I always feel guilty posting after you, Trysha. You are always so polite. I wish you felt better. I wish everyone here always felt good and had no medical issues. THE END!

Thank you for your good wishes Sandy
We must have a few trials otherwise we would not be here
and then we would miss out on good friendships and support
when we most need it.
A little levity now and then---is cherished by the wisest men---
Cheers!
Trysha
 
Hi 723---
not a very good night for sleeping so I while away some time
on the web.
Be better tomorrow---
How are you?
Trysha

Thanx Trysh,
Couldn't get on forum today. Trouble with the site on my end. Bad night last night and going to sleep early. I will talk to you tomorrow.
Night night!! 723:)

Night night!! 723:)

I had trouble with the forum today also. Did anybody else?

I will still say I wish everyone here felt better. I knew (and almost said it myself) that we wouldn't know each other if it weren't otherwise. I also agree we need a little humor and levity. But darn it, that was such a nice ending to this story, and that is why I said THE END!

I WIN, I WIN, I WIN!!!!!
 
Hi, I win and I missed you all since I couldnt get on the site today. Hubby away on business again - safest place for him really - until I get over my extra looney status :shifty-t:

I too been real sleep after Humira jab yesterday - had a bad night with nausea and abdo pain. Washed my hair and swear about 1/4 came out in my hands. I'll look like this soon :cool:
 
So Sandy, why is Ashley in the dog house again? And where does the dog sleep when Ashely is in his house? LOL~

Stephanie, Welcome to the loony bin! Don't believe Sandy, she's just as loony as the rest of us. P.S. You'll have to forgive Robert, he just loves lots and lots of attention. Be sure to give Robert lots of Hugs with our new HUG Button. He would be very depressed if we didn't give him daily hugs. Did you know that a person needs at least 7 hugs a day to be mentally healthy and happy? Seriously, it's true. I'm not joking.

You all got me curious, juicing.... Is it a lot of work? If I don't have a recipe book where would I find recipes? Where would I get a good juicer? Will any juicer do? I think there is one in the garage from my aunt but it seemed like an awful lot of work and an awful lot of mess for so little juice, if I recall correctly. My kids used it.:biggrin:

Had PT today and feel like I've been run over by a mac truck.

Must be getting some more rain again tonight. I'm in a ton of pain. Hiding under my electric blanket throw. Even considering turning on my electric mattress pad.

Missed my Cymbalta this morn and now everything is getting on my nerves. Literally. It's painful to touch anything. I went ahead and took it just a few minutes ago. Hopefully it will work soon.

Anyone have any remedies for Asthma? I can't seem to get my peak flow up despite taking the Albuteral every 4 hours.

Had a hilarious time in PT in the pool. Was laughing so hard and my muscles locked up on me that I almost fell in the water. I've been at this place for over a year now. I just met the other owner today. While I was doing my exercises in the pool, we chatted for a bit. We said our fair wells and then one of the Physical therapist sitting poolside was horrified. She thought I called the manager Dear. Ha, ha, ha! I told her she needed to see her audiologist. I did my exercises, showered, then got ready to go to a private room to change the dressing on my port. My hubby is in pt right now for both his shoulders. I saw him sitting on a chair getting his heat and stim (tens machine). The Therapist from the pool area was standing about two feet away from my hubby. I got a wild hair and decided to sneak up on my hubby and give him a great big kiss. Mwaw! The therapist was horrified! (She had no idea he was my hubby) :rof: The look on her face was priceless. One of the techs there saw the look on my hubby's face and said he seemed shocked. He wasn't sure at first who was kissing him! Ha, ha, ha, ha,! We all had a roar of a laugh on that!

I drive my family crazy. It's fun. You should try it. No, really, You should. It's loads of fun! They never know when I'm going to do something crazy.

Has anyone ever tried typing after taking two puffs of Albuteral for their Asthma? It's the gosh darn hardest thing to do. I'm shaking all over. Geesh!

I'm settling in for my win and am happy as a clam about it...
 
hi my nam is bijon , i have had Crohn's since i was 20 tears old i had a blockage in the bowl and opened it with a bloon, better i am on humeria i also have troublewith my teath i would like to know about having a cyst on my tounge is this uncommon, i am driving my self crazy, i am hope some one can please please give any information on this.god bless and keep all well.
 
