Fuck cancer.

At every opportunity.

If you ain't bummed yet, Ima bum your stone now:

The Bruce Springsteen song "Born In The U.S.A." is thirty years old today. And it's original title was "You Died In Vietnam".

Now I feel old. And confused.

Most people never listen to lyrics. It's not a particularly happy song with either title.

Disappointing Jersey didn't adopt it as their state song just because somebody stopped to read them. :haha:

I remember when the Republicans were using it for a while at political rallies, before someone clued them in to the lyrics.

I've been abusing my stomach and it finally protested. Bad stomachache this morning. I tried gagging myself for the darn food or whatever causing the pain to go out but it wouldn't. I had to lie there and endure until it finally came up, which as the coconut water I drank with the sweet roll I ate for breakfast. :( Slept some then more pain because tummy was empty and hungry. Sigh....toast and some warm water. Slept some more until the kids left the bedroom door open and the noise woke me up. Stomach finally settled so I ate more toast and more warm water. I have a sensitive stomach, so I didn't want it to get angry at me anymore. :thepain3: Later I ate some white rice and soy sauce, but I stupidly used the one that's spicy. Yummy but now my stomach is upset with me again. I have a bad headache and tight shoulders but I'm afraid of drinking ibuprofen because my stomach is rather empty and it will definitely protest loudly again. Sigh.....:thepain3:

sounds like you need a nice back rub and some warm ginger ale. i'll be right over

a back rub and warm ginger ale? that does sound nice! :D

Sounds like you should see a doctor, you may be working on an ulcer from stress. :(

I'm looking for one right now. I haven't had a check-up forever and now that I'm getting older, I really should get a thorough check-up. My stomach pain is probably as a result to my mental state these days, I guess, if what you're saying is right. As you know, I haven't been able to sleep well and my lost of appetite affects how I eat too. Thus, the abuse to my stomach -- not eating much or at all.

You need a nice, tall glass of Gravdigr.

It'll set ya right.:yesnod:

Lola, your stomach sounds like the way mine felt for the two weeks prior to my wedding. Even water would give me heartburn.

Should have taken the hint...

Like this stuff? It's delicious!
