immediate results, guaranteed by the steele.org.
dd i guess this doesn't belong in medical hu!!!!!

Yeah -- maybe we could get Mr Steere and Co to contribute a song. How about:
There's no business like Lyme business, like no business we know.
Everything about it we're concealing, everything the market will allow.
Nowhere could you get our smirky feeling, when we are taking your final bow.
There's no people like our people, our guile, when we are foe.
Even with our guidelines that we know are mold, that keep you stranded out in the cold,
Still we wouldn't change them - got our sack of gold -- Let's go on with our blow.

The All-Lyme Musical Review!
"I Just Can't Get You Out of My Mind"
"I Can't Get Over You"
"I Don't Want You Fooling With My Heart"
"I Have A Feeling It Could Be You"
And for Steere and the IDSA
"I Told A Little Lie"
Posted by Lisianthus (Member # 6631) on :
Actually......
All three of my sons have lyme. They all play instruments and are in a band together.
Guess what the name of their band is......
"The Color of Lyme"
Cool huh.
Here is where they have some of their music and their logo:
On a dark desert highway, so full of despair, Pain wracking my body `cuz I'm having a flare. Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim. I had to stop for the night.
A doctor stood in the doorway, might as well have been a cell, And I was thinking to myself, "Man, have I really been put through h*ll". When the Western Blot came back, I thought I'd found the way. But there were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say...
Welcome to the Hotel Ducksville. Such a scary place, I saw Shapiro's face. Plenty of room at the Hotel Ducksville. Any time of year, you can find it here.
Their minds are totally twisted, they make you hit dead-ends. They got a lot of rich and pretty boys that they call friends. How they dance in the courtrooms, making the good docs sweat. Putting on the pressure, full of nasty threats.
So I called up my LLMD, "I need my Rocephin fix." He said, "We haven't had that treatment here since two thousand six." And still those voices are calling from far away, Wake you up in the middle of the night Just to hear them say...
Welcome to the Hotel Ducksville. Such a scary place... I saw Wormser's face. You'll catch your death at the Hotel Ducksville. They are so full of lies, these ducks I despise.
My insurance called me - "Two weeks of meds is enough time." And I said "We are all just prisoners here, of this thing called Lyme." Then in the E.R. chambers, The ducks gathered `round the keets. They stab them with their steely knives, But they just can't kill the beasts.
Last thing I remember, I was Running for the door I had to find the passage back To the health I had before. "Relax," said the IDSA, "We are programmed to deceive. You can checkout any time you like, But you can never leave!"

I visited your son's page.
music sounded really good.
The graphic was cool too.
I hope they are well enough to play when they want.
I know how difficult this disease can make engaging in one's creative endevors.
Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :
Cave, the lymenutters would greatly appreciate the possible donation of the "ticks suck" audio tape to the newly-burgeoning Lyme Hits CD.
In addition to its appropriate topic and prior touring success, a poor quality taping will certainly assist with the nothing plus nothing equals nothing equation.
Also, we could let our eager public know that we have multiple CDs in the works, but we'll just list the titles for now, since I think they also get the point across.
So we are now putting out a call for song title lists that could benefit the cause...
Posted by Lisianthus (Member # 6631) on :
Thanks for your kind words Azure,
They have been on abx for about 2 years, and are getting alot better. But its been a rough few years. But they are grateful that they can all play (I think it actually takes their mind off of things)
They write their own music and my one son sings. Double click on the song "Message" you can hear it.
They are actually in the process of writing a song about lyme disease and the struggles everyone has to go through.
Their grandfather actually came up with their band name (he has LD also) But my son designed the logo (a lyme with tick legs and a bio-hazard sign) I think it looks kinda cool.
I am very proud of them.

my gosh all this musical talent the likes i've never seen.
this album could go triple platinum or maybe triple mercury.
gosh we already have enough songs to fill the first cd.
now we need the second cd.
we could send steere a free copy to him ,nih and cdc. will have to throw one in for the IDS also.
so this is what happens to people with lyme . they sit in bed all day thinking up songs about lyme &steere.
you people should all be getting better on your single dose of doxycycline. how come non of you are better?????
Hey that could be another title for album 2:
"HOW COME WERE NOT BETTER"

Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :
stymie, thx so much for steereing us all in the right direction. Maybe they'll think we're all barbourians on this site...
Ok, for our 2nd CD, today, HOW COME WE'RE NOT BETTER, here's a song in the making:
The first line is: "My single dose of doxy", to be followed by three more lines of your choosing.
Then we can have our first Lymenuts Lymenet Flash Discussion Medical Questions group song.
Here's my offering:
My single dose of doxy, Don't think it set me free. It really feels quite boxy, This coffin, Lyme and me.

Bravo, Lisi, to your three sons and family artistic endeavors here. I know what a challenge it is to do any of this with Lyme. Maybe our burgeoning Lymenuts site will inspire you all in your creative efforts. -- Robin

Don't forget the theme from Steere Trek...
"I Can't Get No.... Med-i-ca-tion."

How about this for the cover of the album...
Posted by stymielymie (Member # 10044) on :
Lisi: i think we'll give your kids the copyrights to all the songs written by the lymenuts.
they can compose and sing and who knows maybe we realy can make a cd.
but no money to steere orIDS only LDA or ILADS ok!!!!!!!!
maybe we can get a top ten hit. we can give the best song to the fox reporter and he can run with it fox.
tony: pluuuuuuuu!!!!!!!! i wanna come kick you in the aws. man the eagles stink, i can now be a tampa bay fan right. i gave up all my rights today for the eagles.
the eagles song is great by the way. may have to be our lead song.
BTW don't we have anything better to do????? aren't we suppose to get people better here??? our ducks can't.
this is for moral support i guess we all need some,every so often!!!
psyco dave Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :
I almost typed lymenut.org for the url...
stymie, this is aural support.
Q - stymie and tonyz, could you post your song versions here for Me And My Shadow, and Till There Was You, so we could read them on this burgeoning site?
They are the original 2 song versions that inspired our fundraising efforts today for ducktor steere and his duckpond and I think folks would enjoy reading them here.
Also, I think we may need to consider hiring an accountant soon for the growing CD collection. Do put in the job description that we're holistic in our thinking and don't get much past the number 0.

Reposted-- despite a lack of popular demand!
To the tune of "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head"
Spirochetes keep falling on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his
bed
Nothing seems to fit
Those
Spirochetes keep falling in my head, they keep falling...
But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me
Won't defeat me!
It won't be long before Zithromax (substitute favorite tx) steps up to relieve me...
***** Sorry guys, stymie and cave and tony inspired me and I had to share yet again in the all-Lyme musical review
Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :
We could be planning merchandise to go along with the music.
I like your idea of giving away tick-removal tweezers and two weeks free abx to customers.
How about giving away small snack packages of our favorite spiral foods, like spiral pasta and cooked bacon, to be known as Lymebits?

back for its second performance:
Me And My Shadow" (feat. Jonathan Wilkes)
[spoken] [Robbie: (american accent)] Johnny and Robbie [Jonathon:] What you talking like that for, you're from Stoke! [Robbie:] I dunno but I can't stop here pally
Like the wallpaper sticks to the wall Like the seashore clings to the sea Like you'll never get rid of your shadow(LYME) You'll never get rid of me
Let all the others fight and fuss(LYMENET) Whatever happens, we've got us.
(Me and my shadow) We're closer than pages that stick in a book We're closer than ripples that flow in a brook (Strolling down the avenue) Wherever you find him(BB), you'll find me, just look(BUT DON'T RUN ANY TESTS) Closer than a miser or the bloodhounds to Liza
Me and my shadow (ME & LYME) We're closer than smog to all of L.A. We're closer than Ricky to confessing he's gay?? Not a soul can bust this team in two(ME & LYME) We stick together like glue
And when it's sleeping time(WITH LOTS OF PILLS) That's when we rise(VIAGRA NECESSARY) We start to swing Our clocks don't chime What a surprise They ring-a-ding-ding! Happy New Year!(MAYBE NEXT YEAR)
(Me and my shadow) And now to repeat what I said at the start They'll need a large crowbar to break us(LYME &ME) apart We're alone but far from blue(ANTIDEPRESSANT HELP THIS)
Before we get finished, we'll make the town roar We'll hit a few late spots, and then a few more We'll wind up at Stringy's and maybe grab show Life is gonna be we-wow-whee!(YEH RIGHT) For my shadow and me!
[spoken] [Jonathon:] Can we do that again [Robbie:] No, I'm too tired(WHAT A SURPRIZE) [Jonathon:] Please Rob [Robbie:] No, I'm swung out [Jonathon:] I'll give you some money(IF I HAD ANY LEFT) [Robbie:] I don't need money [Jonathon:] What about a cup of tea(YEH TINCUPS FORMULA) [Robbie:] Not thirsty(WITH 2 GALLONS A DAY OF COURSE NOT) [Jonathon:] I'll won't tell anyone you're gay. [Both Laugh](NO GAY BASHING,THERE WELCOME HERE TOO!)
Before we get finished, we'll make the town roar We'll hit all the late spots, and then a few more We'll wind up at Stringy's and maybe grab show Life is gonna be we-wow-whee! For my shadow and me!
THIS SONG SHOULD BE CONVERTED FOR LYME THEME SONG. docdave
and z-man's
Ther were bells on the hill but I never heard them ringing
No I never heard them at all till there was lyme! (tinnitis)
There are birds in the air but I never see them winging
I can hardly see them at all(floaters) since there was lyme!
And there were street lights wonderful magical streetlights that glare(photosensativity)
and music that blares (audiosensativity)
and people that stare!
When I miss my chair(muscle weakness and uncoordination)
since there was lyme!

We could have an online silent auction fundraiser for duckpond and company. Everyone can bid very quietly for advance Lymenut CDs. The starting/ending bid is $00.00, which should make for very easy participation.
Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :
One more idea, and then I'm off to work on a Lyme musical!
Was just thinking -- the Lymenuts, the Lymebits, the Lymenutters -- kinda sounds like 50s groups.
What if we had Lyme songs in the styles of the various decades -- how early?, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s Lyme infection songs. Name of this CD: Lyme through Time.
It's for real -- people report getting bitten all through these years, seemingly most not knowing until much later what was going on at the time.
And don't forget Disco Duck.

should we get costumes also. we can get those old coke comercial costumes with the lyme in the coconut. we can even use that as another song: "put the lyme in your throat you nut(steere) and swish it all around"

Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :
Oh, Vermont, we're making progress here. Today we started with one Lymenut CD, with generous contributions pouring in!
Then we heard about a family Lyme band and an llmd "Ticks Suck" audio tape.
Now we're planning multiple Lymenutter CDs, considering hiring an accountant, planning merchandise and offering an online silent auction to raise funds for steere's duckpond.
I'm off to do a Lyme musical, and now yes, you suggest a Lyme opera. Maybe we could call it "It's Opera-tick" for now?
So far Vermont has suggested a lead character, disco duck, with I guess a chorus of ducks, and maybe another chorus of llmds to the rescue, and we need some more character and plot ideas to flesh out the opera, please...
Thank you Stymie for kicking off a highly entertaining day!

Hey, our little starting efforts today could turn out some good stuff!
Texas, was thinking about your Hotel California song -- great job. The first chorus line, was wondering about it mimicking the 4-syllable California word for easier singing.
First ideas: Welcome to the Hotel ala Duckville; Welcome to the Hotel, called The Duckville; Welcome to the Hotel, call it Duckville.
What do ya think?

I've got lyme under my skin
I've got lyme deep in the heart of me
because of ducks you're really a part of me
I've got lyme under my skin
I've got lyme under my skin
I've got lyme in every part of me
In tendons ligaments and cartilige
I've got lyme under my skin
The ducks say take two and come what may
At the risk of killing us all
but they're all paid by Hmo's and IDSA
So our backs are against the wall
we've got a petition for washington
and a bill or two in the air
but they're all paid off by big pharmaceutical
I doubt if they even care
Meantime my thoughts keep a spinnin
and floaters are wing'in
and people all round think I'm weird
They can't see my pain,twitches or hear the noise
That repeats and repeats in my ears
Oh my Gawd I hope I can win
cuz I've got lyme under my skin

Way out west when the sun goes down
A lizard goes a huntin'
And while it hunts, all keets are killed
and they call the cure melatonin.
Yes, they call the cure melatonin.
Melatonin has an indole bond
That bond is easily broken
And when it breaks, nitro's released
and they call the cure melatonin.
Yes they call the cure melatonin.
But we don't make enough it seems
to do what that lizard can
so we have to find another way
to release that healing nitro.
To release that healing nitro.
For when that nitro is released
It joins with lonely oxy
And it is that bond
that does the trick
To destroy that darn infection.

