Granny's gone and done it again

If you figure it out, share your secret. I was just saying at dinner that I need to eat slower. A hold over from my single mom working days is that I eat very fast. There was never time for that sort of frivolous thing.

Valerie, I am so sorry that you lost your son.
I eat very slowly too but I know why. I have dry mouth pretty bad. I don't have enough saliva to keep things moving properly. I eat about a fourth of what my DH eats, and it takes me two or three times as long to eat it. I'll still be working on it and he's off in the living room watching the news without me, and the kids are long gone, lol. Sometimes I think I want a second serving ... but it's all gone. I've learned to set aside a small portion for myself in case I might want "leftovers" for my lunch the next day.

Oh I thought those were laugh tears. Hard to tell with you sometimes.

Yeah, sorry. Usually with the laughing ones I combine it with the actual laughing one. Like this but yeah

@h2oratt I love your avatar!!! Did you paint that perchance?

I wish. No I found it on facebook

I'll remember that. I'm sorry you're having a rough time. Did you, uh, take what you're supposed to?

Have you ever had weight loss surgery? I know that really makes you slow down.

So sorry....

I turned the van around heading out today.I wish I had that remote start so I could warm it up before I got in it. I had that in the van I had in Mi. It was pretty nice. At least if I HAVE to leave in this storm coming I will be heading in the right direction. lol

Sounds like bipolar to me! Upswing followed by downswing. Ugh, like a roller coaster!

Yeah, I do technically have that so probably. But I’m on several meds for it and my levels are good (just had them checked). Ugh. I am also on that antibiotic right now though and Google says that APPARENTLY they can increase depression and anxiety. Something to do with the gut biome and killing the good gut bacteria or something? As well as decreasing serotonin in the brain. Because of the gut thing. I found several actual scholarly articles/studies about this so it’s not just random blog from Joe Smoe LOL I find it interesting as heck lol BUT it sucks for me. Thankfully Tuesday morning is my last dose. And I see my doctor on the 9th. I will also mention this to my nurse on Monday.

Wow. I forgot how busy this thread is. Took me 10 minutes to catch up with today!!! So fun seeing people I haven't seen in a while. Glad most of you are doing okay!

Granny Hatchet, I'm sorry it sounds like you had a heart attack. That is very tough.

I can't possibly respond to all the comments I've read today. Still trying to soak it all in. But here are a couple that stood out to me.


That is amazing! I'm so moved by your compassion for this breed!

Hi there! All we have to do it get over that mountain and we'd be neighbors!

I won't let my husband get on the roof. He IS 70. He is always upset when I pay someone to come clean the gutters, but I'm afraid of heights, so he has to live with that.



I'm so sorry. It must be terrible to deal with depression that hits you out of the blue. I've only experienced depression that has a source, such as the death of my son. That grief can strike me out of the blue, so maybe I understand a little.

Thank you! It does suck. I’m sorry about your son.

I'll remember that. I'm sorry you're having a rough time. Did you, uh, take what you're supposed to?

Thanks and yup!!!! I took all my meds today!!! Sometimes I don’t and miss one or two doses (or the whole day once ) but today I took every single one.
