OOOOHHHH I thought today the clock changed, oops.0 -
Mornin' ladies,
Kim do u remember when one yr. they decided not to change the time??? Long time ago, but the kids always had to leave early for school and catch buses and then it was always dark in the morning and all parents complained cuz it basically lasted all of the school yr. So they went back to it. Now it's a shorter time tho for the time change, but I just member that.
SusyQ am happy ur BFF will be coming soon, that's always good.LOL membering the daysof bananas, then going to the hospital for a couple of days to get the slow drip of pot.then go home and take those horse pills. then the following month going back to hospital for the very slow drip, That was stupidly tiresome. Since I take opiods now, hardly any diarrhea so my banana days are over, but I like them anyway.
JC u saw PINK wow, good for u Did u just happen to sit next to a woman with Stage IV, that is really eerie if it was by chance. It was great that she went tho.
Lori I never thought about the pressure of high altitudes. It must make a difference in how u feel. I'm so sorry about ur mom, but like u said u do have comfort in knowing she's sleeping alot so she doesn't have pain. It's still so sad. Oh I have to put sardines on my ,ist, I don't know either if I still like them or even tolerate them, but yea I do member crackers too.
Janky u sound like ur having a good time, I didn't realizze u were staying so long tho. But the longer the better for you.
Jazzy Im missing something I haven't seen u much. I don't like that.
Thank you Teka.
I was busy on the phones last night and all emergencies, always on Fridays. I love the way they always ask me what I think it is. My usual spiel is I can flush a toilet, turn out a light and move the thermostat, I can do no more. I get my message across then.
Have a great day.
LUBS U ALL

NM, thanks for the comforting words in regards to my mom. I too think she is drifting away, but always manages a come back! I got to talk to her Thursday when my brother was there, but only briefly. She's complaining now about her knee hurting really bad. I'm just wondering if she hurt it one of the times she rolled out of bed.
Sue, my lil doity butt! I didn't know I was visiting you in 3 weeks! J/K, have fun with your BFF, is she staying with you? Any plans? Are you going to your cousins in AZ for Easter. I forgot her name.
JCS, good luck on your upcoming scans and getting this chemo done! How long do you have to do it?
Janky, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! 44 years is loooooooong time! Glad you are enjoying yourself and family and the warmer weather. Carry on girl and continue to have a good time.
Illimae, I just love your cartoon you!
Cami lol, "I think this has liquor in it". The first item, Jimadore Silver, is to kill ya (tequilla). I hope you are doing well. Did you say before that you had your hair colored? And what's Joey been up to? Oooooh, I almost bumped you into the pewl. We would eat oysters with crackers too. Not sure I could tolerate oysters anymore. They are just so gross looking.
NM, I hope you and Sadie are having a nice sleep in this morning.
Well, saw my onc yesterday. Blood work was all good, liver, kidneys, red and white blood cells...all except the TM's, they went up again, which seems to be the norm anymore. Rose 30-40 pnts. Bone scan shows some progression (expected that) and a new spot on one my ribs. CT was all good, nothing in the lungs, liver, kidneys.....NO ORGAN INVOLVEMENT! I was a nervous wreck yesterday, my BP was like 140/90, heart rate 103. Things got messed up with things that I mentioned before because there is another patient of his with the exact same name as mine. Except I'm Lorri and she is Lori, which is normally how I spell my name, but legally it has 2 R's in it. Anyways, I'm beyond pleased with my results!

