Well, I red...I mean read...another one of your posts and I got a green plane, too! Now, what do you suppose THAT means? I couldn't be psychic or anything, could I? Naaaaaay! That would be crazy, lol! Crazy like a fox! Crazy like a lune! Lune - moon - luna! Luna was the name of my cat! Boy, was she ever a little lunatic! All my pets have been like that! Hey, Alikat, what did you do with the cockatiel avatar? I remembered, Rousseau was my cockatiel's name, after the artist who painted the orange sun in one of his paintings. That's what the cheeks reminded me of! Who is that lady, anyway?

Hey, since there are some other low-fat folks here in this thread, maybe someone could answer a few things for me. Like, what is up with gravity lately? No kidding, it's like my feet are sometimes planted in the floor and I can barely move them! And sometimes the simplest thing feels like it weighs a ton! Although, I do have a bad habit of carrying more than I should sometimes! I've even noticed that the dogs seem to be having a more difficult time jumping up around me! They are behaving themselves much better these days, though. It's almost like all I have to do is *think* that they need to settle down and they do! They even come without me calling them now! Although, my magic dog, Sugar, is still a little pistol, sometimes! She is something else; she was the sole survivor of a litter of 8. All her siblings died from Parvo when someone tracked it in to the breeders house after they had gone to a puppy mill before visiting Sugar's breeder. Sugar didn't even get sick! And she helped to bring another little Cairn pup back to the land of the living when it also lost all its family!

Another thing that I am curious about is spitting! Now, I know I ate a plane full of people in Detroit, and I know that I have a mouth full of dental work that needs to be done, and I know I smoke (although clove cigarettes help my mouth pain); I'm just wondering if anyone else is spitting? I never spit in my life; couldn't even spit stuff up when I had pneumonia, and all the sudden I am spitting like crazy! I get this really thick mucousy stuff (clear, no taste or odor), and it seems like there is no end to it! Gross! I don't want to start carrying a spitune around with me! And since I never spit before, I really don't know how to spit, lol, and so it's definitely not the prettiest site you wanna see, lol! It seems to come and go, and when the mucous is thinner I have no problem swallowing it. It's just this thick stuff that I am compelled to spit out! It reminds me a bit of when I was in therapy years ago, and I used to go through nearly a whole box of kleenex during some of my sessions from blowing all the crap out of my nose after I would have some major emotional release. Ellen, my therapist, even commented one time in our women's group that she wondered where the heck all my mucous was coming from! I didn't even smoke then, and I didn't have a cold or any sort of infection. It was always clear, although really thick, similar to what it is now, only I would blow it out my nose! And it would only come up when I had some really big release and a good surge of energy! Oh well, I'll just deal with it; drink some more fluids and keep spitting, I suppose. And if anybody has any explanation or suggestions, I am all ears!

One more thing...

What is the deal with me taking a bath or shower, for crying out loud, lol?! First, I couldn't find my bathtub stopper when I was at my mother's condo (it was in her bathroom). Then I was just about to get into the shower when all the cops, firemen, and emergency techs came into my room to force me to go to the hospital after my mother lied to them to have me committed and they wouldn't let me clean up first. Then, I was at a homeless shelter for a couple of days, and you can almost forget about using the shower there! Although, I did manage to get one in after I did my laundry and cleaned out my car, and before I spent two nights sleeping (sorta) in my car! And now I am staying at a friend's house and I tried to take a hot shower yesterday evening, and the damn hot water stopped flowing just after I scrubbed down the tub and took my clothes off to hop in! Brrr... I hate cold showers! Why is it so hard for me to get cleaned up all the sudden? At least I'm not smelling so bad like I was before! And for anybody that's interested, baking soda is a great multi-purpose product to have on hand! You can rinse your mouth with it and it replaces a toothbrush, toothpaste, and mouthwash (no kidding, just put a bunch on your tongue, take a gulp of water, swish it around real good, and spit and your teeth and mouth feel squeeky clean!), you can shower or bathe with it (I've been using it as a mild body scrub, skin soother, and hair and body rinse, and I can actually feel that it clears up my energy and has a soothing, cooling effect!), and I even used it in my laundry to rinse my clothes out (great with odors and even helped remove a blood stain!). If they're not already doing it, baking soda would be a good thing for military personnel to carry on their person since it is lightweight, so versatile and harmless! And as for which brand...





Mais, oui! Que d'autre?



And, speaking of avatars, that reminds me of something that I've been meaning to do... Tweet
