    Good luck,it's been on and off all day here good thing too my yard and trees needed it real bad :)
    We do too, My peony is looking bad :(

    I don't see me doing much tomorrow either. ;)


    That looks fabulous Joey!!! :thumbs:

    Lol's. :lol:

    Yes, thank you! :wub:

    Ewwwww, no. I'm not a blueberry eater. Love most other berries, just not a fan of blueberries.

    Having a small one now...with my Cream of Wheat. I was scared of the oatmeal.
    Since I did ok with the CoW earlier, I decided not to tempt it, and just play it safe the rest of the day.
    I am going to try a banana, and maybe some jello later if it's set up.


    @JoeyC - it's been really nice here too, temp wise. We could use some rain though, like OBG said.
    I think we maybe had some though when he didn't.
    Be good for you to slack off a bit :)

    ...and to think, Friday a.m., I was sooooo excited for the weekend. :facepalm::lol:
    :(

    Lori, have you been checked for gallstones? My memory is bad and I don't remember your symptoms. I do remember thinking food poisoning. Is it just severe pain? I think I remember you said no vomiting? I had to have gallstones removed and then a week later the gallbladder removed when I was in my twenties.

    :(
    Sometimes you might have to water twice a day. Those kind of die off though, I think.
    You might google...if you haven't.

    Oh, I'm slacking...I do have a load of clothes in the dryer. :thumbs:

    I know that feeling :laugh:

    Have you heard the one about spiders (snakes too) hitchhiking around the globe in banana crates, hidden in the bunches? Unfortunate people buy the bananas, and when they get home and decide to peel and eat one of the bananas, they are bitten by a spider that happens to be the most poisonous in the world, and then their finger rots off, or other gruesome things happen.:shock:

    Sorry you had to go through that so young :)

    Try dumping some water on it then go back and do it again in a few hours,like now and before you jump into bed :)
    Might do that if it doesn't rain tomorrow :)

    Oh yeah, I've read of it :(

    No, haven't been checked.
    I'm having all the classic gallbladder symptoms. I'm hoping one isn't stuck in the duct. :(
    I had one other time this happened, a couple years ago, I thought it was food poisoning then, but it was more like what I'm having now.
    Just lots of pressure in my abdomen, and it's not gas. :laugh:

    Below are common symptoms of gallbladder conditions:
    Severe abdominal pain - YES, but it comes and goes.
    Pain that may extend beneath the right shoulder blade or to the back - sometimes
    Pain that worsens after eating a heavy meal, particularly fatty or greasy foods - yesterday
    Pain that feels dull, sharp, or crampy - YES - comes and goes.
    Pain that increases when you breathe in deeply - not really, but bending sucks.
    Heartburn, indigestion, and excessive gas - no
    Chest pain - no
    A feeling of fullness in the abdomen - yesterday
    Vomiting, nausea, fever - no, last night, very low grade
    Shaking with chills - no
    Tenderness in the abdomen, particularly the right upper quadrant - a little
    Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes) - no :nun:
    Stools of an unusual color (often lighter, like clay) and dark urine, or both - no

    It's hard to explain, because it sounds like it would just be gas, but it's not, it's similar, but different.

    One woman in the comments section below an article I read stated that two of her childbirths were easier than her gallbladder attacks were. :facepalm:

    ETA: yes, what Dale said, soooooo sorry you had to go through all that!!

    Thanks ;) I had back pain for months and as stupid kids do, I ignored it. Until it got so bad that I tossed my cookies every time I ate. Ended up in the ER. :confused:

    Girl, you better get something to eat Or those ribs won't last past today. :lol:

    Yep, yep and YEPPPP! Gallbladder attacks are WORSE than childbirth!!

    I did have a stone in the duct, they did an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography or ERCP (scope down throat) and removed the stone. Then about a week later I keeled over in the Home Depot in so much pain, ended up in the ER again and walla, they removed the gallbladder and appendix too for good measure.

    I've heard of that too.

    My nephew and his wife said that ALL produce gets sprayed before transport, even if it's organic.
    Nephew and his wife said it's pretty much the law, because of invasive and or dangerous insects.
    (they were into super healthy eating for several years)

    The produce guy at Dierbergs said no, if it's organic, it's not been sprayed.
    ...so, I don't know which to believe, just passing on what's been discussed in my family. :)


    I was following Customs and Border Patrol for awhile on Twitter. They would spot check, all sorts of shipments and post pics of stuff that got caught and refused at the border.
    Before Valentine's Day, they were inspecting flowers.

    My nephew was telling me about a You Tube documentary/video about bananas, and to only buy organic bananas because in all these third world countries where they grow the bananas, the people who work the fields (banana farms) live all along the edges of the farms, the crop dusters come in and spray and don't care if little kids are in the yard or not.
    He said the guy doing the documentary was showing how sick the kids were, and how some had birth defects.
    I didn't go look for it, his descriptions were enough for me.

    Organic bananas aren't that much more expensive, so I do buy them when I have the choice. :)
    ...if we knew half the *real* stories out there regarding our food supply, we'd prob have a hard time eating much of it. :(
    Sorry you had to go through that so young :)


    That's a possibility :?:


    Ribs are done, hard to keep my hands off since I haven't gotten around to eating supper yet :rolleyes:
    I'll bet!!
