EEEKKK! I've just been watching a series of documentaries on what it's like in a US jail, with real jail footage and undercover "plants" to come up with ideas how to improve how the jail is run, and the above comments now scare me. :eek:(Remind me I don't EVER want to go to jail.):eek: :eek::eek: I will never even want to watch anything like that again.
I vote for Gilligan's Island for location. :ROFLMAO:
 
I do like to be beside the seaside......I do like to be beside the sea.....
Its like a warm bath at Miami beach....warm water lapping at your toes...lets go party there...
Ice cream....a happy memory right now...stick with water and a cube of ice....
I do like to stroll along the prom......where the brass bands play on....

We just had a scare. Ninja cat escaped out the front door when it wasn't shut tight, we didn't notice for a couple hours, our cat who has been purely an indoor cat was gone for almost an entire day. We searched and searched (including in the middle of the night in our neighborhood) didn't think we would get him back. Finally we heard his little meow at our back door. He's been extra snuggly and purring since. We sure wonder where he's been. Nutty Naughty Ninja Pounce de Leon sure lives up to his name.20190614_230145.jpg
 
Pets can give you awful scares sometimes Sandy...but of course you know that.

Chris,I used cannabinoid oil last year for a couple of months.I thought I felt the benefits it brings but I take quite a few other supplements so wasn't sure who was doing what.My present plan is to use supplements up and not replace them until I've tried CB oil again on its own and given it a good run. I realIy need something to help with lower back pain .I could burst into tears sometimes....How's your nasty headaches doing ?
 
Glad ninja cat is safe n sound Sandy..we recently got a kitten n im worried about when he can go out. Im used to dogs n them not going out alone. Oh well i guess il get used to it. Hope you are both ok. Xx

Got my bi-opsy results. Duodenal slight raise in inflamation, colonic all good. So no recurrance of crohns, so thats good,but still got the ulcers to deal with. Happy days🙂
Love to all 💕💕
 
I hope you maintain control of your headaches Chris. I just got a new prescription for preventing migraines (emgality), I can't imagine dealing with cluster headaches, migraines are bad enough. (hugs)
 
Sadly i did not get to UK in time to say goodbye to my sister who slipped the surly bonds of earth this morning.
I will be there for the funeral though.
It looks as if I will need a boat to get round England...whatever is happening to the drainage systems..
Sorry to hear about your headaches Chris.....acupuncture works well for me and seems to stop the cycle.
Stay well as you can Everyone.
Winning....
 
Mandy, our cat is a little devil too. 😈In fact, a veterinarian told us during an emergency visit in the middle of the night after Ninja swallowed one of my pills, and explaining other behaviors, that "he's going to be a handful." Well, he is. But it's part of his charm and he's just as loved. It's hard not to love someone (or some cat) that takes flying leaps from across the room into your arms and just wants to be cuddled (startling as that is). And Bentley tries to keep him in line, bless his little heart. They both keep us entertained (and both keep us terrified at times).
Leaving for now, we're getting ready for a kayak bass fishing tournament/camping trip. I'll post again when I can, not sure of what kind of cell/internet reception we'll have when we get there.
(((Hugs))) to all, especially Trysha right now.
 
Oh my...they are little devils!!!
Taz has a habit if pouncing on your legs, which i can see being an accident waiting to happen😲.
Have a great trip. Love to you and Doug ❤❤

Have fun camping, Sandy. It's about time I spent a few nights in the woods. As soon as I can get a new furnace/heat pump for the house the better, I have a guy coming here this week for an estimate... Hopefully. Then I can take off for a few days at a time without waiting around for appointments. Cheers all!
 
Heres to you getting to the woods Chris. Beware theres not a teddy bears picnic on at the same time 😀😀😀

Im here craving some sanity from my crazy world .... not sure iv come to the right place though😆😆

Love n hugs to all who need /want them and to those who dont... you got them anyway ❤
 
Sorry did not mean to change post.
We now have a double whammy with the sudden death from heart attack of my brother.in.law .....different sister.
So it will be two different funerals in different geographic locations.
The crohns has become suddenly active...absolute misery but I am coping...and will do so till I return to Canada.
At least there is sunshine and mild temperatures and its lovely to walk in the huge garden my niece keeps so beautifully.
Flowers we never hear of in Canada....i dont think they would survive the winters.
Thank you all for your kind thoughts...
Winning......
 
My goodness, Trysha. I'm glad the flight went well at least. I'm really sorry to hear of all the struggles you have to manage right now. Try your best to spend time in that garden... or any other for that matter. Enjoying walking your way around a beautiful garden will help to ease your mind and hopefully your flare will settle down soon. Stress is the enemy. Huge hugs my friend. xx
 
Trysha, he is comical little kitty and does make me laugh n smile, though i could throttle him at times🙂.

