  1. 3I think almost all ,my names somethingChris. I finally changed from TransientChris to TravelingChris. .
  2. Had a rough night sleepeise again,5 days till dh leaves. Done Shower and meds Breakfast and more meds Cleaners and asst manager were here fore 4 hours. Kitchen,and great ro9m are clean and neat While 2 were cleaning, I was answering questions, printing papers needed,etc Dh came home, very soon after they left Ate lunch and lunchtime meds To do, maybe take a 20 minute nap call Verizon to put dh on International plan for April cancelations charity tax work who knows?
  3. Even more than 2O. I think I may have found out about the board Vegsource . I had already stopped using Sonlight. I think I joined in 1999 but when did the board start? Ì know i was also on AOL board before WTM. That is where I met a group of life long friends too - a small group of military wives ebo homeschooled then. Ws migrate later to Facebook bur I am not sure how that group went from AOL to Facebook since I know I stopped using AOL as my internet provider - ic that was whar jt was by the 1999. I met almost all of that group and one lives in my metro area and her dh worked in the same agency as mine, after he retired from Army.. He is about to retire earlier than the 67 designated age w SS now. Plus I think you still need 20 years for federal civil service retirement too and he hasn't been in that so long.
  4. @ScoutTN It is a very sad anniversary., Hugs to you I didn't even know it was your school and church @TheReader I'm glad that you enjoyed the tournament. Hope your husband has recovered from the achy Muscles. Congrats to him Still to do Lots of Instacart shopping- home aide cleaners/organizers coming tomorrow and I supply all the cleaning and organizing stuff I also have to have a plan, call Verizon and get dh international plan Cancelations see if I can set up Medical alert system., Who kn0ws?
  5. I just chose Bayside Medical after hearing w/ dh"s concerns were and reading reviews in Consumer Reports.
  6. Dh wanted to watch coverage of this but as I was busy w other urgent matters. I only heard in passing that the ship apparently had an issue also in Antwerp. Belgium but don't know how recently.
  7. I do not have discalculia and am better at doing calculations in my head if I am not foggy than my dh, who is a PhD in physics, However, all my life, I have had problems w lett and right and also lesser and greater. I had zero problems understanding the concept of lesser and greater but I have an extremely low memory for directionality of random stuff, I also have difficulty w sewing patterns and blueprints but what is weird is that I have a superior sense of how to get places and I remember the way from childhood places on. I also don't have any problems reading maps. One of my dd"s, who is dyslexic, did have much bigger problems w/ innate learning how to drive to places at first. With age, she has improved a lot. But her husband, doesn’t remember anything about which direction to turn from our neighborhood for what and he has been here lots of times in the last five years or so, She has a computer science major but found that her great skill in the field is being a tester, not a programmer.
  8. I am very sorry, Tap. I know this weekend will be very hard for you, And loss of a pet and a daughter' at the same time is especially hard. I will be praying for you and please take good care of yourself.
  9. Most people here don't seem to know about weather/climate of the different parts of the US
  10. I am a community notes person on X. I will be doing volunteer work w this probably. I am not ananti- vaccer. Nor am I one who believes good food and exercise is what keeps you healthy- peole getvczncer, autoimunedoseases,etc even w eating. Only so- called healthy food an excersing. Which makes me think about the so called perfectly healthy teacher who ignored symptoms for a few days and then went to the ER. There they found she not only had double pneumonia but also sepsis. To save her life. They hadn't sacrifice her legs below their knees and arms below elbows. Only near the end of the article did it mention she had RA and was on immunosuppressive drug (s). The entire part about her being so healthy was untrue. Anti.vaccers were blaming Covid vaccine when it was her meds, underlying illness, and either her not following doctor's orders about treating any illness seriously when on those drugs or her doctor's fault for not telling her to get treatment immediately--- not wait until you can barely breathe. Last week I challenged a statement made by someone who was following RFKjr ( a known anti c all.vaccines) about how exercis and diet can cure both high blood pressure and diabetes. I said not type 1 diaber4s and not my labile hypertension either. And what that attitude leadsxtonis feeling superior to all of us who do have some sort of , or many, medical issues.
  11. And remember that TT is a Chinese (PRC) company and creating social discourse and generally making people do dumb stuff is all part of the partially Cold partially hot world wae we are in. Our world has changed so much since WWIi, But we still have Axis of evil countries doing all sorts of things on not only us but other allies of ours. I was reading a few weeks ago how the Russians have made fake news sites that can seem legit. They use mispellings, ,names that sound like something either a conservative or a liberal might think it is a new site for people like them. Which is very similar to what they were doing in 2016 election where they announced fake rallies on one topic or another and hoped peoplecwho supported a certain position would also have the con position people too and maybe there would be violence.
  12. Hot shower done Blood draw done and phlebotomist was very kind and let me sit in the non blood draw chair because I am in severe pain and other vhair was too high Off to breakfast out. Oh and yesterday we found out one member of our church.and a good acquaintance, 90 and still shsrp was murdered by a Porsche driver who drove into his car. On much happier bews, we found out that a couple from our church who died naturally recently and again acquaintances of ours donated slightly over 1 milliom to our great botanical garden.

