Boogers

I know this is gross but I have a lot more boogers since I started treatment.  I mean, a lot more!  Some of them have blood in them but I do not have nose bleeds.  Is this normal?

Heck the boogers just about did rocker in. Any more and we would have had to call nine hundred and eleven

I'll go maybe 3 days sleeping 4 hrs a night at the most. Then go a couple days and relly sleep. At age 20 4hrs of sleep was a lot. But pushin 50 and it catches up real soon. How come my mind never left childhood but my body did? Maybe theres a study out there.

I hear ya on the boogers.  It is OUT OF CONTROL.  Anyone know if there is a market for this type of thing?  Might this be my ticket to fortune!?  The thing that I hate is they alternate between being dry and crusty and downright PAINFUL to those big green globbery boogers that you speak of.  It's always an adventure when I blow my nose 1000 times a day!

If you girls have a Mason jar you could collect them and have a competition. Would ones body weight be considered in the porduction of mucus? If you swallow blue food die would it have an affect? When you flick do you calculate arch and windage in the room? There is so little time and so many questions I have. Dale

funny you mentioned chumming.... my son the PA, just spent his month rotation in the obgyn- and the nickname for the rotation in the chum bucket.  He got in trouble in school for refering to the vagina monologues.....I told him that was a much more politically incorrect term....

You know its hard for a man to trust anything that can bleed for seven days without dying. Dale

YES!!  I have the same problem...I am using to my advantage though.  You see my husband has always freaked me out with his big snotty bugars so now I can actually compete with him.  He is pretty amazed with his wife can now come up with.  He used to just laugh at me before and go "oh look how cute you itty bitty bugars are"  Now AhHa I have some real winners comin' outta there.

We are awful cause the kid is getting pretty proud of his too....oh boy what a family we make.

Better thanks. Just a day at work where a client wanted to give me a hard time over his mistake. Put a 5 gallon bag of milk in the machine slams the door shut but didn't have the bag all the way in first. so it split the bag and milks going everywhere, calls me and wants to know what to do.. Well duh, first get the durn bag out and put it in the sink first. Then get a towel and clean up your mess. Wants me to come right over, ok give me 10 minutes. He admits it was his fault but wants me to pay for it, I told him if the company payed everytime some one screwed up soon there would be no company. Now when this happens to a worker making a whole 5 bucks an hour, no problem. I gladly pay out of pocket. Wouldn't want them to pay for it or be in trouble with their boss. But when a owner then its different. But after walking out i thought twice and called a driver to drop off a new one and charge the invoice to me. Got back to the office and the boss says wheres the bag? i said in the trash why? Well we need it to see if it was defective. I said in a loud voice it wasn't why in the hell you think i payed for it? Everything got real quite, their not use to be raising my voice. Walked out said see you tomorrow.

Is it the meds? or is it lack of sleep and not having any control on how it turns out? I think the no control thing is my biggest problem.

OK, I think I can trump spilled milk..... had to sit in on a conference call- on an endangered fish that is in one location only, they are down to 38 fish, one backup population that has 25 fish, and to make a long story short, my bosses boss offers me up to write a four part proposal by..... Thursday.

Found out at lunch that my mom-78, who went to see her brother -73, in Scotts Bluff Nebraska who had a stroke-are both headed my way to stay with me while they try and decide where said Uncle and she should live, so she can take care of him.  I have a two bedroom house, two dogs, two cats, 24 baby chickens, and I thought things were smooth sailing until...picking up 17 pigeons on saturday...

my home in georgia is under the govt. buyout program, and the house inspection said 0-2 years life on roof.  Its not leaking, in 2003 inspection said it was good, now they want me to put a new roof on because its not new...

Used a word on the conference call-criticality, then decided it wasn't a word, that I had made up a word in front of my bosses boss.... but I looked it up and I was right, just to brain fogged to remember I was right... sheeeshh

so dyce, I think I am too pooped to barhop, how about I do that one like last weeks presentation: I will provide technical support over the phone.....

  Can - One thing about it, yer boss can't cry over spilled milk! Keep gettin up there brother, yer the candoman!

I had some pretty duesy boogers on tx, but not as big and sticky as what you gals are explainin'. But of course mine came from my nose, that probably accounts for the lack of copiousness and viscosity.

You just might be on to summin there. if them gals kept their fingers in their nose where they belong they might not notice them other things. So hows goof been feeling lately? Notice much difference on how you feel?

Oh rocker, you crack me up!!  I guess we need to take up a collection and buy you a wrist brace....
OK, welcome to my world
1995: job in idaho on the inel.  My job was to necropsy (autopsy animals) road kill antelope, elk and deer.  Rule of thumb, if you poke em with the knife and it whistles, pass on that one.  Took thyroids, kidney section, assayed heart for condition factor.We had a quota for the summer, looking for radioactive uptake as there were 13 online nuclear reactors there at one time.  So it came time to do the sheep.  We go to the local ranch, and I'm like, man, there not dead.  Me and two city boys. So the sheepherder shoots them in the head with a 22. NOw, rocker, you are not pickin up on the implication here, but dyce just gave me an Oh Sh!t".  So we load them into the back of the pickup, head out into the desert.  WE get there, and of course, 1) they aint dead, and 2) the reason they were selected was a very advanced case of mastitis.  Dyce, I heard that one...So the two city boys get one whiff, and head to the front of the truck to dry heave, and I get stuck killing and cutting up a wooly, pus-laden maggot infested sheep. Gets worse, I do all the work, we head in and decide we really need to wash the blood, guts, maggots out of the company truck.  We pull in, two city boys head inside to WASH THEIR DAM HANDS FOR SOME REASON, and I start cleaning.  Spray under the tool box, which promptly shoots pink maggot water straight up in the air, and all over my head.
Did I mention one reason I fell in love with hubby was the summer we had to gather 55 gallons of fresh cow hockey, and he didn't make me pick it up if it already had maggots, and he's the one that made the uniform pies out of it..
point is, if a little snot grosses you out, you really don't want to shake my hand.  But, it takes all kinds, so lucky you, I won't flick a booger your way, All though I did once whip a big ole string of goat afterbirth around the older boys neck.... he's a little sensitive too..
