HIYA Loungettes!!! Bet most of youse are habbing Pau Hana right now. I gots ta wait a bit. I def need to get some beer for my fridge up here, could have used one right now with the fishcake I had for lunch.

Lori, the mango mojitos look good! One thing else thats awesome are Mango Margaritas! My DH makes such good ones, even have some huge margarita glasses for them. Wish we could get ripe ones like these, at home. NOthing like tree-ripened mangos, they are sooooo sweet! Didn't get my road-mangos this ayem as I slept, and past 6ayem even! WooHoo those PM pills habs bin woiking!

Yeah Cyn, you are so right....not fun and games for me. Very frustrating, as its hard to get them to focus on what needs to be done. I know it is overwhelming to them, but these are decisions that THEY need to make. Oops...just heard a noise and looked down to the house...my mom came outside and was going to look thru the trash. GLAD I saw her, as she forgot she gave me the letter her cuz wrote about visiting this month. SHe thought she had thrown it away, with his address. So I was able to holler down at her....NOW she will take a nap! This is her first cuz, but much younger than her. BUT he is arriving right when the movers are supposed to do the moving, which is 2 days b4 I leave. Hope they can see him after, as they will stay on a few more days. Luckily the stepsons want the beds and lots of furniture, cuz my parents can use them till they leave.

OK, rambled on LONG ENUF!!! Thinking of all you girls, and wish you all were here ont he lanai, and we could drink and look out at the water and the islands, and "talk story" (like they call it, here) in person! OH, this is funny, most of you know that "Okole Maluna" means "bottoms up", as okole is your bottom. Well, I just tossed a napkin holder that said "Okole Maluna"! LOL. We need that in the HTL.

Okay, surfs calling me......

Hugssssssssss! K'aloha

Hi goils.  I am ketchin up so commenting on several days ago.  But gotta make this post now as DH home n I need to get dinner going.  Will be back later...

Kathy - NO AC???? Now I know why you not sleeping.  I think dat why I slept soooooo good in Otis.  Window wide open 40 outside at night.  Wonderful!!  Hey, can you mail me some a dem mangos?  j/k  About da implants.  I got my 1^st set of foobs when I was jes 23 yoa. and I flashed them allllllll the time and even showed my mom.  She thought they was beautimus...LOL!  I miss my mom...she was such a hoot!!  I say....YES...let da movers do da packing...with you supervision of course!  So glad he was smart enuf to take your moms purse for safe keeping but not happy of da scare it put on u and ur mom. 

Juliet - too funny poochy sitting on dat cat, n chocolate motivation for da treadmill.  And of course...Maxine is my all time fav!!  And now I realize how far behind I am...wet kitties...oh meeeessseee! 

Orange - dese goils makin pun a ewe spwellin...les see dem git on mese fers mine.  Alli may be da queen of da louibibill but mese gots da ‘make my day' speshall!  And I missed where ewe sed you were born in Nov (I kno it was 1973).  I's a Nov baby too, but old enuf to bees ewe momma.  Hey...what day in Nov...I'm da 6^th....aint telling ya da year.  j/k  About your TE's....sad...(((Orange))) OOO and a BIG ASS DWINK TWO THREE FOUR!!!

Dorka - I wudda lubbed ewe to come wif me to Portland and den to Otis.  We could all go to Otis next summer.  Ya'll love brothers B & B.  Da treehouse sleeps 4 peeps too.  See also my response to Lori.  Glad you are keeping busy, but glad you been taking time to stop in to da lounge.  And such sweetness to Orange...yes I think you can relate the most to her right now.  And sweetness to Undy too.  I think you are right.  My BS would not have let my PS in if I'd opt'd for the bi-lat.  She wanted me to heal 1^st, oh, and of course she would have done rads to my chest wall too.  But generally, I think that the way she operates and I love her to death.  So rads or no rads, I think you are spot on about Undy n the healing 1^st. 

Undy - I gots ewe on me calendar.  Will b weel widdle whilst ewe under da goot drugs.  Will makes sure docs do da rite thing...n Alli b der wif her louibill slugger too.  Kno you'll be glad to git rid a da ‘stuffed' bra thingy too.  Funnee ewe 3 youngins talking about da big 40....hail...nuttin to it.  I'm wif Lori...wait til ya hit da ½ century mark.  But ya kno, now...I actually look forward to turning another year older...never thot I'd say that before RB. 

