I don’t know what this photographer is taking a picture of, but little does he know he’s missing out on a photo op right behind him!
I wonder if the penguin went up to him and goosed his behind?

I guess my new meds were working after all
I wasn’t sure, but I guess my Crohn’s medication that I started about a month ago, Pentasa, after that whole Sulfasalazine fiasco, must have been working.
How do I know …. Well, yesterday i got a phone call from one of my doctors offices telling me that my Thyroid biopsy at the hospital is scheduled for next Thursday and I had to go off the Pentasa right away since it contains ASA.
I’ve been off the Pentasa for more than 30 hours and my stomach/ abdomen is getting more painful as each hour goes by. So unless I’m starting to fight another bug or my Crohn’s is getting worse that must mean the medicine was working and my body is feeling it now that I’m not taking it.
I hope the pain doesn’t get much worse as I have to wait probably until next Friday before I can start taking it again. It’s going to be a LONG week.
Maybe I’ll spend sometime this week just sitting in my garden and looking at all the flowers that are beginning to bloom. That is if I can just sit and enjoy … it seems that every time I go in my backyard I never just sit, I have to pull weeds or prune a dead branch off a rose … I just can’t help myself.
Hmm maybe I’ll try to start now …. I’ll go outside and enjoy the daffodils while they’re still here …
Enjoy the weekend and try to get outside!
Anyone having problems with Hostgator lately?
I’m having hosting problems again. If you’re a regular visitor to this site you’ve probably noticed that at times my blog (and all the other blogs I write) load really slow and sometimes you’ll see error messages scattered throughout the page as well.
I’ve also had problems with my Wp-posts databases crashing and needing repair too. Plus I often can’t edit old posts and get error messages when I try. Nor can I always post when I want to because of server slowness or errors. I’m just about at my wits end.
This started happening near the end of March. I think the reason my sites are having trouble is because HostGator upgraded their MySql to PHP 5.1 and it’s causing all the errors and slow load times.
Anyone else on HostGator experiencing problems in the last month or so? I’m sure there’s a few, as I’ve noticed some of the blogs I visit regularly loading really really slowly lately when they didn’t have problems in the past.
If they don’t fix the problem soon ie go back to a trouble free version of PHP I may be forced to look for a new host. I hate that idea! I’ve loved Hostgator since I started with them in 2007 after a terrible experience with Lunarpages.
Any suggestions? I have over 20 websites and blogs now with more on the way so I need a very good shared hosting package from a company that doesn’t overcrowded/oversell their servers or else move up to VPS hosting.
Speaking of Lunarpages … I finally transferred some of my old domains from their service in April. I didn’t have a hosting account with them any longer, but when I left I let them continue to handle my domains registration … bad move as this meant I had to deal with support several times each year begging them to renew my domains. Believe me, their support people need support and sales training in a big way! Anyway … my domains are now with GoDaddy … but get this … Lunarpages sent me a renewal notice today for one of my domains that they no longer control! So I’m still stuck dealing with their support trying to tell them that I really don’t have anything to do with them anymore! Arghhhh! Frustrating! They’d better not try to bill me!
So again, if you have any good hosting suggestions I’d love to hear about it, plus if you have any hosting horror stories feel free to pass that on too. LOL
The only benefit of being sick
Sorry I haven’t been writing much lately. As usual my Crohn’s has really been acting up. I got some kind of bug last week … kind of flu like, but not the dreaded Swine Flu (I’m fairly certain) and since my immune systems on hyper response due to the Crohn’s I tend to be sick longer from colds, flu’s and other bugs when I get them.
The only good thing about being so sick last week and well, for most of the year is that the few extra pounds that I’ve gained from not being active enough due to illness have literally fallen off! No need for Fenphedra pills or anything like it! I’ll be in fine bathing suit and shorts form by June if I can feel a little bit better and get a little exercise to tone up!
I just hope that I do feel better soon and stop losing weight. Back in 2001 I dropped 40 lb that I didn’t need to lose in a month! I was way too thin and that’s not good either. Damn Crohn’s.
Do you ever lose weight rapidly when you get sick?
Driving me nuts with questions!
My husbands cousin’s wife .. I guess I could call her my cousin-in-law, is driving me nuts! Since I’m a nurse she calls me up or sends me an email every time she’s sick or has some kind of health related question. As you might imagine, with Swine Flu in the news last week she called me at least three times a day!
Do you have any friends or relatives like that? People that ask your advice about something your knowledgeable about because of your work? Doesn’t it drive you nuts?
She’s calmer now about the flu … but now she wants to lose weight so she’s sending me questions about how to lose weight fast and sending me links to places like the atro phex review site for me to read and advice her!
** Big eye roll **
I think that I’m just not going to answer the phone or her email for a week or so and maybe she’ll get the hint.
