1:06 am
rbud
she said it happened last time she flew, too
1:08 am

Lots of things ru. The smog here hasn't helped too much at times. Dust mites, pollen, cats. There is plant life here you know.
1:08 am

vanillaslice
can you still go away for a while?
2:44 am
grannyrose
hey, van, still here? yes it is. was worried i wouldn't be able to make the mortgage payments whilst off work for so long
2:44 am
grannyrose
van, depends on my post-op physio schedule....am hoping for a few days at least while mother mac is in respite.
2:45 am
vanillaslice
its not what you expected lsl to pay for but it must be a relief all the same
2:47 am
grannyrose
ah well, the government isn't satisfied with 42 years of taxes from me...they want another 5 years worth.
2:48 am
vanillaslice
yeah its tough
2:51 am
grannyrose
and this decision was made by some twerp sitting in his posh office, with a lifetime pension of 250 grand....
2:52 am
vanillaslice
perhaps, or he/she may in your boat too, just doing their job what the powers that be decide
2:52 am
grannyrose
like to see him do 10-12 hours constantly on his feet, literally controlling people's lives in his hands.
2:53 am
grannyrose
sorry, van...do i sound cross? or maybe this person is related to you? wouldn't like to hurt you or yours. but being me, i say it how i see it.
2:54 am
vanillaslice
no I have no relative or even friend in there, but I have met a few govt workers who are doing it tough themselves
2:55 am

at least the wolves will away from the door for a while for you while you recover

Even the ones that say "Lob hand grenades into your loud neighbor's yard?"
9:04 am

Okay, probably not those voices.
9:05 am

I suppose it would be okay to lob rats into your neighbor's yard. They don't (usually) explode.

T.O my s.i.l is a nurse and says choose the pat down every time over the scanner.she says the airport x-ray machines use a "scatter" variety of x-rays that are strong and she wonders how often those machines are tuned up to ensure accuracy.a pat down is much better over new and interesting types of cancer down the road

I am looking forward to being unemployed and having a few sunny days to get out my silk painting equipment... probably in July, from the look of the long-range forecasts
11:23 am
Vicuna
I've just had two big shows, so I got several new ones made. I'm on a kick of putting little villages in fantastical places: one is a town on the back of a giant sea turtle, and one is a city under a steam-powered airship.

stidmama i am in the ranks of the semi-retired now and it is perfect! enough work to keep me occupied and out of my beloveds hair 2-3 times a week,but lots of new free time to dive back into hobbies etc
11:25 am
stidmama
not likely warm or sunny though... hoping to get some straightenin done this weekend -- had a migraine most of the week so even today I am going pretty slow.
11:26 am
stidmama
sounds wonderful, dear cross! It's like my schedule, only I really would like to have work nearly every day... we could use the money.
11:26 am
Vicuna
Sounds perfect, crosshair.
Stidmama, no fun on the migraine. No fun on the housework either, except that much as I hate housework, I do like doing my projects better when I've cleared the decks first.
11:27 am
stidmama
vi, they are PERFECT! I so love your work.
11:27 am
Vicuna
Thanks! *beaming* I had a lot of fun with them.
11:28 am
stidmama
I can't even find my decks at the moment!!! the dining room table where I have my paper cutting materials is surrounded by boxes, the office where I do my painting is filled with boxes... *sigh* and my silk materials are somewhere in the storage locker.
11:28 am
crosshair
love your work vicuna,i think you would excell at recreating old world style maps
11:29 am
Vicuna
Yeah, I'm sorry to have to say it sounds like time to find those decks. =P
11:29 am
stidmama
my goal is to get my clothes sorted out this weekend, put the winter gear away and find the cool weather gear; sweep all the floors and mop; if it's dry enough weed the garden a little; and maybe get out to see the Avengers for an early show.
11:29 am
crosshair
cartography styles from the early 1800,s and before
11:30 am
stidmama
then once school is out I can shovel the boxes outside for sorting and have space to work again.
11:30 am
Vicuna
Thanks, crosshair. I do love old maps. But I wouldn't want to recreate them... I'd want to do something different with them! The towns on those two pieces are inspired by the little city views in the Nuremberg Chronicle.
11:31 am
Vicuna
Sounds like a plan, stidmama. (Albeit an exhausting one.) My big chore for the weekend is the garden. Puttering about in the garden isn't a chore, but clearing out a veritable Amazonian jungle of weeds so I can plant veggies... that'll be a chore.
11:32 am

i do not mean exactly,i mean fantasy or artistc maps from your own mind
11:32 am
72 Temple Owl
vi!
11:33 am

11:36 am

*beaming even more* Aww, stidmama, you're lovely. As a matter of fact, I spent the morning at the school library and it's always very ego-enhancing to see that there's a steady demand for my books there. But 99.9999% of school libraries don't have them, of course.