Lori - gotta comment on your beautiful DD...love that mask and I bet she adorned her shirt too.  Sooo cool....tank ewe fer sharing!!  Yeah yeah...dats it...mese didn't invite D cuz she wud rather go to HI...yeah yeah...das right...teehee...tanks Lori!  Hey, did the Ponds woik.  Always did for me when I crew up like dat.  Jes threw away 3 tubes of crew-up las week.  LOL.  Cept wif Ponds, feel like I gotta wash dat off after it gits da mascara off.  But, lesser of da 2 evils mese guess.

NM - Hope da new job op pans out.  My SIL in Otis has been a nurse for 4 decades.  She is now some head something at Tillamook Hosp in OR.  She was noticing my skin scales n scabs, not a lot, but bothersome so I didn't worry.  She told me to go get a shingle shot, to insist on it even tho I'm not quite 60.  Said something about immune compromise with da RB and fact my mom had it etc.  Watch you think, you ever hear of this?  N about da ‘who's da youngest' contest, I seem to remember a ‘who's da oldest' in dis group too.  Do you remember who holds that esteemed title???  Does anyone wanna jump in and claim it...mese forgets...jes I kno I'm not it...LOL  Love the Fukitol Shower...never seen dat before!  And hey thanks for the info on the superglue.  My friend had a BAD fall in OR.  Cudn't get in for stitches within in the allotted time, so next day the doc glued him.  So cool.  I remember a friend in MT would get horrible splits in the skin of his fingers by his nails and would use superglue, jes didn't kno it could be used on a bloody, deep, wound.  Cool! 

Bernie - mese missed you and ewe funnies. 

Beans - no worries, you will be in you new cabin soonliest I hope.  Try not to stress about things in Hoth...K?  And what NM said about the blue tooth....I wudn't be without mine and plus, in Nev it's the law when driving, jes in case you didn't kno dat.  :-)

Later Ladies!!

good morning Juliet.

 Hi D, it's summer here - well it should be but we have been having torrential rain for weeks.

Good morning, Loungettes! Lovely sunny morning here, going to be warm but not hot, perfect day for sightseeing and visiting! I am so looking forward to meeting Elaine later this morning. This is going to be such fun!

Goldie--thanks for saying I'm not a bad patient! I like to think that I've come to know my body pretty well, but maybe it's just the control freak in me coming out. I always feel better when I'm in control of things!

Orange--hydro land is a good place to be for a while, enjoy your trip!

Undy--walking is walking, very true. Just take your pills and take your naps in between your walks and you will do just fine!

CynCyn--multitasking is a good thing when you can get away with it. Wish I could get away with it during some of my meetings!

Wahine--It's hard to watch our parents aging, isn't it? Glad the PM pills are working, even if it does mean you miss out on the road-mangos! Keeping them on track must be hard work. Bottoms UP, indeed!

DorKable--funny how it's always women who are the butt of the bad driving jokes, but it's men that hit YOU! Definitely the wrong kind of man magnet car! I got a real size reduction in the boobies, too, and I agree it is GREAT! I haven't worn a bra since recon surgery and LOVE it! Now if only I could have a widdle ass. . . And the Wed am meeting wasn't cancelled, but the pm meeting was, which is a good thing because I was told there wasn't one in the pm when I called Tuesday. Makes me so mad that there can be these meetings scheduled but not put on my calendar and I'm supposed to show up for them. Ah, well, not going to let that bother me today!

Mema--playing ketchup? Fun, fun, fun! But you do a great job of it! Yes, I have heard about the shingles vaccine, and it is recommended for people who have had chemo. The chicken pox virus lives dormant in the nerve roots right where they come out of the spine, and under stress and/or depressed immune functioning (nothing we ever have to deal with, right?) they can wake up and cause the shingles rash/burning/pain. The theory is that the immune system keeps the virus dormant but the number of circulating antibodies decreases with age (accounting for the increased in shingles in the older population) or when the immune system is stressed/depressed (can you say "chemo," "surgery," "rads," and "worry"? ) Contrary to popular belief, coming in contact with someone with shingles or chicken pox doesn't trigger shingles. HOWEVER--someone who has received the shingles vaccine in the last 21 days CAN transmit the virus to someone who has not had chicken pox. An adult receiving the vaccine can give an unimmunized infant or child chicken pox. Likewise, children who have received the chicken pox vaccine in the last 21 days can give the virus to an immune compromised adult (like someone on chemo) and give them what is called disseminated disease, which is very serious, can be deadly. From the full prescribing information: "
Each dose contains 31.16 mg of sucrose, 15.58 mg of hydrolyzed porcine gelatin, 3.99 mg of sodium
chloride, 0.62 mg of monosodium L-glutamate, 0.57 mg of sodium phosphate dibasic, 0.10 mg of
potassium phosphate monobasic, 0.10 mg of potassium chloride; residual components of MRC-5 cells
including DNA and protein; and trace quantities of neomycin and bovine calf serum. The product contains
no preservatives."
Oh dear, looks like I got into lecture mode this morning!