Hi Bijon

Welcome to our looney page. You may like to check out the Humira thread in the Treatment section. I also wonder if the external manifestations of crohns would help you with your questions. I get lots of mouth ulcers when I am flaring and I use bonjela to help.
 
P.S. Robert, what ratio carrots to celery do you use? (I really want to know)

You people can't get around me by engaging me with questions. All these Hug and Thanks buttons - we need something more edgy (like my new Shock button) - anyone would think we are all friends when really this is a competition to win.

Juicing

Ratio is about 6 large carrots to 2 or 3 stalks of celery. Really it depends what juicer you have - Naturelover is right in that it can be a lot of work for a little juice sometimes - but when I invested in a better quality juicer the output more than doubled.

You need to stop and think about the benefits of juicing - to me it is always vegetable, not fruit - what is better for you than pure, raw vegetables? Nothing is the answer. Usually we boil / cook 90% of the nutrients out of vegetables, then often add butter/salt/milk.

Each vegetable has its own health benefits and it is how nature intended we all keep healthy - look up the benefits online of any vegetable at random - it is quite astonishing after a lifetime of being seduced by the food industry about the benefits of their highly processed products.

One large glass of vegetable juice each day will make a significant difference to you - and in a very short period of time. I only discovered juicing in my mid forties and I can now bore for England on the subject - that's why I am going to stop here.
 
Sorry AB, I took the win back.
Robert, after your little spiel I couldn't help but thank and hug you. I'm sure that shocked you --- not.

Actually, I agree with you in all you said about food in it's natural, uncooked state, etc. I also do have a juicer, don't laugh everyone, (maybe you Brits and Kiwis won't know the name), it is a Jack Lalanne I got from an . I DO know that when I used it I felt better (never could really get Doug into it though), but I fell out of the habit when it (a) took so much to get so little out of it, and (b) I hated washing it, like all discussed above. Doug is more interested now, though, because he is craving his veggies and can't really eat any without consequences.
 
Okay, this darn forum keeps eating my word infomercial, i put it in three times, and now I have to spell it out again. I got it from an infomercial. How embarrassing!
 
My juicer is also a Jack Lalanne - he is that 100 year old geezer who pulls tractors along with his teeth and puts it down to juicing!

The way I look at it I can wash the juicer through in about 2 minutes (immediately after making the juice) - so it is a small price to pay for good health. Maybe juicing just helps to balance all the bad things I do - cigars, chocolate, etc.
 
Robert, I'm sorry hun. Hate to break the news to you, but chocolate is not a bad thing. If you eat dark chocolate (my favorite) then you get antioxidants. So what's bad about that? On the other hand, cigars...:hallo3:

I'm tired but just can't sleep. Broke down and turned on the eclectic heating pad and turned up the electric blanket throw. Ahhhhhh... what a relief! Simmers down the pain levels. I'm much happier now.:cool:

Anyone have any idea what the best juicer is? You just may get me into juicing. I don't like to eat a lot of veggies. Got them there sensory issues. Can't stand to eat slimy mushrooms due to the sensory issue. LOL!:lol2:

Robert, you might scare off the newbies if they think we're not all friends. Really! You should be ashamed of yourself. You know how sad you would be without all your friends here. You'd be so lost....:yfrown:

Sneakin' in for an AM win. :medal1:
 
Hi ya NL, I sneaking for the evening win. In bed with cat, tv, laptop, kindle and the heater going. Anyone would think I am having trouble chilling out and relaxing. The cat is trying to fool me that he is here for the night..but I know better!:thumright:
 
Robert, you might scare off the newbies if they think we're not all friends. Really! You should be ashamed of yourself. :yfrown:

:

But that's the whole idea - to scare everyone off - I am in it to win it. Anyway I have not scared you off yet - but I am working on it.
 
i used to drink lots of veggy juice, then someone told me beer wasnt a vegetable, dam. oh well i still win.
 
