good morning all

1:42 am

grannyrose

cooee and g'day from me. home again, home again...{{hugs}} sprite

1:43 am

worzel

morning gang

1:43 am

sprite

welcome home, darling :) How are you today? How is the foot and are you back from work or from the doctor?

1:43 am

grannyrose

morning worzel. xxx

1:43 am

sprite

hello worzel

1:45 am

grannyrose

sprite spent the dayon the bed, both feet elevated, high compression stockins on. no work. back from doctor. feet 1/4 of what they were. going for an echocardiogram, blood tests, and off to see my cardiologists once i have all the results in hand.

1:45 am

worzel

morning sprite morning Mum ((hugs)) I not in a good mood today. As you know I'm out of work and only have my pushbike as a means to try and locate work but some toad last night decided to whip it from right outside my front door! How rude is that?

1:45 am

grannyrose

oh, no!!! the rotten fink!!

1:46 am

worzel

Yep, rotten is the polite word that I used lol

1:46 am

sprite

good work, rose. Let me know how it works out. Am a little worried about those feet of yours. *hugs*

1:46 am

sprite

sorry about your bike, worzel

1:47 am

grannyrose

that has to e as low as anything i have heard since forever. you poor man....

1:47 am

worzel

ty sprite x

1:47 am

grannyrose

* be *

1:48 am

worzel

Gotten me in a real downer too. Still, life goes on - you have to laugh - and all that!!

1:49 am

sprite

don't see any reason why you should laugh when your bike gets stolen. Being angry is the healthy thing there.

1:49 am

grannyrose

i know, m ate. and you have every right to be down-hearted. such a mean thing to do.

1:50 am

worzel

There's no point being too angry really. I live in a rough shite-hole, if you'll pardon the language. Nobody around here can be trusted - it's just the way this city works. It's always had a bad name, Liverpool, and now I know why

1:50 am

worzel

Not that I'm bitter much lmao

1:50 am

grannyrose

brb, don is awfully quiet...going to check up on him.

1:51 am

sprite

amsterdam is just the same.

1:51 am

sprite

if they are quiet, they are up to no good, rose. Go check quickly :D

1:53 am

worzel

Plus I had to go and choose yesterday of all days to give up smoking after 27 years. I dunno - just when me stress levels are at their highest lol. Still, the way I see it is at least I'm alive. I was gonna say they can't take that from me, but knowing Liverpool and it's knife and gun culture . . .

1:53 am

grannyrose

okay. he's ferreting around in the wardrobe in the spare bedroom. i don't know why, and i don't WANT to know why. * sigh * how am i supposed to rest, with feet up, when he won't do the chores waiting to be done.

1:54 am

sprite

just let go, rose. He will get to them in his own sweet time. No need to remind him every 6 months ;)

1:54 am

grannyrose

ugh, worzel....you are down....but that's okay....* hands wor a lager * wrap your laughing gear around that, mate

1:55 am

worzel

oo-er Mum - bit early for me to start drinking it's only 8am here! Mind you I don't really drink much anyway, but the thought is exceptionally kind, as always. I'll save it for tonight xx

1:56 am

grannyrose

be a bit flat by then. will open a new bottle later, dear.is it ever too early for a lager?

1:57 am

grannyrose

don has emerged, and along side of me on the bed seem to e a 1000 camera bits and pieces. sprite, can i come over to your place, please??

1:58 am

worzel

It is for me - i'm not really a lager man. I don't like much refinery in life, but if anything I'm a brandy man - not the cheap tat neither lmao. Which is why I only really go on a drinking spree about once every 4 or 5 years when I've either saved for a special occasion and decide to drink at least 1/2 the bottle

1:58 am

sprite

always, rose, always. Just ask him when he has planned to do the chores.

1:59 am

grannyrose

okay, wor. * shrugs shoulders * brandy it is....so long as there is a nice single malt somewhere nearby for me....lol

2:00 am

worzel

deffo! We'll have a party and get totally rat-arsed, as they say over here!

2:01 am

grannyrose

errrr, we use the other end....s**t-faced....lolol

2:01 am

worzel

We use that one too. Oh you gotta love the euphemisms for getting drunk!

