I WISH SUE LIVED NEARBY!!!
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

Because books.
I wish Sue lived near ME. We could totally be ... down in the dumps together. Or something.

billytea, are you familiar with Stahmann's Farms? Cause they are a hometown (Las Cruces, NM) pecanery gone Aussie. It kind of blew my mind when I learned that, cause I grew up driving through their pecan orchards. And snitching the fallen bits on occasion.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I'm only good with chocolate chips if the food is still hot and they're melted goo.
I am ita in this.
ita, some of your stomach symptoms have sounded like my gastric reflux at its worse, so the Prilosec may really help. It takes a couple of days to really kick in.
Whatever my mother puts in her oatmeal cookies is good. Sometimes it's raisins. Sometimes it's dates. Sometimes she also adds cereal she didn't like as cereal. They are magic cookies.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
The weather and its damage is scary. I am sorry your parents lost so much awesome vegetation.
the smell of mesquite and creosote and wet ozone.
God, yes. And wet desert dust. I think it's the creosote that I imprinted on most though. That is what has been in every desert I've lived in and swooned for the rain smell.
Mom still calls me every time it rains.

Ditto. It's a weird thing because I don't feel the "heartburn" but then the acid burns my throat and I do feel like I have strep and a few other weird things. The pills have been so helpful.

Yeah. Around here, a good soaking rain smells like wet dog. Uhg.

The rain doesn't smell right here either. On the other hand, just the air smells really good a lot of the time. So it's a trade off I can live with but I miss the rain smelling like rain should.
Rain doesn't really smell like anything here most of the time. Though a few weeks back we had a startling warm couple of days and then around nine one evening, crash and boom of thunderstorms. Those smelled good.

Peanut butter mushroom soup.
I've never heard of such a thing. Huh. Off to google--thanks!

But do ulcers or indigestion give you a fever?
I missed this earlier, but...um. When my brother had bleeding ulcers and before he was put on a diet of liquid lidocaine and gallons of maalox, he ran fevers.
Which he took while eating all of the spiciest of New Orleans' offerings. And drinking it. I had to carry the bottles in my purse. So.
