Another time we will go, but we were looking forward to hiking in the gorge. 800 steps up and down.

6:42 am

crosshair

My knees throb in dull pain at the mere thought...

6:44 am

crosshair

Trying valiantly to hike the bursitis out of my knees. I think that I am at the "Use them or lose them" stage of my life, and I vow not to lose them if it is within my ability to save them.

6:47 am

Scrabbler

Staying physically and mentally active are the keys to prevent the aging process. People that become sedentary allow their bodies to atrophy and decay and seize up.

oh dear, i see, nobody's been here in a long while

10:31 pm

and WHAT KEEPS TICKLING THE END OF MY NOSE?!?!?!

10:36 pm

Nef

Hurshy, it's a pl

10:36 pm

Nef

I was off changing into my p.j.s

10:40 pm

Nef

Did I miss you hurshy?

10:41 pm

hurshy

no

10:42 pm

hurshy

i was just away convincing myself that i have MS

10:42 pm

hurshy

because the end of my nose tickles

10:42 pm

Nef

Why? (you know my hubby has MS, right?)

10:42 pm

hurshy

i see, i went the wrong way to get the ny5

10:43 pm

hurshy

no, nef, i mean, i may have heard that your husband has it, but, i have trouble keeping all the different babblers straight (sorry)

10:43 pm

hurshy

i'm just being a hypochondriac, that's all

10:44 pm

hurshy

i'm sorry if my hypochondriasis has intersected badly with your reality :( hope that is not upsetting for you :(

10:45 pm

Nef

Did you try either washing your face with cold water; or checking to see if it's a stray hair?

10:46 pm

hurshy

it's just been happening for hours, and whenever i brush at it, doesn't seem there is anything there

10:46 pm

Nef

No, you aren't upsetting me; and why should it? His MS is a fact of life we can't deny.

10:46 pm

hurshy

i can't remember if it started before or after i had a shower, which would involve the washing

10:46 pm

hurshy

some people handle hard facts of life better than other people. i'm rather a wimp about them myself.

10:47 pm

Nef

did you check if you have a stray nose hair that's tickling you?

10:47 pm

hurshy

i don't have nose hairs that long

10:48 pm

Nef

Good! (LOL, I hated to even infer that you did!)

10:48 pm

hurshy

it says it can be related to migraines, which i get, although, i don't really think i'm getting one now

10:49 pm

hurshy

or it could be some sort of allergy type thingy

10:49 pm

hurshy

or it could be totally random nothing

10:50 pm

Nef

I can imagine it would be frustrating

10:50 pm

Nef

do you have allergies?

10:50 pm

hurshy

i have had one allergic reaction once in my life and i don't know what caused it. generally i am allergy-free.

10:51 pm

hurshy

but, one can develop allergies at any time.

10:52 pm

Nef

Okay. Here in MN there's enough smoke and related pollution from the forest fires that a lot of people are complaining about allergies;

10:52 pm

hurshy

ahhh, remembering my one allergic reaction is so nostalgic

10:52 pm

hurshy

because it was the first time i took benadryl

10:52 pm

hurshy

and i could NOT stay awake

10:53 pm

Nef

REALLY? *That* sounds odd!

10:53 pm

hurshy

i wish to goodness it had maintained that powerful an effect on me, then i wouldn't need as many scrips

10:53 pm

hurshy

what sounds odd? benadryl is known to cause drowsiness

10:53 pm

hurshy

or perhaps you meant the fact that it was nostalgic

10:54 pm

hurshy

i talk too much too fast

10:54 pm

Nef

It was the nostalgic comment.

10:55 pm

hurshy

yeah, see, my top health complaint is insomnia. so, i just fondly remember that day, now, looking back on it.

10:55 pm

Nef

I've had a couple of anaphylactic reactions & the last thing I'd call them is nostalgia!

10:56 pm

hurshy

well the allergic reaction i had was relatively mild. what happened was, i was trying on bridesmaid dresses for my best friend's wedding. and something i tried on, someone who tried it on previously must have had some kind of lotion or perfume or something that got on the dress, because, everywhere the dress had touched my skin, i broke out in hives

10:56 pm

stidmama

((((((((((hursheroo)))))))))) !!!!!!!!

10:57 pm

hurshy

but i have never had that reaction to any lotions or things that i've actually USED, and there was no way to find out what it was, so, i'm allergic to SOMETHING, but i have no idea what.

10:57 pm

stidmama

*waves at assorted others gladly*

10:57 pm

hurshy

heya stidmeister!

10:57 pm

Nef

I have never had insomnia; I can fall asleep in less than 5 minutes if I lay down

10:57 pm

Nef

Hi stid!

10:57 pm

hurshy

oh nef, you are soooooooo lucky

10:57 pm

stidmama

I HATE when my body does that whole hives-and-cannot-breathe thing just because someone has a chemical on them I cannot be near.

10:57 pm

stidmama

Nef, I want to be reincarnated as you...

10:58 pm

hurshy

my youngest sister sleeps like the dead, my theory is that she stole my sleepies.

10:58 pm

hurshy

see i didn't get the cannot breathe part, only the hives. and the benadryl made 'em go away pretty fast too.