Didn't Jack Lelanne just die? Or was that my imagination? .There is no question in my mind, though, that he had some incredible benefits from juicing. I was just embarrassed that I bought mine from an infomercial. (I guess I can't be too embarrassed if I told everyone three times now.)
You've convinced me. It's off to the store tomorrow, even if I have to drive myself while Doug is at work. NatureLover, that is a heck of a lot further than the three houses I did drive the other day to pick up my dog. She just won't come back once she has escaped into the front, she thinks it is a chase game and I don't walk very well. She does love rides, though. But that of driving was fun, especially when it was literally only about four hours from the last seizure (I actually had two that night/morning.) I think my neighbors got the biggest thrill because I was only in my nightie while they were going to church. (snicker)
I loved your story about your pt. That cracked me up!
Oh, and Ashley is in the dog house because Ashley and her "boyfriend" (also special needs) had apparently been plotting to take a couple of things from his grandmother so they could get married. His mother has full guardianship (even though he is 23) so he can't even live somewhere without mom's permission. The "moms" (me and Andrew's mother) are going to be confronting the pair tomorrow and not giving them time to think of excuses. They are both great master manipulators.
And our dog will sleep where she always does ...stretched out sideways between Doug and myself.
Also, I have used albuterol double dose every four hours. A few years ago, after the zillionth trip to the ER because of breathing emergencies, they wouldn't let me go until I had a home nebulizer (with albuterol) lined up to bring with me. The same machines they use in the hospital. They were tired of my blood oxygen going into the 70'a and 80's. Now they just shut and try to lock the door and say, "oh, it's you again." (that literally happened when I had 2nd, almost 3rd degree burns on a couple of fingers.) My ex told me I was an accident waiting to happen, and I think he may have been right.
Try writing/typing with albuterol on top of essential tremor! Now THAT gets interesting. So does eating at times. But that may be because of my "myoclonic jerks." Food can go flying.
I'm really not complaining. I don't have as much pain as most of you, I just make an interesting side show at times. As Trysha said, (paraphrased), you have to be able to laugh. (oh, I do duck down now when I see an ambulance coming.)
 
I think Trev's and Kirsty's vegetable juice is very similar. Kirsty, whatcha been cooking these days besides pred? didn't you say you were almost done (I'm too lazy to go back and look.) Are ya going to make it? (I had a painkiller for my headache if nobody can tell. Don't usually do that. I don't like the feeling and Lortab keeps me up at night. Sometimes. But it is better than the headache at desperation times.
 
Yep Sandy, me veggie juice is made of bourbon! I am getting ready to cook a roast lamb, chicken and vegetables for 22 people on Saturday night. Mum and dad a coming tomorrow to help and I think we will make the stuffing balls and freeze them. I need to shop for the roast vegetable salad.
 
Sandy, I still haven't fallen asleep. I see the neurologist today. He is going to totally freak that I have an implanted port. In fact, he's going to freak when he reads what I wrote that will give him the short version of what has happened since I last saw him in January of this year.

Please, no seizures while driving. It's hazardous to your health and everyone else's.

How old is Ashley? Good luck with the interrogation. With both "moms" standing together on the same page, those kids don't stand a chance. Ha, ha! Can't wait to hear more...

We have three nebulizers in the home. All three kids needed them. Real cute having three youngins lined up on the couch with nebulizers going. I saw a nice portable nebulizer at the pharmacy the other day. I think I'm going to ask my doc to write me a script for it. If I do it that way, I may not have to pay for it. We hit the catastrophic limit for out of pocket expenses so I don't have to pay any co-pays or deductibles etc. till January 2013. In the mean time, I just have to keep paying down those lovely medical bills. Spending one week in the hospital will cause anyone to hit the catastrophic limit. I like to use the mask or do the blow by with the nebulizer. If I use a mouth piece, I have to use a child's mouth piece because I gag on the adult mouth piece.

I hope you weren't wearing one of those see through nighties with out any undergarments on... (snicker, snicker) ... and on a Sunday out of all days! You should be ashamed of your self! Ha, ha. I don't think you're going to live that one down.

You could always blame your infomercial incident on your meds. After all, how were you supposed to know what you were doing? The meds messed with your mind. Imagine your shock when you received your juicer in the mail with a bill from the infomercial. Tee, hee.

