Dee, Hope you get a lot of laps in! I wish I could join you, but I have to work outside in this heat today.
Christine, Nice you found your way back to the bar! I thought about pinkstock last year, when I was in the middle of surgeries, and wasn't able to go, but wanted to badly. Sounded like they had a ball, and Kristen (sp?) from the band sent me a copy of the CD they made...such cute original songs! This year, we have a lot going on, so I won't be able to go, but will be there in spirit. There will probably be some sadness too, as AlaskaDeb seemed like a big part of it last year. The pics of her were priceless. I hope you and Casinogirl make it there....as you know from going before, it apparently is a fantastic, unforgettable experience! Stay around awhile; let Jocks and Pants pamper you like you've never been pampered before....
junie, You FINALLY get to your party, right as I am getting ready to leave. Wasn't it fun though....esp when they came out of that HUGE cake! We need to have more parties here...I mean we can have Pants and Jocks do all the work....and we just get to have fun. So glad your day was perfect!!!
HunkyD, Hope you are recovering well, and are managing to control the pain, and are able to get comfortable enough to sleep. It is such a rough surgery, but the benefits should be great! Remember, we are here for you, so if you need to vent about anything....what we hear at the bar stays at the bar...
Do take care, and rest as much as you can...gentle hugs (((HunkyD))).Kathy

Wheeeeeee...going down our new slide.....boy it sure is fun! Especially after working outside all day in the hot sun (heat index near 100). I think I'll stay in the pool and cool off for awhile. Since you've had the tattie tenders all to yourself all day jules, I think I will take them for awhile! Ummmm....not literally of course! But I need some pampering and endless cool drinks!
Hope you are doing much better, HunkyD!
Pau Hana,
Kathy

Hey! Hey! ChristineK !!!! so good to see you post! No Pinkstock for me this year either--it's always at the worst time of year for me--maybe one of these days....but, if it doesn't work out for you and CasinoGirl, there's always Eureka Springs! LOL Wish you and Donna could join us in Tunica next week. I'm going to be able to meet Wahine and am so excited! Have not seen Sam91 post in a good long while--hope all is well with her! Maybe plans should start fomenting for another get-together in Vegas next year--or, even Tulsa--the casino there is pretty cool!!!!
Gonna cozy up to the bar and grab a few quick ones. Entertained company all afternoon/evening--actually, dau's in-laws-to-be. Dau and fiancee and their two friggin labs are due here in next hour or so...bringing the dogs was a last minute hitch in their plans--grrrrr...I will need LOTS to drink to survive this week-end! Asking Jocks and Pants to keep the drinks lined up for me and I will pop in as I can to grab a few!!!
hugggssssss everyone!!!!

Good morning ladies!
Coming for a couple of quick trips down the slide, then its off to town to do our weekly shopping. Its an hour one way, so we only go once a week. But before shopping, we are hitting another auction. Its an annual one that we do every year. Some lunch and maybe a movie. When we do these kinds of things, we say we are going on a date!
Jules, you let that imagination run as wild you want. You know, when I come here......I can actually put myself here, you know? I see all of us, in my mind. But I must say, Kathy & Hunky are my funniest characters, as I only have your avitars to imagine with! Speaking of Hunky...Hope you are doing well girl, praying for you. When you are ready, you can have Pants & Jocks all to yourself! Jules, you are never alone here, we all here in spirit.
I'll try and call Donna this weekend, I am sure she is just busy. Dee, hope you had a great time at Relay for Life. You go girl!
Junie and Kathy, you know pics are a must when you meet.
Well, I better go see what I can do with these curls, and try to look presenable to go out in public. But first, one last trip down the slide....OOooooo what are these? Looks like the bottoms to Jules bathing suit. *tosses them into the bushes* he he he!
Later girls!

