good morning all
cooee and g'day from me. home again, home again...{{hugs}} sprite
morning gang
welcome home, darling :) How are you today? How is the foot and are you back from work or from the doctor?
morning worzel. xxx
hello worzel
sprite spent the dayon the bed, both feet elevated, high compression stockins on. no work. back from doctor. feet 1/4 of what they were. going for an echocardiogram, blood tests, and off to see my cardiologists once i have all the results in hand.
morning sprite morning Mum ((hugs)) I not in a good mood today. As you know I'm out of work and only have my pushbike as a means to try and locate work but some toad last night decided to whip it from right outside my front door! How rude is that?
oh, no!!! the rotten fink!!
Yep, rotten is the polite word that I used lol
good work, rose. Let me know how it works out. Am a little worried about those feet of yours. *hugs*
sorry about your bike, worzel
that has to e as low as anything i have heard since forever. you poor man....
ty sprite x
* be *
Gotten me in a real downer too. Still, life goes on - you have to laugh - and all that!!
don't see any reason why you should laugh when your bike gets stolen. Being angry is the healthy thing there.
i know, m ate. and you have every right to be down-hearted. such a mean thing to do.
There's no point being too angry really. I live in a rough shite-hole, if you'll pardon the language. Nobody around here can be trusted - it's just the way this city works. It's always had a bad name, Liverpool, and now I know why
Not that I'm bitter much lmao
brb, don is awfully quiet...going to check up on him.
amsterdam is just the same.
if they are quiet, they are up to no good, rose. Go check quickly :D
Plus I had to go and choose yesterday of all days to give up smoking after 27 years. I dunno - just when me stress levels are at their highest lol. Still, the way I see it is at least I'm alive. I was gonna say they can't take that from me, but knowing Liverpool and it's knife and gun culture . . .
okay. he's ferreting around in the wardrobe in the spare bedroom. i don't know why, and i don't WANT to know why. * sigh * how am i supposed to rest, with feet up, when he won't do the chores waiting to be done.
just let go, rose. He will get to them in his own sweet time. No need to remind him every 6 months ;)
ugh, worzel....you are down....but that's okay....* hands wor a lager * wrap your laughing gear around that, mate
oo-er Mum - bit early for me to start drinking it's only 8am here! Mind you I don't really drink much anyway, but the thought is exceptionally kind, as always. I'll save it for tonight xx
be a bit flat by then. will open a new bottle later, dear.is it ever too early for a lager?
don has emerged, and along side of me on the bed seem to e a 1000 camera bits and pieces. sprite, can i come over to your place, please??
It is for me - i'm not really a lager man. I don't like much refinery in life, but if anything I'm a brandy man - not the cheap tat neither lmao. Which is why I only really go on a drinking spree about once every 4 or 5 years when I've either saved for a special occasion and decide to drink at least 1/2 the bottle
always, rose, always. Just ask him when he has planned to do the chores.
okay, wor. * shrugs shoulders * brandy it is....so long as there is a nice single malt somewhere nearby for me....lol
deffo! We'll have a party and get totally rat-arsed, as they say over here!
errrr, we use the other end....s**t-faced....lolol
We use that one too. Oh you gotta love the euphemisms for getting drunk!
yeah, like pie-eyed...i mean ...for goodness sake...where does that come from?
or 3 sheets to the wind?
or under the weather?
or p*ssed as a fart lol
anyway . . .
lol..a friend of mine used to be horrified because they found blood in his alcohol stream.
lol rose
that's shocking - what a waste of a good stream of alcohol!!
funny how pissed can mean an6 and drunk
and we also say nissed as a pewt....lolol. i remember once, my eldest was so drunk, he told his friends to take him drunk, i'm home again...lol
anyway I'm gonna dash off for today as I have a very long walk to get to the job centre. I will bid you all farewell and I do hope you all have a wonderful day/eventide wherever you may celebrate it xx
we say 'I am not so think that you drunk that I am"
good luck jobhunting, worzel
will be thinking of you, mate
ty sprite ty mum xx ((hugs)) xxkissesxx and *poof*
as* you drunk
lol, yeah i love that one too, sprite
but then in dutch, of course, grin
I tried to find the etymology for pie-eyed, rose, but it is as unclear as being drunk, lol. Best explanation is it refers to a vacant stare. Both used for drunk and for wide-eyed.
maybe it's because your eyes become unfocused when you're drunk. and unblinking..
yeah, vacant stare, empty eyes, no brain behind them, hence something round and flat and empty... like a pie before decorating. Weird one, anyway.
final session with my therapist today, rose. Saying goodbye... weird idea after all those years. But will continue seeing here at family constellations.
how are you feeling about that sprite. i am betting there may be a few tears shed.
yeah, it is rather a dual feeling, lol. I am proud and happy about it. And also a little sad.
but that is ok, I think it is normal to be a little ambivalent about it. And normal is what we went for, lololllll
as you should be proud and happy. look at how much you have achieved. of course having a good counsellor to guide you is a plus. but it takes a lot of courage and sheer perseverance to achieve what you have done.
