TMI Tuesday
This meme is as described: TMI. Read/play at your own peril.
1. Are you a member of the mile high club? ~Ummm no~
2. What is the most public place you have ever had sex? ~*blush* In the Ocean in broad daylight!~
3. What is your most embarrassing family moment? Just before I left Cali, my brother, his girlfriend, and I went to Seaport Village to eat Carne Asada Burritos. There was a excursion tour boat coming by and the guide announced, "and to your right.." and my brother turned around, pulled down his pants, bent over, and yelled, "you'll see a moon next to a bench!" I wanted to die. His girlfriend must have known he was going to do this because she was hiding behind the bench that I was sitting on. Never again. I think he KNOWS I will kill him if he ever does this to me again. He is tolerable to go into public with, now that he's older.
4. What kind of birth control do you use? ~Umm Abstinance?~
5. Have you ever had sex in the snow? Rain? No
I figured I could do this meme because I'm rather boring and had "No" for more than one answer.
Bonus (as in optional):Describe your flirting technique: innuendo, telling a dirty joke, talking about sex life, or physical contact? Umm, I'm a flirt? I'm not a flirt. *giggle*

Screen Names
I received an email from the group Bloggers Anonymous, from Snowbea, asking about screen names..
Since not all of my Multiply Associates have known me very long, I thought I'd pipe my answer here..
My screen-name/niche has evolved.
When I first joined YIM, I used a variation of my real name as an ID. (It sounded like a good idea, at the time!)
Interestingly, also, at the time, I also had a land-line telephone. The main reason that I don't have a land-line telephone now has a lot to do with my evolution, as well.
One day, I received a delivery of long-stemmed red roses, a stuffed animal, a mylar "I love you" balloon, and a box of chocolate truffles. Ironically, the sender had no idea that I thought truffles were Gold. The stuffed animal was also a frog, and the sender not only didn't know how personal that was, to me, but didn't choose the type of stuffed animal, either, it turned out.
I really didn't think much of the gift, other than being surprised.. until the next delivery arrived, about a week, or so, later.
It was an internet company printed check, from what turned out to be a car dealership in the midwestern United States. It was for an amazing amount of money. It was legit, as far as it appeared, and IT HAD MY NAME ON IT!
Quickly, two of my chat friends turned into raging lunatics. Both were claiming that the check was theirs. They had somewhat legit stories and explanations.. but that all quickly deteriorated to pure crap!
I know, for sure, who sent the flowers and gifts. I have no idea who sent the check, or who had the check sent. I had made it perfectly clear, all along, with everyone, that "Heidi don' t play that receive my check, cash it, and western union it to you" game.
I was rather angry to find out that this check was not a mistake.. but an intentional trap.
Both of my "friends" in Nigeria, were "American's on Contract with the Nigerian Government."
When I dropped my Yahoo ID, one of them called me. He didn't speak very much English, at all. (I had confronted both about the check and asked them to identify the sender, because they were both claiming it to be their own money. Neither could ID the sender and both were full of crap excuses!)
Sadly, I don't know, nor really care if they both knew each other. Anything is possible. I had been suspicious of one of these men because his photos were too perfect.. model type perfect. I guess they figured I was born "last night" and "in the dark".
I contacted one of my Egyptian online friends and asked several questions, looking for an ID that was in Arabic. I used that ID for YIM. My only real dilemma came when I decided to blog.
I spent weeks trying to think of an ID to use that would be unique and yet keep me incognito. A while back, before this time, I had used a Nick, on IRC that was MsTess. How that came about what a brain lapse.
My mother had sent me a greeting card about a Tussie-Mussie. A Tussie-Mussie is a bouquet of flowers with specific meaning tied to the plants/flowers used to make it. Its an ideal type of screen-name because each of us is made up of "our own" combination.
I hadn't remembered the name correctly, and chose the Nick "Tessie," though. This evolved to MsTess and sometimes just Tess. Without knowing it, however, I had named myself the name of a sister of a good friend of mine. That made Tess even more personal and special, to me.
In one of my thought sessions, about my Y! Blog, I was really bothered that I couldn't figure out a name to use, that was unique to me, yet kept me hidden from the public, too. Tess came to mind. I created a last name for Tess, in what I like to refer to as "true J.K. Rowling Fashion." I chose "London."
So Tess London was born.
I could have a pen-name.. a pseudonym.. a nom de plume!
You will still see some of my ID's and screen-names reference Tess, in many different ways.
One day, it hit me. In the business world, its good practice to have your business name appear as "first" on a list as possible.. this is why you see "A" or numbers added to the beginning of names.. the phone book is listed alphabetically. I need a tow truck, the list starts with "A"...
APlaceForTess was born!
After two years of blogging, Tess ran into a need to go into hiding. Sadly, it was just necessary for my sanity and well-being. A true blogger can not just quit blogging, though. It really doesn't work like that. It was my first thought to leave the Y! I had stood up to looney's in Y!Land before.. The crazies are everywhere, right? Well.. my biggest problem was that my "crazy" was linked to someone I really liked and respected in 360.
That respect was enough to have me rethink my screen name. I buried the Y!360 Tess. Tess will always be a part of me. I still use a variation of Tess on eBay and Imeem. I think she will never die while I am still breathing. I'll let you know if she ever receives snail mail. LOL
Now, here I was.. back to square one... what to use as a blog ID. Kenny Chesney helped me with that. *wink*
In the song "I go back," he sings, "a taste of the salt on the Carolina shore."
I am a Cali Girl. I've always been a Cali Girl. But this Cali Girl was in Carolina... I am a transplant.. the wheels started to tumble..
I have a thing for using "z" to pluralize words. My family history niche name is FamilyHugz! With that in mind, I twisted Carolina into CarolinaDreamz.
I quickly set out to niche market my new name. I changed many of my ID's. I created new social networking groups. About this time, Y!Mash came on the scene. My "name" there is "Heidi, the Blogger formerly known as Tess." It works for me.
I registered the dot-com domain. I created my google ID. I set up email. I opened an account of Etsy, Facebook, MyBlogLog, My Yearbook (which I hate), Skype, and Del.icio.us! 99% of the CarolinaDreamz you find out there, in 'netland is ME.
I do have an alterior motive. I am an entrepreneur. My niche building and link dropping is part of a grander plan that hasn't been established yet.
there is more to come..

