Good Morning Everyone!
I am, by NO means an armchair quarterback; (coulda's, woulda's and shoulda's really have no place here now anyway). But I do have a few comments about my Pack.
Am thinking it wasn't enough that our defense has been ailing a bit, but now our offense, and most specifically Brett Favre?
Dang. And Double DANG!
Not surprisingly though, "Mr. Rodgers" stepped up to the plate, and surely was amazing. What a neighborhood we had on the field! hehehe

Surprising to me though was Mr. Romos' great sense of humor when interviewed afterwards. When asked something about what his thoughts were about playing against such a great quarterback, he replied, "I thought Aaron Rodgers did a very good job." (It was midnight, and I was laughing out loud in the living room).
Guess you had to be there...
hehehe

And about your ability to watch... (Miss BEEP <<click there<<, watched it on her computer). I am not sure how many households were affected by the blackout of this game, but I think these words sum it up perfectly...
"It's a shame most of the country missed seeing this game because it sure was worthy of a bigger audience than the NFL Network can provide."
Quote stolen from HERE

After coming on here this morning I was intrigued by a blog from the UK. Written by a man; and with a mans chronicled perspective on his diagnosis and treatment for hypothyroidism.
I too have been hypothyroid since Casey was born, and forgive my language, but it's a b*tch to treat correctly.
He has written many interesting tidbits of info since learning of his hypothyroidism.
>CLICK HERE< to read his blog. He is a great writer!!

~~From there, (and after reading too many medical pages), I went to another website to find out a few things about Vitamin~B~12...
SO MUCH INFO there. (For a site that just wants to sell B~12 skin patches).

>CLICK HERE< to read about B~12 deficiency...

What I'd found most interesting was the possibility of not only my thyroid being affected by such a deficiency, but perhaps even Caseys chronic pancreatitis disease as well. (And it would make sense that we would share a common dietary deficiency as we eat the very same things).

Here are just a few people who need a bit extra B~12 in their diets.

  • Vegetarian and vegans
  • People over the age of 60
  • Individuals with pernicious anemia
  • Individuals with Chronic Fatigue
  • Gastric bypass, and gastrointestinal disorder patients
  • Athletes
  • Autoimmune disease patients
  • Chronic pancreatitis patients
  • Crohn's disease patients
  • People with Malabsorption syndromes
  • Thyroid disease patients
  • Individuals with symptoms suggesting multiple sclerosis (ms4a)

    Containing many articles of research from Canada, Colorado, Wisconsin, Turkey, Australia, Maryland, Sweden, New York, and Belgium, it also has lists of BOTH physical AND psychological symptoms, and exactly what can be relieved/allieviated by getting an adequate amout of this in your diet.

    >CLICK HERE< for those research columns...

    "There is little question that many patients exhibiting symptoms of Alzheimer's actually suffer from a vitamin B12 deficiency. Their symptoms are totally reversible through effective supplementation. A low level of vitamin B12 has also been associated with asthma, depression, AIDS, multiple sclerosis, tinnitus, diabetic neuropathy and low sperm counts." (Quote from above web page).

    'Diabetes, ulcer meds, (and acid suppressing drugs), breast cancer... gastric bypass, vegans' and others absolutely need to know this all. Please read and forward these links on to your friends/family who may be suffering needlessly.
    And yes, on my last trip to Bay Natural Foods I did pick up a bottle of the sublingual tabs. I have NO idea WHY I picked them up either...
    I have not begun to take them yet, but I sure will today! As will CaseyFace.
    (Sublingual, under the tongue, because this is a very difficult vitamin for your body to process if eaten).

    OK. Off my soapbox now...

    And on to shoveling... Wait, WHAT????
    My windy, cold, and blustery forecast came complete with a Winter Storm Watch this morning. Blah. Blah. Blah.

    • They are still unsure of how much snow we will get, but they guess anywhere from 4" to 10" by the time all is said and done.
      It is to start tomorrow.
      Methinks knowing this all, that I should be outside getting the little plow on the Cub Cadet, and putting those chains on the tires too.
      Damn anyway, it is only 13 degrees...
    • And so, I am gone to freeze my fingers off!

    Love to all!

  • GRRR...I can't make these stupid bullets go away.

    XOXO

    Green Bay Packers Fight Song
    .
    .
    .
    Go! You Packers Go!
    .
    Hail, hail the gang's all here to yell for you,
    And keep you going in your winning ways,
    Hail, hail the gang's all here to tell you too,
    That win or lose, we'll always sing your praises Packers;
    Go, you Packers, go and get 'em,
    Go, you fighting fools upset 'em,
    Smash their line with all your might,
    A touchdown, Packers, Fight, Fight, Fight, Fight!
    On, you Green and Gold, to glory,
    Win this game the same old story,
    Fight, you Packers,
    Fight, and bring the bacon home to Old Green Bay.

    Good Game Day Morning to ALL!

    Yes, this top picture is of our hallowed ground of Lambeau.
    Somewhat akin to "The Frozen Tundra" this morning as we have all of TEN degrees here.
    The sun is shining, but sure isn't doing much good
    (save for the light).

    How I wish the Packer game was in Green Bay tonight... hehehe

    This 'wait' for kickoff will be a long one... And I shall have to nap before the game, as I have been up since 2, with not too much sleep before that...

    .-With a win this past Thursday over Lions, the Packers are off to their best start since 1962, when the team also started the year 10-1. That season, Vince Lombardi led Green Bay to a 13-1-0 record en route to its eighth world title in franchise history. The best start in franchise history came in 1929, when a 10-0-1 record led Green Bay to its first NFL title under team founder Curly Lambeau.

    How do you like me now?

    .

    .

    .

    And so, without further ado...

    .

    .The Packers and Cowboys represent two of the proudest and most popular clubs in the NFL.
    They have combined for 17 NFL championships (Green Bay 12, Dallas 5) ~and eight Super Bowl titles.

    .-There is no disputing the most memorable game between the two clubs. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Ice Bowl, the 1967 NFL Championship, played between Lombardi's Packers and Tom Landry's Cowboys. It is widely considered the greatest NFL game of all-time.

    Love to all!

    Two years after he co-founded the Packers with Curly Lambeau, George Calhoun began writing a piece called The Dope Sheet, which served as the official press release and game program from 1921-24...

    Do the click above, it's all a great read about both teams!!!
    (Lots of links too).
