Sounds like a class act guy. Guess she must have really been in your face for you to recognizer her years later. Is this the first time your mom is hearing this story? HAHA!
Sorry, I have not learned how to cut and paste post, but this was from: Flipflopmom

Yes this is the first time Mom heard this, but sometimes its better not to know .
She has always had a good head on her shoulders and I knew she used it.

Greetings Mickey Teammates!

Finally, we have SUN here. Although my dd's university still hasn't had class yet and they were cancelled again today. She went back last weekend for school to start on Monday. Wonder what they've been doing all this time....(or maybe I don't want to know, LOL).

I weighed myself this morning and it looks like almost 5 lbs are gone! I cannot wait to hit my next mile marker, which will put me into a new group of 10's that I haven't seen since my pg. 3 years ago. WW is really working well for me, mainly because I have to enter it all in online and it stops the binge eating (you know, if one tastes really good then 3 or 4 taste even better!). Last night I made some delicious potatoes by slicing and baking in the oven with a little olive oil and some spices from a packet I bought at the DTD Kitchen Store last week. Yum!

QOTD Vacation: we just got back from WDW and I'm planning our next trip in July. We're taking some friends and I had a great time finding little things I can leave for her every month as part of the countdown. She totally appreciates it; it's nice to have Disney crazy friends who get it.

QOTD Dates: Married for 23 years and memory for dating is very foggy!

Have a great day everyone!!!

I had (its after midnight) a really rough day yesterday emotionally. My husband and daughter were killed on Jan 27, 2008 when we were hit head on by a drunk driver. The 3 year anniversary is around the corner. I was depressed and didn't give a flying flip about anything today. So I ate probably around 2000 calories today. I didn't have any soda but today was just bad.

Tomorrow is a new day.

I am so sorry for everything, I cannot even imagine what you are going through. I hope you are feeling a little better today. You are in my thoughts.

 

[tigger813]

My in box is empty and waiting on all of your wonderful weigh ins tomorrow! I did receive a weigh in this morning!

Welcome to all of our new comers!!!! You're in GREAT company!

REMINDER: Please make sure that you put your team name in your title of message to me to save me time! Also write your WEIGHT not what you lost though you may include that as long as you also have given me your weight! With over 160 of you now, the easier things are the better!

Leaving working in about 45 minutes to run and pick up more WW meals for DH and myself! $1.49 a box! Can't beat that. Just hope they have meals we like.

Feeling much better today. I plan on getting in a workout when I get home and maybe another tonight if I have the energy! I think my body was missing the Herbalife stuff. My co-worker and I think it was the B12 I was lacking! I've had 2 cups of green tea, a water with aloe and a shake this morning. For lunch I had a WW meal and Cherry Zero (only soda for the day) and 3 mini Reese's peanut butter cups.

Hopefully the girls and I can do some Just Dance this afternoon as we never got around to it yesterday!

The sun is so bright outside today! Glad that it's melting all the snow on the roads though it is very cold out and still quite windy! Hoping we are done with snow for awhile though we may get some next week though it's too early to tell!

I think I'll have my SoBe water and then read some more posts!

I'll be up early tomorrow, hopefully to workout and start putting in weigh ins!!!

Good luck! My gain won't be as much as I thought despite not being so good the past few days. Boy, I must have burned off a lot of calories shoveling. I do need to finish our deck later so that could be another workout!

So glad to have some energy back!

TTFN

In college I went to a very liberal arts school. Think lots of piercings, tattoos and mohawks. Anyway a kind of quiet guy in my computer class asked to partner up for a project. After working on it and finding a bit in common we met a few times for coffee. He asked me out to see a play with another couple he was friends with. It would be the first time I had met any of his friends (I did not consider that we were dating just seeing where the interest might go).