Wahine--wish I could have been there swimming with you! Reminds me of one of my favorite memories--I was on a shore excursion from a cruise, many, many years ago now, took a catamaran sail to a secluded cove in the Carribean, forget what island, and spent a lovely afternoon just floating in the gentle waves, with the white sand beach on one side and the cat on the other, no sound but the gulls, waves, and boat creaking. Warm water, very relaxing, timeless. It still makes me relax to think about it. Tourquise, clear water, deep blue cloudless sky, ahhhhhhh. No mangos, though!

Morning, Bernie!

Princess Glitter Sizzle's DOTD is the Mango Memories
1/2 oz Banana Liqueur
1/2 oz Coffee Liqueur
1 oz Cachaca
10 sliced (fresh) Mango

Orange, you sound a bit excited about being able to pick your bra size, cute!

Shannon, that Stella can be bad, but she can be good too. I hope she doesn't get caught high jacking the likker truck. If she does, that moler focker can bail her out. I got you a nice cool place to go swimming. And I all ready to get teeny tiny and hang wif you tomarry. Any idea when you might be able to check in? Are you staying over at the hospital or is it one of those drive by's. Do you have anyone staying with you, besides your DH? (I believe you are married, but you don't talk about DH much, yes?) Hugs and thinking of you.

Cyn, since you overstayed at the bar, you moosta had a good time? My mom is as good as she can be, thanks for asking. How are the kids doing, are they driving you crazy or are you really enjoying them? How much longer is your DD there? Will she be there for your surgery?

Kathy, so so glad you are getting some sleep. I like those PM's, but only take them if I'm really whooped, as they make me feel groggy in the morning. I think if we were all up on the lanai drinking, it would fall! But oh what fun we would have, eh? The way you tell of what you do while you're there, really makes me feel like we are there with you, even the packing part.

DorK, I will join you for some drinks in yer pool. You look very very sexy in ur new bathing suit. Glad every thing worked out from the accident. Oops, nebermind, I see weese going to de ocean to swim.

HURRICANE? What hurricane?

Hey Suzi cootie pie, weese glad you home. No, most places in HI do NOT have AC, as they rely on the trade winds. When we were there, we only went to ONE restaurant that had AC and of course our rooms did. So if there are no trade winds, which there wasn't much when we were there, it is HOT. I think it's more the humidity than anything. Your birfday same as my moms. How cool to have the bungalow in a tree house, did you get pictures of that?

Funny farting cats Julie....lol.

Bernie, should we start on an ark for you? I can't remember making them for Junie, as she always got so much rain.

NM, have a SUPER DUPER time today. We can't wait to hear all about it and hope you can share some pictures. You know how we all like pictures!!!

I think we need MORE MANGO'S

Here we have MANGO COLADA ICE CREAM

And a MANGO PAPAYA ICE CREAM DAQUIRI

2 cups mango-flavored juice blend or mango nectar, chilled

2 cups fresh golden and/or red papaya, peeled, seeded, and chopped

1 cup vanilla ice cream

1/4 to 1/2 cup golden rum

2 Tablespoons of honey

Papaya, mango, and/or lime slices (optional)

Combine mango juice blend, the chopped papaya, ice cream, rum, and the honey in a blender container. Cover and blend until smooth. Pour into 4 to 6 tall chilled glasses. Garnish each glass with the papaya, mango, and/or lime slices, if desired. Serve immediately. Makes 4 to 6 servings.

mema ,they don't reccomend the shingles vaccine to anyone while they are undergoing chemo or rads because your immune system is supressed so it would be worth asking at your next appointment when they reccomend you do get it,have a good day everybody.   going for a nap as neighbours woke me up at 3am this morning. but good news at the pcp,bloodwork and visits now 6 monthly
