Dear BK:   I'm thinking Diet Coke is not a solution to your reflux angst.  I'm thinking it's something that contributes to it.

I think Bruce has reduced his consumption of diet coke; D

For acid reflux issues, that's one and half Diet Cokes too many.

I ordered from an Amazon vender yesterday a DVD that I would swear was priced at $9.95.  I was invoiced for $119.00!

I have spent the last 45 minutes on line and on phone about this issue.  30 minutes was spent trying to find the means to contact Customer Service.  It used to be much easier.

I absolutely agree and don't know how he can drink any at all.  I also learned the hard way to SLOWLY give up caffeine drinks.  I went through withdrawal giving up Pepsi and had to do it slowly.

I did it early on in my life when I was stationed in Italy.   I bought and consumed mineral water (the sparkling bubbly variety).  After that, my tastes changed from cokes/sprites/seven-ups to acqua minerale. 

I still occasionally enjoy a ginger ale, though.

Vibes for the sister of DR GINNY.  OUCH!

Thank you, DR JRand!

[Ginny]

Health vibes for Ginny's sister.  Hoping for a quick recovery!

Thanks, DR FJL!

[Ginny]

Feel better vibes to DR Ginny's sister.!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thank you, DR Jennifer!

[Ginny]

OMG, what an awful thing, falling like that.  Even a minor trip or stumble is unsettling and a bit scary when you do it as an adult.  I can't even imagine the shock and the scare and the pain that must have been.  VIBES for a very speedy recovery for the DS of DR Ginny!

Thank you, DR ChasSmith! 

[Ginny]

DR Ginny, are the flying or driving?

Sister & husband driving from Michigan, niece from Illinois.  Each drive is only 4-5 hours.

I have been dealing with the bureaucracy of getting reimbursed for my Medicare premiums from my retirement plan, which is further complicated by a middleman (agency).  With no confidence that I've done it correctly, and no way to talk to an actual person anywhere, I've just put something in the mail.  Pray for Rosemary's baby...

[TCB]

Ginny, vibes for your sister.  What a horrible fall.

Ginny, vibes for your sister.  What a horrible fall.

Thank you, DR TCB.  She emailed me a photo this morning, but I'll spare you the graphic.

The first year after the paralysis was one fall after another for me.  I credit my experience with stage falls for keeping me from breaking any bones.  That and a lot of those patented HHW vibes.

[elmore3003]

I am home from market.  The 104 buses are screwed up today.  I waited at 86th Street for over 5 minutes on a bus that should arrive every 8 minutes.  One of the waiting ladies with the phone app to check bus arrivals said the next bus was 12 minutes away.  WTF? So I got a taxi.  Its effen hot outside today and I hate weather over 70 degrees F.

Banking accomplished, Metrocard refilled, groceries to unpack and vegetables and fruit to wash.

[Jrand74]

Maybe you bought ten of them DR ELMORE.

[Jrand74]

We received the check to pay for our roof from the insurance company, but it was made out to my father AND mother....so we have to get a new one.

Because the Indianapolis 500 - formerly the BIGGEST SPECTACLE in racing - is sold out, it will be broadcast live on the local channel for the first time since 1949.

Crisis to crisis.  Today's fresh hell: a rather unintelligible phone call from my neighbor Judy. It seems that the jerk neighbor Steve on our floor has been telling tenants that Bobba, our super, has been replaced by the building management.  This is bad news, since I think he and his family are great, even if he took his time repairing my ceiling two years ago.  So, I've been emailing and phoning our agent to protest.

Good morning.

That was probably around the time I became addicted to Pepsi.  When I got IBS any soda made my stomach hurt like heck.  After getting GERD even champagne gave me reflux, and I didn't have any problem with it bothering my IBS, probably for the same reason wine helps it.

What's your local channel?  When I lived in Lawrence, I "thought" I remember the race being telecast...but who remembers!!!

I forgot to ask if she has a concussion.  When Bryan was mugged, and smashed straight down on his face, he sent photos.  I wouldn't have known my own kid.

I hope your protests make a difference, or that it is just a rumor.

Beth Howland has died.

Beth Howland has died.

Yes, BK mentioned it earlier or last night.
