I'm not sure I have ever thanked you for it, but you do a bang-up wonderful job of making sure that everyone who needs it gets consoled an' sich. I'm not anywhere as good at it as you are, and I'm glad that you do it. You're as good a reason as any explaining why this thread rocks and the others . . . don't. It reminds me of 2002 here. No, this is more gooder. Anyway, thank you very much.


I owe you a sammich.
Believe it or not it's an honor,and a privilege to chat and be in the company of everyone here. Some new, some more mature, some newer to the thread. Everyone's just trying to fit in. And eventually those that stay, or keep periodically returning realize they don't have to impress anyone To fit in, or enjoy the room they just have to be themselves. No fake facades but who they actually are, sharing who and what interests them without judgement.

And that explains succinctly why we are here and why we keep coming back.


The twits get bored quickly.


The good ones always come back.


You are a big reason why.

The average body temperature is not 98.6 degrees.​

[TD]In 1851, German physician Carl Wunderlich conducted a thorough experiment to determine the average human body temperature. In the city of Leipzig, Wunderlich stuck a foot-long thermometer inside 25,000 different human armpits, and discovered temperatures ranging from 97.2 to 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit. The average of those temperatures was the well-known 98.6 degrees — aka the number you hoped to convincingly exceed when you were too “sick” to go to school as a kid. For more than a century, physicians as well as parents have stuck with that number, but in the past few decades, experts have started questioning if 98.6 degrees is really the benchmark for a healthy internal human temperature.

For one thing, many factors can impact a person’s temperature. The time of day, where the temperature was taken (skin, mouth, etc.), if the person ate recently, their age, their height, and their weight can all impact the mercury. Furthermore, Wunderlich’s equipment and calibrations might not pass scientific scrutiny today. Plus, some experts think humans are getting a little colder, possibly because of our overall healthier lives. Access to anti-inflammatory medication, better care for infections, and even better dental care may help keep our body temperatures lower than those of our 19th-century ancestors.

In 1992, the first study to question Wunderlich’s findings found a baseline body temperature closer to 98.2 degrees. A 2023 study refined that further and arrived at around 97.9 degrees (though oral measurements were as low as 97.5). However, the truth is that body temperature is not a one-size-fits-all situation. For the best results, try to determine your own baseline body temperature and work with that. We’re sure Wunderlich won’t mind.[/TD]

Good Morning or whatever time applies...
Last night was hell for Lady K! You see she has thyroid issues, COPD, severe scoliosis, with a kyphosis. I
She was in excruciating pain all day and her meds weren't as effective probably because of the weather.
She has a lot of such days, but some are more painful than others
I feel helpless because there is nothing I can do to alleviate her pain. It's the worst torture imaginable. She turned down a medication that contains fentayl because she doesn't want to get addicted..
I know I can speak freely here, but I'm sorry to say all this. Thanks for being here for me. 💜 🫂 :rose:
RJ. We got your six (your six oclock
Position, aka, your back).

Always.

Your one of us and so is lady k.

I am so sorry to hear this. I am so sorry she’s having such a difficult time right now. I wonder if there are any other treatments she can take??

We are thinking of you and her….

Hugs, brother. 🫂🫂🫂.

Sending out healing vibes….
 
Good morning or evening according to your time zone. I am just sitting having breakfast with my mum. Then it’s an eight hour drive to N Devon to see my grandchildren for a few days. I will pop by the Bar when I can but they are my priority when I get there.

Take care everyone!
Safe travels and have a great visit!!
