rururocks

yeah sorta
1:20 am
rururocks

he said it will help me a lot to get to 200lbs or less
1:24 am
lynxxx

It matters such a lot when you have ops (my brother just went that - plus a heap of other stuff - in the last few months),. In fact keeping your weight down becomes such an issue as you get older - it causes so many complications (sigh)
1:26 am
rururocks

yeah.. there's gonna be less of me to love..
1:27 am
lynxxx

but think of all the hard muscle that will be there instead! well - after you can get active again
1:28 am
rururocks

I sure hope so... I've never had surgery..
1:30 am
lynxxx

it's nothing! they keep you nicely drugged up so no pain and fuss over you when you really need it...the only dreary side is hospital food and no decent coffee (get someone to bring it in for you)
1:30 am
rururocks

okay.. off to bed for me.. night you guys.. take care

If there are any lurkers who have no clue what we're talking about - look up The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, and subsewuent sequels. I personally guarantee your life will be richer if you do.

10:07 am
Scrabbler

Halflife = 3.8 hrs (No, I didn't know that; I looked it up.) and it takes about 4-5 halflives to be gone. As you were on med for 10 days or so your body may need time to adjust.
10:08 am
hurshy

also i read on wiki this morning that benzodiazapenes shouldn't be taken with hydrocodone so i guess it's good i stopped?!
10:08 am
hurshy

they had the clon on my list of meds, why didn't they say anything?
10:08 am
Scrabbler

Both cause respiratory and neuro depression.

Most of what I know about cultures and things that are not of my lived experience is from books and movies. I always assume that people who play this game are avid readers (most word lovers are) so it always surprises me when people claim to be unfamiliar with a whole block of what I consider common ethnic terms. Just my take on it.

As I sat here in my seat id4/7 waiting for babblers to ask for clues, I wrote a story of clues. So here it is. I fell ma5/18 in love w/husband several years ago. Our relationship was so el 7/36 at the beginning. He told me I was the prettiest la4/7 he had ever been with.I told husband that I loved the fact that he was a neat person and not a slob and we'd never ever need a ma 4/6. Then we got married. He he4/6 my hands and sa 4/5 that he would love me forever.We went sa4/4ing on a cruise ship for our honeymoon. However,sa5/16 the bliss and happiness ha4/5ed a couple years after we got married. It is sort of ir6/21 that wh4/9 made me fall in love w/him is the ma 4/5 reason why I don't love my husband anymore. I hate to say it,but I have had ma5/14 mood swings since our problems started. I've also become an alcoholic and I drink gin&to 6/21 every single day. I am to 4/4 over leaving him. I wish I could just wave a magic wa4/9 & then things would go back to how they used to be when we were happy Da4/6! Hubby is stomping around the house being no 5/14 which means he wa 4/8s laptop. We have to ro 4/4 te turns on the computer.I'm going to go change my ic4/5 for tomorrow.Then I'm going to get into my co4/7 bed and watch the film The So 6/21 Network. I hope you have obta4/4ed some more words with this story of clues.Goodnight babblers.I will see you later.

oh monkey, I was at the MLA convention in Seattle - I am half sad that I didn't just go as a full participant the whole time... but to be honest if I had I wouldn't have had the great three days of work this past week! It was so re-invigorating as a teacher, and as a student. AND I met two wonderful authors -- bought book from one and will order the books from the other as soon as he tells me where I can get them in the states (he's from Scotland). and Mother was there, and we met my dear, "separated at birth but never met in person - twin" who I have known online for over twelve years.