Transylvania Tick (sung to Monster Mash)
I was working in the lab late one night When my eyes beheld and eerie sight For my tick from his petrie began to crawl And suddenly to my surprise
(chorus) He did the dash He did the spirochete dash the spirochete dash It was a graveyard smash He did the dash It was endemic in a flash He did the dash He did the spirochete dash.
From my laboratory in Duck U east To the faculty cafeteria where the vampires feast The Ghouls all came for their lavish abodes To get a pinch from my electrodes
Chorus
The zombies were drawing near The Party was something to fear, The guests included Wormser, Shapiro and Steere
Chorus
Out from his coffin,Steere's voice did ring Seems he was troubled by just one thing He opened the lid and shook his fist And said "Whatever happened to my Transylvania Tick?
Chorus
Now everything's cool, Steere's part of the band And my sphirocite dash is endemic in the land For you the living, this dash was meant too When you get to Death's Door, tell them Steere sent you.

I think the Lymenuts need a group of back-up singers called the Coinfections.
It could be an all-girl group, kind of like Diana Ross and the Supremes, starring Bartonella, Ehrlichia, Babesia, Anaplasma, Mycoplasma and Tularemia.
And remember, the big money is in merchandising. In addition to the CD and concert tour, we need T-shirts, action figures, baseball caps - not to mention the ever-coveted Lymenuts and the Coinfections picc-line cover!

Now digitally remixed: "ME AND MY SHADOW"
Shades of night are falling and I'm lonely Standing on the corner feeling blue My wifes out for fun, leaving me home Guess I'll wind up like I always do, with only
Me and my LYME Caneing down the avenue Me and my LYME Not another soul to tell my troubles to
And when it's 7 o'clock, we CRAWL UP the stair We never knock, for nobody's there Just me and my LYME All alone and feeling blue
When the sun sets on the far horizon When the wall start creeping in BABS,ERLY AND BART, put their SHOES on They're all set. but we'll still NOT go, so lonely
Me and my LYME Wheelchairing down the avenue Me and my LYME Not another soul to tell my troubles to
And when it's 8 o'clock, we can't fall asleep We ask for help, but nobody's there Just me and my LYME All alone and feeling blue

Oh man, this group has outdone itself!!
And marnie's song even has a healing message!
Some songs just don't need much editing:
I'm so dizzy my head is spinning
Like a whirlpool, it never ends
And it's you, Bb, making it spin
You're makin' me DIZZY
I know I want Meryl Streep to play me in the Lymenuts movie! Even though I am not that old!
The LLMDs and Lymenetters can be a fine looking group, with Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Christian Bale, Scarlett whatever her name is, Judy Davis (add your favorites)
Steere will have to be played by someone with proper gravitas. Marlon Brando and Bela Lugosi are already gone, so it will have to be James Earl Jones or Anthony Hopkins.

So, two touring groups(well, three if Lisi's family want to join in) -- the LLMDs and the Lymenetters, and the Lymenuts and the Coinfections.
The all-female Coinfections will develop a following as Bart, Ehrl, Babs, Ana, Myco and Tule. They could have as a guest Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever as a cowboy type perhaps.
You know, I know what the ketes look like, but not the others. Whatever that is can be incorporated in the dress style.
Oh excuse me -- if we take up Cobweb's suggestion, we won't have to worry about a dress code, and there'll be no problem with attracting an audience. "Now we'll show you all how to look for ticks."
I recommend some set designs to go along with each of the songs.
We can have creative Lyme drinks at the concerts.
Ok Vermont -- you plan the movie...

When I suggested the Coinfections as the back-up group, I completely overlooked the Country music potential of all this - and I love Country music! Thank you, Robin for rounding out the musical appeal.
I agree, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever will join the Coinfections, and Lone Star Tick will join the Lymenuts, for a rousing rendition of John Denver's "Rocky Mountain Lyme."

Rich Duck
Sung to the tune of "Rich Girl" by Hall & Oates
You're a rich duck, and you've gone too far
cause you know it don't matter anyway
You can rely on the same grant money
You can rely on the funding honey
It's a bit@h girl but it's gone too far
cause you know it dont matter anyway
Say money but it wont get you too far,
Get you too far
And don't you know, don't you know
That it's wrong to take what is given you
So far gone, on your own
You can get along if you try to be strong
But you'll never be strong
cause
You're a rich duck, and you've gone too far
cause you know it don't matter anyway
You can rely on the same grant money
You can rely on the funding honey
It's a bit@h girl and it's gone too far
cause you know it don't matter anyway
Say money but it wont get you too far,
Get you too far
High and dry, out of the rain
It's so easy to hurt others when you can't feel pain
And don't you know that a love can't grow
cause there's too much to give, cause you'd rather live
For the thrill of it all, oh
You're a rich duck, and you've gone too far
cause you know it don't matter anyway
You can rely on the same grant money
You can rely on the funding honey
It's a bit@h girl and its gone too far
cause you know it don't matter anyway
Say money but it won't get you too far,
Say money but it won't get you too far,
Say money but it won't get you too far,
Get you too far

Any of you with teenage kids may like this one:
To the tune of Rush (Into the Rush) by Aly and AJ:
Into your head, into your mind Twitch in your eye, unexplained pains, You can't escape, you can't escape.
Into your life, into your dreams, Out of the dark, wish you could sleep. You can't explain, they can't explain.
You can feel it, You can feel it, Ringin' in your ears, Rushin' through your veins, You can feel it, You can feel it,
Don't let the doctors tell you, your life is over, Or that there's nothing wrong with you, Lyme really sucks now, But you gotta know how, Getting well will take some time.
You wake up, the world's spinning around, You can't lift your feet, off of the ground, You can't believe this is happening now.
You can feel it, You can feel it, Rushin' through your nerves, Rushin' through your veins, You can feel it, You can feel it,
Don't let the doctors tell you, your life is over, Or that there's nothing wrong with you, Don't be in a rush now Be careful of thrush, Wow, Getting well will take some time.
It takes you to another place, imagine hell, if you can. You start the drugs and herx again, You wonder if it will ever end.
You can feel it
Don't let the doctors tell you, your life is over, Or that there's nothing wrong with you, Lyme really sucks now, But you gotta know how, Getting well will take some time.
Don't let, the doctors tell you, Don't let, the doctors tell you, Don't let the doctors tell you, your life is over, Or that there's nothing wrong with you, Lyme really sucks now, But you gotta know how, Getting well will take some time.

Going on third page here! I am so impressed! Some songs I don't even know --makes me wanna hear them!
Obviously getting the songs recorded is the strongest way to go, but wondering also if the verses themselves could be published -- as long as copyright considerations are checked on.
We need a Texan country song for the Lone Star tick. Don't forget to include that it has spread, or been spread, to the East coast as well now.
Next up is...
This Lyme is my Lyme, this Lyme is your Lyme From California, to the New York Island In the redwood forests, by the gulfstream waters This Lyme was made for you and me.
A tick was walking that ribbon of highway A tick was falling from trees in my way A tick below me, there in the valley This Lyme was made for you and me.
I roamed and rambled, and in my footstep A startling brand of ixodes inserts And all throughout me, infection spreading This Lyme was made for you and me.
(PS I was bit on my foot)

Well, there is a successful Country band called Lone Star. It's only fitting that they record it!
Isn't the Lone Star tick disease referred to as STARI?
For all you baby boomers like me, there was that Don McLean song of "Starry, Starry night" which could easily be convered to "STARI, STARI night."

Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :
hey tree --
yeah, this creative effort is a rather humorous form of activism, but I looked at the activism site and it's not very much used. This site seems to be the one everyone comes to. I think people have enjoyed reading and participating in this ongoing thread here. So what to do?
One more thought: maybe there is a medical question here behind all this, which is, what is the healing value of laughter?
A lot has been done on this topic. Norman Cousins' book, Anatomy of An Illness comes to mind, where he watched Marx Bros movies, got kicked out of the hospital for being too happy, and laughed himself well(along with the help of some Vitamin C) from ankylosing spondylitis..
So we are participating in the answer to that medical question right here. I think this thread makes a lot of people laugh and that's good for us. Raises our endorphins. It's Lymenet Flash medicine of the nondrug kind. If anyone heals their Lyme/co's because of us, do let us know.
Stymie, I'm recovering from the flu, but the ducks did not help me with it, so I think I'll send them a duck bill for .10

(drumroll)
Gory story, I don't see you Gory story, don't wanna be you Gory story, I would flee you The ketes are marching in.
In the juice from South East Asia Hope is born again to see With its antioxidants that can Transfigure eye of me As eye died from keets so lowly Let me drink to make me free The juice is pouring in!

So I take my bid back, You're going too high for me-until the royalties start rolling in.
which reminds me of a song I once heard: "Rollin' Rollin' Rollin' Keep them ticks a rollin' R-a-w-h-i-d-e." etc.
PS- not to change the subject or anything-but we just flushed a live deer tick I found crawling on my daughter-probably from petting her dear dog. What's the best way to dispose of live tick's? Bonfire? Bleach? Freezer? Suffocation in a sandwich bag? Hammer?
Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :
Sorry Cobweb -- I was singing the song and missing the last line -- do as you wish...
Oy, the tick on your daughter -- lucky you caught it -- are you all wearing any kind of tick repellant?
I like the hammer option of disposal:
If I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the morning I'd hammer in the evening, all over this land I'd hammer out black ticks I'd hammer out brown ticks I'd hammer out the struggles between the duckters and resisters all over this la-aa-aa-and...
little digression there...can't respond to anyone without singing on this site...
Kennedy, we'll audition you next week...
Ok -- we were discussing a song for the Lone Star tick earlier, and Jill suggested trying Starry Starry Night, since the tick carries STARI.
I looked it up -- it stands for Southern Tick Associated Rash Illness; it's a borrelia lonestari strain, a little different than Bb.
So here's a stab at this one:
STARI STARI Night
STARI, STARI bite Taint your palate red and bright Look out on a mammal's day Tick ties that start the darkness in my soul.
Shadows in the bod Wretched knees and body ills Catch disease with all its chills In dolors in the oh-I'm-in-a bind.
Now I understand what you died to do to me How I suffered for your travesty How I tried to set me free.
There was no lesson, we did not know, ow Well, here's a lesson now.

Well the southside of the Hamptons its the baddest part of town and if you go out there you betta just beware because the ticks they run the town
You'll find them at McDonalds and the 7-11 too or at Princess Diner or Pier 1 or at a late night barbeque
The ticks they love the people especially them movie stars ticks lie in wait on the big estates for the people with the fancy cars
Then they suck suck suck it down the creepest of crawlies in this whole damn town ain't no west nile mosquito its the ticks that rule this town
So now now now your bit feeling kinda loopy and your really sick just when you thought you couldn't get anymore down you find out there is no one to treat you in town.

Robin- I think you have enough for a solo album- you could start your own bidding. Posted by *Daisy* (Member # 9593) on :
I would double DocDave's bid but I am not sure how much that would be, lyme fog is bad on my math
Love all the songs, but I will have to say The Leroy Brown is my favorite, I have a dog named that!!
Maybe we could get Weird Al Yakovich involved in this album!!

Well if you ever plan to walk west Just take my way that's the highway that's the best Get your ticks on Route 66
Well it winds from Chicago to L.A. More than 2000 miles all the way Get your ticks on Route 66.
Would you get hip to this kindly tip And go take that California trip Get your ticks on Route 66.