Keep up with all my meds We have tickets the opening of the Huntsville football club, Decide whether i'm going considering It will be raining Use my Walker outside all Day. when going out Since it will be raining.
  14. I don't have time to read other people's resbounces.But I want to tell you that if you had a tick bite, You may actually be having a delayed anaphylaxis Reaction. It would be a reaction to mammal products, And those reactions can happen twelve to twenty four hours later. I'm on heavy meds right now.So can't remember the name exactly but my son has this problem. And they used to think it was only one kind of tick that could carry it.However, they've now found the same problem.Some people in Europe and Asia too. Also, our family also has mast Issues which cause Us to sometimes have a reaction and other times not to have a reaction to items we are allergic to. Basically depends on the load of allergies that day. But. We do get anaphylaxis. And I found out from a doctor who should be getting a nobel price that mast tests are only reliable fifty percent of the time. Plus mast cell issues are linked to POTS and other disautonomias, Sjogren's, Lupus, high altitude issues, and strange osteoporosis or osteopenia too.
  15. I remember all of them and miss them. I I know that one of my daughters knows that I would like you'all to know When I pass away.

  17. Good morning , it's sunny and cold out period. My back started spasming yesterday late afturn on and it's still doing it today.So I really have to be careful not to do things to make it spasm. Also, have a lot of calling to do.. But good things so far today. My husband found my second hearing aid. I made a tasty oameal for my breakfast al9ng w tasty yogurt. Finished watching Day 1 of 'So You Think You Can Dance' and the 2nd episode too. to do call PubliX Re delay in Enbrel delivery, what my Medrol new script says, and did I miss any med refills I missed during 8nsurance disaster Call TARCOG and get the email resent (Google mail seemed to be down for some time yesterday afternoon) Call vascular surgeon read when next appointment is Call homemade places after I receive the email Plan meals Research the Surgeon At UAB.

  18. I already do home meal delivery at times. I know I need home aid even if they aren't mak8ng meals. I can't strip bed, change sheets, carry trash bags from house to my trash can right by my house, I need help sorting my overwhelming clothes piles of out of season, different size clothes, new clothes I bought,. You all have no idea how disabled I am- not visibly disabled lot of the time but I just did regular things like carry a trash bag weighing maybe 8 lbs, carrying a 8 lb gallon of water a very short distance and my back has been spasming like crazy. I can't see well at times. My immune system is attacking my muscles, nervous, joints, eyes, digestive system, exocrine system, and on and on. I actually need a full time helper for a while and then probably a part time one for the rest of my life. But we haven't won the lottery. And now need a nearly 5k repair to replace our 1989 water heater and water pressure piping system.
  19. I remember vegsource. And I do remember you yoo as your old name. Very grateful for SWB!!!! I am sure I did start in 1999 since I know I moved to New Mexico that year and I wasn't on it in our previous post. I had 1 just starting homeschool high school one in elementary school, and one who was 2 at that time. And my dh was traveling all the time.
  20. Yes, so have I. I know my name was Chris something - I lived in NM at that time. And I just thought of the Y2K conversation we had here thos last week. I don’t rememberall my names. I know I was TransientChris for quite a long time. Mwy have been SpaceCoasrtChris but O can't remember the one I had when I started here.
  21. I got a call from the nurse of the shoulder surgeon and got a name of a surgeon who does that kind of surgery at UAB=so l.5 hours away. That was while I was at Publix, getting my Enbrel, and getting some food including an already roasted chicken which we only at half of and can eat again for another dinner. I made the easy dinner of leftover peas, Garlic couscous which takes only 8 minutes with our new induction stove, and fresh multigrain Italian bread with butter. I had a green banana for dessert, I do not like yellow bananas.\ Quest diagnostics really quickly answered my message on X (that is the way to get companies to do what you want) and I have messaged them back with all the particulars of the claim so they do not have to bother me again=just refile. The lady from Tarcog called while I was getting into the car to get my walker fixed, retrieve prescription and go to Publix and get Enbrel and food. I gave her my email address and she was going to send me two different directories of both home aid services and another one which was a directory of all their services. I am having issues with gmail today like it is not loading so I will see in the morning if it is here. I am going to start getting ready to go to sleep- I didn't get enough last night.
  22. And some meds I have to get at different pharmacies because 1) Tricare doesn't cover so 1 med at compound pharmacy one city away, another is at a specialed mail order pharmacy. 2) I use 3 pharmacies in my own city which are fairly close by-- Publix for most, a local chain fir specialized blood thinning shots and lately also one of my bp meds because Publix started using a amall white pill that looked the same as other of my pills also they make my magic mouthwash for when i have mouthsores. I also use CVS because they make the least offensive nystatin rinse.4) I get free overvthr counter meds at the Army Clinic. Plus Ibmay go back to having my lidicaine pain patches come feom there if they don't havevthebinea made in Tenn which are much worse than the ones made un France. 5) Finally I nowchavevtobfig7re out which meds go to Tricare Express Scripts and which to their new specialty pharmacy partner Accredo. .
  23. Yes, I do have that. I have to use levalbuterol because albuterol began to really notcket me sleep so badly that I developed sleep psychosis several times. My allergist who also cares for asthma changed me to it and I can sleep w/it. But there are so many drug shortages. I worry about my dd2 who needs adhd meds for both adhd and a strange type of narcolepsy she has. Plus she inherited from my dh being super sensitive to medications, where we had to hunt forvygr cirrect generic because other ones caused awful side effects or didn't work at all. And while I was okay w my plaquenil during Covid, other lupus and Sjogren's patients weren't so lucky.
