ahhhhhhhh, Vonn... I just *love* foggy mornings!

since I'm from San Francisco, the Foggy City by the Bay.... my favorite thing to do as a child was sit and watch the fog rolling in from the ocean, over the coastal range, and into the suburbs.

it looked almost like curling waves of water, breaking on the beach...

here in the jungle, we have a thick soupy morning fog, and the cohune palms and ferns drip... it's a magical time, very primeval...

the birds all hush, and the pond laps quietly, as the flocks of ducks swim around in the misty silence of early morning.

:cool:

good morning been up a long time didn't want to wake deb with lap top, Fin glad it helped some, and you are not weird I love fog I love windy weather especially at night and storms lol especially the wind for me see here is one of them there tag poems I wrote tag your it and you are given a subject and have to write a poem right then and there


"Real Windy Nights"
The breeze blows through the trees so strong
The rustling of the leaves and bowing of branches like a song
Raising the emotions deep within my heart and my soul
Some deep yearning from deep within me, so far below
I want to hold you, and mingle as one in the evening breeze
I want to hold you, and love you lifted by the songs of the trees
Come join me under the stars, and moon, and make me feel all right
Come join me, hold me, love me, on this really windy night


any who lol vonn you scared me when you said lake was gone thought it froze over, too soon for that, and i don't care if you like cold weather I don't lol, i thought you were going to say it iced ::::Shew: glad you didn't

Hey all! Just got through mowing the lawn AGAIN! What's up with that? I also trimmed and cut and now to put it all away. *sigh*

Frank, I meant I was back from being away. lol I didn't go far, just around the corner to pick up Chris and take him back to get his car. The T-rod was messed up. Dekalb is notorious for pot holes.

Anyway, can't stay on. I have to get Jim taken care of and then clean the garage. Yes, I am doing it today no if and or buts about it. hahaha

Sarah, if you ever want to share the site I would love to see her film. I feel like I know her through you. :hug:

yadda yadda yadda

Well, I had a "wonderful" afternoon of tests that would do interrogators at Gitmo proud. I would have spilled national secrets to get them to stop any of them. I had a hearing test, vestibular evoked myogenic potentials, rotary chair test, electronystamyogram (sp?), neuro exam, etc. I lost track after nearly passing out an nearly puking a time or two. I actually started crying in the rotary chair test. I was there from noon until 4:30.

The verdict was that only the hearing test was normal. He said everything else was very abnormal. It showed that one of the nerves that runs from the brain to the ear is not working at all. It is cranial nerve VIII and there are two parts of that nerve on each side. I guess one controls hearing and one controls balance. Well on the left side, the part that controls balance is not working at all.

He said that whatever is causing all the white spots in my brain probably got to this nerve, too. He is ordering PT to retrain my brain to use the balance system on the good side. He said that the brain can do that and that I don't need both. He also rx'd Klonipin to help with the dizziness and unsteadiness that I get in stores with a lot of visual stimuli and fluroescent lights.

All in all, it was a good thing, but I hated the testing. At least it sounds like there is something they can do to help me.

I didn't read up on anyone else's posts yet, so I hope you are all doing OK.

Frank, you should be in the hospital. Pneumonia is one of the worst things a person with ms can have. Heck, back in the day they said it was ms's worst enemy. Listen to me and listen now, gently but with an open heart. Deb wants her husband around for a long time. She didn't marry you to lose you at an early age. She loves you and worries more than you know. I know, she knows, it's heartbreaking to watch our husbands so sick. Listen (in my Obama voice), you only get a few chances in life. Frank,the guy with ms, (Mccain, lol), if the doctor says you should be getting IV's and meds in the hospital, please don't ignore them.

Jim says be brave and get in the hospital before you get so sick you don't have a choice. He said Frank, don't be a hero. (remember that song?) You are always worried over everyone but you don't seem to be worrying over yourself. Now, *SMACK* Look at my siggy, maybe that will help you understand how we feel.

Ok, off my soapy box. Deb :hug:

hey Holly ... sorry about all those tests ... I don't like any either .. because usually at THAT time, nothing is being abnormal ... until I walk outside AFTER the appointment ...

hopefully they'll be able to help you!!

FRANK ... :Oops: whispering 'You're suppose to STAY in bed! or you're gonna get it from Debbie!!'

Sandy - um, the garage?? again??

Vonn, I've been "supposedly cleaning" it for days. lol
