Oh lord, this was a bad idea for sure. The tonsil thing isn't so bad, but the splitting headache I've had for 4 days is bad. Worst headache of my life. It's from my neck all the way into my forehead, and my ears ache. It's day 5 of recovery for me. Of course my throat is sore, but that's really no worse than a case of strep throat, the ears and headache are bad...not even liquid hydrocodone touches it.
I've found icecream isn't all that great. I'm lactose intolerant to begin with, but it just leaves my throat so slimy and thick that it isn't worth it.

I whipped dog butt over that. It was their misfortune I was watering at the time, so I whipped them both with the garden hose. DH's dog still looks at me sideways, but I don't care. Skeeter still loves me. Foghorn recovered just fine and is back to being himself.

We had a major disaster and DH and my boys are in Texas dealing with it. Long story short, DH's ex wife stopped paying on her storage unit. Normally that wouldn't be a problem, except the unit is in DH's name since she refused to switch it over. I got a call yesterday and they told me it was going to go to auction, and that the remaining balance for the unit would go to collections. So, I got stuck paying her $500 storage unit fee. That left us with either letting it get auctioned, or going to retrieve the stuff in it...well, the stuff in there is worth way more than $500 so the boys left this morning to go get it. DH called the ex yesterday and she said she didn't care that it was going she couldn't afford the payments anymore (at $120 a month, if that tells you how long it's been since she paid it).
So, I get to enjoy going through all of that crap and getting rid of it. I already figured all her clothes and stuff are going to goodwill, and the rest I will just sell off. An entire dining room set, living room set, etc. I'm keeping the ATV in there. Since we were legally obligated to pay it, I dont even feel bad about selling and getting rid of "her" stuff. It's been in storage since February 2014, when DH and I put it in there after she left their house trashed, but threw this huge fit over wanting her stuff out of it. Some people, I swear.

Ooooo!!!....sorry bout the headache, but sure Glad ya are among the "Living".....didn't know ya was "Intolerant", just having a reflective moment from childhood....that's what we used to say to those getting their tonsils out when we were much younger.....:)
Good to hear Foghorn is fully recovered from his ordeal. There are some people that aren't worth wasting breath over cussing them out.....but, it sure makes ya feel Better when ya do.....;)

I couldn't help but think of Storage Wars' "YUUUP! guy when I read that.

Also reminded me of when wife and I first got together...she had a storage rental in Odessa Texas I had been paying on for several months and she wanted to go retrieve the stuff out ofit, so one Sat morning we took off for West Texas. When I rolled the door up and looked, I thought..."I been paying rental and drove 1/2 way across Texas to keep this crap?"
Mostly kitchen stuff and my wife doesn't cook anyway.
I could have replaced every bit of it new for less than $400 and we ended up throwing 1/2 of it away in the place's dumpster anyway.

Some people, like my wife, must keep everything even though it hasn't been looked at in years.

I don't think so...From what I've read on this board, memory is far from being the first thing to go..