Thx Cob -- luv your cobtributions here --
Daisy, doubling stymie's bid would put yours at 24 zero's -- hm -- $000000000000000000000000.00 -- great job -- that's almost half a line --
you could be a winner of our first set of 24 cd's -- plus the IDSA will send you a thank you note for all your research help --
(Dear Daisy: Thank you for zeroing in on our ill-ustrious group's efforts to let you know there is really nothing wrong with you at all. Have a nice day. -- the IDSA)
so who's working on the opera with stymie? fat singers -- well, engorged ticks are Real Fat -- maybe we could give them some heavy parts
Ok -- this one is for our current news about the recent new IDSA guidelines and ILADS' request for retraction -- we live in interesting times...
(to the tune "Reviewing the Situation" sung by Fagin, the pickpocket organizer, in the musical "Oliver")
It's retraction! Guidelines retraction! It's retraction of this ill we're calling for! You've had your news fling To give us nothing And now we all will show you out the door!
We're reviewing the situation -- Can a ducktor be a villain all his life? All the trials and tribulations -- Better settle down and stop creating strife!
We're reviewing the situation -- We must quickly look up everyone we know! ILADS people, with a mission Who can help us make a real progressive show!
It's retraction! Guidelines retraction! It's retraction of this ill we're calling for! You've pulled your worst shtick To keep us tick-sick And now we tell you zero is your score!

There's a site for us Somewhere a site for us Poems our diet and hopin' fare Wait for us somewhere.
There's a rhyme for us Someway a rhyme for us Rhyme together with rhyme to spare Rhyme to burn, rhyme to share.
Some day we'll find a new song for living And hope it's hope that we're giving Somewhere.

Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :
Ok, folks, thx for the accolades -- well, stymie, you started it all, and look at the response you got -- brilliant, I might say!! --
as newly-appointed lymenet musical director, gotta say very little happens here without continued efforts of note -- keep those songs coming in if you have anything left in you to sing about.
and hey, as newly-appointed lymenet musical director, does this make me an md of sorts? then I could prescribe songs, I guess
I recommend gentle ones in the morning, ticked-off ones during the day, and once again relaxing notes at night.
And if you have no sleep cycle at all, then I regret to inform you that you will have no song cycle.
However, you may choose the category of song to sing depending on the current relationship between you and your ketes&co's(that would make a good song title, someone...)
Choral auditions are next week.
We could use a good ticksong atty to check on copyright issues.
We could still use a ticked-off accountant to handle the zero impact of the bids for the advance CDs, as well as tax write-offs for our contributions to the duckpond
keep in mind that any songs addressing medical questions might keep us here.
And if you're able to answer them, as Marnie did, you will receive a Lymenet musical plague award for your contributions to the advancement of Bb/co's understanding through song.
Don't forget to sign our petition to keep us high up on the first page of medical questions!!
yours, robin bobbobbobbin' asong, md
PS we might need a board of directors, (to be known heretofore as the bod, as in this bod doesn't hurt! -- it sings!) let us know of your qualifications if you are interested

Twinkle Twinkle little Stari How I wonder where you arey Up above the tree so low, Like a fungus on your toe Twinkle Twinkle Little Tick How I Wonder where you sit.
When the blazing pain is gone, When the rash shines upon, Then you show your little butt, Twinkle, twinkle, all the nuts. Twinkle, twinkle, little Lyme, How I wonder where you are!
When you travel in the night Thanks you for your tiny bite; I could see which way to go, If you did not bite me so. Twinkle, twinkle, little Lyme, Now I wonder what's you crime!

The Hotel California is awesome and Robin, inspired with the "this lyme is your lyme, this lyme is my lyme."
So, yes, I am upping the ante -- and bidding in EUROS.
That's right, the euro is worth more than the dollar these days, and I want this first CD badly..

When the ticks crawl in they're lean and thin When the ticks crawl out they're fat and stout Your eyes fall in and your hair falls out Your brains come pouring out your snout

Your eyes pop out, your teeth decay and that's the end of a another day. Posted by lymie tony z (Member # 5130) on :

Rescue me There's a tick on my arm, Rescue me It's going to cause me great harm. And I'm bitten and I'm blue I need you and your tweezers too.
CHORUS Come on and rescue me Come on baby and rescue me Come on baby and rescue me Coz I need you,by my side, Can't you see that I'm bitten Rescue me.
Come on and do your part Take those tweezers and pull it apart Coz I'm bitten and I'm blue I need you,and my heart,too

Rescue me There's a tick on my arm Rescue me It's going to cause me great harm And I'm bitten and I'm blue I need you and your tweezers,too Come on and rescue me Come on baby, take it baby, pull it baby, don't squeeze it baby Can't you see, that I need you baby Can't you see that I'm bitten Rescue me

According to Count Dracula- there are two spelling errors in the sentence above. TWO- count TWO. One Two.
Now Cave and Tony both have to write "One Two" two times before Halloween or Count Dracula is going to get you .
Now here's a medical question- IF Count Dracula does suck your blood, will he get Lyme ?
Your Imaginary Friend trying to save the world and keep this thread in Medical Questions. Wally
Posted by Walter Mitty (Member # 10481) on :
Yes You are correct there are three- BUT I didn't copy the whole post-I only copied ONE sentence. Count ONE.
Aren't you the ONE who's head exploded doing math and Robin was going to mop it up? Sorry I couldn't save you in time.
Anyway- Tony won't be here for a while, he's duking it out with Brent on another thread.
And he thinks Cobweb and Carol B have a problem. It's all relative. Get it ? Relative?
If you answer my question ,Cave, you won't have to do remedial spelling. If Count Dracula sucks your blood will he get Lyme?
Posted by Walter Mitty (Member # 10481) on :
PS-you got remedial spelling in the first place because you didn't correct his spelling. Just complaned about it. Posted by stymielymie (Member # 10044) on :
if Count Dracula sucked Carol's blood would he be Carol Dracula???? or maybe Count Babesia.
we could have Count Babesia ochestrate one of our songs with Lymie Armstrong.
He could also be the Count of Crisco, since y'all like bacon greazze soooo much.

You can take that whatever way you wish! It's either here or there.
That abbreviation for etcetera is often errantly typed as ECT....as well.

OK Ole Wally,
Perhaps I missed a clue.....
Perhaps someone changed the game to hide and seek!
However my deduction and diagnosis is that you sir or madam are some type of sociopath...
Your life is soooo boring and uneventful you feel the need to disassociate yourself.
I suggest you seek proper psychiatric care as soon as you morph into a person who will put aside any grandiose megalomaniacal personality flaws and actually listen to someone other than yourself...or your inner self who is really sick!
You may note that I chose sick as opposed to ironic.
This is because you choose to disassociate yourself into a fictional entity who chooses to disassociate himself from his already fictitious personality.

ok ok will start on xmas songs, but gotta get thru halloween first...
Am pleased to announce that I testified as a tick at city hall board of supervisors meeting today on halloween, which gets retelevised a couple times during the week as well.
Getting my pillow-stuffed tick through security was the hardest part. They wanted to open up Tick Shtick to see what was inside of him. I said I didn't think they would be able to find any spirochetes. So he was put thru the xray machine and passed, without passing out. Hardy little thing.
Tick Shtick spoke about being a San Francisco resident, as well as the rest of the world. He said he was thrilled that his best friends, the IDSA, had come out with Lyme/co guidelines that he totally approved of.

He hoped he had either ticked off or not ticked off the audience, depending on whose side they were on. The board president thanked him for his Educational Public Service Announcement.

Congrats Robin-Have you ever seen a picture of Godzilla Tick (aka LMT) famous on the East Coast?
Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :
No, I haven't seen godzilla tick -- what does it look like? or are there lots of variants? and what's LMT?
hey, if anyone makes a typo, just explain it's your bloodtype, and that ticks like it
ok -- before xmas is thanksgiving -- any TG tick songs out there?
here's one I know:
Turkey with a tick, turkey went ta-ta Turkey with a tick, turkey went ta-ta Spiroketes will twist 'em up and make turkey sick And twisted up, this tune, called Turkey with a Tick
Posted by lymemomtooo (Member # 5396) on :
Robin, that would be me..LMT-lymemomtooo. I have a lime green tick suit that I wear on occasion. Used it last night to hand out candy..A few were afraid but then I explained and told the little rug rats to make sure they checked for ticks.
We have so many leaves down and the suits were often dragging on the ground. It was a mixture for danger and unwanted tick hitch-hikers.
And our ducks are not swift enough to think Lyme disease. lymemomtooo
Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :
LMT -- did you hand out lime candy? Amazing that you'd have to watch out on halloween for ticks! That's a real public service you did. What does your tick costume look like?
Me, I just had a little stuffed tick that no one was too worried about, other than security. Until it started to crawl out of the chambers...
Posted by lymemomtooo (Member # 5396) on :
Not sure I can explain it very well. It is large and made of foam rubber covered in lime green felt. In the back it has two staps to use to attach to my body.
It has segmented arms and I also bought lime green gloves and bedroom slippers to use.
I did a separate cap like thing for the head.
Carol calls me Godzilla Tick since she THINKS I got more interest than she did at the rally..Ha..I may have gotten more laughs..She was green with envy..Will let her try it some day and see that it is not very comfortable on one's back.
But the thing that was important then was that the parents and kids came to support Dr. Jones. Nothing else mattered that day. I hope they continue to offer him their support.
Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :
If you guys are ready to consider xmas songs, we still need coinfection songs.
Actually, coinfection songs in general. I don't have coinfections, so I cannot type here from personal experience, so help us out...
How about a co to Fever all thru the Night? Cinderella Rockefeller for bartonella? Cecilia for babesia? Rocky Mountain High for RMSF?
Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :
Here's a simple song made to order for our topic:
Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam Where the deer and the antelope play Where seldom is heard a discouraging word For we ticks like to bite them all day.
Home, home on the range Where the deer and the antelope play Where seldom is heard a discouraging word For we ticks are so happy all day.

Pet ticks, yeah -- easy to make -- I stuffed Tick Shtick for his testimony at city hall on Tuesday --
Wrapped a small pillow case in 4 small black plastic bags -- tied each bag around with 2 loops resulting; scotchtaped up each loop for tighter, leggier look.
For each subsequent bag wrap-around, poked holes so the previous loops stuck out. Aimed loop locations for where they should basically appear as two little legs each time.
Pet tick wrapping holiday workshops coming soon. 0.00 cost.

Hey - don't see the second lymenuts CD site anymore -- guess it would have been too much for this site to replicate its strains so quickly...
Can't remember if anyone else posted a song on it. If you did, please re-post here. Don't want to lose any of our lovely songs.
Re-posting my two:
Lyme songs keep calling in my head And just like the spiroketes that zigzag -- so well-fed -- "Nutlyme" seems to fit. Those songs they keep calling in my head They keep calling...
And...
Somewhere under the rainbow, not so high There's a land that I hurt from -- was from ticks passing by.
Somewhere under the rainbow, I am blue And the dreams that I dare to dream Will they e'er come true?
Some day I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the lyme is far behind me
Where troubles melt like lyme-ade drops away above the IV props, That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere under the rainbow, blue birds fly Birds fly under the rainbow well then, oh my, do I.
If little birds with ticks do fly beneath the rainbow well...then...so...do...I...
Speaking of the Wizard, could redo as:
We're off to see the lizard, the wonderful lizard of "ahs". Because, because, because, because because of the wonderful things that he does.
That's a preface for Marnie's lizard song.

I liked Stymie's idea for the Lymenutcracker ballet/dance of the spiroketes -- any more titles?
To the opening theme of the nutcracker;
We are thelyme nut crack ers, Come to you this sea- son. We bring younut- ty ly- rics With their rhymes and re- ea- sons.

How about " Crawl of the sugar free Lymies" instead of dance of the sugar plum fairies,
hey tutu:
you have to make the lyme green tutu's but i refuse to wear lyme tights, that's my limit.
do we get the wear one of those family jewel enhancers, i'm in tights or not.
we can dress the Mouse King with a medical lab coat with IDS in red letters on the back. How appropiate, his men can be dressed as deer.
the land of snow can be the land of ticks, with ticks faling from the sky.
the land of sweets, can be the land of sweat. the candies can be pills
clara wakes under a tree with a big monster tick on her head and the Aflac duck by her side.
how's that for an outline for the ballet.
next is peter and the wolf, guess who the wolf is?????????