I was the only person with a car (red flag 1) so I picked him up, went to pick his friends up who made us sit around for almost an hour while they got ready (?!?!?!) then I drove us to the theater. I was hungry and stated as much but there wasn't really time to grab a bite (which I believe was part of the plan but, we wasted an hour at the friends apt). So we decided to get something after.
It was a very small theater with maybe 3 rows of seats, so close you could almost smell the actors breath. Ok, that's fine. Well in the second half of the play the main character for no apparent reason takes off her shirt and does the rest of the play topless. Now, I'm sure it was in the script but I sure didn't see that one coming. And so, um, close up!
Alright, now I'm starving but no one them has any money (what is this red flag 2 or 3?). I don't know how it happened but somehow we ended up in a 7-11 type store only not the clean franchise with pre-made sandwiches. This is a dirty, city bodega. My "date" suggests I get something to eat here. Ha! Instead of doritos I grabbed an apple. That's pretty harmless. We are walking down the street to head to the next place (I think a bar so they must have had *some* money) when I bite into a completely rotten apple.
After the first drink at the bar I came down with a terrible headache and needed to rush right home. I didn't even feel bad for letting them take the El home.
Needless to say at the next class I told him in no uncertain terms to lose my number.
Several years later, DH & I were engaged and went to an Italian restaurant with a large group of his friends. Guess who our waitress was? The topless actress!

that was a good one. Ive once heard that we have to find all the mr wrongs before we know what mr right actually is. Thanks for sharing your story. I cant believe she was your waitress years later and that you actually remembered her.

My first date ever was my first date with my DH. We went to the movies on a double date. After the movie we were walking to the car and I had turned to talk to my friend and DH walked me right into a pole. Everyone thought it was funny (except me at the time) We all laugh about it now.

Nice guy. I guess it couldnt have been to bad since you still married him

It's been a rough night around here. Nick has brought up some new or new to Chris and I symptoms which have us in worry mode again. Of course the Neurologist hasn't followed up with us so I'm totally stressed out. Ended up calling the neurologist on call and she was no help. She said she'd pass it along to his neurologist and he'll get back to us. Who knows when. It almost feels like last year when Hunter was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Calgone take me away.

deb. I hope all turns out of. I am so sorry that you have to go through this.

Today was a whirlwind! I looked everywhere for my keys this morning, and eventually even pulled DH's key to my car off his ring...only to find my keys still in the deadbolt from last night as I stepped outside. Then I left my big water cup in the car.

I leave my keys in the door often and go crazy looking for them. It drives my dh batty. I also left my big cup of water in the car last night so this morning I had a big cup of ice. You dating story was very odd...talk about being the 3rd wheel.

I had 2 big accomplishments (for me!) the last 2 days. Yesterday someone brought fresh donuts to work as I was getting off work. Donuts are my nemesis! I LOVE Donuts! I passed them up! There was even one left sitting on the table as I was leaving and I resisted!

Great job. donuts are a tough one for me too. I find that if I wait long enough by the time I get to the box everyone else eats the good ones I like and then I have no choice but to be donut-free.

I had (its after midnight) a really rough day yesterday emotionally. My husband and daughter were killed on Jan 27, 2008 when we were hit head on by a drunk driver. The 3 year anniversary is around the corner. I was depressed and didn't give a flying flip about anything today. So I ate probably around 2000 calories today. I didn't have any soda but today was just bad.

Tomorrow is a new day.

Today is a new day!!! I hope you are feeling better. Gosh I could not even imagine the feeling you still hold from that. No advice here but just lots of for you.

1/12/11 Wednesday QOTD

This snowy weather stinks!
Where is your next vacation planned and what are you looking forward to the most.

Our next vacation is in May to Disney World. We are staying 9 nights at BLT in a one bedroom. The reason for the trip is I'm graduating college with my Bachelors in hospitality management. I'm 9 weeks from being D-O-N-E

Wow you are so close. That is a great accomplishment and one that Im sure you worked so hard for. What a wonderful trip that will be.

Hope I didn't send the clone vibes your way. At least we've got each other.

HEAR ME?

And your funny date story kinda gave me the heebie jeebies! How fitting that your children are in Sunday School together!

1. Yes I was thinking the same thing. We do have each other
2. I hear ya, I hear ya
3. It is awkward that they are in the same class but luckily his wife usually is the one that comes. Although I often want to say to her if you only knew how odd your husband was years ago. His mom also teaches sunday school and has for years even when I was little, she always talks to me about him like he is this wonderful guy and inside my head I am thinking "gag me with a spoon"

As we said, it's another day down, doesn't matter how! 2 down, 88 to go! He did hear that there is some sort of new termination policy that involves a panel of peers reviewing before you can be terminated, which helped his morale, too.

one day at a time. Glad they have a process set up. He should be fine as long as he keeps doing what hes doing. Im praying for you guys.