At least twenty plus years. My older two are in their early thirties and they watched him as kids.
12:55 pm
MollyL
The thing is, he has maintained an "image" in the news and as far as I know, is internationally known. So it's not "one of those American things" as is usually stated here.

periwinkle
hi there hego, how are you?
3:17 pm
hego
Good, been away, good to be back.
3:17 pm
periwinkle
I know you were in Italy, were you also somewhere else, hego?
3:18 pm
periwinkle

3:18 pm
hego
Got back, three days later had to go to NC.
3:18 pm
hego
Husbands uncle had a stroke.

3:27 pm
crosshair
ahh howdy hego:))
3:27 pm
MollyL
to8...you need to be to8 of other people's shortcomings
3:27 pm
crosshair
nothing,just crossy being strange
3:28 pm
Sugrraleona
ty molly
3:28 pm
hego
we are to8 of Crossy, always. lol
3:28 pm
crosshair
well ty:)
3:28 pm
MollyL
Alas, we live in the world of instant gratification
3:29 pm
crosshair
as is my mrs
3:29 pm
crosshair
ahh molly,that was so 8 seconds ago:)
3:29 pm
hego
must keep up
3:30 pm
crosshair
oh toothpick update: foot has swollen on bottom.going to clinic in hour to get it dug out of my foot
3:30 pm
MollyL
I really, really don't like those 4G commercials with the neighbors in the yard on their 4G phones. Really.
3:30 pm
crosshair
it is annoying is it not?
3:31 pm
hego
why does Crossy have a toothpick in his foot?
3:31 pm
Sugrraleona
pe633?
3:31 pm
crosshair
though mrs and i love the allstate insurance commercials with that mayhem fella
3:31 pm
hego
Has no one told him where to use them?
3:31 pm
crosshair
i stepped on it hego
3:32 pm
MollyL
The foot probably needs to be lanced in order for someone to get a good grip on the toothpick. I'm sure it will feel much better when it's all taken care of.
3:32 pm
MollyL
pe6/33...Mr. Herman, comic
3:32 pm
hego
thought so. don't keep them on the floor anymore.
3:32 pm
crosshair
some kind soul dumped it on the carpet,where it lodged like a spear in the carpet nap awaiting crossy
3:32 pm
hego
Poor Crossy. : (
3:32 pm
crosshair
i hope so molly
3:33 pm
MollyL
We need a group foot healing ceremony here. Peri is having foot troubles too.
3:33 pm
crosshair
"lancing and a stich or 2 cannot hurt more than it does now at any rate
3:34 pm
crosshair
poor peri:((
3:34 pm
MollyL
Just make sure they give you a healthy shot of lidocaine before they lance it.
3:34 pm
crosshair
one of our u.k babblers who name escapes me atm also injured her foot
3:35 pm
crosshair
well,they are going to numb it with something,thats for d***d sure
3:36 pm
MollyL
Some doctors are evil and think you should just suck it up for something like that. I always suggest people DEMAND.
3:36 pm
crosshair
i will suck it upif he sucks it up while i do the same to him
3:36 pm
hego
never heard of such a thing. that's awful
3:37 pm
crosshair
they have to be reminded sometimes that we are not breathing pieces of meat
3:37 pm
MollyL
I had a doctor try to relocate my son's badly dislocated foot before the morphine drip kicked in. He got an earful from me about that.
3:37 pm
crosshair
i know all about patient transferrance but remember we feel pain
3:37 pm
crosshair
poor boy:(
3:38 pm
MollyL
As it turned out, when the orthopedist got there, he knocked my son out to relocate it. So much for the knowledge of the Doogie Houser ER doctor.
3:39 pm
crosshair
you probably knew the second you saw the first doc,he was not the right one
3:40 pm
crosshair
what scares me now as i get older are docs that look like they shave once a month.had a doc look at something last month,he came in and i said "hello son" is you dad coming to see me soon?"
3:41 pm
crosshair
only to find out he graduated university at 17 and wrote 3 books on my problem lol
3:42 pm
hego
some are very smart, but nothing replaces experince.
3:42 pm
crosshair
he just keeps adding degrees to keep himself busy diring coffee breaks
3:43 pm
MollyL
I agree Hego. Book smart is never as good as experience.
3:43 pm
crosshair
indeed hego
3:54 pm