Your second sites been moved to general support. so we need some more medical info to keep us here docdave Posted by Cobweb (Member # 10053) on :
Stymie's take on the Crawl of the whatevers-my memory doesn't serve me well today-was great. Made me think of a question-since this is a medical questions forum:
How fast can a tick crawl? Of course the answer would probably be contingent on the surface it was trying to navigate.
Could we try and raise money by having tick races? I bet $00.00 on the tick that bit me-he was quick--so fast I didn't even see him.

Ok, a couple med songs coming up... Marnie may have to correct my song facts. Marnie -- some more medical songs please.

Just realized we could qualify for another site here -- since the IDSA wants nothing to do with lyme/co's, I think that qualifies them for off and off-topic. I have just posted there to that effect.

When you wish upon a duck,Lyme will hit you like a truck Nothing that your heart desires will come to you.
If a tick has hung on long, you'll be weak instead of strong When you wish upon a duck as idyuts do.

Starting to right the sequel to CATS NEW SEQUEL IS CALLED TICKS
featuring "Memories"
Song: Memory Lyrics
Daylight See the tick on the sunflower And a body that is fading Lyme whither away Like the sunflower I yearn to turn my face to the sun I am waiting for a good day . . .
Midnight Many sound from the head Has the body lost her memory? She is smiling alone In the lamplight The withered ticks collect at my feet And the body begins to moan
Memory All alone in the moonlight I can smile at the old days I was beautiful then I remember the time I knew what happiness was Let the memory live again
Every streetlight Seems to blind me a fatalistic warning Many people mutter And the streetlight is gone Thank G-D it will soon be morning
Daylight I must wait for the sunrise I must think of a new life And I musn't give in When the dawn comes Tonight will be a memory too And a new day will begin
Burnt out body from medicine days The stale cold smell of yeast The streetlamp dies, another night is over Another bad day is dawning
Touch me It's so easy to leave me All alone with the memory Of my days in the sun If you touch me You'll understand what happiness is
Look A new day has begun
docdave like the last stanza very lyme appropriate, but sad
Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :

Name that tune-originally sung by Lionel Ritchie:
(Host to Tick) No thanks for the times That you've given me The symptoms are all in my mind And now that we've come To the end of our rope There's something I must say out loud- We're once , twice Three times afraidy Yes we're once twice Three times afraidy
(Tick chimes in to Host) And I love you When we are together The moments I cherish With every pinch of my fangs To touch you,to bite you To feel you, to need you There's nothing to keep us apart You're once, twice Three times afraidy And I love you I love you.

Buying someone's URL or name if trademarked (I doubt hers is) can be expensive.
Let's invite her to join our Lymenut - she can be one of the Coinfections back-up singers and wear a lovely tutu!
Who could turn down an offer like that?
I wish I had kept my ballet toe shoes from my youth - I didn't realize I'd ever dance the nutcracker again.
I am looking forward to being in CATS. Perhaps I'll be on Rifampin then for the Bartonella - in fact, it could be an all-Cat-Scratch-Disease cast!!
Jill
Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :
So Jill -- which part are you going to dance in the lymenutcracker?
I think Elizabeth Tashjian might be open to singing with the Coinfections -- she's already had a nut limelight show -- she could be our positive ELIZA -- It's Positively ELIZA and the Coinfections
And yes, we need a cat-scratch number in TICKS! Stymie???
OK, for tonite's history lesson, there WAS a Limeliters group -- a trio that got started in 1959 and put out a lot of popular records. I was a kid when I heard their album Through Children's Eyes -- anyone here ever hear any Limeliters records?
There was a song they sang:
Stay on the Sunny Side, always on the sunny side, stay on the sunny side of life. You'll feel no pain as we drive you insane, if you stay on the sunny side of life.
So of course my IDSA rewrite is:
Stay on the Money Side, always on the money side, stay on the money side of life. We'll feel the gain as we drive you insane, as we stay on the money side of life.

Of course Elizabeth would want to join our group, and I love the Positive ELIZA.

We could have our dancers form a bulls-eye rash!
That way, we'd have a positive ELIZA/ELISA and a bulls-eye rash. That means our musical would actually comply with new IDSA guidelines!
In terms of which role I will dance in the lymenutcracker, I was a ballerina as a child. But now as an adult with Lyme, is there a role for someone with Achilles Tendon damage, neuropathy and muscle pain?
Perhaps there is a role where I can just be sitting down. But I still want to wear a tutu - that's the whole motivation.
Sorry, docdave, that you're not feeling well.
Take care, Jill

Jill, I love it -- come one, come all to see the Lyme ballet musical that complies with IDSA guidelines!! Come see the Lymenuts with their Positive Eliza(maybe we need a group of the Positive Elizas) and their amazing bull's eye rash choreography!
Now we need a Lyme choreographer for the dance of the tick bite, followed by the Busby Berkeley Bull's Eye Bash!
Then in dances a little solo doxy tablet, followed by 14(two weeks worth) doxydancers, and then the rest of the efforts to Get Anywhere At All by the rest of the company. Including the can-can number of the positive ELIZAS. Yes, you can-can get a positive Eliza too. We could sell Positive Eliza dolls.
No wait -- this one sounds like a Beach Blanket Babylon plot. Snow White tries to find her prince in this long-running San Francisco show. So in ours, she's looking for what? an llmd? a positive Elisa? A positive test result? A cure?
How you would dance -- there have been lots of ballets where dancers move the limbs of other dancers. So those with lyme can remain seated and have their limbs gently moved by well dancers.
Interesting that you mention achilles heel tendon damage. That happened to me last year and no one had a clue what was happening.
I went through a year of physical therapy efforts before a nurse ONLINE figured out I probably had Lyme. NOT ONE medical person here figured it out in the 25 years I spent trying to find out and treat what was going on.
I then informed the physical therapy place -- they were not aware of Lyme disease! And they treat our bodies. Incredible. Well, now they know...

My Achilles Tendon issues are from quinolones/Bart treatment (hence my perfect qualification to star in the Lymenuts version of CATS. Plus, I got Lyme from a tick on a cat, so it all comes full circle (like a bulls-eye!)
Given my impaired condition, rather than have a male ballet dancer dance with me, perhaps a physical therapist could!! If I go into muscle spasm, he could throw a hot pack on me or chase me with a little ultrasound or TENS unit.
Oh, the choreographic possibilities!!
Jill
Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :
Some physical therapists were previously dancers who got injured -- so they could choreograph the pt ballet, with staged placement of their equipment, therabands to move us gently, heat pack pas de deux -- definitely ultra sound ideas for our kind...
Thx for letting me know about your Achilles heel issues. Looks like our predicaments spring from various sources.
And you do have a natural role in the TICKS/CATS musical. I wonder which cat number in Cats could be adapted for a cat scratch song...

Ok, tonite's song is:
We are sixteen, going on sixty, yes, it is all absurd how ticks with Lyme and other infections bite us, with lives deferred.
We are sixteen, going on sixty, just learnin' 'bout this plague. It doesn't help that doctors are spreading info that's false and vague.
Totally unprepared are they -- the I*D*S*A docs who owe allegiance to their peers and to insurance hawks.
World is seventeen, going on seventy, we'll tell you what to do: tick repellant, going on pre-bite will take care of you.

Carol,
You and I must have been having a mind-meld. Just moments ago, I was blow-drying my hair, when suddenly the song YMCA popped into my head out of nowhere.
Figuring I was just having some blow-dryer induced musical hallucination, I didn't think anything of it. But then, I thought - the Lymenuts - this would be perfect.
I raced to the computer with half-wet hair (yes, risking electrocution), logged on, and there was your spectacularly written song. You did a great job!!!
And it just calls for some wonderful choreography.
The question is, are we going to dress up like the Village People, but still wear our tutus over the costumes?
Thanks for the great laugh!

I absentmindedly typed in www.lymenuts.org and to my great surprise, discovered that we've been beaten to the punch --
one of the first entries there lets you know there's been a Nut Lady with a Nut Museum in the town of Old Lyme -- she is Elizabeth Tashjian, she's 93 yrs old now and still nuts evidently and she sings her own self-penned nut songs. She had an exhibit called Nuts in the Limelight -- I kid you not!
We must have been channeling her...In a lymenutshell, how psychic can you get? Lymenut Culturists, that's what we be...
Buying someone's URL or name if trademarked (I doubt hers is) can be expensive.
Let's invite her to join our Lymenut - she can be one of the Coinfections back-up singers and wear a lovely tutu!
Who could turn down an offer like that?....
Jill
Not a bad idea! Anybody contact her yet?
What are the chances that she really could have lyme disease being from Old Lyme, CT?

Medical Relevance thought for the day...
Singing the songs on this thread outloud is the best way to enjoy them. Also you exercise your diaphram and increase the oxygen level in your blood. (Lyme is anerobic right)
Some of the posts on this thread could cause you to laugh so hard you could benefit from laughter induced exercise and actually increase your oxygen levels.
Why not throw in that you would burn more calories, and increase your metabolism thereby promoting weightloss.
Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :
Cobweb, you're the first to submit IDSA. It's perfecto! I immediately ran to the mirror to spell it out -- had to work on the D to S transition...
I propose that when Lymies meet, we work out the song gestures. The S maneuver reminded me of squiggly spirochetes. It'd be great for a meeting break.
The Village ID-iots can still wear tutus.
Jill -- I know -- this song-finding thing has taken over my life for its own -- it's like a bacterial song infection. Walking down the street and ok, here comes another one:
There I was just a-walkin' down the street, Singing Do a ditty, ditty dumb ducky doo. Snapping my zingers and a-shufflin' to the beat, Singing Do lyme ditty, ditty dumb ticky doo.
The rest of it will arrive during my next walk...
MommaK -- I assign you the task of finding Elizabeth -- check with nursing homes in the Old Lyme area -- tell them it's urgent -- that we are seeking our lead singer since we're already thinking about booking our first engagement at the Limelight in Old Lyme for Positively Eliza and the Lymenuts. Ask if the nursing home can run her Lyme/co bloodtests for us.
Also, your explanations of benefits to be gained from singing our Lymenut songs could provide excellent endorsements on the covers of our CDs: Singing these songs promotes weightloss and improves health!

Carol,
I think we could put together a Lyme exercise VIDEO as an adjunct to the CD. Then we can sell it on late-night informercials (We Lymies have insomnia, we'd be watching!)
I lived in L.A. when Jane Fonda had her exercise studio there. We could open a chain of studios, proudly announcing 'No Pain, No Lyme" and wear our tutus to class.
And yes, I still have enough hair to blow-dry. But if my hormones and thyroid keep going down the current road, this may be a short-lived grooming exercise!

Here's the Beginning I'm-A-Lymenut Anaerobic Exercise Class Video for your ketes!
1) Let video just sit there.
2) If you have any energy left, stick it in the machine and watch however much you can handle. It depicts the life cycle of a kete, in real time.
3) Be sure to lie down the whole time.
4) Try not to breathe too much.
5) Fall asleep during the slow parts.
6) Say after me: 1,2,3,4; do we hear a little snore?
7) Wake up, don't sleep anymore -- you have insomnia, remember? if you can't remember, then forget about sleeping.
8) Say after me: 5,6,7,8; my energy, depreciate.
9) Repeat cycle.

I'm-A-Lymenut anaerobic exercise video for your ketes! This is too funny-but right on target. I have a suggestion though-to make it more rigorous I would suggest a rollover to keep circulation going, or perhaps a pillow squeeze once in a while.
Just a thought-that's mostly all I have these days-thoughts which very rarely make it into action.
Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :
Announcing the arrival of the I'm-A Lymenut Intermediate Anaerobic Exercise Class Video!
This intermediate anaerobic exercise video will help you to make slight efforts, but still maintain a reasonable anaerobic experience for your ketes.
This video begins with the division of a spirokete. (Remember, this is more advanced than the starter I'm-A-Lymenut Anaerobic Exercise Video, so you may want to work with the first one for the first couple weeks before attempting the intermediate video.)
PART ONE: Slight Repositioning
1) As our spirokete begins to divide, you may consider moving one of your limbs.
2) That's enough! You can relax now.
3) Let's try again. Consider that slight repositioning of all your limbs in order to (don't tell the ketes) improve circulation.
4) Stop! Take a five-minute break.
5) Ok, here we go! Choose direction of your choice, and roll, roll, ROLL -- you're on a roll -- you can do it!
6) Congratulations! You have achieved a slightly new position. Maintain new position as you watch the next kete growth on your video.
PART TWO: Pillow Squeeze
Requires an initial positioning with pillow between two limbs of your choice. If you have to make the effort to find and position your pillow, please wait at least ten minutes before starting Part Two.
1) As you watch your video's newly-divided spiroketes perform a slow push-off motion, think about squeezing your pillow.
2) Relax.
3) Ok, think again about squeezing that pillow. This time, say three times: "ATP pump, pumping up."
4) Upon completion of third statement, gently squeeze that pillow.
5) Relax.
6) Do steps 3-5 three times.
7) Very good. Now for the wind-down: say "Dump, dump, ATP pump" three times.
8) Take a well-deserved nap.

