Never realised that was a problem here (with one notable exception), I
skip a lot of posts so maybe I missed it <shrug>.

It'll happen. Tensions between regulars can rise to the point where it
all comes out occasionally... such is the dynamics of a newsgroup

Anyway... It's cold and raining here today, so we're watching some
movies. The cats and dog have settled around the fire. The sheep are
lambing like crazy (they always seem to wait for bad weather)... and
Mum (still here) is making Apricot Chicken for dinner again. And I
think it's time for hot chocolate now too. But before that, I'd better
get another loaf of bread going in the machine...

We pay by the bag. You buy stickers, $2 for large bag, $1 for small
bag. Recycle bin is free.

I take it to work and use the dumpster. We don't fill it so it does not
cost the company anything.

We have that on a few of the back roads here. Eggs too. A trailer on
one of the main streets has cut down plastic drums and sells camp
firewood for $8 a container.

Makes a lot of sense. One of the tenants in our building at work is an
HVAC company. I was in his place this morning and he was figuring out
who to service first. Smarter people checked out the AC a couple of
weeks ago and are ready to go now.

That's fairly common here too, so it must be a viable thing to do. I
think for the most part most of the time people treat them with
respect and do the right thing.

I easily figured that out. What I haven't figured out is the foot bumper

You don't need replacement parts. My Pella sliding patio door rottet

needed.

Replaced it with Marvin. Just had the living room windows replaced with
Marvin too.

Exactly! It was pretty cold just a few days ago, had trouble

We were in DC for several days some years ago. Seemed every day as soon as
the museums closed, the skies opened up and we got soaked. We never did find
a way to wait out the storm that seemed to last as long as it took for us to
walk back to the hotel and get up to our room. Then it stopped. We would
have to change out of our soaked clothes before we could go out to dinner.
Wasn't fun.

I really have to wonder how that would work out. I can put out
as much as I generate though there's a list of no nos they won't
take.

I think I'd pretty much break even, garbage pickup is a blip on my
taxes. I just wonder what my neighbors would do.

That's a convenient benefit for you, why not toss it in there.

I always see the service trucks out the first hot day. I don't want
to be that person who can't get someone in because they're too busy.
That's why we tested the a/c a couple of weeks ago or so. It was a
little balky but it started the second try so we thought we were okay.

It's running fine, now, thankfully.

That's actually pretty rare except maybe last year. Usually when we hit
July, and especially August we don't get much rain at all. The dry
season only lasts until Sept or Oct so we don't really qualify for
having droughts, but when you're in the midst of it and really want some
rain it sure feels like it.

We don't have central air so we don't have to worry about that, but we
do get the furnace serviced early every fall. Also get the chimney for
the wood stove cleaned before we need to light a fire.

We don't actually have much say in when the chimney guy comes out -
pretty much everyone in this area has a wood stove, and he schedules
all of the cleaning so that he goes up the road and does each one in
turn.

Wow! I can't remember exactly what month but it was summer. I don't think
we were married yet as we had borrowed his grandma's car to get to DC. That
tells me that we had flown there. So... More than 21 years ago.

Our recycle is unlimited and free. We pay for yard waste and trash. Each
extra 30 gal. bin is $5 extra. Although I could arrange street pick up of
larger things, it is generally cheaper to do dump runs. I have a sheltered
area in the back yard where I put such things. I no longer know anyone with
a truck who is free to do such things so I hire people to do it for me.

It's not so much that, it's just the constant litany of her digestive
and food issues.

was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. No biggie. It's treatable and
for me, easily manageable. (The ads for drugs on television make it
sound horrific. Maybe for some people it is. That's not me, it's
marketing.)

My chronic condition doesn't inhibit my eating of any type of food. If
it did I'd just avoid eating whatever it was. That's all I was saying.

Julie has posted many times over the years about gastroparesis or some
recurring digestive problems. When she mentioned posting a picture of
popcorn stuck in her stomach/digestive tract my first reaction was
"don't eat it". Seems like common sense to me.

Well...giant attic fans were more popular back in the 60's when so
many still didn't buy a/c. They worked at the time. Back then, back
screened in porches were popular for the same heat reason...eat dinner
and spend some time outdoors for cooler weather and some breeze.

Now that everyone has AC, most people are turning those screened in
porches into "sunrooms" Replacing the screens with glass and making
it another inside room.

Also...I talked to a heating/cooling guy once. He told me that the
best thing to do to keep your AC working fine is to turn it on just
for a few minutes, once a month during the winter. Just a quick run
will keep all the parts working.

