YAY!!
My little sister who has OCD (its not that bad though) is here for 2 nights, my dad and stepmum think I won't be able to handle her, all she needs is someone to take an interest in her, encourage her, and also set some boundaries!!

LOL Tamara
Well I am not so sure. I know she likes to wash her hands but not all the time, she just washes them really well. She likes to have her appearance real neat, she has this ritual with her pillows on her bed at night. I think she gets my stepmum to do her makeup and wash her hair, so she is going to have to get over that one while she is here.

Hello Ladies,
I thought I'd pop in, although I've had a looong day at work & am barely coherent at this point. Yeah, I'm spoiled, but I really do not like 12 hour days!
Nicole (CA), phooey on sore knees. They're no fun at all. I'm glad to hear you're feeling better, though.
Nicole (AU), good to see you! How is your sister doing? Is she getting any help with her OCD?
Tamara, I know you don't want to be mean to your friend, but she's obviously the sort of person who will just suck up your time, and you won't really be doing anything constructive for her, just helping her to avoid her work, KWIM? Since she doesn't take hints, and she doesn't think you're entitled to spend your time in the want you want/need to, because then she won't have anyone to amuse her, it's probably going to be necessary to be very firm, unfortunately. It doesn't sound as if she's going away on her own any time soon.
((Roberta)) - I'm glad you were able to get this out in the open, so that you can start to get the help and support you'll need to deal with it.
That was a very, very brave post. It must have been extremely difficult for you to write and post that.
Well, I'm off to sleep quite soon, so I shall say good night.

Hi, ladies.
Just a quick HI while the girls have their Arabic class. Then I have a bunch of grading to do.
Have a nice day, ladies.

Well yesterday was beautiful and nice outside and my back was hurting a little bit but we finally got to ride some trails, my first mt trial, and I had alot fun we did the easier going trails and got into one the hard ones, we ended up riding 6-7miles and it was nice. Chan got going way head of me when coming down and he jumped this log and then next time he tried to jump it he ended up wrecking but he was okay, I didnt see it happen only heard it and by time I turned around he was sitting up. We may go thursday and try few other trails there, its nice because they are only 20mins from where I live. Im suprised though... Im not really that sore lol but my back is killing me... I also think I must have slept weird which helped add to yesterdays pain so now ugh..hurts

Good morning ladies!
Those of you who read the prayer thread probably read that my boss' brother died yesterday. I have to do a retraction (I'll probably just delete the post). He hasn't passed on, but the drs. say that he will die any minute now. The lady who told me, got the facts confused. The brother's name is Mark and he's not saved. He's in his late 40s and had a massive heart attack last Saturday while playing golf. He has shown no imrovement while in the hospital and has been pretty much in a coma. Yesterday he took a turn for the worse and now they are just trying to decide when to remove the life support.
Meanwhile, I've made a new friend. Her name is Roxy and she's about three years old. She has shiny, curly jet-black hair, average size, enjoys long walks and listens to me talk non-stop while she licks my toes. I'm not sure what she is except that she is of the canine variety and very friendly. I have her until my boss gets back. I am going to miss her when they come to pick her up.

When I was last hospitalized for my bipolar, there was a woman that had to drink water all the time. She had to drink about a 4 oz glass of water every 10-15 minutes. It was so bad that her medications would get diluted and she would be so full that she'd get sick and couldn't keep anything down. Even at night, she was constantly getting a glass of water.

Hi ladies...been a really busy week. Sorry I haven't been around much but I did want to say hello. Hope everyone is doing well. I'm a little stressed today...but I just keep reminding myself that it's nothing God can't handle!

Well my sister is doing good so far, she is listening to everything I say, got her peeling vegies for tea (had to show her how to do it, 14 yrs old and had no idea  ). Taking her out for lunch with my friends teenage daughter (who would be my friend too I guess), she is a lovely girl, got her head on tight for a 16 yr old. So hopefully she can have some good positive influence over my sister. She wanted the light on last night, I said we don't put the light on coz Grace will wake up, so could she just deal with the light from the stereo, she said it was fine and she slept well.
I really don't know what to tell my dad and stepmum, all she needs is some love and encouragement and boundaries. If you expect little of someone that is what they will give you.

I was reading all these posts that said "good morning" - and I almost responded with "good morning" even though it's after 7:00 p.m. here and I'm eating my dinner.

I am sorry so sorry. Wow- thats' my husband's age.
Nicole (AU) - I'm sorry I asked about your sister's condition after you already answered -- the only thing I can think is that we cross-posted, or that I was suffering from early morning ditziness. I'm glad you have her with you, at least temporarily. Setting boundaries when you're dealing with OCD can be a tricky thing, and I can only imagine how much more complex the balance must be when dealing with an OCD-afflicted teenager, who would need firm boundaries anyway. I'm still trying to figure how to do this with an adult -- so I don't know that I'm the best source of advice, though I somehow think I ought to know what I'm doing when it comes to OCD after all this time. I'd echo what Tamara said, though -- a person with OCD will not necessarily be able always to stop doing a particular ritual when instructed to do so. But if your sister is responding to the way you run your house, that's great. It may be that she finds the structure and order of your home reassuring. People with OCD tend to like to structure and predictability. So, that's a good thing. 
I hope that the ladies who were stressed out/in pain are feeling better!
After a super-stressful day at work, I had a nice trip to the dentist's and had four lovely fillings taken out and replaced by four fillings that are even lovelier. It really seemed as if that dentist was using a sandblaster in my mouth. And he gave the ouchiest novacaine injections I've ever had. And I have to go back next month and have the same thing done in two additional teeth. Yay!
Well, have a good evening, ladies.

I am so glad you are having a good time with your sister! It does sound like she just needs love and encouragement. I hope you can find a way to explain that to your dad and stepmum so that they can understand. How close do you live to your sister? '

And then because I walk weird on that side my hip starts hurting really badly too. 
I've never known someone with OCD that needed a prescription. That would be such a huge burden.