Bidding started at $00.00, went to $000.00, then $0000.00(which was retracted), then 12 zeroes, followed by a doubling to 24 zeroes, then a googleplex of zeroes hit the tickpot.

Announcing the I'm-a-Lymenut Advanced Anaerobics* Exercise Class Video!!! Featuring the Lymenuts song hit I*D*S*A by the Village IDiots and Cobweb!
You have already begun your anaerobics exercise program with your beginning anaerobics video, and contemplated and managed small motions with your intermediate anaerobics video.
The Advanced Anaerobics* video requires you to manage some quicker movements.
Since this is a more active anaerobics* video, we have chosen to fast-forward the motions of the ketes for your viewing expiration.
(*There is current debate about whether this video is an anaerobic or aerobic exercise program. Studies are underway at Duck U)
PART ONE:
You may either be in a reclining or upright position as you sing along with the verse lyrics:
Young man, there's a need to feel down I said, young man, there's a need to frown I said, young man, there's Lyme in the town There's no need to be happy.
Young man, there's no place you can go Where they won't take your dough You can ask any duck, and I'm sure you will find Many ways to avoid a diagnosis for Lyme.
It's no fun to deal with the...
Ok, here we go!!!
Upon hearing the I*D*S*A chorus, you may just watch this first time through.
For the "I", notice the anaerobics* instructor bringing their forearms together to form the "I".
Consider the motion to be akin to a vertical prayer position, and of course the prayer is that you can complete the rest of the motions.
For the "D", remember(don't forget, you are facing a kete audience) that the round part of the "D" goes to the left.
Hold that vertical right arm steady as you form the round "D" by keeping your fingertips together and swinging the elbow of your left arm out to the side.
The "S": this is the letter about which there is the most debate as to whether it crosses over into aerobic exercise. Take it easy, just in case.
Remember, we are making a backwards "S" for our kete audience. The "S" begins with the right hand motioning the top part of the "S" to the right.
When it comes to the curve turn, let the left hand pick up from there and complete the curve to the left.
The "A" -- last one! Bring fingertips together and raise both arms up to form the "A".
Very good! Don't forget to remember that this first time through was just an observation exercise. Take a break before starting Part Two.
PART TWO: The Anaerobic* I*D*S*A!
Here we go!
Sing along with the verse. When the chorus arrives, Prepare your arms for the coming forearm contact. When the chorus arrives,
1)"I" -- Forearms together! 2)"D" -- Keep finger tips together. Bring left arm elbow out to the side.
3)"S" -- Right arm scoops top "S" to the right and towards center. Left hand scoops rest of the "S" from right hand center out towards left and around to center.
4)"A" -- Bring your lefthand fingertips to right hand fingertips and raise both up.
Congratulations! You have just completed your first runthrough of your advanced anaerobics* I*D*S*A video!
You may rest, go blank, do whatever you need to do for your ketes' comfort. We encourage multiple viewings of your I'm-A-Lymenut Advanced Anaerobics* video for best results.
*don't forget -- there is not current agreement on whether this video is anaerobic or aerobic. Data is expected within the next ten years.

Robin, you go girl!
Is this the Village People singing *I*D*S*A*
or the Lymenuts? Do we get to dress up as the Cop and Fireman?
Yes, many theatres are interested in TICKS -- some want to wait for the movie, but first in line for production are the Lymes in Connecticut -- East Lyme, Old Lyme, etc. Pride of place, I guess!
Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :
Hi Vermont --
Yup, this is the Village People, with or without ticks.
You may dress in whatever garb allows you to perform at your anaerobic best.
Maybe we could get Lymemomtoo to start designing some costumes for TICKS! -- the cat-scratch chorus, etc.

SONG TWO OF TICKS THE MUSICAL
Song: Naming of Cats
NAMING OF LYME
The naming of a LYMIE is a difficult matter It isn't just one of your DUCK games You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter When I tell you LYME must have three different names
First of all, there's the name that the family use daily Such as CRAZY, WACKO, LAZY or DEPRESSED Such as HYPO or FAKER, BURNED OUT or STRESSED All of them sensible, everyday names
There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter Some for the gentlemen, some for the dames Such as BABS, ERLIC,BART, DEMENTED But all of them sensible everyday names
But I tell you a LYMIE needs a name that's particular A name that's peculiar, and more dignified Else how can he keep up his HEAD perpendicular Or spread out his ARMS, or cherish his PITY?
Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum Such as Munchousan, Quaxo or WEARDZO Such as BORRELLIA,or else BOREDOM Names that never belong to more than one LYMIE
But above and beyond there's still one name left over And that is the name that you never will guess The name that STEERE INHUMAN research can NEVER discover But ONLY himself knows, and will never confess
When you notice a LYMIE in profound meditation The reason, I tell you, is always the same: His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation Of NO thought Of NO thought Of NO thought Of his name ?????
His ineffable effable effanineffable Deep and inscrutable singular name

Song: Moments of Happiness
MOMENTS OF GRIEF The moments of GRIEF. . . We had the experience but missed the meaning And approach to the meaning restores the experience In a different form, beyond any meaning We can assign to GRIEF . . .
The past experience LOST in the FOG Is not the experience of one life only But of many generations - not forgetting Something that is probably quite ineffable
SUNLIGHT, turn your face AWAY FROM the SUNLIGHT Let your BRAIN FOG lead you Open up, enter in If you find there the meaning of what happiness is Then a new life will begin
SUNLIGHT, turn your face FROM the SUNLIGHT Let your BRAIN FOG lead you Open up, enter in If you find there the meaning of what DESPIRATION is Then YOUR new life will begin

Song: The Moments of Happiness Lyrics
The moments of happiness . . . We had some experiences but missed our lives And treatment in our lives restores the experience In a different form,in a different body, beyond any understanding We can assign to happiness . . .
The past experience revived in the meaning Is not the experience of one life only But of many thousands - not forgetting, Something that is probably quite ineffable
Sunlight, turn your face away from the sunlight Let your brain fog memory lead you Open up, pills in If you find that they finally work You will remember what happiness is Then a new life will begin

Hey -- what about some rounds? Just realized we don't have any polyphonic lymesongs yet. A tick tsk on that. And we are now at page 10. Lymenut-ten along...
A-10------SHUN! -- Needs remedy! -- I'll start it out:
(Frere Jacque) My lost brain cells, my lost brain cells Where'd they go? Where'd they go? Ketes have eaten neurons, I am now a moron Lymie blank, Lymie blank.
My lost body, my lost body Where'd it go? Where'd it go? Ketes have eaten brunch here, also eaten lunch here Din-din too, din-din too.
Ok, next one:
(Row, row, row your boat) Oh, oh, no -- a tick! I am gonna scream! Verily, verily, verily, verily This is not a dream.
Yo-yo like a toy I am out of steam. Barely, barely, barely, barely meds my life redeem.
(I have not brought my specs with me) I cannot sleep, I cannot see I havent got my sanity It's ticks that brought my Lyme to me.

Sorry, I realize this children's song sounds a bit morbid in this context, and I do not want to depress folks, we have enough to deal with already!
But Robin got me going here -- and it is interesting to note that this common children's rhyme and song dates back to the medieval plague itself (yes, that plague, the black death). Welcome to the new plague! But thanks to antibiotics and all the good remedies and support posted on lymenet, we have a much better outcome then the original plague!!

What do you get when you see a duck? You get enough ELISAs to catch pneumonia Then with denials he'll start to phone ya -- I'll never trust a duck again.
What do you get from your HMO? You only get lies, pain and trials That's what you get besides denials -- I'll never see a duck again.

Back when I had my health, it seems so long ago I never needed any help from my HMO But now these days are gone, and I'm not so sure Misdiagnosed, denied care, I hope I find a cure.
Help me if you can, I'm going down And I do appreciate you being 'round Help me turn my HMO around Won't you please, please help me!

Oh, dear, what can the matter be? Oh, dear, what can the matter be? Oh, dear, what can the matter be? ID docs, they're so unfair.
They promise to bring us a casket for Lyme/co's -- Some antibiotics for only few weeks goes too little, so that will set off all blue Lymies to pry up insurance fraud fare.
Oh dear, that's what the matter is Oh dear, that's what the matter is Oh dear, that's what the matter is On that we Lymies are clear.

Forever Young (Forever Cured)
May God bless and keep you always, May your wishes all come true, May you always do for others And let others do for you. May you build a ladder to the stars And climb on every rung, May you stay forever young, Forever cured, forever cured, May you stay forever cured.
May you grow up to be righteous, May you grow up to be true, May you always know the truth And see the lights surrounding you. May you always be courageous, Stand upright and be strong, May you stay forever young, Forever young, forever young, May you stay forever young.
May your hands always be busy, May your feet always be swift, May you have a strong foundation When the winds of changes shift. May your heart always be joyful, May your song always be sung, May you stay forever young,
Forever cured, forever cured, May you stay forever cured.

Dear Abby -- I have just found out that ketes have eaten my chakras and my plexi, essentially leaving me plexiless. I tried to locate my deepest stirrings but I stirred not. I tried to locate my balance point but tripped over it. I tried to communicate what I was going through but only garbled my words, as in I bargled it. I did manage in spite of everything to become one with my ketes, however, so I guess all is not lost. What advice do you have for me?
--Sans Krit
Posted by lymie tony z (Member # 5130) on :
Dear Sans krit,
Anyone who lets an unwelcome guest in and allows them to eat up their Chakra and plexi's needs better direction in their life.
Try not to trip over your lower lip when I tell you that becoming one with your chete's is not the best thing you can do...
In fact you should employ any and all means to rid yourself of same.
I know this advice isn't what you bargled for but it's the best I can do at this time...

Posted by stymielymie (Member # 10044) on :
dear robin, we've located your explexus, it on the Borg mother ship. it will be assimitated with the other explexus, on board. Resistance is futile, since Captain Wormser is in charge of explexuses or explexi. you have no chance of ever seeing it again.
wait here comes captain stricker to the rescue. but you have already been assimilated. tuff luck. maybe he can find your apaplexis or your neuronexis, stay tuned to the continuing life of lt. robin erlychiosis and her coinfections

When I saw William Shatner on his present TV series, I was shocked at his periorbital edema.
He has so much swelling around the eyes.
I have this too, but not to his extent. It can be caused by thyroid problems, probably triggered by Lyme. Or maybe some other hormone problem triggered by Lyme.
Just some thoughts. Carol

Can any of you arrange this? I would if I were on the East coast!! Calling on high school/college marching bands -- do it!! Make some fun noise!! And all wear your closest version of lyme-green clothing...
And while you're at it, pick out and xerox some of the other songs from the Lymenuts collection to sing too --
Put the kids out in front for the kids' songs. Have them prance around while everyone sings the versions. Kids dressed as ticks, spirochetes, etc. Put all the I'm a Little Teapot Lymenut versions together on a page. Here's another:

Really bad for a week and a half. Thought it would go away in time...it did'nt.
It's feeling better today. It may have been a herxy thing due to switching to a cephalosporin durring my usual monthly flare(usually hits me around 20th every month).
I just can't wait for my december flare...Usually December and June are my worst months...a six month cycle....which is always worse than my usual monthly cycle...

(Try to remember)
Try to remember -- don't think I remember -- Oh, life is slow and not so mellow. Try to remember -- don't think I remember -- When grass was green, a tick said "hello".
Try to remember -- don't think I remember -- When I was so tender to you, tick fellow. Try to remember -- I think my brain's ember Is fallow.
Deep in December, it's hard to remember Although you know this song lies fallow. Deep in December, it's hard to remember Because we hurt, the heart will wallow.
Deep in December, it's hard to remember The bite of tick member that made life jello. Deep in December, it's hard to remember -- I'm fallow.

