OT: Story - And this little piggy went wee, wee, wee

vj found this in rec.crafts.beads, from Kathy N-V :

]To that end, he put me on Spironolact, which is supposed to be a good calcium ]sparing diuretic. I hope it's sparing calcium, but holy carp! is it one good ]diuretic.

*chuckling* yes, that's what the MDs patients say, too....

Smiley faces in the feet. That sounds familiar. Mike would press smiley faces on my feet with his fingers while I was preg with Meg. He found this endlessly amusing. I didnt. I missed seeing my normal feet. Imagine my delight in looking down at my feet, many weeks after delivery, and seeing tendons! and veins!! It was as if I had never seen my feet before. Keep on keeping on.. it sounds like all manner of good things are happening! Diana

My blessing on you for this day is this,

"May you continue to pee until you are all peed out."

Yes, while not stated in poetic terms and therefore not worth the quotation marks, LOL, it is a heartfelt wish because the end result will help you feel better.

Obligatory elimination story(or two): Yesterday, I am killing time at a discount store. I am headed into the dressing room with a pile of clothes in my hand. The attendant has a look of distress on her face, and says to me, "My stomach hurts. I am fasting and I don't feel well." I told her that she probably needed to go to the bathroom, that the lack of eating usually binds up your body unless you are drinking lots of fluids to help purge the waste. What I meant was, "You probably need to shit. You are constipated." However, I couldn't figure out how to say that in a nice way to a complete stranger, so I couched it in more general terms. I asked her politely if she was fasting for religious reasons, which she was, and then told her that I hoped she felt better soon.

As I headed towards the exit later, the same girl was sitting up front by the cashier. Her voice carried clearly, and she said to the other woman, "That is the crazy lady I was telling you about." The cashier replied, "She doesn't look crazy."

Good to know. Complete strangers have voted: I may be nuts, but I don't look it. And so I vowed not to discuss eliminiation with others who I do not know.

Then today, I'm at the grocery store, buying chuck steak. The lady in front of me in line, WHO I DON'T KNOW AND DIDN'T SAY A THING TO, turns to me and says, "Boy that looks good. I can't eat steak. My body won't process it. It goes in, but it won't go out. Know what I mean?" And I tell her I am on Atkins as they clear her check through the machine, and she tells me she is vegan but her friends who are coming over demanded buffalo wings, and during this discussion, I am wondering, "Why are complete strangers telling me about their lives? Why am I having bowel movement discussions with people I don't know, and will probably never see again?"

Yes, today these questions continue to plague me.

Sounds like you'll fit in fine with the old codger crowd in rural California.... All you'll have to do now is learn to discuss the fine points of "squirrel" shooting....

Kaytee -- I believe I have found a community where I may actually NOT be the resident ecentric!

Lol! Becki, you are too funny!

Lol. I'm still laughing, thinking about the paying toilets and being on diuretics!

Hey... "squirrel" shooting seems to be a major sport around the ranch area.... (It actually has a practical use-- vermin control). If you don't already know how to "shoot", I'm sure you can get one of those fine cowboys to teach you, or just help with the bar-b-que and praise their prowness, and they'll all think you're wonderful.... Don't worry, they don't bar-b-que the "squirrels".... Kaytee "Simplexities" on

If it was me, I'd pay my 10p (or equivalent) and stay in there all day! LOL I hate paying toilets, puts the pressure on to get it all out at once! Sometimes your bowels just need to go at their own speed, yaknow?!

I am so grossed out, LMAO. Becki "In between the moon and you, the angels have a better view of the crumbling difference between wrong and right." -- Counting Crows

The "squirrels" around my father's ranch aren't suitable for human consumption.... They eat... "cow pies", "horse apples" and their own dead.... They're actually some sort of marmot.

They do cause some crop damage, but the main problem with them is that they tunnel fairly close to the surface, and a cow or horse stepping at the wrong place, can collapse the ground and break a leg. Ranchers don't want to put poison out, trapping over that large of an area with the high marmot population would be futile, and the hawk/coyote populations aren't really high enough to control the marmots (and they don't really want to encourage the coyote population to increase, anyway). So, every once in awhile, a "squirrel shoot" is organized.... Kaytee "Simplexities" on

EWWWWWW Kayteee, damn. Shut up!

Sounds like I will be lending Bec a shotgun, LOL!!

Carol in SLC My latest creation (11/12):

NO, LOL. I know you are worried that I am not going to like it there, but don't. Both Sooz and I have a good feeling about this.

Carol -- no, you can just pull your camper into the back yard and YOU, my dear, can shoot whatever-the-hell-these-things-are for me. Deal?