2:02 am

grannyrose

yeah, like pie-eyed...i mean ...for goodness sake...where does that come from?

2:02 am

worzel

or 3 sheets to the wind?

2:03 am

grannyrose

or under the weather?

2:03 am

worzel

or p*ssed as a fart lol

2:03 am

worzel

anyway . . .

2:04 am

grannyrose

lol..a friend of mine used to be horrified because they found blood in his alcohol stream.

2:05 am

sprite

lol rose

2:05 am

worzel

that's shocking - what a waste of a good stream of alcohol!!

2:05 am

sprite

funny how pissed can mean an6 and drunk

2:08 am

grannyrose

and we also say nissed as a pewt....lolol. i remember once, my eldest was so drunk, he told his friends to take him drunk, i'm home again...lol

2:08 am

worzel

anyway I'm gonna dash off for today as I have a very long walk to get to the job centre. I will bid you all farewell and I do hope you all have a wonderful day/eventide wherever you may celebrate it xx

2:08 am

sprite

we say 'I am not so think that you drunk that I am"

2:09 am

sprite

good luck jobhunting, worzel

2:09 am

grannyrose

will be thinking of you, mate

2:09 am

worzel

ty sprite ty mum xx ((hugs)) xxkissesxx and *poof*

2:09 am

sprite

as* you drunk

2:09 am

grannyrose

lol, yeah i love that one too, sprite

2:10 am

sprite

but then in dutch, of course, grin

2:15 am

sprite

I tried to find the etymology for pie-eyed, rose, but it is as unclear as being drunk, lol. Best explanation is it refers to a vacant stare. Both used for drunk and for wide-eyed.

2:16 am

grannyrose

maybe it's because your eyes become unfocused when you're drunk. and unblinking..

2:18 am

sprite

yeah, vacant stare, empty eyes, no brain behind them, hence something round and flat and empty... like a pie before decorating. Weird one, anyway.

2:19 am

sprite

final session with my therapist today, rose. Saying goodbye... weird idea after all those years. But will continue seeing here at family constellations.

2:20 am

grannyrose

how are you feeling about that sprite. i am betting there may be a few tears shed.

2:21 am

sprite

yeah, it is rather a dual feeling, lol. I am proud and happy about it. And also a little sad.

2:22 am

sprite

but that is ok, I think it is normal to be a little ambivalent about it. And normal is what we went for, lololllll

2:24 am

grannyrose

as you should be proud and happy. look at how much you have achieved. of course having a good counsellor to guide you is a plus. but it takes a lot of courage and sheer perseverance to achieve what you have done.

2:25 am

sprite

I couldn't have done it without her. But yes, it was hard work and traveling back to mental health takes a lot of courage.

2:26 am

grannyrose

i'm proud of you. you deserve a gold medal.

2:26 am

sprite

*hugs* Thanks darling. It is a good feeling.

2:28 am

sprite

oh lol I have a new babble dictionary word. To gentify - have a gender change.

2:29 am

grannyrose

lol, nice one

2:30 am

sprite

:D I tried it first, it so looks like a real word. Too bad we cannot link it to that R

2:31 am

grannyrose

strange!! that was what i was thinking...* sigh * no more original thoughts for me...i'll just sit here and let you do all the thinking for both of us...

2:31 am

sprite

roflol. You are a sister of my soul, darling... whaddaya expect?

2:33 am

grannyrose

it just feels so weird having what you are thinking typed into chat while you are thinking it...

2:33 am

sprite

true. But it also makes me feel so close to you :)

2:34 am

grannyrose

to quote patrick swazy(sp)...ditto

2:34 am

sprite

hehehe one of my favorite movies, Ghost. I soooo love Whoopy.

2:42 am

sprite

fireflies. I am off, darling rose. Must still write a goodbye letter to my counsellor. *hugs* and sleep well, and stay off those feet even when Don doesn't do what you want him to. My love to pugs, if you should see her.

2:43 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!! hope your appointment isn't tooo heart wrenching. but as you said, you will be seeing her at family constellations.

2:54 am

Lizlin

Hi all :)

2:57 am

grannyrose

hey liz

2:57 am

Lizlin

Hi Rose - all's good here. Just home.

