Hey Fog, something tells me your gonna have your own clothesline lol... they get a slight damp feeling and I throw them in the dryer on low... I have an HE (high Efficiency) dryer but I prefer my bedding stuff outside. Besides dont ya think -20c is gonna kill those sucker dust mites? LOL. But at night when you go to bed, you are warm but smells like you are sleeping outside, and I use Gain, and fabric softner...

In the meantime I was multitasking and burnt my speggetti sauce a little, I had the crock pot on high.. stupid :voodoo: and forgot oil in the sauce to stop that. I was gonna make Lasagna with it but may wait and do another batch for that.

Everyone supper my house, spaghetti, and fresh sheets! Have lots of TP,,, oh but BYOM (bring your own meds) :ylol2:.
 
LOL! Im so putting a line up in the summer, have wanted to since I moved in.

MMMM Spagheti! Im on my way! :)

ok Im done hijacking this thread!! :p
 
Besides Fog, when you hang them on the line and they freeze it helps take out those nasty stains from having Crohns. lol
Plus it helps whiten them.
 
I'm proud of myself for not smacking the crap out of my oldest son's wife for being a nasty little bit....

Wow Merry, that is a great thing to do! Most women love flowers and it keeps your mood up and glad another week passes. Are you finding it a bit easier now? I found once I got into the 3rd week I couldnt stand the smell of them because you can taste, smell the food, odors so much more stronger.

Congrats you can do it!!!:)
 
the first week was tough, but its getting easier. am using the gum to help with the cravings.
 
I'm proud of myself because I have been just so exhausted today, and I still got up and went to the gym and rode the bike for 10 miles and worked with the weights for another 45 mins. It sucked at first, then it got better.
 
I'm proud of myself for going to work today, even though I really felt like staying in bed. I still wasn't feeling well at all, so this was an accomplishment.
 
Yay for pushing throuhg it! Mine isn't so big but I am proud that I just cleaned the bathroom and put some washing on - sometimes it's the little things eh?

I'm proud of myself for finding this site and joining. I'm not one to ever seek out help or support, but as a college friend recently told me... "This is something you are not going to be able to do alone."
 
Glad to see you here Kayaker... I used to be be a canoing instructor, and I found it to be peaceful.. and being with people who know what I am going through has peace of mind too. Support, no matter where you can get it is needed. Glad you seeked us out!

So true! I hope you find this forum as useful and supportive as I have.

I am proud of myself today for cheering up a friend that was depressed--I put a flower on her desk and never told her who it was from. I don't plan on it either.

i am proud of myself because i didnt kill my demented cat when he climb up my new net curtains!!!
the curtains were my reward for quitting smoking.
 
Hang in there Merry (pardon the pun) but dont you dare go back to smoking! Get rid of the cat first... I am kidding, I have a black and white cat but he is 7 years old and getting fat. Too cold to go outside. Black and white cats are supposed to be the most intelligent of any other cat... what happened to yours lol. I have my cat declawed, and he can still climb trees and get mice!

I am proud of myself today because I went out to the Garage (part of my barn) and cleaned up a couple of bags of garbage my GF threw in there while I was in the hospital. They were all riped up from red squirrels or some other pesky rodent but I never swore. Not even ONCE!

I'm proud of myself for getting on the treadmill today. I know...doesn't sound like much - but I have been putting off MOVING for a while now. MUST......KEEP.....MOVING!
 
I am proud of my self went to see Avatar and didnt go to the bathroom once in the 3 hours....btw amazing movie if you can get to see it!! 3D is awesome.
 
I am proud of myself because I shoveled way to much snow today, but I got it done. I had to do my house, my neighbor's house, and my grandparents house. Needless to say my back is KILLING me!
 
I'm proud of myself because I did the grandpa thing all day and never once got on-line while they were here. Those 2 little girls are so much fun.

Wow! That is great that you didn't go during the whole movie. I went to see a movie today too (Sherlock Holmes--it was awesome) but I will have to see Avatar now. :)

Sorry I didn't see your comment earlier. Thanks! If anything, I'm being selfish b/c I notice I'm less stressed and in general feel better when I'm taking care of other people. I like to brighten their day and if I'm successful it makes me smile.

By the way, I think it is great that you are quitting smoking. Keep it up and hopefully the cravings will pass you soon. It really is a huge accomplishment for your health and also one less expense. :)

I saw Sherlock too, it was really good! You can't comepare the two movies totally different types. My husband and I saw Sherlock, whilst my mom and daughter saw Avatar. My daughter was crazy about graphics and stuff. Then I was surprised my husband wanted to see Avatar because we are both not into Sci-fi's. Very cool to see 3D, it was my first time. Amazing, and Clash of the Titan's comes in 3 D you can bet I will see it. Check it out :) .

