Guest guest Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Hey Del, I'm taking 2 tablespoons 4 times a day. I was taking it 3 times a day but my ammonia went UP so she suggested adding a dose. It's only since then that it's gotten this bad. Doesn't taste like anything to me - just very sweet & very thick, I don't like Maple Syrup anyways. Yes, I'm in Canada. Thunder Bay, Ontario to be exact.Look at lake Superior - it looks like a dog's head. Go up where there's an island - the dog's eye - & we're just North of that. Or, run your finger up from Dulith Minnesota along the coast of Lake Superior, we're on the coast about 500 miles north-east from Duluth (I think - it's about an 8 hour drive). Where are you? Sounds like great weather to me. Of course we'll have running water silly, we're not out in the bush - our population's around 100,000.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Just funnin' Del, just funnin' We get cold every year around this time so our pipes are either insulated - indoors - or in deeply dug trenches - outdoors. I grew up here & sometimes forget how cold it can seem to someone from a warmer place. I lived just short of a mile from my junior high school. My Mum made me walk to school, home for lunch, back to school & back home every day unless it was more than 30 below F - then I got to take the bus. If it was 35 below F she let me stay home. The school let kids stay for lunch if they lived more than a mile from school, I just missed out. So I'm used to it Where do you live that a little cold surprises you? I must admit it very seldom gets this cold, at least once a winter, just so we can all say "Cold enough for you?"

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 SuZie Q, you’re doing it so you can remember to communicate with us, your loving friends/family! De #@%* & T^$^ Lactulose Ladies & Gentlemen, Boys & Girls, I HATE LACTULOSE........more like Lactulousy. It gives me lovely stomach cramps & gas from both ends - I swear you could tie me to the back of your row boat & we'd go putt putting across the pond. Remember that marriage to the john? Today I got the ring - thank the gods it's in a place where no one will see it. Why am I doing this to myself? I forgot. It's -25 C right now, wind chill is - 31C - that's 20 below & 30 below Fahrenheit for you Southron folk. They're running a weather advisory saying that it'll get down to a wind chill of -51C (55 below F) freezes exposed skin in seconds. Guess where I'm spending the next few days? Hope you guys are having better times than me tonight. H & K SuZie & SpYke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Nope no thunder or lightning, I'd have liked that. We don't get many thunder storms in winter, I've always wondeered if it's because there isn't enough room for Northern Lights & lightning in the same sky?

I woke up today to a lack of water. MY PIPES FROZE!!!!! I've lived in this house since '97 & NEVER had frozen pipes til YOU mentioned it. I had to peel back some wood paneling & use my blow dryer to melt it & it's all your fault. SuZie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Hey Del, It should be O K now. I spoke to my little brother (he's a plumber, always useful to have a plumber in the family) He says the problem was that the pipe that froze was between the concrete foundation & panelling, so I have pulled the panelling away from the concrete thus exposing the pipe to the warmth of the basement. It shouldn't freeze again (fingers crossed) I still think you had something to do with it, trying to teach me a lesson were you?

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 SuZie, I really shoudn't say this, but I oinestly don't think my HOO dOO DID IT! HEHE. iT IS STILL GOOD TO LET ITHE WATER TRICKLE (MAYBE ONLY IN h-tOWN, BECAUSE THE process of the water changing to ice, cause the ice to swell, thus bursting open the pipes. But, I'm not sure Heat is suppossed to make things expand This happned here one year, but again,,,we4 are nit p0oepared for that. I promise I don't want you to worry or have problems, but....it might not be a bad idea to know where your main water valve is. Good Luck and stay warm. deliman delimansuzie <suzieandsandy@...> wrote: Hey Del, It should be O K now.
