Gawd, you all know I like searching just for the sake of learning. My passion, just as Smarrty's is sewing. Chevy's is gardening. Jazzy's is music. But that search on tinnitus was the boringest search EVER.
Seems like most everyone checked in last night and this morning. Who's missing? Let's hoot them out
YOOOOoooHHOOOTTTTTieHOOOOooooooo Susan, Frenchfrye, Nettie, Teka, Tang, MammaR, Phyliss, 2TA, Jwooohoo, Queenie, Smarrtie, Mommie...I'll add as I remember. Blankity blank pain med is messing with my memory.
Hear2day---MOm aka Chevy has dubbed you Today. That should make for interesting reading. We love humor. Your right, it beats awful down to hell.
Marley, fancy diagnosis. Back awhile we found out allot of us had vertigo and optic migraines. The optic migraines discussion occurred when we were on STFU. The ratio is 1:200 in the general population. We had somewhere around 1:3. Another thing was we had a high number of folks that their furballs alerted or reacted to their boobs before the BC diagnosis. So many I did a survey. I was going to send it to a researcher in England.
I have blondie's return date as the 22nd.
Off to check my housekeeping threads. BBL

Woke up to another hot day. Going to be turning on the a/c in a few. I keep it off as long as I can take it and then on it goes!

Queenie - moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. See if your RO recommends any cream in particular. Mine did, I can never remember the stuff's name, oh yes had to google for it, Xclair. RX only. Got a deal mail order from a pharmacy in FL - coupon from RO. That and Aquaphor. I bought front close bras from Wally World and wore cami's over bra under my scrubs. It worked great and really the bras came thru great even with all those washings. No greasy stains on anything. I bought the aloe vera but never used it. Towards the end esp. as it healed I bought the loveliest calendula cream California Baby from Target but I know health food stores have it. Noticed DH has appropriated my jar in his bathroom lol. It smells heavenly. I just saw some calendula cream at CVS or Walgreens on Friday.
This is the perfect description of how my rads were delivered.

Easy off/easy on clothes. My techs were OK, some better than others. Did respect my modesty and tried to keep me warmer/covered up. I cheated and used a bit of deod. Wouldn't have if I'd had axillary skin problems, my problems were nip area. I wanted a non-jiggly bra and those WW's one did the trick. Not a pretty profile but I cared not. One of the beauties of baggy scrubs.
Report any, any problems to nurse. I let mine go a bit and ended up with Domeboro soaks. As a friend on another thread says - free boob as much as possible. Thank goodness only DH here so I did when I could.
Oh yes Sassy optic migraines. Had not had one in months then 2 weeks ago I had 3. Nothing like trying to read price tags with 1/2 an eye. Both my old optometrist and my glaucoma doc both dismissed then with nary a thought but gl. doc did ask me a question which I think I answered no so I passed the quiz.
Mommy - One of life's major advances is air conditioning. Evidently when I lived in Albuquerque as a child it was a novelty. Of course that is cheaper "swamp coolers" not this fancy refrigerated air stuff.
Jazzy - you just need a chicken coop in your backyard.
Yay my special hemi supp. in at local drugstore. DH has me picking up his repaired tire at Goodyear tomorrow so will wait until then. And my Ed Ames CD comes tomorrow from Amazon. Will have to learn how to play it on the computer. Fancy CD player is in the other room but I could turn it up loud lol.

Chevy, You should tell her about Vashon Island, WA. It's a short ferry ride from Seattle and it is just full of people like her. It's very rural and populated with ex? hippies who have gardens and chickens, etc. Town center is 4-5 blocks long. A good driveway plant is alyssum. It only gets 2 in tall and reseeds. It also smells very good. We would have people stop and tell us how good our roses smelled when what they were really smelling was the alyssum planted underneath.
They were talking about me getting the 18 rads. That was before they found a second tumor that didn't show on anything. When I decided I wanted the mx, I didn't need rads.

Pardon me if this has been discussed. Is anyone watching (?Wren, Mags) the Ken Burns Dust Bowl documentary on PBS? I watched it a couple of years ago and caught most of the 1/2 half last night. I cannot imagine even with our modern knowledge/conveniences living thru that. Heart wrenching about dust pneumonia that killed so many - I think I must have missed part one last time because I sure didn't remember that. Someone else maybe on another thread was watching it a couple of weeks ago so must be on the recent schedules of PBS. It is on again tonight and I sure know where I will be.
News on here - dumping one ton of ice into wave pool at metroplex amusement park. My back porch reads 98 degrees (east facing) at 12:30.
Found this story. Admittedly from 2012 but sure sounds like your description Wren.

Lilgoats! I remember my Mom taking pictures of the Dust Bowl when she lived in Amarillo.... Even HERE...! But the growth explosion helped get rid of all the prairies and grass,weed lands.... Except, I mean for my neighbor...Ha! Their lawn is beautiful.... but anything outside of their yard is just forgotten.
I just bought some curved bricks, to stand up, to divide what I am cleaning up, and her weeds... I'll kind of bury them in, on top of the weed barrier, and then lay the mulch.... That is all after I put the killz all stuff I bought.... I'll take a picture when I am done.... but man, that is HARD to try and pull those tall weeds/slash?"flowers" she planted out there! Some of REALLY has deep roots.... but I'll get out there with my weed chopper-offer! Hah! Damnit!
I get those optic migraines, but no pain! Just can't focus.... not that I ever COULD, but yesterday I didn't get the wavy sparkly lines, like I have before. Doc said it is nothing to worry about considering what all ELSE could go wrong...
Lilgoats.... good advice.... It's like maybe things we say will mean something to someone! That's really important.
Wren, that's funny! I've never known anyone like her.... and she talks real.........slow....... and I'm sitting there waiting........ for her to finish..........a sentence! I could trim my toe-nails before she even says my NAME!

