Welcome to the TGIF Thyroid Pub

[stella5349]

Here's Friday again!!!

Where did the week go?  How many of us reached our goals this week? Monday I posted a question to everyone to come up with a goal for themselves and try it all week.

I bombed on my goals - but I did loose the 2 pounds I promised I would. Hugging my boys was a disasster. They are too big and thought I was being crazy. I did smile more as I wanted too - but I think that is because I feel so much better lately.

How well did you do?  

AR - I know you made "secret" goals -  LOL  

What everyone's plans tonight? Getting ready for the weekend? How everyone's family doing?  I know DAC won't post tonight - since she found her "sweet spot" and is getting healthy after a long time - She has plans!!!! Good for you DAC!

AND - how's everyone feeling about those darn gas prices lately?? GEEZ...... it is insane.

I knew this time of year would start to get crazy for me - I love posting here - but I need two bodies lately. And with that ever so enjoyable "brain fog"  that makes things even more crazy. :)

I hope some good news flows through here tonight - WE DESERVE IT !!  

[pep88]

No one here?  Darts out of the question?  You all passed out?  No one to even tend bar?Someone did say they hid the keys to the top shelf stuff, so I guess you all scattered...  or maybe it's cause "I" arrived...  Well I do have that effect on some people...  :P

[pep88]

Ok everyone, as AR proclaimed me...  The "bad girl" is here!  I'd like a double double please...  Who's tending from the recliner?

[KelDC]

Anyone seen CarMan lately? I hope he's still doing well.... the Pub's not the same without him and AR....

[KelDC]

I'm later than normal to the pub tonight - sorry, all.  I made a nice dinner for my husband and even opened a bottle of wine.  Let me tell you how happy I am that wine is LID-approved.   SOOOO happy.  Hmm, I should have known that after I closed this place down last week w/a jug of it and Pep.....  =)

Not tons to report from here...still on the wretched LID, and RAI is next week.  One week from today, actually. I start my Thyrogen injections on Wednesday.  I'm scared.  And annoyed that I have to drive an hour there and back for this treatment - with the price of gas, it's going to be insane!!!

I had a few off days this week (tired, cold), but overall I have been feeling pretty good. Hopefully this med dose is the right one!

I'd share my bottle of wine, but it's almost gone - so, the next round is on me.  Cheers, all!!  

[utahmomma]

Hey all - just stopping by.  Between my GI tests this week and a few posts on this forum that have drained me of any sense of humor I may have (KWIM Cheryl?!?)  I'm pretty worn out.

Welcome newbies!   My recliner is behind the bar - very convenient for grabbing a drink.  First come, first served but I want the recliner back for next week.  Don't spill on it, that's my job.  :-)

HUGS to Y'all!!

Hello, I'm here too.  Just sitting here getting depressed about how bad I've eaten over the past 2 days. I had been doing very well on my 'diet', but I've been stressed these past couple of days... with the synthroid throwing me off. UGH. I guess things could be allot worse.

[jojo2008]

Well considering that im new I thought that I would drop in and take a seat. I think I might be here alone though? .....lol
Anyway I just wanted to say HI:) I hope everyone is having a great night tonight.

[Venora Moonwind]

its been a tiring week. I just got back form the endo. I got bloodwork done and he is going to call Monday with the numbers I feel hypo,I dont sleep well and I hurt all over and my body is retaining so much water. I dont se how as I go to the bathroom all the time
hailas big as grapefruit pounded the you know what out of my 4 runner It looks awful I have never seen hail so big or seen it last so long. it hailed for a good 20 minutes. then the tornado sirens went off. gotta love Oklahoma in the spring.THEN all night long the weather alarm radio must have went off every half hour. I was so ready to throw the stupid thing out. It was just for t storms No tornadoes.
Hubby is sick and you know how men are when they get sick. Honey get me some medsHoney get me this whine whine whine. gaaaaa. gotta love him though.
I do get to back to working on the engines again. I have been on loan for this detail and it had got so boring that I begged my supervisor to call me back to the shop.
I love working on the engines so I am glad to be doing that again.
we had the 3 grandsons last weekend.( thats where hubby got his cold)
It was great to have them with us.
well thats all my news for the week.
Love Venora

I hope it's not too late for you to get this message but right now for me it's 2:07pm.  You people in Great Brittian have been drinking since before I showered this morning! :-O  I live in Seattle so I'm usually just getting started at the pub when everyone else is virtually (pun intended) drunk and going to bed...

