts. Any repurchases made under this program would be made on a national securities exchange at the prevailing market price, subject to exchange requirements regarding volume, timing and other limitations under federal securities laws. The share repurchase program seeks to enhance shareholder value by purchasing shares trading at a discount from their net asset value per share.
The decrease in dividend from $.24 to $.20 per share will result in an annualized distribution rate of approximately 11.2% using the October 31st closing price of $21.35. From the chart below, the yield is still meaningfully higher than the distribution rate prior to the spin-off of NexPoint Residential Trust, Inc. (Ticker: "NXRT"), which occurred on April 1, 2015. We believe the NXRT distribution has been successful, with investors in that entity realizing total annual rate of return1 of 26.3% between April 1, 2015 and October 31, 2016.
1November yield assumes the October 31st, 2016 closing price of $21.35
The Fund is a closed-end fund managed by NexPoint Advisors, L.P. (the "Manager"), an affiliated adviser of Highland Capital Management, L.P. The Fund invests primarily in below investment grade debt and equity and has the ability to hedge risk. The Manager attempts to deliver consistent returns in excess of the Dow Jones Credit Suisse Hedge Fund and the HFRX Global Hedge Fund indices in a [more] transparent, registered fund format consistent with monthly dividends.

Total operating expenses as of the most recent fund annual report are 2.23% of which 0.46% is the cost of leverage. Performance data represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate with market conditions, and you may have a gain or loss when you sell your shares. For most recent month-end performance please visit www.nexpointadvisors.com or call 866-351-4440.
Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the NexPoint Credit Strategies Fund carefully before investing. This and other information can be found in the Fund's prospectuses, which may be obtained by calling 1-866-351-4440 or visiting www.nexpointadvisors.com. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that debt securities, and the Fund's net assets, may decline in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, fixed rate debt securities will decrease in value when interest rates rise and increase in value when interest rates decline.
Leverage Risk. The Fund uses leverage through borrowings from notes and a credit facility, and may also use leverage through the issuances of preferred shares. The use of leverage magnifies both the favorable and unfavorable effects of price movements in the investments made by the Fund. Insofar as the Fund employs leverage in its investment operations, the Fund will be subject to substantial risks of loss.
Credit Risk. Investments rated below investment grade are commonly referred to as high-yield, high risk or "junk debt." They are regarded as predominantly speculative with respect to the issuing company's continuing ability to meet principal and/ or interest payments.
Illiquidity of Investments Risk. The investments made by the Fund may be illiquid, and consequently the Fund may not be able to sell such investments at prices that reflect the Investment Adviser's assessment of their value or the amount originally paid for such investments by the Fund.
About NexPoint Credit Strategies Fund
NexPoint Credit Strategies Fund is a closed-end fund managed by NexPoint Advisors, L.P. The Fund's investment objectives are to provide both current income and capital appreciation. The Fund is invested primarily in below investment grade debt and equity securities and has the ability to hedge risk. The Manager attempts to deliver consistent returns in excess of the Dow Jones Credit Suisse Hedge Fund and the HFRX Global Hedge Fund indices in a [more] transparent, registered fund format consistent with monthly dividends. No assurance can be given that the Fund will achieve its investment objectives.
Shares of closed-end investment companies frequently trade at a discount to net asset value. The price of the Fund's shares is determined by a number of factors, several of which are beyond the control of the Fund. Therefore, the Fund cannot predict whether its shares will trade at, below or above net asset value. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
1Total Return is defined by an investor who received shares of NXRT upon the spin-off, held the shares from April 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016, and received and reinvested all distributions. The total return is an annual performance metric.

"…a love story not just for romance lovers, but for everyone who has been in a relationship, as they all will be able to relate while enjoying an entertaining, fun read which provides also a profound message about our choices in life." -ReaderViews
An encounter with an Italian leads a woman down a path of love and self discovery. Smart, career driven Jamie had not intended to fall in love. And to a foreigner no less, an Italian who doesn't reveal his heritage at first. Jack is short for John, he tells her, but she soon discovers that John is short for Giovanni.
Insanely handsome and intense but unreadable, Giovanni is a man of few words. When after two months together she accompanies him to his cousin s wedding in Italy, Jamie learns that he hasn't been back to the troubled family estate in ten years, but with one step upon the rich Italian soil covered in ancient vines, it's as if he never left.
Suddenly his language is no longer her language, and Jamie is drawn inexplicably into an Italy that outsiders rarely see–a crumbling villa, an old family scandal, a tragic mother, an estranged father, and a host of spirited Italian cousins. Jack is finally forced to face the destiny he's been renouncing; and Jamie makes a rash decision, unaware that it will change her life forever.

She quickly learns that her intended groom is not as honorable as Hampton society believes him to be. Beaten by her betrothed, she seeks refuge in the home of the most feared man in town.
Accused murderer, Grayson Gregory is more interested in guarding a family secret than clearing his name. When a broken and battered woman collapses on his doorstep, he is reminded of a torturous past he can't escape. Kat may have opened old and festered wounds, but he can't deny the fire she ignites in him.
Kat is determined to uncover the truth about Gray, regardless of what she finds. As their attraction to one another grows, Gray must confront his dark past in order to keep her safe. His secrets unfold, forcing him to choose between a new love, or to remain plagued by the demons of his past.

Soon, however, it becomes clear that a killer is stalking the halls of Brier Hospital targeting Jacob's patients.

