Antacid abuse? When is it too much?

Posted by Ray Kemble @ray666, Jan 4, 2022

I'm embarrassed to say that I've been an OTC antacid abuser (Tums, etc.), often eating them like candy. Now I'm wondering if my various gastrointestinal discomforts might have been caused by the abuse. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

OMG. Now I’m laughing out loud too and also filled with happiness for you! If I wouldn’t incur serious bodily injury in the celebration, I’d be doing some backflips and cartwheels for you! There is nothing quite like the feeling of good health when your body is functioning properly!!

I have to say, Ray, in my year of being a mentor with Connect, this is one of the most entertaining and, dare I say, ‘productive’ posts I’ve had the pleasure of responding too.
I’m so glad everything came out in the end. Giggle.

Let’s not let this be the end of our conversations, k? 😅

Lori,

As you must know, our exchange has meant a lot to me. Will it be all smooth sailing from here on, who's to say; at the moment, though, I couldn't be more pleased with how much better I feel today than I did only a few weeks ago. I too would like our conversation to continue.

If you like, my "civilian" email address send me a private message. Don't be misled by the ".edu," I'm not a college prof. I worked for going on twenty years for the Colorado Shakespeare Festival, which is a program of the University of Colorado in Boulder, Colo. That's why the ".edu." I'm retired now, however, making do on a modest pension, while supplementing this income by writing (and a little acting, when I'm offered a juicy role!).

Otherwise, I'm happy as a homebody. I have a life partner (a poet); she has a home of her own two miles from where I live. We have been thinking about combining households, yet protecting hers and my much-needed solitude. A challenge!

I'll stop at this point. I fear I'm at the threshold of Too Much Information. 🙂 I'll close, hoping also that somehow we continue our conversation

Cheers!

Hi, Colleen

I should have known that. My apologies. I'm sorry that you had to step in.

Best wishes,
