Thanks everybody. Today was a nice, laid back, quiet day. The boys both have colds, and they actually took a nap today!!! I literally cannot remember the last time these two took naps. So I had a quiet afternoon.

I did a little writing... I'm thinking about starting a blog. I've thought about it before, I'm just not sure I'll stick with it.

One long, quiet afternoon can do wonders........

good drugs - to do

Oh, gawd......I feel like I need some good drugs meself. No, it's not my tooth. I've just been communicating briefly with Susie via email, and got the recent updates (been kind of out of the loop), and it's all so unbelievably tragic and heartbreaking for that beautiful woman. I want to be there so badly, just to collect her into a huge hug, and not let go....

Gad, sorry all...Susie's email just floored me, and I had to type something knee-jerk.

Carry onward with yon silliness.....!

Hi sillies,

Driving Weather was not on my side today, down pours, storms, fog you name it.....12 miles single lane constructions I had a near collision in the fog with get this....very ironic with a Wegmans tractor trailer.....yes an idiot cut off the truck and we went into the fog zone and he slammed on his brakes the truck swerved and I was in his blind area....I was able to move and the truck driver waved and mouthed he was sorry.

The illness is still not good....I am in lots of pain from my esophugus.....I cant spell. Anyway that is inflammed so eating is very painful and I have still have the pain/burning spurts, last night one was so bad that John held my hand while I took a shower.....

Today I was tired and the cough hurts too.

Tammy's wedding was nice. We had a lovely time. I did have to tell her that even though it was taking place at the courthouse it was just as special....she was a little sad this morning....She looked pretty I am so proud of her.

She is a mom, a full-time med student who is making straight A's, she works on the side as well doing West Nile testing, it is amazing

So thats my update Bye Sillies, time to rest!!!!

[Mtndog]

Amanda- Glad the wedding was great despite the weathah :wub: We are getting PUMMELED!!!!!

...At least I don't believe so. Do phone technicians have ballcocks at their disposal?

ya nevah evah know!!!!!!!!!!!! :P

I saw that too yesterday, cracked me up

I do believe you are right, Beave-erly is the silly behind it!

'Twas I and I didn't even know- had to go back and check the addy book.

Holy poop- I almost dropped the laptop cuz lightning........SCARY...gotta go!!!!!!

[Green12]

Hi Julie--did you see Design Star this week? I was gonna post on that thread, but didn't know if you had a chance to see it and didn't want to spoil it fer ya.

I did Patti, been meaning to post on the thread meself but it keeps slipping me mind

What's the latest on your liver enzymes/gall bladder situation?

I am in lots of pain from my esophugus.....I cant spell. Anyway that is inflammed so eating is very painful and I have still have the pain/burning spurts, last night one was so bad that John held my hand while I took a shower.....

Today I was tired and the cough hurts too.

Amanda, so glad to hear the wedding was really nice

About your esophogus pain and inflammation, slippery elm has been a life saver for me when I've had gerd attacks and esophogeal spasms and such. You can find it at the health food stores, they have lozenges (check ingredients, but I am pretty sure they are safe gluten wise )

I usually just buy slippery elm powder in bulk (like from Whole Foods) and make a gruel to drink, 1 tbsp powder mixed into a cup or a cup and a half of cold water in a pan over the stove, stir constantly with a wisk while you heat it up to a boil, it will start to thicken a little, if it's too thick to drink add more water to thin it out to drinking consistency. The slippery elm actually soothes the inflamed tissues.

Holy poop- I almost dropped the laptop cuz lightning........SCARY...gotta go!!!!!!

YIKES, better skee-daddle Bev, you don't want to be a fried poop, or a zapped poop!

We got a some rain, it passed through quickly to amount to anything severe like what was predicted, no heavy hail or anything like that. But OMG is it ever muggy, my hair is not a happy camper

[blueeyedmanda]

My whole Esophogus problems stemmed from the ravaging bronch. infection. I never had gerd issues beforew at all....The Z-pac will calm it down. Scary huh?

Night Night sillies!

[tom]

Anyone watch The Colbert Report?

He was dissing the new Ben&Jerry's flavor honoring Elton John - said one ingredient was "candied lamb cartilage".

Sounds more Scottish than British, imho.

Emily, I tuned in to the Rogers Cup and saw:

DANCEVIC -vs- DJOKOVIC

Was momentarily fooled into thinking both were from . .. .uhh .. .somewhere over there .. .you know.

I think the canuck lost.

Oh! New Dr.?

p'raps, if you want to just remove the rest of your tooth..

Hit the local rink, strap on the pads but leave the mask at home?

Eventually the pesky tooth will be the one taking a slapshot.

Nice pic Amanda . ....go Zpac go!!!

Julie? Gruel???? :wontdroolforgruelface:

Hope your sleeping now and healing Amanda

God how scary that drive was. glad your ok tho.

Gawd Amanda, how scary with the near collision!!! Thank goodness you're ok.

Be careful about the shower. Heat can help break up mucous, but steam can be VERY difficult to breathe when you are so inflamed. It can be very easy to become dizzy or black out. Good on John for helping you out!

[blueeyedmanda]

Morning Sillies....yes I am at work today but I am feeling a bit better and if something happens I am in the perfect place....a hospital. A lot cooler this morning than the last few no complaints there....

AMMMMMMMAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I SEE YOU........YOU SHOULD BE IN BED.

I was sleeping @ 11.....must have forgotten to shut the computer...I always stay logged in :)

Unfortunately so Ryan

Amanda - nice pic!!

After the 24hr shutdown (operation Investigate Silly Phorum) I was FURTHER plunged into a phorumless abyss due to loss of internet connection!!!!!!!!

MY Gaaaawd ....as if I haven't suffered enough already!!!!

BTW .....Bev's right....I also got gas with the shakes ........Tel was going to escort me to an internet cafe......

My kids have finally finished school 'til Sept (Woo-hoo!) and the sun IS shining......this is surely too good to be true???

Tom as 'Ptaum' on the email list

[Jestgar]

NIK! Naked tatoo'd grandmas! :lol:

[jerseyangel]

Tammy's wedding was nice. We had a lovely time.

So happy the wedding was nice and everyone had a good time Now you need to rest up and take good care of yerself, Amanda! Harrowing drive, though--I'm glad I didn't have to be on the road last night.....

What's the latest on your liver enzymes/gall bladder situation?

The technician told me that she didn't see anything that would cause the enzymes to be elevated--no stones, liver looked clear. I still haven't heard the official word from the doctor though Liver disease can cause the enzymes to be high, but they can also be elevated without disease.

I still wonder if the daily gluten cross contamination from the nuts could have caused them to be out of whack because one of the readings was elevated before I went gluten-free and it went back to normal after being on the diet for a few months. (probably wishful thinking...)

I just read that your Edna is working beautifully!! That's great, Julie!

the new Ben&Jerry's flavor honoring Elton John - said one ingredient was "candied lamb cartilage".

Ew-w-w-w!

Yeah--Julie said gruel

My kids have finally finished school 'til Sept (Woo-hoo!) and the sun IS shining......

Yippee!!

NIK! Naked tatoo'd grandmas! :lol:

Huh? Where?

Ah--storms have passed through and the air is fresh this morning!! I just got a call from the phone/cable company--they got tons of calls like mine yesterday and got the problem fixed overnight so they don't have to come out. My internet is working fine and so is the phone!! Like Nik said--Woo-hoo