Radixx growing international market share, adding Orlando jobs
Earlier this week, I saw a posting on LinkedIn that Radixx International was hiring a software support engineer and an IT tech support position.
So I checked in with Chairman and CEO Ron Peri to see what's going on with the Orlando-based software company, which provides online reservation systems for small- to midsize airlines. Turns out the company is growing at a pretty quick clip.
Currently, 20 to 25 percent of all online airline bookings in India are done through Radixx, and it has the same market share in the Middle East. The company signed 15 new airlines on in 2012, a banner year for it, and this year has added seven and is on track to add 20 by year's end.
Revenue is up 20 percent, Peri said, and the company — which has about 75 employees by the airport — anticipates making six new hires by the end of the year.
"We have been growing," Peri said. "2012 was our best year."
Radixx works primarily with international companies, so I asked if there was any chance of growing the market share stateside. Peri said because of the consolidation happening in the airline industry, which is causing carriers to drop less-profitable routes, Radixx anticipates seeing more startup airlines coming in to fill the gaps, which could provide them more domestic customers.
Still, Peri seems proud of the fact that he's doing the reverse of outsourcing, by bringing dollars from overseas countries into the U.S. as revenue. The company collects revenue every time a customer books a flight through the system.
"Around the world, as people book flights, it generates a little bit of money for us," Peri said. "It adds up to a lot of money at the end of the month."

Whatsup everyone,
I am having some issues trying to implement a drag and drop feature within my inventory capX file.
@EncryptedCow is the one i paid to make this for me since at that time i had no experience to comprehend the inventory and arrays.
I am desperate need of help in regards to this inventory capX,Im trying to figure out how i can make items transfer from one slot to another by drag and drop.That is the last thing i need before i can move forward and im not sure at all how to create the effect within my inventory.
I just want the player to be able to take his/her finger and drag an item from one slot to another if that is possible.
This is the final aspect of my inventory for this project i would love to learn from someone who knows of this if possible.
Thank you guys! I wouldnt be where im at right now if it wasnt for this forum and community.Here is the link to my fileINVENTORY CAPX

August // Week 34
I had alot of photos to choose from this week but decided to keep it mysterious and vague. See this is a snap from a walk we took on Sunday to discover what will become (after Saturday) Baker's new walk route and it's lush!
I'll share the rest of the photos on the other blog in due course.
Other things worth mentioning are:
This is my 400th photo/post on this blog!
Baker turned 2!
I did the Ice Bucket Challenge (like the rest of the world).
And we're packed and ready to roll! 3 days to go!
Catch you next Wednesday!

Already looking like lovely walkies :) Good luck with everything!ReplyDelete

Johnny Bass's crew did an awesome job installing new laminate flooring in my rental property. I live in another state from the property but he was very professional to work with. His crew picked up the flooring & supplies I ordered at a nearby home Depot & talk to me directly about what planned to do. They did great work. I would highly recommend Johnny Bas & Laminate Professional!
Beyond words what Jesse (JSR) and his crew are capable of doing. While living in N Fort Myers we purchased our new retirement home in Auburndale and came in contact with JSR. Every scheduled appointment was handle on time. Extreme respect for our budget and stayed within our budget parameters. Our trust and confidence in Jesse and his crew was almost immediate therefore allowing us the blessing of having them handle everything within the "new" house without us having to commute back n forth. The crew completely repainted the 1700sq ' interior, installed complete crown molding throughout as well as installing an entire flooring of a beautiful wood laminate. All within our arranged time frame and within the given budget. What easily could have been a bit of a stressful situation was seamless and our subsequent move and relocation went off without a hitch. Jesse and his team will be returning shortly to work on our kitchen remodel project l and bathroom remodel. Can't wait !! 👍
"I had many people provide me with estimates, but I went with Diversified because they were the most professional and punctual candidates. I was so happy with the installation of my new subfloor and vinyl flooring. What should have taken 4 days, was done in 2! Also, I had a lot of things to move out of the rooms that were done, and they took care of clearing the room which was greatly appreciated. The price of the work was very reasonable. I would highly recommend using Diversified Floor Care. If I need more work done in the future, they will be my first call! Thanks a bunch!!
Love, love, love our new wood laminate flooring. Great job guys! It was a pleasure working with Fickey Flooring, quality work and fair pricing. Thanks
For the past five years Mark has completed several of my townhouse renovations from installing an a beautiful all tile shower, wood laminate in hallway and stairs, bamboo flooring in master bedroom and closets, and most recently wood looking tile living room and hallway. For every project, he has given an estimate which includes his labor and cleanup. In addition, Mark has also met me at Home Depot and/or Floor and Decor to give recommendations and assistance with transportation of heavy materials. Most importantly, Mark is very reliable and extremely efficient! For example, from one day to the next my entire 220 square feet living room floor and hallway was broken down and prepped for the next day installation! So, basically his experience and tidy, beautiful and cost-effective fair pricing keeps me his steady customer. I highly recommend Mark for any of your flooring needs - whether it be laminate, bamboo, tile - I've had them all done and am extremely satisfied by this quality service. I am confident that any future customer will be equally as satisfied!
Great work! Would recommend to anyone with laminate flooring neeeds.
Steve fixed the wall in the garage, fixed the laminate flooring in the florida room, fixed the wall above the mail bathroom, and fixed the tile in the 2nd bathroom. Steve went out of his way to help. He was very professional and very personable. If I needed a handyman again I would definitely hire Steve. He is the best.
Vendor showed up and completed the work in a timely fashion however a problem developed. The floor he installed began to separate after a few weeks. I reached out to make him aware of the issue as he indicated he guaranteed his work. He came and assessed the situation, asked me to purchase another box of the bamboo flooring to facilitate the repair. This wood was a close out from Lumber Liquidators so it was lucky they had another box. He indicated that he would cover the cost of the additional wood. It would be 4 months before he showed up to get done the repair work he promised to do. After a litany of excuses as to why he could not get there from one week to the next, I threatened him with legal action. He finally showed and did the work. However he did not reimburse me for the cost of the additional materials as had promised he would. He told me he'd have the funds to me via PayPal with in a day or two. He lied. I would never consider using him for anything ever again. Neither should you.
Ty was fantastic. He showed up on time and clean then got to work right away. Ty installed my laminate flooring and it looks great. The cuts in the corners are tight and they fit perfectly under the base boards. Ty was quick, professional, and a pleasure to work with. I'll be getting back in touch for my next project.
The work performed in our property was as follows: We had vinyl laminate wood style vinyl plank flooring and baseboards installed in the following areas. Living room, kitchen, bathroom, laundry room and hallways. Douglas the owner and his crew came in and did an excellent job of installing the flooring and we will definitely be using his services again. From removing and prepping the flooring which needed leveling to ensure a quality finish to moving furniture and appliances plus cleanup after was all performed fast and efficient. The quality of work and service they performed was excellent and we highly recommend them to anyone who desires a high quality job done right the first time.
reasonable, prompt, courteous, really impressed with professional job that was done on my carpeting and hardwood floor. def. recommend them. bj new port richey fl
Randy is a dependable, trust worthy contractor that does a great job at reasonable prices. He always showed up when he said he would. He installed 2 bathroom vanities, mirrors, light fixtures, towel bars etc. painted 3 bedrooms, walls, ceilings, baseboards and laid laminate floors in all 3 rooms. Hung a new screen door and skim coated a living room wall and painted it all in 6 days... I have already recommended him to friends and would have him come back to work for me anytime we need a great handyman. Thanks for a job well done......Bonnie & Dave
Hired him to lay ceramic tile & lay wood laminate flooring. They completed the job in the time estimated, & cleaned after themselves each day. Trustworthy & reliable. Will hire again.
Darian Newberry replaced carpet with laminate wood in a couple of bedrooms, replaced upgraded carpet in another bedroom, and installed vinyl plank with a wood finish in my garage. He did an outstanding job and was very responsive to my needs. I would highly recommend his work and company to others. Cost wise, they were competitive with other local firms.
Pete and Richard are great to work with and do good work. Unlike many handyman services I have used in the past, these guys earn the business. I had a fence repair that ended up being complex, but Richard worked it out. I had a tile repair that two other handymen said they could not do. And the best of all, I had a single vinyl slat that had to be reattached and Richard fixed it - of the two others I called, one never showed up and the other almost fell of the roof. The other guy said he would call back and never did. I will hire Richard and Pete in the future when needed.
They did a great work! Very nice people, very patient and did highly professional work. No doubt I will use their service again! Thank you guys :)
We had about 300 sf of Laminate flooring installed. Very happy with the quality of workmanship and it only too him 5 hrs. Great job. Will definitely hire again!
Install Garbage Disposal, Remove toilet and repair leak, replace fluorescent ballasts, remove and replace vinyl flooring, touch up painting, Pressure wash driveway sidewalk and fence etc. Phil's work ethic is above reproach, when paying for an hours work, that is what you get. Should I need future repairs I will hire him in a heart beat. Phil is a true professional.
Twin Brothers did laminate flooring throughout our home and did a wonderful job. They are a professional and curteous team. I would definitely recommend and use again
He did an amazing job painting four rooms for me. Tile backsplash in my kitchen. Laminate flooring and screen enclosure on front and back porch. I would definitely recommend him
We are very pleased with the quality and style of our luxury vinyl plank floor. Mark and Jenny McMurray offer personalized service and attention to detail so you don't have to worry or lift a finger. We are looking forward to transforming the rest of our home with Floor Coverings International of North Tampa!

