~* COMING SOON ~*~ Revival of our Chicken Club ...
Details coming early 2008 .. LOL (for those new to the board, it is a joke and laughter can go a long way in rough times) .. it isn't really a club .. it is just some fun mixed in with sometimes very serious posts to get us through a rough day, hour, year.
It started about 8 mos ago on the board when a member mentioned something about being at a campfire and making bizarre alien-like tinfoil hats and wearing them as a joke, so the thyroid board picked this up as a mascot kind of thing and ran with it ....
If you see any references to chicken club or tinfoil hats, it is all in jest and goes back to that one post many months ago that has stuck with the board for many months to follow.
Some even have tinfoil hats as their profile image (Nyxie63) for example ...
We'll have a revival soon .. but jump on in with any details and even the link to the infamous Photobucket link so anybody can add ANY thyroid or chicken/tinfoil related pics they want to the open album!
And my profile is Mrs. PotatoeHead as I kept falling apart one body part at a time .. it may be time for a change, though, as all is healed but the ankle .. hmmmmm ??? Any ideas out there?

The only requirement to joining our chicken club was that you had to have experienced brain fog. If you've had thyroid problems for long you know what we're talkin' about. It's like the other day when I went to the store to buy some bread. . . . hey, was that a chicken? If you understand that WELCOME TO THE CHICKEN CLUB!!! Make a tinfoil hat, whip up a dish a somethin', and join right in.
Cheryl, what do I do for fun. . .read voraciously, sing in a choral group, hang out with hens. . hehe. . .will do just about anything to get a laugh out of some body. And of course anything that makes me laugh is wonderful. See why I love you nuts so much. =+)
choirgirl--I have a 7-yo boy and he has no older or younger siblings to pester him, so I have taken it upon myself to torture him. I've got him to take a big bite of an acorn, I try to get him to do grose things. It's fun!! He thinks I'm absolutely crazy, and he loves every minute of it! Give 'em all heck and let them think you're loopy. Life's more fun that way.

I think anyone around teenagers gets a warped sense of humor. I find myself to be teasing them mercilessly in my classes! I have 2 teenagers at home too, plus a 7 year old that I try to rescue from being tormented by her older brothers.
I told my students that something was a "pain in the neck" and then laughed at myself in class. No wonder they think I'm loopy! I also told them that I had a date with Jack the Ripper over the Christmas Break!

That *is* the chicken story. We all run around like we've had our heads cut off - oh, wait, we HAVE! :-) You should seriously buy a black velvet choker and tell your students the story - then take it off! Ohhh, I'm evil (that's what I get for having two teenagers). ;->
Today I told my classes that over the next couple of weeks I could be extra tired or extra hyper. Later, one of my students said I was "loopy" and "silly" today. Not bad for someone with about 3 hours sleep from Cytomel and teaching 300 kids today. I deserve to be loopy! One of my kids said I could buy a choker necklace to wear, but I remembered a story about a girl with a black velvet ribbon around her neck and when they took it off her head came off. Now I KNOW why they think I'm loopy! :) Can't think of any chicken stories yet, except running from them when my dad cut their heads off!
Hey - we don't have thyroids (or our sanity for the most part) so humor is all we have left! Welcome to the club Joni!! You're bringing potato salad. :-)
Howdy

All - hey, I'm a Diet Coke girl myself (when I drink soda) so I'm guessing that's why I wasn't protected with the super-cancer-fighting-powers of Mountain Dew. Oh, and I didn't mention that the cheap hair dye has to be in Gothic black-red! That's probably the secret I missed out on. :-(
For everyone who has made fun of "Lake Stink" down here - yes, it smells like dead fish and we are proud of that. (sniffle) Just kidding - I hate the thing.
Choirgirl - since you live out near Lake Stink you are automatically in! Your tinfoil hat is on its way. :-)
love you all

So how do I get in, it sounds fun! And Utahmomma, I know what you mean about the Salt Lake. We call it "Lake Stink" up north!
Hey, now I know why I don't have any kind of cancer!!! ROFLMBO Whoda thunk it?! Hahahahaha!
Wait, Mt. Dew and Synthroid .......... *tisk* *tisk* talk about self-induced anxiety ROTFLOL! I can only do one cup of coffee in the AM and that is pretty much it for the day ......... but, Mt. Dew and cheap hair dye sound good anyway LOL!

You know . . . my only sister without thyroid cancer (precancerous - silly wannabes) and my daughter said that they attributed their cancer fighting powers to the anticancer agents from cheap hair dye and Mountain Dew.
Maybe we should add these to the Chicken Club. Besides the tin foil will help the cheap hair dye sink in while we chug Mountain Dew and fall into some sugar and caffeine stupor!
What a fun bunch we are!!

An online album to post pics if you'd like! Long story but it is a joke on the board about roasting some kind of chicken over a fire and wearing tinfoil hats while camping (I think I got the story right .. if not, do correct me below ok ??) .. so, thus the Chicken Photos on the link .. some humor goes a VERY LONG way when dealing with long term, chronic issues ................

Wait, Venora gets in on the triple smile for her extraordinary thyroid surgery into the sternum it was, right?

Well Cheryl, you can't have Pez head 'cause my family copyrighted that in '04. :-)
Since you are the social director of the Chicken Club and sometimes the mom-figure of the board, how about we make you MommaClucker? (just kidding - too many pain pills, not enough pain relief)
Oh - and I bet I've had more parts fall off or get yanked out than you! Nah, nah, nah, nah! :-b