I was proud of myself I didnt go, didnt mean I wasnt holding it .:ylol2:
 
I feel good about myself today because I went to a winter fair yesterday and had a fantastic time with my GF. We drove 2 hours each way and spent three hours at the event our dogs were entered in. Not only did i go but I was the official time keeper in the shoot for the weight pulls! All day with no gut issues and no feeling yucky! I sure was tired and sore when we got home but now I know I am good to go. I am as back to normal as I am ever going to be!
 
I'm proud of myself because even though it took everything i had, i crawled out of bed to go see my Neice and Nephew. I'm sure i'll have a great time, but right now, i just want to go back to sleep!
 
I'm proud of myself today because I made it another day without taking my Xanax!!! If I'm feeling good when I wake up tomorrow I'm gonna try for 2 days in a row :) I'm figuring if it gets too bad, I have an appointment with my counselor at 5 and maybe she can help me get past it without the Xanax!
 
I'm proud of myself today cos I got my sorry arse out of bed and put my lippy on and walked to the post office to post a letter!
came back, changed the bed sheets, vacuumed my stinkin bedroom and polished the furniture, it was beginning to stink of a depressed person with crohns feeling like ****!
I'm also proud of myself cos I went for a family meal on Saturday (first time out since being in hosp) and ate everything on the menu, kept it in, no pain, no D, no gas, no bloating, yippee !!
 
I'm proud of myself and ALL you guys who are the only ones who TRULY know what this disease does to you...for our coping!
I'm proud of myself for going to school most days - even those ones where I would rather snuggle back under the covers and put my pillow against my sore belly...

I truly am in awe when people can work and be so ill. I wouldnt want to be in that predictament. Good for you tho!
 
I am so proud of myself because... even though I felt slightly nauseated, I still made homemade Lasagna for my daughters' 22nd bd on Saturday. Then I went out into the cold and sunny day and walked the trail for 1mile. Still have a slight headache, wonder if it is from that CT scan lightly chalked barium? Never felt that way before after any test.
 
I'm proud of myself today because I went to uni for the first time after three days of moping around the flat from splitting up with my boyfriend. I rly didnt want to go out the flat and face the world but I did! I feel a lot better now, still rly sad but at least I feel a bit more normal.

Oh Holly, I'm really sorry to hear that! :( Hope you are feeling better and can get back into enjoying your studies!
 
You have struggled with this guy here and there huh Valentine? So sorry but I know you are so sweet and you will find someone better for you in the future, trust me I know. Word of caution dont look for bad boys, they usually stay that way...usually. Good luck and stay strong, your half way there!
 
Sorry to hear about the breakup Holly. :( **HUGS**

I'm proud of myself because i went out two days in a row, even though i didn't really want to either time.

We were fine until we both went to uni. Long distance is too hard when u dnt have enough cash and we are both so young and changing.

............. because i went slegding with my son and we never broke any bones!!! i havent been slegdeing in 25years. ohh i loved it, much too my sons embaressement!!!
 
Good Job Erazer - keep us posted on how it goes for you!

Yay for you carrie :) Will the course take long?

I'm proud of myself today because I got out of bed, that's quite an achievement so far!
 
I'm proud of myself today because I went back to bed!

Ok, sounds lame doesn't it?

But I have been mustering through, feeling exhausted and worn down, and today I thought you know what, I need to sleep, damn the housework, paperwork, any other stuff that needs doing...

I slept for three hours solid from the moment my head hit the pillow, I needed it and I'm glad I gave it to myself!
 
I'm proud of myself because i also dragged my butt out of bed, and actually did something around the house.
 
I'm proud of myself because I just handled a confrontational situation very well. I popped into a local health shop to ask about melatonin as a sleeping aid. Apparently you have to have it prescribed. Anyway I was chatting with the man in the shop, who is an iridilogist, said that I had been having really bad fatigue issues and had just had blood tests for all the adrenal hormones. He had a quick look in my eyes, told me it wasn't an adrenal issue but wasn't willing to share what he thought it was because I was 'Obviously a doctor person' and he couldn't help me while my mind was made up about getting medical treatment. I explained that i was open to all options/ideas and treatments and asked what he thought may be wrong with me and he said I'd be wasting his time, but he KNEW what was wrong.
I was really angry at his attitude but remained calm and just said that I felt he was being very rude and I couldn't understand why. He mentioned the doctor thing again but that he could tell me what was going on but I'd have to pay for a consultation but it would be pointless as I woulnd't listen so we couldn't work together. So I calmly walked out and THEN had a cry. It was really weird and awful - certainly not a way to do business!
 
What a wierdo!!! Steer well clear.. Did he want you to beg him to pay for his services?

You are well clear of it..
 
Poor Shaz you are running into bad luck lately. Here you can get melatonin here in a pharmacy, in the vitamins and herbal sections... what goofball you ran into!
 
Yup it was weird! Not a very good technique for selling stuff! I certainly would tell anyone NOT to ever spend money in his shop!
 
I'm proud of myself today for sticking two big needles of Cimzia into my body ...And to think I used to be afraid of needles! Psshaw...
 