So after a comment Jeff made today, I asked if designing for user experience (instead of functionality) is an inherently post-modern task. What does that mean?
Really it was Sarah talking about the analogue look of the machine that sparked the thought. Jeff remarked how that was a designer's choice — that the designers could have used digital touch screens and such to make the product. And when we look at that choice — the rejection of 'the best' technology of the moment in favor of an older technology, that seems a distinctly post-modern choice to me.
Why? Let's switch to architecture a second. In the Chicago skyline, there are really tall, really gorgeous buildings with astounding artistic flourishes in the masonry – gorgeous little touches here and there and everywhere – a visual surprise in every corner. And then you have the really tall, square, flat ones.The really tall flat (boring) ones are modernist.
Why? Because the modern movement is typified by all these things that typify second-wave HCI — it's very objectivist. Very functional. Very much about 'optimizing' (not just in function, but in cost). We have "figured it all out." We have new materials (glass and steel) and those are 'better' than stone. In fact, because of glass and steel we can build much taller buildings much more safely — and much cheaper — if we just build straight up buildings with an equal amount of space on every floor, with every window being the same size, and with no additional costly flourishes on the facade. This is optimized for cost, space, ease of build, and for fitting the most real estate in the least amount of space. You can't beat that efficiency (a modernist would say). It's the height of perfection. In a strong modernist view, there are no better choices to make in the creation of skyscrapers anymore – because we have scientifically shown this is as good as it gets. We have "figured it all out."
And post-modernism rejects that notion. This is like third wave HCI. It rejects optimization and instead privileges the human (subjective) experience. That's why when Jeff commented that the designers could have gone with the super digital / modern high tech controls for the machine, the designers' choice seemed very post-modern. For even if every piece of that machine is in fact optimized, still the semiotic expression of its choices through these older elements is not connoting optimized at all! In fact, it's the opposite. The product semiotics of the piece (as the class showed) create a feeling of nostalgia for that post-WWII 1950s style — even in us, who have never lived in there!
So if you can sum up all of the post-modernism vs modernism debate in one broad stroke — and you can't — this would be it: the rejection of the optimized way as the best and only way. Because as Jeff would probably point out – who's perspective is telling us this is "the best" way anyway? The bean counters who pay for skyscrapers? Who cares?? Or the engineers who easily prove this is the optimal way to get the most space in the least area? Or the most floors for the least weight? Who cares?? What does that have to do with style? What does that have to do with human experience?

