Omg...i Might Be On To Something

[Guest Robbin]

Hi whoever is still on--came on to check one last time before bed-finally got everything done- and realized I had forgotten to log off before-I probably do that a lot.

Yes, Ohio can be exotic!! I love Kings Island. We used to be there a lot when we lived in Cincy. That is a gorgeous city and loved living there.

Armetta, I think of you often, my dear you have had way too much going on already. Is it the lung condition again? I hope tomorrow is a better day for you.

Rachel, I agree, you are more up-beat, more animated, and hopeful. So are you Susan. I am so happy to see it when there is some kind of healing. It is a journey, as we all know, that takes some of us on many different side roads, but hopefully to better health.

Well, good grief, Dave, a movie with a friend instead of online all night?!! You must give us a review of that movie. It looks funny and I love W. Ferrell. The last movie I saw was Superman and was disappointed in the Lois Lane-forget the actress - I thought the new superman was good, though and everyone else was good-Parker Posey, Kevin Spacey, and the actor who played Jimmy (forget his name too). I wanted to see the Lady in the Water too, but a friend told me it was not too good. Anyone seen that one? I usually go with a carload of son's friends and a one of my girlfriends to help me chaperone, so it is usually what the kids want to see within reason.

Well, I am so keyed up for this drive. I hate long trips. I usually get sick and numb all over no matter if it is train, bus, car, or plane-I get sick . Say a prayer-my husband is the worst driver I know. He has a hundred guardian angels, though I think. Otherwise, we would have been goners long before now, lol.

Oh, Karen, I took too long typing and didn't see your post. I will pray for you too. You have had way too much for way too long. Take care and get some rest.

[Rachel--24]

REALLY, REALLY BAD NIGHT TONIGHT GUYS....... I am doubled over. When will this stop???????

Sorry Karen. My stomachs not feeling too great tonight either. I think the alien baby is acting up again.

[Rachel--24]

I suppose its entirely possible I just plain ate way too much ice cream today.

I'm sorry Karen....I hope you feel better soon!

Review...hmmm, I heard mixed reviews about this movie...but it's outrageously funny.... very stupid stupid parts, but hilarious...honestly, you have to see it. worth $10.

And....your husband can't be the worst driver....was this a premature post...didn't you read about Rachel's accident?? Hello!??

Sorry Karen. My stomachs not feeling too great tonight either. I think the alien baby is acting up again.

I am so outta here..... you're reminding me of the movie Alien when the alien like tears through the woman.....nasty stuff Rachel.... by the way.... have I told you how attractive you and your alien are lately?

Wow....that was an hour and a half between posts....never seen such a thing here....very dissapointed tonight.....I can't even whore the boards! ugh...must...find...something....to....do....

[AndreaB]

Dave,

Yep, it's been quiet tonight. I've been bouncing between different things...just noticed you posted. Sorry I wasn't here to keep you company.

Had to get directions looked up for Mitch. He's going to Bend OR tomorrow and then down to Klamath Falls OR. Pretty area he says, I haven't seen it.

[DingoGirl]

oh good lord this is worse than a drive-by what I am doing, this is just a BARGE-IN as am too tired to even read the last handful of pages, will have to do it tomorrow...am just signing on to say

GOOD NIGHT

dear citizens of R-ville. and cut and paste something that I love (the words to Taps) for your sweet dreams - - see y'all later!

Day Is Done, Gone The Sun,

From The Lake, From The Hills, From The Sky,

Fading Light...Falling Night...

Trumpet Calls As The Sun Sinks In Flight

I've not been able to post much lately as I'm having computer problems-but only with this thread?!!

VINCENT- where are you??

Everytime I hit 'add reply' I get

'cannot find server' page.

It also happens when I click on page changes,IT'S DRIVING ME MAD!!!

Is it because of the length of the thread?-poor computer has got steam coming out of it's ears-It can't cope!!

I Can't tell you how many posts I've lost

It only happens with this thread

[Camille'sBigSister]

Uh-oh...geese are slipping again....don't tell anyone...but I snuck them some of Rachel's glutened crackers and Auxigro'd veggies! hehehehe

They were kind of out of it after that....and were totally amused by the "duck, duck, goose" game I showed them.....