Try and make the most of the garden as Chris says. Nature has a calming and restorative effect. Enjoy the brief spell of sunshine too, its good for the body. Dont forget the suncream tho.
Take care and look after yourself.💝💝💋💋 🤗 🤗
 
Hi Mandy.....cats are revered in some countries...ancient Egyptians specially loved them to the point of treating them like gods...
So kind of you to share...thank you so much
Arrangements are being finalised here for the two funerals....it is all so unreal right now..not easy
All too soon i will be winging my way back to Canada....hope the sunshine has found its way there.
The skies were very cloudy on take off and landing.
The aircraft was a Boeing 777......never felt it take off or land...incredibly smooth......hope the Dreamliner for the
return journey is the same.
 
I am an egypt fan. Would love to go one day..
Had a chilled day with the company of Taz for most of it.
It must be so surreal for you all at the mo Trysha. Im here for you if need be💕. Oh i nearly ended up on a dreamliner . They look fabulous.We were looking to book a holiday not long back n the flight would have been on one if we had been able to get the holiday at the right price...sadly not to be, but maybe next time 🙂
Love n hugs xoxo

Heres a recent pic of jaxon...the little monkey.. 🐵
 
What a lovely child Mandy....bet he can be a handful at times.
Things are moving along here...quite a difficult timebut softened by my grand nephews 22month old son....
he is still quite tiny since he was a premature baby and its lovely to see him walking on his spindly legs
I was amazed to hear him singing completely and independently while poring over his toys and a beautiful tuneful
singing voice.
There was a Street Fest today in the market vendors area in the St Albans High Street.
Lots of different European hot food also curries etc.....crowds milling around eating and children drinking from floral
long stem plastic glasses,verypretty.
I had to move away from the food though.........nothing for me to tolerate...would have made things worse....bottledwater
from Gregs was all I could manage.Never feel hungry...
The clothes i brought with me are getting bigger....and looser.......have to go on a shopping spree......good excuse
We are beginning to get to grips with the situation...have to be stoic for sake of the children.
Winning"."
 
I wish you the best, Trysh. Enjoy that new little life, I'm sure he's a welcome distraction from all that's going on. You seem to be holding up well. Soon, hopefully the sadness will pass and life will become a little more normal. We tend to remember the past with good times and the precious moments spent together. I hope this is true for you as well. Hang in there... You are a winner!
 
Thank you Chris...
He is an exceptional child..very forward for his age but his mother is a kindergarten teacher....hid dad also teaches but they are 14 year olds.
.it is a challenge with two separate family funerals but we are made of strong stuff and will survive.
It is so good that theweather has stayed sunny and mild...no rain.
Winning....
 
I'm back!
Mandy, your grandson is indeed adorable, and Trysha, your grand-nephew sounds absolutely precious. I hope the joy he brings, along with other young family members (along with the togetherness of the not so young family members) overshadows the grief you must be going through. I also hope you find some food you can tolerate so you don't lose more weight, but enjoy the shopping anyway. 👗👒📿
Your family does indeed sound like a tough group of people.
We had a good, very enjoyable camping/fishing trip, but neither Doug nor I did well fishing wise during the tourney day. We had a good time with our friends nevertheless. And I did manage to catch my biggest trout to date the day before (even tho I was trying for bass.)
I sure love being out in nature.

Sorry Mandy...I dont know what happened here....have to blame jetlag....
Lovely picture Sandy
Looks like a nice sunny day ...rained so much yesterday but on the positive side it makes the lawns so green
 
Finding it harder to find this page and also to navigate
I preferred dates instead of day of the week.....which week....does not help being jet lagged..
Mandy...I am not so sure about being invincible these days....having a flare to beat all flares....need to get back to Canada
to see my GI....really dont want to go back on kill or cure drugs...
Afraid to eat with the bad effects it brings so quickly....so its back to brat....or nothing.
Now i must start to look at the brighter side of life....
Winning.....
 
Aw Trysha, im sorry you are having a really bad time. I sure hope you get to gain some respite soon. The upset and stress of events wont have helped. Look after yourself hunni. Big hugs n loves 🤗 💋
 
Thanks Mandy...feeling better today
I find the grocery stores quite interesting with such a variety of foods i dont see over our way.
The baked goods especially....and the doughnut peaches ...which I wouldlike to eat but dont dare to....yet...
Lovely walks in the sunshine and fresh air..have to enjoy everything before I leave on Saturday...
Winning.....
 
H ,Shanen,hope all's ok for you and yours.