4:01 pm
Jillyjill
LOL peri, it's anything one has on Friday!!
4:01 pm
MollyL
Beer, Peri. It's already been made fun of here, but that is my drink of choice.
4:01 pm
periwinkle
I am not a big drinker cause alcohol does not affect me like it did when I was younger. (or is it effect)
4:02 pm
periwinkle
I like a gin and tonic or vodka and tonic but I don't get a buzz like I used to, just get tired
4:03 pm
Jillyjill
Love beer and G&Ts...
4:04 pm
mab
i don't drink but my supermarket sells pina colada, margarita and some other cocktail flavored jello
4:04 pm
mab
i passed and simply got the artificially flavored cherry and lime jellos
4:04 pm
mab
i'm old-fashioned.
4:05 pm
periwinkle
I love to read your profile, mab.
4:06 pm
mab
thanks. i just smashed together a couple of lines of dialogue from movies, but they more or less fit me
4:07 pm
periwinkle
always makes me chuckle, mab
4:07 pm
Jillyjill
Man, wish I'd known about alchohol flavored jellos...would have been a treat for my colonoscopy prep last weekend!
4:08 pm
mab
colonoscopy; oh boy.
4:08 pm
mab
i've been putting that off for years
4:09 pm
Jillyjill
Well, I am a nurse in that department...figured since I was 4 years past my 50 year old screening that I should get er done!
4:10 pm
Jillyjill
80% of colon cancers can be caught through screenings.... *nudges mab*
4:10 pm
mab
my best friend, reg, says 'get 'er done.' cute.
4:11 pm
periwinkle
FW, now off to play morewords