That seems mean and narrow minded. A cousin married a man with Crohns
and their lives were made miserable with it - he dropped dead suddenly
aged 40. die Crohns so you should be thankful that it is not that way
for you!

Yes, I can see the benefit of them. I bought this house already built,
but when a friend got double glazed windows, I was horrified at the
price... although the window frames were very high quality and
probably had a lot to do with the price.

You're an idiot. Wouldn't have mattered what I had eaten. I explained to you
what gastroparesis is. Popcorn is not a problem. The problem is that I have
slowed digestion. In an nutshell this means that not only can I not ever
gorge on any type of food but I have to eat small portions, no matter the
food. Whatever food I eat moves through me so slowly that this is why the
popcorn showed up on the camera. Wasn't an X Ray but the camera they stick
down you during an endoscopy.

My beef with you is that you flat out said that I had gorged on nachos until
I got sick. You lied and I was merely pointing out why this was a lie. sw
then made things worse by saying that I was lying about the gastroparesis.
This is easily proven and I have the proof. But don't worry. I won't post it
here.

I have had paresis for thirty years. A few things to avoid: carbonated beverages - regular or diet, (especially the case a day habit), excessive consumption of roughage (salads), and excessive quantities of fats (that one gets me every once in a while). Highly spiced foods should be avoided and so-called "hot" foods such as peppers should be avoided or curtailed.

Paresis can be managed...good medical advice is available.

I have had paresis for thirty years. A few things to avoid: carbonated
beverages - regular or diet, (especially the case a day habit), excessive
consumption of roughage (salads), and excessive quantities of fats (that one
gets me every once in a while). Highly spiced foods should be avoided and
so-called "hot" foods such as peppers should be avoided or curtailed.

Paresis can be managed...good medical advice is available.

====

I don't know what paresis is. I did look it up. Means partial paralysis.

I have never ever heard to avoid highly spiced foods. They are not a problem
for me and neither is carbonation. I do have to be careful with the amount
of vegetables I eat and I have to totally avoid some such as broccoli. But
there is no one size fits all when it comes to diet. I eat beans and popcorn
with no problems. Too much salad, meat or fat and big problem. Some foods
that I can eat, others can not.

And not everyone who has it can eat. I used to converse with a person online
whose son had such a severe case that he was on a feeding tube. And some
people can do liquids only.

I was on a raw vegan diet when I was diagnosed. The Dr. said this was fine
so long as I wasn't having a flare up. If I was, I had to follow the special
diet. But he did mention one food that I was to never eat and that was
broccoli. That was fine by me as I don't like it. I did tempt fate once by
buying a purchased salad from Winco with some shredded broccoli on top. I
foolishly dumped most of the broccoli down the sink as no one else wanted
it. This was years ago before we had the food waste recycling. I then
learned that by doing this, I had to call the plumber because it clogged up
the sink. I did eat perhaps two bites of the shreds with no ill effects.

One of my favorite things to do when it's cold and
rainy is to binge on movies. Add to that a warm loaf of bread and it
sounds lovely.

It's cold here and lightly raining. Nobody could get our wood to light. I
suspect it is because it was wet. They had to go get some elsewhere and they
are out there eating now. I'm in the house, freezing and will likely make
soup later. We are slated for warm weather soon though.

Yeah, it's nice sometimes to veg out Quite a cool day here today,
probably the coldest so far this year, even though the sun is out.

many common medical terms have Latin or Greek word origins;

"gastroparesis" comes from two words;

gastro = "of or relating to the stomach"
paresis = "a condition of muscular weakness caused by nerve damage or
disease; partial paralysis."
His using "paresis" may have been shorthand for the full term,
"gastroparesis".

another example is when you see "-itis" at the end of a medical
term, it's an "inflammation of"

"gastritis" is an inflammation of the stomach.
(gastr(o) and itis)

"appendicitis" is an inflammation of the appendix.
(appendi(x) and (c)itis)

It helps to know some of these Latin word parts so when we go to the
doctor and they give us some medical diagnosis, we can have a clue of what
it is, without having to resort to a dictionary.

I know a lot of medical terms. Just never heard that one before.

How on earth could a person have gastroparesis and not be able to
discern what "paresis" means without looking it up?

Well, if that person was suffering from "paresis" of the "brain" it might explain things a bit.

I know what gastroparesis means. But he merely said that he had paresis. In
looking that up, I determined that it could be anything.
