Hey ,

Learn to ride, girl. I got tired of my husband letting his bike

gather dust, so I took a motorcycle rider's course and learned to

ride. When I finished, I dusted, cleaned, and put the gas tank back

on his Shadow, then sold it and went out and bought a Harley. He

bought his Harley 2 weeks later (couldn't let me show him up!) and

now we ride together all the time!

I fondly look back on my 40's which ended about 90 days ago.... A good friend of mine at work just bought herself a Harley last year after riding with her husband for years. She's just a tiny thing too, she couldn't top 100 lbs by much. She got a sporty, though I know women who drive those big old hogs, too... They're not that hard to hold up, as long as you watch the balance a little bit... let 'em lean over a little too much and you'll feel the strain.. my friend admitted to me that she dropped hers once. Just remember to put your feet down when you stop. (but that's another story involving alcohol) -dz-Terry Long <pawpawto3@...> wrote:

Actually, those Sporsters are more top heavy than some larger bikes.

I made the mistake of leaning a little too far one way or the other a

couple of times (I'm a slow learner!). Once, as I was sliding into my

parking space between my husband's Harley and his Honda shadow, my

foot slipped on some water on the garage floor and my bike leaned

over onto the shadow. Good thing it wasn't his new Harley! I had to

sit there on the bike, half holding it up until my husband came home

to help me get it up. Thank God it was only a few minutes or I would

have been sitting there awhile, unable to get off or move without

starting a domino effect!

, you be sure to let us all know about your lab results, and keep in touch.

You are always so good at making sure you mention the important stuff, lol.

Life here, at least for the moment, seems to be going along ok. Hope it

continues.

Hi Christene, The explanation I received from a doctor was this: using a bucket as an analogy, our bodies are able to contain a certain amount of toxin load, which the organs are able to deal with. Over our lifetimes, and with genetic involvement (as in our liver's ability to detoxify), that bucket begins to fill up, drop by drop. As it gets to the filling point, we begin to suffer symptoms of minor degrees...sluggishness, sleeplessness, constipation, etc. But at the point where "the straw breaks the camel's back", that is where we begin to suffer chronic degenerative disease and autoimmune illness. So, for each person, that would be at a different point in time, depending upon toxic burden at the time of implantation, genetic predisposition, and exposures as life goes on. Some women get sick immediately, and

some women get sick years later. It all depends on what the body is dealing with. It makes alot of sense to me, and certainly explains why nothing is really black and white as to who develops disease and when. Hope you feel better and have a very blessed Easter!

Christene . . .

I'm suspicious that you haven't been fully treated

with abx therapy . . .

I'd ask to be checked out for mycoplasma bacterial

infection . . . the abx therapy for that last for 2-3

YEARS! . . . Mycoplasma organisms manage to hide and

evade that long! . . .

Kathy can tell you more about it.

Hugs,

Rogene

--- I'm glad to hear you are keeping a positive attitude through your

tough times. I don't know your story...what's the court date about?

I'm guessing it's about the implants. Would you mind filling me in

or sending me to a previous message I could read? Thanks!

Love and peace,

Sunny

Christene,

Probably the reason why you feel poorly after stopping the

antibiotics is because the source of the infection is still in your

body. You probably have bacteria, mold and/or fungus in the

implants that keeps the cycle going. I think some people take

longer to get sick because maybe their immune systems were stronger

to begin with - or possibly because the pathogens build up in the

implants over the years, or it could even be because the implants

start breaking down inside your body and spread particles of

silicone and whatever other types of toxins throughout the body.

I'm happy to hear from you, and wish you luck in court.

That makes perfect sense Patty Thank you! But it maskes me sad to

know that I was so extremely healthy that it took years for it to

catch up with me. Now who knows if I'll ever get it back? But it

does make sense...

Well WWD it sounds like you had a working retreat so everyone else could enjoy it more. They didn't believe in sharing the responsibilities did they add that to the next retreat for them all to think about. Hope you did get something out of it. Most of the people I talked to had all the sleep studies done ended up with that lovely machine to sleep with did get some relief but ended up ditching the machine. I keep forgetting the end of month thing with you and Mel working closing real estate transactions - get it all done sign on all the dotted lines at the end of the

month with no mortgage pymt due the following month tack it on the end and it swamps the closers with everyone all wanting to do this all at the same time. I ask Mel - How's it going - It's the end of the month Mom - Sorry I forgot again. I don't call her at work she's usually too busy she calls me late at night and if she's growling it sinks in - end of the month. Toots you start growling to towards the end of every month ???? Love and Hugs. Deb

I

wonder when that will start? I’m still waking up 3-4 times every night.

I

get grouchy at the end of the month, too, plus that’s when my ovarian cysts

hurt more, too. I just try to plod along through it.

I

really did enjoy the activity & bible study portion of the retreat.

De,

It takes awhile to get used to the mask, is it staying on all night?, they come in different sizes and once you get used to it if you are still waking up, or more important, still really tired during the day, talk to your Doc, they can increase your pressure. You probably know all that and it should be set right if you had a sleep study, but people that get used to it swear by it.