4:14 pm
crosshair
no james herriot shire for you mab?
4:14 pm
crosshair
ahh new england sorry
4:15 pm
mab
actually, i recently learned i have an outrageously large amount of arsenic in my body
4:15 pm
crosshair
cool,a poison woman:)
4:15 pm
mab
one of my british neighbors here is a james herriot nut.
4:15 pm
Jillyjill
LOL...our son lives in Millville...small burg in eastern Mass..
4:15 pm
crosshair
crossy has met some in the past before elegant
4:16 pm
Jillyjill
Did you grow up near a mining town?
4:16 pm
crosshair
even with my beloved,there are some days that you best check for any open cuts or sores before wading in:)
4:17 pm
mab
this is a new thing. a few years ago i was filled with methyl mercury, which is why i was tested for heavy metals again recently
4:17 pm
crosshair
good lord!! check yer plumbing in the house mab!
4:17 pm
mab
i think it's the house. i think the house is poisonous
4:18 pm
crosshair
and stop eating thermometers
4:18 pm
crosshair
hell house of new england!!..mwahahaha
4:18 pm
mab
i'm probably a goner. or maybe i'll develop a super power. either way
4:19 pm
crosshair
now a super power would be nice
4:19 pm
Jillyjill
I believe much of our ground, especially near industrial or mining areas, are full of heavy metals
4:19 pm
Jillyjill
MAB the MAGNIFICENT!!
4:20 pm
mab
it's an old house that's been converted into apartments. every year, it seems, a new insect invades. first year wasps, then moths, then tiny black beetles, etc.
4:20 pm
crosshair
i am sure you are correct jilly.we recently(10 years ago) had our old shipyard properties gutted and everything toxic removed..it was frightening what was buried in the ground
4:21 pm
mab
the mercury was almost certainly from eating too much fish.
4:21 pm
MollyL
Sounds like Biblical plagues. Be on the lookout for the four horsemen.
4:21 pm
crosshair
it cost tens of millions for the clean up,but we passed the epa testing and are happy with the outcome
4:22 pm
crosshair
where do you catch yer fish mab??
4:22 pm
mab
those tins of white tuna shouldn't even be on the shelves. and of course, no fresh tuna, swordfish, etc
4:22 pm
crosshair
if it is in iffy area,remove and dispose of all belly meat keeping only the sides of the fillets
4:22 pm
mab
yes, i feel a little like job sometimes
4:23 pm
crosshair
crossy does not eat canned fish
4:24 pm
crosshair
well all have those decades mab
4:24 pm
crosshair
mine was 2000-2010
4:24 pm
mab
one just must avoid large fish that have live in our sadly polluted oceans for many years before being murdered for our benefit. every knows that now, but years ago i hadn't a clue
4:25 pm
crosshair
anyways,time to get this foot carved open.biab
4:26 pm
mab
my docs must think i swallow batteres
4:29 pm
Jillyjill
Oh no crossy...sorry about that...
4:31 pm
MollyL
He's got a half a splinter stuck in his foot.
4:32 pm
Jillyjill
Yep, I know...he was seeking medical advice a few days ago...both Jes and I figured it'd end up needing to be incised out...just another reminder not to go barefoot...
4:33 pm
MollyL
Well, I'm doomed then. But I only go barefoot in the house. And we don't keep our toothpicks on the floor.
: D
4:34 pm
Jillyjill
LOL...one never knows...
4:36 pm
MollyL
Barefoot in the house was much more dangerous when my kids were small.
4:37 pm
Jillyjill
Legos....OUCH!! I remember it well...
4:37 pm
MollyL
They were pretty good about putting their toys away, but there was inevitably the stray Lego block that was forgotten that found my foot.
4:37 pm
mab
at npr.org there are images of wine and beer dried on slides and viewed through a microscope. an arizona artist...
4:39 pm
Jillyjill
We actually have a level 4 NIH here in our little MT town, they are presenting an art exhibit with colored pictures from the photon microscope...really pretty
4:40 pm
mab
interesting. these images are pretty too.
4:41 pm
Jillyjill
Life is quite amazing really....
4:42 pm
MollyL
And so much of that goes right over the heads of most people.
4:43 pm
mab
this artist, who is also a bartender, has made images of other beverages as well. coca cola is my beverage of choice.
4:44 pm
Jillyjill
Yep, it's nice to see science bringing that out for hte public...
4:45 pm
mab
also on npr: a man with asperger's has made a film about it.
4:46 pm
Jillyjill
Our youngest son was in a relationship with a young man with asperger's...I learned a lot.
4:47 pm
mab
people can be so interesting and lovely if they are allowed to be themselves
4:48 pm
mab
conformity is over rated hugely
4:48 pm
Jillyjill
Unfortunatly, way too often bullied... :(
4:49 pm
torgone
We need to be more to8/40 ..
4:50 pm
MollyL
Did you all read the story about the woman who was bullied in grade school and posted a poem about that right before her class reunion? It was very sad.
4:57 pm
torgone
I didn't see that one ..
4:57 pm
mab
i didn't see that. does sound sad. i'm a bit of an outlier myself
4:59 pm
MollyL
Kids can be very cruel, and unfortunately, that hasn't changed much.
5:01 pm
mab
the callousness of children must be advantageous in an evolutionary way.
5:01 pm
Jillyjill
Just finished an unsuccessful attempt to get our local school board to add sexual preference to their anti-bullying policy :(

ty ty .. and good evening a balm 89 degrees here!
5:05 pm
MollyL
It's pretty steamy here too. But that's good because it's heating up the pool, which opens tomorrow.
5:06 pm
mab
molls are you african american? or am I being too literal.
5:08 pm
mab
89 in western ny! it's not nearly that here in new england
5:08 pm

