I know its getting late on the east coast, but seeing if anyone is up for a chat?
Didn't really want to gate-crash people's existing chat threads.
Nothing specific. Just feeling lonely after feeling a few blows today. Just one of those days to roll with the punches until you can progress the issue at hand.
Its ok if no one is up for a chat. Thats the nature of a forum. But I wont know if I dont ask.

@Chasingsunsets Thanks. And yes your wish cam true, for i did pick up a little later this afternoon. Although i still have bad acid, but trying not to use anti-acid tablets, for they have a lot of calcium carbonate in them, and such keeps producing me painful kidney stones.
Unfortunately i'm between a wall and a hard place when it comes to nausea and acid reflux. For the crappiest is that any sign of stress and i'm in trouble already.

@Chasingsunsets i've been to the doctors a lot about this. They do not know. i have had many tests. As a matter of fact i'm awaiting a call from hospital for more stomach scans. So far nothing helpful has come up.
This has gone on for years already.😢

@Chasingsunsets Sadly the mother duck lost another duckling and has 9 left over. The crows have been trying all yesterday afternoon to reduce this number even more but she kept all 9 safe so far.
@AlwaysMyself @Shaz51 @tyme @AuntGlow
i have been struggling with nausea but my moods have been fine, so that is greatest. i hope all of you are also doing well.

@Chasingsunsets All in all in little disappointing. This morning i felt well. Then soon after noon i think i began dropping. That crappy feeling feeling my stomach tightening telling me my body is stressing. Out of nowhere! i've been struggling holding onto my good life, listening to music on youtube, and chatting on SANE.
Feeling a little psyched up and in need of releasing a little pressure.😁
i hope you are all okay? @AlwaysMyself @Shaz51 @tyme @AuntGlow
