OK sorry but you are way ahead of me so what is WL B ? I think the B must be Bantam.

Hey, no problems. Trust me....this group does MOVE fast. Plantar fascitis (means inflammation of something)...I am a medical transcriptionist (now) - know how to spell it, familiar with the word...not sure all what it means.

I'm useless beyond that.

Ya, taking ibuprofen is just not good for you and now I am paying the price. Probably do need to see an ENT...you don't want to be on antibiotics too much either. Not good for you. I had to wait for insurance also. Good luck.

I told the doc how much ibuprofen I have taken (over time) and she told me that could be a major cause of my problems AND it could cause me kidney problems in the future. I have taken way too much ibuprofen in my life. No more for me. Stinks. I am hoping it is just something that I can take an antibiotic for and then I can go back to having my coffee.

miss my coffee.

Oh I wish you were closer to me! We have toddy!

I hope your DH is looking at this toddy brewing system. Get this one rather than the one that's a bit cheaper - because this one has a total of four filters (the other has two.)
http://www.amazon.com/Toddy-Coffee-...9?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1322442674&sr=1-9

I have used this for a couple years now. My stomach is so much better for it. Cold brewed - and very strong caffeine. I use it as shots in place of espresso - my DH uses 1 part toddy to 2 parts hot water for his coffee.

It says to use one pound of coffee per 10 cups of water - you don't really need to use that much. I use about 3/4 of a pound and about 12 to 14 cups of water (eyeballed). It stores in the fridge for up to a week (at least) but it will not last that long

One thing you'll find is most stores don't sell a fulll pound of coffee anymore - I get my full-pound, locally roasted Columbian coffee at Vista Clara Coffee.

Ask me any questions you want - I'm pretty passionate about my toddy

And if you get to my side of the mountains - I'll send some with you!

thank you so much...I will go and check it out. The DH was having me look at hourglasscoffee.com - hour glass coffee carafe. Cold brew. I want to go and check out the one you are talking about. Thank you so much

You can try switching up ibprophen after 2hrs of taking tylenal, just as long as the tylenal is 4hrs & ibprophen is 4hrs, they can be overlapped every 2hrs. I had to do this with my surgeries (c-section yrs ago & wisdom teeth out last yr).

Shannon

Switching from this to that is not the issue, she needs caffiene.
Caffiene is a regular ingridient in Aspirin products as well as Excedrine as well as "Sports Drinks"
I have never seen caffiene listed as an ingredient, in any chocolate, but I would not say it isn't happening.

I have also heard tell that there is caffine in that brown candy that makes the ladies so happy.

Kruckeberg Arboretum has a PNW Chorus Frog restoration project, so you may be able to get eggs from them- I don't know anyone who's doing Pacific Toad breeding projects, although if anyone is, it would be Woodland Park Zoological society, so they're all in your neighborhood, right?

I've got Chorus Frogs next door, but none breeding since my little lily tank froze to the bottom two years ago.

I can catch some

http://bestsmileys.com/animals/5.gif

They're in the stormwater ponds north and east of me and the natural pond behind the apartments: I can hear them really well but don't want to give the neighborhood honyocks any ideas, or I'd catch them myself.

Okay after the headache went away I converted some of the space into Orp space. They are 6 weeks old and have outgrown the brooder box I had them in. So, yes, this is my spare bedroom. Please - someone remind me NEXT YEAR not to hatch orps in the dead of winter, since I have no place to house them until it is warm enough outside.

there is paper down, then a doubled over tarp, then paper on top of that. The "cage" is a dog pen.

Oh, and my DD "babysat" the Serama baby for me while I was setting it up. Since Bumble the serama is so small the GINORMOUS orps tend to step on her when they get excited.
So here are photos of DD and Bumble "hangin out":

So, okay, here is what I did in the room, orps should have plenty of room now until it gets warm enough outside:

meeting one of the dogs...this is Pica:

and here they all are looking at me. Seem to be saying, "what's up mom?":

If you look really close in this last photo you can see bumble in the picture, much smaller than the orps.

I'm chuffed: I haven't had a resident one for years, so long that I'd forgotten the significance of sucked-dry husks of slugs all over the yard. I had one when we first moved here, but it vanished long ago.

YOU are blessed!!!!!!!!!!!
Not to add: an Island in the middle of overbreeding humanity..................the frog is taking refuge in the only place left!
Maybe you can get a Fed program going on the Farm!! Protect the Toad!!!!!!!!!

I'm not so much an island as you think; there's a huge undevelopable (and in official conservation status as a City of Lacey owned passive recreation area) peat bog a quarter mile south and east of me as well as my BIL's family place adjacent to that, abutting the City of Olympia watershed, his cousins' huge acreage, the Nisqually Wildlife Refuge, the Nisqually Res (the part below the cliff, all 10 year flood plain) and the giant open areas at JBLM (some of which are protected as research natural areas, others because they're full of unexploded artillary shells dating back to 1916). West of me there's a couple of hundred acres of swamp and lake-shore in various protected statuses checkerboarding all the way to the Deschutes. If you've only come at my place directly from the freeway you get an inaccurate idea of how surrounded by suburbia I am- if I'm an island it's one that's part of a chain that goes all the way from Puget Sound to Mt. Rainier. It's not, say, Le Bam, but it also rains about 15 inches a year less. And I like it here. I have oak trees.

I think the Pacific Toad is a sensitive species already; it was on the list of proposed threatened species when I was working for the Nature Conservancy before I was married. I know the darn gophers are (it was a gopher hole I stepped in and broke a rib last summer).

We are currently less than thrilled with the Feds, since they've blown the dikes on the refuge, where we'd had the hay lease for over thirty years (year to year, of course). I'm more than a little concerned about how the changed water regimen's coing to effect that giant piece of fill from Meridean Road to the river, too.

Oh, well, sleep talking again: it's been a long, long day here.

The plantar fascia is the tough membrane that keeps all the ligaments that move your toes neatly sorted out and untangled. There's a corresponding one on the top of your foot but I can't remember what it's called. I learned these things when my husband decided he was hip, cool, and trendy enough to wear Chucks in his late forties, and ended up with plantar fasciatis, horrible ailment.
