Just wanted thank everyone & let you know I took a print out of your posting to Kat this evening. And I'll print out the posting that you wrote after I had left. They ment a lot to her. She also has the Green Light Luck Duck to keep her company - So between it & you notes I think she will have a better night. Thanks again.

Well now ain't this some shit? Father JoeBro who like to had an everlovin' conniption fit over the healing threads of old, decides that in kat's case something should be done!!! So what does he do? I mean, let me get this right here............Healing thoughts don't work and prayer offends some people.....uh, huh.......but toasting a beer can bring on something magic.......that'd be about it then?   AND I notice he immediately got several takers!!!

Well Jesus H. Freakin' Christ on the proverbial cross!!!! You mean we had all them sillyass fights and threads running ad nauseum and all we needed to do was go for the healing power of beer instead of the healing power of good thoughts and prayers? Well shitfire..........***shrug***..............Hey, works for me...........

Okay.....Let's get it straight then. Are some beers better than others for healing? Let's say Harpy has a boil on her ass or maybe Rasmussen tore a nail getting into his pocketful of songs. Problems yes, but not life threatening. Do we go with something like a Bud or an Iron City? Someone with, say, cancer gets the Sam Adams or Guinness?   And where do the hard ciders rate? What about ales and stouts? Most importantly, what brand?

Ya' know there might be a way to make a few bucks on this thing............Healing Beer. Whaddaya' think? We bottle it ourselves!!! Mudcat Cafe Healing Beer. Maybe we can get Creflo Dollar or somebody to endorse it for a few bucks on the side. Take a 6 pack when you visit your friends in the hospital instead of those lame ass flowers. Can you imagine how much more fun it would be to visit hospitalized friends??? Maybe someone in really bad shape ya' know? You walk in and there are a hundred people in the room blasted on Black and Tans and Boilermakers!

Alright Joe.....whatever you say man..........I admit you kind of surprise me with this sudden turn into revelry and all, but....................

Okay katmyluv........I don't know how sick you are or where it rates but the best I can do tonight (since it's all I got in the fridge) is a Michelob. Hopefully that'll be plenty to kick your ass into high gear!!!

Hey, Spaw - I grew up in Milwaukee, where a beer and a bump is the cure for whatever ails ya.
It works, too. I can attest to that.
I'd better have another right now. I'm sure it will make Kat feel lots better.
Here's to ya, Kat!!!

if egg nog or hot toddies contain the same healing powers, then
then i sip to you!! and if i could slip you some raisins, molasses,
kale, or other iron-rich goodies, I certainly would be smuggling some in to you, or hope someone does! Vitamin C helps iron absorption and hemoglobin production. Iron-rich foods include raisins, meats (liver is the highest source), fish, poultry, eggs (yolk), legumes (peas and beans), and whole grain bread.
I hope you will be laughing again soon!
hugs to you.

I used to think anaemic was an Irishman that only came half up your leg [don't go there!] till I met Kat. My Mother had this problem and they gave her iron tablets, that caused another problem so they gave her laxatives, but eventually it sorted itself out, and I'm sure that will happen for you Kat, you'll soon be sorted out too. Sounds like it's got to be Iron City though!

Do what the doctors tell you and soon you'll be able to join Joe in hoisting a beer in your honor. I do wish you well and will check this thread often waiting for the good news.

Oh, my love, lets get iron pumping into that body! Just relax and let it happen. We're pulling for you!

Hmmm, sounds like Guinness is the best answer for iron-poor blood. Or some spoonfuls of blackstrap molasses. I know which I'd prefer!

Loads of love,

Just checking in to see how our sick kitten is doing. My cold is over - at least the part where I get some sympathy - so I guess you can have all the attention now. I thought you had bronchitis? Now anemia and low blood pressure?

Rest. Drink the Guinness if they will really give it to you. And then rest some more. My Duck is at hand and we think of you often.

   Balancing meds can be tricky, I know, but that's why those of us who (used to) work in the business recognize that medicine is more art than science.

beadie and Joe -- Leinenkugel. I know it's Chippewa Falls and not Milwaukee (formerly known as "Sudsville-on-the-Old-Polluted-Bathtub"). I've always preferred it to Milwaukee holy water, though at one time (as late as the '70s) you couldn't find it in Milwaukee. And this year I couldn't get back to replenish my supplies.

Kat, it's gonna be Guinness (it's good for you) or Smuttynose Robust Stout.

Kat, get better -- I'm having trouble coping with you AND my sister in the hospital on the other side of the country from me.

Kat ma Darlin.
I hope today they give some peace from the poking and proding and that you get a well deserved rest....
I won't be partaking in the "Beer" cure as the strongest thing I drink is Green Tea...and when you read these jokes you will understand why I have never drank...lol

So in totally bad taste (which I know you will appreciate),
Here's a list of things you do not want to hear in Surgery, which You of course will NOT be going through but hey! your in a place were they do that kind of thing so without further ado...
You do not want to hear a Surgeon say:

Oops!
Has anyone seen my watch?
Come back with that! Bad Dog!
Wait a minute, if this is his spleen, then what's that?
Hand me that...uh...that uh.....thingy
What do you mean he wasn't in for a sex change!
Damn, there go the lights again...
Everybody stand back! I lost my contact lens!
Well folks, this will be an experiment for all of us.
What do you mean, he's not insured?
Let's hurry, I don't want to miss "Bay Watch"
What do you mean "You want a divorce"!
FIRE! FIRE! Everyone get out!

and if that isn't enough:

A man speaks frantically into the phone, "My wife is pregnant, and her contractions are only two minutes apart!"
"Is this her first child?" the doctor queries.
"No, you idiot!" the man shouts. "This is her husband!"


alright alright enough already...I'm sorry.....:>)
I am still with you Darlin. Candle burning and all the Healing Energy I can muster coming to you.
With all my Love, Light and Blessings

Well, Kat, the !@#$-reduction candle will get fired up for you in a couple of hours when I go home for lunch. Daniel's home, so he can kep an eye on it. Like it or not, you're getting good thoughts and prayers from me right now, young lady. Getting good thoughts for anemia recovery from a steel producing town (well, it was when I was younger) seems to make a lot of sense. I might just have an Iron City for you when I get home tonight, just to follow spaw's erasoning. Besides, I'm out of Guinness.
