Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / July 2004otp: humor summer in fla
A little bit I got from my parents when they found I was considering Fla. in august for a vacation. I've already cancelled the trip 'till next spring. Hanging in there. Still experimenting with the antid's. Had a bad reaction and had to regress and basically starting over. Was getting panic attacks from wellbutrin, but I'm MUCH better now! Mike had a growth spurt and is now my size with much bigger feet! Eating me out of house and home. Getting hugs and kisses from the girls at Y camp. Gotta keep my eye on that boy.... Z This also includes North Carolina, Ginny Bless this house, oh Lord, we cry. Please keep it cool in mid-July. Bless the walls where termites dine, while ants and roaches march in time. Bless our yard where spiders pass fire ant castles in the grass. Bless the garage, a home to please carpenter beetles, ticks and fleas. Bless the love bugs, two by two, the gnats and mosquitoes that feed on you. Millions of creatures that fly or crawl, in Florida, Lord, you've put them all!! But this is home, and here we'll stay, So thank you Lord, for insect spray. ****************** HOLD IT.............there's more.................... YOU KNOW YOU ARE IN Florida IN JULY WHEN... ~ The birds have to use potholders to pull worms out of the ground. ~ The trees are whistling for the dogs. ~ The best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance. ~ Hot water now comes out of both taps. ~ You can make sun tea instantly. ~ You learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good branding iron. ~ The temperature drops below 95 and you feel a little chilly. ~ You discover that in July it only takes 2 fingers to steer your car. ~ You discover you can get sunburned through your car window. ~ You actually burn your hand opening the car door. ~ You break into a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 a.m. ~ Your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and cook to death?" ~ You realize that asphalt has a liquid state. ~ The potatoes cook underground, so all you have to do is pull one out and add butter, salt and pepper. ~ Farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying boiled eggs. ~ The cows are giving evaporated milk. ............Ah, what a place to call home. I love it.. sounds like today in OK. I think I will send this to hubby at work... > A little bit I got from my parents when they found I was considering Fla. in > august for a vacation.

LOL I'm just as glad you cancelled the trip in August. It really is a miserable time to be in Florida, unless you are on the coast or you never step outside. Not the time for DW. Glad you are better now - keep it that way! ah......... home, sweet home.......... how I miss it (NOT! well, ok I miss it in January, but not in August!) > Bless this house, oh Lord, we cry. > Please keep it cool in mid-July. > Bless the walls where termites dine, oh yeah, we just paid the Florida Pest Control annual termite bill for our house down there. > while ants and roaches march in time. > Bless our yard where spiders pass no, no,no the spiders are builiding those huge webs that make getting into your house like a scene from The Return of the King - and the spiders are the size of my hand. > fire ant castles in the grass. > Bless the garage, a home to please > carpenter beetles, ticks and fleas. > Bless the love bugs, two by two, now, now. love bugs are only in May and September. You get a 10 month break fromt hem. > the gnats and mosquitoes that feed on you. > Millions of creatures that fly or crawl, [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >> Hot water now comes out of both taps. >> You can make sun tea instantly. I was stunned to learn people around here can make it when it's only 65 degrees outside. I thought you needed some warmth to make sun tea! >> You learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good branding iron. >> The temperature drops below 95 and you feel a little chilly. >> You discover that in July it only takes 2 fingers to steer your car. make that 2 fingerTIPS. >> You discover you can get sunburned through your car window. hey, that happened to me driving across Ontario last summer. >> You actually burn your hand opening the car door. that's why God created loose fitting shirts - door handle pot holders! >> You break into a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 a.m. only if you keep your a/c at 70. Good folks set it at 80 and you're ok stepping outside up until oh, at least 8:30 or so. >> Your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out and end > up lying on the pavement and cook to death?" any true Floridian knows better than to ride when it's that hot. Get a lift from someone and ride your bike after the afternoon thunderstorm cools thinkgs off a tad. >> You realize that asphalt has a liquid state. boy does that bring back memories of marching band rehearsal on the school parking lot............ >> The potatoes cook underground, so all you have to do is pull one out > and add butter, salt and pepper.

SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare For the most part you can make "sun" tea by just leaving it on the kitchen counter. It really doesn't require much in the way of sun or heat at all. Its just faster when it gets warmer. Plus the feel good factor of "I made it with sunshine!"

I'm sorry you are having trouble with the antidepressants...I went through the same thing and know the frustration it causes. and I had to LOL 'cause I saw the hugs and kisses from the girls and didn't really see it was about Mike and thought, "Hey! Gary's love life has improved." <g> donnah > A little bit I got from my parents when they found I was considering Fla. in > august for a vacation. I've already cancelled the trip 'till next spring.

Thanks for sharing this Gary, I felt like you were talking about Calif lately. ;-) It is good to hear that you are getting other meds for the antid's. I know it is not fun to have reactions to meds. Boy maybe you will have to do the reverse of the torture chamber thing to stretch people and use that for Mike. That is what we used to say about the boys. They are 6 ft 9 inches tall. I think one wears a 15 and the other one a 16 size shoe. They are mighty big boys. Oh you will have to keep a baseball bat around to chase off the girls. It is that time for him. ;-) SignatureLove and hugs to all Good thoughts coming your way too.

It is > that time for him. ;-) Hi Jo, I think I'll let him grow for awhile yet. :-) I'm short 5'8" and would have liked to have been taller (for sports). So he can fulfill one of my dreams if he gets tall. lol Problem is I have to keep getting his bowling balls redrilled and bowling shoes replaced before they show any wear! Anyone need a size 11 in excellent condition?? As to the girls, I'm letting him bask in all the attention. Another one of my dreams perhaps?! lol You are in my daily thoughts and prayers. Things will turn around soon I hope. Z Gary, Yeah I don't think you have much choice in the matter about letting him grow more. LOL You are doing good Gary at being a good father. I hope you know that. Thanks for the prayers and thoughts. I am sure things will eventually get better. It is just a matter of having the patience and waiting it out. ;-) SignatureLove and hugs to all Good thoughts coming your way too. Squirrely Jo > > Thanks for sharing this Gary, I felt like you were talking about Calif > > lately. ;-) [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > hope. > Z > YOU KNOW YOU ARE IN Florida IN JULY WHEN... LOL Thanks for that. I think it was originally Texas, though. :-) We've been having 100+ degree temps. Mag <sweating> |