Thursday, I think!
Happy Birthday Richard!
Its been a rough week, adjusting to home life, while still not well. How do I feel? I feel like there is a cut in the side of my gut! *smile*
My pain medicine runs out by 2am. I've been religious about writing down my dosages, to make sure I don't screw this up. The medicine that was not lasting four hours, in the hospital, was moved to six hour doses, when I came home. UGH
I only took one pill, at each of my last two dosage times and ouch is too small of a word to describe how that worked out. I'm waiting to hear back, from an alternate surgeon to see what they can do for me.. my surgeon is out of town and the other surgeon is in surgery.. figures! I hate the idea of paying a co-pay for one or two doses, too, though. UGH squared.
I've been trying to sort some numbers to file my taxes, as the state extension is shorter than the federal extension, but you have to do the federal paperwork before the state, so that makes a whole lot of sense, eh?
I haven't turned in transcripts for last school year and still need to order some curriculum for this year, too. UGH cubed
Sorry for the update delay.. I'm just exhausted.
I'm amazed that my gall bladder ultrasounds, over the last four years, have hidden the truth, or flat out lied? I know that there will be a change to the way my surgeon, as well as those he knows, looks to diagnose, now.. who would have known?
I also wonder how much the five days of hospital, surgery, nuclear medicine testing, ultrasounds, and two emergency room visits are going to cost? I had to pay $100 co-pay for the first ER visit.. oh yeah.. there is an ambulance ride too, to pay for.. oh boy! how fun! I can't wait?? LOL
No amount of money could help me not have a daily headache, though. That is the first major difference, that I've noticed since I woke up from surgery.
They say that my over all health, over the last four years, can be directly related to this "toxic" and "poisonous" growing gall bladder. I'm amazed at their "for years" words the most. Who would know that something, so direct, could cause such health hells for years??
I'm hopeful to less "I don't feel well for no real reason" in my future. I wonder if I should write a letter to my primary care physician, that quit, last year, feeling he couldn't help me. I'm sure he just thought, after so many years, that I was making up how rotten I felt. Maybe just a nice note, from me, that says "guess what? this is why, have a great life"?? I just may be able to get a new doctor now, too??
I also wonder.. if this is all the reason's for the passing out episodes I've been plagued with, over the last few months?
Things that make you go hmmmm..
Thanks, again, for all the e-cards and well wishes. You all are so wonderful... *smile*
OH, btw, a normal gall bladder is 2-2.5 inches (5.1-6.4cm). Mine was 10 inches (25.4cm). I don't know how ultrasound works. I was told it was "elongated" or "enlarged", but the surgeon was shocked and says he's never seen one so large, so I wonder why something four times larger than normal didn't show grossly over-sized in ultrasound?

