Here ye Here ye.....one and all on the Canuck Thread.....This is hereby christened the "Chronicles of Cloe" Thread!!!

*smashes bottle of cyrstal light over Cloe's head (ummmm I mean thread) with one hand & cuts yellow ribbon with other*.

ahhhh.....tis now open for bidness!!!!

:whoo: :whoo: :whoo: :whoo: :welcome:

Cool, Cloe! You're so crafty

Yessssss, yes she is......very crafty indeeeeeedy!

Ahh shucks, you guys are making me blush, but thanks, I just like to keep my hands busy, thats all, I just do stuff while I'm watching TV at night. To bad it couldnt be something that burned more calories, though!!

Angel Bear, that particular craft show was a good one!

I keep thinking I'd like to sell some of my stuff on E-bay, but I'm not quite sure if it's worth it or even how to do it.

A CRAPPY UPDATE.....

I don't want sympathy, I just need to unload, and you guys are great for bearing the brunt of it, sorry.

I found out this morning that my kidney infection has returned, which would explain why I havnt felt great lately, so back on antibiotics AGAIN!! Then to make matters worse, I get on the scale this morning and I'm back up 2 POUNDS!!! That was worse then hearing about the stupid infection. I've been really good, too. I have been feeling rather tight the last couple weeks, so I'm not sure where those 2 pounds came from. So, Im feeling sorry for myself today, I'll feel better tommorow!!!:cry

ahhh geez cloe, bummer. i bet the 2lbs is fluid retention tho if your kidney infection is back. not that its much of a consolation...

(((((hugz))))) no worries Cloe....it is only because you are ill.....your body is smart and is is preseving itself....so holding on to fluid and fat cells etc....it'll be ok once your better again!

Bummer! Drink lots of water and cranberry juice. They say it helps.....

Yow... that sucks Cloe.

take care of yourself:girl_hug:

Cloe,

Hugs, I agree with Yoda and your body knows you're sick and is helping itself - just hang in there. U r doing great!

I did the E-bay thing for awhile with my gift baskets - seems everyone is doing them now - and the sales out of province (while a pain for mailing etc were great) but setting up an account etc was time consuming. I haven't kept it up and now just do special orders. Craft shows were slow this Christmas too. Lots of ppl but not lots of sales for any of the crafters.

Let us know how you're feeling! (again hugs and hydrate hydrate!!)

Sorry to hear about your infection Cloe,:sick drinking cranberry does help, i know it has helped me. Take good care of yourself Cloe.

Good morning all

Thanks for your encouragment, it's a new day, gonna get myself going here with the meds and cranberry juice, it dosent help that I havent gone to the bathroom in four days either. Geesh, when it rains, it pours eh? Anyway, gonna keep my chin up, I'll be good again in a couple days.

HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE!!!!!!

You haven't PEED in 4 days?! I'm assuming you must be talking about that cause of the kidney infection... but then again, maybe you'd be dead not peein' for 4 days... I dunno.

If you're talkin' about the other "bathroom... yeah... things are rough for me too. Breakin' out the MoM again tonight, and I'm gonna KEEP takin' that damn Benefiber. (I bought the chewable ones, cause I thought I'd take them for sure that way.. but they're grooooss!!!!)

at first i thought she meant pee too, but i think she's talking poo, cuz like u said, im pretty sure you'd be dead if u didnt pee for 4 days!

do those chewable benefibers swell up? do they go thru your stoma okay? would you recommend them (besides the taste?)

I don't think they expand, no. Actually.. if you think about it, they should be just like Benefiber powder, which doesn't 'bulk' either. If you can take the taste, yeah... for sure give 'em a try. I'm probably just a wimp. Dan's takin this 'Real Fiber' chewable things too, and he likes them. I think they taste way better than the Benefiber, but are much bigger, and a little dry (if that's possible). Doesn't matter though, cause they get chewed up, and I wash 'em down with water.

omigawd you guys!!!!! Of course she ain't talkin' about peein'!!!!! LMAO!!!!

I take benefibre almost every morning....I mix it into my witches brew (protein drink) for breakfast.....don't notice it at all.

i gotta try this stuff...does it soak up chocolate and pb?

btw yoda, so glad your ticker's not a lie anymore! YAY!!!