And it's worth it just to SEE you GO, You're gonna give me NOTHING. So why on earth should I moan, 'Cos when I you LEAVE ME alone I know I WILL BE okay. When I'm home everything seems to be right. When I'm home HOLDING MY DOGS tight, tight, yeah. It's been a hard day's night And I've been HURTING like a dog. It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log. But when I get home to AN EMPTY HOUSE, I find the things that you DID BUT I Will EVENTUALLY feel alright. So why on earth should I moan, 'Cos when I AM ALL alone I know I'LL feel okay. When I'm home everything seems to be right. When I'm home holding MY DOGS tight, tight, yeah. It's been a hard day's night And I've been HURTING like a dog. AND I know I'LL feel alright.

Oy to the world, the ticks have come, let all receive their Lyme. Let ev'ry heart prepare for doom. To heaven with nature's zing, to heaven with nature's zing, to heaven, to heaven, with nature's zing.

Two days now since I've heard the ringing rhyming in my head. I try to turn them off but I hear every word that's said.
I really want to run away or cover up in bed, But either way I'm still with me, and that includes my head.
Always, there inside my brain, this side talks to that, Then one wants some quite time and the other wants to chat.
Usually they work together; often times they play, But when they spend it bickering, it wastes away the day.
Sometimes it's a benefit, two heads inside my hat; Then one gets mad, and demands to know `why did you say that!'

Thanks, folks, for posting this way and that way... And then my other voice says thx too!
By the way, that's no rewrite from Von -- that's an original little poem...
Then my other voice says: that's no rewrite from Von -- that's an original little poem
And then we got together on another cheery xmas lymesong:
You better watch out, We know you will cry, We know you will pout, We're telling you why: Infected ticks are coming to town.
They're hard to resist, You might get bit twice, They will bite you Whether naughty or nice: Infected ticks are coming to town.
They bite you when you're sleeping, They bite when you're awake, They bite, then you've been had for good -- Understood, you'll start to ache.
Oh, you better watch out, We know you will cry, We know you will pout, We're telling you why: Infected ticks are coming to town.

Ok, I started singing this first line tonight and worked my way through the song -- first pass:
(Matchmaker, matchmaker) Lymenutter, Lymenutter, make me a rhyme, rhyme it with Lyme -- crazy pastime. Lymenutter, Lymenutter, look at your hook and make me a per-Lyme rhyme.
Lymenutter, Lymenutter, is there a way to have your say, in a wordplay? Day after day we all go through the fray, no envy of all today.
Now Lymenut, make it a haha or Lymenut, with the truth make it ring. For me, well, I wouldn't care if I just found a way to escape this thing...
Rhymemaker, Lyme acher, rhyme me away Lymetime away, through your wordplay Night after night asking what rhymes with 'bite', we'll find a word match for this site.
Lymenutter, Lymenutter, we know that we're still very green, with ring in our ear. Now that we're in it, it's now understood that rhyming could be for good.
Dear Lymenut, though we are mental, remember, we're still here for the ride. We don't want to be ornamental - about Lyme I'd rather be bona fide.
Lymenutter, Lymenutter, scan me Lyme scans with our Lyme mush; maybe we've learned - Play with word matches: CD can get burned?
So find me the rhyme, distract me this time, sing me the crime, help me to climb out of this morass we're in!

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer Had a very tiny tick, And if you ever saw him, You would say that he was sick.
All of the other reindeer Used to laugh and have high aims. Now they can't fly away 'cause Sick with Lyme, they all are lame.
Then one bloggy christmas day Santa came to say: "Rudolph, with your tickbite blight, you can't drive my sleigh tonight."
Then all the other reindeer Shouted out in misery: "Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer, We are down, we're history."

Yes, a Grammy for Robin -- prolific song-writing creativity in a major disease category!
Or, we can call it the first annual Lymie award, or the Gram Negative Awards! With Stymie, master of ceremonies.
Robin, I hadn't answered your earlier question, am a bit beleaguered and sleep deprived this week -- I see that you have a brooklyn accent! That's how my family speaks -- you goils. Yes, girl here too. Probably only a girl would say "you go girl" to someone, but we will have to ask oprah on that!

President Bush went to a neurologist. She gave him an MRI and brain scan, and had to deliver the results and bad news to him directly:
She said, "Mr. President, we looked at the left side of your brain, and found there is nothing right."
"And then we looked at the right side of your brain -- and found there was nothing left!"
Sorry, not a song, but perhaps we can put it to music...

Ok, my magnus opus for today, and for this being the week of Chanuka, is the following song. Warning: this is not funny; it's a serious rewrite. It's dedicated to Lyme/co activism. Even if you're not Jewish, you can still sing it.(Drum roll: post number 400 in the CD hits site)
(Rock of Ages)
1)Shock and rages: let our song raise our altering power. In our midst a ranging foe, its bite built to devour.
Impervious, ticks assail us, but alarm avails us, and our words provoke discord when our own strength ails us.
And our words provoke discord when our own strength ails us.
2)Children -- not a martyred race. Better free than fettered. Take the echoes of this song where ye may be shattered.
Ours the message veering towards a time to be nearing which will see all then free, tickbites disappearing.
Which will see all then free, tickbites disappearing.
3)Dwindling now the ignorance. We disapprove of suffering. You're a guide to nations cryin'. Ought to prod with this offering.
Ticks, their torts surrounding, coinfections abounding. Unhappy throngs, righting wrongs with a mighty hounding.
Unhappy throngs, righting wrongs with a mighty hounding.

tony, great Christmas songs!! I can just picture Bing Crosby's rendition of "I'll Be Ill for Christmas."
Some classics are perfect as they are:
If I Only Had .... a Brain
I could while away the hours Conferrin' with the flowers Consultin' with the rain And my head, I'd be scratchin' While my thoughts were busy hatchin' If I only had a brain.
I'd unravel every riddle For any individ'le In trouble or in pain
With the thoughts you'd be thinkin' You could be another Lincoln, If you only had a brain.
Oh, I could tell you why The ocean's near the shore, I could think of things I never thunk before And then I'd sit and think some more.
I would not be just a nuffin' My head all full of stuffin' My heart all full of pain. I would dance and be merry Life would be a ding-a-derry If I only had a brain--Whoa!

OK guys, I am setting up the karaoke machine in Times Square for New Years Eve -- and I expect you all to be there to sing the Lymenuts Greatest Hits to usher in 2007!

Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :
Yes, winter solstice today! I don't know any winter solstice songs. I did write one, tho, many years ago, a winter chant, that we all danced to, one circle inside another, singing to each other going in opposite directions, so rather hypnotic:
"We're in the darkness, we're in the light, we're in the turning of the night." I wanted something for the solstice! That's one way to handle it -- write your own...
Great rewrite, TonyZ! And Vermont, thx for reminding us about the lack of a brain song -- perfect as is.
(Jolly old St Nicholas)
Golly, if it ain't a tick; Seen you near today. Don't you bite a single soul; this is what we say:
You must leave us very soon; we must make a plan. This for what you'll bring to us: we'll fell you if we can.

Nothing says that holiday spirit like 19th century Baltimore!
The IDSA
(with apologies to EA Poe)
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. `'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door - Only this, and nothing more.'
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December, And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. Eagerly I wished the morrow; - vainly I had sought to borrow From my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost Lenore - For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels named Lenore - Claimed by Lyme for evermore.
And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain Thrilled me - filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before; So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating `'Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door - Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door; - This it is, and nothing more,'
Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer, `Sir,' said I, `or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore; But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping, And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door, That I scarce was sure I heard you' - here I opened wide the door; - Darkness there, and nothing more.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before But the silence was unbroken, and the darkness gave no token, And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, `Lenore!' This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, `Lenore!' Merely this and nothing more.
Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning, Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before. `Surely,' said I, `surely that is something at my window lattice; Let me see then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore - Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore; - 'Tis the wind and nothing more!'
Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter, In there stepped a stately Wormser of the saintly days of yore. Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he; But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door - Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door - Perched, and sat, and nothing more.
Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling, By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore, `Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,' I said, `art sure no craven. Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the nightly shore - Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!' Quoth the IDSA, `Nevermore.'
Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly, Though its answer little meaning - little relevancy bore; For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being Ever yet was blessed with seeing duck above his chamber door - Bird or beast above the sculptured bust above his chamber door, With such goal as `Nevermore.'
But the doctor, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only, That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour. Nothing further then he uttered - not a feather then he fluttered - Till I scarcely more than muttered `Other friends have flown before - On the morrow will he leave me, as my hopes have flown before.' Then the IDSA said, `Nevermore.'
Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken, `Doubtless,' said I, `what it utters is its only stock and store, Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful disaster Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden bore - Till the dirges of his hope that melancholy burden bore Of "Never-nevermore."'
But the doctor still beguiling all my sad soul into smiling, Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird and bust and door; Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore - What this grim, ungainly, gaunt, and ominous bird of yore Meant in croaking `Nevermore.'
This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom's core; This and more I sat divining, with my head at ease reclining On the cushion's velvet lining that the lamp-light gloated o'er, But whose velvet violet lining with the lamp-light gloating o'er, She shall press, ah, nevermore!
Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer Swung by Seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor. `Wretch,' I cried, `thy God hath lent thee - by these angels he has sent thee Respite - respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore! Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe, and forget this lost Lenore!' Quoth the IDSA, `Nevermore.'
`Prophet!' said I, `thing of evil! - prophet still, if bird or devil! - Whether tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore, Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted - On this home by horror haunted - tell me truly, I implore - Is there - is there balm in Gilead? - tell me - tell me, I implore!' Quoth the IDSA, `Nevermore.'
`Prophet!' said I, `thing of evil! - prophet still, if bird or devil! By that Heaven that bends above us - by that God we both adore - Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn, It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels named Lenore - Clasp a rare and radiant maiden, whom the angels named Lenore?' Quoth the IDSA, `Nevermore.'
`Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!' I shrieked upstarting - `Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore! Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken! Leave my loneliness unbroken! - quit the bust above my door! Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!' Quoth the IDSA, `Nevermore.'
And the doctor, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door; And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming, And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor; And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor Shall be lifted - nevermore!

You Can Get Better If You Really Want
(Apologies to Jimmy Cliff)
You can get better if you really want it You can get better if you really want You can get better if you really want But you must try, try and try Try and try, you'll succeed at last
Persecution you must bear Win or lose you've got to get your share Got your mind set on a dream You can get it, though harder them seem now
You can get it if you really want You can get it if you really want You can get it if you really want But you must try, try and try Try and try, you'll succeed at last I know it, listen
Rome was not built in a day Opposition will come your way But the hotter the battle you see It's the sweeter the victory, now
You can get it if you really want You can get it if you really want You can get it if you really want But you must try, try and try Try and try, you'll succeed at last
You can get better if you really want - I know it You can get better if you really want - though I show it You can get better if you really want - so don't give up now!
Wish me luck please!
My life is a bit of a high-wire act for the next month...
Happy new year, y'all!
Great songfest, docdave and Robin!

Doc Davey, forget the reality show -- unless it is SURVIVOR: Lyme Island, with Team A on abx and Team B foraging for cats claw and cumanda from the rain forest. That would educate the public!

New Year's challenges -- Vermont_Lymie near end of preceding page(pg 12), rewrote Edgar Allen Poe's Nevermore poem for Lyme. This will dignify our course on Lyme/co's in poetry and song.
Next: Lyme/co lit with rewrites for Hamlet, Macbeth, Laura in Glass Menagerie, Tess of the Durbervilles, Antigone, No Exit, Waiting for Godot(Waiting for a cure), etc.
Also, Vermont suggested a Survivor game challenge: one team on abx, the other forages for cures in the rain forest. Any more Survivor ideas?