[helsurf]

hee hee, my mum says gobsmacked all the time, how british! :)

[helsurf]

yep suns still shining here! just looked at the weather for the weekend predicts sunny and 15 degrees c, getting warmer, summer must be coming! just poured a glass of wine, cheers jeblondon! what a lovely evening here in the UK!

pep88 what time is it where u are? i know when i go to florida they are 5 hours behind us.

x x x

[pep88]

Sounds "Lovely"!  My brother dates a gal who's Brittish and I LOVE the way she talks!  Everything is "lovely"', and she calls me "Sweetpea", and when she's shocked, she's "Gobsmacked" - I personally love that one: "Gobsmacked"!...  Kind of describes the feeling I had when they said "Your thyroid was cancerous..."

[jeblondon]

7:30 pm here in the uk now - the sun is shining over here in Sussex too Helsurf isn't it great?!
Cheers! - have just poured myself  an ENORMOUS GIN AND TONIC!!!  **grins to all**
I have had a rollercoaster of a week but have ended well by going and sitting with a dear old lady I know, very calm, very wise.  Didn't talk much - didn't need to.  I am still here, I am here to stay, I have my place in the Universe.
Sending love out to you all and healing thoughts.
Will pop back in later tonight.

Know what I just realized?  You all are in different time zones than I.  You will probably all be starting the cocktails b4 my daughter even gets home from school!  I just may be able to party with you for a short while... :-P  Looking forward to it!

[MKlacza]

Well..I did smile more and try to lower my tone...

Having my nephew (7) over tomorrow for a sleepover and day out. Looking forward to that!!! Just taking this all in stride!!

[pep88]

Sorry, that was for the "goal outcome thread", not for the "pub" thread...  Pardon moi!  Pub thread gets a "par-tay on!" from me...

[pep88]

Can I write "goals" retro-actively?  Cause if I could, I'd make it a goal to just leave well enough alone (or "crazy-enough", alone, as the case may be...).  I sometimes feel an urgent need to address the elephant in the room...  "Hey Elephant, what the heck are you doing here?"  

That would be the "retro-active" goal.  Of course the outcome would be obvious failure... :P

[Rite760]

Did I achieve my goals? Well put it this way, I think I very definately achieved one of them. There is not much left of my 11 yr old daughter she has been squidged and hugged so much!

[anree]

Lol, I had to go back to my post to see what my goals were. I couldn't remember. But I THINK I reached most of them. 1. I did talk to my Dr. and got my Armour.... and hopefully fixed some of this craziness. 2. Thankfully I did quit screaming at my kids. I think I was a little calmer this week. 3. I did get up and do SOMETHINGS... but still not nearly energetic as I know I can be.... but I'm still working on that...

Doesn't help that it is SNOWING again.... ugh. It was so nice now the snows come back! YUCK. I was ready for summer!

[stella5349]

Oh Honey!!!!  I am so happy for you . too bad about the X though LOL

You are going to be the positive head chief tonight - I can just tell.

Be prepared......... there next week now!!! BUT enjoy your success!!!

[redheadaussie]

I did it! I was totally buggered (translation; tired and exhausted!) But I walked every night for half hour. In the cold too no less! (Turning winter here in the Land of the Kangaroo) I even drove to take my son to his friend's place..a whole 3 hour round trip! I convinced my ex-boyfriend to come up and see me....(no naughty nonsense happened, sigh!) I stood my ground on a few issues with a father of my son's friend. I felt empowered! Now it's Friday night here, I am looking back at the week and feeling darn proud of myself. Now time to open my red wine and kick off my boots and enjoy my empty house for the whole weekend! YAY!  Big hugs to all Thyroidians!
