Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy New Year's Eve! I hope everyone who has plans for the evening has a lovely and safe celebration. My wish for those staying home is a peaceful and pain free celebration. Sadie and I may or may not stay up, haven't decided yet, will depend on if I can find a good countdown show to watch. Otherwise Sadie and I are just going to putter around the house today. Inside the house, where it's warm.
Jazzy--things can be fixed, yes, but I can imagine the feeling when you noticed the stone missing. I am glad it's not the big stone. I feel for the small doggies in this weather. Sadie has trails run into the snow so there are places where she can squat and do her business. When she goes off the trials she sinks up to her belly in soft snow. The snow is deeper than some little doggies are tall here! I don't really do the New Year's resolution thing any more. I guess I am re-committing to the decluttering and maintaining the work/life balance that I started in the spring. How 'bout you? You got any resolutions?
Chi--It must be hard not to keep in touch with Gordy when he's away. Maybe a once a day text? That's not constantly and would help you feel reassured. Be careful with that walk, it's long enough for any exposed skin to get damaged. Hats, gloves, scarves are necessary for that walk!

NM, that Frozen Pair looks pretty yummy to me. Poor Sadie, not wanting to go out. I guess you Can't blame her,eh? Perhaps that cold on her paws is painful, just like a hot asphalt can burn paws. Never heard of that Pecorino cheese, and I don't think I have ever bought heavy cream. I assume it's with the milk? I don't know the differences between heavy cream, half and half, evaporated milk, etc……LOL. Did you find the Marketplace on FB?
Jazzy, all of my decorations are put away. Oh wait, I didn't' take any out! Sorry about the lost stone, hoping it turns up. But how nice to have a family heirloom ring. No resolutions here.
Sandy, hope you don't freeze your tushy off!
No big plans here. Roasting hot dogs outside and maybe some cheap champagne!

Good morning friends- woke up to a lovely sunrise here to great the last day of 2017. I have come to observe the
NM- yes, my heart sort of sank when I saw the stone was gone. It is turquoise cabochon, so it should be less expensive to replace. But my guess is I will need to get two to get them to match and then redo the setting which in the end, won't be cheap. I actually have the ring separately insured on my homeowners and going to call the insurance company on Tuesday to see if the policy covers this jewelry fail, or if it is strictly for complete loss through theft or other means. I will get the info from insurance and then may just park the ring in safety deposit for awhile. I did do a lot of cleaning yesterday with the hope it might turn up but nothing yet. I checked the car too. Sigh.
I don't really have New Years resolutions, but sort of do have what I call NY intentions and goals for 2018. I divide them into categories like work/business, health, relationships (with everyone), home and arts/music/travel. Some are things I have been working on for awhile, others are completely new. Some of the bigger goals include hopefully paying off my home in 2018, competing in the senior Olympics next summer with my swimming, reaching my five year cancerversary/coming off the AIs in March, take a good vacation somewhere (thinking overseas maybe in 2018). I also hope to loose the last 15 lbs I am trying to take off too! And de-cluttering to me is now a lifestyle thing so it just goes on and on and on.
Goldie- I did minimalist decorating this Xmas too, usually true for me each year. I have my Xmas cards up on a door with masking tape to have them centralized and not cluttering surfaces but those are coming down today and going in to recycling. It is nice to not have the big chore to put things away, right?
Chi- whoops, I had Gordie coming back when in fact, he was on his way. I hope it all goes well. It sounds like your home will be busy for the holiday.
A woman on the singles thread popped in yesterday to note I had posted 10,000 times on BCO since I began in 2012. She said how she has been following me for awhile and said how much she liked reading my posts and that they were supportive to our sisters here. Wow! I was floored, but glad to hear I have helped others in some way. I may not be able to be here as much in the new year (work travel), but plan to stick around for the foreseeable future ladies.
Time to get on the yoga mat and to my day. Got my last laps to get in today and some take out to pick up for tonight. I will be out tomorrow at parties and will catch up with you ladies on the other side of the new year! Be safe and blessings to everyone for the new year!

