murtle Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I've been to the doctors and he's done blood tests that came back normal and has given me some "tips" to try and resolve the problem but I seem to like sleeping more than being awake I'm very envious of my snoozing dogs right now Kitty, could it be the food you are eating? I struggle with certain foods as they put me to sleep. Some people eat when stressed, some people smoke, I sleep as I can avoid the world (or are you just living up to your name ) What ever the reason, I hope you can find an answer to resolve it Mxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abby Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Morning Poor you Missus Murtle, does indeed sound like flu - are you feeling any better yet? And lots of 'get it sorted please dentist' thoughts going to Sam I am supposed to be tidying the front room so that when our lovely neighbour comes over later to help us plan our first phase flat renovations he is not absolutely horrified with the state of the place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil_angel Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Thanks for all the good thoughts for yesterday. It was a small but emotional service. During the hymns a lady was singing very loudly and I assumed it to be one of my aged relatives. Alex told me later that it was the lady on the organ and she must really enjoy her job.

merledogs Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I rang the garage to ask for a quote for a replacement serpentine belt - they'd never heard of it (the site google pointed me to was American). They said it was the alternator belt and to replace it would only cost about £50. Hopefully it is just that and nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griff Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Thanks Griff I will take it to the garage but it will have to wait until pay day on 27th, so am hoping it lasts me until then google your make and model of car and serpentine belt and either how to change or adjust it.... you will probably find loads of info and possibily a youtube vid... if you were feeling adventurous kittycat has the doctor done a water test? several years ago i was really sleepy and as soon as i was out of bed i was asleep again, i had a Strep A water infection Whizzie looking forward to piccies Sam i hope you get sorted quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Later today I collect Reuben , our new deaf rescue puppy. I am nervous & excited, happy & sad all jumbled together. looking forward to seeing more of Reuben I hope you get it sorted If all else fails, you could get one of the Dogstar vets to treat you lordy I hope not , dental is not an area that they really offer and we don't have any equipment I can get pain killers and antibiotics from our pharmaceutical supplier in Sri Lanka if needed I had an abscess on my leg drained by one of the elephant vets before , all went well till he punched my calf muscle with the same force he uses on elephants and I nearly passed out.....

Mrs B Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Exciting news about Reuben, Whizzie. You'll be fine, and so will he. Sam, I meant to ask re floods in Sri Lanka (I think?) For various reasons my ability to keep up with world news in the last couple of weeks has been dire, but I'm sure I heard about it - once - as oppose to Australia, every day! Which I suspect means that if it is happening just means that the decision makers feel it has less pulling power than Australia. Just don't want you getting wet out there - oh, and most importantly, no hurty toothies/mouth. Does oil of cloves help poorly mouths as well as toothache?

Just don't want you getting wet out their — oh, and most importantly, no hurty toothies/mouth. Does oil of cloves help poorly mouths as well as toothache? there is less coverage overall of the Sri Lankan floods than the Australia ones so its easy to miss out , the rains this Monsoon session are far heavier and prolonged ( normally January is very dry ) estimates are that over a million people have been dispatched and 1/5th of the countries rice paddy is now flooded ( rice is the staple food source in Sri Lanka ) the army is becoming involved in the distribution of food We have been using this map to keep an eye on events, the areas most affected are the eastern district which was heavily damaged by the tsunami and also the war http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=209106781059924152516.000499a844a170c763b27&source=embed&ll=7.661997,80.326538&spn=2.727234,4.921875&z=8&iwloc=000499aa4bb769f510b56 areas affected are getting closer to us ( about 1 hour drive ) and our area was flooded on a small scale in Nov/Dec totally overwhelming our drainage at the House/Clinic and we are hoping the local river does not burst its banks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merledogs Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) I love water, it's beautiful and life sustaining and is one of my most favourite things on the planet. I love looking at it, listening to it, drinking it and swimming in it (that sounds rather odd I know) but I have a healthy respect for it and the the damage and devastation it can cause Edited January 14, 2011 by merledogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murtle Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Purple_mog - four nutty collies...hope you are having a fun time with them Sam I can only imagine that you would rather have passed out with that pain from the abcess resolution! Good luck with car fixing merley one. I have just woken up again. Wonder how long for this time. I will batter the next person that comes into work with germs. It's generally one of two people, and this time I am really I worked last weekend to get on par with my work, which now feels for nothing as two days in bed and meetings cancelled means next week will be a nightmare. woe woe and thrice woe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