Hi gals! I was worried about Nettie (cloudhowe) from Scotland, so I searched and found out that she had surgery on the 18th. Sure miss her at the bar! Lets all send good thoughts and prayers her way for a good recovery. And I am hoisting up a bloody mary to her!!! Drinks for all, Pants....keep 'em coming. Join us when you feel like it, Nettie....I think you will like all the additions to our HTL. Wishing you the best!
Junie, I notice your row of drinks is disappearing quickly. Must be rough with the visting family since they brought their unexpected dogs! I know you are a dog lover (me too), but I don't want guests to bring their pets either. Esp if my outside dogs see other dogs INSIDE the house...now that just wouldn't be fair! Jocks, please keep refilling all of junie's drinks, so she can keep just popping in and grabbing one as needed. You're right...wonder where Sam91 is...hope she is here at the bar after all (maybe in disguise). Let us hear from you, Sam!
Lori, Enjoy your "date" today...sounds fun as you have a lot planned. Hmmm....since you threw Jules' suit bottom away, I think I will stick to ONE PIECE swimsuits...HA! That new slide is great though....I LOVE our place!
Have a great weekend, Ladies. As for me, I still have lots of outside work to do in this heat (heat index over 100 this weekend). BUT, it is a beautiful day, and I will be dropping by often to jump into the pool and get cooled off...and I might grab one of junie's drinks from the bar...think she'll notice???
Take care,
Kathy

Kathy Have you seen my bottoms anywhere??....I bet lori hid them at the top of the slide somewhere...guess I'll just have to get on that slide again to get them!!! Margaritas are flowing out of a fountain Jocks and Pants added last night....it's so sweeet the way they keep spoiling us!!!........jules

jules, I think Lori tossed them into the bushes!!! Just came in for a dip and a cool drink....hmm....those margaritas look especially refreshing....

Wow, what a party!! I sure picked a hell of a time to get surgery. Best time for me this week I guess was getting my Foley catheter out. Only 5 little JP drains this time too.
Junie....what a party you had. Jules, I think lori may have thrown your bottoms into the bushes from the slide, but I'll give 10:1 odds the bouncer has them by now. He just seems like the type of guy that might covet a womens swimsuit bottoms. LOL! I'm headed to the margarita fountain!!!! We need to make sure that Pants and Jocks are taking into consideration the correct ratio of tequilia to margarita mix. It is summer. Hope no one had any serious party fouls that required medical attention. Lounge looks like it's in pretty great shape considering the party. I'm not missing the next one! Happy Saturday to all.........HunkyD

I knew the bouncer had them!

Yay HunkyD....You're BAAACCCK!!!!! So nice to have you back at the bar, and hope you are really taking it easy. Glad your surgery is behind you now! And oh boy, now you have a pic so we know where jules' bottoms went....we sure missed your creativity for a few days. That bouncer sure looks big...jules, you may want to get a new suit!
Enjoying a quick glass of white zin...after working outside all day we are now running errands, and had to come home for something. Good excuse to have a quick happy hour!
Cheers,
kathy

HUNKY,
You rock. I'm glad you're back in the land of the drinking.
Wahine, the new nipple tattoos are still a bit scabbed. Not sexy. I'm not supposed to swim for two weeks, so I guess I'm confined to the lounge. Thanks for looking in on Nettie. I'll be sending her healing wishes.
Cheers all.

popping in to grab a few drinks--or maybe a lot!!!! Well duh--the missing pants are on Pant's head! He didn't know what else to do with them--figured someone would claim them sooner or later!!!!
Glorious day with guest dogs whizzing on the carpets, barking, whining their fool heads off, stealing my guys toys.... yadayadayada...but got guest dogs kenneled and our baby sleeping and off in the boat for a wonderful afternoon of lake and sun. If tomorrow can be as good, I will be so grateful for two, "thank You days" in a row! Then pack, and off to meet Wahine!!!
Joks--Pants--someone--drinks all around!!!
big huggssss to ALL !!!

junie, What a mess you have had with those dogs! Glad you had a nice day on the lake, and hope tomorrow will be good too! We'll leave for Tunica tomorrow, so will try to get the machines and tables all warmed up for you. Drive safely, and I'll see you soon!
Carol, Are you putting lotion on them? I read a lot that MakeUpChickNC wrote on the boards about it, and it seems that helps. And no chlorine for awhile....of course no topless sunbathing either...sorry to ruin all your fun! Just stay under the palm trees for awhile, and let Jocks bring you cold drinks. But she said to be really patient, and soon they should look great. I hope you will be really happy w/ the results....now you won't look like a barbie doll...I can't wait to get mine done in the fall! Hopefully that will work out. Just think....when they heal you will look so good.
HunkyD, continue on your good healing! Nettie, I hope you are healing well and have good results and clear margins. I'll have the computer with me, so can check up on all the shenanigans happening at the lounge....you gals have fun!

