That is an incredible amount of sugar in one place!

But, is it gluten-free? Inquiring minds want to know.

I get ill just thinking about it......and I'm not a diabetic!

Hello Sillies- I somehow went into hiding Hmm...twas a long weekend here and there was Much Ado. Saturday was my BIL's birthday so everyone came over for barbequebusness and birthday cake. Then we had friends over Sunday for more grilling and yesterday was my niece's 6th birthday......busy, busy, busy.

I read a bit to catch up- sorry about all the injuries, perfumings, blisters, premenstrual nastiness and all other things.

I ain't got no silly in me. My one year anniversary of starting antibiotics is next week and I still feel Lymey. Thought it would be over by now .

OK- I do have some phunny in me..........have you guys seen Open Original Shared Link on Flickr? Oh...funny stuff!!!!!!!!!!

This is one of my favorites:

Open Original Shared Link

[Mtndog]

Ok- Found some funnies:

First Cut is the Deepest

Once upon a time, two little boys, Sammy and Tim, were sharing a room in the hospital. As they were getting to know each other a little bit, Sammy eventually asked Tim, "Hey, what're you in for?"

"I'm getting my tonsils out. I'm a little worried," said Tim.

"Oh, don't worry about it," Sammy said. "I had my tonsils out and it was a blast! I got to eat all the ice cream and Jell-O I wanted for two weeks!"

"Oh yeah?'' replied Tim. "That's not half-bad. So, Sammy, how about you? What're you here for?"

"I'm getting a circumcision, whatever that is," Sammy answered.

"Oh my god, circumcision? I got one of those when I was a baby and I couldn't walk for two years!"

or.....

Let's Talk

A guy was seated next to a 10-year-old girl on an airplane. Being bored, he turned to the girl and said, "Let's talk. I've heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger."

The girl, who was reading a book, closed it slowly and said to the guy, "What would you like to talk about?"

Oh, I don't know," said the guy. "How about nuclear power?"

"OK," she said. "That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow and a deer all eat the same stuff... grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?"

The guy thought about it and said, "Hmmm, I have no idea."

To which the girl replied, "Do you really feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know sh@*t?"

Hi, Julie and Bev!

We were just wondering aloud about both of you last night...funny how it's so obvious when there's a silly or two missing for a couple of pages. Your absences are felt.....

Julie, it's been more than a couple of pages for you! Glad to hear you are okay...

Bev! A year on antibiotics? Man......Big Pharma luuurrrrves you, I'm afraid.....

Jess! How are Lefty, Max and Lyle, the Three Cabalieros?

[Darn210]

Bev & Julie - happy you guys could poop in . . . now we can stop speculating. Hope you're feeling better soon, Julie. And hope you quit feeling so lymey, Bev.

One of my favoUrite Open Original Shared Link from America's Funniest Videos. Very subtle, but the dog goes along with it, too.

Ok- Found some funnies:

Good ones, Bohev!

I absolutely hate that it's a whole year and you're still fighting the Lymmies

My sentiments, exactly So good to see you both!

I sent that to both of my kids, as they are now just about old enough (i.e., far enough away from the terrible twos) to find it amusing....

[elye]

I've been trying to figure out what Gus and Elsie appear to be doing in my av, and it has come to me.. .. .it looks like they are praying - - deep in meditative thought before a great shrine. ...

Yes they do! Deep in thought, the two of 'em

[DingoGirl]

You MUST try Bacardi Breezers (can you get them in the US?)

White rum mixed with fruit juice and sparkling water

No laboUr

Pleasant buzz

Um.......do we have those here? I want some!

Did you see "The Worst Summer Cocktail"? They said it is Pina Colata, but that the mo-hee-to is a much better choice! Thought that would be some good news for the Kisseys

Yes, good news for the Kisseys......they were mighty tasty last night! But 'twill be an infrequent treat, too much laboUr for so fleeting a pleasure.....

OMG :lol: soooo cute! Love how he flops to the floor - I think I'll try this -

Indeed, and makes me wonder, are they in cahoots w/ Mr. Chow, somehow? Some sort of meditative tai chi?

BEV!!!!!!!!!!!!!! good funnies and - sounds like you are plum wore out from your weekend.... one year on abx?? this is heinous.......can't be long now, can it? You WILL be better soon!!!!!!!!!!!

and there's Julie.........oh honey - - knew you weren't well when we didn't see you for a while.....glad you're out of it now and you've come to play.

OMG that sugar drink - - could throw up just thinking about it

And speaking of sugar - Em and Peter - - my first cousin is a very severe diabetic (also w/ Crohn's, hashimoto's, and very definitely Celiac but won't remove gluten ) anywho, Jean Marie has been severely afflicted w/ diabetes since - her teens, maybe? eats TONS of sugar, and just uses more insulin. what in hell? has an insulin pump on her body. Um, this girl has almost lost her foot from gangenous diabetic atrophy of some kind.....just nearly died of kidney failure...has gone into horrible near-diabetic comas and in hospital for long periods of time...but......doesn't really change her diet. Charming, darling girl.......always very, very sick......and was addicted to Bella Donna for about 30 years (opium, right?) that her dad prescribed for her because her stomach was always in so much pain. <shaking head> so - shouldn't she NOT eat sweets? <not that she would make any changes> It's very sad........I'm sure she'll not live long. Alas, 'tis another crazy relative that we don't talk to so......won't affect my life directly.

okay - back to silly - and yard work - and........................OMG carpet shampooing is coming up soon.......EGREGIOUS................................

