Split days off have their pros/cons. Laura I see you! Slacker, I see you too!
New avatar. Pumpkin is in front and Buddy is in back.

I'll go do it now, but Buddy has a bad infection that he's taking medicine for. He doesn't look pretty right now so I'll just give you a picture of Pumpkin!
And I usually have Friday or Saturday off. This week I have today off and work Saturday.

OK, done catching up on the last 2 days (10-11 pages)...sheesh!
Edit: large group of women and a couple men.
Everytime you say how toxic you are....Britney Spears pops in my head singing Toxic. Anyone else have this occur?
That's how the rest of us got our title's also. We didn't all start 500 some odd pages ago....you have to think of a good/funny one!
This, coming from the English stud. Weary/Wary??
Andrea - Sorry to hear about your Dad, my prayers are with you/him.
Donna - 4 more!!!! Wow!
Guy - "So, what do you like to do in your spare time"
Donna - "Get amalgam's removed, you?" j/k
Hi everyone else!
Had bad car week too- scraped a BMW pulling out of a parking spot=$800. Then yesterday, driving home from NH my car died on the side of a dark and scary country road. Timing belt=$500 and there's no guarantee that will fix it. It may need $2000 worth of work (car is worth $1500 and I just paid $500 for a new convertible top). It's a 95 VW cabrio which I LOVE so much, but the worst part about it is it was my mom's present to me before she died. I'm gonna be so bummed if it's gone! -
My nutritionist appointment went well. She says "so it says you were referred by Rachel?", I say "yes", she says "do you have a last name?", I say "no, she's a friend on the Internet, but she said I could tell you she is the one with the baseball cap and is really messed up", she says "Okay, I know exactly who that is". LOL! (pssst, then she clarified by saying that it was the baseball cap that did it, lol).

Susan,
Sorry for the excutiating pains a few nights ago... Hope you are all better now
Rinne,
You'll just have to invite all the Rachelvillians to the party next time, I'm sure we can all be good crashers...
Laura,
Hope all goes well at you appt.
Donna,
That is a lot of action this week, let us know how the nutrion thing goes today!
Everyone else,
Hi! Hope everyone is ok....had to read 10 pages cuz I hadn't been here in like 2 days Sorry if I'm missing anyone.

Dave,
Somehow I don't picture you as shy. Of course you have been using this forum dropping lots of hints.
At work and what not I'm not shy at all, quite the opposite actually. But when it comes to meeting women and expressing feelings in the beginning of a relationship, I am like the shyest guy ever...sucks. Oh well....
DAVE! you were in Fresno and didn't call? well poop on you! Could have sized you up myself for all the gals here. Next time, bring Rachel. I'll cook a delicious gluten-free meal for you two, with donuts for desert.gluten + nut bars + bean stew + stupididity = heinosity of the tummy.
oh yes, that is my precious Annie dog in photo. She was trying to slip me the tongue, AGAIN.
Next time we'll arrange something so you can properly "size me up"
I don't think my stomach would like those things either
Goodnight! BTW, love your new pic, you look really good and happy with the Dingomeister!
-
I'm pretty sure she see's it now
Would it make sense that this is detox?
I think it could fit the puzzle. Detox'ing from anything can be very hard on your body. Depending on what you are detox'ing, it can pull certain toxins that were "hibernating" right through the middle of everything; hence, making you a little sick from it. Detox can make you much worse than you were before, but is usually worth it when you're done. I hope you feel better!
Dave,
If you're still on.....did you get some pictures taken of the pups?
No, I was dumb and forgot....must have been my....uh....brainfog, yea! (That's a good excuse....yea)
True, don't really know anyone stronger though, she'll be back to normal in no time!
Dave, thanks for the update, and for all the support you give Rachel. Those appt do get overwhelming and its nice to have another person there to take it all in too and fill in some of the blanks.
Yea you're telling me! I get confused and I am practically normal/healthy.
Thanks, likewise...I was thinking of you a few weeks ago. I was in Fresno staying with a friend for a couple of days. Next time we'll have to meet up and (I'd usually say lunch here, but I don't know what you can/cannot eat) and throw back some nuggets together!
She knows a person who trained under Dr. Klinghardt...cant rememeber the name right now.....maybe The Dave can help???
Anyways this person specializes in Lyme and I'm wondering if Rinne has read anything about this person....I dont even know if its a male or female.....bad brainfog yesterday.
This Dr. is in Seattle Washington but comes to our area every 3 months...next visit will be in Dec.....she said I can book an appt. to see this Dr. if I want. The Dr. is all about Lyme Disease. I will have to ask Dave about the name cuz its bugging me that I cant remember.
Rach, Amy Derksen....but I don't think she is an MD.
Yea you're shy and I'm shy....that doesn't mix well huh?
#1, thanks. #2, Something to think about staying away from the Flu Shot, supposedly their is a bunch of Mercury in the shot itself, if you might be sensitive/reacting to Mercury already, I imagine it wouldn't be the best thing to happen.
I need a Dave, lol!
Well Rach, you can't exactly fight with like 20 angry women...so I guess you'll have to give in.....
-
I am really excited too, she might need more convincing though
Thanks for the update Dave. We appreciate it.If you were still in charge of her store I'd ask you to let her off on Friday, not that she wants off, I just think she needs off after this week's cleaning at the store.
I wish I was still over there, I wouldn't let her continue working with all the chemicals and so early knowing it puts such a strain on her. I would give her Friday off too
She's a tough cookie though, she'll be fine and then she'll sleep the whole weekend away and be back to normal (well as much so as possible, afterall, she's still Rachel )

