I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

Blue - that darned Virg - worms!!!  I hear they can get them all through life but usually I've only seen it in puppies - I wonder if it was that bone.

Sorry to hear about your scoliosis - hope that helps them make a diagnosis and you can be pain free soon.

Bren - glad you got in touch with Barbara - I can understand her worry about privacy (I cancelled my FB a year ago).  Good that you might get to see her in the fall - maybe you'll get a break from leaf blowing.

Kam - hope all surgery goes well. Think you are VERY WISE with BRCA2 to get rid of all that "inner stuff" - also hope you love your new foobs.

YEAH, Virgil - but worms, yuck!  

Blue - hope your back starts feeling better soon.

Understand Barb's privacy concerns -think learning that BCO was using some of the posts on other websites was the "straw" for me.  Too many very unhappy "former" posters - sad, I deleted most of mine. PITA - but worth it.

Mary, it's interesting the power the Tealiban give him, then they turn around and say he hasn't done anything. Can't have it both ways, a$$wipes!

I think they have learned that no matter how silly and far out the stuff they make up is that some folks will believe it anyway.  So they fling stupid sh*t just to see if it will stick somewhere.  Like in the empty spaces in some people's heads

Glad to hear that Barbara is OK and working on a better job situation. 

Kira ... sorry about your storm damage.  Are you still getting stormed on?

They believe whatever they want to believe - they lie whenever they want to lie.  And they call US crazy!!!

Kam:  good luck on your surgery.

Blue:  Back pain is so debilitating.  I've watched my father suffer for so many years.  Hoping for some relief for you.

So now the Dems are manipulating the weather. Good grief.  I write fiction, and I'd never write anything this nutty.

So, had my job interview today.  Showed up only to find out that it had been set for another day with different people - higher ups.  Hope it's a good sign. 

Blue...I have never taken prednisone long term.  My son had it for several weeks once, and he gained some weight that he has since taken off.  But, I had to give it to my highly allergic dog for years.  It resulted in serious weight gain with him.  I believe the side effects also include depression, among other things.  If it could give relief, though, that would be wonderful. 

Kam....hope I am not too late wishing you well. 

Hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes, but I think R. Limbaugh should step on a very rusty nail, maybe a railroad spike....and be allergic to tetanus like I am.  Would't get as many laughs though if he were out of commission.  I can't believe adult people say those things with straight faces.  

Athena...I'm with you.....I'd be rolling in the aisle laughing -- good thing I wasn't in front of the merry Mr. L.

Hope you all had a wondrous day......good luck on your job interview Alexandria.

Jackie

oops....forgot to say....hope you find something to give you relief soon, Blue.

Blue - don't know about prednisone, but I wanted to let you know that my gf that tried acupuncture (first time a few weeks ago), that I mentioned to you, is continuing to get relief from her two treatments.  Her husband is a surgeon (so she is informed of all of the various possible treatments) and she tried everything else before going there.  She is crossing her fingers that it will continue to work.

I've decided to leave on my trip at noon, rather than 6 am, tomorrow, so I'm still working a bit and reading this thread. HL - my fourth surgery too in 8.5 months! I'm constantly amazed how long this darn BC takes to treat.

If the weather weren't enough of a story, how about the "I shop at Costco and these 3 shirts...."  Pretty soon that will be for the elite, so nice try Nitt.   I keep wondering if it's worth my membership as I look at cost-cutting measures. 

I'm not sure what the shirts from Costco means, but I can tell you that the founder of Costco is a huge Obama supporter. He lives here in the Seattle area and hosted a big fundraiser for Obama last month.

I'm glad you like how it looks, Yorkie- that's the most important part.

Tealiban - that's the best one I've heard in a very long time.  Never have heard RL - don't even know if a station  here carries him.  Full Disclosure - I listen to NPR. Only station - either classical music, or news.  Kinda like my cocoon, choir, whatever ya wanna call it.  As that wonderful line from The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe, written by Jane Wagner for her partner Lily Tomlin says: " I tried reality, but as a lifestyle I found it too confining."

So I read Nate Silver ( 538 polls) and none of the others.  

Still remember when a certain VP of the USA was telling us that "sadam hussein was responsbile for 9/11" - and that "Iraq definitely had WMD" - interesting theory, that one about say it often enough and some will think it's true.  Dangerous as a governing policy, but they seemed to get away with it.

Has anyone heard what Pat Robertson said about the weather?  Seriously, tho, hoping all in the path of this are safe, and will be safe.

Thanks, Athena. I know I am probably vain, but I really needed to feel more normal again.

Oh, Kam, "The Newsroom" is a MUST-SEE! I am now experiencing severe anxiety because the next season won't start until June 2013! I would give up "Grey's Anatomy" for "The Newsroom." I cry at almost every episode. It is AMAZING!
