WHO IS KOOS

[Dalene Steenkamp (Coetzee)]

Hey, are you two sharing a pipe on skype?      spinningweed 



We are not laying out the base script for a Stephen King thriller here.  We are using FBI tactics to lure the lion from it's den.  He prowls by and stalks us, then jumps in for a sudden, bloody kill and then he goes back to his hiding place to lick his lips. 

Maybe I should convert to Scotland Yard methods...........  or call in the SWAT teams..........

anyway.....

[Rhona]

All time favourite Steven King.........and I quote "I'm your number one fan........."

[Michael Alexander]

Misery.........


Is how I'm feeling now, coz My Gouts back, and I cannot sleep.... thanks Aunty Paula....

[Rhona]

You on any meds for it?

[Michael Alexander]

Yep! Yep! Heaps of the stuff..... Puricos, Colchicine, Cerebrex and Beta something or other... I think predisone.... Sometimes it helps, but Other times it's easier and less painfull just to drink about 15 cans of beer... at least i get to sleep then.....

[Florrie van Zyl (Muir)]

Mike, try Rheugesic, I have heard a few people say it really works.

[Michael Alexander]

Thanks Florrie, but I went to a specialist last may and I have to admit that my attacks have decreased by 80% .... If I stick to the "rules" then my attacks go away..... BUT , beer, Braai,Biltong is an issue with me....

[Rhona]

Hey Mike; even though some rules are made to be broken............ by breaking the rules from a specialist; in the long term............. this will drive you to the brink of insanity where the pain is concerned..........trust me on that one.............took me a long painfull time before I just thought 'to hell with this' and had a serious talk with myself where my diet is concerned.

[Michael Alexander]

... can I say, I'll start on Monday?

[Rhona]

Mike, I've been in pain for the last 18years and believe me when I say this............Monday never comes!!! But in saying that, don't just go 'bang' and cut everything out that you enjoy................why not make a deal to cut back a little on the good stuff........have your biltong, but every second day instead of everyday.........as for the braai, I guess there's no chance you'd throw chicken on that flame............ha!ha!ha!ha! just re-read that and it sounds ridiculous considering whom I'm talking to...right?
Like me, you know what to do.............easier to tell some-one else hey? Tell you what, If I promise to cut back on my pain creators will you promise to cut back on yours???

[Michael Alexander]

Included is dead fowl on the coals... see I do cook the stuff, but thats for the girls, The problem is where I work, fast foods and braaimeat all the time, With the weather like it is, it's difficult not to braai and have a few beers.... I have had gout for the last 13 years, and it's  improved, often when the pain hits, normally between 01h00 and 04h00, I sit there cursing myself for indulging, knee or ankle throbbing away, it seemed like a good idea at the time..... I need to focus, Michele is a vegetarian and has managed to swing some of my meating habits over to other soya based things, but when saturday gets here, steak, chops, wors..... oh and chicken.... I just gotta get my mind sorted out... where there's a will , there's a way, Think Will cannot make it to my braai's

[Rhona]

Never a truer word spoken..........All sorts of promises are made in the dead of the night, when everyone else is asleep, and the joints are banging out their own tunes....I've done it myself often enough......"I swear tomorrow will be different" and then tomorrow comes and the pain subsides a little and "hey! Mr. Cheeseburger, you looking at me? Man aren't you a cutie!!!" and all the promises from the previous night go out the window until the next time......am I right?
How about leaving one piece of red meat from the braai off your plate at the w.end and stick on that chicken leg? Course you'll have to eat the chicken leg...............

[Michael Alexander]

To True to True, I feel like i'm in confession here..... Maybe i'll just stick to, I 'll start on Monday, it seems like an easier goal, Anyhow, I have to call it quits for the evening, As the lack of sleep from last night is making me drowsy, And My leg is currently numb, so I am gonna catch some Zzzzzzz!' after i get a cheeseburger outta the kitchen,,,,

Gnite!

[Rhona]

ha!ha!ha!ha!ha!....................Be good!!!
