Let's All Have A Chat
The hot bath sounds like it'd be good for sciatica as well, Sean.
Christine, I was just talking to my daughter about shutting off the phone line and getting a pay-as-you-go service. Thanks, I'm going to look into T Mobile.I'm done with ATT!
Groovy, did you see the news tonight? AT&T being fined $100 million for misleading their customers about one of their program offers (unlimited texting--internet service is veeeery slow for those people who signed on).
I saw that, Christine. First they offer unlimited data, then when their customers take advantage of it, they slow it down, and now they've stopped offering it. And if they have to pay that fine, that no doubt means their services are going up again. So, the customers are going to pay that fine with higher rates.Thank you for the T Mobile info, I think I'm going to go that route.
I use T-Mobile, and I love it. I have service wherever I need it, unlimited data, and cheaper plans. I have been with them for 9 years, and love it.
Thank you, everyone, for the well wishes. We are trying to get over a hurdle with our buyers credit. There seems to be a little glitch. Hoping our Shelly can help and we can get this thing sold........the boxes are driving me to drink!This will be the last time I move, I can tell you that.
Sean, I sympathize with you re:your bad back. I have suffered with mine since '96. Sometimes you just can't get away from the pain. Rest and read...........
I totally understand back pain too! I have bad sciatica and potentially degenerating disks (depending on who you ask). It has gotten really bad in the last few months.
I live with both sciatica and herniated discs in the low back, Autumn. I use Extra Strength Rub535, or Tylenol 3 with codeine to get some relief. Rainy damp weather is the worst for it. I think it is really bad this season because of all the rain we have had, Autumn. Take care.
5 fractures and 3 compressions here. I have horrible sciatica and am so careful how I step onto different surfaces. I do anything to protect my back.I take my wonder drugs......Day-Pro and Tramadol. They keep me upright..
I sure do sympathize with anyone that has back pain. Unless you have it --- it's hard to understand it.

Although a bad fitness fanatic, playing tennis for thrirty years, boxing for eleven years have taken their toll on my back.
I have a weakness on to lower discs, when I play too much hurt all the way down to my toes.
And one high up in my neck, which causes pain in my right shoulder and arm.
Most of the time I am fine, and run around like a lunatic, but sometimes my body is saying rest.
I have cancelled the four sets I was playing tonight, and the next 2-3 days, and hopefully it will calm down.
Sadly though of to the dentists for a root canal and filling and crown, so expensive and painful.
But good news off work for the next two weeks , and tomorrow on a trip to France to Carteret (on a rib, hope my back is alright), for the day

I had a chap called Frank Marquer, my miracle man, hurt my back, and my wife also went to him, we would always go and see him at his home and he would work miracles.
After thirty years of seeing him, he sadly died last week, after having a stroke earlier this year, do I miss him so much and the work he did on me.
A lovely chap, many people trusted him to work on their bodies, many doctors and nurses as well, and I thought he would just keep going, he died at the age of 84 years old.
Knocked a disc out he would go and put it back then back on the tennis court the next day !
WOW Sean.........what a grand fellow. What a nice long life. Perhaps he had a protogee???????
Hi! How we doin'? I have an exam this Sunday and I am ticking like a bomb!
I am good titas - a stuffed lttle piggy already and got pizza on the way cant wait to get off the carbs!!!
Sean, sorry for your loss. )-: )-:

Hey, little piggy, share your pizza if I pop over?
Another good review for T-Mobile--here I come! Thanks, AutumnSean, I hope your back gets better. And share your pictures of France when you get back. One of my books is going to be written in France:) Sorry about your friend.
And speaking of back pain! I've had back pain ever since I carried my last daughter and her big head rested against my lower spine. Now, whenever I'm stressed my back goes out, and I can't walk for over a week. Nothing works: aspirin, massages, nothing but staying off of it.
Autumn wrote: "I totally understand back pain too! I have bad sciatica and potentially degenerating disks (depending on who you ask). It has gotten really bad in the last few months."I've been OFFICIALLY diagnosed with BOTH sciatica AND degenerative disc disease, Autumn.
To everyone who knows I have diabetes: As you all may know, I spent approx. 6 hrs. in the ED at Belleville's St. Elizabeth's Hospital for an incident where I could just not get my blood sugar back up into normal range last Thursday.
Well, I had a similar problem yesterday. It took the contents of 5 sugar pkts., 3 pieces of candy given to me by the library staff, a (dry) bologna and American cheese sammich on white bread AND a half hour long nap before I got my blood sugar back up into the high 70mg/dL's.
Today, thanks to a trip to the food bank, I have a 12 oz. can of SUNKIST (regular, not diet) which I will pop open as soon as I feel the symptoms of hypoglycemia coming on.

