OMG They Found the Cure for Stupid

I happen to think its more than caffiene unless shes been smoking it with a couple of additions.ha-ha. You all have been busy today...and I Can be serious when I want to be,I was being really serious today at chemo when I almost called my least favorite nurse an ass-wipe. Such a bad attitde. Why would you want to be a nurse when you just cant be nice to people?

Chevyboy

Now Mary.... the last time I smoked was in 1964.... You can't smoke with these lungs... Ha!   And I was too afraid to try anything else when I was a kid.... I think I still would be....  I mean afraid to try it now. 

I would be afraid it would do "things" to my mind.....  I mean something I couldn't control....   I had amnesia once when I was a kid... well 16, and a brain concussion, and I just couldn't get my mind to working for about 8 hours.... I think that scared me into never wanting to try grass, or even pain pills... And I've never been drunk..... Been around THAT too many times to know it is not one of my favorite things....

Alyson, could you ask any coffee-shop to make you a double espresso?  And do they have to peel you off the walls after you drink one?  I mean a cup of my Dad's coffee, who lived in San Francisco, kept me awake for DAYS.   I could take 1 teaspoon of his coffee, and make a full pot!   And he drank it at NIGHT!!!   He made a pot to last 2 days.  I went to McDonalds with my Brother, when we only had Dad's coffee to drink.... Ha!

Alyson

Chevy, yes most will do that. Trouble is here I drink what we call a long black, which is a double espresso with a little water. Long blacks in US are what you could drink, long and very weak - we call them Americanos. Before BC I used to drink about 10 cups a day!!!! And I have never smoked but do like a little wine.

Mary some nursing staff can be so rude and I have no idea why, maybe next time you should ask what the problem is. Have found being 'really nice' can also work.

Anyway this old chook needs her coffee.

Dh drinks his coffee like your dad did, chevy. He drinks it all the time, I mean 24-7 since he quit drinking 13 years ago. and you know I was just kidding about the other., although I have to admit I tried it as a kid. Hated every minute of it too. I know these days its no big deal, so I feel fortunate that none of my kids ever did it either. I have three sisters and a brother and one time somebody came into the house and dropped a joint. Well my dad found it and decided if it was so good he would try it. He was remodeling a boat at the time, and after awhile Dad disappeared and no one could find him. We finally found him in his boat in the backyard eating a pbj sandwich and smacking his lips. I dont think he ever tried it again either.

Mary - if you PM me that nurse’s name and phone number I'll call her boss anonymously and give some constructive feedback. I was a nursing supervisor for many many years, and trust me, I know JUST how to phrase things to protect the innocent and rehabilitate the guilty. It kills me to think of you getting chemo and being treated less than royalty. She has no right to be working in infusion therapy.

Dang Chevy, you don't look a day over 21 to me! Hope I'm looking that good in 17 years when I'm your age! What's the magic to aging gracefully? Puffing on that aspara-grass again?

PS Chevy... just love your avatar! Reminds me of my favorite cat who used to do that (straddle fences, furniture, pony walls). Just had to have her put down a couple months ago after she had a seizure. Here I'm recovering from mx/recon surgery, not easy to pick items off the floor and hubby (no DH about this one!) would wake ME from nap or sleep to pick her up to get her to the food/water bowls and litter box! Geez, what's his problem? Poor cat couldn't go more than a step without plopping down on the floor, poor thing. OMG, stoo-pid!

Chevyboy

So 2nd.... You mean dick-head, right?    Can I say that?   He WAS that....  !  I would have done it for you....  We don't have a cat, but we have our "other Daughter".... Lacee!    She is only 9.... a little fuzz-ball, and the sweetest personality.... she loves every THING, and everybody. 

We had our first dog, "Chevy".... He was "our guy".... At 14, the same thing.... I finally had to carry him to the car, to the Vet's, and walked in and put him on their table.... I held him while they put him to sleep.....  It was sooooooo hard....  He just got so old and crippled, and couldn't hardly stay on his feet either....  

You are in Southern Ca?  My folks lived in the Bay Area ever since we got married... almost 56 years ago....  My favorite memories were showing my 2 Grand-sons around Fisherman's Wharf, and Alcatraz, and eating clam chowder....   They are MUCH older now, but they remember it also! 

Okay gals....  have a fun night.....xoxoxoxo

 shell, thanks so much, but already called my oncs. office about her when I got home. He is the head of oncology at the hospital and doesnt take anything off his employees. Ive been dealing with these people for five years, and they know me well. Actually I have been on the wrong side of his bed a time or too (for lack of better words) and it wasnt pretty. He makes you want to crawl under a rock when he thinks you're not doing something right.

Chevy... thanks for "DH" - that describes him exactly (yes, you're right there, didn't think of that). Almost peed my pants on that one.   Yup, did the same for my Callie (she was 13, I guess that's a ripe old age, in cat years) except that they let me hold her on my lap, held her on the table till she drew her last breath... Funny thing, after mx on Halloween no less, she wouldn't leave my side or my lap. Like she had to guard me till she thought I was well enough to be on my own. Hey wait a minute, this isn't the crying thread.....  Change subject and quickly!

So Cal, yup. Grew up in OC (we didn't call it THE OC back then), college in San Diego, returned to OC after college. Married and moved inland a bit. Around here, it's referred to as the IE (Inland Empire).  Sight of the Dorner shootings not too far back..... They kept showing a bridge around the corner from DD's high school, glad she graduated last year. Oh, but then, the Cal State Fullerton shootings back last summer - she lived across the street from there then.  Almost messed my undies when that happened. She keeps telling me she doesn't need to let me know she's ok (only hear from here to say she's coming home for dinner and to use my kitchen to bake). 

My DH (love your def) had an aunt and uncle in Holly, CO. Anywhere near you?

Get some rest!

proudtospin

sas-schatzi

OKAY>>>>>>> MOTHER CLUCKERS......STOP THE PRESSES.........CINNAMON STICKS CAN BE SMOKED!!!!

Said I would try, thought there might be a problem when I was standing looking in the microwave saying " WHAT". Then got to the spice cupboard and it had two sticks. Chose the long one.. Lit one end and did puff. Too hot. Next try...Light the end, let it burn until it was smokin out both ends,  then puff. Tastes GOODDDDdddd. After several puffs, didn't notice anything , but my mouth tastes reaaaaaaaaaaallllllll good. AND i'ma thinkin the house smaell's realllll good.  Makes my cigarette taste real bad. AH HA the new cure for cigarette smokin is CINNAMON smokin. Honest I only had 2 1/2 glasses of wine with dinner. IT's really VEGGY's influencing me cuz she affected my brain with her SINNING in the recliner.

ROFL Shell! She deserves one. Too bad you can't just order one up, like a pizza.

Since I've only jumped into this thread recently, probably something good: but, duh, scuze my ignorance: what else DO you DO with cinnamon? Bakes great cookies, but the other SPECIAL uses? Suggestions pls... Need some after the week I've had...

Shellshine, you just crack me up!

We do the same thing that we do with asparagus and mushrooms. You need to wear your tin foil hat and keep away from the basement door. Have plenty of paper towel on hand always be searching for the cure guy.

Ok, check. No probs with the foil hat, paper towels or searching. But we don't have basements in CA. So, keep away from the attic crawl space...? Or jump 3 times when the next earthquake hits?

Alyson

Yum I love cinnamon.

Love this
