[kritter]

thank you, you're so sweet!!!
I have NO voice this morning and it was kind of hard to talk to the boys and get them ready to go LOL

OOOOH, I hope you feel better.......

 

[kritter]

Good Morning everyone! It's Friday and we got to sleep in!!!

I think I am going to take the boys to Michaels and see if they have the Pirate Chest, then go to Kohls...I hear they have 90% off! Then over to Sam's Club for a few things, of course, we'll HAVE to do lunch while we are out! LOL I have my coupon for the IHOP...Buy one Get one free, sounds like a plan to me! OH! I also have to get a birthday gift for daughter of the people I babysit for. I don't watch her everyday since she is in school. She is asking guests to bring donations for the barn that she takes riding lessons at. I think that's a GREAT idea.

Well off to get ready for the day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOYS!!!

Allen, we had that same weather threat and got NOTHING out of it!

HAPPY WEEKEND!

Michele,

Sounds like you are going to have a really busy day. But FUN one let us know how you make out at Kohl's.............

OOH Michele,

The kids are I were laughing sooooo very hard watching that.. Tooo funny, Thanks for sharing it...

One question for you I have been on the Cipro for five days and yesterday and today have had a really really bad upset stomach is it related to the meds. ???????

 

[WDWCrazzyCunninghams]

yes, cipro is pretty strong and can, as they say in wv, tear up your stomach. Try to take it with food, or at the least, a glass of milk and a piece of bread. If you find it's just making you so sick, you can't function, then a call to the dr might be in order. Maybe he can prescribe something else, although, they don't like to do that. But if you have to "stay close to home" because it is making you that sick, then that is not good either....especially if we are looking at nearly 3 weeks of this medicine! I hope this helps!!!

Thanks, Michele, I have been trying to take it with crackers. Just curious if it would have taken this long to start making me feel sick ........... ???????

 

[elgerber]

Wow, I hope everyone on here who is down, starts feeling better quickly!!!

Kristen, heavy antibiotics make me sick after a couple of days too!!!

Anyone want to come hang out at my house today? It's already below 0, and it's not suppose to get above 0 until sometime Monday afternoon. Windchills of -30 to -40 this weekend too! And the US National Pond Hockey Championship is here this weekend, outside on the frozen lake. No thank you!

Yes, Kristin, your body starts "storing" the drug and after a few days, you have "X" amount in your system. Some people tolarate more of it, or just handle it better. A short lesson.....medication has a "life". Let's just say that life is 24 hours. Let's say you take said drug every 8 hours.
Pill one...full strength, just taken
8 hours later....pill one is at 2/3 strength, pill 2, full strength
16 hours later....pill one is a 1/3 strength, pill 2 is at 2/3 strength and now pill 3 is at full strength
24 hours later....pill one is now about gone, pill 2 is at 1/3 strength, pill 3 is at 2/3 strength and pill 4 is full strength
repeat this cycle.....

HOWEVER, some meds have a longer life then others, so after a few days you have a build up of medication in your system, and some systems just can't handle it. That's why there are some antibiotics you only have to take for 5 days...example, Zithromax. It's because it has a longer life and therefore stays in your system for the full 10 days required for antibiotic treatment. So even though you finished taking your medicine, it's still in your system working away!

I hope this makes sense!!

Okay, now really, I am getting off of here and getting ready to head out! LOL Ya'll are addicting!!

 

[WDWCrazzyCunninghams]

and I almost forgot....Erika, you can keep that cold!! OMG! I would be buying me a ticket to FL right away! I guess that's why I don't live there! I shiver at the thought! Growing up in Cleveland was cold enough!

Thanks, Michele it does make sense.. Now that you have told me that not sure I can do 15 more days on the antibotic.......UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[RanCan]

Wow, that's cold.....I don't know what I would do....When I leave my house at 6:00 in the morning and it's in the high 30s-40s, I freeze and I can't wait for the sun to come up so it can warm up to the 60s!!

 

[pinkygirl]

OOOOH, I hope you feel better.......

Thanks Kristin
I just wished I could of had a long nap, but since DS is here I couldn't. Maybe this weekend I'll be able to sleep a bit more. As for my throat it is feeling really raw. yuck I hate being sick LOL

HAPPY WEEKEND!

Yeah! It's Friday!

Well besides longing to stay in this weekend - its 36 degrees right now and 20 tomorrow - I will be shopping too. Heather's zipper busted on her coat, so we will be out and about looking for any coats that are left. I think I'm starting at Kohls! Then over to Michaels since our Walmart didn't have the treasure chest, then over to Treats Unleashed just to look at the dogs for adoption..
A quiet day here today. My boss is out sick, the other is KC. So I'm goofing around as you can see.
I'm planning an actual birthday trip for Heather in July to Branson, MO. We've never been there, and she wants to go. Good package deals. I'd rather go to WDW, but alas, she wants to go somewhere she hasn't been before. The nerve!
Three day weekend for us, so hopefully I can keep up with you all!
I can't say it enough - everyone, please take care of yourselves. Knock on wood, we have not been hit by any bugs yet. Yet.
Over and out for now. Will be back tonite!

 

[RanCan]

Just wanted to pop in while I can......My stepdaughter's flight will be here in about an hour
I can't wait to see her......I'm so excited!!!

Kristin, I hope you feel better soon!!!

You too Pinkygirl!!! And try not to freeze!!!
