I'm SOOOO happy to hear that I'm not the only one with piles and piles of paper!!! I have SUCH good intentions, carefully sort into piles for filing, shredding, "need to do this", coupons, bills to pay, bills to call someone about, etc. Then either the dog walks on them, or we need to clear a chair or the table, and it all ends up in one big mess again!!! (I love my ddog dearly, but in her entire 13 years, she has never been concerned about what she walks on, living or dead, glass or paper! Now she even shoves things off the sofa if they're where she wants to curl up!! LOL!)

Mike used to get so frustrated with all the paper, he'd threaten to just push it all into a big trash bag and throw it out! Of course, that made me panic, cuz I just KNEW there was something important in the pile! Poor guy, he just couldn't win! When Sarah and I moved here, we had boxes and grocery bags that had just paper in them, cuz I didn't have time to file it. Guess what! Some of those same piles are still here!!! And about to go into another box for this next move! LOLLOL!!!

I might be overly optimistic, but I feel just a bit better. Took a nap at 1:00 and woke up just before 3, wide awake. Even feel like getting out a little and buying For Sale signs, and some corn on the cob for dinner. Ds is coming over to grill burgers for us. Guess I'd better get some Immodium too, I'm hungry but so afraid to eat anything solid. Cereal and toast from this morning stayed "down" so far, but other end is still in an uproar. :(

Ok, I'm off to get dressed and try to look human again. Boy, those lemon bars sure sound good, do I dare?? Or maybe just make some Chex mix, could nibble on that all night.

Hugs, Pam

Pam for the runs the best thing I have come across so far is rice water. Cook the rice, save the water and drink it. You also need to be on a clear diet of broth, jello, dry toast and bananas. Applesauce also helps. Don't freak, I siad applesauce not apples. The cooking process changes the apples and it does help with runs.

As far as piles of paper YOU DONT' EVEN WANT TO SEE THIS PLACE! My office is a small space in our tiny living room and it is wall to wall books, papers and note pads. I feel embarrassed when people drop in b/c I have to clear them a spot.

Maybe in my next life I'll either be more organized or have a secretary b/c it sure ain't happen in this one:) Hugs, Bernie

Hi Pam, sorry I missed your original "paper problem" post, but I've been busy shuffling my stacks of papers around. NO, you are not alone, and I live in dread of the "cousins" showing up, unannounced! Last time they helped with my papers, they ended up constantly overheating our shredder! Heck, I thought I needed those papers from the 70's!! LOL
