Joined: Jul 2010 Posts: 531 | U crazy nut Eric!! I love you and your honestness and living life in the way do, in humor! Cuz if I didn't live it that way, I'd be insane from the way this world really is and what life has dealt me so I just laugh about it! And yes...I too have had a great sex life in my younger days, and I loved almost all of it! lol And Ron didn't have his swallow study, it was just a followup. His apt for that is the 23rd of this month, but, he is eating now himself, so far no pneumonia, he ate 3 yes 3 bowls of ice cream yesterday, Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup and Oreo cookie. I asked him how his belly was this morning and he said fine, I ate a little bit of the PB one with him and the chunks of cups and mine wasn't fine...Saturday morning he wanted scrambled eggs, so I made them in some bacon grease and he loved it, said it was great not to burp up formula taste.

Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 1,844 | Sue, I'm glad that Ron is eating and I really do appreciate you my dear. You rock. Personally I think messing with "happy" people should be a sport and judged. What I find funny is knocking on their door really loudly and yelling "Police!" it always gets a rise out of them and a good laugh for me I'm kidding that's cruel...funny but cruel especially if you ruin a dime bag of happiness  That's happiness abuse and should require counseling. Live life, be well Eric

Joined: Jul 2010 Posts: 531 | roflmao! omg, i laughed outloud when i read your response eric and i'm at work, oh well they are used to me talking to myself anyway so what's an outloud laugh coming from my office. i never thought about doing that one bout yelling out POLICE hahahaha my ex husband is on the SWAT team. i'm sure my kid would have pooped his pants if I done that when he was younger!
Yesterday I came home from work and Tuesday's are BW3's Wing night I go almost every week, and there was Ron all cleaned up, showered and shaved his "half a beard" that is left that grows and he went out with me! He looked very good, best he's looked since before his surgery actually. He came home afterwards and he was hungry after watching me eat and I made him some Barilla I think it is Mushroom Alfredo sauce from the jar with some fettucini. He told me this morning he feels really good, I told him cuz he's eating again getting food in his belly. Yay!!
