Wasted 9.5 Hours

TaxiLady @Ghostlady (1515) • United States 7 Feb

I was feeling bad and thought maybe I could try taking what was left of the anti-biotic that made me itch so bad. I have always felt like the reaction I had was because of taking Musinex with it. So before I took the pill, I got...

Heather Echola I hope they figure out what it is that made you feel like you needed to finish that antibiotic.

Rest of The Story

TaxiLady @Ghostlady (1515) • United States 7 Feb

While in the Er, I was stuck in a wheelchair that can only be moved by someone holding the handle in the back. I had my hospital bag I keep ready so I don't have to have Tom gather what I need when I get admitted. My purse and a...

Heather Echola You sound like you stay as prepared as you can be, and then, as you say, sometimes kind people look out for you.

Well now I'm all fired up

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (121127) • United States 7 Feb

As anyone who reads my posts even occasionally knows I do a lot of virtual tutoring after work. It is at least 1 hour per day, usually 2, and sometimes even 3. I've been taking everything I can for several years from all 3 high...

Heather Echola Pay sheet mess ups are enough to make you want to walk away and never look back. I am experiencing some problems getting my PTO to show on my time sheets.

I Had a Pretty Big Allergic Reaction Yesterday

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (27) • United States 14h

I am allergic to tree nuts. Not peanuts. Tree nuts. We had an old plastic bottle that used to contain Planter's Peanuts. We had washed it and I had put some of my protein chips in there to transport them on my trip to Japan...

Heather Echola Fortunately I have not had any bad reaction to foods. I do have a little trouble with the things that they fragrance laundry soap and bar soap with, but they are not life threatening. I am glad you figured it out. If the jars were plastic they could have...

Skeleton crew

Angie @andriaperry (118051) • Anniston, Alabama 19h

I just finished my 10.5 hours of work, with a skeleton crew. Only five employees, besides me and the assistant manager, ran the entire store. I'm glad it was a slow day. I had a good crew tonight, when one slacked I moved that...

Heather Echola Are your co workers ill? Ours are. We have run on skeleton crew in our program all week. Each of the three that are out have come back for one day and then run a fever, had stomach issues and/or just are too week. Same with the two kids who have been out. They...

A new item on my bucket list

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (42205) • United States 7 Feb

Do you have a bucket list? Mine previously included going to Scotland to visit a childhood friend, but too old for that now. But recently I've facetiously added two trips I want to take. One is to Brazil and one is to...

Heather Echola Bucket list for me,or us, is lots of local tourism. As I have gotten older I have found I put less and less effort into hair and makeup, but sometimes I look in the mirror and can say "Hey, I look pretty good today".

Sunny Side Up Eggs

Some Witch @somewitch (1839) 7 Feb

Also known as the only sun I get to see these days. With bacon. I had to finish the bacon I had left, and gladly did so. Maybe not the prettiest dish you've ever seen, but it was tasty and my belly is merry. I would like to buy...

Heather Echola 80 or 85% lean is really lean enough. It has flavor and is not too greasy. I would go with 80% ground, also known as ground chuck. My husband would say cheddar cheese, the sharper the better. I would say Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack in your southwestern...

Poor Man's Gatorade! How The Horse has saved $20 over the past two weeks.

The Horse @TheHorse (222592) • Walnut Creek, California 7 Feb

I drink fluids often, and some of them are more healthy than others. Among my favorites is Scotch whiskey, which I tend to drink after a day of teaching at Guitar Center. And then there is coffee, which I drink pretty much every...

Heather Echola I have been known to make home made creamer for hubby and will do it again in the future. Right now I am cooking the bare minimum. The bit of salt and the sugar and probably potassium from the lemons should do the trick. I want to make a blueberry lemon quick...

Question of the Day: How does Rain Effect Your Mood

DB @dgobucks226 (35983) 7 Feb

In what ways does rain effect your mood. After reading some old peanuts comic strips which used rain as a topic, it made me wonder just what mood would pertain to me. Maybe you feel the same about rain as I do. Or you might be...

Chronic Back Pain.

rakski @rakski (130961) • Philippines 15h

I had a teleconsult with a doctor a few days ago and I asked her about my right low back which I frequently experience nowadays. I am not sure if it's because of my weight or too much sitting. I have also a little tingling...

Heather Echola Rehab should help. Many people get this kind of discomfort. Often it is from the sciatic nerve, and special exercises help a lot.

Kareng @kareng (66441) • United States 22h

We had two days away in the motor-home

Judy Evans @JudyEv (345279) • Rockingham, Australia 6 Feb

I’m sorry I didn’t let my myLot friends know that I’d be missing for a few days. We took our new (to us) motor-home away for two nights to get used to it and to get any bugs ironed out, which means fix any small problems. We...

Heather Echola Love the vases. My mom loved this style of vases and painting. I think as we get older we do not want to go away when it is too hot or too cold.

Another minor hiccup with our motor-home

Judy Evans @JudyEv (345279) • Rockingham, Australia 19h

Heather Echola It seems whenever you get a "new to you" vehicle there are minor things that must be seen to right away.

Strange Things Are Happening

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (82219) • Daytona Beach, Florida 7 Feb

It seemed every day I was reading about plane crashes. Today I also saw a small plane had crashed down and landed on a bus. Almost makes you not want to go outside. Who knows what might land on you? Then in Alaska, we have a plane...

Any Plans for Super Bowl 25?!

Heather Echola We have some lakes and such where I could walk. Or the vacant field across from my house. I did not mind coyotes when I could hear them at my grandparents' but hearing them right nearby here in "town" was a little disturbing.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (74440) • Daytona Beach, Florida 4 Feb
