I'm not sure that food works with that purpose in mind, Howard. Having said that, it's a nice thought!

I hate it when I can't figure out the answer to a question on a test...especially an essay question! Today I had my first final, and it was like that. That's one down and two to go; the next one is tomorrow at 12:45.

. . . you have a row with your girlfriend.  :(

when you have too much anxiety? :-\\


Howard

you can't sleep.  :-\\

Once, I ordered a book which had 500 short stories in. It cost me £20. I ordered that last year in November? Still haven't got it. I have just called for my money back.  :-X I can't tell anyone that - well, now I say it... - they're a rip off. They said they'd try and get someone on me, but now I've said it I doubt they'll be bothered to.

you can't sleep.  :-\\

Yeah...especially when I know that in the back of my mind that I have to get up early the next day. Sometimes you don't go to sleep when you do want to, but you do fall alseep when you don't want to. Isn't that ironic? :-\\

Howard

This happened to me this morning. I was doing laundry and putting a heavy sleeping bag into the washer. Somehow, one of my nails (I have long nails) bent way back and hurt like a  :-X.  After screaming a bunch of obsentities, I looked at it and was ripped way below the quick. The pain subsided until I hit it again and it bent back again, this time it ripped more and started bleeding. I ended up cutting the nail (so it wouldn't pull) and now have a band-aid on it. It is very hard to type with a band-aid on your finger. I really hate when that happens.

Yeah, well I was mentioning it yesterday because we went to the Ventura harbor village to walk around/get some fresh air/etc., but just about every space was taken, so we had to park across the street at the beach area, but that was okay. Also, I do hate it when someone takes up two spaces with one car; as stephanie on full house would say, "How rude!" It's even worse when a camper/RV takes up three or four spaces. >:(

I know; that's what happens when you sleep on it; your arm goes to sleep. See, doing that cuts off the blood circulation; hence, your arm's gonna feel funny. I try not to do that, but we all do sometimes; what can I say? ::)

When you got o the dentist for a checkup and he finds a filling that needs replaced, them makes youset up a second appointment.

You then get the second appointment and it took like 3 minutes to drill and fill.  Why not just do it all at once??

When you go to the Dentist and you wind up having 8 cavities but lucky for me that was 4 years ago and I finally decided to change my ways by brushing,flossing and mouthwash more often. :)

I tried Simply White and it did nothing for me.  The only thing I know that works are the Crest Whitestrips.  Some of my friends have used them and they're teeth are whiter.  I haven't tried them yet myself.  I'm waiting until I get all my dental work done first.

I recommend the Crest Whitestrips. They work great! The only thing that bugs me is that they only cover your front teeth, but I remedy that by buying two packs and using them all the way around. ;D

If you want your teeth really white find a dentist that uses a product called, "Zoom".  It's a whitening system that last a lot longer than Crest Whitestrips and other bleaching agents & it's very affordable.  When you take the cost of the over the counter remedies & how often you need to use them, it's way more expensive to do it yourself.

Nally, where I live here in South Bend it is like a Third World country in terms of power blackouts.

I don't exagerate when I say that the power goes out here at least once every 2 weeks or so.  I mean, if the sky even LOOKS like a storm is coming, the power goes out.  Or a transformer blows up.

It wouldn;t bother me that much, except every time it happens I have to reprogram my "Guide Plus" TV system.  >:(

That blackout was horrible.  I had to walk home from Manhattan.  It took me 3 hours.  I was starved when I got home but didn't want to open the fridge because I wanted to keep it cold as possible in there.  I ended up having to throw almost everything away that was in there anyway.  It was hot as hell that day too

I'm going to go off topic just a bit here since people are talking about last year's blackout. I found this article today that I think is very interesting.

I came home before the blackout even had started when I found out a street light wasn't even working.That night,My Mother and Father complained a lot. It was too hot to do nothing so I took a cold shower and went to bed.There was absolutely NOTHING to do.I was bored as hell. :(

Hey, I was just out your way on Wed & Friday.  Luckily, we missed the accident on 80/94 because we got off at Portage.  I hate rain.  We finally get a "family vacation" and it rains the entire time >:(


80s_cheerleader,

I used to live about a quarter-mile from the Portage exit.  8)

I tell you what, getting from South Bend to Chicago is getting to be hopeless anymore.  On Thursday near Cline Avenue, you could not get on 80/94.  So I took the 90 Toll Road and it was jammed up at Gary.  :-\\

Of course the Skyway was down to one friggin lane at the bridge, as part of the "always under construction" project there.  And last Sunday when I took 94 all the way into Chicago, it was all Jammed for 2 miles before Stoney Island.  >:(

Downtown weather on Thirsday was pretty good though.  :)

I'm gonna start taking the South Shore train into town.

A total heartbreaker, Bobo. We were ahead 1-0 for most of the game and in the last 3 minutes, Zidane scored a free kick and then, what was Gerard doing passing back to the goalkeeper? Unbelievable.

I think the game changed for the worse when Beckham missed a penalty. Just bad luck that's all.

I can't remember who it was that said it..

I think England were still celebrating their goal for the rest of the match, but that's just me. Becks shouldn't have missed that penalty. And I swear...during one of the French goals, it looked like the England goalkeep was getting out of the way of the ball!!!! Erm...you're supposed to block it, not avoid it!!!  >:(

I've seen England more sharper than that, Vile. We seemed to be complacent (despite defending well until the end). As for the goals, I'm not too sure James (the goalkeeper) could have done too much about them. Zidane's shoot from a free-kick was a very good one and the penalty, well, Zidane sent him the wrong way - I'm gonna keep saying this, what was Gerard doing passing back to the goalkeeper with French players hanging around the goalmouth?  :o

I'm sorry to hear that PoP.  Lupus is extremely hard to diagnose and is often overlooked.  Unfortunately, many are not diagnosed until what happened to your mother in law happens to them.  Is she on anything now, like prednisone or methotrexate?  I have been lucky that not too much damage was done the years that I went undiagnosed and untreated, and have been in remission for about 4 years now.  It's not easy to stay that way, I've had to give up alot of things I love,   :-\\ but hey, for my life it's worth it.

I'm glad to hear you are in remission. :)  She took Prednisone for a while & it made her really sick, so now she has turned to alternative medicine/healing practices which help her get through it.

You plan to do something outside and it starts raining!! It's rained everyday this week!!! :(

I'm glad to hear you are in remission. :)  She took Prednisone for a while & it made her really sick, so now she has turned to alternative medicine/healing practices which help her get through it.


There are alot of side effects both short and long term associated with Pred.  Tell her to ask her dr about Plaquinil.  It's milder than pred and has the least amount of side effects. I took pred for a short time and my system could not tolerate it.  Is the alternative medicine helping her?  I hope she starts to feel better soon.  You can live a full life with lupus, you just have to get on the right track and keep it under control.  There are alot of really good websites out there that give alot of information.  Some have messageboards very much like this one where fellow lupies give each other support and trade information.  Some of the people on those boards know more than the drs! They helped me tremendously when I was first diagnosed and for years after that.

I'm game! :D
