I haven't been to the beach in over 40 years. I can only imagine coming home from the beach, taking a shower and finding a crab biting me on my "you know what".

I think I would have died. No, I KNOW I would have died.

Imagine screaming in the bathroom naked in the shower and your parents have to come in???

My god.

Poor yorkiemom how did it come off? Melody I think I see a vacation in your future. 40 years thats too long. Maybe if your husband is well enough you guys could have a 2nd honey moon. I will keep my eye on the critters. I already always get sunburn regardless of sunscreen. I miss a spot and I look like a lobster.

Hi Daniella:

I think I shall call you Dannie. You sound like a Dannie. As for me and Alan taking a vacation, well, we haven't had one of those in almost 20 years.

That's correct. Haven't gone anyplace in all that time. Spent most of my life raising a son who has left us so now it's just me and hubby.

But we have each other and thankfully, we have our Dunkin Donuts in the morning.

And guess what we found out this morning?? We are entitled to a Senior Citizens Discount.

I marched in, announced I was born in 1947 and I want a senior citizen's discount. Everybody laughed and said "no problem"

So we saved almost $1.50 off of breakfast. Alan was thrilled.

But I would certainly love to go on vacation someday. I've been to Disney World so many times, I can't count but that was when my son was a kid and my parents lived in Florida.

Maybe Tahiti, or no, better than that. The Sahara Desert. Why the Sahara Desert?? Because for the past two days, I have been laid up with sciatica that happened because the temperature dropped 20 degrees in one day. I 'm always dead when that happens.

I was crooked all day yesterday and I started to straighten up today.

Hopefully tomorrow will be better. I don't take anything for it. Never works anyway. I did cave in and take two aspirins today. That's about as far as I go on pain meds.

I'd rather go to the bathroom, then take anything with an opiate. I can get them, but I won't. I just use warm compresses and move around. Moving is hard when you are spasming all over the place, but I do it and it helps.

Hey, I'm 60 in two months. I'm not Pamela Anderson any more!!!!

(Not that I ever was). lol
Mel

I turned the shower on it as hot as I could stand it, while screaming my guts out, and it finally let go... I mean, how would you call up a friend and ask them to come and get a "crab" off of you... Especially there???