Hi Robin,
Am waiting for the all-star IDSA vs. ILADS Survivor; which I guess will be a contest of scholarship and rhetoric, and we know who is gonna win that contest!!
Thanks to you and all my lymenut, oh, lymenet friends for making me laugh in 2006...
Who knew lyme disease could be -- funny?
Often frustrating, yes. Too often frightening and painful, stressful, impoverishing, confusing and difficult. Agonizing even while being educational. Our lives and health are in the balance while these larger political decisions on our treatment are being fought out within the board rooms and hallways of insurance companies and government agencies.
But you guys made lyme funny for me while starting what looks to be a long long-haul tx and for that I am grateful!
Happy 2007 and best wishes for everyones good health! Posted by Vermont_Lymie (Member # 9780) on :
This one is for James Brown -- with thanks for all that funk!
Actually Sinatra wrote the lyrics but Brown does the kick-butt version of it:
That's Life
That's life, that's what all the people say. You're riding high in April, Shot down in May But I know I'm gonna change that tune, When I'm back on top, back on top in June.
I said that's life, and as funny as it may seem Some people get their kicks, Stompin' on a dream But I don't let it, let it get me down, 'Cause this fine ol' world it keeps spinning around
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, A poet, a pawn and a king. I've been up and down and over and out And I know one thing: Each time I find myself, flat on my face, I pick myself up and get back in the race.
That's life I tell ya, I can't deny it, I thought of quitting baby, But my heart just ain't gonna buy it. And if I didn't think it was worth one single try, I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, A poet, a pawn and a king. I've been up and down and over and out And I know one thing: Each time I find myself laying flat on my face, I just pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life That's life and I can't deny it Many times I thought of cutting out But my heart won't buy it But if there's nothing shakin' come this here july I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die My, My
Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :
Right...let's hear it for Frank Sinatra and James Brown...
Who knew Lyme could be funny? Maybe Stymie? Thx for the fun here, all.
I watched the Kennedy Center arts honors program this past week, honoring Smoky Robinson, Dolly Parton, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Steven Spielberg and Zubin Mehta. I couldn't help singing along to many of their songs with our Lyme lyrics!! 9 to 5 could be rewritten as "Long to Thrive"...
Maybe Jill will start her book The Lighter Side of Lyme, as debuted in Tincup's off-the-ladder post.
Vermont, go ahead and design us the challenges fot the IDSA vs ILADS Survivor show.
I'm also upping this site today for 2 Auld Lang Sang rewrites: Stymie's on pg 12, 2/3 of the way down, and mine top of pg 13 following Tony's discussion of Stymie's proboscis in his yap...
Posted by Jill E. (Member # 9121) on :
I love the idea of the IDSA vs. ILADS version of Survivor!
They can hold it in Lyme, Connecticut. Naturally, most of the contestants will be bitten by ticks.
The IDSA ducks will give themselves one low-dose Doxycycline each (if, and only if, there a positive ELISA and bulls-eye rash, of course) and pronounce themselves cured.
Meanwhile, the ILADS doctors will already have themselves on 400 mg. Doxycycline or a similar appropriate regimen. And after the appropriate time, will do the Western Blot, test for coinfections, look for non-bullseye rashes, etc.
The IDSA ducks, due to their increasing arthritis and hallucinations, will get voted off the show as the losing tribe.
This, of course, they will chalk it up to post-Survivor fibromyalgia.
Hey, Robin, I'd love to write another book (I'm a published author but it's been a few years). But if I or anyone did the Lighter Side of Lyme, those IDSA ducks would just twist it as evidence that Lyme is really no big deal!!
Jill
Posted by Vermont_Lymie (Member # 9780) on :
Jill -- too cool!
I guess that is their Immunity Challenge!
Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :
Great start for the show, Jill! Now what's the idol that grants immunity? And how is it achieved?
Well then, maybe you'll have to publish the Darker Side of Lyme, since most of us haven't been able to look at light. Just throw some dark humor in and you'll be fine. Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :
So does anybody want to do the creative LymeArts thing anymore? I believe we are up to 17 Lymenut hit song CDs, several Lymenut touring groups, a couple musicals, two operas, one ballet, 3 anaerobic videos,
a googled-out fundraiser for the ducks(bidding either open or closed -- haven't figured out which), Lyme in poetry and literature, Steere Trek or Star Tick episodes, Lyme Survivor show ideas, and...the rest is up to you's all.
How about a Lyme Jeopardy game? Ticks for 200...
I think it would be elegant to get some more Lyme lit going. Titles, rewrites, whatever. Like Moby Tick, All's Ill that Ends Ill, A Midsummer Bite's Dream, Tick and Jane, Tickleberry Finn...And anymore songs is always welcome...

Well, it has been a while now since we have given full vent to the full uncensored creative force of the lymenuts!
robin, as lymenut executive producer, you are going to have to franchise the whole thing, develop a logo, and get some big company to buy us out. Then we can fund the treatment house for lymies that tonyz suggested. (whatever happened to tony?)
Anyway, was just listening to john lennon -- he was the man!
Picture, a woman singing this to her brain:
Here in some stranger's room, Late in the afternoon, What am I doing here at all? Ain't no doubt about it, I'm losing you,
Somehow the wires have crossed, Communication's lost, Can't even get you on the telephone, Just got to shout about it, I'm losing you,
Here in the valley of indecision, I don't know what to do, I feel you sliping away, I feel you sliping away, I'm losing you, I'm losing you,
You say your not getting enough, But I remind you of all that bad stuff, So what the hell am I supposed to do? Just put a bandaid on it? And stop the bleeding now, Stop the bleeding now,
I know I hurt you then, But that was way back when, And well, do you still have to carry that cross? Don't want to hear about it, I'm losing you, I'm losing you.
Of course, he was singing that for yoko -- but tonight, I am singing that for my brain! I am sure that rock and roll is going to be one of the things that cures me Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :
Hey Vermont -- you are hereby anointed a Lymenut Creative Director...You have the distinction of being the first Lymenut of the new year to remind us of how great American song can reveal our common predicament. I think your lost brain might also sing:
Give me the people who free my soul I wanna get lost in your rock'nroll
We are now franchised as Lymenuts Dys-Inc. Referring to the dysfunctional nature of our collective Lyme/co corpi.
Our logo can be found on our first page near the bottom -- Imanurse's cover for our first Lymenuts CD, with its image of a lime plus some nuts plus some ketes -- sez it all.
We are currently considering the possibility of locating some Big Companies to sponsor the Lymenuts, with proceeds going towards lymietonyz's lifelong dream of a free lymie treatment center. Site location volunteers needed. Speaking of which, where is the zman anywho?
In honor of the full(fool) uncensored creative force of the Lymenuts, we are now initiating the Lymenuts Jeopardy game.
Categories will be unveiled as they become available. I as your hostess will initiate the first category, which is "Ticks". Anyone who wishes to create a category with Q's and A's can pm me and we can run it.
Points: 200/400/600/800/1000. The first person to post the desired answer gets the points, to be applied to frequent flyer miles to the lymietonyz lymie treatment center, wherever it turns out to be. Unclaimed points may be shared amongst those who feel they or someone they know could benefit from going to the lymie treatment center.
Are you r-e--a---d----y?????
Tonight's question is:
TICKS FOR 200:
What kind of ticks would you expect to find on happy cows?(this is a California kind of question, unless any other state also advertises happy cows -- let me know)

OMG -- remember that song "happy talk" from South Pacific?
Happy ticks keep talking happy ticks, Talk about things they'd rather bite.
(have to find the rest of lyrics)
The tonyz lyme rehabilitation center -- please make this on a nice beach somewhere!
Posted by MagicAcorn (Member # 8786) on :
Robin123 oooh oooh oooh I know the answer.
They're Moooooooooooooooving! Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :
I thank our first two Lymenut Jeopardy contestants for your par-tic-ipation!
Yes, "happy ticks" would be found on happy cows.
However, I also will accept "mooooooving ticks" on happy cows.
So you both are awarded 200 points, to be applied towards your future stay at tonyz's lymie treatment center.
A third possibility was: cheese ticks. I will donate those 200 points to someone needing future lymie treatment center care.
Vermont, your bonus prize: google lyrics for "Happy Talk" and complete the song. My goodness, we're barely out of the starting gate and we already have a song for an answer.
Magic Acorn, thx for the first Big Logo for the Lymenuts Jeopardy game. Future ones also welcomed...I think your logo could be also suggestive for a tangential answer of "hippie ticks"?
Evolving right along...Vermont has suggested a beach location for the center. Since tonyz lives in Florida, I suggest the beachfront property be somewhere in the SE US.
If we were willing to switch the "lymie" and "treatment" around to Treatment for Lymies Center, we could call it the TLC...
Ok, onto our next question in the Lymenuts Jeopardy game, category "Ticks":

Since you're in San Francisco, perhaps you could take MagicAcorn's psychedelic logo and put up posters in Haight-Ashbury. It will be a big flashback to the 60s!

Thanks, Robin, for being a great Alex T.
How long a stay will $1,000 pay for at Tony Z's TBD Center? And since it's in Florida, should we avoid any treatments with Doxycycline? (I burned horribly on it in Southern California, so Florida would be probably be worse!)
Jill
Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :
Thx for playing, Jill!
Tonyz proposed a free lymie treatment center, so your 1000 can go towards transportation. One of us does need to win the lottery...
Maybe a beach in the SE is not such a good idea --maybe a more northern beach could be a little more temperate?
We could have a TLC here if it were Treatment for Lymies Center or Tonyz's Lymie Center. But the zman hasn't awoken out of hibernation to give us his humble opinion...

Let's see, could it be, What is sub-lyme (sublime) Alex ?
Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :
Yep, Micul got it. 200 points for Micul!
You would hopefully be feeling sublyme if you had your Lyme symptoms under wraps. Needs an ICD code.
Ok, are you r-e--a---d----y?????
LYME FOR 400:
Eagles lymie rock song...
Do do do do do do do (Ok, you do the rest)
Posted by micul (Member # 6314) on :
Thanks Robin for that $200 gift !
Next question, what is "Lyme Eyes" Posted by Jill E. (Member # 9121) on :
Well, I know that Micul is correct for Lyme Eyes...and I know the topic is now Lyme (thanks Robin for finally getting that through my thick brain fog!!)...
..but I will add an Eagles Song/Lyme tangent...
When I'm very symptomatic, I'm quite like the Eagles song of "Witchy Woman!!"
And if we open a West Coast branch of Tony Z's TLC, it could be held in the Hotel California! (OK, I'm on Eagles overdose now)
Jill
Posted by micul (Member # 6314) on :
Thanks Jilly for your vote of confidence, but you never know which way Rockin Robin is gonna go!
So hang tight cuz Hotel Lymafornia might get you some points too?
Robin may not be back tonight. I heard something about Doc Dave maybe picking her up in his Lear Jet...... Robin was anxious to get a closer look at his Cavalier Spaniel Trio. Thank goodness the Real Jeopardy comes on in about an hour ! Posted by Jill E. (Member # 9121) on :
Wait a minute, our beloved Robin isn't allowed to go have a social life on a Friday night, leaving us stranded in cyberspace!!
I've got plenty of frequent flyer mileage I haven't felt well enough to use. Let's go!
Party at DocDave's!!
Jill
Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :
This is as interesting for me as it is for you to see who comes up with what...
No lyin' about it, Micul came up with Lyme Eyes, so 400 is yours.
My answer was: Take it to the Lymet.
lol Jill on witchy woman feelings. Mine's usually more like Itchy Woman. Hey, a Lymenuts rewrite there?
Hotel Lymafornia/California -- we got lots of those here. You know who put a great rewrite on here in the beginning who we haven't heard from since is Texas Chaos with her Hotel Duckville rewrite. I call it Hotel Call it Duckville, in honor of the original...
Yeah, DocDave flew out here tonite with his dogs, met Cave and me, and flew back. Next time we'll all meet at Dave's with our frequent flyer points from here...
Ok, onward and upward...
Are you r-e--a---d----y?????
LYME FOR 600:
A Lyme complaint.
Do... Do... Do... Dump.... (theme shorthand)
Posted by micul (Member # 6314) on :
Morning there Robin !
Take it to the Lymet huh? I didn't think of that one. I thought about using "Lyme In The Fast Lane" tho as a second choice.
Now, a lyme complaint? Could be sooo many things, but I think that I will go with the one that you seem to have, since you are posting at these nocturnal hours.
So my answer is: "What is Lymesomnia" Posted by stymielymie (Member # 10044) on :
that was 4 cavaliers i brought out, remember the red one is also a cavalier.
next time i'll pick everyone up and fly us to calgary for dinner and rodeo
lets see my answer:
what is lyme rage, fog, depression, fibro, lyme cfs. what is lymeliciuos, taste of food and meds. what is lymebedo? what is candalymisis?
jet setter Posted by Jill E. (Member # 9121) on :
May I ask our dear hostess/moderator for a clarification? (Yes, I just keep breaking these Jeopardy rules, left and right).
Is it a Lyme complaint as in symptom?
Or is it another word for complaint?
Or am I asking way too many question?
I was thinking Lyme-ent as in Lament, which is a synonym for complaint, but that's sounding like I'm overthinking.
OK, back into Rifampin brain fog land.
In the meantime, I'm packing my bags for our group rendezvous in Canada for the rodeo.
Jill
Posted by micul (Member # 6314) on :
Hey, What's the Deal Jeal? Is this a chick trick?
No funny biness now!
Posted by Jill E. (Member # 9121) on :
Sorry - not trying to break or bend the rules. No chick tricks here!
I'm just way too brain fogged to be participating in Jeopardy today, so I am bowing out for a bit.
How on earth does anyone tolerate Rifampin?
Jill
Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :
Jill -- don't give up too easily -- A Lyme complaint is a lyment/lyme-ent, as you put it, for lament. 600 smackers for Jill.
I understand tho that there was understandable lymie confusion about did I, ILikes Trytick, mean a word or a symptom.
So with all due consideration, I will award half points of 300 points each to Micul and Stymie for new Lyme symptom terminology:
lymesomniac lymelicious lymebedo candilymasis
Either of you may wish to start new support groups for these conditions, like for instance, Lymesomniacs Lymonymous(say that three times and what's left of your brain will not be right). But I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.
Jill, sorry -- haven't encountered the rifampin monster myself -- would you need to post a Lymenet thread on it?
Hey, if we're going to have a Canadian rodeo meet, let CanLyme know...You can make a rez with Lymerican Airlymes, or Stymie has offered free pick-up in his Lear jet. You have to be ok with dogs.
Ok -- steering us on --
Next Lyme Jeopardy question...
Are you r-e--a---d----y?????
LYME FOR 800:
Game show in which contestants attempt to guess the identity of a Lyme strain
Do do do ...
Posted by micul (Member # 6314) on :
What's My Lyme
Posted by Jill E. (Member # 9121) on :
Hi everyone,
I'm back, went on a slow walk trying to oxygenate my Lyme brain. Some neighbors know I'm sick, some don't, so I'm sure my staggering around the neighborhood will have them all gossiping that I'm some party animal. Good, my social life needs a little gossip!
I can't believe that Lyme-ent was correct. Maybe Rifampin is making me smarter!
Micul, I'm sure you've got the right answer so congratulations in advance.
I love the idea of AirLymes. Can you imagine a bunch of Lyme patients on one plane? Most of us wouldn't remember where we were going, unless we looked on our tick-et (picking up from our previous Jeopardy game).
Jill