I couldn't have done it without her. But yes, it was hard work and traveling back to mental health takes a lot of courage.
i'm proud of you. you deserve a gold medal.
*hugs* Thanks darling. It is a good feeling.
oh lol I have a new babble dictionary word. To gentify - have a gender change.
lol, nice one
:D I tried it first, it so looks like a real word. Too bad we cannot link it to that R
strange!! that was what i was thinking...* sigh * no more original thoughts for me...i'll just sit here and let you do all the thinking for both of us...
roflol. You are a sister of my soul, darling... whaddaya expect?
it just feels so weird having what you are thinking typed into chat while you are thinking it...
true. But it also makes me feel so close to you :)
to quote patrick swazy(sp)...ditto
hehehe one of my favorite movies, Ghost. I soooo love Whoopy.
fireflies. I am off, darling rose. Must still write a goodbye letter to my counsellor. *hugs* and sleep well, and stay off those feet even when Don doesn't do what you want him to. My love to pugs, if you should see her.
WTG SPRITE!!! hope your appointment isn't tooo heart wrenching. but as you said, you will be seeing her at family constellations.
Hi all :)
hey liz
Hi Rose - all's good here. Just home.
all good here too. just a little on the cool side, though.
Predicting frost for tonight - not liking that.
i can imagine...you should of stayed where it was warmer...
Ah well. At least the stress is gone.
how did the 'test' go?
Good - lots of waiting around. Have irregular GOJ apparently. I guess you understand the letters. Even have photo! But could see nothing sinister at all.
ahhh, that make sense. as you say, nothing sinister. when do you get to talk about the results?
Next week or the week after. Doc spoke to me immediately after. Said couldn't see anything that could be the cause. Will send full report to the GP
I thought of you with all the pre / post -op nurses there.
okay. and do you feel okay now? did you have a nice sleep?
i was there in spirit, dear.
I feel fine now - slept well. Your email was good and i talked about the last anaesthetic I had. It was only 5 - 10 minutes I reckon. Had good snack after!!!
yeah,,,our girls always bring a glass of iced water with all the goodies. for me, it was like nectar.
yes - salad sandwich, water, coffee, fruit and jelly but I'll still be ready for dinner!
trust me, liz, it was a little longer than that....probably closer to 25 minutes.
what?? no makka's on the way home??
Really don't think so. Out of waiting room at 4 for chat with anaesthetist etc. Only went in at about 4.10. Awake at 4.25!
No makkas! Not my fav food!
Love that there was a big clock on the wall!
that was quick then.
Also told my bp was perfect - 119/77!
They said it'd be about 5 mins.
whoa, how good is that!
Bit higher after food - 127 / 79
But was bored by then and wanted to go home!
yeah, and the drugs would have worn off as well.
True. Lovely hubby not only waited there for me, he also fasted with me!
nice to have that support isn't it?
:)
And the support of friends. Like I said, your e mail and one from sprite were awesome.
glad to help you, hun
Same - if I can in any way.

tc phae
well, the crisis was smoothed into a non crisis.
it's that venus and mars thing.
and you have two nice clean rooms, right?
my problem is, no matter how carefully I try to clean, the last 30 minutes always devolve into a mad "stash and dash" and I can't find ANY of it later
yes i do! and a terrible stomach ache and a couple of lbs. lighter!
oh no, i do that as well! like i purged a couple lbs. of magazines and such and everything is clean but the coffe table!
so i cannot come into the room and see everything i've done, it is sticking out like a sore thumb!
oh, I know THAT feeling well!
if i laugh i will be sent to the pb today. so lol
goodness, you are right! I think I have to do a lap in there...
the scottish laighing fence
I don't love the feeling, at the end of the day, that I didn't accomplish much....

Restarting the server. We'll be back online in a few mins.