never this hot this early of the year mab.. im afraid to see summer:(

What on Earth made you think I was African American?
5:20 pm
mab
ralph ellison quote
5:20 pm
mab
like i said, too literal
5:21 pm
mab
me, not the quote
5:21 pm
MollyL
Um, yeah. I don't think everyone who reads, likes and quotes Ellison is African American.
5:21 pm
mab
the quote's great
5:22 pm
mab
sometimes people on line think i'm african american....
5:23 pm
MollyL
Likewise, not everyone who feels invisible is African American. That feeling crosses race, gender and religion.
5:24 pm
mab
i know. i didn't mean at all to irritate
5:24 pm
MollyL
You didn't. You know I love you, Queen Mab.
5:25 pm
mab
aww... same here molls
5:26 pm
mab
does anyone know how to give a cat the third degree? pinky, the little fiend, has hidden my mailbox key.
5:28 pm
torgone
Waterboarding ..
5:29 pm
mab
i don't want to end up in the Hague
5:30 pm
mab
but then, bush, cheney, et.al didn't end up in the hague
5:30 pm
mab
too bad cheney didn't have his heart back then
5:30 pm
torgone
It's "enhanced" pet care
5:32 pm
torgone
And then, in the future when you or someone else finds the key, you can say that the waterboarding worked ..
5:32 pm
mab
he's such a silly, dopy cat, he probably doesn't recall what he did with it. i can relate
5:33 pm
mab
that too is funny, but isn't it the truth? Bush had a brutalizing affect on our culture
5:33 pm
Kaplan the Magne
wow, this chog entered controversial waters!
5:34 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Waterboarding- what a lovely sport.
5:34 pm
mab
it's pinky's fault
5:34 pm
mab
or torgone's... not sure
5:35 pm
mab
anyway, the only thing restraining me is the threat of being brought up on charges of crimes against felinity
5:36 pm
mab
good shabbos, kap. love your jack benny
5:37 pm
Jillyjill
wow, step out for a moment....quite a chat now!!
5:37 pm
mab
torgone started it
5:38 pm
MollyL
I probably don't want to know, but how does a cat get a hold of one's mailbox key?
5:38 pm
mab
it was on a coffee table and therefore became a toy
5:39 pm
mab
thereby, rather
5:40 pm
mab
at least i think that's the world courts view of things
5:40 pm
MollyL
Oh, this is a free range cat like my kids cat. They look at me funny when I don't understand why the cat is allowed on the dining room table.
5:41 pm
mab
i have no control over these cats.
5:42 pm
mab
i try to be authoritative. if cats could laugh out loud it would be pretty jolly around here
5:44 pm
stidmama
hey all, down to 44 earlier, determined to get down to at least 30 today.
5:44 pm
Jillyjill
One of my cats does smile mab...
5:44 pm
Jillyjill
hi stid! ((hugs))
5:44 pm
mab
however, today I purchased an ottoman at our used furniture store that used to live in the used bookstore. not one claw touches it or, or, i don't know. hi stid.
5:45 pm
Jillyjill
You do have scratching posts right mab?
5:45 pm
stidmama
hey jilly
5:46 pm
stidmama
I would think that cats are not fully compatible with nice furniture unless they are declawed, but I don't know a lot about cats.
5:46 pm
mab
my cats don't distinguish. i'm not much of a disciplinarian with them.
5:47 pm
mab
i once spritzed pinky and he actually flinched. i felt so cruel.
5:47 pm
redturtlehead
Good Afternoon!
5:47 pm
stidmama
hey red! how are you doing? weekend already?
5:48 pm
Jillyjill
Luckily, mine do, a have 4 of them placed around to encourage NOT to use the furniture...
5:48 pm
mab
well the ottoman is more of a sentimental thing. i used to sit on it a lot in the used bookstore. but it is covered in red suede.
5:48 pm
Jillyjill
Oh, I watergun mine from time to time...hmmm...is that waterboarding for cats?
5:49 pm
mab
yeah, that's what I mean by 'spritz'
5:49 pm
Jillyjill
Well, don't ask about my leather couch.....a few reminders they like to perch on it...
5:49 pm
mab
miep finds it amusing, pinky is horrified
5:49 pm
MollyL
How else do cats learn where they can and cannot be? I don't think spritzing them is cruel. It beats having their litter box feet on eating surfaces.
5:49 pm
redturtlehead
I am glad for weekend! I also got to observe a gopher turtle today. Made my day.
5:50 pm
redturtlehead
I do love cats and I think my next dog will be a cat.
5:50 pm
stidmama
gopher turtle? a burrowing critter I suppose... *runs off to look it up*
5:50 pm
mab
oh molls. if you'd seen pinky's little face... his eyes squinched....
5:50 pm
redturtlehead
They are super cool stid, and live forever.
5:51 pm
redturtlehead
I agree with molly, spritzing...well...its unpleasant..but fairly painless!
5:51 pm
mab
what is a gopher turtle like?
5:51 pm
stidmama
wow, those are AMAZING animals!!
5:51 pm
MollyL
I love turtles. They are one of my totem animals.
5:51 pm
Jillyjill
and very effective....
5:51 pm
mab
he squinted and flinched! you can tell me that wouldn't have broken your heart.
5:52 pm
redturtlehead
The one I saw was pretty small. drove the dog nuts.
5:52 pm
Jillyjill
Well, not so much...do you have kids mab?
5:53 pm
mab
no. i don't care much for children. it depends.
5:54 pm
Jillyjill
Well, similar to disciplining my kids...there are rules and consequences for breaking the...Never have swatted my four legged kids though....
5:54 pm
stidmama
LOL mab! a wise woman, you are!
5:54 pm
redturtlehead
Still, I rarely see them, so I was excited.
5:55 pm
mab
i like specific children. some of them.
5:56 pm
mab
is it a mammal or a reptile?
5:56 pm
stidmama
I am so glad you had that experience, red -- we don't have many turtles around here, I think it's usually too cold for them.
5:56 pm
stidmama
it's a tortoise, mab, an ancient land tortoise and one of the few that burrows
5:56 pm
redturtlehead
it is a turtle, with that has these digging like feet.
5:57 pm
redturtlehead
They grow very big. The first one I saw was in front of a nature center and huge and so still I thought it was plastic. then it moved..
5:57 pm
Jillyjill
well, have only 50 left and dinner must be made...bbl *poof*
5:58 pm
mab
i like turtles as well. i love the idea of carrying one's home around on one's back. you get sleepy? you just tuck in.
5:59 pm
redturtlehead
They are neat creatures. I do like cats as well though.
5:59 pm
MollyL
I took some great photographs of snapping turtles mating. That is a loud and splashy affair.
6:00 pm
stidmama
oh my, molly! that would be interesting...
6:00 pm
mab
oh, tortoises. remember years ago in england, there was an old soldier who brought home a tortoise from gallipolli. i thnk it out lived him
6:01 pm
stidmama
tortoises are amazingly long-lived creatures. If they survive being born...
6:02 pm
stidmama
oh! met my goal -- down to 30. off to check job boards and back in a few. (((hugs))) it's sunny here, will be out in the garden later! *poof*
6:02 pm
mab
yes, i worry about sea turtles.
6:03 pm
mab
tortoises, however, make rather difficult pets due to all that earthmoving
6:05 pm
mab
talking too much. must take break and get grip.
6:07 pm
redturtlehead
nope you arent talking too much mab, I was just off checking some things. Holiday weekends make me nervous.
6:07 pm
redturtlehead
Work and no one being there to make things happen regularly you know.
6:24 pm
Jillyjill
Well, sous chef has dinner prep done...will try and finish this grid then summon head chef to poach the salmon...