Mike requested a meeting with his bossess, boss. he felt it was the last resort. His boss just doesnt listen to him and when he asks for guidance she tells him. "I dont know what to tell you". He feels that it is reflecting bad on him and he is just trying to do what she asks or tells him to do. He spoke to her about it many many times and in different ways. Nothing seems to change. So he is having lunch tomorrow with the president and HR. Now he feels bad as if he is back stabbing but its to the point that he needs to look out for himself.

My focus is to get a job and take some classes in Excel.

Excel was never around when I went through school and now recently I have been doing business plans and having to learn it on my own from scratch. It is overwhelming at first but you will get it. Good luck on getting back into the workforce.

QOTD: I can't say I was ever on a weird date. I met my husband when we were 15. We started dating and now, 13 years (10 years of marriage), 3 different states, one dog, and 2 kids later, we still try to "date" as much as possible!

Have a great day everyone!

thats a sweet story.

1/13/11 Thursday QOTD

What was the funniest/wierdest date you ever went on. If you dont have one than give us your best date story.

It was the first "official" date that my wife and I went on. It was to a movie theater that played second run movies and served food and booze. We went to see Sahara with Matthew McConaughey and Penélope Cruz. It's not that we WANTED to see Sahara, it's just that that was the only movie they were showing at the time. In fact, Sahara is not a good movie at all, the theater was not very crowded and we were able to talk to each other and crack jokes through the whole movie.

We ordered a pizza to share. They brought the pizza and asked if we needed anything else. I requested plates, which I thought would be a simple request. We were told that they did not have any plates. That threw us for a loop, but we pressed on. I cut the pizza and the cheese melted back together instantly, as if the knife had never touched it. We decided to use napkins instead of plates (napkins they did have, how kind of them). This super adhesive cheese on our pizza instantly bonded with the molecular structure of the napkin. So, we were treated to some delightful napkin pizza while we watched the sub-par Sahara. But, we had fun because we were together.

I never heard of a movie theater serving food like that. and with no plates. Im glad it made for a good story to tell.

I weighed myself this morning and it looks like almost 5 lbs are gone!

wow great job. Keep up the good work.

Hi all just wanted to make a quick check in so I dont have pages to go through tonight. Its been fun hearing all your dating stories both good and bad. I always find those stories funny...of course they are not as funny in the moment but years later now we can laugh.

Enjoy the rest of your day!

 

[donac]

Yesterday, with all the snow and ice, DH had several employees that couldn't make it to work. He ended up having to run machines, so he got a repreive from his "plan". As we said, it's another day down, doesn't matter how! 2 down, 88 to go! He did hear that there is some sort of new termination policy that involves a panel of peers reviewing before you can be terminated, which helped his morale, too. At this point, I'm all about keeping him strong, motivated, and encouraged, because that's when he's at his best. If he gets defeated, thinking down, he'll go down. I've been singing "FIREWORK" to him.

Today is Sophie's 4th birthday! I'm pretty emotional about it. I've said this before, but Anna Kathryn was born after infertility treatments. We were told no chance of having another without them. 7 years later SURPRISE! From that moment, I was convinced that God had a plan for her. Maybe it was to give Daddy strength, and Mom a reason to get up in the mornings now. Something else I've thought often, and only spoken out loud once, to DH, who told me he felt the same way and to never say it again, is that we won't get to keep her. I've spent 4 years waiting for something horrible to happen. I don't know if it's because of the surprise of her conception, or what. I had toxemia when I was pregnant with her, and had to stay on bp meds after she was born. When she was 6 weeks old,we were home alone, I was taking a long hot bath, she woke up, I jumped up, and the blockers in the meds kept my bp from regulating. As soon as I picked her up, and walked into the br to get a towel, I passed out holding her. When I came to, we were in the floor, she was screaming, and there was a lot of blood. It took a while to realize it was coming from me, and that I had hit my head on the counter going down. I've lived in fear that something from that drop will come back to haunt us someday. She was on my arm, we don't have any way of knowing if there was a trauma to her. I'm hoping to get this maudlin fear gone before she gets up! Sorry to unload!

She planned her day, we're going to do just dance, watch both Ariel movies, play Tiana on wii, and make cupcakes. Going to MIL and FIL for dinner, wish they hadn't invited us today, but oh well. We might go early so I can run on their treadmill before dinner.