Premature Post

Sorry, but you must have mistaken some wild geese for our geese, who wouldn't be caught dead eating glutened crackers and Auxigro'd veggies! Better mind your manners, young man. You are only our guest, since you're not gluten-free, and we made the rules long ago.

Several inhabitants have suggested that our geese are slipping. Not so! Your Minister of Defense has been ill, and unable to speak for her charges.

The geese have tried to be patient with recent not-so-subtle sexual inuendos, and with all the references to nudity and to strange men grabbing for Altoids being thrown from a float. But now they are putting their feet down! There are innocent children in Rachelville. We discussed, a few chapters ago, the freedom, safety, and security of our own childhoods, and vowed to provide, in Rachelville, a safe place for children to have the freedom to run about and play, without their parents having to worry about their safety. Therefore, the geese agree with Andrea that we must maintain a sense of decorum on our cult farm.

Sincerely yours,

Cissie

Minister of Defense, in charge of our miraculous, protective, Auxigro-detecting geese

[rinne]

Good morning Cissie, glad to see you in fine form.

I meant to stay up last night but lately I've been up by four or five o'clock a.m. and I'm asleep by ten p.m. I'm sorry to hear some are feeling so badly.

I've been avoiding chocolate and bananas and wonder if I am going through histamine withdrawal. Is that even possible? More likely it was really hot yesterday and being out in it triggered kind of a pre-migraine headache, I used an ice-pack to cool off my head and averted an all out migraine but I can still feel it this morning.

Time to take the dog out, see you in a bit.

[jerseyangel]

Well, not bad--I only had 4 pages to read this morning. What will I do with all of this free time

Rachel--No wonder your stomach was bothering you last night--having a car accident will really shake you up! The whole production afterwards with the police, etc. Good thing it was minor, and no one was hurt.

A couple years ago, I was headed to the bank after work. I was stopped at a light on a slight hill. When the light changed, the huge flatbed truck (the kind that transports lumber) in front of me rolled backwards--right into my car! I was honking the horn, but by the time he put on his brake, the whole front of my Explorer was smashed backwards--like an accordian. (I was sitting there seeing this unfold--like in slow motion) My car was pushed back into another van. I was so shaken up, I literally thought I was going to throw up.

Anyway, I hope that you're calmed down this morning. These things happen, I doubt it was the ice cream that did it! Be thankful that it wasn't worse, and try and put it behind you

[Camille'sBigSister]

And good morning to you, Rinne!

I hate that you're having to fight off a migraine! Lord, but those hurt!!! Would very strong black coffee help? There's a lot of caffeine in the cafergot suppositories I take for my migraines.

Not only are mine caused by msg, but also from bright, flashing lights, and loud noises. I couldn't go to double feature movies (Do they even have them now?), or the circus, or something like "Ice Follies," when I was a teenager. Even now I avoid concerts, etc. Another thing that brings on a migraine is sunlight flashing through trees when I'm driving.

One more thing: If I'm very tense, or stressed about something over which I have no control, I take a suppository before I go to bed that night. If I don't, then as sure as God made little green apples, I'll wake up with a migraine. I understand the science behind this, but it's too boring to repeat; besides, you most likely know all about it!!!

Usually I get up at 6:00 AM, so, since I need nine hours sleep at night, I go to bed at 9:00 PM. But yesterday the ulcer on my ankle hurt so badly I had to take pain pills, and I slept off and on all day. Now my sleeping schedule is all messed up!

Hope you feel better soon!!!

Cissie

[VydorScope]

VINCENT- where are you??

Thats a very good question. Hmm, not realy sure... I'll go look for myself, and return when I have news or get bored of looking.....

[dlp252]

Premature posting...

so...."once more into the breach," dear friends......moving on to other rooms to paint...carpets to rip up.....

Cool about not having to repaint! What's under that carpet, lol? I really need to get rid of mine but I have a feeling there's nothing pretty under it, so I'd have to then do something else... grrr. Having a nice home isn't easy when one is lazy (me).

back to reading...

