what about,mums gout??? and wheres me profile gone?

what  with  my  own misery  just  lately, pain in  my  ankle  is  so much worse  i  now wear an ankle support, and  editors  choice,etc.i  forgot  to write about the person  this  journal  is  really  about,well  a  lot  of  it anyway.  my  mum.   it  wasn't until someone asked  me how she was  i realised  i hadn't updated  on her  gout  lately.  and  there  is a very  good  reason.   IT'S GONE.   ( hope this  desk is wood  because i am touching  it as i write  that.)    well,just  about  anyway.   ever  since  the last  time she went to the chiropodists  and  saw  that  male  chiropodists  her  feet  have  been  so much  easier.  the  uric acid  crystals  have all but disappeared,and  she  is  much happier  for  it.    If  only  the  arthritis  in her  knees   would  do the same.    she  really  is  suffering  with  them.    but  small mercies  anyway.      least  she  can  get about  a  little  bit  easier.  tracy  still comes,the  fact  she  only  comes  now  for  15  minutes  seems  to have  been  forgotten,as  tracy  gets  here  earlier  to compensate   lol.   she still  the  same  tracy.     no comment   lol.   mum  likes  her,and  they  get  on   well.   that  is  worth more  than  anything.  i am finding  driving  so painful  my  right ankle  gets  all  the  work  when i drive,but  this  support  does  help.       just  enough. and  of  course  i  rested  it all  yesterday.   coughs.      ermmmm   ok,  i  did  a  little  bit  of  gardening.    strimmed,cut  hedge,edged  grass            shuts  up.           look,it  needed  doing,and it was  a lovely  day.and  it  took  me  6  hours.   but  i  do  rest  every  few  minutes.  i  have  to.but  if  i give  up        at  least  trying        to  do things  normally,i  may as well give up altogether.        not likely anytime soon.        so   don't scold me lucy  lol

Now,some of you may have  noticed  that  our profiles don't seem  to be  on view at  the moment.     not  noticed??  try  it.   see  someone on your  buddy  list??   ok      lets  click  on  their  name,click  buddy  info  and  read  their  profile....................it  says  system error      please  try  later.    and  has  for  past  few days.      so?  well,i use chatrooms,and  its  nice  to see  who people are,   also  though  if  someone  leaves a comment  on your  journal,and  you don't  know them   its  good  if they  have a profile.  at  least  you know  if  they  male,female,etc.       my  profile  is  quite  long.   ( romantic    one  dear  lady  called  it,load  of  bull**** some  more  sensible  people say.lol)   and  contains  a  lot  of  pictures.  over 100.       so  i went  to a lot of time and  trouble  to create  it.       and  no-one  can view  it.         why??        so  today  i went  on  aol noticeboards,they can be found  in the chat and community  section  on quick start.      sure enough  someone had  asked the same question i was going to.  why can't i view profiles???  the  answer  can  be  found  in  the following  link   AIM Profiles - Changes Are Coming to Your Profile Experience!    snappy  little  title.     basically,your  AIM  profile,which  was  AOL  member  profile,is  going  to  be replaced  by   Bebo  profiles.   Bebo  is a social  networking  site         now  owned  by  AOL.    i  shant  bother  writing  about  it,please  look  yourselves.          the  bit  i find  annoying  is,  if  we  want  to  keep our  profiles  we  must  move  them to  bebo.or  they  will vanish.  on  september  15th         now  i  have had  no  details  of  this.      no  emails  from  AOL.  nothing.  so,  i  have  signed  up  to  go  to  bebo as  they  ask,apparently  my profile  will now  be  uploaded automatically.     but  AOL   should at  least  tell us they are  doing  this        and  soon,surely?      in the  meantime    if  you  wish  to view a members  profile,in the long search box  along  the top of  your  screen  type   http://aimprofiles.aol.co.uk/       followed  by the  screenname          if  US   aol   it  is   aol.com/         hope  this  is  of  interest.    please  make  sure  your  profiles  arent  lost  to  the  ether.

september  tomorrow,soon  autumn will be  here,and  we have  had  such  a bad  summer.   let's hope  we get  a nice september  and  make  the most  of  it.    take care all