TOM is not making this week easy on me, and I am hoping that your biggest loser doesn't turn into your biggest gainer this week!

HAVE A GREAT DAY!! LAST DAY BEFORE WEIGH IN! MAKE IT COUNT!!
Taryn

Have a great day with Sophie's birthday. I have a friend at work who is due anyday now who has gone through the same thing. Her first is almost 6 years old. She went through Invitro and was also told that she she would not have another.

Thanks for the update about your dh. I am glad the two of you are trying to keep positive.


Hi Team Mickey. I miss some of you guys. Jus thought some of you guys who have been with me over the last couple of months. My knee is about 80% better and I am going back to yoga tonight.


good luck tomorrow.

 

[Disneywedding2010]

Thank you all for the kind words.

Today, is a little better from yesterday (watching my calories) but I'm still pretty bummed. My best friend wants to go out to dinner but I'm in that mood of I just really don't want to leave the house. I've spent most of the day lounging in my pjs. I'm probably in the next few minutes going to get up, change clothes, and get on the treadmill, maybe a little work out will get my mind off of everything.

 

[keenercam]

QOTD: We just booked a trip to WDW for August. We are staying at the Wilderness Lodge. Hoping it's not TOM and that I can show off a bit poolside. Yeah, right.

CC – You are going to LOVE the Wilderness Lodge. The entire resort is just gorgeous and the pool is beautiful! My friend got married there and the pictures are just incredible because you’d think they were in the great Northwest somewhere. I can’t wait to hear about your planning.

That is so exciting cam. How is he doing so far. I hope you have some nice family meal nights. Even if not Im sure he will appreciate everything you are doing for him.

Lindsay – Thank you for asking. He has been at my son’s school since the beginning of the year, and the posts on his FB page from his schoolmates are a testament to what a great guy he is. Andrew has met him and is so full of respect for this young man who is mature and dignified and kind and such a hard worker. Howard and I haven’t met him yet. We will meet him Saturday and we are really looking forward to it.

It's been a rough night around here. Nick has brought up some new or new to Chris and I symptoms which have us in worry mode again. Of course the Neurologist hasn't followed up with us so I'm totally stressed out. Ended up calling the neurologist on call and she was no help. She said she'd pass it along to his neurologist and he'll get back to us. Who knows when. It almost feels like last year when Hunter was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Calgone take me away.

Deb – I am thinking of you so much today. How is Nick doing? What did the neurologist say?

I had 2 big accomplishments (for me!) the last 2 days. Yesterday someone brought fresh donuts to work as I was getting off work. Donuts are my nemesis! I LOVE Donuts! I passed them up! There was even one left sitting on the table as I was leaving and I resisted!

Today I had a day-long meeting at work and several people are assigned to bring food. Normally I pig out all day! Today I brought my own morning snack and lunch and didn't touch any of the yummy looking food on the table!

Awesome NSVs (non-scale victories)!!!! What great discipline!! And willpower! (or is that “won’t power”?)

I had (its after midnight) a really rough day yesterday emotionally. My husband and daughter were killed on Jan 27, 2008 when we were hit head on by a drunk driver. The 3 year anniversary is around the corner. I was depressed and didn't give a flying flip about anything today. So I ate probably around 2000 calories today. I didn't have any soda but today was just bad.

Tomorrow is a new day.

Kristina – I just can’t begin to imagine what you are feeling. I wish there were something I could do for you. I can only send you a virtual hug.

That will be so exciting! How long will he be there? Has Andrew decided on a college, yet? What an amazing experience! You'll find a new groove with your new family, and stay OP. I feel it! Hope you get caught up quickly!

Taryn – If all goes as planned, he will be with us until June. It is going to be SUCH a busy 5 months – we have something going on nearly every weekend between now and Mother’s Day. AND Andrew is waiting to hear from colleges and then we may need to try to squeeze in some weekend trips, besides Easter weekend at Univ. of South Carolina if he gets in there (to audition for their drumline). Of course, there is also the spring musical (Andrew will audition), a trip to Massachusetts for my aunt’s 60th birthday party, several charity galas, a band trip, senior retreat, senior Prom, senior week, etc. etc. I am not sure how much our visitor will be involved in any of those activities, but it will be interesting having two high school seniors in the house, at least as far as school commitments. FUN! LOL! I wish the wait for college decision letters were behind us, but we are waiting, waiting, waiting….

