Monday Again? WLS Express!

Good Morning Train!

WOooooohooo.... oh heck, who am I kidding?  Is it really Monday, Again???  I'm tired of Mondays, let's put it up for a vote and legalize the removal of Mondays from everyone's schedule... LOL  I'm at work when I don't want to be, but I'm not sure where I'd rather be, so here I am....

Prayers are going up for all that need them!

Buffalo Springfield's For What It's Worth, is on tap... so sit back and relax before the work day kicks in....

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away
We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Ya'll have a great day my friends!

GOOD MORNING! I'm with you on Mondays- they just keep coming back again and again! When I get to work from home 1 day a week I so wi**** was Mondays but we have a meeting on Mondays so I can't do it. It would be nice though!

We went to JC Penny's and Chris and I got coats for 50 percent off. They had some good deals. We're ready for winter now.

I have to get moving- hit snooze way too much. Headed to work and then a lunch presentation/meeting thing at the DFW Hyatt. Should make for an interesting day. Should also find out if I got the job or not sometime early this week.

Have a great day!

It may be Monday again, but living in the glow of the OH conference, I can handle it.

Had a good time meeting and greeting, being with my friends I don't see but on occasions like this, but now it is all up to me.  Back on track and back to the real world.

I will still take in my protein take my vitamins and I will try to add more fruits and veggies to the plan.  I will not take what one doc said and throw out the baby with the bathwater.

I think Chris S. had a great time and spent a lot of time meeting the people in the box.  He was charged.  He is about to enter a new phase in his journey and I think this was perfect for him.  Well worth the time and effort he put forth.

Time to get up and get at 'em.  Have a great day all..

Good morning!  Karen, I too was so NOT ready for it to be Monday morning again.  The wonderful weekend and night went by so quickly. 

Back to the grind of work this morning, but got to make that paycheck!

Hope everyone has a great day.

Good Morning All!! Woke up clear headed and feeling good. The weekend swirling in my head!! Had so much fun meeting new people and hearing their stories! Will still be eating meat and dairy but will eat more fruit and find more veggies that I can eat.

I somehow lost 3 pounds over the weekend!! Maybe I lost some crap in my brain I needed to get rid of! Hope all those who went and just lurk on here will open up and start posting we would like to hear more from you!! It is amazing what we can all learn from each other!

Been looking into non-narcotic pain relief. Interesting reading. All I am finding are "narcotic like and should not be used if you have had an addiction to drugs or alcohol" or an NSAID, or have crazy bad side effects!! Will have to see if there is a form of tylenol I haventtried. Chewables I have to take so many because the dose is for children and the liuid makes me queesy.

Well, onward and upward! Now, go out and make it a great day or just fake it!! Today I am going to make it!

Tylenol makes an adult chewable, I think they're called Go Tabs... I didn't care for the taste, but they worked...

hey meggles,
have you loooked into ultram (tramadol) or Tordol? i have found some relief with both..they are both prescription strength but are non narcotic as i try to stay off that road if i can (no folks, i dont have a problem, and dont need one either lol. 
also, there is fiorinal (sp?) which is not to be confused with fioricet with IS narc...
anyroo... i have tried all the above in going with the migraine/;neck pain/spasm relief and while they dont quite do the same as the narcs.. you dont have the narc issues either.. so its a pretty good trade off. 
im a fan of tordol myself...which i THINK may have some NSAID in it, but my WlS surgeon told me i could still take as long as i chased it with prilosec, aciphex etc and i dont take it daily, which i dont. 
Am more than happy to discuss with you offline and willing to help anyway that i can.

DISCLAIMER - to the person who started the rumor that i have a drug problem.. we all know who she is.. wears a really bad wig... no i dont and and can  pass a urine test at any time.... just offering some help to a friend in need

Have studied both tramadol and torodol.  Tramadol isnon narcotic but  narcotic like. It is addictive and  NOT reccomended for people who have had a drug or alcohol problem. This is per the AMA. Fiorinol is asprin and caffeine both of which I cannot have and is habit forming ie addictive. torodol is only for short term use and should not be used for more than 5 days. It is an NSAID and should not be taken if you have a history of ulcers, I have had 7. I have also research 10 other options. All are narcotic, non narcotic but not reccomended for people with a history of drug or acohol problem or they are an NsSAID.

Seeing Gi doc this morning and PCP tomorrow may go to an analgesic type med, but they are frightfully expensive!!!

Thanks though,
Meggie

well damn.. sorry girlie, hope you find relief soon!

Good Morning TMB,

The time change has me up early today so thought I would jump on the train.  It is back to work for me today after my 3 day weekend, Thursday is a holiday and I am taking Friday off so it will be a nice short week.   I learned alot at the conference, purchased a couple of cookbooks and some bling plus I got to meet a few people from the board.



Hope every one has a great day.
