Rainy Tuesday Randoms

[onesweetworld]

I like the Randoms thread the best, so I need one. It's rainy in my neck of the woods and I'm enjoying a day off. I'm tempted to even make a coffee and sit here with my Netflix all day.

I do have a call at 11 but I don't want to do anything

[ladytiffany24]

Rainy day here too.

I'm having a hard time concentrating today which is no bueno. I have way too much to do.

ETA: It still hasn't started raining yet. This is what happens when I don't have an office with a window.

[BabyStandish]

No rain yet, but we are supposed to get some bad storms later today.

[onesweetworld]

I want tacos.

Of you say tacos backwards it kind of sounds like "suck it"

[wannabmama]

It's rainy here too...and coooold! I had to pull out my winter coat again!
And now I want Mexican for lunch...thanks onesweetworld and ugaqueencity

[ladytiffany24]

Can I just have a margarita?!

Ok, this might be a really dumb question. We got our Counsyl results back today(haven't met with the RE about them yet). There is one disease that DH is a carrier for. It's inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. I thought that meant that BOTH DH and I had to be carriers in order for us to be able to pass it on to a child. However the Counsyl report says that I am not a carrier but we still have a 1:1100 chance of passing it onto a child. What am I missing?

May is right around the corner and it is snowing here. Like 1-3 accumulation legit snow.

And I didn't have anything to bring for lunch so I have to walk in the snow to find lunch. Wah wah wah.

I'd be at home curled in a ball crying if it was snowing.

Yikes. I'm hoping to come up to your neck of the woods in June.

We are suppose to get storms for like the next week. So ready to get out to 90 degrees in Vegas.

My stepdad had the vent pulled yesterday and is doing really well except he is still loopy from the meds and hungry from the feeding tube. Mom said he spent the whole day yesterday trying to get out of bed to go to Taco Bell. I will remind him of this in a week or two.

[onesweetworld]

rooskie I'm glad your stepdad is better

We are supposed to get a nasty storm/hail/tornadoes today starting at 4, so I am taking off at 4 so I can go get DD. I hate being separated from her when the weather is terrible.

I just found out I can get Holy Donuts at the general store near my office. Makes me so happy. 

[icedtea]

Eek good luck diamondsndaisies! It hit me yesterday that we're getting into tornado season. Hate it.

Snowing here. I cannot with this day. I fucking melted DH's computer. Yes, MELTED. We haven't needed our propane heater in a couple of weeks so DH had put his laptop on top of it. It is motherfucking SNOWING today so I turned it on before jumping in the shower. I didn't see his computer ... came back to find it melting. FUCK.

Luckily we actually just ordered new ones with our tax return money and they will be here Thursday. I started crying and called DH. He said it was fine and then reminded me that the last time he needed a computer was right when we started dating and I accidentally kicked it off the couch and broke the screen. So he laughed and said in 7 more years I will have to think of a new way to trash his computer. So he was cool because he actually backs his shit up but goddamn I feel like a dumbass.

Holy crap! I'd be freaking out too. I'm so glad that he backs it up. And now I'll back mine up right now! Haha I haven't in a couple months.

[easilyunamused]

It's nice here today, so we'll actually get to go on a hike. I do not miss the last spring snow. My mil says that MHs birthday always bring snow. (It was yesterday) so you all can just blame him. Lol

We split a bottle of wine with dinner last night and I'm paying for it today. I haven't been drinking much, so it feels like I drank the whole bottle to myself. Blah

It is Taco Tuesday after all! I need to see if we have the stuff to make tacos for dinner. I don't want them. I NEED THEM.

I just admitted in the WTO thread that I don't know how to science, like, at all, but from personal experience, I'm a carrier for a certain trait and DH is not, but my son's genetic screen when he was born showed that I passed the trait on to him.  So he doesn't have the disease but he has the trait.  Is that what you're asking?

[rooskie]

I still have a coupon from Chipotle for a free burrito that has been in my purse since St Patrick's day. I think I could get a gold award around here for having that will power.

This sounds like it might be a good question for joy because she knows science.

It would help if I knew the disease.

But, off the top of my head, it may be a damaged gene isn't rescued by a healthy gene 100% of the time.

TheEleventhHour oh no!! I feel that pit of my stomach feeling just thinking about you seeing the computer!