I'm here Trysha,thanks for asking.I've been keeping up with your posts and I'm glad our weather is being kind to you at least.
Tap on forums top left,then tap on " watched threads " (I think)
 
Hi carol hope you have had a good day🙂..
Shanen nice to see you pop in , hope you are doing well 🙂
Trysha make the most of our good weather...its rare as rocking horse poop 😃
Love to all ❤❤
 
Hi all. Been sweltering today as iv been working under the glass canopy at work, watering plants. Now got headache, dizziness n feel sick. Just got home had cool shower n got in bed. No way am i doing that again in this heat. Hope they dont ask me to again tomorrow as they will get a resounding NO!!!.

Hope to find u all good. ❤
 
I very much dislike heat for the same reasons Mandy. Although I wasn't in a greenhouse, I just spent the night at a girlfriend's house who lives about an hour away to help her with a bunch of errands (driving her to shopping, pharmacy, to a utility company, a meeting about her daughter, etc.) as she doesn't have a vehicle. It's been hot outside (in the 90s), and she doesn't have air conditioning in her house. I crashed all day today. Bleh!

Mandy..dont ever do that again...whatever are your employers thinking of!!! You could have suffered heatstroke...
among other things.
In the olden days especially in Italy and nSpain the heat of the day was spent indoors ..called Siesta time,,,when people rested indoors in the cool.The work day was split to am and evening.
Many places have air conditioning now but it does not seem to exist in UK...where people are too long suffering.
So far i have not noticed the heat here although my family have.
In Ontario you can get soaked with humidity but most people have air conditioners.
The family is gathering for Monday...a gsad occasion.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend

They still have siestas in spain for the most part. Air con seems to be restricted to big stores and offices over here very few small buissness seem to have it. Employers here dont seem to care anymore, all they want is 16 hrs work done in 8 and sod if it nigh on kills you!!.
Oh well hope its a bit cooler today. 🙂❤

Trysha , just saw this now , really sorry for your loss .
 
Trysha glad you got some bargins🙂.. iv said handsome fella but in all truth it could be a lovely lass, im afraid i did not look that closely😀😀❤

Hi Tony..nice to see you pop in, hope you are keeping well. 🙂❤

Love to you all❤❤
 
Just saying hi, not much going on here except I've been out of my "wake-up meds" for my narcolepsy due to a mixup at my pharmacy (grrrrrrr) so all I've really done the past couple days is sleep since the pharmacy couldn't communicate with my doctor over the weekend. I should have them by tomorrow morning. 💤💤💤 (I'm just glad it wasn't my epilepsy meds.🥴) Hope everyone is doing as well as can be.
 
Sandy its so annoying when the meds go awry...and that the doctors are not available at weekends. Guess we cant be ill on a weekend or need anything to help us stay well☹.
Hope you are soon back on track with them ❤❤
 
That is unacceptable Sandy...pharmacists should be available as well as doctors...not too difficult for them to arrange this.Any problems should be promptly sorted out.
At a pinch you might get help from ER with a dosage to tide you over.
We are fortunate to have services available in our locality....cant speak for everywhere though.
Lovely sunny day today
Winning...

Hi all a brief pop in b4 i get my head down. So shattered, im sick of feeling tired all the time. I feel no better when i wake up. They call me the yawn monster!!

Love n hugs to all ❤❤ 🤗 🤗
Click to expand...
And I'm the male version of that monster. I hate how nobody normal??? Define "normal" for me though, right! I mean nobody seems to "get it," really! Just because I'm not bedridden or looking ill all the time, doesn't mean I'm not having a rough day, or week for that matter.

Sandy, I hope things get sorted, that's just not cool. Big hugs bud.xx
 
Chris, i hear you my friend. I realise that no one can get it. Un less they have it. I wouldnt know how someone elses condition affects them exactly, but i would trust their word on how they said they felt. I would be understanding if they had to let me down and feel no ill will or complain that they let me down. I have felt that that is what some people do though when iv had to bow out of doing things with them. We cant avoid it i guess, unless we only have other crohnies as friends....
Take care n have a good day❤
 
I hear you Chris
After a busy time in England i will shortly be leaving for Heathrow and winging my way back to Canada.
Seems a it lonely on this page right now......holiday time i guess.
Good that they found the B12 deficiency Shanen ...hope you soon feel better
Another warm day here
Mandy ..hope you are feeling better
Winning.....
 
Safe journey Trysha.No doubt you'll be sad at leaving your family but happy to be near your med.team again.
I've put the milk in the fridge for you so you can have a nice cuppa when you get home.
 
Thanks Carol...
Just arrived back home...the flight was delayed one hour on the ground at Heathrow....very tiring.
Its hard to be needed in two places at the same time...
It is so hot and humid here after the fresh breezes in England,
Winning....