Hello my girls and Happy New Year's Eve day to you all! I have missed you girls so much, I just don't get in here enough these days.
I go back to the PS next Friday for a follow up on my belly bebridement. The dr pulled out some mesh. He said if it does not heal up this time i will have to go into the hospital to clear of the mesh down to my abdominal wall in the area that is troubled. I really do not know what that means. Sadly, it looks like I might be heading in as the healing is not going well. Ugh, story of my life with this now seven year recon journey. AND I hope to one say get my right saggy foob lifted and bixed up(ward).
NM, wow it IS cold there. I thought it was cold here with the windchill at zero but you take the cake. I am glad you have Sadie to keep you warm and also happy that you are using that space heater regardless of your electric meter spinning round and round at high speeds! We only live once and it is important to keep oneself comfy!
Lori, love the entertainment center and the desk. So sorry about your footsies and your hands, I really feel for you as they look so painful and for you to say it is getting worse makes me so sad for you. You are going through the mill. Just know I love ya lots and if ya ever need to pitch a bitch, I am a call away.
Cam, sorry about Christmas day, wish you felt better. And bidness is really good for Dan but can he get someone to cover for you once in a while so you can rest more? It is recockulous that you are called all hours of the day and night and that your sleep is disturbed. As for Leslie, I am heartbroken to hear that the chemo is not doing its job. That effing sucks the big one. Please tell her she remains in my heart and I think of her often. My heart breaks when I see here on facebook as I know how she is really doing through you. Do keep us updated. Hope your trip to Dan's goes well and that you LOL the while time.
Sandy, wish I could see some of your performances, said it before saying it again. Hope Gordie made his flight ok after the delay. Stay warm, I know it's cold in Chitown too.
I am going out for NYE with my cousin, a friend from high school and her husband and the friend's sister and brother in law. We are supposed to watch fire works tonight but I mighten be staying inside the hotel after only 15 minutes of that. Zero degrees with the windchilld is jest too darned cold for this old girl. I will try to touch base with you all again tomorrow.
Hello to Karen, Jazzy, Cyn and all other goils I missed. Love all my goils, off to the bar for some dwinkies. Jack n coke, its what's for breakfast!

Hope everyone is enjoying their holidays. DH and I are getting near the end of our road trip. Currently in Roswell, NM (chilly here, chilly everywhere it seems). Moving on to Carlsbad for the night, then dinner, Stanger Things on Netflix and maybe a cocktail.
0 -
Ill- you are in my part of the world. Roswell is so fun, have not been over there in years. They have a jazz festival every fall I keep telling myself I will get to some year. Glad you are enjoying your time away!
CeliaC- seems like its cold everywhere! I think you were smart to stay in. I am in tonight too and enjoying some cab and enjoying some "reflection time" on the year that has been and that which is yet to be.
Dara- sorry to hear about the ongoing issues from the recon sister. That just stinks. I hope you can get this worked out and to feeling better. I know you have new work coming in the new year too.

Good morning! Back to woirk for this girl...up at 4am for my 5am start...sure is better than 3am...every second counts when it comes to sleep...
So happy to be back to my happy place....sorry for all of you girls up North where its freezing ...our planet is just so jacked up...global freezing....However here it has been a comfortable 71 during the day. Today is supposed to be rainy and cold...ick. NM I sure don't blame Silly Sadie .....If its too cold for humans its too cold for fur babies.
Chi...what did you end up doing? Walking or Uber...I'm a huge fan of Uber but a 1/4 mile isn't that much of a walk really. Hope you enjoyed your dinner.
Jazzy...I am thankfully home! Hella drive from Austin TX to Venice FL...in the cold and rain almost the whole way.
Dara Dahlin....your sill suffering with wounds and failing foobs? You poor girl...perhaps you need a Florida Vaca????
Donese goes home tomorrow....We have been together this visit for about 6ish weeks so its going to be odd to not have her by my side for a time.
I hope everyone had a great time ringing in the new year....we went to bed way early because of this work BS.
Here's to a fantastic 2018!

