So I was telling my sister what happened when I woke up with a black tongue the other day (see this post). She told me to go on Google and search it. So I did because I hadn’t done that yet. I came across an article on Wikipedia that said:

Pepto-Bismol has been known to cause one’s tongue and stool to turn black. This form of “black tongue”, however, is a result of the separation of bismuth from salicylate, forming bismuth trisulfide (Bi2S3) in combination with the sulfur found in saliva.

Bingo! I took a Pepto-Bismol chewable tablet before I went to bed which resulted in me waking up with a black tongue in the morning. Woot!! Now that mystery is solved. LOL!!

[Edit:] Brushing your tongue with a toothbrush and water helps remove the blackness.

Have you ever considered lap band surgery? Don’t know what it is, well I’ll explain.

According to Wikipedia, lap band surgery is a weight-loss procedure. A permanent prosthetic ban is placed around the upper stomach. It creates a small pouch that limits the amount of food you desire to eat.

I personally know a few people who have gone with this weight loss procedure. One of which actually went down to Mexico to undergo her surgery because it was less expensive than other places. How did she end up after her surgery? I can honestly say that she started losing pounds quickly after coming back to Canada and has maintained a proper weight for her age.

Lap band Mexico procedures cost just under $8000 which is an affordable price for those who want to undergo this surgery procedure. You can go to places such as MyLapBandSurgery.com who provide information and surgeries at great prices.

MyLapBandSurgery.com and The Betancourt Medical Center provide these surgeries:

Wow…this morning was a little hectic for me. I ended up sleeping in until 1pm. I was just too tired and was in the dream world for awhile. Anyways, I was suppose to go to the mall with my parents and to the Portuguese community downtown. I didn’t go because I was just too tired. Well, when I woke up at 1pm, I headed to the shower. I shower in the morning and like brushing my teeth while in the shower (less mess and I don’t have to worry about getting toothpaste on my shirt LOL).

What happened was when I spit my saliva, it came out black not the typical white saliva. I thought to myself, I didn’t eat nothing that was black. The last thing I had was a pepto bismol chewable because I had an upset stomach last night. So when I got out of the shower, I went to the mirror and looked at my mouth.

MY TONGUE WAS BLACK!!!

This freaked me out completely because I never had my tongue go black ever!! It’s gone pink and blue due to candy or freezes, but NEVER BLACK! So I was in a panic because I couldn’t come up with an explanation as to way it was that colour. So I was already planning on going to the doctor immediately. Then I decided to see if I could brush it off with my toothbrush. Viola! It started brushing off as if it was some kind of ink or dirt that was on my tongue (both I know couldn’t possibly be). I’m still in shock over it because I have no clue what could of caused it to turn black. The only thing I can think of is if I somehow had a piece of my bed comforter in my mouth because it is leopard print and has black spots. But then again, it’s fabric and not ink or anything of that sort.

I’m completely stunned without a reasonable explanation.

These past two days haven’t been good at all for me. I’ve been feeling really ill and just drained out of life. I have even been staying in my bed more than what I should. I know it’s not from the heat because we have air condition in our house. It’s not because my diet because I have been eating nutritional foods and taking vitamins. I don’t know what really drained me.

So, I avoided the internet and only logged on a few times rather than me usual 24/7 online fest. I took some Advil hoping it will go away because my thoughts are just consuming my head right now. I hate icky days that just make you want to hurl and curl in a ball in your bed.

Have you ever played with a pool table? I have, and let me tell you, it’s the most fun thing ever!! It even more fun when you are playing against family and friends.

You can get some great pool tables from BostonTables.com. They have a wide selection available. They come in a variety of colours, sizes, and woods. If you are looking for a good one, I suggest you invest at least $2000 to purchase one.

These pool tables are great for any recreation room that you have in your house. They are also awesome for when you have guest over. Definitely a big hit at the party.

If you are looking for a way to have quality time with your teenagers or even some friends, then get a pool table from BostonTables.com. You can’t go wrong with the selection of top pool tables they offer.

*Yawn*….I went to bed super late last night because my sister (who is a teacher), had to finish her report cards that night. So she was on my computer doing that and I was using hers. I know, we switched computers? It seems that the internet runs faster on my computer than hers. Very weird I think!

Anyways, my younger sister is coming over today. We are heading out to get our hairs done at the salon. Hopefully they do eyebrows because I need mine done. Anyways, I’ll post a photo later. Cya!
