Help needed on forum Saturday morning - Trav's not gonna be here!

Will try to help. Quite out of it right now. Anxiety in high gear.

Patty - if you're not feeling well...then just take care of yourself.

There are plenty other members who can help out.

I will be on late morning - but for me late morning is early afternoon for the East coasters.
(I'm not out of bed until 9:30/10:00 usually - so 12:30/1:00 Eastern time)

I will try and get out of bed at 8:30 tomorrow...and get on earlier.

Thank you for this thread, Suzi - I edited your post so I could put a little something in the title.

Hey all, my oldest grandson was on a skateboard for the first time in his young little life - and fell on the pavement and ended up with a spiral break of the femur (thigh bone). Surgery is this morning, and hubby and I will be there for when he wakes up after surgery. He understands that we can't be there early enough to see him before his 8 am surgery at least! It's a 2 hour drive to their city and I just can't do that.

Anyway, please help each other out - the other mods will be here today as they can - taking longer than normal "shifts" to help cover my absence today. So, let's keep threads from going unanswered (please!!), help each other and be sure to welcome new members too!

This is such a great group of members, I have faith that you will all pitch in to help keep things moving along with compassion and understanding.

Thank you!!!

I’m so sorry that this happened to your grandson and I hope the surgery goes well!!

So when we were kids ......we had sat morning cartoons on broadcast TV. (the good ones, not sponge bob, more than a while back LOL).

Now we have Lyme forums.........

Thanks, july! I enjoyed that...I'm realizing that I miss the cartoon days...lol


Okay, now you have to watch this - the beginning is a little slow...but it gets funnier...

Two cartoons with zero talking LOL:

Meep meep! : /www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd_41tM6H2Y

Pink Panther (best theme music) : /www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ktqmkYEfYU

Those were the days of waking at 7 with a bowl of gluten in front of the tube.

Of course I watch the potty-mouthed South Park kids today..

PS, I think it is sad that we have to have a thread when a mod wants to take ONE day off!

Wow, that is dedication and not much of a life outside of lyme.....

We appreciate you Traveler, but golly gee..... Enjoy life once in awhile besides family emergencies. You too Girlie..... You guys are going to burn out being on here ALL the time.

I guess I don't need a life outside of the forum, lol.
Don't forget I'm a mod too.

We have set a high bar in this group, compared to the other groups on this site. We don't want posters to 'fall through the cracks', or go for days without responses-or in some cases no response at all.

Everyone knows these tick borne diseases don't get the treatment from main stream medicine that many other diseases or 'syndromes' do. On the other hand, helping involves more than one person's personal experience.
That corny saying "It takes a Village" is very much the case here.

Mods are needed to supervise this 'village'. One Mod at a time is fine, but it's our communication with each other makes helping here so much easier.

Some have regular activities away from the board and and so some of us try to communicate our activities with each other so that someone can be here.
Emergencies come up, and sometimes debilitating symptoms, so some of us communicate that with each other as well.

Nothing here would prevent any of us (Mods) from having "a life". While we would still devote a fair share of time helping, it's these diseases that is mainly keeping us bound.


It's unfortunate for Girlie and Traveler that a few of the new mods, including myself, that were brought in to give them more relief, are pretty sick right now and so aren't able to fill in as much as was hoped.

We are all lucky that they are as dedicated as they are. I made the thread in behalf of Traveler because I am in the same time zone that she is in, and also 2 hours earlier than Girlie. Neither Girlie or I are at our best in the mornings, thus my request - in the form of relating information so that no one might wonder where everyone is, and threads going on answered waiting for someone else to help.

I think the mice decided we couldn't let a Saturday go by without watching cartoons while the cat was away.
