Well I went to the Dr. & I had my annual $ 435.00 of
bloodwork done & the only thing wrong was the
esonophil(SP) count was flagged..it's supposed to be
less than 500 & mine was about 1,400.....it indicates
that someone is having a problem with either food
allergies or parasites & the Dr. didn't think that
parasites was it because I didn't have diareaha..& she
didn't think my spasms were extreme enough or
something but she had one of those food allergie
tests....( basically its biofeedback)...& it got
rather specific about the parasite thing (it's one
similiar to Giardia .."Cryptosporidium".,etc..
.something like that if I'm remembering it right &
identified all these foods I'm suddenly allergic
too....so now I have this big fat thing going on with
food allergies......I have to avoid all these things
so my intestines can recoup....I've gotten on the web
& apparently Crypto... is very easy to get if your
swimming in a pond, pool or lake that has been
infected by a spec of cow crap....or some other farm
animal like a lamb...the oocysts can float around on
the water surface & survive for weeks...(I couldn't
help but think of Burston Pond!)..the oocyssts somehow
get in your mouth ...they survive in chlorinated water
easily...Milwalkee had an outbreak in 93 in their city
water & 400,000 people got it..chlorine can't kill
it..it's dangerous for little babies & HIV folks
because of the diareeha......ANYWAY..it basically
impairs your digestive tract becuase it takes out or
damages the villi....well whatever all I know is my
digestive tract is impaired because everytime I eat
something it makes me sick..(Iv'e lost 10 pounds from
this & at the rate I'm going avoiding all of the
allergic food I'll probably lose another 10
more!!!)...I'd rather be fatter thank-you..I'm being
treated by Dr. Jones with homeopathy...the average
course of cryto is usually 10 days...but it can be
contagious for 2 months....If it;'s crypto that
started all of this then it makes sense because I got
ill 7 or 8 days after we swallowed water in Burston
Pond..(but the rope swing was fun!)_...the web says
thats how long it takes to show up & it's similiar to
viral symptoms which is what I thought I had....oh
well .....guess away..... ..........since I've had
this for 5 1/2 weeks maybe things will turn around
soon...I CAN"T EAT ANY TOMATOES UNTIL IT DOES!!! try
eating your salmon taco w/o salsa or ranch tomatillo
sauce or diet coke....or lime....thank heavens for the
North Shore waffles w/ bluberies... but NO sweet or
sugar-free syrup whatso ever...this is a long boring
email about myself but I really don't care because I'm
starting to lose my marbles.....what I'm wondering is
if this did come from B. Pond ( I guess it could of
come from somewhere else)...how are the Brimhall
kids???? Lynn may have been very brilliant not to have
swung on the rope swing or swim at all!! has anyone
heard if they have flu like symptoms or possibly
diareaha....I read that when people get these
parasites they often have headaches, & sinus symptoms.
so how are the children....? There are some lucky
folks that can ingest these oocysts & when the
parasites pop out they just don't burrow in & cause
an infection...& then they get passed in the
bowel....oh to be so lucky......love Sue

Sue,

Stop eating cow crap.

Re: Hasselhoff Nirvana

Wow Doug...I've never seen him look so swell..The
Hasselhoff guy.. .Hye Soo I believe is just
spoofing you about the cute short hair cut , check
the photo closely..it's probably photoshopped...or was
there even a photo?...We asked her about her hair cut
& she didn't know what we were talking about & Rich
said somebody said you cut your hair short & then she
just started laughing...she just got cast in some play
as an Indian so I doubt that she has some short
haircut...such gullibillity...don't worry Doug I know
I probably spelled that wrong...feel free to correct
it though.....I would like EVERYBODY to send me an
email of how they think this word would be
spelled...(see below)....no cheating Doug...&! nobody
can look it up in the dictionary or spell check which
could be wrong anyway.>>>>>>>>>>> { An erect American
herb of the night shade family widely cultivated as a
vegtable crop: 1.) potato 2.) potatoe } .... so how
do you all cast your vote is it 1. or 2. ???? If you
owned a potato(e) farm how would you spell
it?......indulge me in this game because I can
actually sit in front of my computer today...yesterday
I could not..I was between the couch & the jon unable
to speak....oo-o-o-o-oooo I found the BEST brown rice
at the asian food store last week..it's from
Thailand...it's Jasmine rice but in the wholegrain
brown version...didn't even know you could get it that
way...it made a delicous vegtable soup/broth...the
fragrant jasmine...AHAH...does anyone know how they
grow it that way??....goodbye...Sue*****

I figured that the transition was something about brown rice causing too
much roughage which caused an extended stay on the toilet--maybe this has
something to do with diarrea, and the shirt "HASSHOLE", which combines the
toilet end of the body, and the Hoff.

Regarding a body part close by, check out the latest Hoff image.

Okay everyone, Zoe, the one who’s email address sparked this potato(e) controversy is putting in her say.  In Webster's dictionary the world is spelled: POTATO!!!!  The only way there could be an E at the end would be if we lived in the age of the American Revolution.  The olde times where the people lived in mud huts and drank whiskey for every meal.  
Love,
The great and wonderful
ZOE BEAN

PS.  Sue, I think you are officially losing your marbles.  I can connect the topics of your email though.  Maybe you were talking about rice because that was what was coming out while you were on the john.  Just my thoughts.

Potatoe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation , search
"Potatoe" is an archaic  spelling of the word potato . The Oxford English Dictionary  lists potatoe as a variant form, with the most recent usage cited from 1880: "She found the parson in his garden..making a potatoe pie for the winter." However, it is considered a misspelling  in modern English. Although the English plural  potatoes is spelt with an "e," the singular form is not, and no dictionary  considers potatoe to be an acceptable modern spelling.