Hey everybody....looks I am very Late...OMG!!! are you all drunk by now...I guess I need to chug a few...
Ladies....I have had a terrible night!!!!!! I can only cry right now...not sure why...DH fast asleep...he was trying to be so sweet and sensitive to my crying needs...but somehow not what I needed...not sure what I need right now....can't stop crying all out loud on the deck....maybe the neighbors here...I don't give a f___k!!! Why am I so sad and crying so hard...I wish all you ladies were here RIGHT NOW!!!! why am I crying like this...I feel so sad...is it the tamox.. I feel stupid...................gonna try to get next to DH and try to feel better....jules

jules, Hope you were able to cuddle up to your DH and not feel so sad. So sorry to hear you are having a rough night, and wish we were there to help, but I'm sending comforting hugs your way, and hope you can feel them! Don't worry; sometimes we just need to cry it out....might just be everything catching up with you. Not sure if it could be the tamox, as I don't know anything about that, but whatever it is, just let it out. Its after 1:30 am, and of course I am not packed, but just wanted to let you know we are here for you. Try to imagine yourself at the Banana Hammock, relaxing and getting pampered. Oh, look...I think Pants and Jocks think they are the "Chippendales"...what a show...just like them to try to cheer us up! Maybe they can take your mind off things.... ! Here are some comforting Hugs to you (((jules))).

Good morning girls....If you can jump over to the "Tamoxifen Fear" thread...I have explained what all happened to me last night. Just too much to say it all over again. It was some ladies comments about my breasts and then just a roller coaster after that.
Everyone here really helps my spirit. For a while I just put this all out of my head and moved on. BC never even came up again..Had my MX, implant left in place..not perfect, but I dealt with that demon. Now on Tamox....and it's a daily reminder. At least I had the first 6 months living life so normally. Out side of me & DN...it never is mentioned to me..and thats perfectly ok.
CRAP!! somehow I just deleted a whole pararaph...want dig into it again....just want to end with how much I love coming here and laughing. Like I have said before...imagination is a wonderful thing..and outside of this thread...I never get to use it....
Thanks so much for listening......jules

Hunky, so excited to see you back. Big gentle hugs. And more pictures to boot! I LOVE IT!
Carol, You will just have to hang out in the Banana Hammock, with the bouncer he he! We can move the margarita fountain over there for you. Which by the way Jules, what a great addition. Maybe Jocks can apply that cream?
Kathy, thanks for posting about Nettie. Nettie, hope you are feeling better and healing and can make it over to the HTL soon.
Junie, visting dogs, oh my. We don't have any animals, and a few weeks ago we had some friends come out for the weekend. They informed us that they had to bring their dog. S.O. and I just didn't know what to do. We did NOT want the dog in the house. I can't stand animal hair. I don't have anything against animals, had dogs as a kid and when raising my own kids. But our dogs stayed outside. Well anyways, they left the dog outside and put it in the barn at nite, whew!
Jules, I am up early with you, and read your post. Sometimes we just need to vent and/or blow up, and sometimes it is at others expense. I don't think you did anything wrong, those ladies just wouldn't let it go. I am sorry however about your broken neclace. As for DH, isn't that just a guy thing anyways??? Maybe today can be "kiss & make up". I find, for me anyways, we do better when I can talk about things, rather than stay upset and dwell on them. Taking these hormone blockers sure makes being intimate tough! Darrell is very understanding about it, and always makes sure I get some satisfaction. I just feel so bad for him, that I don't have the "desire". Ok, enough of that. Have a better day today, we are there with you.
Well 6am, I better think about getting up off my duff and get some things done before it gets too hot. Only having 1 day to do cleaning and try to get the rest of my flowers planted that I bought 2 weeks ago, gheesh! I need a maid. Do you think I could hire Jocks & Pants????
Grabbing a margartia from the fountain on my way out. Have a great day girls.

