OMG I just have to say that if I lived where the temperature was -13. I would die =\

Been missing you on the boards lately.  How are you doing?  I hope you are getting close to finishing your bathroom renovations.  What do you do to help the backaches?  Is there some medicine you can take or is it just something that you have learned to live with?  My heart goes out to and Krislynn  because the little bumps and bruises bother me.  I don't know if I could survive a constant and endless pain.

Thinking of you and praying you'll be feeling better for the holidays ;+)  ~Gigi

Well howdy ms. Gigi. I'm doin' finer'n a frog's hair. How about yourself? Bathroom's ready for the final painting (just gotta go buy paint), and installing all the fixtures (my favorite part), and then I'll be FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

And there was much rejoicing.

(yay!)

I don't do much for the aches n pains I've given myself over the years. Mostly, it's just part of life. If it gets intolerable I'll pop a Motrin or two. I've had docs prescribe stronger stuff, but I hate pharmaceutical companies and have no intentions of furthering their insidious scheme to hook every citizen of the world through the bag. A junkie hooked on legal drugs is still a junkie and a pusher of legal drugs is still a pusher.

"Side effects may include heart palpitations, loss of bladder control, profuse sweating, inability to sleep, inability to stay awake, nasal blockage, nasal drainage, blurred vision, complete loss of vision, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, memory loss, severe skin rash, renal failure, gall stones, kidney stones, bladder stones, rolling stones, degeneration of bone marrow, hemophilia, necrophilia, double vision, double entendre, double negatives, triple sec, cloudy skies and cooler temperatures, fumbles, interceptions, blocked field goals, spin outs, blow outs, camp outs, sit ins, foul balls, swelling of the genitals, shrinking of the genitals, loss of genitals, severe headaches, backaches, stomachaches, heartaches, toothaches, bloody noses, black eyes, staff infection, lyme disease, cholera, encephalitis, bronchitis, endometriosis, halitosis, bromidrosis, and anal seepage. Use only as directed. Stop using immediately if you experience a mild headache or slight dizziness."

:rolleyes:

I'll stick to illegal drugs. They're safer! heh heh heh

Well, you probably wouldn't die unless you spent several hours outside without proper attire and no source of heat. Most of us seem to have managed quite nicely to remain among the living during our infrequent periods of below zero temps.

However, if I had to spend more than a week during the summer where the humidity is higher than the temperature and the temperature is 95 .................... I might just die! d;-)

1. I am going to make my husband and I breakfast sandwiches w/bacon, eggs, pepperjack cheese and mayo.

2. I have traveled to: Texas, Hawaii, New York, Louisiana, Nevada, Arizona, Virginia, West Virginia, Washington D.C., Pennsylvania and New Mexico.

3. The only states left that I would like to travel to are: North Carolina, Washington and Oregon.

4. I met my husband in Hawaii three weeks after I moved there.

5. I love football and I am a Charger fan and a Brett Favre fan.