Is this thing on? (taps microphone a few times)
Hi
hi
I hear you1
Ok. Good. No one was chatting, which makes me nervous. I just wanted to make sure the chat log wasn't broken by the server restart somehow.
small grids, scant chat.
it is working great
I was just busy in the grid
I guess we're just a quiet group this morning !
me too kje.
Hi hego and kje :-)
hi Diane

LOL
I think we all had that one. :)
Just realized Dr God is in the pb. haha

hego .. is hegone
hi ruru.. i must be hegone too.. bbl .. happy babbling
bye aloy
I'll stay!
Oh good, then Ru doesn't have to get all sniffly and check his deodorant.
I considered that
I was just reading about this doofus that posted on line a spreadsheet of all the times and reasons his wife refused to have sex with him
Hmm. An accounting of abstinence.
The internet has become a vehicle of shameless self-promotion
Or in that case, self-degradation
Maybe that guy should get sniffly and check his deodorant.
I think he should look in the mirror and see what's different about himself
My guess is that a guy that dim has never stopped to consider that HE is the problem
yeah..that's what I concluded too
Yeah. Like step away from the computer and spreadsheets and pay attention to your wife.
I'm also guessing that Mr. Spreadsheet, um...doesn't know how to show a woman a good time, if you get my drift
The wife is the one that posted it online.
what..? The article said he did
he made the spreadsheet and emailed it to her. She posted it online
Oh well. So much for a resolution there.
Either way, why tell the world?
that makes it even funnier jess
Clue for Ar7, please?
yep
ms. funicello in Italian judi
Ty.
judi is old enough to get that clue .. amazing
I plead re-runs of the Mikey Mouse Clup.
*club*
oh sure
And Gidgette movies.
And orange juice commercials.
oh sure
Oh no. That was Anita Bryant.
orange juice was Anita Bryant
I am quite happy to admit I remember Ms Funicello in the original films.
it was just a little before my time.. but I remember her..
I remember the Dumb Beach movies.. with Frankie Avalon etc
We Brits had our versions with Cliff Richard in them
"Oh, Moon-doggie!"
Judi has an Annette/Sally Field/Anita Bryant mish mash going on
I was thinking the same thing
They could be clones
she probably thinks Brittany Spears was the flying nun too
Let's all agree to coddle her...
Ru, you should not use Brittany Spears and nun in the same sentence
Nun of the Above?
Last word. Need clue for ni5/10.
Add 2000 pounds
ni + 2000 pounds
Uhg! Thank you. Fireworks!
Yep. I remember re-runs of The Flying Nun, Nanny and the Professor, Hazel, etc. etc.
The Ghost and Mrs. Muir.
The Courtship of Eddie's Father, any one?
LOVED the Courtship of Eddie's Father.
Ah yes, thank you Mrs. Dylan's Mother
:)
Trying to remember who was in the movie version of Courtship of Eddie's Father. I think Ronnie Howard played Eddie.
Glenn Ford maybe?
You have a good memory Judi
Just Googled. I'm right! Damn, Ruru. You're right. I am old.
Good Morning, Everyone.
The Ghost & Mrs. Muir was a movie too.
Oh look, it's Mrs. Ronald's Grandmother
Jean Tierney and Rex Harrison!
I'm old too; since I remember those movies on the big screen (which cost less than a dollar back then). I don't remember the TV shows so much; we always had to watch whatever my Uncle had us turn on (mostly news and Hogans Heros, thinking back on it)
I'll take Edward Mulhare as the ghost any day
Hi, Nef. You've got me beat.
Interesting title, Molly.
Off I go. See y'all tomorrow! *POOF*
Nef. on The Courtship Of Eddie's Father, the nanny called Bill Bixby Mr. Eddie's Father
Ahhh. I guess that was a TV show?
Yes, the nanny was Japanese, it was a funny running bit.
I'll have to Google it sometime then. However, Ronald is now telling me it's time to play; so I guess I need to go again. We saw the Play "Cinderella" (Rodgers and Hammerstein version) on Thursday night; and he has us constantly putting it on over and over and over and I'm starting to not like it anymore!
BUT it's better than The Avengers; so I should remember that! BBL!
I was infatuated with that movie when I was a kid.
HA 6/27 please?
Not loving
TY
I have 9 left and I am just staring at the screen...can't find anything.
TO 7/28 please?
And AR 7/28 for the win?
Am I here all alone? :(
no I just don't have the answer
That's OK...it was just so quiet!
I noticed
I had to go rinse my brain out because it kept playing Ten Minutes Ago from Cinderella.
Oh boy
LOL
I got the TO...just need the AR now.