I'm proud because I made it through the whole work day even though I felt lousy and was like a bear with a sore a$$.
 
I am proud of myself cause I got all my house chores done and made Lasangna for tomorrow... I get to go SHOPPING today yay!!!!!!!!!
 
................ because i kept my cool when i was agrueeing with man, and his inconsiderate parking. he took up 2 whole spaces!!!!

Good job Carolyn.....I'm telling you, all Crohnies are super heroes.
 
Because I have gotten out of bed at a normal hour (7am) 4 mornings in a row, and not napped! Also, because I called about going back to work, even though i'm not sure i'm ready...But, never know until you try, right?!
 
Good job Pam!! :)

I am proud of myself today because I didn't sleep a wink but I dragged myself out of bed nice and early JUST to go and get a blood test that needs to be done first thing in the morning. Now, I am going back to bed, but it was so tempting to just leave it - but I want the results ASAP!!
 
Shaz...that guy was a QUACK....glad you kept your cool...no more losing saline on putzes like that ok? What a weirdo!!

I'm proud of myself for not puking this morning!! Yay for no puking - I HATE puking!!
 
I know this isn't crohns related but some people here know that I get panic attacks and I'm still not used to it but I'm proud of myself today because I forced myself to drive my car again even though my mind and body were telling me to stay home. I didn't die and I'm perfectly fine. :)
 
I'm proud myself today because it was my first full day at home from bein in prison .... Um hospital lol
and I didn't stray from my low res diet, even tho the fridge, freezer an pantry all full if the stuff I'd like too eat but can't :)
 
Good job Rob!

I am proud of myself today because I have just spent ages (silly computer/internet issues) deleting all e-mails to and from my ex. I have been holding onto them (and him) for far too long - it feels good to get rid of them!!!! :)
 
Good ridance too bad rubbish hey shazza

feels good too start a fresh with a clear slate doesn't it
 
Feels good (ish). Pretty sad but definately better than having the temptation of reading them again and continuing to stew about it! I have already done the phone messages which I had saved and will do the txts next!!!

Would love to get rid of everything he ever gave me too, which I can do some things, but unfortunately it was him who gave me my very expensive camera so I kinda need to hold on to that!
 
Good for you Shaz. There comes a time when we just have to move on and not look back. It could turn to a very exciting time. Who knows, you may be on the verge of meeting someone special. I hope so. Everybody needs a special person in thier life and to be happy sharing themselves with someone.

Yeah, keep the camera, you find joy in it so you need it.

Sorry Miss Valentine but this is a very very common trend. It is hard to maintain a long distance relationship, and even still it hurts like the devil. Yes you are both young and trust me, the most important thing is to look after yourself and get your education under your belt. Being independant when you are older makes a difference in your life. Love yourself and your life and you will find someone worthy of you, because you have confidence. Having Crohn's hinders your path sometimes but you will deal with it as it comes. I know you are still hurting but times heals. :)
 
.............. because i went to tesco for 4 pints of milk, and only brought 4 pints of milk, never done that before.
 
There is some totally awesome stuff here to be super proud of. It made me smile just to read everything. Congrats to everyone!!

I wouldnt say dumped, we got an inch or 2 on tuesday/wednesdays storm, and its started to snow this mornign, but I dont think its supposed to amount to anything. Why did you guys?
 
Nope but may get up to 4cm, still have the same snow since 3 weeks ago... it wont melt til end of March.. sucks. Tomorrow we are going to dinner and a movie, going to see Edge of Darkness with Mel Gibson, anyone see it?
 
I just cleared the cellphone and any other presents have now gone in the rubbish which gets collected in the morning (apart from the camera of course). Wow I am so proud of myself for doing that!!! :)
 
I'm proud of myself today cos it's got to 10 PM and I haven't cried yet!
There's time yet tho!
feeling crap, so I'm having a dance to The Smiths on me Ipod!
 
i'm proud of myself for toughing through the past few days without going to the ER...i made it through, without judgement from stupid doc's and nurses that have no idea what i'm going through! I'm also proud of myself for showering today...I was getting pretty rank! :p

Proud because I mustured my butt off the couch and went out for my husbands birthday even though I was feeling "special", and glad I did because he had a really great time catching up with friends - he deserved it.

Unfortunately he's suffering from one too many ales today... So I get to look after him in a spectacular reversal of roles!
 
........ because i made a lego frog and i didnt get mad because i had bits left over. apparently they pack extra bits. all the years i have been making lego and i never knew that.
 
...because I didn't take any Xanax today!! Took one yesterday but the 2 days before that I didn't take any either!! I think I might be making progress!!! Now if I could just get my head feeling better, feels feverish, but I have no fever!!!!
 
I am proud of my self, first day out of the hospital and I took two trail walks, one in the late morning and then the afternoon 2.6km total!
 
take it easy pen, dont over do it.

............. because i survived half term ciggy free.
 
for working 46 hours with no ill effects in my first full week of working since being diagnosed last year.

and for keeping my mouth shut too :D