HAPPY NEW YEAR LADIES------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope everyone had a fun night last nite, I was woken up at midnite for New Years wishes and no one makes resolutions anymore, why start the year just lying to ourselves.
No one really left the house much since this weather is horrible and all plans got cancelled, plus some have some flu-colds too.
Dara it's so good to see you but sorry about ur recon, it's been going on so long I feel so bad for you, I hope u don't need the hospital again. But u do crack me up with ur pee sample, ONLY YOU DARA, for sure--Wish Cheryl a Happy New Years from me too.
Karen I hope this chemo is so much easier on you and u can enjoy your DD more.. U know I know nothing about all this, but both u and my DD got that stupid red devil first thing and personally I think that's a strong one to take first, but as I said, I know NOTHING. I do remember getting it with my second time of chemo but not the first.
Wow Ill u and ur DH make a great pair having fun, so good that u r.
NM we're cold here too and our Sox runs in and out, he's no fool, like people are.I put my little heater alot right now, since my room is small it works wonders.
Lori extra prayer for you we all want those numbers to go down. It seems like most of us had a quiet Eve, age I guess. I really rarely went out, we always had parties, to me that was more fun.
Jazzy I enjoyed that video, those 2 are a great team. And I can certainly understand why ur posts are appreciated, they always are.
Sandy u'd better not go walking around in this weather, u can get frostbite in a matter of no time. And I'm anxious to her bout Gordy when he comes home and how his trip was, so make sure u tell us all.
Wow this phone hasn't stopped nd the guys charge more during the nite and they still want them, well I know they've called around, but I feel bad when I tell then how much it will be. but I have to and then yes then I say Happy New Year, just what they want to hear.
Oh Oh now for the better part, I talked to Leslie as did her GF and she's following everyone's advice---not to get the recon right away--<NM> and demand both taken out and her GF helped her with the email nd the Surgeon answered and said she would take both at the same time and other points u ladies wrote, she listened to all of you and I'm so happy about that. Since I didn't have recon, she just figured I was telling her cuz I was trying to make things easier on her from a mom's point of view, cuz the plastic surgeon was fine with it. So thank you for all advice it was so appreciated and taken well. Well I knew it would be great.
OK have a wonderful first day of 2018 <yeow> and see u later.
LUBS U ALL

Hey Cyn right in the pewl, which would be frozen here it's so cold but in our lounge it's always the perfect temp. I'm sure u will miss Donese after being together so long. Hoping ur 2018 is great.

Jazzy, sounds like you have a great year planned, good for you! I show your posts currently at 9999! I've been here since 08and only have half of that!
Wacko, so you did see the doc about your tummy? And now more problems? Good grief! What a gorgeous infinity pewl. You got your MMJ card didn't you?
Teka and Celia, good to see you goils in the lounge.
LOL at the pooping house!
Celia, sorry you had to cancel dinner plans.
Illona, been to Roswell. Went there on some anniversary, was a parade and such.Was funny, we were asking where all the doings were and the locals had no idea. We thought it pretty lame, unlike Jazzy! Looks like you and hubby enjoyed it.
Cindy, I was thinking the same thing about the ¼ mile walk, but in below 0 temps, I don't think so! How long of a drive is it from TX to FL. How long is Donese there for? Oh shoot, I see she is headed home tomorrow.
Cami, you did chemo 2 different times? Sorry some of your peeps are sick. I hope you don't get it. Glad to hear that Leslie has things lined up and her friend could help. AND….to have both done.

