The Kitchen Table

have to have a CaT scan this morning...

17 years ago

On the way to trying to get a colonoscopy, my Gastroenterologist (who, by the way, is the one that read ALL my tests, scans, exrays and told me I had cancer, when 4 radiologists said I had infection and my GP said I was depressed and needed prozac! LOL) was pushing on my gut and felt something wrong around my aorta. and got me in for a scan as soon as possible. I need to leave in 15 minutes! lol

oh, and I got my colonoscopy scheduled! finally....

well, off to drink my last bottle of barium...

ciao for now!

see ya later alligator!

GREYLADY-GARDENER: I am not sure if I have enough japanese anemone 'Pamina' for you. I might be able to get you a tiny piece but I don't know if it is worth it. One of the people that wanted 'Pamina' hasn't confirmed this trade yet and hasn't been on here for 10 days now. If he is not coming for some reason any more, you can certainly have his, but I hold it for him until I know otherwise. Do you have pink single japanese anemone? I can't find a name for it right now. I could give you a much bigger piece of that if that is something you are interested in. Let me know what you would like to do. You can also wait until I hear from Capehlke. CAPEHLKE/CHRIS: I hope you are still coming. You haven't confirmed our trade yet. I am still holding 'Pamina' and mini tan iris for you. Please, let me know. Merja

1)MyWay Search Assistant for Dell Computers. This CLSID or Class id--> 4D25F921-B9FE-4682-BF72-8AB8210D6D75 tells us it's Myway search Assistant for Dell Computers. First, no big deal on that scan, The My way search assistant comes preinstalled on some Dells. Super AntiSpyware removed it cause it's classified as adware! "Adware applications, toolbars and browser extensions may serve advertisements even while you are not surfing the Internet." This application may serve various types of advertising, not limited to pop-up ads. This stuff below is all the things that Myway Search Assistant installs, First it installs the process Process DESRCAS.DLL This is the file path and location of the process: C:\PROGRAM FILES\MYWAYSA\SRCHASDE\1.BIN\DESRCAS.DLL And these are the registry entries that are made by Myway Search Assistant. Clsid or Class ID. HKCR\CLSID\(4D25F921-B9FE-4682-BF72-8AB8210D6D75) HKCR\CLSID\(4D25F921-B9FE-4682-BF72-8AB8210D6D75) HKCR\CLSID\(4D25F921-B9FE-4682-BF72-8AB8210D6D75)\InprocServer32 HKCR\CLSID\(4D25F921-B9FE-4682-BF72-8AB8210D6D75)\InprocServer32#ThreadingModel HKCR\CLSID\(4D25F921-B9FE-4682-BF72-8AB8210D6D75)\Programmable C:\PROGRAM FILES\MYWAYSA\SRCHASDE\1.BIN\DESRCAS.DLL HKU\S-1-5-21-2567871069-2602521732-2068354608-1006\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Stats\(4D25F921-B9FE-4682-BF72-8AB8210D6D75) HKCR OR H_Key_Class_Root key. That's the registry key that the CLSID or class Id installed to. All removed now! Then adware tracking cookie Those are a fact of life on the internet get them from everywhere. They also have all been removed. This scan has nothing to do with the problem you describe!

pear leaves have black flecks (scanned leaves included for diagnosis)
Q
Comments (2)
This disease has spread and progressed to many of the oldest leaves on my tree. Asian pears seem unaffected. Here are two additional leaves, plucked this morning. I've been following an organic spray schedule, but I wonder if the disease pressure in my area (Raleigh, NC) is too high to rely on sulfur for control. If this is a fungus that can be treated, I'd consider spraying with immunox, as it comes highly recommended on this forum. However, I looked at the label and I don't see approval for use on pears. Only flowering pears are listed on the label. Is immunox actually approved for use or do I need to use something else?

I hope your CAT scan brought you good news. I'm a bit confused about some of Gastroenterologist comments, did he catch cancer or misdiagnose cancer?

Oh! sorry, brody! He diagnosed my cancer. He was right when all the other docs and radiologists thought I was crazy! lol

Well, I'm here! So there wasn't anything really bad, or I figure I'd be in the hospital. I don't imagine that I will hear anything until Monday. So, I guess that IS good news! thanks for all the prayers!

Liz! are you going to have any time here? Or just time to clean up after all the passengers? lol
