Just sitting here wondering if there are any people out here who perhaps met at a lyme rally or on this board that ended up getting married??

Funny, how we think about these things isn't it? But only another lymie can truly appreciate what we are going through....

Hah, I'd better stay away from all these romance novels.......

But I'll never sell my Christine Feehan and, yes, i do watch Blood Ties.....

Do you want the truth or a romance story.
Truth---> No. Not an ounce of excitement, not a whisper of thrill.

randi-

one upside i can see to 2 neuro lymies getting hitched is zero arguements because neither could remember what was said a minute ago or what the fight was about.

other than that, i can't imagine many advantages...

I would love a healthy person so they can wait on me hand and foot when I do not feel good and then after I am better too. I need a healthy man that knows how to cook and clean and give a good massage so if anyone knows any men out there that are interested in waiting on a sick person hand and foot and cooking and dusitng while they are at it let me know. I really need to win the lotto so I can build a swimming pool and hire my own cabana boy.

I am living proof you can have neuro lyme and still have a good memory. Two two two mints in one a delicious tasting breath mint and I forget the rest of that Certs commercial.... I lied about the good memory but I did not want to scare any potentially interested cabana boys away.

Gee,
I was just thinking I need a rich sugar momma to support me in the way I wish to be,,well actually just a survival mode would be fine,,,I am a relatively cheap liver.

Actually two broke lymies living togeter sharing 'must have' expenses sounds wonderful to ME!!

Or somebody to TALK to across the street. Or back fence.

So far I have been able to fend off ALL offers!!(Didnt take much effort,,nope,ANY effort!)being I am --just don--

Vanilla,

Since you'll be interviewing cabana boys anyway, could you interview some for me? I live in California, too - maybe we can find brothers!

Once, when I had a short-lived improvement and was under the completely wrong impression I was getting well enough to date, I asked my LLMD about it. He said to try to meet someone at a Lyme support group.

Well, there isn't one near me, and it's hard enough to find someone compatible from zillions of people out there, so what are the chances of finding to perfect match at a support group?

On the other hand, I like the idea of being able to share meds!

I say you LLMD had his head up his you know what. Why doesn't he start his own leper colony in Iceland and leave us to date our cabana boys in peace and quiet. I wonder who he is dating?

I need someone healthy because no Lymie is going to have the stamina to cook and clean for me not to mention the massage schedule.. how could they possibly hold up? They need to do the shopping and errands as well. I am not going to have anyone working around their herxing schedule either. Not one to be into discrimination but I need constant care of the best kind. Suppose I need a cherry pie baked and they are off seeing their LLMD? It just would not work out for me. I have needs.

I think twin cabana boys would be good and the interviewing process a nice escape from Lyme. I say we rent a theater and start inteviewing them together soon. Of course once we get the numbers down to about 20 cabana boys they will need to be tested in our homes of course on their cleaning and cooking abilities. I also think we should take the 6 finalists with us to Bora Bora to see how well they travel. I hope A & E is interested in the movie rights. Someone needs to pay for the trip besides us.

Don once I win the lotto so I can buy a home in the Bay Area I will build you a home right next to mine so if you need your house cleaned or lunch cooked for you or an errand run you can always borrow my cabana boy. You can also come over and lay by the pool and get waited on hand and foot any time you want.

Life and Love is about finding the beauty in imperfections.

Vanilla,

I like the idea of renting a theater to hold auditions. It would be like American Idol, but instead of singing, there would be cooking and cleaning competitions.

I'm on a gluten-free diet, so my cabana guy needs to understand all the nuances of that.

I have a nice home so we can all move in here with our respective cabana guys, and we'll build a guest house for Don. I don't have a pool and my yard is teeny, so we'll have to figure out where and how to build one. Also, I was bitten by the tick just one mile down the street, so we will not force the cabana guys to do any gardening, and no pets will be outdoors pets.

My LLMD is moving his office to the Bay Area, so perhaps we can coordinate to hold auditions on my next trip to have an office visit.

Jill

That sounds good and I am eating gluten free too so the cabana boys will not have to be making too many different meals. They also need to understand my Tibetan diet but it has rather easy guidelines.

I say we build a healing complex near Point Reyes and we will some how have a tick free organic garden too to supply us with food. We could do raised beds on a patio to keep the ticks out.

We should also have some plushed out guest cottages so if people fly in from other places to see LLMDs here they can have a nice place to stay with of course their own cabana boy to wait on them.

I think it would be nice if we had a LLMD on our staff as well.

Kendrick, don't knock it until you've walked a mile in somebody else's shoes.

Comments such as "i hope you get a terminal illness then you'll have something to gripe about" are among the mildest i have been told.

I could tell you some real stories, and I bet there are other women on this board who know what i go through....

I am not looking for "perfection" but it doesn't hurt to dream or look at a good looking guy.

Often if it weren't for our dreams and hopes, many of us would not make it through the day.

