Enjoying a Dr Pepper right now. Also enjoying the fact that I can send SMS from my laptop.

We have 13 baby chicks in the house.  They cheep and sleep.

I'll bet your glad it's only temporary.

So far it's not a big deal.  They're my wife and father-in-law's project so I'm just observing.

I've named them: Fingers, Strips, Soup, Salad, Stew, Gumbo, Alfredo, Parmesan, Club, Enchilada, Nuggets, Cordon Bleu & Sammich.

But can you tell them all apart??

I wouldn't bother naming them unless I could find some sort of difference. A unique trait that I could remember and none of the others ones have lol

I am SO tired.  I haven't pulled a long work day in many years now.  I used to work 12 hour shifts and probably was dragging afterward.  Yesterday, due to holding a special needs prom at my school, I worked a 14.5 hour day!  I am still exhausted!

Sure I can!

Fingers:  Breaded, long and narrow.
Strips:  Breaded, long and wide.
Soup:  Liquidy with veggies.
Salad:  Mayo & celery with some spices.
Stew:  Thick and chunky with veggies and maybe dumplings.

Parmesan:  Marinara & parmesan cheese
Club:  With bacon.
Enchilada:  Mexican.
Nuggets:  Breaded and stubby.
Cordon Bleu:  Wrapped around cheese.

Erm... is that what your chickens look like?
If so, I have some bad news.

Stuck home from church today due to a severe four flare up. My foot hurts so bad I can't even bear any weight on it.

Yikes. I hope things improve soon.

After they quit laying eggs, that's probably what they'll end up looking like.

Thanks. My autocorrect changed it from gout. That should say gout. 

Anyway, I've been slamming ibuprofen to bring down the swelling and it's helping, slowly.

Have you tried arnica?  It is an all natural anti-inflammatory that is taken orally that is non-addictive and doesn't harm your kidneys like most NSAIDS do.  You can get arnica at most health food stores or at GNC.

I use it for flare ups with my back.  I use arnica to battle inflammation which causes pain.  I also use a natural remedy called Formula 303 that is a natural, non-addictive muscle relaxer.  They work.  My chiropractor recommended them to me as he does not prescribe pain meds.

G/F, I love your new avatar. What does Kerrick think?

Never heard of it but I'll check it out. 

The big thing (from what I understand) is that I need to do something to reduce the amount of Uric acid my body produces. Back to the vegan diet...

The quest to rebuild and complete my Journey vinyl collection continues. The latest purchases:



This puts me about halfway there.

I still need Departure, Eclipse, Frontiers, Greatest Hits, Greatest Hits 2 and Infinity

Unfortunately, not all Journey releases were produced in vinyl, so this will never be a complete collection, even if/when it is complete.

So if anyone has Journey vinyl they are willing to part with ...