2:59 am

grannyrose

all good here too. just a little on the cool side, though.

3:00 am

Lizlin

Predicting frost for tonight - not liking that.

3:01 am

grannyrose

i can imagine...you should of stayed where it was warmer...

3:02 am

Lizlin

Ah well. At least the stress is gone.

3:04 am

grannyrose

how did the 'test' go?

3:05 am

Lizlin

Good - lots of waiting around. Have irregular GOJ apparently. I guess you understand the letters. Even have photo! But could see nothing sinister at all.

3:07 am

grannyrose

ahhh, that make sense. as you say, nothing sinister. when do you get to talk about the results?

3:08 am

Lizlin

Next week or the week after. Doc spoke to me immediately after. Said couldn't see anything that could be the cause. Will send full report to the GP

3:10 am

Lizlin

I thought of you with all the pre / post -op nurses there.

3:10 am

grannyrose

okay. and do you feel okay now? did you have a nice sleep?

3:11 am

grannyrose

i was there in spirit, dear.

3:11 am

Lizlin

I feel fine now - slept well. Your email was good and i talked about the last anaesthetic I had. It was only 5 - 10 minutes I reckon. Had good snack after!!!

3:12 am

grannyrose

yeah,,,our girls always bring a glass of iced water with all the goodies. for me, it was like nectar.

3:13 am

Lizlin

yes - salad sandwich, water, coffee, fruit and jelly but I'll still be ready for dinner!

3:13 am

grannyrose

trust me, liz, it was a little longer than that....probably closer to 25 minutes.

3:14 am

grannyrose

what?? no makka's on the way home??

3:14 am

Lizlin

Really don't think so. Out of waiting room at 4 for chat with anaesthetist etc. Only went in at about 4.10. Awake at 4.25!

3:15 am

Lizlin

No makkas! Not my fav food!

3:15 am

Lizlin

Love that there was a big clock on the wall!

3:15 am

grannyrose

that was quick then.

3:15 am

Lizlin

Also told my bp was perfect - 119/77!

3:16 am

Lizlin

They said it'd be about 5 mins.

3:16 am

grannyrose

whoa, how good is that!

3:16 am

Lizlin

Bit higher after food - 127 / 79

3:17 am

Lizlin

But was bored by then and wanted to go home!

3:17 am

grannyrose

yeah, and the drugs would have worn off as well.

3:17 am

Lizlin

True. Lovely hubby not only waited there for me, he also fasted with me!

3:18 am

grannyrose

nice to have that support isn't it?

3:18 am

Lizlin

:)

3:18 am

Lizlin

And the support of friends. Like I said, your e mail and one from sprite were awesome.

3:19 am

grannyrose

glad to help you, hun

3:20 am

Lizlin

Same - if I can in any way.

I'll stay!

10:02 am

MollyL

Oh good, then Ru doesn't have to get all sniffly and check his deodorant.

10:08 am

rururocks

I considered that

10:09 am

rururocks

I was just reading about this doofus that posted on line a spreadsheet of all the times and reasons his wife refused to have sex with him

10:10 am

Judi

Hmm. An accounting of abstinence.

10:10 am

MollyL

The internet has become a vehicle of shameless self-promotion

10:11 am

MollyL

Or in that case, self-degradation

10:12 am

Judi

Maybe that guy should get sniffly and check his deodorant.

10:13 am

rururocks

I think he should look in the mirror and see what's different about himself

10:14 am

MollyL

My guess is that a guy that dim has never stopped to consider that HE is the problem

10:15 am

rururocks

yeah..that's what I concluded too

10:15 am

Judi

Yeah. Like step away from the computer and spreadsheets and pay attention to your wife.

10:17 am

MollyL

I'm also guessing that Mr. Spreadsheet, um...doesn't know how to show a woman a good time, if you get my drift

10:18 am

jessmom

The wife is the one that posted it online.

10:18 am

rururocks

what..? The article said he did

10:19 am

jessmom

he made the spreadsheet and emailed it to her. She posted it online

10:20 am

Judi

Oh well. So much for a resolution there.

10:20 am

MollyL

Either way, why tell the world?

