    No snow here goils. Well there were a few flurries a couple of winters ago and we would be right up the creek if it did because we don't have the infra- structure to cope with it. It snows in the mountains of South Island and in the central North Island where we have world class skiing. The south gets two or three good snow storms a year which always cause havoc.

    OKs I really dose need a big drink but will have to wait for later. My family is sending me more cuckoo than normal, well actually my sister's family. They would makes great sitcom but no one would believe it. Da problem I ends up having to sort tings out and Ise so sick of it.

    Goodmorning, Loungettes!How is everyone this ayem?Got a storm coming in, looking to get all my
    visits done by midday and head home early.Did find out that there's nothing particularly wrong with the car, they
    couldn't make it do the hitching thing it was doing, so the dry ice must have
    fixed the problem.Going to get a sensor
    replaced to hopefully get the check engine light to go off, to the tune of
    $400.Could be worse, I suppose.At least I know there isn't anything really
    wrong with it!

    Chevy--sometimes I
    for get that any one can be reading what I post on the threads.Oh, well, I guess life isn't perfect after
    all.Oh, wait, I figured that out March
    9, 2007.But it is important to know
    this isn't as private as I might think it is.

    Goldie--my patient
    was in his 80's, had a long and happy life, and a large and loving family that
    misses him.The tatts I got were"the usual size" I was told.

    Nice Hump Day
    pic!

    ORLA--What is it
    with car problems all ofa sudden?Sounds like you are starting a letter writing
    campaign, good for you!

    Aly--Would love to
    hear the story line of the sister-family sit com!

    Julie--if your voice
    sounds a bit off maybe the callers will take pity on you and cut you some
    slack?

    Julie--YEAH!!!!!!

    DorKable--Wow, God
    Mother and Mother in the same facility, must be a good one!

    Princess Glitter
    Sizzle's DOTD is the Snow Melt

    1 oz Vodka

    1 oz Amaretto

    (Fill to Top) Hot
    Chocolate

    Directions

    Pour Vodka and
    Amaretto into a coffee mug then fill with prepared Nestle Hot Chocolate.Top
    with whipped cream or marshmellows and cherry.

    Yeah Elizabeth Dahling, if a person can't make a drink, they are not allowed in The HTL! At least the mods have our back.

    Lara, congrats on the new job, but bummer about your car. Ok, mese funcused. Did you get a job in hotel industry or with a school? What are you doing?

    Alyson, if the family drama is funny, you can share it and give us all a laff.

    Cami, I am VERY careful in what I click on. VERY!

    That's us Julie.....BADASS!

    Oh Dort, that is kewl that youse Auntie will be wif you mom. How nice if they could be in the same room, then you could tell your daddy that she is there to keep an eye on you mommy.

    NM, peace of mind on your car is good, but darn, they couldn't find anything??? Glad you will only work part of the day, and get home before things get bad. I don't think your tats are "usual", more like UNusual. Like I said, you can barely see mine, I think Cami said hers were small. Who else here had rads, how big are your tats? Glad to know that your patient had lived a lovely life with a loving family. Thoughts and prayers for his family, and you too. It must be hard when you become attached to your patients. How could you not though, you're a nurse!!!

    Well, who all has been hit with this storm? Can I get a weather update from everyone?
    Sunny and pushing 70 here in northern AZ.........sawry goilies!

    Good Morning Ladies

    Oh my Lori in the 70's hmmm--well we're not. LOL But Most of the storms are going all over the place this time even south, which is a little unusual for this time especially they are having a lot of snow and ice and all around us. I think we're getting snow but no one is really saying how much--could be a little or loads cuz they don't know. I watch on the news all the weather stuff and cars are just rolling into cars and trucks--it's a mess. I'm sure everyone's premium will be raised after this winter.

    NM I'm glad u'll be home before all the crap starts for u, u can be safe and warm with Sadie. Oh Hot chocolate drink yummy

    I watched the Beatles again last nite and I'm still singing (in my head) I get by with a little help from my friends, oh I get high with a little help from my friends----Love those words.

    Lori, we have had 14" of snow so far but it is shrinking due to rain. We are supposed to get part II of the storm later this afternoon into tomorrow. I am planning on taking my Dad to visit my Mom and my Aunt in the next few hours while we are in the "calm of the storm before de next storm". I am berry tankful that mese neighbor, Michael Jordan, took his snow blower up my sidewalks and driveway. my car does well in de snow, I have a fancy schmancy "snow" button on de car which really works well. 

