Hey -- the Lymenuts could be planning meals for the holidaze! So far we have;

APPETIZERS: lymes with nuts, fusilli pasta with small black specks of pepper running rampant

MAIN COURSE: Roast Duck, mock duck, con-fit de canard, tick taters, broiled babs, two laremia

DRINKS: ehrl grey tea, bar tonella specials

great cost! -- 00.00 -- can't beat it! all proceeds to benefit steere and company Lyme/co research --

(hey -- is a malefit the opposite of benefit? as in all proceeds to malefit the duckpond)

I think we should charge more for engorged pet ticks-depending on how engorged-like 2 X $OO.OO or 5 X $OO.OO for a really, ready for the hammer fat one.

Lyme-infected pet tick pricing:
Unfed tick: 0.0
Fed tick: 00.00
Well-fed tick: 000.000

Add an extra zero for each coinfection the tick carries

Return policies:
Merchandise return/refund if no infections found

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?????????

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.

This is an ole camp song.The owner of the camp would sing it and use the name of his wife...Skipper.

We can sing it and use our fav.Lyme personalities...the ones that do us right. [Wink] Yeah right.Think of the fun,all of the names,A**en,Du....on and on.
I'll sing it w/ Skipper,ah,what a great person.
*****

Skipper fell down in the bucket
The bucket fell down in the well
We cut the rope to the bucket
And Skipper went down into..

Ting-a-ling,Fa-la-la ,oh-la-la-laa
These are the voices we hear from afar

Ting-a-ling,Fa-la-la,Oh-la-la-la

She played on her silver guitar-ar-ar-ar!
********
Ah,Mr. Mac and Skipper...they were great and lots of fun.Now use your favorite Lyme personality.

More medical information songs here? Were there any songs sung at the recent conference in Philly? Did anyone sing this one:

We are all blue, Philly, Philly
Tho Lyme is green
Why did the kings, Philly, Philly
Write guide obscene?

Maybe somone who went to the conference could give us a song about it.

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.

We're off to bust the wizards,
the wonderful buzzards of ahs.
Because, because, because, because
because of the offal-bull guidelines they does.

And let's not forget the Activism site. They might want to sing too.

To the tune of Are You Sleeping? Time to wake up and hear the ole ears ringing...

Called for songs here,
Lyme/co songs here,
on these sites,
for song bites:

Activism singing,
and Off-Topic dinging,
General Support,
general cavort.

Here's one for the Little Ticker's Special edition.

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.

Like a bolt out of the blue, Dr. Jones will see you thru
But if you wish upon a duck, no dreams come true.

[hi]

OK, I know it is way before the holidays guys & gals, but when the spirit moves you, you've just got to write lyme inspired songs -- the only song revue inspired by a disease that I know of!!

Robin, please add this to your West Coast songfest at the mal-e-fit.


To the tune of ``Twelve days of Christmas''

On the first day of treatment, my Lymenut gave to me:

A Partridge in a Pear Tree!

On the second day of treatment, my Lymenut gave to me:

Two Doxycycline
And a Partridge in a Pear Tree!

On the third day of treatment, my Lymenut gave to me:

Three blood tests
Two Doxycycline
And a Partridge in a Pear Tree!

On the fourth day of treatment, my Lymenut gave to me:

Four new referrals
Three blood tests
Two Doxycycline
And a Partridge in a Pear Tree!

On the fifth day of treatment, my Lymenut gave to me:

Five Rife Machines!
Four new referrals
Three blood tests
Two Doxycycline
And a Partridge in a Pear Tree!

On the sixth day of treatment, my Lymenut gave to me:

Six ducks a leaving,
Five Rife Machines!
Four new referrals
Three blood tests
Two Doxycycline
And a partridge in a pear tree!

On the seventh day of treatment, my Lymenut gave to me:

Seven Lymenut CDs
Six ducks a leaving
Five Rife Machines!
Four new referrals
Three blood tests
Two Doxycycline
And a partridge in a pear tree!

On the eighth day of treatment, my Lymenut gave to me:

Eight ticks a squishing
Seven Lymenut CDs
Six ducks a leaving
Five Rife Machines!
Four new referrals
Three blood tests
Two Doxycycline
And a partridge in a pear tree!

On the ninth day of treatment, my Lymenut gave to me:

Nine Lyme Docs calling
Eight ticks a squishing
Seven Lymenut CDs
Six ducks a leaving
Five Rife Machines!
Four new referrals
Three blood tests
Two Doxycycline
And a partridge in a pear tree!

On the tenth day of treatment, my Lymenut gave to me:

Ten ketes a leaping
Nine Lyme Docs calling
Eight ticks a squishing
Seven Lymenut CDs
Six ducks a leaving
Five Rife Machines!
Four new referrals
Three blood tests
Two Doxycycline
And a partridge in a pear tree!

On the eleventh day of treatment, my Lymenut gave to me:

Eleven saunas baking
Ten ketes a leaping
Nine Lyme Docs calling
Eight ticks a squishing
Seven Lymenut CDs
Six ducks a leaving
Five Rife Machines!
Four new referrals
Three blood tests
Two Doxycycline
And a partridge in a pear tree!

On the twelfth day of treatment, my Lymenut gave to me:

Twelve Lymies posting
Eleven saunas baking
Ten ketes a leaping
Nine Lyme Docs calling
Eight ticks a squishing
Seven Lymenut CDs
Six ducks a leaving
Five Rife Machines!
Four new referrals
Three blood tests
Two Doxycycline
And a partridge in a pear tree!

Please sing this loud enough so I can hear you here in NYC!

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

Whew, docdave -- Memory -- made to order -- and Cats with ticks -- how appropriate -- you could work with the cat personalities a bit, methinks

just saw this is page eight!!!!!!!!

we appreci-ate all the hard and easy work done by everyone to d-ate to bring these wonderful songs to the light of day and the moon of night and the clouds of gray

y'all doing gr-ate!!

PS in case the opening cat-atonic remark confuses you -- if my Memory serves me correctly, it's for stymie's work posted at the bottom of page seven -- go see and meow about it

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.

ps docdave and robin [hi]

pps- reminds me of a joke
What do you get if Batman and Robin are run over by a steamroller?

Hi Robin [lol]

Yes, since most ducks are male, they will have
a male-fit at their mallardfit!

OK, I think we have ridden that duck as far as it will go... this is not a duck-walk, after all!

Hey doc dave, of the melancholy B'way tune -- it does fit (if the tick fits..), and I can't wait to see the cast costumes for TICKS!

[woohoo]

Thx for re-posting your song, cobweb mitty -- appreci-ate the changes --

yes ahem, rolling right along here -- what I really want to know is: can a steam roller flatten a tick?

As we say in music, better C# or you'll Bb!(that's flat, folks, NOT burgdorferi -- nope, no burgdorferi key in music)

Ok -- a Thanksgiving song for eddybody -- I know we don't have enuf research or treatments or clues about Lyme/coinfections yet, so this is the best I could do, given the current circumstances...

WE GATHER TOGETHER

We gather together to unmask what is missing --
We chasten the I*D*S*A to make known
Their guidelines oppressing, humanity distressing,
To speak up is our aim -- don't forget: truth's our own.

Inside us to guide us, our truths we are finding,
Revealing and feeling our Lyme/co design.
So from the beginning, this fight we must be winning,
And share our words online, Lyme-storied grapevine.

We all do extol you, I*LADS -- be triumphant,
And pray your defense work successful will be.
Your call for retraction, with our collective action --
Our spirits we will raise, to help make us free!

ok guys -- this definitely belongs in the CD album category BELIEVE IT OR NOT(BELIEVE IT OR NUT?) --

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... [Roll Eyes]

Whoops -- this went to 2nd pg -- where is everyone? Ok, songtime:

A tick in a manger,
I think it's well-fed.
The little ixodes implants its small head.
The pigs in the sty went down where they lay.
The little ixodes a-creep in the hay.

One for the country on this our voting day...

My country tis for thee,
we make this eulogy --
Of Lyme we sing.
Land where the ticks reside,
they have our lives denied --
In every countryside,
tick repellant bring.

And whoever wins, in any house and senate race, they will need to hear from us about moving the congressional funding bills forward...

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... [Roll Eyes]

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!!

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.

Robin,

You are brilliant, as usual.

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

Do you remember those old black-and-white Buzby Berkeley films on TV, where the dancers form a circle, then the cameras show them from above?

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!!

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.

I'm not sure if I'm missing something here. I would be interested in this CD, but not if it goes to benefit the Steerites. Did I get that right?

lymewreck [bonk] [bonk] [bonk] [bonk] [bonk]
have you read any of the post?????
this started last week and still on the first page
read thru it.
there is a cd for sale but it costs
$000.00 and all proceeds go to Steere et al.
we have collected $0000000.00 to go to help lyme research by Steere.

you need to get out of the fog and read the post,
its quite entertaining and WILL MAKE YOU LAUGH.

Lymewreck -- we've raised a googleplex of zeroes in American money, euros and pesos for the Steerites so far. The bidding is still open if you care to throw in additional currencies. We're giving them absolutely nothing since nothing they do seems to work for us.

Cave -- lol -- I had no idea doxy was so sexy -- does that help or hinder our cause? -- so pray tell, which more-discrete antibiotic should I audition next for the dance troupe number?

Can't believe nobody's submitted this one yet-or maybe they have ?

I.D.S.A.
by Village Idiots

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 this town.
There's no need to be happy.

Young man, there's no place you can go
Where they won't take for 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 I.D.S.A.
