Robotic LIE DETECTOR - In Your Future ????

A father buys a lie detector robot that slaps people when they lie.
He decides to test it out at dinner one night.
The father asks his son what he did that afternoon.
The son says, "I did some schoolwork."
The robot slaps the son.
The son says, "OK, OK. I was at a friend's house watching movies."
Dad asks, "What movie did you watch?"
Son says, "Toy Story."
The robot slaps the son.
Son says, "OK, OK, we were watching porn."
Dad says, "What? At your age I didn't even know what porn was."
The robot slaps the father.
Mom laughs and says, "Well, he certainly is your son."
The robot slaps the mother. . .

Ela, that was cute. 🤣

[Nay]

I'm waiting to be wheeled back for my tenth right heart cath/biopsy and was wondering why I'm so much more nervous than usual, and I just figured out that it's probably because I didn't tell anyone (besides my guys, of course), so I could really use some prayers and good thoughts! If my rejection is still zero or even low, I think this is the last one I'll have to get for a while!

[Ela]

Praying for your fast recovery Renee! I thought you were done? I really don't know what is involved! I'm here for you should you need anything!

[Lisa]

Nay - you ALWAYS have my prayers. I continually think of you and all you are going through, and how f'ing brave you are with all you face. I'm kind of in awe of you, friend...you are in my thoughts!!

[Robin]

Renee!!! Sending good vibes! I thought you were done too! 🙁🙁🙁 *big hugs*

[Tessa]

*hugs* Lots of prayers Renee.

[Leslie]

Nay, sending the biggest, squishy hugs your heart can take.

Xoxo

[[deleted user]]

Absolutely sending good thoughts and prayers. I'm with Lisa, so much bravery.

[Grey]

xoxox, thinking of you, Nay. hoping you are resting well. please check in as soon as you can.

[Jan]

Gentle warm hugs and good wishes xoxo

[Nay]

Thanks, everyone! I tried to post yesterday, but then they came to get me, and the rest of the day was just a whirlwind.

Ela--this is the test I have to get that gauges my rejection level. As time passes, they're spread out more and more, and eventually, I'll just get one per year (or maybe even less that that--I can't remember). But from my understanding, they put an I.V. line in my neck and thread some type of wire through it down to my heart to 'measure the pressure' (that's the 'right heart cath' part of it) and then they thread a little pincher through it and pinch off pieces of my heart for biopsy. It's a little more complicated than that, but I only want to know 'basically' what they do because I'm awake while they're doing it and I want as few details as possible!

Everything went fine. You'd think I'd be used to these by now after having so many, but they seem to be getting harder--probably because they keep going in at the same spot in my neck.

So anyway, I found out that I still have to get another in a month and then another a month after that (that will be 6 months since the transplant). But if all continues to go well, I think I'll get 6 months off after that (as long as my rejection never gets above a '1', which is what it was yesterday.)

The best part is that they went down a little more on my prednisone. Now I'm down to 5mg a day, so hopefully, this swelling will finally start to go down!

Thanks again for all your prayers and good thoughts. It REALLY did help!! Now I'm just going to take it easy for the rest of the day!

[Lisa]

Nay!!!!! Glad to hear it went well....I still think you are so damn brave. I'd be curled up in a ball. I mean, I get that we all do what we have to do...but you amaze me, girl!!! Rest, relax, read....repeat!!

[Robin]

Ditto Lisa, Nay!! You are truly Wonder Woman! ❤❤❤

[Robin]

Lord. I read one name, type another. Clearly not enough tequila in my system.

[Ela]

WOW JUST WOW RENEE! YOU ARE ONE TOUGH COOKIE I TELL YA! I'm so glad everything went ok and hope you are feeling better, your neck must be so sore :(

[Paula]

So happy it all went well Nay xx

[Tessa]

Yeah! So glad everything is going well. It sucks that you have to be awake, but it's so good that everything is working out.

[Leslie]

Nay, glad to hear all is ok. It sounds exhausting all the procedures and meds you have to deal with. You have a great attitude though and we are all in awe of your bravery. 😗

[Grey]

YAY NAY!!! I am so happy that all went well, I have been thinking about you since yesterday, so happy to hear that all went well! Now will just keep my fingers crossed for excellent results!

[Jan]

Hooray Nay. So good to hear. *gentle hugs*

[[deleted user]]

Yay, Nay!

[Melinda]

That's just great Nay. So strong, an inspiration. Kisses. 😘

[Nay]

Believe me, I'm NOT really all that brave--I just don't have a choice! lol

Any of you who have experienced a health crisis yourself or in your family know how it is. You do these individual things as they come and you deal. Then, before you know it, you've done a whole bunch of individual things that add up to this one huge thing. And then you look back and think 'OMFG! How the heck did I DO that?' But I'm SO thankful to have had all of you cheering me on through this!

Anyway, I just wanted to check in and let you know I'm still around. I'm finishing up this round of editing the next few days and then I'll be back. I still have at least one challenge book to finish!