Good Morning, Loungettes! Happy New Year! Sadie and I binge watched Downton Abbey while sipping sparkling wine. Got playing with some essential oils, put a drop of wild orange in half a flute, then tried some other combos, had a lot of fun, all of them tasted special.
Temp minus 9.Wind chill -24. NOT going outside today.
Goldie--I don't blame Sadie for not wanting to go out, and she is getting ice balls in her paws that I clean out when she comes back in. Pecorino cheese is much like Parmesan, but from a different region, used like Parmesan. Heavy cream is with the milk, usually sold in pints. Also called whipping cream. It's thicker than regular cream. Half and half is 50% whole milk and 50% cream. From richest (fattiest) to lightest (least amount of fat) it goes Heavy Cream, Cream, Light cream, half and half, whole milk, 2% milk, 1% milk, skim milk. Heavy cream is used for making whipped cream, although regular cream can be whipped, and cream-based or white sauces like Alfredo or Bechamel. Light cream or half and half is often substituted to cut down on calories from fat and cost. Evaporated milk is milk that has had 60% of the water removed and is stored in cans, not needing to be refrigerated until the can is opened.It is used from the can as cream is used, and can be diluted (technically reconstituted) with tap water to make milk. The amount of water used determines the final concentration of the milk, from whole to skim and used like milk (on cereal, in baking). Sweetened condensed milk also has 60% of the water removed, but has sugar added, and is used more often in desserts (Key Lime pie, some fudges, puddings, ice cream). Sweetened Condensed Milk is VERY sweet, and has an off-white or very light caramel color. Evaporated milk is white, not quite as thick. I did find the Marketplace on Fb--wow, what a huge amount of stuff for sale, and I only skimmed over to get a feel for things! Certainly going to keep an eye on that place. Thanks for the tip!
Jazzy--I hope the stone turns up. Good idea to see what insurance will cover, if anything. Probably a good idea to have the entire ring looked at to make sure none of the other settings are getting loose or anything. Parking the ring in the safe will give time for the other stone to turn up. It's funny how such things turn up in the oddest places. Were you wearing gloves? Did you turn them inside out and see if the stone got caught on a thread or fell down to the fingertip? I'm sure you've already thought of that. Good for you getting the yoga mat out, I may do that too, been a long time since I've done any yoga, I'm sure I'll find lots of muscles and joints to work on! So nice of the lady on the singles thread to contact you!
Dara--So not fair that you are having mesh problems after so long and after so much trouble to begin with. I hope it doesn't end up taking you back to surgery. Just so not fair. Did you decide to stay inside last night? You probably could get a better view of events on the TV than in person, anyway! Yeah, it's cold here, but the weather guessers are predicting a warm up to the 20's Wed or Thurs. That's going to feel like a regular heat wave!
I'll meet you all at the swim up bar!
Getting my shot glass out, making pancake shots for breakfast!
Teka--Poor Sadie, such tender parts hitting the snow when she squats! Glad she doesn't get frostbite!
Celia--Enjoy the balmy weather!
Dara--I do hope you are kidding about the pee test! But that does remind me that I have some hand warmers around somewhere I need to find to have in the car. . .
Illi--I loved Stranger Things!There's a show they did with the cast and crew after the show was over that was really fun to watch, if you can find it. I think it's on Netflix, too. Visiting Roswell is on my bucket list, just for the fun of it.
CynCyn--You are right about it being too cold for furbabies as well as people. I know I cringe when I sit down on the cold toilet seat! Seems like it was ages ago that it was 71 degrees here, but it was only a month or so! Glad you are back in your happy place.
Cammy--it is amazing what a little space heater can do, isn't it? I generally keep it in the bathroom and heat that room up before my shower. I can keep the house around 60 to 65 degrees and be relatively comfortable with sweatshirts and a throw when I'm sitting down, but it's been really nice to put under the desk when I'm working on the computer. I hate having cold feet. I'm so glad Leslie has a plan, and I sure that she will feel relieved when that is over.