Micul got it -- 800 for Micul. You're doing very well in this Jeopardy round...no strain here...
Hm, Stymie's answers...we're spinning and spinning...we could have a wheel of misfortune...
Jill, if lymies on a plane couldn't remember their destination, could you say they had a bad case of plane fog?
badda bom
Ok, final Lyme Jeopardy question:
Are you r-e--a---d----y?????
LYME FOR 1000:
Legal restriction on a Lyme lawsuit?
Posted by Jill E. (Member # 9121) on :
What is...
Statute of Lyme-itations?
Jill
Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :
Ok, Jill takes it for 1000.
Scoring for the 2nd Lymenuts Jeopardy game, category Lyme:
Stymie: 300(1/2 600)
Jill: 600 + 1000 = 1600
Micul: 200 + 400 + 300(1/2 600) + 800 = 1700
Congrats everyone -- let me know what you want to do with your loot...
And now for a bonus Lyme question, by which you can double your score, this one inspired by Micul's Lymafornia comment earlier:
Name 10 US Lyme states. You have many seconds. Posted by micul (Member # 6314) on :
What is, "Lymeoming, Oklymehoma, Lymeuisiana, North Carolyma, South Carolyma, Marylyme, Pennsylymia, Calymefornia, Llyminois, Allymebama, and # 11 as a back up is Alymska. Posted by Vermont_Lymie (Member # 9780) on :
Herxensaw; New Herxsey; New Herxshire; Paine; Babexas; Borrelifornia; Oregono (if herbs count)

Well, it doesn't have Lyme in it, but how about an overall State of Confusion?
Jill
Posted by trueblue (Member # 7348) on :
Since you're on states and at a station break...
A late addition to the Lymenuts CD and available as an additional annoyance if you purchase now...
(I promised Robin I would post the lyrics to the tune of "Deep in the Heart of Texas" (done sometime ago and edited by the lovely and talented Cave). I have been too self conscious to post it for a few months. )
Deep in the heart of Tickville
The ticks in sight; make me up tight, (ick ick ick ick) Deep in the heart of Tickville They climb up you and stick like glue (ick ick ick ick) Deep in the heart of Tickville Their guts they spew right into you (ick ick ick ick) Deep in the heart of Tickville Once they've bit you feel like **** (ugh ugh ugh ugh) Deep in the heart of Tickville There is no cure so you must indure (blech blech blech blech) Deep in the heart of Tickville You take your meds and it hurts your head (ouch ouch ouch ouch) Deep in the heart of Tickville Will it ever end; can't say my friend (groan groan groan groan) Deep in the heart of Tickville The infected cry; oh why oh why (moan moan moan moan) Deep in the heart of Tickville
Now back to our show already in progress...
Posted by Jill E. (Member # 9121) on :
Trueblue, what a wonderful song! I had never thought about it until I saw your lyrics, but tick does contain the word "ick" - how appropriate!
One more idea for the state game:
HaLymeii
Micul already posted Lymeinois - but that state has a double whammy because Illinois already has the word "ill" in it!
Here in California, Arnold S. already has such a hard time with the real name of the state, I doubt he will ever be able to pronounce CaLymefornia.
Jill
Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :
Oh, fellow Lymenuts, you have outdone yourselves...
Micul doubles his Lyme Jeopardy score to 3400! Oh, maybe 3500 for Alymska. Be sure and visit his 10 + 1 Lyme states on the previous page...
lol Vermont -- Borrelifornia has a lovely ring to it...And would True's song become Deep in the Heart of Babexas?
True -- love the song -- thx for getting it to us! You can lead the way on the CD...
Jill -- Yeah, United States of Confusion, or Contusion, possibly, concerning our collective strange states of mind and bod...
Now, could we say we're Illinlymeinois?(that's a double whammy infection)
CaLymefornia is probably too difficult for Arnold, and also a lot of us...
Methinks we'll have to do something further with the states since they're so amusing...this could get really interesting if we start identifying ourselves from states like these in this our United States of Lymerica...
Quick, your favorite 5 tick states...I'll start us off with Tick-sas!
Posted by micul (Member # 6314) on :
Whew! It's good to have a little breathing room.

Robin,
Great job compiling all of this. Aren't you proud to live in a state with so many TBD-oriented names?
Jill
Posted by Vermont_Lymie (Member # 9780) on :
Robin
That's a great list
Now that tick borne disease has covered the USA, we have to move out to the cosmos, or the uniherxse.
Wasn't TBD a European import originally, anyway?
Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :
Thx, Jill, as one Calymefornian to another...Thx for your inputicks to the listick...
Hah, Vermont -- maybe not the cosmos just yet -- we have...the world to cover. Whee. Those travelin' ticks with their passporticks.
Now for some worldwide anticks...
This is where I've seen/heard mentioned so far. Please fill us in with more info if you have it.
CANADA: can name the provinces too S. AMERICA: I have seen/heard mention for Peru, Brazil, Argentina. (Including agricultural workers affected).
EUROPE: All over, from Scandinavia on down.
AFRICA: Tunisia, Ethiopia, Sudan, Togo, Mali, Mauritania, Senegal, Kenya, Tanzania
ALL ACROSS EURASIA: (looks like a band going across, in maps) Starts with Turkey and goes across. All of old Russia. Through China, Japan, Viet Nam, Taiwan
AUSTRALIA
You can do a search for the country and Lyme disease -- some have other coinfections going on strongly.
I recently looked at Lymenet International, plus googled for Lyme worldwide. If you can read other languages, go to. I think some of the same things are being said.
BON JOUR ET BON CHANCE AUX LYMENUTS!!

Very good, Vermont! This song is easily sung! The micekateers with Lyme? A new mascotick! Our top world song so far?
Other possible world songs: I'd like to teach the world to sing, I've got the world on a string
Fortuitously, CaliforniaLyme posted some info today on Catalyst's current thread about the Western fence lizard.
CaliforniaLyme sez -- get this -- the European blackbird also repels the spirochetes when bitten. So, being that we've gone international, I have a song for the European blackbird:
Blackbird singing through the dread tick bite Break our yoke and sing just how ketes die All our lives we've been only waiting For this knowledge to arise.
Blackbird, winging through the dread tick bite Take our funk and sighs and help us be. All our lives we've been only waiting For this knowledge to be free.
Blackbird, why? Blackbird, why from a tick bite, you can stop ketes' blight?

I'll go anywhere they offer Coach leather accessories. But the white jacket? Really, it's a fashion no-no at this time of year (unless it's officially "winter white" as the fashionistas say).
If the mentickal hospital serves gluten-free food, I'm there. I'm too tired to cook.

World songs, hmmm...I sense a Michael Jackson comeback as we rewrite the lyrics to "We are the World."
Perhaps it could be "We are the ticks" written from the tick's perspective, or "We are the world" written from the perspective of a global epidemic.
I will ruminate on it. At the moment I have a project to do, am late on the deadline, because I've been working 'til midnight the last two nights on a different rush project.

Well, I posted a song today at another thread, and by Lymenuts rules, all songs must also be entered at their proper nutty resting place, which is here...
fightfirewithwater went to town on Tincup's slogan request thread, with lots and lots of adjectives for the IDSA, which go see. So you all can make string combos, kinda like little IDSA amino acid chains.

Robin,
I am being treated for this thoracic discomfort now. The mean doctor gives me a shot and I jump.
So for $200.00 smackaroons
WHAT IS TICKS! As in the involuntary muscular kind.
Posted by Jill E. (Member # 9121) on :
Hmm, I haven't quite figured out this Jeopardy question because I presume it has to have the word "nut" in it.
I was thinking at first that a Lyme patient with a thoracic disorder was... Ticklash (as in Whiplash) Pain in the Neck (we've all been called that!) but I'll keep working on the nut angle.
MagicAcorn, keep those squirrel photos coming! If I ever get a digital camera and can figure out how to upload photos (I'm so technologically challenged) I'll have to show you my huge collection of squirrel figurines and photos (They used to call me the Squirrel Lady in Los Angeles because I fed all the squirrels.)
Also, one of my L.A. friends who knows I love squirrels told me that Fendi has created a squirrel-motif purse that is being sold at Neiman-Marcus for $3,500 or a signed one at Sak's for $6,000.
I don't buy purses with that many zeroes after them. But I looked it up on the Internet and there are entire blogs about this purse! It's a Fendi Spy Denim Tokyo Squirrel purse.
Perhaps DocDave will buy us each one to wear with our straight jackets! I liked the photos of the Magic Straight Jacket because it has leather trim that makes it look kind of like a Chanel jacket.
However, they describe it has "cotton duck" and you know how we stay away from ducks!

now do your four want to have seperate rooms, not recommended. we have a deal at the mentick hospitickal we have a suite 2 per room with a common bath.
need your medicare info to order the rooms.
will this be a long term stay, or are you planning to turn normal; within the next year.
nah; long term, better rates. if we hurry we can get you in by dinner.

Well, the knockoff purse is much closer to my price range. However, it does not look anything like the original.
Perhaps I can make a quick trip over the border to Tijuana to see what knockoffs they have - and I can pick up some Mexican Bicillin for anyone who needs it.
DocDave, I prefer to have my own room at the Mentickal Hospital, however maybe we can all have adjoining rooms so we can party together when that 3:00 a.m. Lymesomnia hits (without disturbing the other patients). However, MagicAcorn and I need rooms with patios so we can feed the squirrels.
