He'll be here presumably through a four-year residency, which will be through my medical school years. sometimes when you're away from home, it's really nice just to see a friendly face from familiar territory.AlexisARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09797016673203467911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485729541580426717.post-88327930653367840272014-11-01T23:22:26.630-07:002014-11-01T23:22:26.630-07:00I would have paid money to see the exchange and th...I would have paid money to see the exchange and the look on her face at the end of it. I don't guess she's smart enough to deadpan it, so I suspect her chagrin was obvious.AlexisARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09797016673203467911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485729541580426717.post-81735874950661051052014-10-31T13:33:27.100-07:002014-10-31T13:33:27.100-07:00Way to go, ex!

Thank goodness you have the one little one, and I offer prayers, hope, light, and positive thoughts and vibes that your little one will eventually be joined by cousins or siblings.AlexisARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09797016673203467911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485729541580426717.post-42659912965337675962014-10-30T14:17:01.669-07:002014-10-30T14:17:01.669-07:00Lucky girl to have the friends/ contacts with the ...Lucky girl to have the friends/ contacts with the savour-faire & chutzpah to deal with that. Some of us have had to wait for the wheels of time and fate to grind slowly to see such results. I remember one such in the year below me, Christian name,Sue , but universally referred to as Screw Mc,,,,,, for reasons obvious. <br /><br />She has hung around on the periphery of medical practice, broken marriage to some one who married her for citizenship reasons and generally has under achieved. Who I am I to judge? I just know that I got one of my most prized jobs because I was the opposite of her.<br /><br />Fingers crossed for Jillian's big day. We have had 2 disappointments. My daughter-in- law had an ectopic in January followed by a miscarriage at 12 weeks in July. Makes our little one double precious, but aren't they all .OzDocnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485729541580426717.post-45518408739488134992014-10-29T23:23:46.204-07:002014-10-29T23:23:46.204-07:00I'm sure your ex's comments were quite a s...I'm sure your ex's comments were quite a shock to Enemy #2.
