    Jules....don't fret.  I'll be here to drink with ya.  I spent yesterday in Emergency Room getting Ultra Sound up and down my body, and Blood tests to rule out clots.  I ended up with some severe edema after surgery it seems.  I was pretty nervous about the whole thing.   I love to take my tamoxifen with an Ice Cold Beer. Yummy!  Don't worry too much about what others think and what flys out of their mouths.  I know that's easier said than done. I am the worst one to be preaching that "life frequency"  to ya.  I can now however, because I am on pain medication and don't know any better.  LOL!    Good luck...you won't drink alone many nights here!

    Hunky: So sorry about the edema.  Surgery is hard enough when everything goes perfectly.  Hoping you're home soon.

    Jules: Sorry about your recent angst (or as someone used to call it when I first joined this board the crazy monkeys).  I hope your crazy monkeys are blissfully buzzed.

    Jaybird:  Here's to a wonderful dog.  They are true friends who spread more happiness in their few years than most of us do in 5 times the days.  Be safe in your travels.

    Kathy and Junie:  Have a great time in Tunica and win BIG.  Bring Pants and Jocks back in good shape.  We'll need them around here.

    Jaybird, welcome back! Sorry it was with bad news of your fur baby and getting your wallet stolen! Wishing you no more bad luck! Having Pants serve ya up a double, drink of your choice.

    Hunky, You stay put! Ya hear? No more trips to the ER. You are to stay home, and heal with no more set backs. All joking aside, I hope all ended up ok and you are back on the road to recovery.

    Kathy/Junie, hope you guys are having a terrifically fabulous time, whether you are winning or not!

    Carol, looks as if it is going to be pretty toasty down there this week. You better just stay here in the pool! Have you finished your painting?

    Jules, you'll never drink alone here. We are all here in spirit, and then of course there are our Tattie Tenders.

    Hope everyone has a great day! As for me, I overslept this morning, didn't get up until 5:30. Good thing work is just out the front door and really doesn't matter if I am little late!

    I've decided that since I have to keep my new nipple tattoos out of the sun for a while, I'd better order two little umbrella drinks...maybe something in the rum family.

    Have a good day ladies.

    Hi gals! Junie and I met today and had such a great time! She is an absolute doll, just like I thought she would be. Oh, and don't worry about us taking Pants and Jocks....they sent their cute friend along to take care of us..."Hunk"! We even took a picture with Hunk, but will have to see if it turns out. As far as what we've been up to with Hunk....well, like they say..."What happens in Tunica STAYS in Tunica"..lol.

    HunkyD, I hope you are doing much better after your emerg room trip...so sorry you had those complications.Thinking of you and wishing you the best!

    Carol, Cute about your 2 umbrella drinks! Hope the umbrellas were big enough to protect you from that sun. Here's to good healing!!!

    Lori, OMG...5:30 am is "sleeping in "???? But in this heat, I guess it really is better to get an early start. Today the heat index here is around 108...so its been necessary to just stay in the casino and drink and gamble!!!

    Hope everyone is doing well....and that Pants and Jocks are taking good care of you all. Even though junie and I have to share Hunk, he is still able to take care of both of us. Oh, and they have a nice pool here...guess I'll have to jump in and see if Hunk follows me!

    Cheers,

    Kathy

    I am ROFLMAO about the mini umbrellas for maximum uv areola shade.  Now that is a brilliant idea.  So glad our gals didn't take Pants and Jocks to Tunica.  Pants and Jocks should certainly still have time to keep our drinks filled here as well as keeping CAZ covered. 

    wahine & junie, I can't wait to see the picture of Hunk!  I hope it turned out....don't know if it's the name or what.....but I am curious about your "new friend!"  Lorie...I am also almost sick to my stomach thinking about getting out of bed that early.  I do know you can't do much physical labor outdoors in triple-digit heat but dang girl...you need to win a big bag of money to hire some workers to come do what you need done.  Your business is something to do with irrigation products and dirt is all I can remember.  OK....Stormy1...where are ya girl?  Check in with us when ya can.  Jaybird...I am so sorry to hear of your pet pal.  I know how that goes unfortunately.  Losing ours was the first time I ever saw my DH cry.  It is so hard.  Said we would never get another one but....guess what?   Ya, and our new girl is now very old also.  I can't live without one I guess.  I am feeling better today.  Got two drains out and hopefully the last three will get yanked tomorrow.  I am taking it easy....I want to spend more time here at the lounge.  It is so much nicer than the hospital.  Have a great Tuesday evening to all....I would love to meet up with this group some day.  I have my lotto ticket bought for tomorrow night.  Take care all...HunkyD

    Cheers to all!

    I can't drink tonight, have Vicodin (LOVE it!) to take after a double butt whammy - colonoscopy (all clear!) and hemorrhoidectomy (believe they started with chemo 4 years ago...). I'm actually not in any pain (???) but who am I to turn down 'legal' drugs? The nurses were all very nice and one told me she was at the 1 year survivor mark!