Your right Goldie...1/4 mile is far in the freezing cold. I cant take the cold at all any more. I will listen next time when Donese says to pack warm clothes. This time around it was one 9 hour day and one 10. 5 hour day....really should only be about two 8 hour days but traffic was an issue and the weather also.
NM.....Yes, stay inside. and cold toilet seats suck!
Hope you find your missing stone Jazzy.
Had a great night Cammi..thank you. We were supposed to go out to visit a friend today but decided to just be lazy and stay in...its raining and its just kind of blech out there and being Donese's last night it will be nice to just share it together alone. Her flight tomorrow isn't until 645pm so we will go see my parents and have linner after work and then take her to the airport. Hopefully no travel issues tomorrow. She used to be so nervous about travel but not anymore. I think I helped her with that phobia. Speaking of travel...I've been at work 4 hours and 45mins and only have taken 2 calls. It can just stay this way.
Later taters

OMG...I can't believe it's after 2p here. Weather is cool, cool. I am down to 1 pack of smokes, will go without for next 60 days as then is about my surgery time. Everyone has been telling me that smoking prolongs healing and sometimes causes havoc with the surgery site. Wish me luck on the no-smoking and of course my surgery.
My heart goes out to all going thru this. Lowee, sounds like neuropathy in you hands and feet. I finally got a script of Gabapentin to help with my burning pain.
I know I am short on the replies, but much to do around here.
Still praying hard for all mese goils....and ya'll know how much I

Happy New Year, pink drinkin' buddies!
Lori, what a bummer about your foot! Hoping a compounding pharmacist can make you a cream with lidocaine in it to keep the burning at bay. Benadryl cream can help with the itching.
Dara, so unfair that your belly needed debridement. (Was watching a TiVOed episode of "The Good Doctor" the other night, and was driven buck-fug nuts by characters playing doctors pronouncing it "de-BRIDE-ment"). Hope they can find a treatment that won't put you out of commission for your new job.
Gordy texted back a photo of Leslie's family & him enjoying New Year's Eve dinner at their house. His smile looked genuine, so I was relieved (and he texted me a fireworks GIF at midnight).
We had a rather intimate gathering last night. Was supposed to be 14 of us, even w/o Gordy & Leslie (who are still down in Houston). First, on Friday two of our friends called to say they were staying down in Hilton Head an extra day (can't blame them). I gave the restaurant our final headcount of 12. Then, my BFF e-mailed to say her DH was having a rough time on his prescribed "drug holiday" and that only she'd attend. Down to 11. An hour before dinnertime, my housekeeper (whose car's heater was still broken) texted that her DH, who was going to drive them in his car, had a cold, and she didn't want to leave him home and drive his car. Down to a party of 9. My friend Joan, who came up from Minooka to stay over, and we bundled up and walked to the restaurant, at 12F with no wind. (I wore long johns beneath my fancy sequined velour pants set). For the first time in 4 years, I donned "Lamb Chop" (my long shearling hooded coat), with matching hat and mittens. A muffler covered my mouth and glasses covered my eyes--only my cheeks & nose were exposed. Was toasty-warm everywhere else. But Joan (similarly bundled but in wool & down) had to walk slowly due to having had two angioplasties and being in her seventies. For the first time ever, I had to walk slowly. But we made it there just fine, and sat down.
A mug of steaming-hot apple cider with rum was set before each of us. Heck, yeah. In walked one of Bob's colleagues (the widower of a dear friend of mine who died last June) from Oak Lawn with his son (one of Gordy's two lifelong BFFs) who'd flown in from L.A. Then my BFF walked in. I asked if her son & his fiancee were parking the car. "Didn't they call or text you?" I shook my head. Turns out the fiancee's mom had decided at the last moment to fly up from St. Louis and her plane was late. Okay--now down to a party of 7. Another friend walked in. Phoned Bob to find out how close he was: he informed me he'd been slammed with admissions for the two doctors whose calls he was covering, and would be lucky to make it home for champagne at midnight. But he wanted the entire 5-course meal to go, as the hospital cafeteria had closed before dusk and he was starving. So we were down to a final headcount of 6--but with a dinner check for 7. We ordered only one bottle each of prosecco & Jovino (OR) Pinot Noir (3 of us had seafood, 3 meat). To my delight, the house sent us not a prosecco, but an actual "trad. method" (akin to champagne) sparkler, Ferrari Brut, from the Veneto. (All bottles were $30 per--which made more sense than the usual wine-pairings for each course). I felt sort of sorry for the restaurant, because we weren't by any means the only party with major cancellations. One guy, a pilot, with whom we'd often sat at winemaker dinners, came over--his wife, still a flight attendant, left right after dessert to work a last-minute red-eye to L.A., so we invited him to sit with us for coffee. The friends from Oak Lawn left after dessert, because they didn't want to leave their dogs alone for too long. But they gave Joan a lift back to our place. so I gave her my door key because she'd doubtless get there before the remaining three of us.
We walked home as fast as our legs (and sidewalk conditions) could carry us. (And once again, I was requested to slow down)! Joan reached the front porch about 30 seconds ahead of us. And just as we were taking off our coats & boots, Bob walked in the back door. So we sat, drank coffee and talked till about 11:30--but then Kathy had to leave because her DH had texted her that he was having an anxiety attack. So as the clock struck midnight, only four of us raised our glasses of Taittinger Brut La Francaise to toast the New Year. (And of course, we still had a table full of midnight munchies for 12. We had to set aside the taco chips, which we caught one of our kitties happily licking).