(((HUGS))) to HunkyD for a speedy recovery!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY (sorry - belated!) to Junie!!!
:::::waving::::: Hi Christine! (my old drinkin' bud!)
Me, I've been working, working working! Flying all over the world sure is exhausting!
But I have to make money while I can as we're due for more cutbacks in service in the fall which means I won't have as many choices in my trips, may be relegated back to domestic! 
I tried to post some pics of Avery a few months back but I failed. I'll try again soon, maybe from my laptop as my desktop is less cooperative with pics it seems. She'll be 3 in two months as is still such a joy! Her 'terrible two' tantrums are mostly gone.
One of my dogs died recently so raise your glass, with beverage of choice inside, to her. She would have been 17 in September and aparently died of a natural cause, possible a stroke or heart attack. The next day my wallet was stolen in Spain so needless to say life has been crazy lately.
Summer is finally here in Chicago and I've been enjoying more beer lately, mostly stuff I've brought back from Europe (Stella Artois, Heineken, 1664) and will bring more back in July as I have Lyon and Frankfurt layovers, great places to obtain good beer!
Well, cheers to all!

Hi Jaybird!!! So good to "see" you again in the bar.Just got to Tunica, and mixed a drink (haven't made it into the casino yet, junie!) and sadly read about your dog, so am right this second raising my glass to her. I know that just broke your heart, esp since you had her for so long. She sure had a long life, and I'm sure you made her very happy. I am so sorry. And then to lose your wallet in Spain. Well, let me tell you, that is my least favorite place to be. Have been there three times(once for a week), and one time our condo was broken into,ransacked,and some things taken;another time gypsies in the middle of Barcelona, during rush hour, tried to get DH's wallet....they were ALL over him(funny how HE didn't try to get them off him..lol); and the 3rd time someone with us got robbed. It is a beautiful country, but too risky for me. Hope you were able to get everything taken care of after that happened! The beers you brought back sound really good. And so glad to hear that Avery is fine. Please post a pic when you can! Have you noticed all the improvements to the bar? Sure is a great place to relax.
Cheers everyone!
Kathy

...visiting dogs are gone! Our pooch is moping around--he misses them...NO! We're not getting another dog to keep him canine company! Jaybird, sorry to hear that you've lost a fur baby...a toast to her happiness at the Rainbow Bridge!! I really, really like France's 1664 beer! Hope tp see pics of Avery soon--if you can't post here, I'd be delighted to get an e-mail!!! Hugggsss--will keep fingers crossed that your flight schedules stay full!!
hey, Jules--hope you're a bit more cheery by now. I took Tamox for 5 yrs after surgery, chemo, rads--I did have some issues but also, lots of other big happenings in my life at the time, plus, just the crappy getting older thing going on, too. Hang in there! Don't be afraid to take it...just get a mindset that you are doing all you can do to keep it from recurring. Best wishes!!!!
Big hugggssss to everyone! Hope everything is progressing well for Hunky and Stormy and CAZ, and everyone! Have an early wake-up tomorrow--am pretty much packed and raring to head to Tunica and meet Wahine!!!! Can't wait!!
ohhh, if things get a little hectic here, I'm taking Jocks and Pants with ME!!! Can't do without their pampering for even a day!
huggggsssssss to all! Bottoms up!!!

Did everyone party too hard this weekend...Looks like ya'll are laying off the bottle today...well, Jocks and Pants just refilled the margarita fountain....Don't quite know what these hunks are up to this early...but the margaritas are stronger than ever today...trying to get me drunk boys??? Watch out ladies...their acting a lil' crazy today!!!......jules

Juni and Goldie...Thanks for your encouraging words over the weekend....and yes..I am over it now..put it behind me..just my first incident of that sort of behavior..They pretty much shut the----up when I showed them and told them how I got such "PERKY TITS" aaarrrggg!!! I think all of them will think a lil' now before commenting on someone's body, good or bad...dumb dumbs...I am feeling good today mentally, but physically...I am a dead beat!!! At the shop and can not get motivated...either my new blood pressure med dragging me down or maybe the tamox?? Finished just week one of tamox. doing good otherwise.....
The Guys just set out a round for everyone...but since your not here...looks like I may get a lil' tipsy!!!........love ya'll ..jules

Ladies...did you skip out on me today... Since I had to drink for everyone today...afraid I may be a bit smashed...Jocks and Pants now carrying me to my chair...lol ...jules
