puffy face ad lathargy are the big things,,i acnt wke up at lland ioi dont wnna do aything either..why not,>? the weather is great,i hve so many ideas,,im scared - i htnk thats my problem,and i dont know wht to do,,my fingers hurt so bad right now to type i'm using only two-2 fingers to get it done ...10-4-over...come back....

Can Rheumatoid arthritis cause depression?
In: Health
A:
Any chronic condition, especially painful ones, can increase your likelihood of becoming depressed. Conversely, depression may make many conditions worse. Treatment of both usually yields better effects than treating only one or the other.
ok then......just wondering...
the army was here again last night




well,i feel MUCH better this morning,i think that bug is going away, i had a massive coughing attack last nite and took LOTS more NyQuil and did manage to knock myself out,,but its hard to sleep when you can hear your own lungs rumbling inside with breathing,,but the coughing has decreased and the tickle in my ears and throat are gone /// still have rumble in my lungs -waking up -RA in feet is what i felt- first as they hurt to touch down to the ground this morning BUT hey-no problem,im used to that,, walk softly


OMG the army was here again last night,,he brought his photo album, with his love- a beautiful quarter horse dark red with a black main and black tail black socks and black tips of her ears,,a real beautiful horse. I enjoyed meeting him ,yesterday i gave a card to him- that said -thank you for all you do for America, and each and everyone of us appreciate the sacrifice they make. i feel proud to know anyone in the military =---im sure that's what allowed me to sit next to Oscar C. for three -four years at cavalry portfolio-just listening to his military stories and what it was like freezing his ass off in Germany with a fence being the only thing between him and communizum,! i mean communism....all kinds of stories that were interesting.he told good stories too.


me at my old job with the guys,,,,

http://www.dropshots.com/debrabmaddox#date/2006 ---wow 2005-2006 uploaded stash of pics i found online,, ppl at wrk and what was going on then,,,wow,ohDa memories -i have to just faugh at myself as i totaly made everything up as i went alongf there,,for all thse years i had ruff and stresss times and had some really reallly ~great~ times -


i made the "army guy " laff tho,,because i asked if kelly could request a mission at aerea 51..and he said " it doesnt exist,, " we all laughed ,that was a great moment, last night-ahhhhh area 51

its is now 7 20 am,,and kellys alarm is going ff saturaday .shes going in for overtime, i drug the trash to the curb in the dark --no-one else had garbage out so i was like,,saturday? had to coem to this cmputer to check on what day it is,,thats confussion for ya! (add- head)

i found ths old pic online photo album from 2007 summer-not too deformed then,, i really have changed in two years,,must do a "compare" shot then and now,,later tho...........