I have AR6 but not the 7
ar7 starts like where the kids hung out on Happy Days and ends with not from
is "not from" a 2 letter word?
Yes, the letter is from me and...
Got it! TY! Fireworks!
This is a HUGE personal accomplishment for me today.
wtg
the reason I married somebody named Kelley was that, at age 4 I became infatuated with Gene Kelly when my mother took me to see ThePirate
oh no, talking into air again.....losingmy marbles
I would tell you to lie down with a cold cloth over your eyes, but clearly this is something that your mother should have done when you were 4!
I must be off. Good luck all.
hahah
Hi again
hi sukee
I was telling my life story to nobody! Embarrassing
When does real life start?
I don't know, I'm still waiting :)
we have had so much rain that IF the sun eer comes out, the fruit will explode!
Yeah, yeah Ruby, blame it all on Gene Kelly. : D
I can picture foot long strawberries :)
it's true, it's trie
The figs are huge but not as bad as I feared but I think the tomatoes are a lost cause as they're still green and already bigger than they should be
"Farmer Nel" from NYC
:)
*Pictures Ruby in overalls with a pitchfork*
Green Acres is the place for me...
Could I get the stats on the 9, please?
I surely didn't think I'd wind up making jam in my dotage
Oh wait, if we are doing Green Acres, Ruby is definitely Zsa Zsa
Or Eva
Ava :)
<--never aw Green Acres :(
oops you are right, Eva... sorry
what years w2was it on? I probably didn't have a TV
Also I have ch8 what are the stats of the other 8?
Got thee to Hulu... It was in the 60s
Ruby have you ever thought about moving back to the US?
It's too late, I fear
sorry Mark stats for 9 are ca 9/84
I don't have the 8 yet
I miss the US, especially my son and the food, but I could never afford to move back and could never find a place as beautiful as this
It was 1965 to 1971
any clues for that 9?
hello TO
There is an an 8/50
hi, ruby.
Just goes to show what I know. I would have thought it was more expensive to live in France.
We moved here when the dollar was still worth something. It would be impossible now
Just got the last 8 :)
is the an8 -- an4/4 and another word? What are the stats for the other word.
yes Marc it is
The property is much more valuable now but there is no place in the US that would be affordable and as pretty as here. Also, what would I do with my old husband????
an 7/36 an 8/50 are related
Does anybody want an old husband? I'd make it worth your while! lol
one has an extra vowel at the end
I could trade life in France for Canada.
isn't a hacha an Incan mirror made from mica?
or the other way around I mean :)
with inlays of semi-precious stones?
Molly: do you ever go to Dumbarton Oaks? There is a tiny museum there with extraordinary Incan stuff
okay, break time.
I'm already broken.....
Poor Ruby
So am I
Dumbarton Oaks...talk about people with money falling out of their...
ty Jax, but it could be much worse.
Indeed it could. I had a retinal film done today and my eyes feel like gobstoppers on stalks. At least I can see now
I was friends, years ago, with a priest who was the president of the Amer. Archeological Assoc., and, when he was at Dumbarton Oaks for a year, he invited me down there and I actually stayed in the mansion
loooong time ago
Ruby, just the fact that you were friends with a priest is an entire chapter in your book. : D
I just had to step out for a moment. Ruby, my wife has an old husband. Let me know if you need her contact information. I believe she would sell me cheap. I need the stats on the compound words that make up the an8, please?
against bit of chromosome
thank you, Marc, maybe we could trade. I'm not sure mine would notice, as long as your wife can cook
He was a Jesuit and brilliant. And we were very close for a few years
Take off the last letter for 7
she cooks for herself as we don't like the same food. Also she is vegetarian and only cooks and eats what is good for her. That is why she only weights 100 lbs and I weigh double that.
Am I crying in the wilderness here?
All the Jesuits I have known have been off the charts smart
need help finding the 9? plz
I cook 3 meals a night: one for husband, one for dogs and one for me. My husband is not much interested in food, though, so I am constantly trying to make things he'll like
Yes please also the an8
hello Ishult
Hi, ishult
an8 is the an7 plus a vowel
hi to all
Marc, in between you and Ruby and wife swapping, I have clued the an7 and 8
My problem is that I love food but have discovered that I cannot eat at night if I want to lose weight.
Don't have the an7
He was wonderful but is probably not still alive as he was a lot older back in the 60's, probably past 50 then
and I was just a kid! lol
That must have been quite an experience staying in the mansion at Dumbarton.
