Today I am 47 years old and that one "Bites the Big Green Weenie, folks!" If I might be so bold!

Lord only knows..... How sorry I am for not giving you the updates you've become so accostomed to getting (at least one a month!) !!!! Butt.... have been trying to hold down a job and trying like heck to get use to a new keyboard... Well, I am done with my excuses. When I start getting E-Mail asking me if I'm OK, I feel lower than a dadgum tadpole trying to be a frog/toad before its time! I am worthless! I am the scum of the earth! I am a complete idiot (at least that's how I feel trying to come up with ridiculous ananlogies!) for how bad I feel for not keeping y'all up to date on my less-than-interesting life. (Please note the 'dots') Yick!

Oh! Yes! I have been working... I guess that's what they call going someplace and getting paid for doing stuff and then coming home - too pooped to pop! Or is that too popped to poop? :) I have an... ummm... interesting job I suppose... I am Administrative Assistant for a Water and Wastewater Manufacturers' Representative, that is family-owned locally! Been there 6 months this week - should explain a little about why I haven't updated anything in 6 months! Learned a few new technical terms like - "dried sludge cakes" (These people are NOT invited to any party where there is cake, I must say!:) and um... "effluent" which doesn't sound too bad until you read what Webster has to say about that one! Oh, and um... lots of unusual stuff that pertains to things like Ultraviolet Disinfection and Odor Control and Scum Skimmers... Y'know -
little stuff like that! Never much thought about what happens to the ol' poop goes when you send it down the ol' poop chute! :) No one should have to think about that - fer shure!

Tiz difficult to concentrate on GD updates when you have effluent and influent on the brain! A-Yuck-O!!!!! Dunno what they mean?? Look em' up! To repeat - A-Yuck-O!!!!!

Anyhoo... Been working and hanging around doing not much. It is nice to have a few bucks to spend on tangibles like food and stuff. But that's been about it since January. Just hanging in there and hoping for the same dang miracle I've been waiting for - for years - Tons-O-Money From Heaven! :) Not gonna happen, but since when don't I have the right to wish - and for the impossible if I so may choose :) I live in America and am fully free to waste my time on nonsense if I wanna - Tho there!

Had a bout of what I honestly believe to be a batch of bad Synthroid a few months ago. Went through a hell of a time. My system crashed. Had a bad bout with what I am certain was some bad Synthroid in February. Got a new prescription filled and within 3 weeks could hardly get out of bed. My skin started getting thick. Spent one weekend in bed because I could hardly see. My eyes turned bright red and watered like hell. etc. etc. Called the pharmacy and they would not give me the lot number and were totally useless. The only thing they offered was for me to call the doctor and get a blood test! What the hell good would that have done, eh? It would have shown my levels were low and they would have adjusted the Synthroid which is not what I necessarily would have needed.

I wanted to get a new refill, but since they couldn't tell me if it would be from the same lot, that would have done no good either. Tried to change pharmacies, but couldn't do that either. You can't just transfer prescriptions in NY. You have to get a new prescription anymore. So, I had no choice but to take care of it my way.

Started taking an older prescription I had at .175 for a week and a half just to get off that bottle of bad pills. Then got a new refill of .15. Even when I asked about that lot number they couldn't tell me. All they would say was that it probably wasn't the same lot because they've sold a lot of pills since my last refill.

Anyway, it had to have been the pills because within a few days of getting off the bad ones I started feeling better. And I've been back on .15 5 months now and am able to function as before. If I hadn't I would have gone to see my Dr. Dipwit, but I simply refused to pay out big bucks for someone to screw up and probably make it worse. It is complete frustration I tell you! No one in this area seems to give a damn! That's why I've been reluctant to try anything new. At least the stuff I'm now allows me to function. One good thing has come out of this though - since I "crashed and come back" I have been able to sleep regular type hours! Anyway, enough of that just thought you'd find that interesting.

Anyhoo... I'm going to close for now before I become too down to continue. I do indeed appreciate all the E-Mail I keep getting - despite the fact that I have been VERY neglectful of keeping updates current! If I don't answer your E-Mail it is just because, "How can I try to help you when I can't even seem to help myself!"

Anywayz - I hope I will be better to keep you updated about mah "boring" life better than I have been of late... FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS! Anyway - will try te be better! Sho - Til next time! Sue --{--{@