An episode of the local PBS restaurant review series "Check, Please!"--in which each of three people pick their fave restaurants and have the others eat at and review them--had one person give her occupation as "wine consultant" but pronounce the German wine terms "spatlese" and "auslese"--supposed to be "SPATE-lay-zuh" and "OWSH-lay-zuh"--as "SPOT-luh-ZAY" and "OSS-luh-ZAY" as if the words were French! Remind me not to ask her for wine advice. (Sorry about the lack of accent marks--my keyboard isn't bringing up those boxes when I press & hold a key, but instead just repeats the letter. No way to fix that under "System Preferences").

Aaaand now my MBPro is acting weirdly. Not just the missing accent characters (despite every suggested fix on Apple’s support community pages): when I restarted it (as all the suggestions said to do after tweaking the keyboard preferences), it made me re-set up my iCloud, Google, & Dropbox accounts (I’m afraid to go near Skype and MSOffice lest I get stuck in log-in limbo) because Safari prefs. Keychain apparently forgot all my recently saved passwords. Meanwhile, Mail insisted on re-importing all messages, and one account has been downloading them one by one, slowly, starting with the day I bought this computer in Sept. Even the ones I’d long since deleted and set to “remove from server after one week.” (Same thing that always drove me crazy about using my old MBAir as a travel computer—which is why I retired both the Air and my 4-yr-old 15” MBPro so I could use this 13-incher for both home & travel).
I effing hate technology.

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy first working day of 2018, at least for me. Another bitterly cold day here, but should warm up some over the next couple of days as we get ready for the next snow storm. Silly Sadie wasn't very silly this ayem, she stuck her nose out the door, gave me a dirty look, and ran back to the bed room and back into bed!
CynCyn--don't blame you for having a quiet last day with Donese, and I hope her travels are smooth. Sounds like you've been good for her.
Teka--Love the Poem!
Jazzy--nice song.
Mema--Good luck with the smoking cessation. It can make a huge difference in healing after surgery.
Goldie--oh, ouch. That looks so painful.
Morning, Illi!
Chi--oh, my, what a dinner saga! And what a hassle with the computer!

Cyn, you and Donese enjoy your last moments together. But it's only temporary. When is the next get together? Glad you were able to help her with her travel phobia.
Teka, -25 is just cray cray. I remember one year when it got cold like that when I lived in Michigan. Schools closed cuz it was just too cold. Especially for those that had to walk to school.
Sue, I'm happyto see you. Good luck with smoking. Maybe it will be easier than you think since your DH has quit.
Sandy, I do have some benedryl cream, also some clobetasol, which helps with the itching. I have tried so many creams and lotions, the only thing that will help is to stop taking the medication. My mind went to the gutter reading about your "intimate" gathering with 14 people!
NM, poor Sadie. I guess she can hold it until she's ready to brave the cold! What a pretty DOTD. Looks pretty strong too!