Patti... yes, I know you might be a little embarrassed of being my twin right now... but... I had to let everyone see what I looked like... as you can all see... me and Patti are not identical twins.

LOVE the new picture...it's so YOU.

Donna Yay...plums too! You GO girl.

Ummm...before I sing your praises did you actually make it the whole day yesterday? I can only recall two drive-bys and they were both pretty early in the day...wait...I think there may have been other drive-bys but no more mention of chocolate.

Yes, I DID make it all day with no chocolate and no plums. But, I did have a soy latte. It's 6:09 am and still no chocolate!

Haha....I think about this too...I wonder if anyone here has read this thread in its entirety (other than me who cant remember past the page we are currently on).

I've read it all, I think, but I still can't remember what page we're currently on...I was thinking of leaving myself a post-it so when I get back to work I know exactly where to start!

[Jean-Luc]

Drive-by -

9 pages to catch-up on. Too much work, hope everyone is ok.

Picard

[dlp252]

Yeah...I got in an accident today.

Had to call Dave to explain why I couldnt return on time.

Dave was gonna come to "the scene" and help me out. I'm not so good at this since I usually dont crash into other cars (just other people who attempt to walk near me) .

Dave's kind of an expert on this....he's had lots of experience.

In the end....I handled it...but do appreciate his offer to assist me. I'm not ususally a damsel in distress but today I kinda was.

Sounds like you are mostly okay (from the accident I mean, )...hope so anyway.

I HAVE to read this thread several times a day or I am absolutely lost. That is why you saw me lurking. Today has not been a good one for me and have slept most of the day and am still in my PJ's. Tomorrow will be a better day as they usually are when I have a lousy one. That was certainly a convoluted sentence. So, I am finishing scanning the forum and off to bed (again), but hopefully for most of the night.

Hope you got some good rest and are feeling much better today!

REALLY, REALLY BAD NIGHT TONIGHT GUYS....... I am doubled over. When will this stop???????

Wow, I'm so sorry!!!! Hoping SOMEONE can figure it all out soon for you.

I've not been able to post much lately as I'm having computer problems-but only with this thread?!!

Hummm, this thread is alive...it's entirely possible. Sorry for the computer problems though--it's frustrating.

I've been avoiding chocolate and bananas and wonder if I am going through histamine withdrawal. Is that even possible?

OMG!!! Seriously I was wondering the same thing. I was more itchy for the last two days than I have been...the spots also burned...I was wondering if the histamine leave kicking and screaming.

[Daxin]

Drive by here too unfortunately....but I WILL be back this afternoon.

I am amazed at how our littel communtity has grown

Morgan -- Welcome to our little family.

Cecile -- LOVE the new hairdo But I agree....where did the square wheels go? Does that mean I have to retire my spots?

Vincent -- How are the ASL classes going? I tried to take some once because my cousin was hearing imapred, but I found it quite tricky to remember everything.

Gotta run for now. Talk to you all soon.

[TheDave]

Good Morning All,

Hope everyone has a good day today....and got some nice restfull sleep!

Talk to you after work as always.....hmmm, work

-Dave

[rinne]

OMG!!! Seriously I was wondering the same thing. I was more itchy for the last two days than I have been...the spots also burned...I was wondering if the histamine leave kicking and screaming.

Cecile, I've said it before and I'll say it again, a little blush, a little eye shadow, do wonders for a girl.

Cissie, I'm going to make coffee, I've been avoiding it because of my stomach but it does work for headaches sometimes.

Rachel, sorry about the car accident, and yes to being totally stressful.

Morning everyone.

[Guest BERNESES]

Rinne- I hope your migraine gets better. My sister used to get cluster migraines and they were awful.

KAREN Sweetie- I REALLY hope that you can feel better soon. This is awful and you have been suffering far too long. A big hug to you.

OK- I shall refrain from any more innuendoes as the geese have put their (webbed?) feet down. My apologies (altough I didn't know about the float????).

I'm off to a bad start today. Our fridge died last week and we lost about $200 worth of GOOD groceries not to mention random junk. The new one was supposed to come today but my landlord ordered the wrong size and they couldn't get it up. So I have been fridgeless for a week on top of feeling like holy-heck. I'm pretty much at my wit's end. You know how you say I'm at the end of my rope? Why does it seem like the rope always gets longer? I've had just about enough.

