I thought Pepcid was an antacid Dotts?

Have you any idea what triggers the allergic reaction? And how is the tile work going? I hope you got it put back together...

I think I'll sleep like a brick tonight too.... those pain pills must add up to something eventually.

I guess your RV trip and your friend's dads situation are overlapping?

Zen it is an antacid but it has some antihistamine properties that work synergistically with the zyrtec....I have read up on it and the doctor is correct.....strange but true..

That's great... and now I want to try that combo! I've been using Benadryl for a long time, I buy it in generic at 300 pills, like $15 for the 300.

I'm watching Gambit... it's cheesy but funny.

Try it and see if it works. It's not a hot mess either... you're a hot babe, right?! No mess there...

Gaah!
Trying to plan this intervention for my best friend, half the family is for it. The brother says no, she doesn't want help, and she's too far gone. She hasn't learned her lesson. What??? Isn't that what interventions are for? And we don't "learn our lesson". We are sick and we need love. He has resigned himself to stay out of it even though he knows she will die.
I can't help but think back to when I contacted the interventionist for my brother, and we chickened out because it was a lot of money and we didn't think it would help. A month later he was dead, and I will always wonder if the intervention could have made a better outcome.
Aaagh, I'm so exhausted from the whole thing. And she is on a wicked bender now.
I don't know what to do.

Okay, Nursie... So, one person is against it. How does the rest of her family feel? I think that it is what your barometer should be. Who is the other half of the family contesting this?

Also, I want to say that I am so sorry. This is not an easy undertaking.

Where is everybody?

The "polar vortex" has finally arrived in my state. Going to close some windows and put on some jeans!

Hiya!

Apologies for disappearing yesterday. Couldn't get on to the site for a while and then had to go dogging, swimming and shopping.

I'm glad you had a laugh fenny, the whole conversation was rather fun, wasn't it?

Hope your mouth isn't too painful today zenny. It's a shame you have to go back to the dentist again, but it can only be a good thing in the long run if the guy is a perfectionist.

And I hope the medication helps with your allergies dottie. I'm not surprised you're stressed, what with everything you've had going on lately.

Good going on the running liz. :goodjob: Do you aim to exercise every day?

Glad you're enjoying the new job niner.

My mum has planned her own funeral too, fenny. Must say it makes me feel a little uncomfortable that she is thinking so much about these things, especially as she appears to be in very good physical health for an 80 year old, but I know that one day I'll be grateful she has planned everything.

It's sad if your best friend doesn't want help nursie, it would be much better if she did, but I guess those that care about her still need to try and do the best they can for her in what is obviously a very difficult situation. I'm sorry about what happened to your brother, that must have been awful for all concerned.

Must try and get some serious housework done today. I've not been terribly productive lately and the place is a mess, which is not good for my sobriety.

Oh dear Nursie, that?s a tough one. They asked for your help and now it seems you?re having to justify yourself to her brother? that?s not fair on you. I think it depends on what the rest of her family want to do? if her brother is the only one against it then I reckon he?ll have to respect the majority decision. Good luck with it all, and sorry to hear what happened to your own brother.

Get thee to the cleaning cupboard and grab that hoover Reccy! I know you don't do well being overwhelmed by stuff needing to be done so you had best get on it. (Tough love bro!!!) :l I guess it's good that your and Fenny's mums have planned their funerals. Mine hasn't, and we've never talked about it... and I won't bring it up if she doesn't in case she doesn't want to think about it.

I had to Google ?polar vortex? Fenny. Enjoy the cool weather!

Glad to hear you love the new job Niner! When are the rest of us moving over to Water?!

I have a day to myself today but have to run around doing errands... blech! And I need to get my butt to the gym first. I'd like to go sit by the pool instead... can't remember the last time, it was so long ago. In any event, my toofuses are much better today PTL.

It's very quiet on the thread... where are y'all?!!!

Orf to the gym...