Well, I unexpectedly had a hearing this morning so I didn’t get up and go to my WW meeting. I will go on Saturday morning so that I won’t miss a weigh in this week. I was up several pounds the morning after returning from WDW, but I think most of it is gone now. I am doing the Facebook 100 day exercise challenge, so it has really kept me motivated to do my 30 minutes every day in addition to my crunches and push-ups, now that I am back into a routine. I am thinking that walking a mile round-trip to court today with a briefcase in 22 degree weather should count double. What do you think?

I am sorry I haven’t caught up with everyone. It is so great to see everyone posting and especially to welcome so many new WISHers to Team Mickey!

I think I have to go sign up to coach at least one week during this challenge. It keeps me on track and helps me get to know everyone. Yes, my motives are entirely selfish! LOL!

Have a great night everyone. Hoping to leave work soon to go work on cleaning the guestroom closet and dresser out to prepare for our visitor. Perfect excuse to get rid of all those clothes I still have in each of 4-5 sizes larger than what I am wearing now.

ETA: Just realized part of my multi-quote response disappeared. Taryn, Happy Birthday to Sophie!!! And kudos to Brad for his positive attitude - glad he has you to support him and that he is feeling a bit more optimistic.

 

[tigger813]

If you have a Wii and love to dance, you need to have the Just Dance games! I just did 4 dances on Just Dance 2: Wake Me Up Before You Go Go, Monster Mash, Walk Like and Egyptian and a song that I didn't know! It is soooo much fun! I love to dance and don't get to much anymore. There's a Just Sweat mode! On that you do 3 dances everyday! You get to choose them!

I did my EASA2 workout from yesterday this afternoon. I have one to do tomorrow and then I'll have to do one more over the weekend to be all caught up. I'll probably do 2 miles on the elliptical in the morning and one of the BL Power Walk miles!

Just got the kids in bed and got out their Patriots clothes to wear to school tomorrow!

DH and I are watching the Bruins game so I put on my new Bruins t-shirt I got for Christmas.

Gotta pick up a few more things for our company on Sunday. I had better make a list so I don't forget anything! If I don't have a list I forget things!

I made my first Herbalife sale today. I will be putting in the order tomorrow or this weekend. I'm out at home so I really need to put in an order!

to all that need them! I feel bad that I haven't been answering too many of the QOTD and responding to many people! This week should be better since I actually know what I'm doing now! LOL!!!! I'm excited to get all the weigh ins instead of like last week!!!!!

A friend of mine who is going to Disney in August is going to let me help her make her dining reservations when it gets closer! That's going to be fun!

I think I'm done rambling! Bring on the weigh ins and please remember to include TEAM MICKEY in your title!

Night all!

 

[Rose&Mike]

Disneywedding2010--sending you some hugs. I'm glad you are getting some exercise in.

Dona--I am missing you all too! So glad you are able to get back to yoga!

Taryn--I think you asked what core I am doing--basically whatever the evil strength instructor makes us do when I go to strength twice a week. (Can you tell it's my first week back after missing a couple of weeks? Everything is sore!) She loves dynamic stuff and planks and pushups and all kinds of other awful things! Hope Sophie had a good b-day!

Deb--I meant to say something this morning--I hope everything is ok with your DS. I know how stressed you must be. Sending good thoughts your way.

Cam--So is your DS seriously thinking about USC? Did you know my DS goes there. I can actually say the school mascot now without feeling like I've said a potty word!

I had a good day. Got a lot accomplished at work, and ran 4 miles at the Y with Mike. We even got treadmills next to each other! It was really crowded.

Thank you to Lindsay for coaching this week! Welcome to flipflopmom (Taryn) who will be our coach for the next week.

Just a little reminder for tomorrow:

PM your CURRENT WEIGHT along with your TEAM NAME to tigger813.

PM your HH points to cclovesdis. (Total points and points for each activity. Example 12/21 total, water 5/7, exercise 7/7, tracking 0/7.)

If you have any questions, just let us know! Hope everyone sees great things on the scale tomorrow.

 

[Rose&Mike]

Tracey--I'm glad you are feeling better about things this week. Thanks for being our weight keeper!

 

[KristiMc]

Just got the kids in bed and got out their Patriots clothes to wear to school tomorrow!

I just got my kids to bed and got out their Steelers jerseys to wear to school tomorrow.