10:21 am

rururocks

that makes it even funnier jess

10:24 am

We Brits had our versions with Cliff Richard in them

10:32 am

"Oh, Moon-doggie!"

MollyL

Judi has an Annette/Sally Field/Anita Bryant mish mash going on

10:34 am

rururocks

I was thinking the same thing

10:34 am

jaxx7

They could be clones

10:35 am

rururocks

she probably thinks Brittany Spears was the flying nun too

10:35 am

rururocks

Let's all agree to coddle her...

10:36 am

MollyL

Ru, you should not use Brittany Spears and nun in the same sentence

10:36 am

rururocks

Nun of the Above?

10:39 am

Judi

Last word. Need clue for ni5/10.

10:40 am

Glenn Ford maybe?

10:47 am

MollyL

You have a good memory Judi

10:47 am

Just Googled. I'm right! Damn, Ruru. You're right. I am old.

10:47 am

Nef

Good Morning, Everyone.

10:48 am

Judi

The Ghost & Mrs. Muir was a movie too.

10:48 am

MollyL

Oh look, it's Mrs. Ronald's Grandmother

10:49 am

Judi

Jean Tierney and Rex Harrison!

10:49 am

Nef

I'm old too; since I remember those movies on the big screen (which cost less than a dollar back then). I don't remember the TV shows so much; we always had to watch whatever my Uncle had us turn on (mostly news and Hogans Heros, thinking back on it)

10:50 am

MollyL

I'll take Edward Mulhare as the ghost any day

10:50 am

Judi

Hi, Nef. You've got me beat.

10:50 am

Nef

Interesting title, Molly.

10:51 am

Judi

Off I go. See y'all tomorrow! *POOF*

10:51 am

MollyL

Nef. on The Courtship Of Eddie's Father, the nanny called Bill Bixby Mr. Eddie's Father

10:52 am

Nef

Ahhh. I guess that was a TV show?

10:52 am

MollyL

Yes, the nanny was Japanese, it was a funny running bit.

10:56 am

Nef

I'll have to Google it sometime then. However, Ronald is now telling me it's time to play; so I guess I need to go again. We saw the Play "Cinderella" (Rodgers and Hammerstein version) on Thursday night; and he has us constantly putting it on over and over and over and I'm starting to not like it anymore!

10:57 am

Nef

BUT it's better than The Avengers; so I should remember that! BBL!

10:59 am

I was infatuated with that movie when I was a kid.

12:34 pm

sukee

yes Marc it is

12:34 pm

rubyfoo

The property is much more valuable now but there is no place in the US that would be affordable and as pretty as here. Also, what would I do with my old husband????

12:34 pm

sukee

an 7/36 an 8/50 are related

12:35 pm

rubyfoo

Does anybody want an old husband? I'd make it worth your while! lol

12:35 pm

sukee

12:35 pm

I could trade life in France for Canada.

12:36 pm

isn't a hacha an Incan mirror made from mica?

12:36 pm

or the other way around I mean :)

12:36 pm

Dumbarton Oaks...talk about people with money falling out of their...

12:40 pm

rubyfoo

ty Jax, but it could be much worse.

12:41 pm

jaxx7

Indeed it could. I had a retinal film done today and my eyes feel like gobstoppers on stalks. At least I can see now

12:41 pm

rubyfoo

I was friends, years ago, with a priest who was the president of the Amer. Archeological Assoc., and, when he was at Dumbarton Oaks for a year, he invited me down there and I actually stayed in the mansion

12:42 pm

rubyfoo

loooong time ago

12:42 pm

MollyL

Ruby, just the fact that you were friends with a priest is an entire chapter in your book. : D

12:42 pm

Marc Freeman

I just had to step out for a moment. Ruby, my wife has an old husband. Let me know if you need her contact information. I believe she would sell me cheap. I need the stats on the compound words that make up the an8, please?

12:43 pm

jaxx7

against bit of chromosome

12:43 pm

rubyfoo

thank you, Marc, maybe we could trade. I'm not sure mine would notice, as long as your wife can cook

12:44 pm

rubyfoo

He was a Jesuit and brilliant. And we were very close for a few years

12:44 pm

jaxx7

Take off the last letter for 7

12:44 pm

Marc Freeman

she cooks for herself as we don't like the same food. Also she is vegetarian and only cooks and eats what is good for her. That is why she only weights 100 lbs and I weigh double that.