Please read back, marc
an7 against + part of nice men
OK, I give up no-one is 'listening to me. I am off for the evening meal.
yes, it was. And my friend gave a lecture held at a small private museum (name escapes me at the moment) which was opened after hours for his association
It's a beautiful place
And the "garden rooms" really knocked me out.
I tried taking this husband there and he had no interest
I'm still trying to figure out what you and this husband have/had in common : D
We were best friends when we worked together
don't get the clue part of nice men?
or beginning of DNA material
Finally got both did anyone clue the ca9?
Ladies and .....nice men
ca9...made someone fit for traveling event with rides and side shows
wandered off...time to go do something else. happy balnling, all.did anyone clue the 9 before i go?
great clue, molly!
er, is that ca7 or 9?
nm, i got it. ty
9
i am so used to seeing misread plurald, gerunds, persons who and past tenses here that i always take the root aclue and go figure the part of speech later.
half the players don't know the difference
adios,amigos!
adieu, TO
well that is a funny word
hello folks, did well exercise class. I do believe I am stronger than I have ever been!!
I have je4, help with other j pls

NM
Could I get a clue ca7/52, please?
If you have the ca9, make it present tense
don't have the 9
ca9...first 4 of a traveling show with rides and side shows + vowel + the way Col Sanders makes chicken, WITHOUT the R
the ca4/5 before it plus a suffix
slide shows?
Side shows, The Bearded Lady for example.
oh - side shows :) my eyes are going south.
I thought you were talking about one of those technical conference types of traveling circuses
It's funny you said slide shows because someone described Facebook to me today as like having to sit through everyone's family slide shows.
Thank you for your patience I got both
heh. it's worse - nobody would put half that stuff in a family slide show
Harry, get with the times, the conferences are all Power Point now. But just as boring.
I wonder if I still have my slide carousel stashed away somewhere
just missing the leftmost H for nbt...
Slide shows...View Masters for grown ups. : D

Oh thank you so much, Molly. One of my favorites.

hello, all
now i am craving peach cobler.
howdee owlee
getting bogged down with 29 to go, opening the list
hi again all!
howdee yourself, gwen. i am for some unknown reason, starving. just saw a receipe for cheesecake mad ein the crockpot!!!
that would be crockcake!
ooh gwen, i just read your profile. I am sorry.
thanks, TO
likewise - so sorry to hear that, Gwen!
i do not chat often so i have not seen you, did not know.
sue, i read your news as well.
yes, after the events of the past month I was expecting this but it is still no fun
Gwen, very sorry to read your sad news.
we are on the cancer watch as well, sue, for SIL nerve-wracking.
thanks molly, and sorry to hear your news, sue. best wishes to you
thanks, gwen!
ah, TO, sorry about your SIL, it is indeed nervewracking.
actually, i feel to talk abouit i t jinxes it, in some strange way.
It all seems to come at once, I am sorry Franks cancer is back sue, and best wishes for your S.I.L T.O WE are also on a watch here with my brother this time. Just found out a few days ago.
I face cancer head on. always have, always will
oh, crossy, you have my sympathy too!
Our family is stiff with cancer as far back as you care to go. All of us have had to keep an eye peeled as it were
do not mean to dig deeply, suze, but has his cancer spread or is it confined?
wow
Like i say, i am pretty forward when it comes to dealing with this here, so If i step out of line, just say so
it's in two abdominal lymph nodes, and at the previous surgical site in his colon, crossy, so pretty localized at the moment although the lymph nodes are not a good sign
uno and it's a 4 (blush)
and I actually prefer to talk about it, it helps me
go gwen go!
biff bam pow, finished!
yay gwen!
doing a dance, on the inside
my second cancer was in the nodes and it was very treatable
wtg, gwen!
well, we are hopeful, they will be giving him Folfox (which includes the dreaded oxyplatin) and Avastin this time
I hope frank responds well to the treatments
mine was cisplatin(sp) and evil stuff
I think the cisplatin and the oxyplatin are similar as far as side effects go
puke, puke, and puke again
I lost 100 pounds during treatment(as well as all my hair)
well, if Frank loses 100 pounds he'll weigh about 47, so he'd better not
suze, I do not have your email addy, but if you wish to chat about any of this or have any questions whatsoever on diet and home care issues while treatments are ongoing, i am here if you have a need for it. I have been through the fire and back again. I would like to think I learned something along the way:)
omg, nutrittion is very difficult during chemo, yet important. a real challenge for you especially, sue.
