Alright.. so I am feeling pretty bad from starting Rifampin and told myself that I would stay positive and get through this..
Which leads me to this fun topic hopefully others will participate in.
Lyme Family Fun:
- Letting your little ones drop Alka Seltzer's in your glass of water.
PS. James please no coffee enema tricks here Posted by James1979 (Member # 31926) on :
Oh, this is a fun thread! Good idea, Fuel!
Here's my suggestions: -Play "Hangman" using the names of famous LLMDs: B _ R _ _ _ _ A _ O
-Tape "fake" PICC lines to all of your family members' chests, so that you don't feel so alone when in public. Then whenever your family passes by a stranger, ask them why they're not wearing PICC lines.
-Instead of "Bobbing for Apples", you could play "Bobbing for Supplements". (Put your bottles in waterproof bags before attempting this one).
-Create a modified version of the board game "Risk", where instead of "soldiers" you have "T-cells", and instead of "countries" you have "co-infections" to conquer.
-See who can last the longest in the FIR sauna without passing out. (Not recommended for children under 2).
-See who can smell James' socks the longest without passing out. (Not recommended for children under 18).
-See who can smoke the most "medicinal" weed.
P.S. No, Fuel, no coffee enema games. There was one game involving a hamster, but I don't know if it's appropriate... ).

Close your eyes and you have one of the most cutting edge energy testing methods around
What about Vit B12 shots and Texas Hold'em. Instead of a drinking game you could do a "shot" of B12 needle style
Treating for parasites with the whole family.. you could "Guess the length of your next critter" Closest one wins free supplements that month

How's this one:
-Get real stoned, then watch "Under Our Skin" while playing Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" backwards. It matches up perfectly, I swear!
P.S. If anybody doesn't get that one, don't worry about it. It has to do with "The Wizard of Oz".

Hey James.. No one thinks we are funny, and it feels like we are on our own with this one.
I had a crappy day in more ways than one, so I need to laugh!
Posted by Dogsandcats (Member # 28544) on :
OOOHHHH I had a very terrible horrible bad day (quote from a children's book)
i don't want to smell your socks, James. I have a son who could make your socks get up and run for the trash.
i dont' drink, but I would play a version of beer pong.....get the supplement in the cup for a piece of chocolate....hmmmmm yes, chocolate....
i thought it was the beatles backwards not Pink Floyd.....i don't think you were rocking to the classics "then" James. Jus sayin...
Posted by James1979 (Member # 31926) on :
Yeah, man, the forum has been pretty lame recently. I actually have been holding back my usual silliness because I get the feeling that people are wanting to be more serious now. I think we should have a "fun" thread every day. But I'm guessing there wouldn't be enough participants, as we can see here.
Laughter is the best medicine! The second-best is definitely coffee enemas.
Today I read the FUNNIEST joke on the forum! It was written by "nonna05". Here is what she wrote: "Just read it but brain fog is at San Fran levels today." I got a good laugh out of that one.
I'm sorry you're having a rough time. Hopefully things will get better soon. Have you been able to go outside at all? The weather has been SO PERFECT!!!! I don't want this weather to end ever.
Fuel, do you ever get skunks on your property? I have trouble with this crazy skunk every night when I go outside for a walk. I have to always carry a huge flashlight so that he doesn't catch me by surprise. That crazy animal walks right up to me without fear, and if I accidentally get too close to him he'll spray me!!! So now I walk outside with a floodlight in one hand and a paintball gun in the other. I feel like Rambo, but the equipment is super heavy, and it's killing my arms! What a way to have a nice peaceful walk at night! But it's fun at the same time. If I ever get that mofo, I'm gonna paint his back like the Sistine Chapel.
Posted by James1979 (Member # 31926) on :
Dogsandcats - thanks for replying! We need more action on these fun threads, I tell ya.
Your "beer pong" gave me another idea: The family could play poker, and whoever loses has to take more supplements! (i.e. as opposed to drinking beer after each loss). I forgot what those kinds of games were called. Hmmm... somehow I don't remember any of college at all.
Alternatively, you could just smoke some paca lolo and see it for yourself. That stuff lines up perfectly! I ain't playin. Posted by Dogsandcats (Member # 28544) on :
Dark side of the moon Or The dark side of the rainbow?
Posted by Fuel1212 (Member # 29312) on :
James - No skunks here, thank goodness!
I do have squirrels that seem to throw walnuts though
Night

Both. "Dark Side of the Rainbow" is when you watch "Wizard of Oz" while listening to "Dark Side of Moon" while smoking hashish.
Whew! This is getting awfully complicated! Those pot-heads were smarter than we were giving them credit for! Posted by searching4truth (Member # 28481) on :
What about "driving through town and letting your 3 year old direct you back home" (because you can't remember where you are, where you were going, or how to get back home) thanks goodness for GPS!
Or... "who can finish Mommy's sentences?" (Because Mommy certainly can't) We play that one daily too.

Well, I think you're funny! Thanks to everyone on this thread for the laughs.
My lyme brain won't let me come up with anything clever, but I appreciate the efforts of you all!