ED GOLDMAN: Excuses, excuses
The New York Times has reported that subway operators will provide you with a note to your boss when delays are responsible for your getting to work late. The next big thing will be getting a note from your cat in which it explains it really did eat your homework.
Expanding on this, why can 't we expect the following developments?
- Your doctor writing you a note clarifying that you're not overweight, just "big-boned." If you've been saying it all these years, why not have it in writing?
- Your car producing a document for your mechanic saying, "I really was making a suspicious ping-ping sound until the moment my owner drove me into your shop. I thought it was funny. Guess not."
- Your major appliance confessing that it was already breaking down long before its warranty expired — a mea culpa along the lines of, "Look, we both know you built planned obsolescence into my machinery."
- Your plastic surgeon or hair transplantation doctor providing you with an affidavit assuring anyone who asks that you by no means underwent a facelift or Bosley procedure, that your eyes just started bugging out and hair re-growing "spontaneously, in the way that some people unfortunately combust."
- Your credit card company calling your spouse and apologizing for accidentally tacking a $375 charge onto your most recent bill for a two-hour stay and room service at the Skulk Inn and a $723 charge for "losses" at the Lodi Gambleria Casino and Family Fun Center. "We regret the error," the caller might say, adding, in a kind of code to you, "And our collections representative Lonny the Lip will certainly not show up at your office tomorrow at 2:45 p.m. expecting remuneration of any sort. That's 2:45 p.m. that he definitely won't show up — even if your train is late."

Pakistanis think Politicians are responsible for their conditions
Most of the Pakistani people thinks that politicians, no matter from which party they belong, are responsible for the present condition. Currently, most of people are living under the poverty line or just near to it. The present government has also passed more than 100 days but there is no hope for the betterment.
Aitzaz Ahsan cannot even recite Surah Ikhlas
Aitzaz Ahsan was unable to recite Surah Ikhlas during a welcome party given to Zardari in Lahore. See video of Aitzaz Ahsan trying to recite Surah Ikhlas. Some months back, an Indian actress Susmeeta Sen was able to recite Surah Al-Asar correctly. This thing has led to the fact that our top political leaders are unable to follow the Quranic verses as Rehman Malik did the same job some years back. Aitzaz...

Our third, and final full day, on our girls cruise to the Bahamas last spring, was our favorite! We spent the entire day at Norwegian's private island, Great Stirrup Cay. The weather was once again gorgeous with sunny clear skies and a pleasant breeze. We woke that morning, ate another yummy breakfast on the outside deck, and then made our way down to catch the ferry boat over to Great Stirrup Cay.
Looking off the outside deck towards Great Stirrup Cay in the distance.
Catching the ferry boat over to Great Stirrup Cay...
Our first glimpses as we approached Great Stirrup Cay. They had a large blow up water slide, natural tide pools, white sandy beaches, paddle boards, inner tubes, and other water gear to rent, and a ton of cute shops and restaurants.
Parasailing in the distance and the giant blow up water slide
After the chaos and noise of Nassau, we were ecstatic to set foot on Great Stirrup Cay! We loved all the pops of color from the different shops and signs. Wendy needed to find a swim coverup, so we decided to shop first before setting up on the beach.
There were so many fun clothes, bags, and souvenirs to sift through. There was also a spot for hair braiding. I thought the signs were pretty funny for that...seriously... $80-$100 for braids!?
After shopping for a little while, we made our way to the beach and found it pretty packed so we took our time exploring the tide pools on our way to the other side of the island.
The girls found lots of fun little creatures living within the tide pools. I loved looking out at that gorgeous water!
Views looking out at another Norwegian cruise ship and all the people on paddle boards, kayaks, and floats.
Exploring tide pools...
Where we ended up setting camp...
We knew we were going to be in the water the whole time, so we found a nice rocky wall to rest our bags. When we went back for water, we found a large curious crab crawling on our bags. Good thing they were zipped shut!
I was so glad I remembered to bring my GoPro for all the water pictures! We had SO much fun swimming for hours, goofing off for the camera, and even rented a paddle board to try.
Here are just a FEW of our pictures while swimming at Great Stirrup Cay...
Group shot
Kimberly, Aubrey, Me, and Wendy
Isn't that water to die for??
Goofing off for the camera...
Aubrey and Wendy tried some fun synchronized water moves...
More silly underwater poses...
Just a few of the gorgeous fish we saw.
I was so sad we had all forgotten our snorkel gear! It would have been awesome to snorkel out in the deeper waters.
We rented a standup paddle board and each took turns riding on it. Aubrey had had lots of experience on paddle boards from when she lived in the Cayman Islands and Key West. She even showed off some of her yoga paddle board poses! Yeah she pretty much rocked it and had others looking on clapping along with us for her different poses. I still can't get over how gorgeous that water was!
Wendy's turn on the paddle board.
It was her first time and she did GREAT!
Kimberly rocked it on the paddle board as well!
I gave her the GoPro to snap some pics while she was riding on it and they turned out amazing!
As Kimberly floated by us, she snapped some pics. I loved the different point of view from the camera.
Easily my favorite shot from our trip!
Kimberly captured this as she floated by. I love how you can see her shadow on the paddle board so she is still part of the shot. It took Aubrey, Wendy, and I a few minutes to get into position, but I love how it turned out!
After several hours of shopping, swimming, and paddle boarding, we were finally ready to return to the ship. We captured just a few more pics as we said goodbye to the gorgeous Great Stirrup Cay.
That night we decided we wanted to dress up fancy for dinner. It was so much fun all getting ready together! I don't have any sisters, so it was so much fun experiencing what it would have been like all sharing one mirror and outlet. We had a blast, with Aubrey curling and braiding each of our hair. It was so interesting to see how close I felt to each of these girls by day three, especially since I had just barely met Wendy and I hadn't spent too much time with Kimberly before the cruise either. They are each such amazing women, with some of the most interesting and incredible life experiences. We truly became great friends on this cruise.
All dolled up, ready for dinner...
We spent that night eating, dancing, exploring the ship, and yes...talking for hours.
The next morning we woke for one more amazing breakfast before debarking Norwegian Sky and returning to reality. It was such an incredible experience with these girls. I loved getting to know them better and creating lasting friendships.
It truly was an amazing girls cruise!

