Anyways..I feel crappy today. This is day two of being completely off Prednisone, which if you are new to my blog or did not hear of my sordid tale, I was put on this steroid for 12 days to combat my Multiple Sclerosis exacerbation. While on it, I felt like I could walk through fire. Now I feel like superman on kryptonite.
As David Letterman would say, "Are we having fun yet?"
My eldest boy looked at me today and pleaded, "Can you please make your chocolate chip cookies for me today?" He is now a teenager so any discussions we have are priceless but here he was asking for something and how could I refuse. So just got done baking two types of chocolate chip cookies because my youngest son is allergic to wheat and dairy so his have to be gluten/dairy free. Thank goodness the health food stores carry mixes now for that sorta thing.
On a totally different tangent I am excited that there is a coffee table book out which has images of all the Wacky Packages cards. Raise your hand if you remember Wacky Packages! You know...like instead of Crest toothpaste...it would be Crust. Ha ha! I know...but to a kid..that shit was funny. Seriously...I love me some Wacky Packages. I am definitely gonna buy the book. Looky!
Well...T-t-t-that's all folks! I hope you are having a grand Labor Day.
More of this and that to come...you betcha.

happy l-day to you and yours, d!
no, not heard of the wacky stuff....
I remember Wacky Packs- And Cracked magazine.
I left a message on my mom's answering machine about the Yiddish word. Grandma knew a lot of a Yiddish. I'm ferclempt on this one.
I hope it is the after effects of you coming down from coming down, off of the prednisone. If there are further coming downs, they lessen each time.
No more episodes, either!
Fercuckta? Yeah, you simply made that one up. :)
Oy vey,
MS is one farcockteh disease, it is.
Know that you will begin to feel much better very soon. Hang in there.
I will admit it here...I HAVE some of those package stickers tucked away in my Hope Chest...which has no "hope" in it anymore...just stupid stuff from my childhood!!!
Sorry to hear you're under the Prednisone withdrawal gun...hang on to the sides of the boat. The waters will calm again soon.

I think I got it....thanks to my mom.
Alta Kocker and farcockt-literally an "old sh*t", or "all crapped up".
One more good one- Kessela. Kessel is cat-kessela is a baby cat.
So Mew would be a shana (beautiful) kessela, and her
mom is a shana maidel.
I hope this helped......
So,it is a fercuckta lousy day for you and I am sorry about that. And, I actually found a reference to the word on the Internet involving a guy who was having problems with his 'fercuckta wiper blades' It's a good word and I may use it myself.
Oh, and your suggestion about lots of sex as a cure for insomnia, I like it. But, my bedmate might not if I tap her on the shoulder at 3 a.m. But, you are a lady after my own heart.
May tomorrow be better for you, dear.
Cheer up!
At least you're not Sarah Palin...
(Who I love and adore as the Trailer Park Barbie she is.)
I think she'll bring an image to the White House that finally reflects the true character of our country.
I hear you. I felt fercuckta all weekend. I was sick and out of sorts. Totally exhausted, moronic and emotional to boot.
It is amazing that you managed to bake cookies.
Damn, I really like your new word!!!
Sometimes I feel like a Wacky Package!
Hope you're feeling better!
Prednisone is such a dirty drug. When I did the steroids, they dripped Solumedrol for three days and I felt very well, indeed.
Then the awful Prednisone taper slammed me against the wall. My coworkers would run and hide from my 'roid rage.
Why can't they find a clean steroid other than Prednisone for the taper? Why can't we taper with the Solumedrol?
Stuff on vitamin C so you can pee it all out. Stay as active as you can to ease the tension caused by the 'roids. The activity will help to take your mind off it and should limber you up for later on.
Best of luck.
Oy geevalt! Would you people consult a Yiddish dictionary, PLEASE???
Your goyishe spelling is making me meshugge...
well. let me tell you ..
in german there is a word ..
verkackt .. means /err/ f.cked up .. :)
got any cookies left?
I hope you feel better.
(((HUGS)))
Mmmmmmmm cookies...
I just had my witty comment deleted by the cyber gods. I shan't repeat it.
I sure hope you're feeling better by now. My wife has had many adventures with prednisone - it definitely has a great short-term effect, but long-term? Watch out! But aside from that, I wanted to ask if you look at my post today. In it I give another award to add to the long list you have already gathered. It's one small way I can say thank you for sharing your insights, your pain, your great moments and always your wonderful writing.