mobile broadband to blog.. come in, blogger..
I had a ton of inabilities to post this, from my own laptop, mobile, this morning, so I'm posting now. I am post-op and will update that soon.
Thank you to all the kind well wishes I've been receiving. For some reason, Firefox isn't liking Y!360, and I can see comments, but can not post there, at all. Hopefully, by now, everyone knows how to see me over here, so I'll just update the hospital vacation, here.
1. I'm so comfortable! For the last four and a half hours, I've been "hooked up" to these compression boots. They are plugged into an air line, and they vibrate and compress up to my thigh, alternating legs. I know why I need them, medically, but aside from that need, I feel like I'm having a great regular leg massage!
2. Morphine is my best friend, today. The Delauded, from the ER, seemed to come on stronger, but didn't last as long. Once my poor arms recover from the burn/shock of the pain medication injection, its a leveled pain control.
3. A hiccup feels like a punch in the stomach. I hope to not sneeze for a week, or more.
4. I think my arms or skin, in general, is in hyper sensitive mode. My arms look like a war zone, and I hope to keep my current IV for anesthesia, but I think I heard its too small. Ouch.
5. Nuclear test results showed no activity of the gall bladder. It is dead, enlarged, and yucky! *giggle at yucky*
6. Broth tastes really good when you have had no food or drink, by mouth, for 14 hours.
7. My new surgeon has wonderful bedside manner.
8. The procedure is called Open Cholecystectomy. I am unable to have the laparoscopic procedure because my major incision, from my gastric bypass (my gastric bypass is officially titled, Vertically Transected, Silastic Ring banded, Roux en Y Gastric Bypass with a Gastrostomy and a gastrostomy site marker" (TSRBVGB), meaning my stomach was completely transected, a ring/band was placed around my new pouch, that acts solely as a food reservoir, and my intestines were re-routed into a Y shape, to connect both the old stomach and the new pouch to my intestines, allowing for a large percentage of nutrient absorption to be bypassed or avoided *forced malabsorption*) sits where the camera needs to be for this type of procedure. There is too much scar tissue that makes this a difficult procedure and the complications that are possible, are not worth the risk.
9. I will have a new 6-7 inch diagonal scar, on the upper right side of my abdomen. Can we say "battlefield"? *wink*
10. I'm going to rest again, now that the pain medicine is working. Wish you were here! *smile* Catch you again, after recovery..
Surgery update coming soon!

A Few Minutes Break of Recovery
I just pushed the morphine drip button, so I may have just a few minutes to leave a small update here.
I've been having internet problems and unable to post to blog. While its currently working, I wanted to briefly check in.
The surgery went well.
The surgeon is shocked at the toxic hell he found to remove.
He said it was 10 inches long. I'll look up what a normal one should be, soon, unless one of you knows and leaves it in comment. The surgeon said its the largest he's ever seen.
I've had three ultrasounds of it, over the last few years, for many different reasons. The surgeon even said, when he saw the ultrasound that it appeared large, but normal and he couldn't remove it unless the nuclear test proved it bad, which it did.
It has been sent to pathology. He said he feels its been in its state of hell, growing, etc, for YEARS.
When I talked to my mother, a little while ago, I reali zed my head didn't hurt.
Any of you that really know me, know I'm plagued with headaches and migraines. My head hurt, last night, after I started the morphine and was real bad just before surgery.
It will be extremely fascinating to see what other illness, ill-effects, etc, that I have been living with, including shoulder pain and back pain change as I recover more...
more later..

we interrupt this blog for gallbladder surgery..
I'm typing this from a hospital bed.
I called 9-1-1 last night in excruciating pain.
I had an ultrasound that showed no stones but the gall bladder is elongated or swollen.
I was released from the emergency room, at midnight, with instructions to return if the pain was worse or if I developed a fever of over 100 degrees.
I was still in a lot of pain. Breathing and walking were difficult and I was not comfortable to be going home. I was supposed to follow-up with a surgeon in the morning.
Two hours after I got home, I had that 100+ degree fever. By 4am, I woke up shaking and freezing, with a temperature of 103.4!
Back to the emergency room.. agonizing trip!
They admitted me for observation.
The surgeon finally arrived when I was trying to post this blog entry. He made me feel hopeful that we'd be having surgery tomorrow morning. Then he went to see the ultrasound and came back and said that it was enlarged, but in general, looked fine!
He ordered a nuclear test that could prove my gall bladder is broken. I have to go without pain medicine as that interrupts with the test. So, I'm hoping we do it soon, now, before I go back to being unable to breathe in pain, again.
He scheduled the surgery for tomorrow morning because its easier to cancel it than it is to try to schedule it late.
I just want them to find out what is wrong, because something is clearly wrong.
I'll check back in when I come up for air or have more information. If I have surgery in the morning, he says that I'll be here for five days.
Be good! *hugz* ~Heidi

