Daily Check In Thread For All!!! #130...

I finally got my Wellbutrin which was lost in the mail. We moved and the post office is a bit... dumb. I was on 150 mg because I couldn't handle swallowing more than 1 pill due to a throw up incident the other day... Now I can do 300 mg with one pill. I had to revert back to swallowing my pills with yogurt. I think I'm doing ok as far as the bad thoughts go. They are absent right now and I'm very glad. Hopefully it stays well.

Question though: Does Wellbutrin make you aggressive? Or is it just more energy I get from giving my mind the rest it deserves?

Trying to stay positive. Not easy, considering half of my stuff is still outside on the lawn and it will be another week before we are done with the exterminator and can start bringing things back into the house.

I picked up some caulk to start filling cracks and holes, preparing to paint.

Want to take advantage of the lack of furniture and get a fresh look inside. Make something positive happen from this chaos.

Thanks Trina...I needed that. Just now in the midst of compiling next week's smilers. Your kind words did "brighten" me.

You know, we really don't visit your relatives enough.

Why shouldn't you tell a secret to a pig?
Because he's a squealer!

What's the anwer?
Which colony was higher in latitude, Upper Canada or Lower Canada?

Previous question & answer:
What do honey bees collect?
Honey bees collect pollen and nectar as food for the entire colony, and as they do, they pollinate plants.

Nectar stored within their stomachs is passed from one worker to the next until the water within it diminishes. At this point, the nectar becomes honey, which workers store in the cells of the honeycomb

hi everyone. ironing out 10!!!

Girlfriend is on her way down, time to put on my 'happy face'. At least she acknowledges that I try my best to keep things as 'normal' as possible. Part of me loves her visits, part of me wishes she would stay home until I get the house back together. She also doesn't think my children do enough and it gets very stressful. My daughter and grandson live with me and when she is here, she doesn't 'pretend'. It makes them very uncomfortable. At least my daughter has an MRI scheduled and will be out for a while and then this evening I hope to 'treat' them to a movie, get them out of the house, away from the tension, and hopefully give them something enjoyable to do.

I also have to deal with my 'resentful' feelings about being 'interupted'. Not that I have a 'schedule' to keep but summer can be 'problematic'. She is a teacher, so during the school year she only has weekends to come down. Since it is summer now, she comes on Friday. I don't know why this bothers me, I should be glad for the extra time, but I feel annoyed instead. It really throws me off.

Anyway, thanks for letting me get this out a bit. Maybe it will help me deal a little better, knowing I've expressed it 'outloud' and didn't keep it all to myself to grow into some big, ridiculous monster.

Did you hear about the circus fire?
......It was intense.

What's the anwer?
..Where did english muffins originate (answer tomorrow)

Previous question & answer:
Which colony was higher in latitude, Upper Canada or Lower Canada?
Lower Canada is higher in latitude
What makes it the most confusing is perhaps that many parts of Lower Canada are in fact North of Upper Canada, because it has to do with the river not the latitude North-South.

Upper Canada is now Ontario, and Lower Canada is now Quebec. The Upper was called that because it was upstream (and therefore higher) than the Lower/downstream part.

Good morning everybody!!!

Hugs, Karen...

Will be back in a bit...

American Muffins, Ha!!! Thanks for the info Joyce, I enjoyed reading. Was up earlier but went back to bed for a bit. I get up so early... Just can't sleep sometimes.

I hope you have a good day today. Hot here I understand that this will be the last HOT day. Suppose to start cooling down tomorrow.

Hugs to all!!!

Karen...

Good morning Karen and pitmom

Yes, heat wave for us here too, in Pennsylvania. Humidity is going to be high as well. Expect to use the AC today. Seven days in the high 90's .

We try to use it as little as possible for economic reasons...but enough is enough!

Grocery shopping today. We get discounts if we spend a certain amount toward the cost of gasoline. (so far this month we've acquired $1.40 off each gallon of current gas price). 25 gallons just once a month. It's a substantial saving.

See y'all tomorrow

Hi Trina,
I believe Enough is Enough keeps the internet safe for children.

We live in Chester County...close to Delaware border, about 45 miles from Philly. Have been here for 50 plus years even though I'm from Massachusetts and husband from Michigan. Nice part of the country.

double letters?

How are you this morning Joyce? I think we might get rain today but it is hot again and I fear storms. We shall see.

Have a good day all!!!

Hugs, Karen...
