Poor Evo! Sorry to hear about that.:frown:

Maybe this will make you laugh. I am playing "Miss Pretty Kitty pageant" with Jelly. I just took pictures of her in her tiara.

She is such a tolerant cat.

Sorry I don't have photos of the talent competition.

Oh, she's so elegant! :!)

Thanks! I guess it wasn't much of a competition since we only had one contestant. But we had a great time.

It appears that I may have broken my right arm last night. I didn't break it in two like my left arm. I have a very painful egg sized lump on the front side of my arm just below the elbow, a minor break or crack. I guess I will know for sure Monday when I go to the doctor.

This wasn't my fault. The Evo Child likes to work out at the exercise club here because it is less crowded than the one at her apartment, and she left one of her dumbells lying in the middle of the hallway. Of course I tripped over it and sacrificed my arm to save smashing my face. All in all a wise decision on my part.

I hope you get better..and the boo boo is not too much of a boo boo.

Unfortunately I have been diagnosed with a ailment the other day..:cry:

Sigh*...hyperthyroidism...well at least my eyeballs aren't swelling out of my head, but the gland is swelling out of my neck, and it's uncomfortable.

What led me to visit the doctor was the fast heartbeat and exaustion I had.

I hope I'll be fine but I don't want to take meds.

It's not likely to go away by itself and I know people that have it under control by taking medication.

Don't forget that we have chat tomorrow, I expect you to be there.

It runs in the family..my dad had it but it went away and he's fine now.

:rolleyes: I'm going to visit the zoo tommorow and actually that's what I did last week.

And I have school next week...ducks*

Sorry, christina! Having to take meds sucks...I feel for you. But at least medical science is there for us when we need them :smile: - better that way, definitely!

are you a scientologist?

Taking medicine only sucks if it doesn't help you.
 
  • #227
Christina, I think that Lisa is right, better give it a chance.

Evo I hope your arm heals soonest.

Yeah, well I felt like **** today after going to the zoo.
I was dying after the walk...more like marathon at the zoo.

So your saying

all who do not want to take medicine= scientologist?
how is this logical?

The only reason that I don't want to take it is because it slows down everything including muscles, heart, organs...should I include brain? (Tapazole)

We all hope!

Just like we all hope ~christina~ will get better.

But if everything runs too fast, isn't that appropriate?

should I include brain? (Tapazole)

Why, isn't that a different process? It's not a tranquilizer, is it? Anyway you won't know how much better things could be if you did not give it a try, right?

Hope you feel better soon christina. You should have come to chat :biggrin:

How's the arm?

Yes, of course Andre, however I want to take the natural approach. This would mean trying to solve the problem with non-manmade drugs. (I should have made that more specific)

I seriously would rather take bugleweed tea or suppement. It's a plant that people use specifically for hyperthyroidism. I reasearched it online on the weekend.

Thanks Kurdt ^____^
I would have come to chat but I was killing myself by walking. (I think I need the exercise)

Just posting this picture as a reference to the "Bad" picture in the "Bad" pictures thread.

Here is another picture I considered for the "Bad" picture contest. It was raining and the creek behind my house was flooding, it was twilight, so not enough light for a good exposure.

Here is a picture of one of our security people on a segway talking to the guard at the entrance to my office.

I don't understand why we have security people that can hardly walk.

I picture an episode of the TV series COPS, where the cameraman keeps outrunning the security guard on the Segway, and having to wait. Finally getting impatient and tripping the bad guy and sitting on him until the Segway gets close by, but can't climb the curb...

That's pathetic, Evo. What good is a security guard that is so obese that he/she cannot respond to emergencies? If they are not fit enough to help a resident escape a dangerous situation (CO problem, fire, etc) their utility is limited to perhaps detecting a dangerous situation and then hollering "ooh!, ooh!" into their radio until some real help arrives. If a resident is injured or killed because the staff in incapable of responding to an emergency (hopefully they have SOME training), I see a rich opportunity for lawyers.