Ms. CHEVY, I am thinking maybe you should get a few goats or borrow LMG's to take care of your neighbor's weeds/wild flowers problem. It's organic and you don't have to waste your energy trying to get rid them( I mean the weed not your neighbor)
0 -
chevy. I guess I missed the part about your neighbors organic weed problem. Isn't it legal there? Cant you just put a sign up : FREE WEED. Surely there are some stoners off for summer break who would gladly pick that yard clean. Ugh that's probably why she talks so sssslllooowww
0 -
Patty, the organic part that Loverly is talking about is manure from the goats. The weeds are not that WEED
0 -
Probably would eat the weeds and roses and anything else you didn't want them to eat. Hmm stoned goats. I think is is time for Goat Videos. Darn I can't get you tube videos to paste any longer.

Oh I know where Peppermint is going with this!!! HAAAAAAaaaaaaaah! GOOD one Miss P.! Yes, I need goats...! I swear when they got the chickens, if I heard Moooooooo's over there, I was going to say something. Goats are good though!
Lilgoats has goats.... I need to borrow hers. You know, some of the "flowers" come up when I pull on them, but that tall-grass is NOT the grass you guys know and love.... Hah! I even went out with our weeder, and it can't cut through the thick clumps of those weeds. I think I'm going to have to work at it a little more, then water it, and then dig them up....
I emailed the city.... asked them what are the rules/ code, about overgrown weeds on their property.... I don't want to "report" her.... just have them drive by, and come to a screetching halt, put on a cop uniform, draw their weapons, and ask her WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING, MISS SPARKLES?" "Come out of that kitchen, drop those muffins, and go get a shovel, you moron!"
They could add.... "Your old neighbor is over there, getting her arms all cut up, running out of breath, and all because you live in the twi-light zone, with your "wild-flowers" ! GET OUT THERE AND PULL A WEED, YOU SLACKER!

I just saw a video on TV of a woman whom was giving birth in the front seat of her car, while her husband kept driving. One might wonder while she is screaming and saying "the baby is coming out" that he might not pull over and help her through that?

luv, Nothing has changed since the 2012 article. Did you catch that the bicycle tree is close to the 2nd 4-way stop? I can't remember if there is a traffic light there or not. If there is, it's only one. My niece lives at the tip on Maury Island. She's working at a brand new restaurant, which is amazing everyone. My sister-in-law bought us dinner there. Getting there is not cheap. The ferry ticket for the car and 3 senior citizens was $25.00. I guess it's not too bad since the return is free.
Chevy, Ask muffin girl if she grew up in Colorado. I'll bet she grew up in a state where they talk real s-l-o-w. When I was a travel agent, I discovered there is no such thing as a 3 min call to Alabama. A simple hotel reservation took at least 5 min.
I read the book about the dust bowl, The Worst Hard Time, and saw at least some of the Ken Burns PBS program. I'll have to check if it's on here. It's going to happen again and perhaps also in California. They are trying to grow things the climate can't support. I grew up in Okla and there is still plenty of dust. My job was dusting the dark wood furniture. Endless.

Tulsa.... She's from OK! Hah! My Uncle talked very slow, and they were all from Texas... My Mom was in a Tornado when she was little....
Bathtub flew out in the yard, but they were all okay.... But Colorado used to be KNOWN for dust storms... in the early 1900's... bout the time I was born...
My B-day is the 31st! I'm wondering if I will FEEL any older than the 42 that I am right now.... Shut UP Spookie! Just go along with me here........... Going to get my drivers license renewed tomorrow.... "hopefully!" I wonder when they say "you're too damn old to drive lady..." ??Man, I would hate to give that up.... So far so good! My older friend Ruthie still drives, and she is 91.... BUT her Daughter is more or less coming to move her back to Missouri to live with them.... And I'm kind of glad... She thinks it's time.... but hates to live her "home"....
I just wish sometimes that things would stay just the way they ARE... I mean like right NOW! Love you gals.... xoxoxo

Sas -- that's what I thought so I usually just go with Meniere's--it's much easier that way. If you want to get even more complicated, my dad has delayed endolymphatic hydrops. Lol.
Roses -- the Hassidic Jew with the chicken was my first thought. Glad I'm not the only one that went there.
Chevy -- thanks for the visual. I'm still laughing. And the fancy code enforcement term for that is "weed abatement" so drop that term around the muffin baker. As for the bucket-licking, not galvanized. More like rusty. Good thing I'm up on my tetanus shot.
Loverly -- so you're not really sane and just bamming the newbies?

Sassy - my reply to your "almonds" is coconuts lol. Where did this come from?

MOI???? I didn't say nuthin'. She's pickin' on me. LOL

lilgoats, almonds, water hungry, grown in California, major crop, rather than do the right thing, more are being planted, likely the government will pay them not to grow instead of just saying the water is turned off. Wren was talking about the dust bowl. And growing things that the climate can't support. Almonds

Gotcha and I was the one that started the dust bowl talk. Shoulda been paying better attention. But talk is CA is in for major rains this winter.
Patty - you under that tornado watch?
0 -
Sas - Monsanto will probably genetically alter them to grow with less water. The feds will subsidize them and even when the GMO's start showing that they're causing cancer, the FDA will protect them because their former attorney is now the deputy commissioner of the FDA.

lilgoats. Its a little above me but I had no idea. Thanks. Really need some rain though
Chevy - funny code enforcement lol. You crack me up. Whatcha gonna do for your bday? Are you already celebrating ? The reason I ask is the sky is so orange right now it looks like it is on fire ! Ithought it might be from ALL those candles on your cake. Lol. Uhh 42 times what ???? O