Oh, by double dose of albuteral, do you mean four puffs instead of two? When I was a gymnastic instructor (Shut up Robert!) we had to take a specialized course in first aid and cpr. One thing the EMT told us was that you could do your two puffs and if you were still having trouble, you could do a third puff in 15 minutes. When Daniel, my middle child, was very sick and both mom and dad were completely exhausted, he was accidentally given a double dose of albuteral in his nebulizer. First one of use gave him the dose of albuteral and Intal. Then there was miscommunication, hubby is deaf unless he wears his hearing aids (cochlear implant came years down the road for hubby), and hubby added more albuteral to Dan's neb treatment. Dad then hooked Dan up to his apnea monitor and his heart rate was sky high. Dad came to me all concerned. It didn't take long for me to discern what had happened. I then gave Daniel a higher dose (learned that from the hospital docs and nurses so I knew the safe amount to give) of Tylenol to Dan. This trick helps bring the heart rate down. But boy did we have one wired up boy for the rest of the night. LOL!

You're not the only one who makes a good side show. My hands don't work well and one day I was talking while gesturing with my hands. (Oh, yea, I forgot to mention that one of the times I had a fork in my hand and the other time it was a knife.) The utensil that I was holding at the time went flying. Thank goodness no one was hurt. I no longer gesture with objects in my hands. Ha, ha, ha! For some reason unbeknown to me, my family won't let me play with knifes.

It's not just my hands that don't work well. My whole body does weird things. I'm quite entertaing for my family. Sometimes I look like I'm drunk cause I couldn't walk right if my life depended on it. The brain and muscles don't have good communication skills with one another.

Aura, I am also snuggled up with my kitty. She knows when things aren't right with me and won't leave my side. She literally will lay up against me until she's had enough of my restlessness. Then she moves to another part of the bed but keeps her face where she can keep an eye on me.

Robert, give it up. Scare us away? Seriously? Women are in charge. Remeber. You should be bowing down to us. Women Rule!!!!!!!

Trev, Seriously? Beer/Veggies? Where did you get your high school diploma? From a Cracker Jacks box? How disappointing to discover the truth. Now you know why the saying is "Ignorance is bliss". So sorry that someone burst your bubble. Sandy says you can cry on her shoulder. Kirsty and I say, "Suck it up and take it like a man!" Ha, ha, just teasing ya!

Say, where is eveyone else?

Ahhh... another win for me. For now anyway.
 
This time I have cheated and got the wives to bring nibbles; desserts and vege dish. I just do meat, roast veges, and something sweet for afterwards:biggrin: :ytongue:
 
I hope you weren't wearing one of those see through nighties with out any undergarments on... (snicker, snicker) ... and on a Sunday out of all days! You should be ashamed of your self! Ha, ha. I don't think you're going to live that one down.

Ladies please..............................mind you NL is right we are going to have fun with this Sandy.................puts me in mind of something..................

I'm kidding about driving tomorrow. I also say women rule, men drool. No see-thru nightie, sorry Robert. DDoggy leans on me when not well until I'm on the last six inches of the bed.. My dog rules and drools (occasionally.) I've taken up to four doses of albuterol in past, but that was before (minor) heart surgery. Now not even supposed to take antihistamines (or my beloved diet coke). Cheating lately on diet coke.

I have a sign hanging in my office that says "I live in my own little world, but that's okay, they know me here." I generally don't wear t-shirt shirts with writing or pictures on them, but I also found a t-shirt with the same saying on it, and one time I wore it to my neurologist's office, a nice prim and proper lady, but she laughed because she knew I was making a statement.

get some sleep and good luck at the doc tomorrow.
 
Sandy, I want that shirt in my size! What an awesome find! Actually, I go to the neuro in just a few short hours... Gotta stay awake!

I agree Sandy. I took tylenol last night and it did nothing. Waited 3 and half hrs. Took a lortab and within half hr. i was out and got a good night's sleep!:thumright:
 
:shifty-t:Seems like noone's around so I may as well go get some breakfast, hmmm, what to eat??? Don't have a juicer! Robert, since you're rich, how about shipping me one?:thumright:
 
My juicer is also a Jack Lalanne - he is that 100 year old geezer who pulls tractors along with his teeth and puts it down to juicing!

The way I look at it I can wash the juicer through in about 2 minutes (immediately after making the juice) - so it is a small price to pay for good health. Maybe juicing just helps to balance all the bad things I do - cigars, chocolate, etc.

Robert, that last sentence is a bit worrisome....lol!
 
Do you know I try to take these limericks off in a fun direction and you lot shoot me down! Shocked and appalled !
 
So you were rich until you let some woman into your heart??? She took your castle, did she? No wonder you are sooo mean!:ylol:
 
and I thought Cheryl and Carol were bad - picking on me for no reason!


