robin, dek, and pam,
thanks again for such nice notes.
i mentioned my aunt; you should have know my MOM; she had more energy than all FIVE of us grown kids combined!! she was go, go, go!
hubby always commented when it was time for mom to die, she'd be pushing up the coffin lid, saying "i've got one more job to do before you put this down on me!" she's been gone 19 yrs. 7-25-09!
it was great for all of you to be using your minds on rhyming things, wasn't it?
glad YOU all had as much with my birthday wishes, greetings, and poems as i did!
i'll be meeting BUGABOO in a little while for lunch for 1st time! looking forward to it. she's 2nd person to meet from here, and i'd met 2 others here including TROUTSCOUT 4.5 years ago after my diagnosis.
pam, you mentioned getting 60; perhaps you could put a post in MEDICAL with this link to get those who NEVER come to support to stop by; sorry just a subtle hint. lol

Happy Birthday Betty
Too bad I missed the party
Was the ice cream and cake good??
Vans 'are' easier to get in and out of,no??
I dont like those cars so low to the ground you hit your head getting in.
Hope your around for 60 more!!
Isnt meeting lymies from this board grand??
Have met those near Pacific Ocean all the way to the Atlantic and LOTS in between,,,such fun!!
Dont celebrate so long you wear yourself out. sounds like you have alot of irons in the fire!!
I am off to beat on a few nails(or fingers),,,maybe saw some of those OFF again!!
I still have bats in my belfry being--just don--

don, thank you so much for your wonderful comments as usual. yes, i love sitting up in the air to see what is coming down the road, and it's so much easier to back up in!!
yes, the cake was good; but i good tell on my diabetes too much icing and wasn't that awful rich stuff; just smooth.
glad you explained where those bats in the belfry were! after all, they say it's all in our heads.
hope your fingers survived your hammering today. hubby has said i can remove nails QUIETER than anyone he's met in his life ... due to lyme nose !! he's bragged about that quite a bit to friends as we remodeled our house years ago.

happy birthday!! many thanks for all you do, you sure have been able to give me not only good info but great referral to my now LLMD-- many thanks

sorry to stop by belated, but better late than never!! not good at poems so will just wish you very blessed year!! happy bday and my God bless you and your hubby
my3boys, glad the llmd names worked out good for you, and are one HAPPY customer!
actually, it has become an ALL WEEK EVENT! ****************************************************
monday ... obama's health fair in des moines where i hoped to address chronic lyme disease/co-infections, but NOT enough time allowed; 2 hrs. vs. 4 hrs.
tuesday .. BIG 60! doing all paperwork to own this beautiful red van; our 1st ever. picking up my FREE BIRTHDAY CAKE by winning on local radio daily BD contest and buying my flowers. plus another business appt. there at home when i arrived. ate out for lunch.
wed. ... met lymenetter, BUGABOO, for a wonderful all you can eat buffet, and pigged out big time. it was the quickest 1.5 hrs. plus visit with both of us talking non-stop to the point our hot food was cold as we ate.
took some of my flowers, pink carnations & orange roses to my soon to be 97 yr. old aunt; she loved them and visited her 1 hr. plus; then stopped by my step-son's place showing him the van and having a quick .5 hr. visit. he has always remembered my birthday in his mind and calls me that night annually!
my step-daughter didn't recogize me this year; her husband is a CONTROL freak! we no longer have her current phone no. or her husband gets the calls ... see phone call is from me, and just hangs up!
thursday ... hospital weekly health education program; will be PARKINSON'S; dr. is my hubby's and i hope to tlak to him later. in fact, 1 yr. he let me bring in LYME INFO BROCHURES and leave in his rooms for folks waiting for him to come in.
also going to get my feet worked on by our homeward RNs at senior center, and at 60 you can eat there for $3.50; so think i'll try that meal too.
friday ... hope to finally get to nursing home again after 1 month. i WON TICKETS FOR JAZZ.... BLUE NOTES concert locally, so plan to take a girlfriend to that. i may have to take my construction ear protectors if music gets too loud for my LYME EARS!
right now, nothing schedule for sat/sun, and boy do i need to sleep in and just REST! this is way to much for this 60 yr. old snow white!
yep, did you all know i'm "snow white" hair and the 7 drawfs are me too:
happy, sleepy, dopey...lyme fog you know; doc...sending out my llmd names/newbie info; GRUMPY ... no need to explain that one!; SNEEZY...do that all night long when sleeping! and bashful .... back in my early days of growing up!
i hope that was their names; no little kids to read story books too to refresh my neuro lyme mind!

robin, she got her wish, and i got the satisfaction of so many lyme friends making the time to stop by with their graphics, good wishes, and hilarious poems! a real win-win situation! xox
i started one in medical, and i need to go there as there was around 8-10 when i checked once!!
this birthday post will go down in history for ME!
troutscout, thanks for stopping by from one FELLOW IOWAN TO ANOTHER .... you LIFESAVER YOU on my ugly flagyl herx here on the board where you were called to come to my rescue, and that you did.
those 2 good looking policemen checking on my welfare that night were just to nice, and yes, tutu, i left them go back to work!
lymenetters, that was 1 night where MANY of you were involved in the saga of what was my full name, and what city did i live in iowa that the police could come and check on my well-being.
SO PLEASE LET 1-2 PEOPLE ON THIS BOARD KNOW YOUR FULL NAME, ADDRESS, PHONE NO. in case the police would need to be called, etc. less stress on the "lymenet posse".
kent, you were the 1st lymenetter i met at local support group meeting and woman from grinnell, mary or linda; i'm NOT good with names, at the same meeting.
you've helped many folks here during the entire time i've been here.

hi keebler; that sounds good .. a month of celebrating in style; i kicked up my heels monday when i couldn't find the parking ramp near cenvention center in des moines for obama's health fair.
today, i can barely walk on my right inside area arch! tonight i used my shoulder/neck frozen ice pack on it and numbed it good!
sorry I'm a little late.. ..was away for a few days....
sounds like you have had a pretty busy week....
thanks for all you do for all of us on LymeNet...
