FREAP CHAT ~ Everyone Welcome!

[angiepangie8]

Welcome back Madd!!
Sorry to hear about your back and it stinks that it was bothering you on your trip!
I can totally relate.
Sunday Night I did something at bowling to my neck/upper back area (but for some reason I kept bowling through the pain ~since I was bowling 30 pins above average~somehow backpain makes me bowl better.)

I have been so gun ho about excersising But, now I can barely move without pain so it looks like no gym this week for me ! I may need to go to the doctor. Tylenol does nothing for me! Today I hope try one of those anti-inflamitory patches and some Advil.

Take care
and get well everyone!!!

oh by the way ~i love tequila too!!!! I haven't had tequila shots in a long time.

I LUUUUVVVVV Tequila! But my husband tells me it makes me take my clothes off...???...WHAT? I don't remember taking my clothes off???? Apparently that's true...because it seems that everywhere I go our friends order me shots of tequila! I think I'm like a guinea pig to them! They are trying to figure out the exact number of ounces it takes to make me...well...I guess take some clothing off??? Go figure?

It would be hard for me to take my clothes off while trying to hang on to the floor

 

[mtblujeans]

Oh my gosh, TinkerBean!!

I don't know if I have ever even had Tequila....not that I recall! But, I have had Long Island Ice Teas to the point that I fell out of bed and kept getting sick to the point that I could not even pass out! I am scared to death of them now!

I LOVE Bloody Marys....with olives....lots of olives! And a steak....gotta have a steak with them.....at least that is what I tell DH!

I just stole my first smilie of the day...blah blah smilie is now MINE!

Hadleysun....that is too funny! Some things are best not to remember....

Oh my gosh, we all HAVE to get together some time. I will warn you, though, that with my asthma, I cough my head off when I get to laughing really hard and really long and you guys are just going to have to put up with it!

You better go get that checked out. When we are in pain, we can't imagine it getting worse but it always can....best to find the cause.

Something tells me, however, that it can and has been tried by someone, somewhere!

What a coincidence. I'm feeling quite a bit queasy this morning as a result of...tequila of course! A couple of my girlfriends took me out for Mexican last night for my b-day and I ordered the huge JUMBO margarita that comes in what looks like a fishbowl. Then I ate a combo meal covered in cheese and the waiter showed up with a double shot of Cuervo 1800!!! I was sitting there thinking "Ugh...I don't know if I can do that anymore." And of course, all the other waiters gathered round to watch me, so I had to do my Freaps and Wenches proud and knock it back. I'm shuddering now just thinking about it. I was hoping for a free dessert-not free tequila! I'm OLD here people! Bring me sugar!!!!! So I had an evil burning in my tummy all evening.

 

[hadleysun]

BLOODY MARYS! I luuuuvvvvv them too! I have them the morning after I have tequila shots! Or EVERY morning if I'm in the keys!

I, too, want tons of olives AND a dill pickle spear! That's my favorite! And I ask for my celery on the side...That way I can actually call it a MEAL!

Oh, sure, we get to hear about your birthday on the morning after.....sigh! But, I am with 'ya on the "bring me sugar"...I have killed enough brain cells in my lifetime....don't encourage me to kill more. I can only stare during a conversation for so long!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARNA!!​

Oh my gosh....I love your logic!

ETA: Ok, talking about olives and celery...I am getting hungry!

For those with back pain, 1st

2nd, ICE - ICE - ICE

Heat does nothing for me but the ice really helps!

Okay, but how? I fell down the stairs yesterday, landed right on my tail bone. Twice. Yup, I bounced down the stairs. But I am apparently not Tigger and it hurts. Hurts more today than yesterday. But no where near what Madd must be feelin', 'cause I can still sit to DIS. It hurts more when I move.

 

[mtblujeans]

Hmm...the tail bone is a weird one. Maybe take something for pain and lay down, don't sit?

I fell on my backside while skating when I was a kid and my tail bone hurt for months!! I don't know what happens when you fall on your tail bone but it sure hurts! Do you really break it? Does it just crack? Or what...?

I agree with the ice suggestion! My hubby has chronic back pain and his chiropractor told him "Ice and nothing else but ice!" He keeps several of those gel packs in the freezer for flare ups! And since they are moldable per se, they'd be good for bums as well!

Ah, that's a good idea. I guess I'll go sit on one of those. Sitting on ice cubes did not sound comfortable.

Even though he looks like he likes it.

Man, sorry everyone is hurting today. Today is actually my birthday and I decided since I am old that I needed to keep up the exercising, so I just got off the treadmill. Now...my hip hurts. How perfect is that to make one feel like an old granny woman? At least I think the tequila after-effects are gone finally. Maybe the Freaps should pool our resources and buy some tylenol stock.

OMG

I have been dying to use him for months...Did you fall down the stairs just to use him...

Really - hope you feel better. Falling down the stairs sucks (speaking from experience...) you do end up feeling worse the next day because you end up pulling muscles that you didn't know you had trying to catch yourself.

 

[TinkerBean]

Happy Birthday Marna!!!

Are you sure it was the tequila and not chuck e cheese that bit ya

A couple of my girlfriends took me out for Mexican last night for my b-day

Oh- Marna! I did not get to wish you a Happy Birthday!!!........Happy Birthday!

I have never had tequila- only a sip of a Margarita in the past and I did not like it (the margarita)!

But- I thought- let's give it another try!- Go right for it and do it straight up! I asked the bartender for a shot and I guess at an all-inclusive- what do they care- he poured me a half of a cup!- So that totalled 3 shots- I was fine- my clothes stayed on and I was walking upright

I also tried a Strawberry Margarita- I guzzled that right down too- it was yummy! Maybe I just do not like the green ones? I know I do not like the salt

My back is feeling a bit better right now- could be the percocets kicking in! Kind of weird though- my right hand is numb- WHAT THE HECK IS ALL THAT ABOUT???

Here are a few pics from Mexico-

Lobby:

They had a nice sized theater:

(one) of the pools- pool bar:

another pool:

From the beach:

WHAT THE ?????? As you can see DH eventually felt much better and went snorkeling:
