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?

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...

I'm having a hard time locating my explexus, due to ketes having et my plexi. I would like a little more support from it, which is not forthcoming at this time. In fact, I haven't heard from my explexus in quite some time. Please advise.

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

Here I is!! Back from some strange outergalac-tick adventure with the cling-ons. And some explexi! They have some nerve, being so far out there.
I think you need a really good marching band for the NY rally, with some really good bass drums and y'all sing the Tick Marching songs! Xerox 'em for everyone!! BOOM BOOM BOOM!! 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:
We are little Lymenuts, hear us out! This is our message: tick facts we spout. We are good and ready -- hear us shout: IDSA, you are out! IDSA, you are out!

I love the idea of a marching band at the rally. Everyone wear boots so we can squish bugs along the parade route.
Robin, I'm sure you're already working on the lyrics to "And when the ticks come marching in..."
Anyone know how to twirl a baton? Or a Bicillin syringe?

Oh when the ticks(boom,boom,boom,boom) Go marching in(boom,boom,boom,boom) Oh when the ticks go marching in(boom,boom) Oh I don't want to be in that number When the ticks go marching in(boom,boom)
Ok, another number for the band. Now you need a cast of ticks too.
I made one for my San Francisco city hall testimony on Halloween -- wrap four black plastic bags around a pillow case and poke their two tie loops out each time for a total of eight leg loops...et voila, un pet tick...

we can get the green hornet marching band or the jets marching band wears lyme green.
we can get biily boy to be our spokesperson, maybe if we name our price to wormser he can negotiate a sale. we can tell him we want a 5 star ids not the 1 star they gave us.

Hey Robin...
Don't you remember sweet talkin guy?
Anyway...no...I could'nt make the rally...I had a flareup of transient shingles like pain accross my lower back from hip to hip...
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...
SEE you girls are'nt the ONLY ones with a cycle!
I'm gonna call it....LCCS....Lyme Craziness cycle syndrome...it's worse than PMS...although I never experienced that in person...just nuttso women I've encountered in my life....LOL

Hi Tonyz -- sorry about your shingles case. Maybe we should call you a shingle singer, as in the swingle singers?
Hm...a Lyme/co song on cycles...
Ok -- I'm offering up a cyclic song for today, the first day of December...
(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.

ONE SONG FOR ME: A Hard Day's Night Beatles
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 you, I find the things that you do Will make me feel LIKE CRAP. You know I'M SICK ALL day MY DISABILITY get's you money to buy you things. 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.

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!'

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!

I got bit Down by the crik By a tick, Picking up sticks
Protect the Steelhead, That's what the sign said Planting trees Brush past to my knees
They'll attack on your back, Or your rump behind a stump,
So if you gotta pee, Listen to me, By the grass, Watch you're a**

OK, don't know the rest of the lyrics -- repeat first stanza.
Never thought I would get the word "lysing" in a song -- kind of cool!
