Happy Thanksgiving to Me!
« on: November 15, 2011, 10:49:23 am »
So I'm not sure if many of you remember when I was scared shittless of a "blimp" I had last moth in my viral load. Well good news! My VL is back to UD and my CD4 jumped from 780 to an amazing 1184. The only thing I changed was my diet. Vegetarian for an entire 3 weeks. And it's not so bad :-)

Perhaps you mean 'blip' instead??  

A blimp is illustrated below:



Edit to add:  Happy Thanksgiving too !!  Enjoy your holiday w/o being scared shitless any longer.

I am so grateful I have not had a blimp yet. That blimp looks scary as shit!  I have been told I look like a blimp at times but then again...that is why I am doing a fast paced 3 mile walk everyday.  Congrats on getting rid of your blimp.  No place to park those damned things!   :D

Deep frying turkey is the way to go (yes, the frying oil can be reused).
