Hmmm.......hello, Scottish. Welcome to NOTHING.:wave:

It depends on the kind of day the Dr. is having. If Nothing too heavy duty is going on they are likely to take it easy on you. Maybe the patient before you looked like John Candy so a couple extra pounds is Nuthin.

Wiotte not checking in while he has his engine apart is no big concern. He loves his car. Those couple of crispy dark valves were heartbreaking and needed immediate repair. When it's running well again and Nothing else is wrong he'll be back.

First time EVER that pain medicine was requested by Mrs. John Wayne A.K.A. Mrs. Nucky but the Dr. said only an Aleve, Tylenol cocktail, Nothing more. It worked, thankfully.

It seems as if my original goal, which was to keep it simple stupid, fell by the wayside. I’ve decided to disassemble everything north of the firewall. I was stupid thinking I’ll have a heart attack, if I kept thinking that way, why bother doing anything ? So, I’m committed to thinking I’m 33 again and I’ll live forever. So, damn the torpedos and full NOTHING ahead ! Thanks for saying I’m an important cog in the NOTHING gear, for a gear head that’s a true compliment.

On hold but always looking. My wife had a good point. If we had to leave the premises in a hurry wouldn't I rather have a more current vehicle? That's not Nothing. She has been keeping me out of trouble for years.

I had a 1997 Deville with only 9000 miles on it when I sold it to move down here, Nothing but a humongous regret. When the time is correct I'll take you up on that offer there Mr. Goodwrench. Until then :gc: better than Nothing.

Btw, Nucky, hope Mrs. Nucky is feeling better. Saying prayers for her pain to be relieved and for a quick recovery.......and that's not NOTHING. :)

Dear Abby10 and Nucky,

Please forgive me for “eavesdropping” and then sticking my nose into your conversation, but before I leave the house today, I must comment here because you are talking about divertic- and that got my attention.

I am not a medical person. But I have two close friends up north who have suffered from diverticulitis. One was hospitalized. Both friends got through without surgery and have done fine since by making sure fiber in the diet is a part of every day.

Diverticulosis basically means “conditions exist.” But when, and if, inflammation sets into those little intestinal pouches, that is when the diagnosis is diverticulitis. An attack of diverticulitis can be diagnosed with a scan. I saw one of the scan reports. It had the words “uncomplicated diverticulitis” — and she was sent home with very strict orders to stay on a bland diet until the attack had subsided. She was given 2 prescriptions. (I think they were Flagyl and Cipro — but please, please do not take me at my word on those meds. I am not a doctor or nurse or pharmacist or PA or NP or a receptionist in a medical office. I do not know what the meds should be or even if I am remembering correctly what she got.)

Though one of my friends was hospitalized, both got through the attacks without surgery. Each has managed, so far, to avoid another attack by making Metamucil, or some other fiber supplement, a part of their daily commitment along with a healthy diet that includes plenty of fiber rich foods.

One of my friends was told about the fiber thing when she was in an earlier attack and took that to mean she should start the fiber immediately — WRONG. That doc had said nothing about the immediate need for a bland diet during an attack. (Geez) Anyway, that bland diet often includes broth. There is bone broth available now in those boxes in the broth section. I think Pacific is the brand she used. She said the protein in the bone broth seemed to help her not to feel like she was starving as she let her intestines recover by giving them a rest. After recovery is when she started being ever faithful to fiber in her diet.

I debated this morning about whether to stick my nose in here with unsolicited “medical” advice. But I know the potential seriousness of diverticulitis. It is nothing to mess with. A scan for the definitive diagnosis is done during an attack.

You can find more information on the internet. If you type in “diverticulitis” it will take you to responsible sites like Mayo, etc.

I feel a little ridiculous, babbling on here this morning. I have never met you and I feel like I am barging in in a most public way. But I know how serious things could have become for my two friends who wrestled this condition and will have to continue to stay ahead of it.

And now, I must move forward with my day — hanging out with friends I can actually see. I wish you all the best of health. And if diverticulitis is suspected, an immediate scan might be in order.

Boomer, everyone is welcome in NOTHING. When trying to help others you're even more welcome.

Metamucil has been part of our diet for years. It just makes life a little smoother.. lol

I like yogurt to keep things regular. Helps with keeping my bowels full of NOTHING all that harmful. I hear a TMI coming.

Boomer,

Your post is NOTHING but a wonderful addition here. For not being a medical person you sure know your stuff. Very helpful information and you were spot on with the medications - I'm impressed! And equally impressed that you included a NOTHING in your post - lol.

It does get kind of personal around here at times because, in what we call NOTHINGVILLE, we have come to feel connected in a virtual kind of way and as such care about each others dilemmas. We hope to never come across as exclusionary however. Just think of us as a "town" where some people move in and out of at will and others choose to stay for the long haul. All are welcome, so come back anytime. Thanks so much for the tips and enjoy your day! :wave:

That's okay, we're NOTHING but family here. I'm with you on the yogurt. I eat it everyday, usually for breakfast, and I add fresh berries, nuts, and some steel oats to it - yum! :icon_hungry:

The Thread About NOTHING
 

Let it be said, or not, that NOTHING has been said for over 10 hours. I’m not a NOTHING slacker boys. Oh yeah, and girls [emoji6].
My progress report, almost NOTHING left in the engine compartment, almost.

Tomorrow’s another day, hell, I’m retired ! [emoji847]

Back in the day I could lift that
short block out singlehanded. Nope, not anymore. I need to
rent a engine puller, then I can lift it singlehanded. Ya man.
