Same here. I have some big projects coming up soon, but right now is more meetings and drawing blueprints. Oh well, it's raining so damn hard a have no desire to go outside anyways! Plus when I'm home I get to keep Claire home and play!!
I hope so too. How long did you notice a difference after you started taking them?

Have fun playing with Claire today. Sometimes rain days are nice.

i didnt have a cd player with the 350... just an old tape deck.. and speakers that crackled cuz they were so old...

my s10 has an aftermarket in dash cd player.. and stang came with Mach MP3 unit in it.. i enjoy the stangs more... cd players in my current truck dont seem to last long for some reason... either the buttons stop working or just decides it doesnt want to read them anymore... one in there now keeps giving me issues with CD-R discs... and sometimes itll give me issues with "bought" ones too...

Maybe about a week before I noticed anything. I hope it helps you.
Rain days are nice, every NOW and THEN. Not everyday for the next few months. I really do get tired of the rain here. If I didnt work outdoors I probably wouldnt care as much. I'm not big on too many indoor activities, so I like my sunshine.

Yeah Kelly is really cool, she's sooo good with Claire. Claire just hangs on her all the time and she never cares.

I have not felt right for months, but docs don't find anything wrong with me. Maybe I've just gone crazy.

Labs are super good dogs.

Okay, well here's an interesting story for you....
A few months ago (when I wasnt on here) I started feeling really bad, run down, whatever. Then I started getting really bad stomach pains that wouldnt go away. I felt "wrong" if that makes any sense, but I couldnt explain it. I felt bad, thats it. I went to the doc, he said everything was fine. BS. Im in good shape, when I feel bad, something is up. After a couple weeks, I went back in, and demanded he look further. I ended up having a CT scan on most of my body, had to drink barium (yuck!) and have the die injected. guess what? not a damn thing. Turns out I had a very small spider bite on the back of my neck, just under my hair line. They dont know what kind of spider, or how poisonous, but figure it's something I picked up from under a house working or something.... weird huh?

Kelly is half lab and half border collie. Dumb as a lab when playing and when I tell her to do something the border collie comes out. She is so smart. I can tell her to go upstairs and get my shoes, and she will bring MY shoes down, not just a pair of shoes, but MINE. She just showed a tendency to be easily trained from the day we got her, so I started with little things every day.

Hmm..that is super interesting. Makes me wonder...

I haven't had any energy lately, no motivation to do stuff, even if I am interested in it...and even though mentally I feel like I might go crazy from boredom. I feel like I could sleep all day if I wanted to..but sometimes I have trouble sleeping. My stomach gets upset at the drop of a hat, too. I've been eating nothing but lean meats, vegetables and fruit too. Hate to think what it would be like if I were eating crap. Even today my stomach feels upset and I've only had a banana and some yogurt.