    Thanks for your words for Katey. She survived mammary gland cancer (BC!) 4 years ago so all this time as been like a bonus. She was dx in January and I was dx in March. Debating getting another cocker (yes, the desire is there, plus my other dog truly is lonely now) or fostering for a while.

    It's hot here, definitely COLD beer weather, but I'll just stay in my house with the a/c on zoning out on my pain medication. I'll be back drinking again soon, I'm sure! Love the young, hot men Pants and Jocks   Wink  so why would I stay away?

    Jaybird, glad your DBW (double butt whammy) came out all clear. Wasn't it fun? NOT. I just had mine a couple weeks ago, but it was not a double....called mine a "heinyscope"! Vicodin, I am sure that is one I won't take. Isn't that hydrocodone, or something? Took that one time and was dizzy for 24 hours, throwing up, couldn't think straight. You couldn't pay me to take more! I have valium now!!!!!!

    Hunky, I am up early, but I go down early too. Usually in bed by 8 watch some tv and hope to be asleep by 9. I have been known to go to bed at 6 or 7 if I have put in a hard day outside (and had a few beers). Yes, we sell irrigation products, mrdrip dot com if you want to check it out. I am on the contacts page. Did you get the other drains out? I sure hope you are feeling good.

    Stormy, I am with Hunky...............WHERE ARE YOU?

    Hugs to all......belly up!

    I'm baaaccckkkkkk!   Jules pull up your stool and I'll drink with you!   Good to be back home but we had such a fun trip!   Broke as all get out--Jocks and Pants will be passing around a collection plate for me later this evening!!!  That Wahine is one special lady and I'm so glad we got to meet up!!!   And, she truly did find us a hunk who agreed to have his picture taken with us.   What a good sport he was!   He kept asking...what is this all about?...I told him we were shooting a video for You-Tube and that "tomorrow you're going to be famous!!!!"   He got really nervous, but you could see the wheels spinning in his gorgeous head!   It was a riot--Jocks!  Pants!  You have nothing to worry about--he stayed in Tunica!!  Next time, must plan things better so to spend more time with Wahine!!!!

    Sounds like lots going on with everyone at the HTL...so will throw out big hugggsssss to all and try to catch up in next day or so!

    Raising my glass (full of water) tonight to Farrah - she fought the good fight! Saw her 'special' a few weeks back and was very moved, didn't really 'know' her until I watched it. So sad. She seemed a truly beautiful person inside as well as outside.

    As for my butt, it hurts! (a few stitches) I tolerate Vicodin very well, no loopyness, so I'll take it for another day or two and then back to drinking! Laughing The colonoscopy actually hurt despite my twilight 'sleep'. Was totally knocked out (thankfully!) for the other!

    Too hot here for outside labor so I've been taking it easy on my vacation. Can't wait to have a cold beer or two this weekend - I'll be 49 (!!!) on Saturday.

    Cheers!

    Hi gals!

    Jules, Decided to join you in a drink. Soooooo hot outside I had to jump in the pool to cool off. And of course, there was Pants with an icy cold pina colada!!!

    Jaybird, I am joining you in raising a glass to Farrah! Just broke my heart to hear the news yesterday. Like you, I admired her so much after watching her documentary. A fantastic lady. Oh boy, looks like we will have another big party tomorrow for your 49th!!!! Yay...PARTY! Happy, Happy Birthday to you!

    HunkyD, Did you get all the drains out? Hope the pain meds are working,but hopefully you can get back to drinking tomorrow, for the PARTY! Otherwise I know they can make some awesome "virgin" drinks....will turn a few heads though when you order that.

    Lori, Your website is so good! A classmate from Hawaii also has an irrigation company, its Kona Irrigation dot com. She spends her time between Colorado and Hawaii...what a life!

    Ok, I am going to TRY to post a picture. Junie looks great, as does Hunk, but I realized until I lose all this weight I have gained, I will not take a good picture....so be forewarned! But I did start my new "eating plan" (sounds better than diet!) today...so will actually be on the wagon for awhile.

    Okole Hao,

    Kathy

    Wow, what a great picture Kathy.  I think you all look great.  Mr. Hunk probably was probably very ecstatic that he got to be involved in the picture taking.  He probably really didn't know for sure even after explaining to him about our group what this was all about! All I know is he should be damn honored!!!  Thanks so much for posting the pic.  And Kathy, I think you look fabulous.  Junie, you too!!!!!   I am so jealous I wasn't there.  I will be at the birthday party tomorrow.  I do still need my pain killers in the morning.  I feel like hell then, but by evening all the the vicodins are probably out of my system anyway, and I can get a soused.  All drains are gone....Yea!  I am still taking it very, very easy.  Just taped up....no dressing changes.   I am looking forward to a full bar tomorrow.  Of course, tonight I am glad to have a few of us here also.  Pants, Jocks, I hope you got Hunks email from wahine and junie!  Bring on the drinks!  CAZ....I need more than a drink umbrella to shade all my fresh wounds!     HunkyD

    WOW, look at the lounge! Another party! Happy Birthday Jaybird.....may you stay 49 forever! Or would you like to go back to 39? I hope you have a tremendous day! CHEERS to Jaybird!

