Does anyone have snow yet?

Not here in Tumwater.

But do they eat Tums in Tumwater?

Good question, DR Freddie.

singdaw · « **Reply #93 on:** January 04, 2025, 03:08:45 PM »

Do they drink water in Tumwater, for that matter?

singdaw · « **Reply #94 on:** January 04, 2025, 03:09:13 PM »

These are the burning questions of the day, which DR George must answer!

Got my 2024 W2 already.

So I'm ready to file my taxes!

Not really.

Thanks for the kind thoughts Jane and Freddie. I could always eat, but o just had to be careful as I felt something bad coming in that gets much worse if I don’t adjust my eating habits. And I do have the bad habit of reclining after meals. Can’t do that.

There was a time I would look at food and decide if I wanted to deal with the pain of GERD or IBS. Thankfully the medication I am on for GERD helps my IBS and I don't need to be as careful with food as often.

I have a friend who swore drinking lots of water cured her GERD, yet for me it seemed to make it worse. Natural black licorice helps but it also makes IBS worse. I had to give up milk chocolate and now appreciate dark chocolate more. Nestle chocolate really bothers me and now I use Ghirardelli 60% Cacao Dark Chocolate chips. Absolutely no carbinated drinks.

What foods do you find that make it worse?

When it comes on, no particular food makes it worse. Maybe tomatoes. JohnG brought up a hiatal hernia, and a lot of the symptoms tracked. I really think it happens because I eat too quickly sometimes.

I couldn't eat tomatoes or tomato sauces for a long time. Onions too.

On hold with UPS - no one can find this package that was supposedly delivered yesterday but wasn't. They keep telling me someone will call me and no one ever does.

bk · « **Reply #102 on:** January 04, 2025, 04:20:03 PM »

Outrageous. And a twelve-minute hold.

bk · « **Reply #103 on:** January 04, 2025, 04:20:49 PM »

Futzing and finessing took a long time. I've only written three or four new pages, but I should be able to do more in an hour or so.

Had a grilled cheese and bacon sandwich for food.

What is this page four malarkey?

bk · « **Reply #106 on:** January 04, 2025, 04:22:02 PM »

Not very sporting.

Been dozing off.

bk · « **Reply #108 on:** January 04, 2025, 04:22:47 PM »

I hate being on hold.

bk · « **Reply #109 on:** January 04, 2025, 04:23:09 PM »

I hate the music one is forced to listen to on endless repeat.

Hopefully, they'll answer soon.

Vibes the missing package is found.

I must say, my UPS Store has not been helpful or caring about this. They just keep saying to file a claim. First of all, I can't file anything, the shipper has to do that. They just want to get off the phone with me. I've been a customer at this UPS Store even before they moved to this location, and let me tell you how long that is - about twenty-five YEARS.

Just ridic.

I hate that the music is soooo loud when I am on hold.

Have no idea if anyone at the hub has bothered to look for it because - they don't call back as promised.

bk · « **Reply #117 on:** January 04, 2025, 04:27:32 PM »

No one wants to do their job.

bk · « **Reply #118 on:** January 04, 2025, 04:27:42 PM »

Or take responsibility.

bk · « **Reply #119 on:** January 04, 2025, 04:28:09 PM »

They just don't care. And it's why they're all losing money.
