Something About Nothing.........#7

From drugs.com:

Description: BC® POWDER: Active Ingredients: Each powder contains Aspirin 650 mg, Salicylamide 195 mg and Caffeine 33.3 mg. Inactive Ingredients: Docusate Sodium, Fumaric Acid, Lactose Monohydrate and Potassium Chloride.

Doesn't say if it taste good. Doesn't sound like it to me!

It tastes bad, but it's almost instant relief. My husband pours them in the back of his mouth and washes them down with a little soda or Gatorade.



Mac, Memphis is three hours from me. I didn't see Elvis this trip, but I've been to Graceland before. One of the local vendors at the dog show had a life-size black and white standing cardboard cutout picture of Elvis. Does that count?

Niki, sorry about all the stuff going on. When it rains it pours....

Your Homies are here for you.

No Mac I still have not been to the dentist to have the work done yet cause we are strapped for cash right now but I am hoping to be able to start having them worked on within the next month or so.
By the way I have tried the BC powders and while they are great for pain but they taste awful since its just strait powder

Hey everyone!

I haven't checked in for a long time. Things have been hectic around here. We snuck in a trip to WDW and Uni last month, so I suppose I should do a trip report eventually. I just don't know if I have it in me. We'll see.

The good news I have to report is that Joshua has been seizure free for just over 3 months. I am very hopeful that we have found the right mix of meds to keep things under control.

Also, we have booked a 4 day cruise for our 10th wedding anniversary. We'll be sailing DCL the end of September.

The bad news, however, (since I can't seem to ever have only good news) is that my mom fell and fractured her right shoulder and right foot. She is now bedridden in my house. These means I am effectively stuck here at home caring for her for the forseeable future. She can't move on her own yet, so I have to be here to do everything she needs. It's not much fun for either one of us, since Mom has always been fiercely independant, but we're making it work.

I hope all the homies are having a good summer.

Hey Tricia! I have been wondering how you are.

So happy to hear from you, even though it's not all good news. Hope mom is better soon.

Hi Tracie, mac, Bonny, Todd, Andy, Robert, St Lawrence and everyone else who used to know me.

Morning/Afternoon everyone ...

Niki - I can definitely sympathize with you. Both hubby and I are only children and with Lee being the only lawyer in the family, he has gotten asked to help fix the problems others in our family have gotten themselves into ...

Luckily both his parents and my mom are in relatively good health yet so we don't have to worry about them yet ...




And Jodie ... we could never forget you ... 'bout time you stopped by

 

[Tizzy_Meliss]

Afternoon Homies!!

Niki, how awful for your mom and grandmother. My grandmother has COPD, that disease is hard enough on it's own, but to add congestive heart failure to it, I can't imagine how badly she must feel. I hope both have improvements on their health.

Well, hey, at least you made the cut! I didn't even get said "hi" to!

Working on garage sale stuff out in the hot garage but my workers just left to go see the new Harry Potter movie. You'll be glad to know that I'm the meanest mom in the world and absolutely the ONLY one in the area who didn't let their 15 year old go at midnight last night. So now he's stuck seeing it with his BROTHER instead of his friends.

its that darned middle child thing again, huh?? meanie!!!

 

[macraven]

well, there is a explanation for that, on why i was included.


if i am omitted from the hello list, i might pout and take my toys and go home.........



i'm kidding marcie, i'm a big kidder......

 

[circelli]

Happy Hump Day!!!

Hope you are all doing well.

Niki here's a hug from me

Marcie

 

[RVGal]

Niki, that is a lot to deal with at once. And a lot to deal with long distance. And a lot to deal with when you've got other stuff to deal with. Feel free to vent. Gotta let off steam or else the pressure cooker blows. I hope things improve quickly in all areas for you.

St L, I am so sorry you are having more problems with your teeth. I hope you are able to get to a dentist and get relief soon. That kinda pain is awful.

Marcie, the job thing stinks. On the bright side, I think you were planning to look for something else eventually anyway. This is just a big motivator to find something better, and now you don't have to do the crappy job while you are looking for a better fit. It still hurts to get fired, no matter how unjustified. I feels like you've been slapped in a personal way. All I can tell you is that years from now, you won't even care. It'll be a blip on the radar screen.

JODIE!!! All the old homies are coming out of the woodwork. It must be homecoming. Do I have to buy a big poofy dress?

Tracie, how are the beans?

Mac (with a capital M), BC Powders are old time headache medicine. It's been around for 100 years or so. I think the BC stands for the 2 phamacists who invented the stuff, but don't quote me on that. They come in individual dose packets and taste like... crushed aspirin. I think they might have come out with a flavored version somewhere along the line. The pharmacy where it was invented was somewhere down here in the southeast (Tennesse? South Carolina? It seems like it is on the package somewhere.) and I think it is still primarily used in this area. I could be wrong about that, but it would explain why you haven't heard of it. Aren't I helpful? Do I get a gold star?

I know I'm missing people, but I have to run. Oh, didn't Katie get married this month? Has anyone seen here since she became a married woman?

 

[marciemi]

Nooooo! Anything but that! Wouldn't be the same around here without you!

I know I'm missing people, but I have to run. Oh, didn't Katie get married this month? Has anyone seen here since she became a married woman?

I don't think so, but Patty (her sister) stopped by and said everything went well and it was all beautiful! I guess the weather didn't cooperate and much was moved indoors, but still went smoothly. She promised pics....

Nope, I am. DS 13 wants me to sneak him and his friends into that stupid movie Bruno. He told me that I'm not cool--as if that scares me.

 

[minniejack]

Oh and I've gotten a nasty computer virus that I've been dealing with for the past few days. At least I can get online now, but it has really slowed my typing speed way down and it's driving me nuts.

Stupid, juvenile computer hackers.

 

[macraven]

kids and movies, i know.

we let son, when he was 3, to watch the Terminator movie with us.


i didn't censor movies for the boys when they were teens.
i figure they would sneak off with friend's older siblings to get in for the rated movies.

i chose my battles wisely and movies was not something i made a fuss over.


i see RVgal snuck in while i was away.
hi ya homie


and to all the other homies that were sneaky too while i was gone...
hi ya.......!!


yea, kfish did not come play show and tell with us.......
i'm with you on that one marcie.

i would say more but i forgot what it was ....