So sorry I sounded so snotty and uppity to you, but, but don't judge me because I am down and like to read mush books and am a romantic.

I don't care whether he looks like James wOODS, BRUCE WILLIS, or Morgan Freeman, if he has half a heart, that's the most important thing.

But verbal abuse is cruel, no matter who you look like.....

Sorry, you don't know what I go through, so don't judge me, ok???

Not sure why you're getting so defensive. Generally, I'm such a non-serious person.

For the last 4 months, a good day for me is to not almost pass out from getting up and walking to the bathroom, and not being in ER.

I can go on about my exgirlfriend of 3 years cheating on me, running off like a gypsy, and she made many negative remarks towards me, my friend's wives cheating on them also, while that same year having 3 family members die including my 47 year old father, doctors thinking I may have testicular cancer(I didn't), starting a job in a sick building to find out I have Lyme(imagine both), losing my job(I was working towards trying to be Chief Financial Officer) due to being sick, losing my house, not being able to pay my $5k a month of bills because I can't work(not including medical), losing my hopes/dreams of being college professor(go back for Ph.D.),to now being bedridden and can't get doctors to find anything while almost collapsing just to take a sh-t.

I'm a romantic also... that's why I said that life and love is about finding the beauty in imperfections. (I also like hot women too though).

Considering this, I don't take anything serious anymore. I only make general statements or make jokes. Laughter is all I have right now. No offensiveness intended. [kiss]

Well you are all invited to the healing resort to stay as long as you would like in your very own cottage and we promise when we get done hiring the cabana boys we will let the male guests do the hiring of the cabana girls.

Nothing will be cheap about this resort including the liver. Do we really want liver on the menu? An one here fond of it? I guess we could serve it once a week for lunch with other options available. The fees will all be FREE!

The Yucatan might be a nice location or Hawaii.

PS we are open to any ideas that might make the resort the kind of place you would like to visit or move to so add your ideas to the list. I want a fresh water pond for swimming and floating and
some natural hot springs as well. Don Jill and I are on the board but others are welcome to join.

Ah, Kendrick, honey, I'm sorry. I'm so sensitive these days, I cry if you look at me. I wish you could have known me before all this...

We all have our problems and being married to one person who is so insensitive hurts a lot. He just doesn't understand that I have these headaches and eye and ear pain right now that are killing me!! I've tried everything and the pain is so bad I have been vomiting.

He says I do it to get attention!!! and that hurts...after supporting him for many years and paying his dang child support to boot...but you know all these things, don't cha?? cause it sounds like you've had your plate full, too?

I guess I'll continue to live in my fantasy world of romance and hope that there are many happy marriages out there....I've never seen one, but I know they exist....

Cabana or not...I sure would love to hang out at a pool and just crash...course I'd have my nose stuck in a book, but,hey, that's what dreams are made of.....

Maybe I SHOULD have said I have a cheap "lifestyle"

I sure didnt mean my liver is cheap.

Just that I have a VERY inexpensive life style aka a cheap live-r.

I even got my meds down to bare bones necessities,,,it most made me cry to buy abx for my raging tooth infection,,,why they cost $24.11 which is about twice what I pay for ANY thing these days.

The dentist told me how much he wanted for pulling all my top teeth and making me a denture,,,most fainted away on the spot. They MAY have to wait till lottery winning day!!!

But WITH the meds help I WAS able to sleep last nite,first time in about a week!! Dentists eyes rolled a few times when he asked me how long this dental infection has been going on(JUST 2 years, I replied) and IF I had pain from my other teeth that 'looked' painful.

Cabana boys,,,are they in charge of fetching bannannas too???

Vanilla,

I believe it is very important for the resort to have a thatched roof hut, which we will call the Doxycycline Hut - or Doxy Hut - for sunprotection when one is on a medication that causes sun sensitivity. Either that, or a shaded area surrounded by palm trees.

Perhaps the spa boutique can sell or give away the clothing with SPF in it - that's what I used when I was on Doxy.

There is an advantage to two neuro lymies living together....you both understand what the other is going thru!

After all the meds I've put through my liver, I don't think it could be considered very cheap!! [Big Grin]

Of course the hammock area will be thatched for reading and napping and we will also have many mature shade trees as well.

We will not be serving Don's liver for lunch either or any costly medicated livers for that matter. Just organically raised beef.

Ah ha! I am glad you cleared that up Don. I was wondering about the cheap liver too.

Glad you were able to get some sleep last night. Sleep is very good.

Hope you can get some peace with your teeth soon too. Ouch. Frustration.

I visited the senior apartments in town yesterday. Several people living there due to heatlh issues.

It is for 50 and over.

Thought of getting a piece of real estate for all those who are battling lyme while I was there.

There is a big common room there and different activities going on if you are up to it.

A place like that would be good for lyme patients.

We would not feel so isolated then, but then still have our own place to retreat and restore.
