The past couple days have been pretty bad for my portfolio but I’m still up on my initial investment. I stopped gambling after I doubled my money

Damn you'd think they'd at least get a different vehicle to drive thru. It sounds like the town cop waiting outside the local tavern to arrest the local drunk.
He called in sick.
I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that it's supposed to be in the mid 50s today

I'm shocked at this development!!! (pirate jimlad)Hope he recovers quickly
. Congrats on @SCyclone calling it.
Retired folks are NOT supposed to be up at 5 a.m.
Not unless you're half asleep and peeing.
@BoxsterCy, I decided to check the Poulan last night since we are scheduled to get 5-8 inches of snow tonight/tomorrow. First pull, off she went.....good ol' SeaFoam.
Also, since the dream theme has been going for a few days.....dreamed last night that I was peeing blood. This is critical for me, because I had a severe kidney inflammation as a child (nephritis), and have also survived a malignant tumor - and several more growths - in my bladder. Woke up very agitated, so I went in the bathroom a peed.....no blood. (whew)
That doesn't make sense to me...Z-packs are antibiotics (Azythromycin). Prednisone is a steroid (anti-inflammatory). Prednisone DOES have the capability to hop you up (like steroids are known to do). Right now I'm taking both - I wonder if she was, also?
I'm lucky that I don't react that way to steroids, because I've had to use them several times for poison ivy (I'm strongly allergic and it spreads rapidly on my body).

Prednisone is insane. I'm sure you're not using it for long, but wow, that stuff is strong.
I was being a good wife and letting him sleep. After I sucked down a couple of cough drops, I went back to bed. Woke up around 9.30.Retired folks are NOT supposed to be up at 5 a.m.
Yeah, I know. My ex had Crohn's Disease. We did everything we could to limit his use of it.
Five days this time - burst only. For the poison ivy it has been a burst & taper which usually lasts 15 days...I've had to do that three times over the past 14 years (since moving out here to the woods), so it hasn't really been excessive use for me.
I have had the same poison ivy issue since the turn of the century. It never affected me like that before that. I also have had to have Prednisone the last few times I have ended up with strep throat. It is amazing how I can go from agony to no big deal in about an hour after taking it for strep.
I like using prednisone to get feeling better, but I don't like it when the wife uses it because it's like PMS x 10. I'd just love to move out of the house when she is on it.
I had to take Prednisone the first few days I had the shingles. It didn't bother me then but when I had to take it about 10 years earlier it was awful for about the first 30-60 minutes. I would break out in a sweat and had like really bad heartburn or something for that first hour.

Only time I've ever taken Prednisone was my allergy trip to the ER back in July. That and Benadryl and something else. I think the something else was for blood pressure, since I was in the 190something/110s to start off.
I think I may have been at that game and I may have been sitting behind the backboard. The one KU game that really comes to mind is one where we lost. It was a battle until late when Kevin Pritchard got fouled late and that was pretty much the game. He was standing at the line and the crowd had gone silent. One person, at the top of their lungs yelled, "Shave your eyebrows!" We may have lost but at least Kevin Pritchard's eyebrows were made fun of on national TV.
Also, a friend recently was at a Wolves game and commented on how great the lobby looks.
I know that our kids have had Prednisone a couple of times. Holy cow does that ever make them hungry.
