I told them she was too drugged up and they didn't believe me. Hospice pulled all her meds, per her agreement, and she "woke up" and has been awake since. (I think it was because she was too drugged but no one farking believes me.) She has some heart problems that require hospitalization from time to time and that concerns me. I'm close to her as well - she's like a mother to me. I am sending best wishes that she mend soon and comforting thoughts to you from one grandchild to another.<BR/><BR/>As for your health? SLOW DOWN ON THE EATING! Lower your portions sizes. Eat what you want but less of it. Increase your water intake. Most times we feel hungry when water is all we need. Walk, walk, and walk some more. Easy exercise. :) (Plus you'll feel better and sex is better too. :o) )<BR/><BR/>As for cheer competitions? No clue. Hate cheerleaders - they suck.preTzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03536465579225240434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174721864572618040.post-2579915215897003842007-10-24T14:19:00.000-05:002007-10-24T14:19:00.000-05:00TRAVIS!!!!!!!!!!!You should call the doctor.

I've avoided some of these meds for the same reason. The side effects are horrible. But doctors seem concerned primarily about making money and not about your health. One wonders, treat future health risks with current health risk? How does that provide us with a net benefit?Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174721864572618040.post-69464847892104590282007-10-24T12:45:00.000-05:002007-10-24T12:45:00.000-05:00I have been AWOL, I know, I was sorry to read abou...I have been AWOL, I know, I was sorry to read about your grandmother.

These competitions have been going on for years, and just a little background first. They have different organizations UCA, and NCA are the two biggies, and you qualify for Nationals which is what is on ESPN usually by going to camp, or sending in a video tape performance. I actually posted the video tape performance from my senior year on my blog awhile back. Anywho. I think it's a nice extra for us cheerleaders for all our hard work, we go and and do a 2 minute extreme routine and the best squad(usuall the one that hits) comes out on top. It's a chance for us to do all our skills, and show what we've learned and get judged on them. During football/basketball/volleyball/soccer which are all sports I cheered for at Purdue we're never the main attraction, and it's our chance to be in the spotlight. I know too that some people don't call us athletes, and this is one way to say hey look what we do is incredibly athletic and most can't do it. Does that help at all?<BR/><BR/>Also, I coach cheerleading at the HS I teach at, and we have recently started a competition squad from all our squads which is Boys Varsity Basketball, Girls Varsity Basketall, JV, and Freshmen. We select 14 girls from those groups that way if they want to cheer but not compete it's not a big deal. <BR/><BR/>:) help at all? You should watch em they are very entertaining, The University of Kentucky is amazing! By the way ref'ing isn't a sport cheerleading is that's the difference, and don't get me wrong I loved cheering at ALL the games just as much as competingPhatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06694684931757245608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174721864572618040.post-61553415537393403112007-10-23T21:12:00.000-05:002007-10-23T21:12:00.000-05:00Cheerleading is a form of athletics, the same way ...Cheerleading is a form of athletics, the same way dancing is. It can be done well or poorly, just like dancing. Those who engage in cheerleading are as interested in showing off their prowess to other experts in the field as dancers are.<BR/><BR/>The important thing to understand is that the cheerleaders consider football to be a mere excuse for what they do. It's as secondary to their art as music is to a dancer; the dancer is more concerned with the joy of their own movements than the brilliance of the music. The cheerleaders don't <I>really</I> care who wins the game.jjdebenedictishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16950592240599703771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174721864572618040.post-15226395403673774592007-10-23T19:37:00.000-05:002007-10-23T19:37:00.000-05:00Travis--the fall in the bathroom is not good! So ...Travis--the fall in the bathroom is not good! So many of these darn drugs have side effects worse than the condition. Surely these is something better.?? I'm a firm believer that some of these doctors need to take the medication themselves before prescribing it for us. They might be a little more cautious and hey I bet they could lower their malpractice insurance--that is if they survived the side effects. <BR/><BR/>I'll say a prayer for your grandma.Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04073573682040136848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174721864572618040.post-29479047788030835312007-10-23T18:45:00.000-05:002007-10-23T18:45:00.000-05:00Oh, I hope your grandma gets better.

Lots of hard surfaces and such.<BR/><BR/>The cheerleading riddle is an interesting one. But I would argue that even though one might not care how a *ref* looks when he calls a neutral zone infraction, people do care how *cheerleaders* look as they perform their routines. So the technical performance is judged on aesthetics rather than actually <I>cheering on</I> the team.<BR/><BR/>Huh - coming to the defense of cheerleaders. I'm fairly certain I've never done that before. I thought all you Texans considered cheerleaders to be the creme de la creme of society!
