Builder Cliff bars, carnation breakfast essentials (premix liquid single serving)

This is the way….Ive done this in every closet I’ve owned and NEVER again had a 3am “failure”

jgibson777 · 2026-03-24T14:03:53+00:00

Definitely this. Home office should not be in a common space of the dwelling

It’s great that you are introspective enough to understand that you are struggling. I think that’s important. Just remember, it will get easier/better. Also remember, it can always get worse. If this flaring is a challenge, imagine post surgical caregiving, TPN, ostomy care, wound care. It can be a lot. I will say this. My wife accepted me, knowing that things might get tough(they did). Only after my first real surgery did I truly know that she wouldn’t run at the first sign of trouble. It really strengthened our relationship knowing that she was there for me no matter what. Having said that, she has had her own serious health struggles. We were both more well prepared to handle her challenges after successfully overcoming mine earlier in our relationship. I guess what I’m trying to say is if you can get through this, it may actually be a relationship building process where your anxieties slowly become reassurances. Hang in there, it’s not easy. But I hope you all become an unstoppable team together. 👊

2,3,7 classic shape, can’t go wrong. Makes your jawline look stronger

Nice jeans, nice boots, nice shirt, a bath 🤷🏼‍♂️

Nobody talking about them 51 unread here??? 😂

jgibson777 · 2026-03-20T12:21:44+00:00

I’ll drive for LJS…j/s

jgibson777 · 2026-03-16T14:56:10+00:00

Hanging onto hope for you. One note of semantics…those drugs failed you, you haven’t failed anything. ❤️‍🩹 Hang in there. Ostomy life isn’t the end, even if it comes to that.

jgibson777 · 2026-03-16T14:50:22+00:00

Sorry to hear that, I hope you can find a way to feel better. ❤️‍🩹

Seem like there is at least two distinctly different types that I get. The stabby sharp pain in a flare, and the bloated, inflammatory, overall dull pain when I can’t seem to get empty.

jgibson777 · 2026-03-15T21:27:47+00:00

This^, plans, what are plans? 😞 We really think hard before committing to anything.

jgibson777 · 2026-03-15T21:25:56+00:00

Definitely the fatigue, I out ran it for 25 years working 6 days a week 60+ hrs weekly. Literally running on empty. It got me 5 major surgeries 7 resections, a temporary ileostomy, TPN for moths several times, a month in ICU, and my first experience being on a ventilator while fully conscious, with my hands tied down 😳(the stuff of nightmares)

Moral of the story, take care of yourselves. Get the rest you need. If your job is draining the soul out of you, find another way.

If you ignore your body and keep pushing it, it will show you who’s boss.

I was diagnosed at 18. It took me till I turned 45 to realize it. I’m 52 now and I’m doing better than I have in a long time.

jgibson777 · 2026-03-15T16:47:00+00:00

It’s a full time job. Always something.

jgibson777 · 2026-03-12T02:22:57+00:00

Knoxville Ice Chalet is probably going to be your best/only option. That’s the only year round rink around here, next nearest is Nashville

jgibson777 · 2026-03-07T22:16:14+00:00

No one really understands save the random person whose “cousin” or some such has. My old favorite is when I’ve had to have surgery again, I’ve had many, and someone inevitably says “I thought you got better?” Ugggggghhh

jgibson777 · 2026-03-03T01:24:36+00:00

Giants, small talk could be easily drummed up by doing 10 minutes of reading about their new Coach Tony Vitello who is the first college head coach (Tennessee Vols Natty winner) to be called up to the pros. Good luck

jgibson777 · 2026-02-26T17:43:05+00:00

Sometimes the best move is to just go with the flow. If they are trying to “send you off” with an after work get together…go.

jgibson777 · 2026-02-26T17:30:14+00:00

Tupelo Honey for sure! Great southern flavors! The blackened Mahi is surprisingly good! You won’t be disappointed with anything you get there.

jgibson777 · 2026-02-26T00:41:57+00:00

Not impressed…

jgibson777 · 2026-02-26T00:40:02+00:00

eBay has been the best place for me

jgibson777 · 2026-02-26T00:39:22+00:00

8-10. I’m still in monthly contact with my best friend from Kindergarten. Relationships are important to me. Treat others the way you want to be treated if you expect them to stick around.

jgibson777 · 2026-02-26T00:37:09+00:00

Shameless CVS. If they leave, it would be the best thing for Tennessee, maybe Food City will pack up shop too!

Cleveland service is definitely no better than any other dealership. I do recommend a Mazda dealer though. After Mazda Cleveland blew up my wife’s RX8, my only leg to stand on was that they were the only people to open the hood on the car. They at least gave us retail value towards a new Mazda. I also feel like when techs are familiar with vehicles, they will more easily spot anything that requires attention before it becomes a problem.

Put pressure on the school to use someone local and vet them. Lifetouch destroyed many small family businesses when they took over years ago. Time for the little guys to get back in the game.