[Leslie]

Nay, speed up that editting so we can have you back!! ;)

[Ela]

I'm on a total Meghan March kick! Awesome sexy times!

[Melinda]

That's my next read Ella thanks😁

[Grey]

Nay, how are you feeling??

Just make sure you don't make the same mistake I made and read from the top because even though the duets and trilogy are "standalones" characters from the other books do make an appearance and some more significant than others.

Tasha, did you mean me? I was at TBB in December. It's really hard to go in there looking for specific books, because it does changed depending on what she has on hand. It's better to look for specific authors since that's how the books are categorized. I didn't see TJR or Leylah Attar, and I looked. But, they may be there now. Renee Carlino was there and your mom would probably love Sweet Thing or Before We Were Strangers. Of course all of CoHo's are there and Tarryn Fisher (but I'm not as familiar with her). I also got Mia Sheridan when I was there and Natasha Boyd. Suanne said she did send some in so she is hopefully still there, and I checked with Emma Scott and she said she will be sending some this month but probably not in time for your mom. I recommend making a list of authors she likes and just going through the shelves. They're all $15 and signed.

[Robin]

Tasha, Jeannine Colette said she sent a box last year so she may still have some there and I think your mom would probably like hers as well. My favorite is Wild Abandon, but they're all good.

Wow I love your Mom's reading tastes! My mum was Mills and Boon all the way (Oops, I typed Mills and Boob and it didn't autocorrect LOL). She used to keep a box of them under her bed for easy bedtime reading access. The super cheesy ones with the shocking old covers lol.

[Robin]

Tasha wrote: "Yep, I meant you. Sorry I spelled it wrong!! That does help, thank you for the suggestions. She doesn't usually read a lot of indie authors or know what's out there unless I tell her about it or sh..."

Your mom and I have very similar tastes! And I don't love all of CoHo's other books, like I do IEWU, so I totally get that. I think Suanne would be a good bet for her since she likes the painful ones. And I know TJR is probably not there but have her read ALL of her first books (can't speak for her latest). I flipped through After I Do today for writing inspiration and I was bawling. Just flipping through. I had to pick another book because I got so upset!

[[deleted user]]

Wait. Hey now. Mills and Boone are basically Australia and Britain's Harlequin. Or we our their American version. Anyway I have had a lot of reading pleasure from them and Silhouette over the years. How i first found Nora Roberts.

[Jan]

Oh yeah, as a teen I used to sneak read some of Mum's Mills and Boons as well (in between Georgette Heyer and Ann McCaffrey). The H's were always square-jawed and usually smoked. There were always a few very heated looks and the odd passionate embrace, followed by an engagement ring. Never any sexy times in those days. LOL.

[Melinda]

Thank you Ella, I'm in the USA at Florida at Disney and universal studios at the moment going to New York on Friday. A little busy for reading. But on the plane. Just read Tycoon that was really good. It is very warm here.

[Leslie]

Tasha, I don't like ANYONE except Maryse's group & GR friends to see my covers. Non - romance readers (and husbands) are so judgey!!!

[Ela]

Yeah, apparently there's a heat wave everywhere but Chicago, it's perfect weather in the Windy City!

How fun Melinda. Do you travel a lot?

I have been debating growing out my hair or getting a bob. There is a salon that I like in a different town. I was visiting that town yesterday and thought I would go in to pick up some hair products and make an appointment to cut my hair towards the end of August. And maybe get a few highlights. I've gone to four different hairdressers at that salon. They've all been different but three of them I really liked. It's just I get my haircut like once a year so I'm never anybody's regular and when I call one sometimes they're booked up when I want to go in and so they refer me to another stylist. However the last stylist I went to will not a bad haircut was it when I was that happy with. But it was almost a year ago as to when I went in honestly I didn't even think she would remember me or maybe hoping she wouldn't be there but she was and she greeted me and commented on how my hair is growing out. So I just bought my gel and left. No I'll feel bad if I go and I make an appointment with someone else but I don't really want to go back to that stylist. Before I didn't feel bad because I was making last-minute appointments and they stylist are usually booked up so i went with who was open.

[Grey]

bev, do they have a website or a facebook page? can you see individual stylist's hours that way? I totally understand your feelings. It's hard for everyone, but especially us girls with curly hair (I think I remember you're a member of the curly haired crew..., if not, I'm sorry I confused you with someone else!) Hopefully, they have pictures of themselves up on their page to identify them and That way you could call and make an appointment with so-and-so...(who isn't the one you don't want)

[Melinda]

Bev, just remember you are the one whose paying and you have to be happy with the way they cut your hair or colour or whatever so you have to be happy. If you feel happier going to another town then do it. It's your hair don't feel bad ask for a different stylist and if they say something just say your trying something different and the times didn't suit. I have just gone back to a bob and I change as soon as I feel I'm not happy with the cut or colour or price.