    Lara, I hope yer car gits bixed and does not cost too much, hugs to ya (((Lara))). I hope your parents get in safely.

    NM, glad for good news on ye car too. Be safe out dere. I hope yer patients are appreciative of your services. 

    Camille, you sound good, I Hope you feel good too. I praying for ya always. And how bout dat Lori bragging about her 70 degree temps? Why I wanna uh  be with her dwinking and sunning and funning! cheers!

    LARA U HIT ME WITH THAT SNOWBALL RIGHT IN THE EYE--I forgibe u

    Well my DD2 just quit her job--she wouldn't go out with him --fine then he was treating her bad but this is the kicker he asked her to see if she had a GF she would fix up with him and he'd pay my DD---her words--Jagoff, I quit. hahaha she's no pimp--shit I would have done it, for the money but he would have asked for the money back so no sense in it. My DD can't take that stuff, I could and so could my other DD1 but not her==we'd just handle it but she's not like that. Oh well, she'll look for something else in that type of work PT. I'm glad my SIL will make her feel better about all this, she gets over upset and that always scares me a little. She's my bi-polar one, the other one is my Diabetic one--what a family we have.

    Dork drive safely and keep an eye out for the weather if u bring u'r dad to u'r mom and aunt. wow there right next door,

    Not to busy on the phone today but it always seems like Thursday isn't busy.????

    Watching scary movies too Lara

    STOP THE PRESSES NEWS FLASH: 9:44pm EST---8:44pm Colorado time(?)

    Our dear fearless leader Chevy has a broken left hip. She crossed the road to avoid ice, she stated in the interview and this rock got under left foot. She turned her ankle and fell. This was early today 2/13/14. She's been in the hospital all day. She's on Morphine, but she has her wits about her. Her humor intact. Doesn't sound loopy at all. Her DD is at her side, as is DH.

    Surgery is scheduled for tomorrow at 2 pm, 2/14/14. ORIF --Open reduction internal fixation(long rod and screws). She expects to be in the hospital for two days after surgery. Rehab in hospital for two days after surgery. May go to rehab facility. That will be decided later for sure.

    She can't post here because the hospital keyboard is too complicated (shut-up Cami).

    She wasn't happy that this stupid injury interfered with her planned casino trip.

    She asks that Cami do the AM post reviews in the morning on each of her threads.(Thanks Cami).

    Thinking of everyone and sends XOXO's

    Will keep you updated---sassy :)

    OK so, we buried my FIL today. He's with mom now. 66 years of marriage and all he wanted since she passed was to join her. 3 years he waited. I was proud of my kids and gkids today. I even managed to have a nice moment with my son and DIL last night at the motel. We played cards, laughed over DH's incessant losing, had a nice time forgetting for a few minutes. 

    Back to work tomorrow. You ladies have a nice evening. Hugs'n'kisses

    I told Chevy not to go anywhere to much ice in CO but she just had to go to the casino, well she tried to avoid ice but wack she fell anyway--ooohh I told her now she'll have more screws to worry about. I just got done talking to her - she sounded good thank God for morphine now we'll see how well this goes. I hope her healing goes quickly and easy for her.

    Red that drink really sounds good also sounds familiar to me but then again I go back a long way with alcohol.

    Good Morning Ladies---

    Damn didn't sleep much at all last nite-Just one of those nites nothing bad. I hope u all had a good nites sleep. And whoever is in this recockulous weather is safe, just be very careful, I think there are a lot of slippery places that don't look slippery when walking. Well Lori, Julie, Aly, Cyn--oh chit a lot of u don't have to give this a second thought but some of us have to give it a first thought. And it's Fried-day and Valentine's day so that's a great way to end the week for most. Makes no difference to me.

    Talk about a worrier my DD thought we'd be mad about her walking out. She knows better, but that's how much she was worked up and then Joey thought we would loose the house--I said to him she works 3 days a week how much do u think she makes laughing--he got so upset, he's like her chit. I assured him we would be fine.Insanity here. Oh well I have to get some sleep before I start my job hahahaha my big job.

    I hope everyone has a wonderful day and stays safe.

    (((Bernie and Kat ))) prayers and love.

    Dofey I sawry to be bragging, but mese can't help it. I'm just in shock over our temps......and LOVIN it! Some of youse goils are really getting dumped on.

    And Lara, you sneaky lil thing wif da snow balls.

