The Party Posse’s destination — Lemon-aideonline
It’s time to take the Party Posse on another ride. Hop on the train and keep your hands inside the cart at all times. If you missed the first party let me explain what we’re doing.
I thought it would be fun to take the VIP Lounge to someone else’s site. As you know, the VIP Lounge is my comment section. My peeps are fun! We have a party daily and I like the idea of having a progressive party on the internet. Hence the Party Posse.
Head on over to the guest pad, read the post and leave a thoughtful comment (none of this “Great post” stuff.) Hopefully we can leave up to 15 comments.
Today Square Peg Guy took me up on my offer to showcase one of his favorite bloggers. He recommended Kerry’s post, “Barometric Pressure’s Effect on our Physiology.”
Thanks for the suggestion Square Peg Guy! You are the first (alright, the only) person to throw a hat into the ring. To Kerry’s place we shall go.
Here’s an excerpt to get you in the party mood.
“Are we living barometers?”
I happened upon this article from Wellness Options Magazine and had to share it, as many of us with chronic illnesses experience a worsening of our symptoms when barometric pressure changes and wonder “Why”?
Through the years I have searched the web and asked questions of doctors as to why my symptoms and level of function worsen when the weather changes –- warmer storm fronts moving in and out, in particular. I have found it difficult to find answers or information.
(Excerpted from the magazine article) Changes in weather can also induce short-term swings in mood, emotional well-being, and behavioural aberrations.
Some of the meteorological variables implicated include: temperature, barometric pressure, rainfall, humidity, thunder-storm activity, sunshine, and the level of ionization of the air.
She has eight comments at last count, let’s push that number up to 23. Go forth and comment!
Dunded.
A very interesting choice of blog post.
Thanks Solomon. You are so reliable; I like that in a commenter!
I’m going to comment now!
There’s 10 comments now!
(Jumps up and down) Now there’s 12 (as of 9:14 am Eastern Standard Time)! Thanks Hannah!
Another song for another Party Train: Buckwheat Zydeco’s Choo Choo Boogaloo! Damn, can I be in charge of tunes on this ride?! And is there a bar car?
Oh yes, there is absolutely a bar car, Lin. Let me post a photo for your viewing enjoyment:
My club car is similar, only no animal prints. Unless you like them. Then they’re there.
And yes, ma’am. You can pick the music each time the train leaves the station!
fyi: my bag of throw away comments over flowith, so i’ll have to dump one here:
great find. left a thought.
whew. so much better on my back.
how are you???
Woo-hoo! So glad you could dump the throwaways and move on with a solid statement. Well done! I’m okay, how you doin’?
Ok…I’m feeling totally rejected over here. I’ve tried posting my comments on LemonAide’s page at least 3 times now. So CG if you are feeling generous I’ll put my comments down below and you can add them to her site.
One of the members of Cardio Girl’s party posse dropping by. Great post and article. I know that there is a connection between weather and the body. Personally, I will get migraines when the weather changes, in particular when it feels like it’s going to rain. Also, like CardioGirl, I struggle with depression and weather definitely affects that.
Solomon mentioned the connection of the moon on a woman’s cycle, I remember information regarding that so I think that it is true. Also, if you think about it, the moon affects the tides. The human body is like 80-90% water. I wouldn’t be surprised if the moon did have some effect on our bodies as well.
I think we are slowly moving towards a place where both science and natural remedies, etc can peacefully co-exist and supplement each other. My personal opinion is that we need to approach such problems from a whole picture perspective and not just narrow in on the specific symptoms.
That’s not right. I will copy and paste that bad boy over there. I feel smarter already pretending to be you, Buf!
Alright, I’m back and it’s done! You are number 15 on her comment list. Thanks for going above and beyond to participate, Buf! Way to go!
Uh oh, what’s the difference between the bar car and a club car? Animal prints? Meeeoooow! Price of drinks? I’ll have a Whiskey Head Bump, please. Or is it just the “Club Car” is snootier? We may be trash on the bar car, but the tunes are better here.
And why is my bar car empty? Am I the only boozer on this crazy train?! Say it isn’t so.
Merely linguistics, Lin. A case of tomato/tomahto. Drinks are on me, baby. This is the Party Posse, after all.
I’m certain you are not the only boozer on the train. I’m going to hire a conductor and I’ll slam some Whiskey Head Bumps with you back there.
Does this mean I have to comment again? :)
Actually, I think I will. I have an anecdote to add.
Yessiree it does. And it looks like your comment got us up to 17 over there! We only have six comments left to reach today’s goal!
Oh, and thanks, CG!
Any time, SPG. I’m already working on that character quiz. I think it’s going to be very fun. What a great idea and a fun read!
no Lin, I drink too (but haven’t lately since i’m looking for my janet jackson abs) and please make sure you have some Jazz CDs on the bus. there is nothing smoother, but folgers coffee – bring that too. party music on the way and jazz music and coffee on the way back.
where’s my white russian, Lin? if it’s not made right, you don’t get a tip.
Is the Folger’s Columbian? I need strong coffee, but not too strong. I can’t take Starbuck’s. And I’ll bring the Sade CDs.
Hey, Natural–who said I was making the drinks?! I’m on DJ duty! Sheesh, it’s like being at home–do I hafta do EVERYTHING (big dramatic flourish)?! Well, I’ll make you a little something, but I’m not really good at it. Maybe we can convince Joe to come–he makes really good lemon drop martinis for me, so I’m sure he’ll make you a White Russian.
Oh, I gave up looking for my Janet Jackson abs a long time ago and settled for that easier-to-find Janet Jackson ass.
(whispers) There is a bartender. His name is Thor.
