Totally possible!

(Although that would be slightly freaky.

I mean we could combine resources to come up with a total of 5 thumbs.

I've been sitting in a parking lot for the last 30 minutes, waiting for my excedrin to kick in. Now my vision is back to normal. Off to the post office!

ATAT might be missing part of a thumb. My mother in law is missing part of hers because she had some kind of infection and they had to surgically remove part of it. I had a friend in the past who was missing a thumb and a pinky finger. I had another friend who was born with only 1 arm. So, yes we could combine resources to come up with 5 thumbs should someone need an extra for some reason.

I need to decide if I'm gonna ask my APN for metformin tonight. Do I really want to put myself through those side effects? But if it will help..then it may be worth suffering through. I need to research it.

Spamming the couch....
Going once....

Jun 07, 2017, 03:37 PM

Going twice.....

Maybe I'll just take a snooze before my appointment and dream about what I could have done with that 80 bucks I'm about to spend.

So with Metformin, my dr said I was one of the people who really suffers the side effects, but most days it doesn't bother me much anymore. Just have to make sure you don't eat total garbage. Today's been rough, but I haven't been eating well...

Sorry, I would have responded sooner, but I just bought some clothes. I went into Target to look at swimming suits, but ended up leaving with a skirt and 3 tops instead. Oh, and some washi tape. Because washi tape

Thanks. I think I'm gonna ask her for a script for it and see what she says. Once I have it in hand I can decide if I'm going to fill it. I certainly won't take it till Saturday morning if I do get it so at least I won't be working if my body response in the way you described when talking about it earlier in the week.

I see there was a lot of discussion about thumbs while I napped.

One and a half thumbs because, Golden oreo wafers not chocolate.

I have the same number of whole thumbs that the late pitcher Mordecai "Three Finger" Brown had.

But I have always wondered why Siskel and Ebert had only two thumbs between them.

A tip from my doctor that was really helpful: don't take the full dose initially. I take 4 a day (2 in the AM, 2 in the PM) so I started with 1 in the AM. Once I could tolerate that, 1 in the AM, 1 in the PM. It took me like, 6 weeks to reach my actual dose. But that way I didn't just say, "wow, I feel miserable" and quit taking it.

I actually like the golden wafers better.
I'm getting ready to make a lot of enemies...

I don't like chocolate.

I've read that one should start with a low dose and add more gradually. I don't even know if she will give it to me, so I'll wait till I go to figure that all out.

I'll take the blow for you: I don't like oreos.

There.

Except dipped in sweet-ish red wine. Regular old pedestrian oreos dipped in cheap red wine really do transcend their circumstances.

Atat, we're here for you, 1.5 thumbs or 5.

*retreats into a hole to count thumbs*

I don't like chocolate.

Thirty years ago as a small child I loathed chocolate. Despite that, at one family party I bit into one of my aunt's chocolate cookies. I announced to my mother, at the top of my lungs, in a lull in the conversation, "these taste ICK." Everyone laughed, even my aunt, and I was so embarassed I hid under a table. (Easily one of the two most embarassing moments of my life.)

Ever since, the family has called them ick cookies. And me? I learned to like chocolate, but I still don't like those cookies.

Godspeed jdna

Just don't be like the lady whose car I hit last year, who was such a jerk about the whole thing to everyonr that the cop walked over to me and let me off with a warning. For failing to yield to oncoming traffic.

Jun 07, 2017, 04:22 PM

I like chocolate, just not the smell of it. My husband was eating M&Ms the other day then talked right near my face and I'm "Yo, could you not breathe chocolate in my face. Gross"

Grandson surgery postponed until tomorrow.

Jun 07, 2017, 04:40 PM

I'm glad I'm not the only one with a chocolate aversion. It makes me feel like I'm among people who may understand me.

In other news, I've made an egregious error. I forgot that the post office closes at 5. By the time I was done at Target, I couldn't mail off bio mom's thing. I've been putting this off for a year. One more day won't hurt.

anais_anais · Jun 07, 2017, 05:18 PM

Latest episode of The Life of Anais:

I've been referring to a work colleague as Mr. Honeybutt.

Not in jest, as his real and actual name. But I've awarded myself a great many thumbs for keeping a straight face.

I just found out I've had it wrong this whole time. It's HoneyCUTT.