Sillies---got back from the DR. I got a nice sinus infection and also an inhaler, if my breathing does not get better in a month we need to look into Asthma....yikes!

Glad you got it checked out, Amanda. But yes, yikes! on the infection....take care--are you on antibiotics?

[blueeyedmanda]

Got the Z-pak, so I should be good in a quick time. That stuff is powerful.

[nikki-uk]

Julie and Boev are back!!! (my 2 favoUrite Lymies ) with PHUNNIES!!!!!!!!

Susie - how tragic for your cousin ...but also interesting.

This at least proves that you have the 'auto-immune' gene thing floating around in your family.

Absolutely NOBODY in Terry's family (other than our Al) has ....I find this odd

Love Janet's video of the temper tantrum

Amanda - hope the antibiotics work soon!!

...SO tired <yawn> ...t'was a 6am start but that's normal.....I think I'm STILL recovering <lazy slug sot>

Just TOO old to partay the night away

....off to bed with a cup of hot choc

NIGHTY NIGHT PSILLIYEES!!!!!!!!!!!

[elye]

Sillies---got back from the DR. I got a nice sinus infection and also an inhaler, if my breathing does not get better in a month we need to look into Asthma....yikes!

Glad you at least got this figured out, Amanda - - I remember you being concerned about breathing troubles during exercise....

Susie! It always breaks my heart to hear stories about people, especially young people, who refuse to take control of their diabetes and end up with all of the serious, but essentially unavoidable, complications like blindness, gangrene/amputation, kidney failure....how very sad. And she's on a pump? Gad, there is absolutely NO excuse - - the insulin pump makes things so much easier for those who have brittle control....

Wow. Not much more to say. King Diabetic Peter?.....

[psawyer]

There isn't really anything I can add to what Emily said. It is sad to see something like that, and know what lies ahead. But she's in denial and there is really nothing anybody can do to force her to change.

Arrrrrggggh! The weather forecast for tonight contains the words "frost warning."

[DingoGirl]

I know.....she won't do anything to change these things except - take steroids, maybe? is that the prescription? I don't know......we speak to her/see her once a year, on Thanksgiving. She's my age, so much fun, and we have so much in common........but she makes no effort with us and doesn't follow through. Has two kids, divorced, always sick, went through rehab at least twice for her painkiller addiction......great to hang out with but I can't emotionally invest, she shows up for a bit, then vanishes for.....a decade or so. Her husband is fighting for full custody and may get it.

Okay.....Kissey and I have had an argument. this is our second one, total. OMG - - OMG - - OMG. What is the world coming to? It stresses me out.........

Amanda - hope you get your sinus infection under control soon..........

[Mtndog]

OMGAWD- can't believe the temper tantrum video came to Sillyville- we have been talking about it all weekend. Saturday the "men" were playing bocci in the backyard when my 3 year old nephew Cooper walked out and went to grab one of the balls (my sis and I had just run out for ice cream). All the guys yelled, "Cooper, NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!" and he started bawling his eyes out.

My sis and I return home and he is in his mum's arms doing much better. Takes one look at me and explodes again, "Auntie BEEEEVVVVVVVVVV". EVERYONE cracked up. Poor wee Cooper!!!!!! Too funny!

Bev & Julie - happy you guys could poop in . . . now we can stop speculating. Hope you're feeling better soon, Julie. And hope you quit feeling so lymey, Bev.

Ooh...what did you think Julie and I were doing? we do have a secret plan to vacation in Fiji once we both feel better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I absolutely hate that it's a whole year and you're still fighting the Lymmies

You and me both- I have to keep reminding myself that the reason I'm still doing battle is that I had it for a LONG time, but I also have 4 other tick-borne infections

I've been trying to figure out what Gus and Elsie appear to be doing in my av, and it has come to me.. .. .it looks like they are praying - - deep in meditative thought before a great shrine. ...

:lol: It's the Buddha pups!!

Got the Z-pak, so I should be good in a quick time. That stuff is powerful.

You're telling me- Zithro is what killing me my bacteria right now.

[Mtndog]

Oh yes, and Fabio will be accompanying me on this fab Fiji vacation.

Julie, however, is not so fortunate. Her date is Gene Simmons. Must fix this STAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just goes to show ya, I really am a Lyme brain!!!!!!!!!!!!! Last time I checked I was not in possession of balls, bocci or otherwise.

(Is it too late to edit? I think the brain dead should be allowed extra time!)

[Mtndog]

Oh Jess- You got some 'SPLAINING to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jestgar]

Oh Jess- You got some 'SPLAINING to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:lol: :lol:

Aren't we allowed to quote what we thought we saw?

[psawyer]

I don't know about anybody else, but I don't leave my balls unprotected out in the yard where children can grab them. I would for sure be nuts to do that.

2^oC here overnight, with a wind chill (in May??) of -2.
