I enjoyed reading about Harriet Tubman again! Sweet little five foot lady toting her gun and doing what was supposed to be done~~~Brave and smart!
Thanks Dita! Hope you had a good day. I had a lot of running to do today and now I am taking it easy.
Snoozing during one’s birthday party means more cake for everyon else... until you wake up in wrathful fork fighting skills vengeance and chase down the offenders in cake devouring glee.
Thanks!
I say lock ‘em up together and sell tickets!
WOOHOO!
Glad you appreciate her, Jaycee. God called her to do a brave thing and she did it. What a woman!
Happy Birthday, DARKSHEARE.
How’re the roses?
Which post are you talking about, Amy?
It’s been a very nice day. I did my running around and am home now too. How’s everything?
Forget post 1729....that was yorkie...not jaycee!!!! Sorry!
First of all don’t take another bath. How old were you when your uti’s started? Where is the pain and how do you describe it?
Everythings okay at present. Weather cooled down again...got down to 58 last night and was cool yesterday. My granddaughter came up yesterday to swim and I told her it was awfully chilly but the water was real warm. The sun had warmed it over the last couple of weeks. I don’t heat my pool as I don’t need anything else that causes trouble!
Google interstitial cystitis; maybe that’s your problem.
CAFFEINE ADDICT'S QUIZ
Do you want to know if you suffer from "Alertness Deficit Disorder" (ADD)? Then just take this simple quiz. These questions will help us to determine whether or not you suffer from this terrible affliction; the only known cure for which is caffeine. ADD takes the lives of millions of Americans, hundreds of Canadians, and a handful of Ugandans every year. If that doesn't scare you, let's just say that you are more susceptible than anyone else. YES, YOU! If you suffer from this disease, missing just one trip to Starbucks could be FATAL. The following series of Yes/No questions will allow us to determine your Addiction Factor(TM). Keep track of the number of Yes and No answers you get and chart yourself at the end. Remember: Prevention is the best medicine. Or was it laughter? Either way, read on.

Don’t take baths—haven’t since I was little and we didn’t have a shower. This started when i was about 20ish, maybe mid 20’s. The way it usually starts, and did this time, is I feel kind of run down, then I wake up with a severe backache that starts between my shoulder blades and spreads down across my lower back. Burning sensation all the time, sometimes that otc stuff that turns your pee easter egg yellow will head it off for awhile. feel like I have to go all the time. The worst part, besides the pain, is it makes me as whiny as a 2 year old desperately in need of a nap. I hate whining.
Thanks—I’ll check it out. Docs just tell me my symptoms are too vague to diagnose. Thanks, doc, for nothing.
Very helpful, not very hopeful. Thanks anyway!
Most of them are doing okay.
Still have 5 to move from the old place.