12:45 pm

jaxx7

Am I crying in the wilderness here?

12:45 pm

MollyL

All the Jesuits I have known have been off the charts smart

12:45 pm

lshult

need help finding the 9? plz

12:45 pm

rubyfoo

I cook 3 meals a night: one for husband, one for dogs and one for me. My husband is not much interested in food, though, so I am constantly trying to make things he'll like

12:46 pm

Marc Freeman

Yes please also the an8

12:46 pm

rubyfoo

hello Ishult

12:46 pm

jaxx7

Hi, ishult

12:46 pm

rubyfoo

an8 is the an7 plus a vowel

12:46 pm

lshult

hi to all

12:47 pm

jaxx7

Marc, in between you and Ruby and wife swapping, I have clued the an7 and 8

12:47 pm

Marc Freeman

My problem is that I love food but have discovered that I cannot eat at night if I want to lose weight.

12:47 pm

Marc Freeman

Don't have the an7

12:47 pm

rubyfoo

He was wonderful but is probably not still alive as he was a lot older back in the 60's, probably past 50 then

12:47 pm

rubyfoo

and I was just a kid! lol

12:47 pm

MollyL

That must have been quite an experience staying in the mansion at Dumbarton.

12:47 pm

jaxx7

Please read back, marc

12:48 pm

rubyfoo

an7 against + part of nice men

12:49 pm

jaxx7

OK, I give up no-one is 'listening to me. I am off for the evening meal.

12:49 pm

rubyfoo

yes, it was. And my friend gave a lecture held at a small private museum (name escapes me at the moment) which was opened after hours for his association

12:50 pm

MollyL

It's a beautiful place

12:50 pm

rubyfoo

And the "garden rooms" really knocked me out.

12:51 pm

rubyfoo

I tried taking this husband there and he had no interest

12:51 pm

MollyL

I'm still trying to figure out what you and this husband have/had in common : D

12:52 pm

I thought you were talking about one of those technical conference types of traveling circuses

1:47 pm

1:48 pm

Marc Freeman

Thank you for your patience I got both

1:48 pm

HarryHood

heh. it's worse - nobody would put half that stuff in a family slide show

MollyL

Harry, get with the times, the conferences are all Power Point now. But just as boring.

Our family is stiff with cancer as far back as you care to go. All of us have had to keep an eye peeled as it were

6:02 pm

crosshair

6:02 pm

72 Temple Owl

wow

6:02 pm

crosshair

Like i say, i am pretty forward when it comes to dealing with this here, so If i step out of line, just say so

6:03 pm

uusue2

it's in two abdominal lymph nodes, and at the previous surgical site in his colon, crossy, so pretty localized at the moment although the lymph nodes are not a good sign

6:03 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

6:05 pm

crosshair

I hope frank responds well to the treatments

6:05 pm

crosshair

mine was cisplatin(sp) and evil stuff

6:06 pm

uusue2

I think the cisplatin and the oxyplatin are similar as far as side effects go

6:06 pm

crosshair

puke, puke, and puke again

6:06 pm

crosshair

I lost 100 pounds during treatment(as well as all my hair)

6:07 pm

uusue2

well, if Frank loses 100 pounds he'll weigh about 47, so he'd better not

6:08 pm

crosshair

suze, I do not have your email addy, but if you wish to chat about any of this or have any questions whatsoever on diet and home care issues while treatments are ongoing, i am here if you have a need for it. I have been through the fire and back again. I would like to think I learned something along the way:)

6:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

6:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

6:12 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

to be fair to my dr, she did tell me to eat lots of yogurt, i told her i can't stand yogurt, she told me how to mix it with milk, i told her milk gives me the runs, and so on. today i bought a little bitty single-serve yogurt and will try to eat the little monster

6:12 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

congrats sue!