    Cami, def. a jerk off. Your DD should turn him in. He is a class ass.

    Sassy, THANK YOU so much for the update on ED. That is horrible news, and I hope she isn't in much pain. She wasn't wearing those chicken heels was she? Goils, lets all hop the UFO and head to Denver. We have a surgery to attend to! Great job on the "report" there Sas! I'll buy you a drink, what's your pleasure?

    Red, again I'm sorry for your loss, but it sounds like the funeral and gathering with your family was pleasant. RIP your FIL. Sounds like you claiming to be innocent, re the snowballs! When do you start your treatments?

    Cami, glad you got to talk to Chevy too, good to know someone has her contact. The drink that Red mentioned, sounds a little familiar with the Duck Fart, but it has Crown Royal in it, and I skip the Kahlua. Awwww, poor Joey thinking you would lose the house. He is such a lil doll. My weather is being wierd, it's NOT typical for us to have this warm weather. Several years ago, we got 5' of snow in March!

    LOL @ the manholes Dort. You be careful out there this morning. Did you get to take your dad to see mom?

    Nice drink for ED Alyson, maybe we should just take the ice out?

    Kat/Bernie....continued prayers for the both of you.

    I have to scoot out of here early today, gots lots to do in town. Happy Valentines Day girls.

    Good morning,
    Loungettes!Waking up to a foot of snow
    now being covered with a layer of sleet.I'm not going to go out to work for a bit, need my driveway and road
    plowed before heading out.The good news
    is that I have my own car back, with no more check engine light on!So the go-buggy is good to go for while
    again.

    Goldie--thinking
    back, I had let the gas tank get VERY empty just before the hitching started,
    so I probably stirred up some grunge or got some condensation in the gas
    line.I had put in a bottle of dry gas,
    drove the car around the yard for a few minutes and it was still hitching, I
    think I hadn't let it run long enough.Still, it's worth it to me to know the check engine light wasn't for a
    real problem, it was, and I quote, "signaling an engine performance
    change."And they replaced the
    blown out dome light bulb, for free!Send some of that 70 degree weather up this way, lets get the spring
    melt started!!!!!

    Cammy--all the ice
    in the south and other places it doesn't usually happen that salt supplies are
    becoming a problem.There was someone
    from Rhode Island getting salt from a company here in Maine recently, according
    to a news story last night.Even sand
    supplies are getting low!Property taxes
    will certainly be going up again to cover this over budget winter.

    Chrissy--love the
    winebulance!

    ORLA--Good idea to
    put up the family in a hotel during the mess.They can't be shoveling snow that way!

    Julie--LOL!

    DorKable--Good for
    you!A "snow" button on your
    car?What does that do?It sound interesting!My patients are appreciative of my services,
    and I'm expecting a couple will tell me not to come today because of the
    snow.That's another reason I'm waiting
    to go out, less like to get cancellations if the roads have been cleared off
    and driveways plowed out.

    Cammy--Are you
    saying DD2's boss was treating her badlycuz she wouldn't go out with him?Sounds like a good person to not be working for.Good for her!

    Sassy!!!!!!!Thanks for the update, and holy cow, poor
    Chevy!Tell her we're praying for her
    for a smooth surgery, good repair, and swift recovery.

    Red RH--Yeah, cars
    are a necessary expense.My go-buggy is
    paid for, so all I'm putting into it is gas, oil and occasional trips to the
    garage.Probably should think about starting
    regular check ups for it.Sympathy on
    the loss of your FIL, glad for the nice moment with the son and DIL.

    Cammy--glad you can
    be in touch with Chevy and she's doing well!

    Aly--pretty
    dirnk!Do you have the recipe?

    Cammy--poor Joey, so
    young to get so upset about grown up things!

    Princess Glitter
    Sizzle's DOTD is the Snowball

    1 1/2 oz Advocaat
    Liqueur

    4 cubes Ice
    Other Food

    1 slice Lemon
    Fruit

    10 oz (Cold)
    Lemonade

    Directions

    Place one ice cube
    in the glass and add 1 1/2 oz of Advocaat. Fill up the glass with lemonade and
    decorate with a slice of lemon. Serve at once.

    Side note:  Some drink recipes say to "serve at once."  I've often wondered, are there really people out there who mix a drink and don't drink it as soon as it's ready?  Are there some people (probably blondes) who need to be told to DRINK the drink they just made?  Really?