So jealous...
Did you hear the good news? In 2020, a woman will replace Andrew Jackson on the $10 bill. YaaaY!! About time! It doesn't matter to me who it is, whether the front runner Harriet Tubman, or the other nominees, Sojourner Truth, or Susan B. Anthony, just as long as it's a woman who has done so much for others. It means a lot to us females here in the US.I'm surprised they aren't going to put Oprah on it:)
Autumn wrote: "I use T-Mobile, and I love it. I have service wherever I need it, unlimited data, and cheaper plans. I have been with them for 9 years, and love it."I wish T-mobile worked here. I got my son a T-mobile phone and he barely has any coverage. Calls are so garbled it is frustrating, basically we can text each other and that is it. Unless you are right in the larger cities the signal is bad. I have to use Verizon, if you travel and need a signal in the country. No other company has a signal where I camp.

Root Canal done, can just feel my face now
Back a little bit better
This weekend I'll be creating the cover of my next book :~)
Christine wrote: "Oooh, can't wait, David!"Me too. I'll likely not finish it, but I will make a good start.
Decided I'd try a smaller dose of Humulin 70/30 today. Had hypoglycemic incidents damned near every day since last Thursday when I spent 6 hrs. in the ER. The bruise I got from the 50% dextrose IV in the ambulance is FINALLY fraking fading.
So, this really just happened today-My little nephew (9 yr old) came in my room, picked up my book from table and said this:
Looking forward to seeing it David! :)

Sean, I'm so jealous. Bring me back a present (ha-ha) Have fun and don't forget us.
Hyperglycemia is just as bad for you as hypoglycemia but on the OPPOSITE end of the scale.It's the blood sugar equivalent of the difference between an EL NINO and a LA NINA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Ni%C... (as a reminder) andhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Ni%C... or the blood sugar equivalent of the difference between anemia and hemochromatosis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anemia and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_ov...
Technically, the links are for those who don't really know about the subjects.
David wrote: "This weekend I'll be creating the cover of my next book :~)"At least you have an idea for a cover, David. I have a book coming out in August and still no definite idea. I'm still writing the synopsis:( (but I wouldn't have it any other way) Someone did give me a great idea, though, a watercolor scene for a cover. I might try that.
good luck with that davidsean enjoy france
I am currently feeling like a blimp :(
thankfully I think I can stop eating now :)
if you don't hear from me tomorrow or sunday do not panic I will probably just have keeled over in a corner and may not crawl out til Monday
Sorry, Sharon. But think about all the hard work you're doing for yourself to keep in good health. Which is more than I can say for myself.Try and have a nice weekend:)
a 12 mile muddy obstacle course has to be insanity however Groovy LOL normal service should resume next week and I can get back to my proper diet and exercise regime

A bit of a rush... Very let down with the meal and Carteret is nothing special, no shops a few places to eat, that's it.
We were in France 2 1/2 hours, very fast bumpy ride back on the RIB.
Amber I do know how you feel, my thoughts are with you.
Groovy, will add a few pictures of the Ecrohoes, a few small Islands owned by Jersey, where they are a few homes owned by fisherman.
Just a little evening jaunt to France, eh Sean?
Sharon wrote: "a 12 mile muddy obstacle course has to be insanity however Groovy LOL normal service should resume next week and I can get back to my proper diet and exercise regime"Sharon, maybe Falling didn't sit with you too well because of too much sugar on the brain, lol!! I'm rooting for you to run and slide magnificently tomorrow. Make sure you check in when it's all over!
Thanks, Sean. 45 units seemed to work much better than the 50 units I had dropped my Humulin 70/30 down to from 60 units. I did NOT get hypoglycemia.
hello everyone well I survived and completed tough mudder Scotland 2015 I am currently home and sitting with feet up, a bit sore as you can imagine and with some bumps and bruises but generally in good form :)

I signed up for their internet, right? Well,..."
AT&T is not nice, Groovy. Try T Mobile pay as you go if you don't use tons of minutes.