Average margin at top five handset vendors shrinks to 4%
Posted May 28, 2009on:
New research from Wireless Intelligence has revealed that the world's largest mobile handset vendors are facing severe financial pressures as they continue to invest in their product portfolios during the market slowdown. We estimate that the average operating margin at the top five vendors – Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Motorola and LG – declined to around 4% in 1Q09, down from an average of 13% a year ago.
However, as our data shows, vendors have been unable to reduce expenditure in core areas such as R&D and marketing to offset shrinking margins. R&D expenses are estimated to have risen from 10% in 1Q08 to 12% in 1Q09, while marketing costs have risen from 9% to 10% over the same period. Margins in the sector have also been negatively affected by a high-level of product inventories, fierce price competition, and a decline in the Average Selling Price (ASP) of devices.
The figures highlight the predicament faced by handset vendors as they continue to invest in markets where demand is slowing and margins are shrinking. Vendors are looking to cut costs in R&D and marketing during 2009.
In the first quarter of the year, the top five vendors shipped 191 million devices worldwide compared to 236 million a year ago, a 19% decline. Many vendors – including market-leader Nokia – are predicting a further 10% decline in shipments during the current calendar year. Shipments for the current quarter are expected to be flat sequentially and down year-on-year.
Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Motorola all reported an annual decline in revenues in 1Q09, while only Samsung and LG, the two South Korean vendors, reported positive revenue growth. As a consequence, profits have dropped significantly at most vendors.
Our analysis forecasts the following trends in the mobile devices market in 2009:
• cost savings to be made in R&D as vendors look to streamline their portfolio of devices;
• vendors to focus on smartphones to generate high-margins and lower-tier devices to generate high volumes and maintain market share. Less focus on devices in the mid-tier segment;
• vendors embracing content/media services, shifting the battle in the handset space from a pure hardware play to a software-centric strategy;
• an increase in joint-marketing campaigns with mobile operators and distributors;
• the outsourcing of lower-tier devices to Original Design Manufacturers (ODMs) such as HTC, Compal, Foxconn and Asustek.
The current pressures we are seeing in the handset market have been caused mainly by the high level of maturity in developed markets, though the economic downturn has also played a part with regards to unfavourable currency fluctuations. Depending on the level of subsidies and how fast the bill-of-materials for smartphones declines, handset vendors will have to monitor price elasticity and device price erosion in 2009 carefully.
Vendors that do not have a compelling and competitively-priced portfolio of devices ready to ship in time for the crucial last quarter of the year are likely to be in for a rocky ride in 2010.

Designer Anamika Khanna Shows You How to Jazz Up Traditional Wedding Wear
Fashion Design Council of India's (FDCI) India Couture Week 2017, kicked off last evening (24 July) and the extravaganza will showcase 14 couturiers in 7 days. Starting off the event, designers, Anamika Khanna and Rohit Bal put forward their fashionable best, with jaw-dropping collections!
Adopting the western trend of fashion installations, Anamika centred her collection around a surreal wedding mandap at The Kila, in Mehruli, Delhi, showcasing different functions of a wedding celebration.
The Kolkata designer unveiled her bridal collection named 'Happily Ever After', concentrating on comfort as prime importance. One thing we know about weddings, is that the bride is hardly ever able to move freely, owing to yards of fabric draped around her. In a bid to put Indian brides at ease, the collection aims to concentrate on comfort, keeping style intact ofcourse!
A stand out element in Anamika's collection besides her signature capes, is her use of jackets, giving a new, unique edge to the traditional look. Her collection was divided into different rituals of the Indian wedding. First being the'Welcome Lunch' look, which was kept eclectic with pastel colours, amalgamating thread work with different forms of zardosi.
Artful drapes and folds, asymmetrical silhouettes and intricate embroidery, summed up Anamika's bridal collection, with a twist. If you're planning to tie the knot anytime soon, this collection has some great inspiration to pick up from. Do away with heavy drapes, and replace them with jackets and capes, making it possible for you to move around and enjoy every function. Also, consider breaking away from over-used wedding colours like reds and pinks, and move over to hues of oranges, blues and blacks!

Reviewed by PacNW from PacNW on Thursday, October 31, 2013Warm great looking and fitted, fantastic!
Reviewed by Traveling Trekkie from Florida on Friday, September 13, 2013Nice fit and finish. Not itchy but I can tell I'm wearing wool. I am 5'10" 130 lbs and flat chested and the medium fits perfect. Gives me just enough room to wear a thin undershirt underneath for layering to help get several wearings during travel. I'm planning on taking these to Scotland in the fall.
Reviewed by Qica from Peru on Sunday, August 25, 2013I just purchased this top in 'Gulf'. The colour is beautiful, the cut is flattering, and of course the merino fabric is wonderful. I know it's a base layer but I think this top is too pretty to cover up.
I'm a small or medium in Icebreaker long sleeve shirts (the sizes seem to vary a bit) so I ordered both. The small fit but it was snug and I would be in trouble if it shrank even the slightest so I went with the medium for a little room to move. I'm 5'6", weight 120 lbs and have a 34". bust.
Reviewed by Bikeaholic from Healdsburg,CA on Sunday, August 18, 2013I love Icebreaker wool products. This is no exception.

