Things not to do

Parent Cafe

<p>An obvious one hit me today: I shouldn’t be climbing on the roof when my vertigo is acting up.</p>

2

<p>Stay away from the edge, lie down, and wait for help!!</p>

3

<p>Posting to CC while on the roof also seems like a bad idea.</p>

4

<p>Yikes! I assume all is well now, since you’re on your computer.
My Dh also has vertigo that comes and goes. Have you had any therapy for it, and if so, has it helped?</p>

5

<p>Other things not to do:</p>

<p>Walk in the house after walking in dog poop.</p>

<p>Well, actually: Walk in dog poop in the first place.</p>

6

<p>Something else not to do:</p>

<p>Leave a fruit bowl on the counter when leaving your Lab at home alone for a few hours.
(last night he knocked out all the fruit, ate two green apples entirely and left a half-eaten on on the rug.)</p>

7

<p>Not wear safety glasses when pruning bushes. Poked myself in the eye today for the second time in as many years and now have to see the optho at 7am tomorrow morning.</p>

8

<p>another thing NOT to do:</p>

<p>leave the door to the kitty litter room open in the presence of two dogs while out of the house for hours doing errands. :eek:</p>

9

<p>Emily, don’t do that! :eek: I hope everything is okay with your eye.</p>

10

<p>Thanks DeborahT! Last time it happened I scratched the heck out of my cornea.</p>

11

<p>Based on the experience of one of my sisters-in-law, I have always told my kids that marrying someone you met in rehab is not a good idea.</p>

12

<p>

what? really??</p>

13

<p>Well…my neighbor’s version is getting pregnant in rehab is not a good idea. However, the young man who is the result is a great kid.</p>

14

<p>Well I’ve never been to rehab, but I can’t imagine it to be a good place to get pregnant.</p>

15

<p>Another thing not to do:</p>

<p>Buy more house than you can afford. You’ll regret it forever.</p>

16

<p>

</p>

<p>Especially if you climb on the roof when your vertigo is acting up.</p>

17

<p>My 80 + year old neighbor should not have been up on her roof with a leaf blower. At least she detached her oxygen tank first.</p>

18

<p>“Another thing not to do:
Buy more house than you can afford. You’ll regret it forever.”</p>

<p>But once you’ve done it, you may as well enjoy it!</p>

19

<p>Write your manager a scathing letter when you’re angry. Which is what I’m about to do.</p>

<p>Deep breaths and tone it down.</p>

<p>Don’t put on mascara in a moving vehicle! My sister scratched her cornea badly while putting mascara on in the car while her daughter was driving.</p>
