Sharon I need to know why is it we Moms know where our stuff is unless someone else moves them but everyone else can't find theirs!! I still haven't figured that one out yet.My daughter says Mom where is this thing?? I just look at her and say I don't wear or use it so I don't know..Hubby is the same way..Thankgoodness Shakey remembers where his things are!!!!!!!

Hey Arlene, don't overdo it. I had one of my

interferon headaches yesterday. My family is in

Galveston for their spring break family reunion. My

in-laws come from New Hampshire,rent a house and

Greg's brothers and sister and their families all come

down. I went for the day and got really sick from the

headache, coming home. It is an hour drive. That was a

REALLY long hour. I always come home at night. In past

years I had to work. Now my excuse is my pets. The

idea of staying with all of those people is too much

for me. I'm from a very small family. Plus I've always

enjoyed the week to myself. Now that I'm not working I

have less of an excuse not to go down there. I did

make drs. appointments for 2 days this week, so I can

have those alone. As soon as I got there yesterday

kids were asking me where stuff was. They don't seem

to understand that since I wasn't there when they

unpacked, I wouldn't know. I'm mom and I knoe where

everything is. Does anyone know why mom's are supposed

to know this? They treat us like we're stupid until

they need something.

Oh well I've gone on long enough and I'm going to go

read the paper now.I have to head to Galveston soon

with all the stuff they forgot to take. I'm coming

home early though.

Everyone have a great day.

Your supposed to know where everything is even if

Sharon....... Of course I overdid it....... I always tend to overdo things

when I'm feeling OK or when I don'[t get enough sleep---as was the case this

time!!

I hope you're enjoying the reunion & time to yourself (like a vacation when

you can get time to yourself) I don't have kids & don't have many visitor's

either(lost most of our friend's when I got HepC) But we have found good

friends with the GWTA! And of course we still have a few friends left but

most live too far away-in Portland-

Some are making the move out here to Rainier as it's such a peaceful nice

town & not too mucch criminal activity ( except when the thiefs come over

across the river from WA. They tend to stay off our street-- They know

there's a crazy lady that lives @ end of road armed with weapons & mean nasty

bad-ass dogs<g>!!!!

I'm hoping by tomorrow I'll be feeling a lot less achy(mostly back & muscles

I had'nt used in some time!! But fortunately my RUQ hasn't been bothering me

for almost 2 days!!

Jan--- I tried the sleep aids -Rx's- both Friday

& Saturday to no avail!! Took 42 hours being wide awake- just

to sleep 3 hours-- but made up for it somewhat last nite -got a whopping

13-14 hours in 2 sleep times I feel quite a bit better- but am achy

from doing the firewood thing Sun. early evening--kinda pushed it loading

truck- then unloading it - then stacking it!

I did it in record time as it was raining

@ the time so got a full size P/U -8 ft bed fully loaded,unloaded

- etc in about 1 hour!!!

yes carrots & lots of oranges(I practically lived on oranges & avocadoes too)

We had about 8-10 Orange trees- a tangerine tree-- & 4 grapefruit trees & one

lemon tree + 17 avocado trees @ my folks place(where I grew up)!

Oddly enough my headaches subsided during treatment. I

have long suffered from migraines, and they were

horrible in the first couple of weeks on treatment,

but through the remainder of the treatment I suffered

less from migaines than normal. After I quit I was

having them frequently again. I seem to be doing ok

now. Normally I only get them about once a month or

so. -dz-

My wife tells me that since ending my treatment, as my

hair is thickening again, it's less gray than it was.

Of course, like your wife, I don't think she knows for

sure what color her hair is right now..

I guess one of the nice things about being a man is

that society allows us to grow old gracefully. Women

are expected to keep looking like they're in their

20's .. -dz-

I'm the same way. I don't really need them for

reading, although I do have bifocals. I keep mine by

my chair and I only put them on when I'm perusing the

onscreen tv guide, so I can read what's on. I don't

yet have to wear them for driving, but I'm wondering

about the next time I renew... To read anything

(including street/hiway signs) from a distance I need

them. -dz-

This is GREAT news. My dr. preferred I quit dying my

hair because they're not sure what the chemicals do to

the liver. I've been covering the gray for years so it

was pretty traumatic at first to see it turn gray.

Maybe it will fall out and come back not so gray.

That seems true. I believe my wife has a photograph of

our house in her mind. She amazes me sometimes when I

ask her if she's seen something. " it's in the bedroom

on the dresser next to the tv " I would never remember

details like that. -dz-

That's good. I try to limit my salt intake as well.

Some people will argue that salt cooked in the food is

better for you than just poured over the food after

cooking, but I'd rather do without it. It didn't take

me long to get used to unsalted food. I suppose you

ate a lot of unsalted carrots? (to get so

far-sighted?) -dz-

I always tell Floyd he's a Smart A..........

[Guest guest]

I get migraines too...I hurt sooo bad when they hit me too...

[Guest guest]

You got that right Dave..I told Floyd I WAS NOT HAVING szurgery till my nails and hair were taken care of cause I was not going to look like an old nag!!

[Guest guest]

I need my glasses for both..Then I complain when I get a headache when I don't wear em!!!

[Guest guest]

I have a photo of mine in my old mind that's for sure..

[Guest guest]

Oh no!!!!!!! I could not stop coloring mine!!! Chemical reaction or not I'm not stopping..If I stop coloring I stop going outside too!!!!!

[Guest guest]

My family had to listen to me rant and rave for weeks

but I just quit looking in the mirror. Between the

gray, the weight loss and the dark circles under my

eyes I stay away from all mirrors. Luckily I have to

take my glasses off to put on make-up so I can't see

until it's on.

Jan----- no I'm not on tx(my liver is too far gone for any tx).....but

I have all the same sides as people on tx---I just have to think positive

& be stubborn about how I feel....... I haven't been oustside since

Sun.- weather is too nasty & wet.... & I haven't been feeling real

great either since going all that time w/o sleep & rest...so I've been

resting quite a bit-- trying to get some energy back....

I guess I'll have to get used to them eventually. Now

half the time I leave one pair at work. I have 3

pairs, all slightly different prescriptions, but they

work. It's hell getting old! -dz-

Well, I made it to the gym again. I have been getting

a good enough workout blowing snow for the past

several days. I did some cardio and I'm not quite as

out of shape as I had feared. I hope to lose 20

pounds. -dz-