Reviewed by Sinikat from Seattle on Wednesday, August 14, 2013Got this in XS and it fits perfect. I'm 5'2" 107# 32-33 D The teal color is beautiful. Washes well without shrinkage and retains shape when hung dry. Wear it as a base layer and on its own. Love this top!
Reviewed by Mountain Maiden from Hesperus, Colorado on Friday, July 26, 2013I got the one that looks like blue and white stripes in the picture but the stripes are more purple than blue. I am 5'3", 34" bust and ordered a medium. It's almost too tight - very form fitting - and definitely too long. If you're going to wear it as a shirt rather than underwear, you probably want to size up at least one size.
Reviewed by middle aged hiker/traveller from florida on Thursday, July 11, 2013love icebreaker! just took some of it hiking in the alps and it's great. i'm in my late 40s, so prefer a more forgiving fit in a shirt. Bought this a size up in a small so it wasn't form fitting. lovely colors, a relatively high v neck so don't have to wear a shirt underneath. very flattering, and lovely colors...especially if your eyes are blue.
Reviewed by Outdoor Girl from CA on Wednesday, July 10, 2013I LOVE this shirt. I bought one in the red and when I saw the Ocean blue I grabbed it. Love both of the colors I got. Soft, comfortable, perfect for almost any weather - warm or cold - and washes really nicely without losing its feel. Quality made like all Icebreaker that I have bought. And the prices is incredible!
Reviewed by Hiking Mom from Chicago on Thursday, June 27, 2013Love Icebreaker's products! This shirt was a pleasant surprise since it came in a unique variety of colors. They are much deeper and brighter in person. The fit is good, however I ordered up since I wanted to wear this as a shirt rather than a baselayer.

We have spent the last 2 years listening to egotistical windbags spout about how great they are. I am so ready for this election to be over. I seriously hope they don't start campaigning earlier than ever before for the next election.
In the last couple of days I have found two things that disturb me:
We have been getting the many pre-recorded phone messages from candidates. Only now they have gotten personal. One recording addressed Brandon specifically by name. The other message started out by saying, "I see you haven't voted yet..." I thought that was nobody's business but mine. I voted early once, I had to stand in line for over an hour. So ever since I have voted on election day, around the corner from where I live, where I stood in lines for less than 5 minutes each time.
The political ads on television have been mostly ignorable. And I find that main stream media has lost touch with reality. Their political talk is merely entertainment to me, I get my news from many other sources. However, I saw one station running a political commercial talking about bringing "honest" reporting to the people so we could "vote with our hearts." Hello, I would much prefer to vote with my mind. Voting with feelings has no place in politics. These candidates are on a job interview, we are the interviewers. Since when are job applicants chosen based on feelings?
Enough is enough, give the American people some peace.

Snow Plows Working Hard
How mad do you get at road maintenance crews when the snow is falling and your trying to keep your driveway clear? You travel down town and then you can't parallel park on the side of the road because of all the snow that's put in the way. What's up with that?
I wake up in the morning and to my surprise there is 10 inches of snow on the ground and it's still coming down. Time stamp is around 6 am. Okay that's fine I have 4-wheel drive it's not an issue. Now I need to get ready for work, then go outside and shovel the driveway. The way I clear the snow to prevent that big pile at the end of my driveway, is I pile it on the right side of my driveway as looking out to the road, and then on the left side of my driveway I clear an area as well. If you do this it gives an opportunity for most of the snow to come off the plow before your driveway and minimize the amount of snow piled up at the end of your driveway. Now this isn't guaranteed, but it will help to minimize how much is put back. So I get that done; now find my truck under all that snow. Good, my truck is warming up the entire time and now it's nice and warm. Time stamp is now around 7:30am. Go back in the house and say good by to my wife, warn her about said snow and off I go to work.
Well, side streets aren't plowed, but that's okay I have 4-wheel drive. As I continue my trek, I see that the main streets have had most snow cleared off of them. I don't really think much of it at the moment. Now my travels to work require me to use the highway for a small stretch on my commute. Again, the highway has been plowed, I think awesome but not much else. Once I get into the town that I work in, and see that their streets aren't fully plowed yet I think, what's taking them so long. Time stamp is now around 9am. Still snowing but it is starting to get windy. Now when I say windy, I mean with winds gusting between 60kmh to 80kmh. The white out conditions are horrible, you can't see out the windows. People driving can't see the vehicle in front of them. This is not good. It is getting very dangerous to be out there. If you are walking you are okay as long as you are bundled up well enough. But driving not so much. Then around the corner comes the road maintenance crew clearing the road. Nice to see them working and getting the roads cleared, but they are fighting a losing battle. They clear the roads and 5 minutes later road is covered in snow being blown around by the wind.
Road crews just keep going at it to try and clear the roads so we can get to our jobs or what ever else we need to do. They may not be super quick, but these guys are truly awesome; think about it they work for 12 hours on and then get 12 hours off. Now skipping over a couple of days we are still getting snow and the wind is still blowing hard. The road crews are still going 12 hours on 12 hours off. They are clearing the roads under the worst conditions possible. Its got so bad school districts are closing down schools; some businesses close because the staff can't make it to work. They close parts of the highway because it's too dangerous to travel. But the road crews are still out there, they cannot call in and say I can't make it to work. They just keep going. Sidewalks are covered in snow but my driveway is clear yet I have two large piles on either side of my driveway. When I think about just clearing my driveway and then how much they have to go through and how many roads they have to maintain. I realize how easy I have it and all I want to do is stop the driver and give him/her a coffee or hot chocolate and say thank you for making my commute safer and clearing the roads that we travel on.