Fuel, man, before you said this, I hadn't realized how fun it was to make alka seltzer drinks. But now that you've mentioned it, I'm finding myself looking forward to it every time. Thanks, buddy! Posted by Dogsandcats (Member # 28544) on :
James Alas, my Lyme brain has to concede.
The last time I saw someone stoned it was my dog. She had surgery and tore the stitches out. Off to doggie emergency, by myself. They gave her a shot so she would sleep and let her bandage stay put for awhile.
The shot did not take hold------- until we we half way thru the dark parking lot. forty pounds hit the ground and became 100.
no one to help, couldn't leave her there in the middle of the road to go get someone. it really was funny trying to get her up to walk.
she had the facial expression of someone who had been on a bender for a week. tongue hanging out... finally with some coaching we made it to the car. sorry, we didn't have dark side of the rainbow playing for her while I hauled the dog to the car.

This is to hysterical of a thread. You still have enough brain cells to think of such ideas. Next your going to want to go trick or treating for supplements.
I have been in your shoes getting lost. To funny I would never ask my 3 yrs old but her guess is probably better than mine. LOL
Finishing my sentences is not allowed around my house. I want to screw up my own sentences thank you! And you will wait until I get my entire sentence out before you answer me or else I am going to finish it anyhow since it took forever to dig in my brain for it!

supplement bingo!!
Posted by JAC (Member # 34240) on :
How about "name that parasite" I tell you the pain spot you name the parasite that attacked it.

Nice JAC! Gross, but nice Posted by James1979 (Member # 31926) on :
Pin the tail on the Steer(e):
P.S. No offense, Dr. Steere. You're my brother and I love you. Posted by JAC (Member # 34240) on :
Ok James now be nice!

What... do you want me to wash his car, too? Posted by JAC (Member # 34240) on :
Wipe his hooves
Milk the cow
Check for mad cow disease
Churn the butter
and....Let me see
My daughter use to have a song that went like this:
Birdie, birdie in the sky Why you poopie in my eye? Aren't you glad that cows can't fly? Oh what a mess that would be Posted by randibear (Member # 11290) on :
and here i thought i was the strange one...
Posted by JAC (Member # 34240) on :
No Randibear strangeness comes in many shades.
There you go "Name that shade of green"
I give you the clue and you guess the shade!
What shade of green is a fruit and makes you fruity some days?
LYME --
What shade of green makes you envious?
JADE---
What shade of green might you find a tick in?
FOREST---
Ok thats enough wacky comments on the humorous side of Lyme today!
Posted by mom2kids (Member # 31972) on :
This is really fun and funny. I have been feeling way out of it, otherwise I would be contributing to this thread. Hopefully this fog will lift soon...

Sounds like a challenge James.
I'll bring the vaporizer...
But... stillwater... Medicinal marijuana isn't legal in PA!
HA! Posted by sammy (Member # 13952) on :
Thank you all, I needed the laugh today Posted by sbh93 (Member # 30429) on :
Ditto sammy... was laughing so hard, then started crying because I realized it was the first time I'd laughed in at least two months! Thank you, thank you.
So... how about connect the dots? (lesions, weird rashy marks, purpura, etc.) Whoever has the coolest pattern on their body wins an epsom salt bath with no distractions!
Or... find the milk! Everyone knows that whenever mommy brings home milk it is left somewhere totally inappropriate! Find it before it spoils and win some allergen-free chocolate chip cookies to go with it!
Or... hairstylist! Whoever can brush and style their hair nicely with the least fallout wins a...crap I don't know. Iron supplements? Who the h*** wants those though.
Anyway... oooh. Watch scarface. Instead of doing a shot for every F word (which, if you ever tried to play that pre-lyme, I bow down to you if you were still conscious by the end) you could do a shot of greens! Oooooh, now that will take care of your iron supplement problem! Yay!
Posted by Fuel1212 (Member # 29312) on :
I am so glad everyone is getting laughs from this!
I had been on Rifampin for a few days and was feeling just terrible.. then it hit me...
Instead of dwelling on how I feel lets try to get back to my old self and be a sarcastic clown.
I knew my good bud James would shine with this also.
Even if one person got a laugh it was worth it.
Thanks to all those who helped and enjoyed.
With that I will leave you with another little one: With all this muscle testing and energy testing you go to your PILE of supplements and grab the first bottle.
Index finger to thumb not too tight, not too loose. Swipe from inside out the circle and you come to the conclusion either none of these supps are good for you, or you just aren't ready for this stuff Posted by twicebitten (Member # 5412) on :
funny stuff. I wish I had contributions for it.
I do so relate to the "finish mommy's sentence" remark. Everyone knows in this house that mommy can't finish any sentence EVER! this leaves people trying to guess my next word..it gets ridiculous at times.

I should report you for that post... I wonder what happens when you report a moderator? Posted by Dogsandcats (Member # 28544) on :
GASP!

It's called: "Brown is so bought." You can send me donations through my main PayPal account. thank you.
Do you guys think it's bad that I draw pictures while I'm at work? Sometimes it bothers my conscience. If I wasn't the boss, I think I would fire myself. Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Oh my, stilllwater!!
James... YOU WORK?? Man, I'd like a job like yours!! Posted by pointermom (Member # 43153) on :
