how about drinking?

Good morning, Loungettes! I had a wonderful sleep in, and am looking forward to a day puttering around the house. Maybe even taking a walk with Sadie later. Maybe.

Goldie--Don't hesitate to offer advice, I can do really well for everyone but myself! I've got an appointment for blood work next month, will ask if thyroid is on the list. It was last time and it was normal, but it can't hurt to check again. And I think some NO PUTERS time is a good thing! Enjoy!

Welcome, Adey! Do you have your AARP card yet? It is amazing how many places have discounts when you have an AARP card!

Cammy-=-I love Halloween decorations, too, went into the local Wally World to look at them, found them all taken down and CHRISTMAS decorations going up! WTF???????

Raku--There's been lots of MaryJane fumes here in the lounge, what's the code word for that here???? I forget. Oh, yeah, Willy. Every thread here on the boards has it's own personality, it pays to lurk a while before posting. Sometimes it takes a bit of searching to find a thread that matches your personal beliefs and practices.

DorKable--remember how I got sucked in thinking that Stella was a real person you worked with? If it wasn't so funny (and I wasn't so drunk) I'd've been embarrassed!

Raku--HTL stands for Hot Tattie Lounge, the name of our dwinking (drinking) spot. It's a totally imaginary, absolutely wonderful place. So what is Raku? Sounds like some sort of pottery technigue, but I can't figure out how you'd get wall hangings out of that! Not sure about the drink names, but I'll see what I can find out.

Wahine--I hates it when the post gremlin gets one of us! Such a pain in the anatomy when that happens! Grapefruit affects one of the enzyme pathways in the liver that the liver uses to metabolize toxins (aka, medications). In the case of tamoxifen and certiain heart medications grapefruit interferes with the metabolism, so the active form is never made in enough volume to do any good. Tamoxifin and many heart drugs are actually "pro-drugs" meaning that the form in the pill doesn't do anything, the liver has to metabolize it into an active form for the drug to do any good. Tamoxifen is inert in the body, but the liver metabolizes it to endoxifen witch binds with estrogen receptors and turns them off (estrogen binds with the receptors and turns them on).

Cammy--to put your stripper name on the bottom of your post here's what you do.
1. Go to the top of the page, the very top, and click on "My Profile"
2. At the top of this new page click on "settings"
3. Scroll down to the "signature:" item. It's almost at the very bottom, it is just above the grey box labeled "Diagnoses"
4. Click on "edit"
5. Type in your stripper name, or whatever you want to show up as your signature. Remember, this will show up as your signature for EVERY post in EVERY thread you post in.
6. Click on Save.

I think this will work, if not, my apologies.

Mema--while I understand the first thought at hearing about an enlarged node is "mets" remember that lymph nodes enlarge whenever they are helping to control and infection, inflammation, or other bodily injury. The axillary nodes collect drainage from the chest, back, neck and head area. I've gotten enlarged axilary nodes from a sinus infection before.

Juliet--when another one of us develops a reaction to a hospital cleaner or other chemical I always wonder what is happening to all the patients stuck in the rooms and beds getting exposed to that stuff over and over again when they are already sick. . . .

CynCyn--the most common form of allergic reaction is an acquired one. The body starts responding more and more strongly to a substance that it is exposed to over and over again. Most people who are allergic to bees, for instance, did not react the first time they were stung. Latex allergy almost always comes from repeated exposure. Hospitals stopped using latex not because of patient safety, but because of the cost of providing nurses and other workers who developed allergies to it over time with cotton gloves to wear under latex gloves, and the cost of treating serious reactions when an employee got the wrong kind of gloves. It was cheaper in the long run to switch overt to non-latex gloves, and remove the powder in the gloves. It was the powder that was puffed into the air and then inhaled whenever the gloves were put on that was the major culprit.

NM.....about the grapfruit deal...the only med Im on that mentions not consuming it in excess is my lovistatin (sp) for choloesterol....should I not consume it on Tammy either?  I checked the bottle and it doesnt say not to...

All my pics are small camera phone shots etc and have people in it that I do not want to post everyone is so quite today

Actually, I goofed earlier.  TAmoxifen and grapefruit juice get along fine.  Tamoxifen and statins to lower cholesterol do not play well together.  The combo causes and increased risk of liver and muscle damage.  Sorry for the misinfo.  I must remember to double check my memory before writing things!

Principal ends up red-faced in flap over sixth-grader's pink mohawk

Cynthia Frost seems to be picking the wrong battles. The principal at Clifty Creek Elementary School in Columbus, Ind., told Trevor Foster he couldn't try out for the basketball team until he lost the pink mohawk he wore to support his mother, who is receiving treatment for breast cancer. A Facebook campaign and pushback from the school board prompted Frost to relent and apologize, including asking Trevor to help organize a school fundraiser for breast cancer research. Trevor said it helped, but this reportedly isn't the first time she's targeted the 11-year-old student. Last year, she had him give up his "I Love Boobies" bracelet and turn a pink shirt inside out, said Trevor's dad, Tamage Foster. [Source]