raised groin glands (7 lumps) in my 8 yr old boy.. worried sick!!(31 Posts)
hiya i dont know where to start really... after bathin my son back in march i noticed 2 lumps on the left side of his groin... my first thought was he had a hernia so i went off to the docs with him.. doc informed me that they was lymph nodes and he could feel 3 not two like i could see.. was told to take him back in 4 weeks if they hadnt gone down.. in the meantime my son continued to get more nodes come up but this time on his right side... (bearin in mind my son has not been ill for ages no cough,cold nothin!!) so i took him back to docs who checked him again and refered him to pediatrics... and for bloods. once we seen consult he didnt even check my son before blamin it on a virus!! his bloods he said was normal when infact he is borderline anemic and had low white blood count?? was told not to go back unless my son loses weight??? since then my sons nodes hasnt gone down and i can feel more comin up in his neck (very small at mo) he does however have intermittent night sweats that can make his bed and pillow really wet and he often gets bit short of breath.. ( he had xray was told it was normal... but there was a gland showin on his collor bone bit but he said that was normal tooo? is it normal to see lymh nodes on xrays??) he has also had few episodes of runny bum... doctors keep tellin me its nothin,,, but his nodes have been up since march (may have been there longer as i only noticed them in march) and still there now... one of them feels bout 2/3 cm long but i not sure if it a cluster close together or just one long one... gettin worried because he had no sign or symptoms of infection at all prior to this nodes appearin and i cant see a reason for why they have come up?? docs infuriate me as i have fibromyalgia, so they get sick of me goin and i feel like they think i wish my son ill!!... which i dont, i just wanna know why these nodes are there and why is more appearin??? i have no reasonin for why?? if he had been really poorly with a cold etc i would accept it was from a bug but why have loads come up in his groin... normally i would expect them to be up in his neck if it was a virus?? should i be worried??? cant get my head round it as i have no answers to why part from docs sayin virus... which they tend to blame it on when they havent a clue... he has just had bloods again and seein doc tomoz for results but doc only done a repeat a month later so apparently... i can draw a line under it .. to amuse me really!! think its digustin really as if it is a virus what virus is it then??? worried cause of lymphoma and know it can be hard to diagnose as it doesnt always show in blood dependin on type... am i bein silly and take docs word or shall i ask for second opinion??? if the glands had shown to be goin down i wouldnt worry but because more is there now and some bigger from march and i can feel tiny ones in his neck startin i cant let it lye!! specially as he wasnt ill with bug before hand!! all doesnt make sense.. surely glands dont just pop up.. there has to be reason for it?? please help and has anyone else had this with their child and what was the outcome!!
Not had it with a child but with myself. To reassure you it wasn't lymphoma. Have you been referred to a haematologist? Maybe try to get a referral if not. They should be able to rule out lymphoma. They shouldn't leave him if he has raised nodes and night sweats. I know it is scant reassurance but cancers multiply quickly and when my mother had lymphoma her lymph nodes became huge within weeks- I mean tennis ball size.
Sorry I wasn't very clear with that last sentence, I meant I would think if it were cancer it would have become much more obvious by now given the time frame.
Sorry, I keep thinking of other things. It is possible to do a needle biopsy of a lymph node. I had that initially before having a lymph node removed for testing.
also if it is a virus why havent they started to go down?? n how long do i leave it before i go back again... every where on the net i read that they shoud return to normal after a few weeks of infection .. well my sons have been up for 4/ nearly 5 months that i know of and one has got a ikkle bigger (not sure how long they was there prior to me seein them on that day) with more that came up past 2 months?? dont get me wrong they are all various sizes biggest bein bout 2/3 cm i think.. rest smaller... sorry to wittle on but i am really worried incase they miss early stages of cancer, i know that probably seems a little drastic to think but when i google swollen lymph nodes and night sweats that al that keeps comin up. if this was your son or daughter what would you think and do??
thanks again for takin the time to read and await your replies, sorry again if i seem a bit neurotic lol but i am not i am just worried for my son x
thanks for your reply as i have read up on lymphoma but i know there is high grade and low grade some grow quick amd others your on the watch and wait.. n can have lymph nodes come up and no other symtoms for yrs thats what worries me x i want him checked properly but dont want him to have unecessary tests if i can help it.. like a biopsy but part of me does so i know for sure lol. hes only 8 bless him x just think he got a lot of nodes up for a virus that i cant recall him havin?? was actually sayin this has been the best yr yet as normally he picks upo everything but since sept las yr stat of new school yr hes done well which is ironic lol
Doesn't the fact that they are swollen just indicate they are working well and dealing with infection the way they should?
Of course I would want to know they knew what kind of infection it might be and 'virus' is a bit non specific (typically)
Not having something quite as severe with my ds at the moment (2 lumps, not on groin) but nothing else wrong symptom wise, doc said bring him back if there are night sweats or weight loss...so due to the night sweats, if this blood you're waiting on comes back ok I would insist on some more investigation or try a different doctor as it's gone for this amount of time. I hope you get some answers and a good visit with the doctor. I've also found the nhs helpline quite useful at times to reinforce things if you're not sure on what the doctor has said.
i understand that it probably shows they are workin well but its the length of time they have been up and why is more comin up when he is showin no sign of illness is what concerns me x i dont know any of my friend or family that have got lots of kids btween them ever havin this prob with thier kids. just really wanna know what the cause is.. peace of mind really
thanks smokey, i went to docs today with him... but went on wrong day lmao.. appointment is tomorrow grrrr was right on the calender but i thought it was today!! fibrofogged!! been so all over the place lately with everything as my sisters ikkle boy as just been diagnosed with duchennes muscle dystrophy and my nan had a really nasty fall and shattered her from top to bottom and broke her arm in two places!! so a lot on my plate at the mo n not sleepin. so all this with my son probably feels a lot worse than it is cos of everything else that is goin on. will keep ya updated. n yes i was thinkin bout changin my doctors to be honest as i dont have a lot of faith in them as they told me for 2 yrs i had virus and post natal depression when infact i had fibromyalgia!! lol so the virus word doesnt sit to well with me!! n since anything i have wrong with me they blame on fibro now when infact other things have been wrong!
Oh no, I suppose at least you weren't a day late instead. You've obviously already got a lot going on so it can't be easy. No I've never liked the whole virus thing either, seems to be the go to cause for many things when gp's don't have something obvious to go on. It may well be a virus but finding the cause is the important part! I hope the appointment goes well tomorrow and don't be afraid to change docs if you don't get anywhere. They get paid either way and you're the one that has to look after your ds and know him better than anyone. Trust your instincts.

