Mayhem Marauders Meet-up Part Deux!

[Amy]

The spiciness of something containing jalapeño peppers in in how they are seeded. The spiciness comes from the seeds (more specifically, an oily coating on the seeds, made primarily of capsaicin). If the pepper is seeded correctly, without the seeds being really disturbed, the pepper itself won't be very spicy. But I'm with you, I'm just a little hesitant. Ok, I'll admit it, I'm a spicy food baby. But yes, having friends and family who are willing to "taste and trade" is great. I wonder if they would make one drink then pour it into 2 or 3 glasses so we all could just try it.

From the people on here that have had them, it sounds like the drink itself has a bit of a kick, but you're ok if you don't eat the peppers like boilerdude did
Interesting thought on getting one with extra glasses. I don't know if they would do that or not...

Glad to see all the Jalapeno Margarita talk! Makes me feel right at home!

Sorry I haven't been around much lately. Lots going on. And poor Mouseoholic is going through some rough times with her health. Last week I had to rush her to the emergency room. We think it was another ruptured ovarian cyst like last year. This one was worse. I was fighting back tears myself just trying to comfort her... she was in so much pain...
Then, on top of all that, she's been fighting a sinus/respiratory infection (probably picked it up in the hospital... ), and is still battling all the other crud that stems from her messed up thyroid (the Grave's disease is really doing a number on her). I really shouldn't be airing all our dirty laundry like this, I guess, but you guys have always been so supportive... I hope she won't mind.

Anyway, that's just the tip of the iceberg of things that have been taking up our time and keeping me away from this happy place. As for the photo CD, that's another fly in the ointment. They finally sent us the photo book (a special memento that we created on line with some of the pictures from the photopass), but still no photopass CD! It's driving me crazy because I don't know what the problem is. They've never done that to us before! I don't even know who to call, or even where to start... Mouseoholic always handles this stuff... so I can't do anything about it. I've reminded her to look into it again, but the poor thing just hasn't gotten around to it. I'll remind her again. Sorry, MmeLeota...

Oh my, M-dude! What a lot to deal with! Please give Mouseoholic our best wishes for restored health!

Oh my! I had no idea of the extent of Mouseoholic's health troubles. I know F1gment wasn't all that keen on me sharing anything here about her illness, but I appreciated all the extra support and prayers from everyone. I hope get to a place where you can both just settle in and enjoy life again. Take care of yourself too. Can't have you getting sick while you're watching over her.
That's odd that you are having such problems with PhotoPass. I thought their system was pretty efficient.

DUDE!!! You should have said something to me. I am praying extra hard and you guys will be remembered in our prayers!!! If you need to talk, even if it's about nothing...well I have nothing but time right now!! I'm here for you!!;+>

[Soarin08]

I'll expand in my next email but... my gosh, M-dude! That's terrible for Mouseoholic!! Oh goodness...

[momeja]

Poor Mouseholic. I hope she's better soon, and I'm glad she has you, M-Dude, to take care of her while she recovers.

[Sleepy90]

Oh dear sounds like you guys are really going through it at the moment, hope things start to go better soon.
Will some pixie dust help?

Pixie dust always helps.

[yodiwan1]

M-Dude please give Mouseholic a big hug for me! Thinking of her and hope she gets better soon! My sister went through that for years when she was only a teenager, so I know how trying it can be. Good Luck!

[MmeLeota]

No worries M-dude!!!! I know you guys have a lot on your plates right now and I've been thinking about you guys tons lately...and I don't want to be a bother to you either. It's odd that there have been so many issues with the Photopass CD. But thanks for the update anyway.

Please take care of yourself and Mouseoholic...and you have my # if you need to vent or just talk...same goes for M-oholic too.

[Soarin08]

I'm trying to think of someone you could contact for Photopass.... but I'm coming up empty-handed. I don't know that much about that segment.

Oh yes, also, M-dude, update email heading your way soon today! If anyone else would like to email me ever at all (I text MmeLeota and M-dude when I have news or other things and there are those of you on Facebook), don't hesitate to ask for my address!

[Mousekedude]

Thanks, everybody. Your support means the world to me. She's doing better, and has been going to work, but it's hard on her and wears her out. I don't know what we're going to do at this point. We just have to wait and see how it goes. She knows she needs to schedule some doctor visits, but is really tied up with her responsibilities at work right now, so she hasn't set any appointments. That kinda bothers me, but I understand. She has a lot of responsibility, and her company depends on her to be there doing what she does best. I know, I know... her health should come first... but what am I gonna do? I can't make her go to the doctor if she thinks she can handle herself... *Sigh*...
Anyway, thanks again for the pixie dust and stuff... no doubt it really helps. I'll keep y'all posted. So sorry I can't participate more in all the mayhem. Hopefully I'll be back up to speed soon.

[Jacca5660]

PRAYERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Soarin08]

I'll try to get my email out today, yesterday was just nuts working here in Celebration then immediately going over to V&A's for a few hours after that... as you all can see, at work now.