No reason? No reason?!

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

My ex left with all my worldly possessions, including vehicles, housing, bank account, everything. He had a Rolex, very expensive computers (back in the day when only a few people had them and he had specially built ones -- about $30K apiece. I did end up with my cheap clothes and very low end sewing machine. But I felt rich. Why? I finally had my paycheck back and could control it the way I wanted to. Mostly I had peace of mind. Why did I stay with him at all? I haven't a clue.
 
Gotta go finish my laundry. And vacuum. And do dishes. and dust. And clean that dreaded bathroom! See you all in about five years.
 
Nothing would scare me, I worked a huge apt. complex in the city and you wann talk about filth. You haven't seen anything like this before. We had to clean apts. that were vacated and some you had to literally scrape the food off the kitchen floor. Took hours to scrub one shower. Hours to clean out the garbage. It was a fun job.:stinks:
 
What does Robert do for a living? Anyone wanna guess? My guess is businessman in a big company. Vice Pres. or close.:biggrin:
 
Nah - they know what I do - put cigar consultant into Google - that's me. Typical day tomorrow - I am in London smoking cigars - its work and I get paid for it.

Can't wait for Carol to get back - she will be in a good mood and a lot kinder than you lot.

Ahhh are we bein mean to you?:voodoo:
 
Yoo Hoo,i'm back.Had a great day with friends of 35yrs standing.Lots of laughs about silly things (some rude) good food and weather ok.Lovely panoramic views over Kielder water.Nice to know you were looking forward to me getting back sweetheart. xxx
 
Robert, just admit it already, you hit that hug button on purpose. And.....you LOVE that button.

Carol, welcome back! Glad you enjoyed the day! And yes, Robert missed his sweetheart!
 
Morning all, Robert how are you? I'm just checking on you as your advisor. I had to pay my ex $30K in addition to the beach house and car. I was left with house in suburbs and no car. Most of my cooking stuff and tools were at the beach house.

Thinking of you
 
Well I do need some advice today - you have been slacking in your responsibilities recently - most of my casual shirts (not polo shirts) have long sleeves - I have been told the short sleeved ones are actually a bad look and I should get rid of them.

What is the advice from my style guru?

:blush:Sorry that happened to you Aura. This is Teresa(723crossroads) What the heck is your first name? Are you Kirsty???
 
Hi

Robert to be honest I dont think the UK gets hot enough to warrant short sleeve shirts. I think you would be fine in polo shirts, but I really see you in short sleeve cotton shirts.

Teresa - yes I am Kirsty - Aura is the name of my vacum cleaner

I am not your style guru, but I agree. My hubby has some short sleeved ones and under a jacket is fine, but without one YUCK!:ylol2::ywow:
How are things in your part of the world? What time is it there?

That is too funny. Here I am a cleaning lady and you are a vacuum!!!:ylol2:
 
Well it is 9.20pm here and 1979 in New Zealand

(that's just a joke Kirsty - don't start throwing things)
 
It's 8:20 in the morning, that is in the future for Robert - we are ahead of him - in more ways that one:D
 
Wow what a time difference! For us all. No wonder we are so out of sync Robert. You are 4 hrs. ahead of us and Kirsty is 8hrs behind. What a crew ay???:kiss:
 
In Robert's defense, my hubs has short sleeve ones.

Can't say as I blame him though living in Missouri. You poor people roast all summer. Ours is bad enough. My Mom and Dad and brother and fam went to Branson a couple years ago and nearly melted in August. But, loved the place.

So you are only one hr. behind me? We should get along fabulously:ylol2:
 
So

Cheryl is 1 hour behind Teresa
Teresa is 5 hours behind Robert
Robert is 11 hours behind Kirsty
and Kirsty is 17 hours ahead of Cheryl.

I will be testing you all tomorrow!

No teresa is 4hrs behind you! Remember? It is 4:38 here WHOOPS you are right, I stand corrected Sir Robert.:dance:
 
So does Doug, but it is often around 100° in July and August here. Personally, I think long sleeves are much classier looking, but not practical in all occasions. I've done a lot of housework so I treated myself to a massage.
Back to my bondage.
 
I think about 5-6 posts appeared between the last one I saw and my post (and I even pressed the refresh button.)