 

[tigger813]

I just got my kids to bed and got out their Steelers jerseys to wear to school tomorrow.

I grew up in NC as a Steelers fan! Oh the days of Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris, Mean Joe Green, etc! Good luck to the Steelers on Sunday! But if we meet in the future, GO PATRIOTS!!!!!

 

[BELLE1109]

I wish I could wear my Patriots shirt tomorrow

1/12/11 Wednesday QOTD

This snowy weather stinks!
Where is your next vacation planned and what are you looking forward to the most.

We are planning a week at Disney in December with my daughters and their boyfriends. My mother & aunt are invited for 4 days as well. I love planning Disney vacations. We hope to take a bunch of mini camping week-ends this summer as well. We have started planning those as well.

1/13/11 Thursday QOTD

What was the funniest/wierdest date you ever went on.

When I was a junior in high school, I was very close friends with a senior guy. We both volunteered helping the elementary school kids with their gym period (which was our study hall hour). We talked about EVERYTHING!

And then ... he asked me on a date to go see Star Wars. We live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. For those of you not familiar with the area, much of the area is wilderness. It was 1/2 to 3/4 hour to the nearest movie theatre. It was the most uncomfortable drive of my life.

On the way up, we barely talked. When we got to the theatre, we missed getting in by like 6 people. Others were going to go bowling and come back to the next show. I told him my parents would never go for that (as soon as we got home, they asked why we didn't call!). We got in the car to drive back home. I sat as close to the door as I could with my hand on the handle. I kept repeating over & over in my head "If he reaches for me, I'm going to jump."

We ended up going to see Star Wars a couple of weeks later. We dated for several months.

 

[jenjolt]

Good Evening Team Mickey!! Just walked into the house, boy was it a long day today!!! I have after school tutoring on Thursday so I usually don't get home until after 7pm and tonight we had to pick up our car and run errands!!!

Kept up with my workouts this week!! Feeling great about that!!!! Need to find a way to eat all my points...with fruits and veggies 0 sometimes I find it hard to eat all my points!!! Water Best part of the week, made it through our Biology meeting without tasting the donuts or endulging in the pizza...SCORE FOR ME!!!

I really enjoy just coming here in the evenings and just reading through your posts!!

Can't wait to see what the scale says in the morning! Hoping for another loss this week!!!!

NEXT VACATION: In 12 short days I will be back at my Happy Place with my BFF WOOT WOOT!!

 

[KristiMc]

I grew up in NC as a Steelers fan! Oh the days of Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris, Mean Joe Green, etc! Good luck to the Steelers on Sunday! But if we meet in the future, GO PATRIOTS!!!!!

Good luck to you too!

 

[Disney Yooper]

Anyhow, I had a super yummy breakfast this morning and wanted to share. I recently signed up for Hungry Girl newsletters and discovered her Egg Mug! They are so easy and so good. I made DH & I one this morning. I just use whatever veggies I have on hand. So this morning it was: Green pepper, baby Portabella mushrooms, spinach and green onion with Boar's Head ham (I only eat Boar's Head lunch meat now - it's delicious, no fillers, nitrates, other junk and the lowest WW point lunch meat I have found) and just a little Reduced Fat shredded cheddar with Egg Beaters. It was wonderful and only 3 WW points plus! It beats a bowl of Special K and milk both in points, taste and satisfaction. With only a little more effort.

Thank you so much for sharing. These recipes look wonderful. I need something easy to make for breakfast. That is one of the best things I can do to lose weight - eat breakfast. I'm lazy first thing in the morning so need something easy.

 

[my3princes]

Thanks for all the support. I did talk to his neurologist today, in person. He showed me the MRI and we talked about the extra vein in relation to other veins in his brain. The other larger veins are similar in size to the extra and the extra isn't causing any trouble. Both the neurologist and the neurosurgeon are in agreement that he can continue normal activities including snowboarding and lacrosse with no restrictions. The symptoms that he is experiencing are not related to the brain discovery. His symptoms are not life threatening and will probably continue for a while and most likely will disappear at some point. It could be somthing that he's eating an additive in somthing, it could be that he has grown so fast the vessels in his neck haven't caught up, it could be migranes manifesting in an abnormal way. For now it is watch and see and possibly journal. Overall I feel reassured though I wish I could make the symptoms go away.