    Kathy & Junie, I am so jealous. You both look so radiant! Was it meeting each other or HUNK? Kathy, now I don't have to picture you as black, white & hairy! I am going to copy and save the pic, hope you gals don't mind.You ladies are "Hollywood Headliners", at least here you are.

    Hunky, so glad you got the drains out and starting to feel better. It is so good to have you back at the HTL. Now we need you, Stormy & Jaybird to post pics, so we know what you look like.

    Jules, hope you didn't get too buzzed yesterday, so you can enjoy the B-day party!

    Donna, if you're lurking out there, stop by for a drink!

    Here's to Jaybird!

              ***********************HAPPY BIRTHDAY to JAYBIRD!!!!!!***************************

    Wow....I think Jocks and Pants outdid themselves decorating for Jaybird's Birthday Party! I guess since this is your 49th, they want it to be memorable. Next year you will join those of us in the 50's! Well, they sure filled the MARGARITA fountain; added a CHOCOLATE fountain (w/ no calories); and I see a huge WINE bar with very expensive wines for our wine conoisseur to enjoy. Pants and Jocks are dressed like they are "Chippendale's" dancers today!  Hmm  ...think they are planning to do a show for Jaybird??? I think I'll stay in the pool today...its so hot...and play with these giant beach balls someone threw in. Let's PARTY everyone! And on the count of three, all yell "Happy Birthday"..ok...get ready.. One...Two...Three..... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

    Lori and HunkyD, thanks for the kind words about our picture. We really WERE happy...it was so great to meet each other! And Lori, I am So GLAD you are not picturing me as black and white and hairy anymore...lol. I did have my hair pulled back though as the hot flashes were in full force. HunkyD that is wonderful that you got all your drains out! I had the last 2 in for 5 wks and was miserable. I hope your pain meds wear off in time to party hearty!

    Raising my glass to our Jaybird,

    Kathy

    OK, Happy Birthday Jaybird!!!  I am so excited for the party.  Took my painkillers early so they are, or will be worn off.  If not....please keep an eye on the bottom of the pool.  I am getting in there with wahine.  It does seem to be a great day for a party.  I just hope some others show up.  CAZ....I will even hold the umbrellas for a while if you need me too.  Lori....nice webpage.  I do some web design also.  The funnest one I did was for a bungee company. They kept wanting to trade my labor for bunjee jumps.  I am not near that brave!  LOL!   I had to quit that site when I was diagnosed.  I also did a couple golf sites that I gave up.  Love working with Macromedia Flash and a few of the other eyecandy stuff.  Keeping up with real job and cancer was enough though, so web design is over for now.  Well, Pants, Jocks...let's go.  We've got a birthday to celebrate.  Just wish some of the others we haven't heard from for a while would pop in just for a quick one!  Cheers!  HunkyD

    Hey Everyone!

    It's my party and I'll cry if I want to! It's been a rough week but after crying a lot this morning it's out of my system and I'm okay. What a week, with surgery and all the deaths (the famous and the not famous) but it's okay to celebrate being alive, right? I finished chemo 4 years ago this week so that in itself is a good enough reason to drink - too bad I'm still on the Vicodin! Have to get my party drinks from Pants and Jocks in a few days. Maybe a birthday spanking, too? Innocent

    Thanks for all the love! Definitely drink up today/tonight, and have an extra libation for me! I'll tap into my Johnnie Walker Blue Label as soon as my butt feels better! (maybe a butt rub, too, from Pants and Jocks? Am I allowed that fantasy?) Surprised

    Cheers!

    HAPPY BITHDAY, JAYBIRD!!!   Hope you're feeling a bit better from your surgery.   Not a problem that you're not drinking just yet--we'll be ready whenever you can, and in the meantime, we'll raise many happy glasses in your honor! 

    I'll be that the gov from--is it South Carolina?--is grateful for the celebrity deaths that have dominated the news--kinda takes the heat off his trips to visit the mistress in Argentina!!

    Almost too hot to enjoy the pool...think I'll stay in our A/C bar!   Cheers to all!!!!

    Is anyone else hung over from Jaybirds party yesterday??? LOL. It was lots of fun Jaybird, and maybe we had TOO many drinks for you... Sorry you had such a rough week, and teary-eyed morning, but glad you are feeling better, and still have those fantasies! I am sure the tattie tenders would give you a butt rub...when you are all well. Looks like they have the bloody marys and mimosas sitting out on the bar, ready to go. Can just swim up and get one...OR have them swim one over to you....hmmmm that sounds like more fun.

    Hope everyone is having a good Sunday...Cheers and Hugs,
