[horsegirl]

As long as we have entered into cute doggie pix. This is why I am a vegetarian.

Only when you get them at Long John Silver's.

Glad everyone in my house is napping and I had time to catch up on the 10 or so pages y’all posted since last I was here (which was only last night for crying out loud!)

Some thoughts, observations and responses:

Sheridac: I’m away from here 15 minutes and you have new heroes? Not five minutes ago I was lighting up your life. Now, I'm saddest ever.

Haley: You realize, I hope, that I was quoting someone. I don’t know who originally used the phrase, but I assure you that you would loathe the person who I borrowed it from. Even hunting veeps with bad aim can turn a thoughtful phrase. Maybe he's not so evil after all. (that's really a set up for HG)

Lou: How many ways can you find to freak us out and make me want to sleep under the bed? Dude, not a challenge, just a question. Your ability to produce freaky Michael Jackson pictures (redundant, I know) in a flash is frightening.

LaLa: I’m not borg. I don’t even know what borg is. Does borg mean freaked out by pictures of Michael Jackson and easily nauseated? If so, then yes, I’m borg.

Chapter 11: Good call on the pack of sheep. I’m from Alabama. We know all about sheep. Piglet’s post offended me as a southerner.

2xcited2slp: Welcome aboard! By the way, your name rocks.

Pigletpower: "WHO CARES what a name on message board thinks?" Evidently, you do. Or else you wouldn’t be posting this here. We'd surely welcome you in, too, if you didn't come in the door kicking a boot in our collective faces. Just some food for thought.

Look, I’m not big on conspiracy theories, although the black helicopters circling my house tend to make me curious. But today, leaving church, I observed across the street a Sons of Norway Festival. They even had a Viking ship and everything. I pointed it out to my wife who, no lie, said, “Is that a Fastpass?” We’ve joked about Mel stalking me, but now, I’m thinking, I don’t know. Did she really set up a Viking ship across from my church?

You are here and I am here and we have not offended one another and do not need to clarify things. All is right with the world.

zzubiewuubiewubbiewubbie!!

Don't be the saddest ever! Didn't you get my telepathic message? You are my Elvis! Don't you forget it.

Okay, one more thing and then I'm off. DH has got steaks on the grill and tonight is Family Game Night. We got the Disney edition of Trivial Pursuit.
Should be interesting. DH and I both take great pride in spankin' our kids on Family Game Night. The boy has already offered up a challenge so it's on like a chicken bone.

But first let me leave you with this. Just remember no matter how down in the dumps you may be, at least you're not either one of these two guys...

Yeah, it's a French (I think) talkshow host. So wait for it....wait for it....


Talkshow Host Loses It

Yall have a great night.


And ......

Pretty sure shrimp don't have fur.

 

[ZZUB]

Didn't you get my telepathic message?

I thought my dog had gas. Was that you?

 

[horsegirl]

Only when you get them at Long John Silver's.

Does this have anything to do with hair on little girl's faces? I mean is it the little girls who frequent Long John Silver's and order the shrimp?

Speaking of which, I meant to tell you I think you missed this thread.

Careful though my friend. A fanny pack will surely not do. Think industrial sized dumpster.

 

[sheridac]

I thought my dog had gas. Was that you?

Geez. I guess I need an adjustment. No one gets my messages and I have fresh you knows too.

 

[LaLa]

I'm putting three of you on double secret ignore b/c I was not offered a goiter

Lou, you wanna get in here? The man evidently wants a goiter.

 

[sheridac]

Lou, you wanna get in here? The man evidently wants a goiter.

Now La, this is a family friendly thread. We must not make fun of goiterers.

 

[ZZUB]

Sheridac: glad you have a good sense of humor. I knew you'd get the joke and not be offended.

What was the result of that meatloaf gravy thread yesterday? Anyone?!

 

[Frickles]

Y'all it is freaking HOT in ole GA today. Hey Zzub... are you my brother? I didn't post this on your TR since it is "off topic" but my dad didn't like running the air conditioner either...so I grew up HOT! He grew up hot and the a.c. would make his neck hurt and he wanted to breathe fresh air and not have the house closed up. Bless him. Blowdrying my big 80's fro caused me to sweat off a few pounds daily. kwim? The only time we really turned it on was if 1) we had company coming over and 2) if one of us were sick. We had an attic fan and he thought that was good enough (our house was 3500 sq feet so no, it wasn't good enough) Now my poor family freezes.

O.K...Horsey I think your dog is cute! I actually thought it was a kitty.

PMM....I love the smores tarts. Isn't that what you said was your favorite? My all time fav is frosted Blueberry and I personally love the crust part the best. Yeah, come on. Generic is not good enough when it comes to tarts.

 

[LaLa]

Oh, if you wanna get something done, you've gotta do it yourself.

Goiter, anyone?

 

[sheridac]

Sheridac: glad you have a good sense of humor. I knew you'd get the joke and not be offended.

You were joking?? Then I don't need to have my antennae repaired?? Good to know I've still got it going on.

Grammy's meatloaf wins, hands down zzubie. Just ask her dh.

 

[horsegirl]

O.K...Horsey I think your dog is cute! I actually thought it was a kitty.

Okay Spacey Spice. See the thing is. That was not my dog and it is a kitty.

Could you be any cuter? Frickles, Frickles, Frickles. I still love saying it.

 

[javamom]

MarkyMark... GADisneygal.... where are you!!??

Hey ya Mark, the place I work for has some involvement with Krystal's.

Next time you enjoy one, think of me and wave toward the North and West of you.

 

[sheridac]

Oh, if you wanna get something done, you've gotta do it yourself.

Goiter, anyone?

La~

We wanted to see your face, hon.

 

[Frickles]

So we find out that Spacey Spice truly was appropriate for me!!!!

For old times sake.....


Thyroid Goiter....Enlargement of the Thyroid

The term nontoxic goiter refers to enlargement of the thyroid which is not associated with overproduction of thyroid hormone or malignancy. The thyroid can become very large so that it can easily be seen as a mass in the neck. This picture depicts the outline of a normal size thyroid in black and the greatly enlarged goiter in pink. There are a number of factors which may cause the thyroid to become enlarged. A diet deficient in iodine can cause a goiter but this is rarely the cause because of the readily available iodine in our diets. A more common cause of goiter in America is an increase in thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in response to a defect in normal hormone synthesis within the thyroid gland. The thyroid stimulating hormone comes from the pituitary and causes the thyroid to enlarge. This enlargement usually takes many years to become manifest.

This picture depicts the typical appearance of a goiter in a middle aged woman. Note how her entire neck looks swollen because of the large thyroid. This mass will compress the trachea (windpipe) and esophagus (swallowing tube) leading to symptoms such as coughing, waking up from sleep feeling like you cant breath, and the sensation that food is getting stuck in the upper throat. Once a goiter gets this big, surgical removal is the only means to relieve the symptoms. Yes, sometimes they can get a lot bigger than this!