Some shops charge up to $90 per hour but that is for really good places. Don't get me wrong, some places charge that much and aren't that great. I use a shop that charges 90 per hour, but they specifically deal with Vipers and Mustangs, and do work on some race cars. That's why I don't mind spending 90 per hour, but if it was just for my regular car or whatever, I wouldn't pay that much. My place that charges 90 per hour quoted me like $400 for all 4 shocks/struts. Donna said hers is just one, but even two should only take like 15 minutes longer than one. Donna, PM me before you pay someone a GOOGILLION DOLLARS!!!!
DUH! Has my E-Flirting become so obvious to everyone now? I thought you all realized this some 50 odd pages ago or so?? Besides, I think the cat is already out of the bag
I got the egg test...did not show an intolerance in my case. The gene test is done through swabs of the inside of your cheek (on your face, lol).OMG, haha! I was of course thinking of your face until you put it in paranthesis. Now I'm thinking of swabbing your butt cheeks, and I can't stop laughing
You know how some days EVERYTHING (like putting your underwear on the right way as opposed to backwards!) FEELS LIKE SUCH a BIG DEAL.Doctor's orders - Start wearing thongs. Guaranteed you will notice RIGHT AWAY if you put them on backwards!
Wow, sounds like an exciting, productive appointment Rachel!!! I'm excited about this testing!!! So, now do you go back to that lady for the "treatments" or does she tell your lyme guy what you need?From what the lady said yesterday she wants to handle the intolerances and what not, and let the other Doctors handle the Lyme and Candida I believe.
I will let Rachel tell all of her scientificness, but just wanted to add that it was a good informational (aka overwhelming) appt. Some of the most important questions were answered with positive answers, which is obviously awesome!
For now the lady wants to help Rach's body detox a bit so that Rach will be able to start taking certain supplements and eating certain foods that her body is now rejecting, but that are necessary to help fight the Lyme and Candida. For now Rach is supposed to be taking (you better do it cuz I don't want to have to kick you @ss!!) these drops to help detox. She is supposed to put them on her wrists in the AM and PM and let them slowly absorb into the skin/blood. I'll let Rach tell the rest....
Hope everyone is doing well!

btw--The Dave--Are you staying out of trouble??!!
I seriously doubt it. Anyone care to confirm this?
Thanks Dave!!!! I hadn't thought about that, but that's a great idea! I'm sure it wouldn't be long before the other one went too. The parts for Saturday's service were only $380-ish...the labor was $909!!!!!Donna, they are ripping you off. Check another place.... MAX you should pay is like $60-75 an hour for labor, and your strut job for BOTH should only take like 2-3 hours MAX. Total labor should be like $200-250. PM me if you need anymore info...
How about eating it while you're in the tub? That way you never get THAT cold....??
warm jammies huh? like what..... long johns?

Do you guys think I should be worried about my joints and stuff like that with this kind of work? I'm gonna ask the Dr. exactly what Lyme does to the joints...is it bad to be giving my body a workout or not.
Rach, considering you said you feel worse when you first wake up and better @ work (when you're doing all this activity), I would say you don't need to worry about it. To quote youre doctor.... "you have to listen to what your body is telling you" (which you somehow misconstrued to "you can eat all the ice cream you want")..... hehe. You never remember what to ask the doctor.... i know i know, lyme = short term memory loss, so maybe you should keep a log/journal of all these questions throughout the month.
hmm, I don't even think I have to say anything here.... you all know what I'm thinking....
Donna,
That does suck about your car, sorry to hear! $400 is the price of a really nice set of shocks/struts for most cars. Obviously most the money you will spend is on labor of getting everything off to get to the struts, so while it's off you might want to replace both of them at the same time. Might be a tiny bit more but it will save $$ in the long run.
-
I can barely remember my OWN appt....I always have to call and tell them I forgot. Even when they give me a little reminder card....I forget where I put it.
I have already forgotten when my next Dr. appt. is but I bet Dave remembers....his brain seems to function a little better than mine....only a teeny bit better though.
Stupid Lyme Disease. At least I have an excuse for my lack of brain cells now.
-
eck! that sucks....what time of the day is it over there? 90 isn't bad for like noon-4, but if it's like 8 am or 9pm, then that sucks!