I'm leaving Saturday for 10 days in Seattle and I can't wait.

Got initial blood test results back yesterday and they don't look good either. Ugh!

[evie]

Thats a very good question. Hmm, not realy sure... I'll go look for myself, and return when I have news or get bored of looking.....

Vincent; glad you got a 'good' report from your test. I forget how old you are..or did I ever know? No one is old enough to have heart problems!! From some of your posts sounds like you are celiac or are you on another kind of diet? Sounds like I do not always remmember what I read, right?? Since you are Rville computer tech, what is reason caps do not come out caps..hand & wrist problems or keyboard problems? Or none of the above?

You have a good day and all the rest of the Rvillians.Thunder here, think a rain is coming! Ok, that will bring my seeds up I planted 3 days ago, just can't stand to have a bare spot in my garden. So like to grow my own veggies!! Older I get my green thumb gets greener!! Hope Rachel is less jittery after her little accident yesterday, that will mess you up in many ways..'been there..done that'. Better get SOME work done, daughter and hubby coming Fri. for a couple days, don't want them to think I spend ALL my time on computer (quite). Lets find those missing geese, where did they go... evie

[mouse]

Beverly, what do you mean the blood tests don't look good? In what way don't they look good. I need everything spelled out for brain dead me (I should have applied for Village Idiot). Sorry for asking, if you don't want to share the information at this time. Many hugs to a get well fast Beverly.

Karen, I so pray everyday that they find out what is causing this to you and that you can finally get it under control. I have no idea where you find the strength to deal with all of this. Many, many prayers coming to you. And a lot of wrap around hugs.

[VydorScope]

Vincent -- How are the ASL classes going? I tried to take some once because my cousin was hearing imapred, but I found it quite tricky to remember everything.

Slow cause its very informal (but free!) I would love to get in a more formal/structure program. But I can communicate with a deaf person who is a bit paitent. I attend one on Sunday and one on Wensdays.

Its like anything esle if you do it all the timeyou will learn it... ifyou do not you wont.

Vincent; glad you got a 'good' report from your test. I forget how old you are..or did I ever know? No one is old enough to have heart problems!! mad.gif From some of your posts sounds like you are celiac or are you on another kind of diet? Sounds like I do not always remmember what I read, right??

I am 31.

I do not have celiac disease, but I do have to be diligant about what I eat and it does mess me up when I am stupid and careless... my sig tells all...

Since you are Rville computer tech, what is reason caps do not come out caps..hand & wrist problems or keyboard problems? Or none of the above?

I have no idea what your asking? And I dunno why ppl think I am the computer tech, the ONLY title I accepted was "Offical Rule Breaker". I think "town hero" and "computer tech" are someone trying to be funny. :D I am certinly no hero thats for sure!

Just a lot of numbers are low that shouldn't be and high that shouldn't be:

White blood cell count is 2.8 (scale 4-11)

RBC 3.74 (under 4 is low)

HCT (is that homocysteine?) 35.8 (36 is low)

MCH 33.8 (over 32 is high)

MCHC 35.4 (over 35 is high)

My NEUTS (I can't figure out what this is) are low 49.7 (above 50 is normal)

UreaN is low 3 (below 6 is low)

looks like vitamin deficiencies? I dunno' . i'll find out more today and tomorrow. I'm so tired.

[dlp252]

Bev, could NEUTS be this?

NAME NEUTS (neutrophils)

NORMAL RANGE 2.2-8.6 K/ƒl

DEFINITION

These are white blood cells that play a key role in inflammation, allergic reactions, pus formation, and in destroying bacteria and parasites.

EXPLANATION OF TEST RESULT

High neutrophil counts often mean infection or inflammation. Interferon treatment is associated with low neutrophil levels. Therefore, you must have adequate (normal or near normal) levels of neutrophils to start therapy with interferon. The absolute neutrophil count (ANC) is the total number of neutrophils in your blood. If your ANC is below 500/ƒl, you are at increased risk of infection.
