Good for you. You're being strong.



Seriously, if you've had a lot of weather changes that can really impact allergies. My nose and ears have gone haywire the past week or two. Have you tried any allergy meds to see if that helps your ears?


I'm not a big drinker. But mostly it's cuz I'm still at me parents house and they're Mormon. I wouldn't feel right putting vodka in their freezer :D

I used to use Claritin, that's stopped working so I switched to Zyrtec a couple years ago, that seems to have stopped working. Maybe back to Claritin.
 
I prefer tea. I seemed to have picked it up from the one aunt I had that drank it in a family where both sides were coffee drinkers.

I like English and Irish breakfast teas. I have loved those since childhood.

The coffee is mainly a vessel for my new obsession with whipped cream...

I actually like tea but not very many flavors right now.. Earl Gray- hot (thank you Picard) or maybe darjeeling.

I'm willing to try others but many still have a very bitter taste to me...

Hot chocolate...yeah... that's what I get at Starbucks lol... I'm lame I know. Have never tried all the other fancy stuff lattes, mochas (that has coffee in it I know that much).

I do believe firmly that a body can build up a tolerance, and then meds have less of an effect. I have resorted to taking Benadryl again, and only at night time. It makes me sleep better (not so stuffed up or runny, I guess). I can't take it in daytime it conks me out.

i agree
i used steriods-based nasal spray to counter hayfever, (Flixonase, its excellent , only in NZ me thinks)just one shot up the nose once in a while.....i used to use it alot not now, my body/nose got stronger once again against the environment.....much better now....
 
Someone told me she was drunk enough to have sex with me. Really had mixed feelings about that, but my brain wasn't driving that night.
 
Thinking about how I miss TCS. (He's on a weeklong visit to his mom in MI.) :(
 
Why didn't you go along?
Visiting with his mother is too much stress for me now. (Long story.) Also, there is a problem with accommodations. (Have you ever visited an elderly hoarder?)

So, I'm taking care of the home front. :)

TCS will be calling me tonight when he gets settled in at a campground. I hope the weather will be nice so he can sleep in the tent instead of the car.
 
:hug: for you for missing your hub, Reba. I know how that is.

I'm thinking about my mom's birthday! I will be working tomorrow but tomorrow is her birthday and since I'm working, tonight I'm going to synagogue for a kind of congregation birthday-related service. My mom brought cake for the service and is hosting what's called the Oneg tonight.
I have her present. I got her a card, some different types if chocolate bars - milk chocolate with cherries, orange & chocolate and so on... and a little local handmade decoration for planter or flower-type arrangement. She could also put it outside in one her potted plants.

Not that sort, but the kind that think out loud. :lol: Stay safe and keep in touch with someone you trust. :hug:
 
Is anyone else's allergies making them deafer? Maybe it's my issues with occlusion? Because of my otosclerosis and since there's so much pressure in my head I can't pop my ears????
Yeah - I have given up on trying to pop my ears until the stickiness goes away. Feels too weird.

I lived next door to a hoarder , I could not believe the crap she had in her kitchen. Both bedrooms where so packed she could not get to the windows to open or close and she could not sleep in the rooms , there was no room to walk around . How are getting along are able to drive still? :hug: you're going to black and blue from the hugs you're getting.

Don't mind the hug bruises. :giggle:

I'm not driving. We stocked up on supplies before TCS left, so I should be OK.

We used to stay at MIL's house in TCS's childhood bedroom but each time the space got smaller. Now there is no place to sleep, no place to sit at the table, and the bathroom is too nasty to use. When I did go, I would work, all day, doing laundry, cleaning house, pulling weeds, etc. When she'd get up in the afternoon, I'd spend some time pleasantly chatting with her. Then, she would alternate accusing me of moving things, taking things, hiding things, throwing things out, or sneaking stuff into her house. Then, after we left, she would tell people how I just sat around doing nothing. After we'd get home, TCS would call her to see how she was doing, and she's start in with the accusing fantasies again.

At this stage of my life, I don't need the stress.

It's too much for me but I encourage TCS to spend time with his mother while he can. She's not in good health. Each trip could be the last.

That has to be tough on TCS . My neighbor's niece had to rent one of those huge dumpster that you use for tearing down a house . That was how much shit her aunt had packed in her house and was putting crap in he car too.
The aunt had to been buying cheap perfume by the gallon to cover up the smell , every time she open her the whole hallway sank like HELL and I would die . I never told my neighbor that live there now that his bathroom walls was once over in shit. My neighbor hoard that too. :barf: That was why she keep dumping the cheap perfume all over the place .

TCS and his sister agree that after MIL passes, they will get a dumpster and clean out the house. There is very little of value that they would want to keep (just jewelry and family photos probably).

TCS called a few minutes ago. He's at a campsite in Kentucky, south of Cincinnati. He usually stays at state parks but this time he's at a private one. When the owner found out that TCS is a member of PGR (Patriot Guard Riders), he told him the stay was free! The man said that he thanks veterans and PGR for their service. Wow, that was a nice surprise! :)