Hogwash? You're such an old lady!
Slacker.
for my records on the last time I went to him, under notes, he wrote, "Anxious white female."
YA THINK?!
Awesome! haha....
I doubt there is a correlation here.....my best guess would be a severe case of the stinky one arm. hahaha!!!!
I think the alien baby like shouted at the doctor when we were there by the way.....
That's the problem with online friends...... They will probably all tell you oh yea that's a great idea....but that's cuz they don't have to actually hang out next to you. PLEASE do not rub garlic nor "OFF" all over youself..... for our sake.....
haha.... I was thinking of the same joke...figured all u suckers might get a good laugh or two.... hehe
Whatever! You'd be lucky to have me inspect you.... for ticks that is....
On the bullhorn like I'm a shark or something....."ahem (clears throat)... we have a reported siting of TheDave.....please remain calm and keep all your children and loved ones inside...."
He'll say..... hi... you guys are all busted for talking about me while I've been gone..... haha
-
definitely don't read the thread like i used to when i posted. rachel still tells me when you guys are being bad and talking about me, so i check in from time to time
Hi TheDave- The pups are getting so big!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Are you taking good care of Rachel?
I dunno, I suppose you'd have to ask her....
Dave -- Welcome back. Always good to hear from you.Thanks! just stopping in most likely.
Dave,Good to see you.
Do you have a picture update?
Not at the moment, are you talking about me or the puppies?
Hi TheDave ... you should check out the fourty [sic] something women thread ... we're having a good time there, and Rachel visits ... she went there on vacation from Rachelville ...well considering i AM a forty something woman.....i suppose i should
I lurk every once in a while....not often at all.

Just a trophy??? Trophy's are an excellent prize! I've gotten the tiniest trophies....some for 3rd place even but they still meant the world to me and I displayed them proudly in my room.
I've never gotten cash for anything...just little trophies, ribbons, t-shirts...stuff like that. I have alot of softball t-shirts cuz thats what they pass out to the winning team.
I'm kind of embarrassed to ask this but what exactly is drag racing? What are you racing in and where....on a track??
Rachel still has all the trophies in her room....like she's 10....
And drag racing.... there are different kinds. There is the kind where you can bring your daily driver car, and run heads up (fastest car wins), or bracket.
Bracket is if my car runs 13.7 seconds in the 1/4 mile, and another guy runs 14 seconds, he leaves .3 seconds before me. Theoretically we should pass the finish line at the same time. Bottom line, whoever gets closest to their dialed in time wins. If I dial in at 13.7 and hit 13.8, i bust...and lose. If I hit 13.68 and he hits 13.9, I win, he's .1 off and I'm only .02 off our "dial in" times.
Hope that all makes sense. There are also people who run "tubbed" out cars or really "suped up" street cars that might not be street legal (engine modifications/slicks/exhaust, etc)
On top of that there are like full blown John Force alcohol dragsters that can get upwards of 300mph within 4 seconds.....
Yep. Connor on the left is almost blonde and Daniel is dark haired. Connor has blue eyes and Daniel has hazel/green eyes...... They are as different as night and day. Unbelievable, eh?
Drag racing is a straight line really fast!
Here is a link to where we race. Open Original Shared Link
It is a place where you can race dragsters - those long pointy cars or you can race a regular race car. Unlike Bill, I race trophy & so does his dad. Some people race souped up cars but I race my Mustang Convertible that I also drive to work. It is an 1/8 mile track & it is bracket racing so the slower cars leave before the faster cars & therefore theoretically you should arrive at the same time.
It is not scary at all. I don't go fast enough in my car to have to wear a helmet. I just buckle in & go. Bill, on the other hand, has to wear this fireproof jacket & helmet & has roll bars & such like a regular race car you in Nascar races. It is really a alot of fun.
It seems like the time of day here in KY that I get on here everyone else must be asleep or something.
What times do you run in the 1/8 and what year is your 'stang? I'm on my 3rd, 03 GT Vert, triple black.
I have to clarify that is is not OUR restort in that we don't own it. We call it that since it was so small and intimate we felt we were there by ourselves.
And you were about to be my new best friend.....
ohhh gaaaawwwwd, Angel and Rachel in same sentence
I don't really like the milk and yogurt stains, but I don't mind jeans/t-shirt/hat vs. perfectly "girly" everyday, afraid to break a nail
I can't imagine you burping..... but it would "fit in" to the whole "yogurt/milk stain" thing you have going on Attractive...... alien baby and all
My husband was quite shocked when we got married. He didn't know that girls belched or passed gas. Then he married an undiagnosed gluten-intolerant!!!! I used to be able to outbelch anyone, but didn't, too embarrassed ... but hubby would always vouch for me that I could do better than whoever was challenging me. Now, I couldn't belch if I tried ... no wheat, no gas.
Good thing you didn't actually do it in public/contest! Haha, my tiny ex-girlfriend used to always pass gas right when we got in the checkout lane at the grocery store..... Everyone would look at me like I did it....just cuz I'm kind of a bigger guy ...... so to get her back, I would speak loudly and say "Michelle, geez, that one was really bad, what did you eat?" She turned RED everytime.....hehe
btw-where is our Village Idiot? The Dave-I love your puppies!!!!!!!!!
The idiot is here.... surprisingly he didn't get lost or anything! Thanks about the puppies...they're really fun...and dorky!
Why would you do that! hehe, good luck!
Omg...i Might Be On To Something

No not yet....trained them at home somewhat, but need them to go before they are 6 months. They are almost there already!