I have your email, crossy, and will write
i take it thay don't give you more drugs to counteract the nausea?
ok suze.. whatever you need:)
sil lived on choclate shakes with PB in them for protein. she grew to hate them
I tokk anti nause meds via IV.. not damn good at all
nausea
they did the first time around, Gwen, we'll see about this time
i'm taking some boring old antibiotic and it's giving me the heaves, too
My beloved sends out thought and prayers to all those dealing with cancer at this time as well
so i keep wondering, where is my free satin tote?
yuck/ taling kefir or probiotics as well, gwen? our pharmacist recommends to all who get anitbiotics.
meanwhile, fireworks!
yaaa for suze!!
yay sue!
to be fair to my dr, she did tell me to eat lots of yogurt, i told her i can't stand yogurt, she told me how to mix it with milk, i told her milk gives me the runs, and so on. today i bought a little bitty single-serve yogurt and will try to eat the little monster
congrats sue!
woo hoo sue
evening all
probiotics are for you then, gwen
howdy dan
my beloved also hates yogurt
Well...all this talk about cancer...I think it hits too close to home for all of us...will be praying for you all
i looked at probiotics in the store, they have some in pill form, but of course i have no prescription for that, so i would have to pay cashy money
i use kefir
anit
And crossy is right about the probiotics...use them myself now :)
Jameson brand make very good probiotics. they are about 15 dollars for 40 capsules, but you can order them direct for less
seriously, i have never seen kefir in a store. what department would it me in?
gwen, i think you only need a talblesponn or so at a time.
of yogurt?
dairy, it is amped up fermented drink, like liquid yoqurt. but i think someone is making fruit juice with probiotcs.
OMG that sounds really gross (really)
yes, of yogurt, not a whole container at a time. ask the pharmacist.
well, if i only need a little at a time, i can prolly handle that!
probiotics, one pill, twice a day, easy as that
i cannot say, i;ve been eating yogurt since the only nationl brand was dannon, i was in 8th grade.
when dinos roamed the earth :)
is it the taste or the tesxture?
i remember a time when there was no yogurt to speak of. i mean, i know it's been around forever, but we never heard of it, then all a sudden, there it was, and everyone was eating it
the texture is what i find gross, to be honest
plus, there's no "plain" that i could find, so i bought a "vanilla" one to try
welll as i said, it was vite nam era. there was only yogurt in ethnic stores till dannon came on the scene.
we are of a same age gwen, but I worked at a dairy in my youth and I was up to my armpit in yogurt and sour cream every day:)
Astro brand was the big brand here at that time
i never really liked pudding (or other foods with a pudding texture) so i gave up eating pudding, then yogurt came along, and i was like, hell no! LOLOL
used to get the bacterial cultures both both delivered in dry ice
if you can find real leanses yogurt, it is heavenly, t otally different. you can put plaon yogurt on p
1 cat food can sized tin of culture would render 50 gallons of product. was quite interesting really
baked potato
real leanses? is that a brand or a typo?
yes, believe it or not that was lebanese.
oh! well, i prolly can, since i live near Detroit, and there are tons of middle east people in this area, and food stores, and restaurants, etc
well, i will have to pop into the next lebanese grocery i drive past. good idea, thanks
i cannot tolerate milk but can eat yogurt. the culture helps , guess. and i just bough cheery with choco chips for dessert. trying to be good
gwen, still has creamy texture, thicker though and milder.
oooh, chocolate chip yogurt!
wondering if i can find lebanese yogurt with chocolate chips in it . . .
or i could just toss 'em in there myself. no, that is too much like cooking. LOL
east coast brand, though, i think. trader joe's has chocolate. ut if you only need a spoonful, just treat it as medicine. unless you are talking a tetracycline like drug, then watch the dairy.
tetracycline? now i'm afraid to ask
sorry, but i took cyclines for years and years. i am afflicted with cystic acne. yes, there is restriction on dairy for a period efore and after the dose, it invalidates the drug,
i'm taking amox-clav. i just looked it up on wikipedia and no mention of tetracycline
soundspenicllin like
(4 syllables per drug. OY)
it's an antibiotic, did i mention? for "soft tissue infection"
amoxicillin, perhaps. took that as well, tore my stomach to shreds, but that is my weak spot.
yep, what you said
well, i'm off, many thanks for all your good advice
oooh, poor gwen! did not mean to confuse. maybe google fruit juice with probiotics.
Gwen! Naked juice brand makes mango juice with probiotics! no yogurt or dairy!