thanks for your reply mrsde. thats whats worryin me because he has raised nodes and night sweats he does get breathless at times but his iron is boardline as few yrs ago he was severely anemic, so i think his breathlessness has a lot to do with that rather than anything else plus his chest xray was clear. i just wanna be sure its not nothin serious as these nodes aint budgin and i can feel more comin up in his neck now. most plces i read that they got one or nodes but my son has got 7 in groin and i can feel about 3 in his neck now. but the first place they came up was groin... no illness no sctratches/spots or bumps anywhere on his legs just weird... maybe i am worryin for nothin but to me it just seems a little odd why they have come up and havent gone down at all. still docs tomoz see what his blood is doinn now and where we go from here... might ask docs to do viral study see if anything shows up with that seems they keep sayin it viral lol.

Sometimes asking them what are the consequences of waiting for 4 weeks/whatever they've told you to do can be useful.
Turn it around and say that you've looked on google and although you can see that the symptoms partially fit with the doctor's diagnosis of a virus, they also fit much better with lymphoma/<insert everything you're worried about here>, so if that was the case, what are the consequences to your ds of waiting for 4 weeks/whatever they say vs going and getting a test to rule it out/diagnose it now? And ask them to add this to their notes to get it documented that you were worried about these things. Would also be helpful to explain that the virus diagnosis makes you worried as you see it as a convenient catch-all dismissal because you were told you had a virus for 2 years when it was actually fibromyalgia and you really don't want the same thing to happen again - for your son to be fobbed off for a long time when there's something else going on.
Sometimes asking them to explain to you exactly why it isn't whatever you're worried about given that google (or maybe quote the nhs symptoms pages or a reliable reference from the internet) suggests that everything fits so you want to ensure it's not the nasty thing - and making them 1) explain it to you and 2) write it in your son's notes - can help to concentrate their minds (and the corresponding increase in their insurance premiums when they have over-ruled you and could have caught something serious earlier!) and let you have the appropriate diagnostic tests to sort things out sooner.
I've heard that doctors are often taught if they hear hooves to think horses. Not zebras as there aren't many of them around. However in this case it sounds like your doctor is hearing hooves and hearing horses without even considering that there could easily be ponies, donkeys, mules, asses and so on - and that there are also some zebras around (I live near a safari park so there are quite a lot locally)...
Sorry that's a bit rambly, hope you can understand what I mean!

MrsDV I must admit I hate the compensation culture that's grown up but just occasionally it can be very useful - and this sounds like the perfect time that it doesn't hurt to use it to your advantage when you're worried about a potentially sick child. It's not like this is the first time you've been in to see the doctor - it's been months now - and you have very legitimate worries. particularly in this case when there are some big scary 'symptoms fit' options out there - you're not obsessing about the difference between two minor outcomes!
Good luck OP - really hope that the doctor actually listens to you and does something positive rather than just send you away for another month!

well update for ya.... after last week and fallin out with the doc he said he took time to review my sons notes and looked at all the symptoms as a whole etc and look at his lastest blood results (which came back pretty much ok but his wbc is still low and the same as last months) he said he phoned heamotology to get a second opimion of lexs symptoms and blood results etc and as a result of this as his symptoms could mean a number of thing... meanin his night sweats etc he now feels it would be good to go for a second opinion, so instead of goin to bath peds where i went last time he is now sendin me to bristol childrens hosp... sounds mad but i feel relieved that they finally gonna look into it more, even if it comes back that lex has a bug of some sort that was missed and needs treatin with antibiotics i will be happy just to know a reason for why his nodes are up so i can place it in my head. just prayin its not lymphoma to be honest but if it is then we will deal with it, but as a parent i need to be 100% sure that my boy is ok. hes my life. As so far we have no reason for why these nodes 7+ up/night sweats and breatlessness is happenin as he has showed no other sign of illness or weightloss not that i have noticed really as he has always been my skin and bone ( MY NICK NAME FOR HIM) as he has always been skinny and never really gained weight. still least now he is goin to the right place to be checked properly and hopefully put my mind a rest once and for all x
thanks so much for your time and and responses
will keep you all updated
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
thanks mrsde, hope all is ok too but least if anything is there ie virus or worst case it can get sorted like ya said. just need peace of mind really, all i ask for, my boy is my life
Glad you're seeing a haematologist, they will be a huge help. Good luck and I hope he feels better soon.
Hi Lynnie, glad the doc took the time to do that for you. It's not mad to feel that way, whatever the outcome you just need to know what it is so you can get your ds whatever he needs to put an end to the night sweats and lumps. It's a shame it's taken this much time but hopefully you're a step closer now.
Thanks everyone for listenin and advice you all been great. Will keep you updated.
Just hope we get the answer why they up etc weather it the big C or just virus. Can put my mind at rest then and deal with what ever the cause is n move on from the worry of it lol
Thanks again you have all been great
Hiya just an update... got call from childrens hosp this mornin... got appointment for wed afternoon at the ciu. Hopefully get to the bottom of it all now.
