I just received news that Jim was taken to the hospital several days ago for a bleeding ulcer and is not doing well. They have him on a respirator and he's not lucid. That's all I know tonight.

It was a casual meeting between two conversationalists determined to talk about the first thing that popped up. "You assist an evil system most effectively by obeying its orders and decrees. An evil system never deserves such allegiance. Allegiance to it means partaking of the evil. A good person will resist an evil system with his or her whole soul." Mahatma Gandhi
You're probably the only one here that everyone likes. Well, there may be one or 2 others, but you know what I mean.
-------------------------------------------------------- Yeah - getting it all done correctly is the trick, that I'm still working on. (Between the generally inedible hospital fare and the inactivity, my weight has dropped from 165 to 140, so there's some catching up to be done in the grocery department.) Break the Conventions - Keep the Commandments - G.K.Chesterson Good heavens, Sir Lod is out and about. Good to see you once again young man. I sent note to Mrs. Lod to lock the gin bin.
Yes, the days of my Thank goodness. Break the Conventions - Keep the Commandments - G.K.Chesterson Glad to see you're back Lod, and hope you're feeling better.
Just make sure to get the apostrophes right, Lodster. Not to say that it's become an apostrophe Police State here. There's been some notices posted roundabout, though, that apostrophe infractions are kind of like jaywalking. To you and yours also :) ------- "They're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us...they can't get away this time." -- Col. Puller, USMC
Years ago when I had my bout with ulcers, the docs were shocked that I was a non drinker and non smoker. They finally settled on my job as the cause as when I went back to work, once again I had problems, of course Uncle Sam said it was'nt. Finally retired and had not a problem since. Many things eat at a man besides alcohol.
There is a strong causal association showing that the helicobacter pylori bacteria causes most stomach ulcers (and yes, stress plays a role too).
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Lord Acton The human herd stampedes on the fields of facts and the valleys of truth to get to the desert of ignorance. Saman Mohammadi "If a politician found he had cannibals among his constituents, he would promise them missionaries for dinner." Mencken "..if the military is going to defend our freedoms, then we need freedoms to defend. Our freedoms must be restored before the military can defend them..." Lawrence M. Vance Você me trata desse jeito só porque eu sou preto. Junior (my youngest son)
James... The Australians were the ones that pinned the blame on bacteria but American medicine has never bought into such as the only cause. I went back to work for a year and a half, til the doc told me, either quit work or you wont make it. Never had a problem since. Thats been forty years.
Yes, the Aussie doctor (Barry Marshall) who discovered the association between the bacteria and ulcers actually gave himself an ulcer to prove it. That is not saying that the bacteria is the only causal factor but that it seems to be present in just about everyone who has ulcers.

Stress can definitely dump enough acid into our guts to eat holes everywhere.
Break the Conventions - Keep the Commandments - G.K.Chesterson I used to get horrendous heartburn, then read up on a few possible remedies. I started taking kefer, which is a lot like yogurt but contains a wider variety of healthy bacteria which replenishes what should be in your own gut. For me, the result was immediate and drastic, and I've never really had bad heartburn since. If I did feel it coming on, I'd just take a glass of kefer and it went away within a few minutes. I think it helps destroy the bad bacteria, while reestablishing the natural flora in the digestive tract. Sir Lod... Via PM I will send you brief summary of one side effect of my ulcer operation and recuperation. You must not show it to the Mrs. as she would whack both of us. It is NOT intended for ladies viewing.
hehehehe. thy name is christine. ;)
Keep on trucking, Jim!!
probiotics too
Well, welcome to the club, my man. I haven't had a drink for 4 years, 1 month, 13 days, 18 hours, 43 minutes and 17 seconds. I don't miss it a bit. I swear. ;-) Understand. Break the Conventions - Keep the Commandments - G.K.Chesterson That'll get everyone jealous, don't you think? Then nobody will like him.
Yep, kefer is one of the best probiotics there is, and probably one of the most natural and easy to find. If that pic of Chrissy sitting on Loddy's lap didn't get every breathing male in the Western World jealous of him, nothing would. Christine didn't snu snu you to death? Will wonders ever cease?

Never discount the healing powers of a beautiful woman sitting on your lap. It's like a whole other reason to soldier on to good health. Thanks for visiting me C. Break the Conventions - Keep the Commandments - G.K.Chesterson Welcome back Lod !

Thanks - I cannot tell you how great it is to be out of those hospital/prisons.

Heh, heh, heh. :-) As a fan of good food I can sympathize. Hospital food is even worse than a military chow hall and that's saying something. Just watch the Sour Cream on the baked potato it might be a little rich after the Hospital Hi Loddy, it's good to hear from you.

Are we still praying for this old fart? Sheeez, he musta really been a bad boy to need this much salvation.

Here's to "beautiful people" or Here's Two Beautiful People ! "You assist an evil system most effectively by obeying its orders and decrees. An evil system never deserves such allegiance.

So very glad you're recovering well.

Jim, welcome back!! There's no place like home, eh??
Tell Sir Lod I SAW THAT PHOTO.
#249. To: Lod (#234)
Somebody ought to tell the truth about the Bible. The preachers dare not, because they would be driven from their pulpits. Professors in colleges dare not, because they would lose their salaries. Politicians dare not. They would be defeated. Editors dare not. They would lose subscribers. Merchants dare not, because they might lose customers. Men of fashion dare not, fearing that they would lose caste. Even clerks dare not, because they might be discharged. And so I thought I would do it myself... Robert Ingersoll

Hard to believe that a year and a half have flashed by in our lives, lod that's the prettiest Texas wildflowers photo I have ever seen...

A study group recently released its findings as to the best presidents of the United States of America. Obama has been rated as the 4th best president ever: Reagan and 9 others tied for first, 15 presidents tied for second, 18 tied for third, and Obama came in fourth.

Thank you. It's sad to realize that so many of our friends are no longer here...