6:14 pm

dan2bit

howdy dan

6:14 pm

crosshair

my beloved also hates yogurt

6:15 pm

littlebit

Well...all this talk about cancer...I think it hits too close to home for all of us...will be praying for you all

6:15 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i looked at probiotics in the store, they have some in pill form, but of course i have no prescription for that, so i would have to pay cashy money

6:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

i use kefir

6:15 pm

dan2bit

anit

6:15 pm

littlebit

And crossy is right about the probiotics...use them myself now :)

6:15 pm

crosshair

Jameson brand make very good probiotics. they are about 15 dollars for 40 capsules, but you can order them direct for less

6:16 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

seriously, i have never seen kefir in a store. what department would it me in?

6:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

gwen, i think you only need a talblesponn or so at a time.

6:16 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

of yogurt?

6:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

dairy, it is amped up fermented drink, like liquid yoqurt. but i think someone is making fruit juice with probiotcs.

6:17 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

OMG that sounds really gross (really)

6:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes, of yogurt, not a whole container at a time. ask the pharmacist.

6:18 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

well, if i only need a little at a time, i can prolly handle that!

6:18 pm

crosshair

probiotics, one pill, twice a day, easy as that

6:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

i cannot say, i;ve been eating yogurt since the only nationl brand was dannon, i was in 8th grade.

6:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

when dinos roamed the earth :)

6:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

is it the taste or the tesxture?

6:19 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i remember a time when there was no yogurt to speak of. i mean, i know it's been around forever, but we never heard of it, then all a sudden, there it was, and everyone was eating it

6:20 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

the texture is what i find gross, to be honest

6:21 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

plus, there's no "plain" that i could find, so i bought a "vanilla" one to try

6:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

welll as i said, it was vite nam era. there was only yogurt in ethnic stores till dannon came on the scene.

6:21 pm

crosshair

we are of a same age gwen, but I worked at a dairy in my youth and I was up to my armpit in yogurt and sour cream every day:)

6:21 pm

crosshair

Astro brand was the big brand here at that time

6:22 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i never really liked pudding (or other foods with a pudding texture) so i gave up eating pudding, then yogurt came along, and i was like, hell no! LOLOL

6:22 pm

crosshair

used to get the bacterial cultures both both delivered in dry ice

6:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

if you can find real leanses yogurt, it is heavenly, t otally different. you can put plaon yogurt on p

6:23 pm

crosshair

1 cat food can sized tin of culture would render 50 gallons of product. was quite interesting really

6:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

baked potato

6:24 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

real leanses? is that a brand or a typo?

6:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes, believe it or not that was lebanese.

6:25 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

oh! well, i prolly can, since i live near Detroit, and there are tons of middle east people in this area, and food stores, and restaurants, etc

6:26 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

well, i will have to pop into the next lebanese grocery i drive past. good idea, thanks

6:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

i cannot tolerate milk but can eat yogurt. the culture helps , guess. and i just bough cheery with choco chips for dessert. trying to be good

6:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

gwen, still has creamy texture, thicker though and milder.

6:27 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

oooh, chocolate chip yogurt!

6:27 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

wondering if i can find lebanese yogurt with chocolate chips in it . . .

6:28 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

or i could just toss 'em in there myself. no, that is too much like cooking. LOL

6:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

east coast brand, though, i think. trader joe's has chocolate. ut if you only need a spoonful, just treat it as medicine. unless you are talking a tetracycline like drug, then watch the dairy.

6:29 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

tetracycline? now i'm afraid to ask

6:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

sorry, but i took cyclines for years and years. i am afflicted with cystic acne. yes, there is restriction on dairy for a period efore and after the dose, it invalidates the drug,

6:31 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i'm taking amox-clav. i just looked it up on wikipedia and no mention of tetracycline

6:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

soundspenicllin like

6:32 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

(4 syllables per drug. OY)

6:32 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

it's an antibiotic, did i mention? for "soft tissue infection"

6:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

amoxicillin, perhaps. took that as well, tore my stomach to shreds, but that is my weak spot.

6:33 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

yep, what you said

6:34 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

well, i'm off, many thanks for all your good advice

6:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

oooh, poor gwen! did not mean to confuse. maybe google fruit juice with probiotics.

6:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

Gwen! Naked juice brand makes mango juice with probiotics! no yogurt or dairy!
