I have had the most horrible stomach virus since Sunday night. My wonderful husband went to the store and bought me some Pepto-Bismol chewable tablets. I was getting ready to take one or two and I noticed that they are NOT to be taken by anyone on anticoagulants. Apparently they contain aspirin? Just a heads up since it is that icky flu season time of the year here in my part of the world. Hugs all.

Ok the ER dr told me pepto is ok if taken bout 12 hrs after warafin.. but to take Maalox and uh.. crap there is another.. safe one..

My own dr agreed which means nothing.. but i do take the Maalox quite a bit. Go figure.

Hope that helps.. FEEL BETTER GIRLFRIEND!

Hope that you feel better soon!

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
