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? [Big Grin]

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.

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. [bow]

How on earth does anyone tolerate Rifampin?

[woohoo] 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????? [Razz]

LYME FOR 800: [confused]

Game show in which contestants attempt to guess the identity of a Lyme strain

Do do do ...

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????? [Eek!]

LYME FOR 1000: [confused]

Legal restriction on a Lyme lawsuit?

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. [loco] [confused]

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. [Roll Eyes] )


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...

more light, more love
more truth and more innovation

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.

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!

Now that Ehrlichia is also being called Anaplasma, I've noticed an outbreak in certain states:
Indianaplasma
Montanasplasma
Alabamanasplasma

A couple of states must already be hotbeds of coinfections based on their names:
Co-lorado
District of Co-lumbia
Co-nnecticut
New Mexi-Co

And here is a smattering of other coinfections:
Rickettsia Island
Puerto Rickettsia (OK, not a state, but a commonwealth)
New Ehrlixico

Robin [lol]

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?

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!!

Well, here's one right off the bat...

Antar-tick-a (although perhaps it would freeze the ticks before they could do any damage!)

It's a lyme world, after all,
It's a lyme world, after all,
It's a lyme, lyme world!

it's a world of laughter, a world of tears
its a world of ticks, its a world of fear
theres so much that we share
that its time we're aware
its a lyme world after all

CHORUS:
its a lyme world after all
its a lyme world after all
its a lyme world after all
its a lyme, lyme world

There is just one moon and one golden sun
And a tick means illness for everyone.
Though the mountains divide
And the oceans are wide
It's a lyme lyme world

Bravo, Vermont Lymie,

Those are great lyrics! You should sell them to Disneyland/Disneyworld for a ton of money.

Maybe they will hire a new mascot...

Oh, Stymie, we are the Lymenuts, we're supposed to be nuts, sez Elizabeth Tashjian, our noble predecessor from Lyme CT.

Thx Jill for the continentick. It's so cold there, we might have to importick them there...

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.

Dave,

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.

(Don't tell my LLMD that I've been chugging the Starbucks to stay awake to work late. He would be ticked off, as they say.)

Thanks Jill! And lol -- that Mouse probably is
Ticky,

Which is why his companion is Minocycline Mouse...

Dear DD -- oh no, we are having a sanity outbreak
here! No padded cell for us, though I'll take
the Coach accessories...

Who other than lymenuts can see the humor in tick-

DocDave,

If you keep insisting we are nuts, one of us will rewrite the lyrics to Patsy Cline's/Willie Nelson's "Crazy."

See? You're just encouraging us!

And soon, MagicAcorn will post with a photo of a squirrel with nuts.

There's no stopping the madness!

Jill

Oh, Magic, you have definitely lived up to your name tonite -- that is the biggest squirrel I've seen online yet!

And just for that, you all get another LymeNUTS Jeopardy game, category: NUTS! Dedicated to StymieLymie and his back-up band, the FranklyTicked and the Frankensquirrel.

R-e--a---d----y or nut, h-e--r---e it comes!

NUTS! for 200: [loco]

Lymenut with thoracic discomfort [confused]

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.

So I gave him a Doe A Deer song, using his suggested vocab:

I, oh dear, Injurious here
D, Dissembling Damaging Docs
S, they're Simply Stonewalling
A, it's Awful and A bomb

I-DSA guidelines -- NOT
'cause no Lyme/co's can be caught
Only ILADS should be taught --
That will bring us back from woe, oh, oh, oh...

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.

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!

Jill E. you are quite right I have no idea why I'm even thinking I could be a Jeopardy contestant.

All I could think of was me and my thoracic problems and my immediate response was Acorniated Disk. I know really bad. [Big Grin]

 -

Jill E. maybe if we dress up real fancy Doc Dave will buy us those purses. I'd love a squirrel spy purse for when I hangout with my friend Morocco.

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.

Don't feel you are being outnumbered by LymeGals, enjoy it - you're the "Charlie" to our "Angels."

Jill
