good luck, Barb...
I have some serious fears of a similar reaction from my family if we ever decide to leave New England.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Hey, Bitches. Popping in to ask if anyone has suggestions for dealing with antibiotic-related stomach yuckies? Besides yogurt. Not for me, for my sis.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
There are probiotic tablets that you can buy at health food stores. That's the only option I know of besides yogurt.

For me, moderately brewed black tea with honey, and a slice of toast.
I am not a doctor, nor do I play one on tv.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Ok, I think I need brain bubble wrap or something. First my mom doesn't call and let us know she totaled her car. Now my dad didn't want to call and worry us that the tests he went in for are resulting in surgery on Friday! "nothing major". Ya, they are just removing your pancreas, and if it's too entwined with the spleen, that too! Nothing major. Ugg. My parents driving me crazy.

I hear you Omnis. I was giving my dad a ride to the VA last summer because he said they didn't want him driving home after the tests. What tests? Oh, they think I might have had another stroke.
WTF stroke? Wait a minute, another?!?

{{{Barb and Omnis}}} I'm sorry your families are driving you batty.
Omnis, surgery~ma for your dad.
Last night I dragged TCG out to do errands because I haven't been able to do them myself, and today Mom was here and we got more done. I still managed to forget things. Bah!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
This one goes out to o_a's dad, and anyone else... with a pancreas. [link]