10:59 pm

Nef

Well, to tell the truth, I have narcolepsy & can fall asleep anytime & anywhere if I don't take my meds to stay awake

10:59 pm

hurshy

wowee

11:00 pm

hurshy

everybody has something that goes wrong one way or another i guess

11:00 pm

stidmama

I carry so much medication around with me now (almost all over the counter) that sometimes I worry that someone will think I am "addicted" -- which I guess I am; without the meds, life isn't a sure thing some days.

11:01 pm

stidmama

How are you otherwise, hurshy? Hives that respond well to benadryl at least can be minimized.

11:01 pm

hurshy

i'm just paranoid about ever being without sumatriptan for the migraines. or worse, that the day will come when it stops working.

11:01 pm

Nef

I've fallen asleep driving (more than once!); and even while giving report after working my shift (these have happened when I missed my meds or was trying to push myself too much)

11:02 pm

stidmama

Nef, that is rough.

11:03 pm

Nef

hurshy, the good news is that there are good meds for migraines these days.

11:03 pm

stidmama

alia

11:03 pm

Nef

stid, you could at least put real words in chat! ;-)

11:04 pm

stidmama

sorry -- wasabi went up my nose... I couldn't help it! :-(

11:04 pm

Nef

OUCH!

11:04 pm

hurshy

oh i can fall asleep while DRIVING alright. esp in the sunshine. found that out when we moved. first day, drove 4 PM to like 3 AM, no probs. but the rest of the trip, we only travelled during the day, and i could NOT take my share of the driving.

11:04 pm

stidmama

LOL -- it was amusing...

11:06 pm

hurshy

MAYBE i'm turning into a vampire.

11:07 pm

stidmama

interesting thought, hurshy -- you do always seem to be online at NIGHT... *quickly eats garlic to keep company with the wasabi*

11:07 pm

Nef

My hubby wants to take a trip down the Mississippi River & check out all of the Bar-b-q all the way down. The problem is that he no longer can drive; and I can't drive more than 6 hours a day right now. (I think it will take way too long for this trip right now)

11:08 pm

hurshy

it will never get easier tho - might be worth taking the time to do

11:08 pm

stidmama

what about a steamboat tour?

11:08 pm

Nef

that's true, hurshy.

11:09 pm

hurshy

oooh a steamboat

11:09 pm

stidmama

try this, nef: http://www.kcbarbecuetours.com/

11:10 pm

Nef

stid, we did check into that about a year or 2 ago. the steamboats don't go the whole length of the river (&they're pretty darned expensive too).
And they have set intineries

11:11 pm

stidmama

yes, I was just thinking how much my mother enjoyed the barge tour they did in France so many years ago -- didn't need to drive, but had lots of good food at every stop!

11:12 pm

Nef

Now that sounds good for the KC area. Thanks; that may be a good thing to check out; it's a bus tour of BBQ places around KC.

11:13 pm

stidmama

:-) I aim to please!

11:13 pm

Nef

I guess Memphis has a different type of BBQ, as does every other area too

11:13 pm

stidmama

OOOH. I has news about my Grant (can you believe he's 21, Hurshy?)

11:14 pm

stidmama

He is now the MANAGER of the music store where he was hired about 11 month ago! :-D *very extremely proud mama look*

11:14 pm

Nef

What's the news, stid?

11:14 pm

Nef

NEAT!

11:16 pm

stidmama

Yep. Salaried and all. BUT... it's a very small store, with only three employees: manager, and two clerks. His first task? Hiring another clerk so he can have some time off! LOL

11:17 pm

stidmama

But it's part of a fairly large chain, so there are many opportunities for advancement if he decides he enjoys it.

11:17 pm

Nef

That's so nice he's doing so well. And for the owners to suggest that he hires a new clerk means he's doing very well there!

11:18 pm

stidmama

yes, I think so -- the regional manager seems to be very aware of the training and all that he needs: I think it's a good place for a young person just starting out.

11:18 pm

Nef

Is it close to you guys?

11:21 pm

stidmama

Yes, about 20 minutes from home. This was a very small store that we first tried way back when Matthew was only 9 or 10.... that would be 13 or 14 years ago! LOL Then the manager hired Matthew for a while.... then Grant last year. It almost feels sometimes like their second home!

11:21 pm

hurshy

so is that, post-college, or did he not do the college thing

11:22 pm

stidmama

He had a bad experience with the college thing his last year of high school, so he is just waiting until he feels the need for it. :-) Meantime, some of the things he is learning about "real life" will serve him well if he ever does go back to college.

11:22 pm

Nef

That's so nice

11:23 pm

stidmama

Matthew actually just finished his BA and is looking for a living-wage position.

11:24 pm

stidmama

could I have a boost for the N? it's my last blank and I am at halfway already.

11:24 pm

Nef

Your boys are growing up so fast, stid

11:24 pm

Nef

ny 5/14 & pl

11:24 pm

stidmama

Yes, and now the gray hairs are starting to really show -- I fear I will blind someone some sunny day if I forget to wear a hat! LOL

11:25 pm

okay, thanks *thinking*

11:25 pm