More about Heidi..
I found this on Kristi's page.. OOPS Get yours here!
About me:
There are 21 letters in your name.
Those 21 letters total to 108
There are 10 vowels and 11 consonants in your name.
What your first name means:
Your number is: 9
The characteristics of #9 are: Humanitarian, giving nature, selflessness, obligations, creative expression.
The expression or destiny for #9:
The expression that you exhibit is represented by the number 9. Your talents center in humanistic interests and approaches. You like to help others as you were intended to be the 'big brother or big sister' type. You operate best when you follow your feelings and sense of compassion, and allow yourself to be sensitive to the needs of others. You work well with people, and have the potential to inspire. This suggests that you could successfully teach or counsel. Creative ability, imagination and artistic talent (often latent) of the highest order are present in this expression. It's possible that you're not using or developing all of these capabilities at this time. Some of your talents may have been used at an earlier time in your life, and some may still be latent. Be aware of your capabilities, so that you can make use of them at appropriate times.
If you are able to achieve the potential of your natural expression in this life, you are capable of much human understanding and have a lot to give to others. Your personal ambitions are likely to be maintained in a very positive perspective, never losing sight of an interest in people, and a sympathetic, tolerant, broad-minded and compassionate point of view. You are quite idealistic, and disappointed at the lack of perfection in the world. You have a strong awareness of your own feeling as well as those of others. Friendships, affection, and love are extremely important.
Undeveloped or ignored, the negative side of the 9 expression can be very selfish and self-centered. If you do not actively involve yourself with work that benefits others, you may tend to express just the opposite characteristics. It is your role to be very involved with other people and their needs, but it may be difficult for you achieve this role. Aloofness, lack of involvement, and a lack of sensitivity mark the low road of this expression.
Your Soul Urge number is: 3
A Soul Urge number of 3 means:
With the Soul Urge number 3 your desire in life is personal expression, and generally enjoying life to its fullest. You want to participate in an active social life and enjoy a large circle of friends. You want to be in the limelight, expressing your artistic or intellectual talents. Word skills may be your thing; speaking, writing, acting, singing. In a positive sense, the 3 energy is friendly, outgoing and always very social.
You have a decidedly upbeat attitude that is rarely discouraged; a good mental and emotional balance.
The 3 Soul Urge gives intuitive insight, thus, very high creative and inspirational tendencies. The truly outstanding trait shown by the 3 Soul Urge is that of self-expression, regardless of the field of endeavor.
On the negative side, you may at times become too easygoing and too optimistic, tending to scatter forces and accomplish very little. Often, the excessive 3 energy produces non-stop talkers. Everyone has faults, but the 3 soul urge doesn't appreciate having these pointed out.
Your Inner Dream number is: 6
An Inner Dream number of 6 means:
You dream of guiding and fostering the perfect family in the perfect home. You crave the devotion from offspring and a loving spouse. You picture yourself in the center of a successful domestic unit.

| French | Female | Variant of Adelaide: Nobility. French form of the Old German Adalheidis, a compound of 'athal' (noble) and 'haida' (hood). Adelaide, the capital of South Australia, was named after Queen Adelaide, 19th century King William IV's consort. |

On average, what size tip do you leave at a restaurant?
A. I believe in over-tipping when its deserved, and in requesting the same wait-staff when I return. This usually comes back to benefit us, in return. We don't wait in lines to "pay", we just pass it along with the usual, "thank you", and we are taken well care of, this way. I used to pay a percentage, of minimum 20%, now we consider more in our tips. I've learned a lot, listening to waitresses talk, one time. They don't care the cost of your bill. They care that they are "thanked" for what they've done for you. So, you could go sit for coffee, with a friend, and they'd work hard to refill you and ask you if you need things, and yet your bill would be low. So, I consider time, when I'm having business "meetings" too (how much did I cost them to tie up this booth that group that fit it would pay?). A general thumb, for us, in smaller establishments, since we don't eat out much anymore, is to leave a similar tip, no matter what the bill. $5 speaks for a quick lunch, whether there are 2 or 3 of us. I firmly believe that those who require a minimum tip of 20% for parties of 8 or more and add it to the bill before I see it, would get more if they didn't do that to me! I never leave less than 20%, and leaving a penny on top of your tip, is a compliment. If your service is very poor, 10% is the amount of your bill that the help-staff must claim as a tip, to their employer, whether you leave it or not. I would never not leave 10% because that amount is their pay, and the industry is really underpaying them (are you aware of their hourly rates? I was shocked to find out!) and everyone has a bad day. (and again, those who work in customer service that hate people, should stay home! LOL)
Q. What food could you eat every day for two weeks and not get sick off of?
A. Salad or Seafood

Q. What would you do if you woke up one morning and found out you were out of cocaine?
A: I've always been out? Did this question make you wonder who wrote this? LOL