Yes, we may have to rethink this living situation. Maybe move back to Michigan, but come back out here for lots of visits. We've made some great friends out here and it would be tough to leave here - just like it was tough to leave Michigan.

I was al5/10 for most of the day today so I as able to Babble in peace. Now I am done with the grid so here is a story of clues. Soon after I moved into my house on Leo La4/4, I developed allergies. I live in an ar4/4 where I suffer from outdoor allergies. I am allergic to everything from the la4/8 in my yard to the trees ne 4/4 my house.So I have to stay pe4/5 up in my house all day until it is safe for me to go outside.Don't know how I got allergies. I did not in7/32 allergies from my parents. Allergies make it very difficult for me to fall as6/21. When I finally do get to sl 5/12, I wake up in the middle of the night coughing. I have not sl 5/12 a full 8 hours since getting my allergies.My eyes also te 4/4 up and start burning and itching. It looks like I'm we 45/9ing most of the time, but I honestly have not we 4/9 in a long time. Unfortunately, there's nothing to he 4/5 my allergies. I have to let it run its course. My husband isn't very to8/40 of my allergies. He gets re4/4ly annoyed with me coughing all the time.Hubby makes me goto bed in a different room since he can't sl 5/12 with me constantly blowing my nose. I'm so ti 4/4d of allergies. I wish there was some special drug for sa 4/4 that would permanently get rid of them. I he 4/5 my hubby getting restless as he waits for the computer. If I do not give it to him, he will ra4/4 and rave and cause a ri4/4&start yelling at me in a nasty to 4/4. I am going to get off my re 4/4 and go watch My Name is Ea 4/4. Goodnight to all! I'll see you later.

oh dear i am sorry . . . the allergies are re**?

20 now, and listable... (((Min))) I have suffered from various allergies all my life. NOT fun. I did get MUCH better from the respiratory ones when I discovered the many food allergies. It is possible you have something like that, and finding the food trigger would make you feel much better.