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Saturday! Chilly but sunny this ayem. Should be a very pretty day today. Having a hard time getting the brain going this ayem. I'm going to take that as a sign of needing a mental veg day. Considering how much I've gotten done at work this week I think I'm entitled! So mindless housework and laundry for me today. Hoping for a good bean suppah, haven't visited with Mom and Dick for a bit. Sadie says "HI" to everyone!
Librarian--glad the concert was good and the company was fun! And Hooray for cycle 3 done and the schedule back on track. Enjoy the mountains!
Janky--so glad you are enjoying your warm climate vacay! Congrats on your anniversary!
Morning, Illi!
Cammy--Yummy! And, Yes, I do remember the year they decided not to change time. It was supposed to save money by leaving daylight in the peeyems later during the big energy crisis, but people just used more energy for lights and such in the ayems. I got on the bus in the dark all school year instead of just half the school year. Ain'tever gonna make everyone happy with the time thing, no matter what gets done! You must be a riot on the phone with folks. I bet you leave them smiling!
Goldie--People do manage more come backs from the brink of death than cats have lives!Your Mom may have hurt her knee in one of the falls, or she may have arthritisthat is acting up after the falls. Sadie and I did have a nice sleep in, thanks. So good to hear no organ involvement! I can imagine how nervous you were waiting to hear those results. I hear you about the name thing, a friend I grew up with has the same name as mine now that she is married! There is a big difference in that she is officially/legally a Kimberly and I am just a Kim, and thank goodness we have different birthdates. For the longest time we got each other's mail and such.

Good morning friends- happy daylight savings weekend. I am ready, although the spring forward is always a bit of an adjustment. But I am ready to have evening light back again. The state of New Mex is considering not doing the time change anymore either (our friends to the west in AZ don't change their clocks).
We had some wicked windy weather last night! The winds were howling and the house was shaking. I went out to see if there was any damage around the house or property today and all is well. I heard the winds were clocked as high as 70 mph here last night. Waking up to sunny and cold weather, but winds should be down. March is a wicked windy month here and the last two days have been bad.
Cami- I am okay friend, just busy working to transition out of this contract by end of the month. Easier said than done because they are not wanting me to say anything yet to the client or my team. Makes all harder and am sure they know some of this won't be taken well, but not my circus or monkeys. I have new work I am trying line up to continue on this spring and finishing tax work with my accountant. Busy, busy!
Been thinking of you and knowing this is a hard time for you with the loss of your cousin. Sending much love.
Janky- sounds like FL is treating you well. Happy anniversary to you and DH.
Okay, will write more tomorrow. I am off to breakfast with one friend and then helping a friend who is finally finishing her move out of state with a yard sale today.
Have a good Saturday folks!

Hi all 😀
Happy dance for Goldie’s no organ involvement!
0 -
Joining the happy dance for Lori's "uninvolved organs" (looks like we'll be making it a circle or line dance).
Janice, congrats on 44 yrs. with your Bob. (My DH is also Bob).
Mild-ish (high 30s), breezy, rainy--same for tomorrow but perhaps breaking 40. No snow till next Fri--by then I'll be in NOLA. (60 for Thurs., but as usual for late winter, accompanied by high winds). Looking forward to later sunsets, but not to losing an hr. of sleep tomorrow a.m. (or, alternatively, needing some "better living through chemistry" to make me sleepy an hour earlier tonight).
Mea culpa for being absent here for a few days. Been busy with comments on FB and Quora, dental appts. for Heidi & me, orientation reception for my upcoming Israel trip (which also has engendered more than a few disapproving comments aimed at me on FB), car trouble (dead battery due to having inadvertently discharged it for the 3d time in 5 yrs., so yesterday bought a new battery), trying to rearrange my flights from here to Amsterdam (once again, due to recent change of my arrival terminal at JFK, having too short a layover to make it through a second round of security in time for departure), and the ongoing herculean task of "culling the herd" of my clothes, shoes, books, software, old beauty supplies and obsolete electronic accessories. Definitely not used to having a walk-in closet into which I can actually walk, though there's plenty more on several clothes racks to have to winnow. After finishing dropping off castoff clothes & shoes at the local charity, instead of a yard sale, I would just give stuff away--put it all out on the lawn with a sign reading "Come & Get it or Drag it to the Dumpster!" No need to tag stuff, answer questions, hang around collecting money & making change.
Think I'll get my roots touched up this week before I leave for NOLA. I'll wait till I return from Israel to get my next keratin treatment, because I intend to go floating on the Dead Sea--and the salt would strip the keratin from my hair.
Not sure what today's DOTD will be for me--been a long time since it was mild enough to enjoy an Aperol spritz.

Hi ladies- happy daylight savings. I am awake for a bit and when I got up it was 1:45 a.m. then I looked at the clock a few minutes later and it was 3 a.m. WHAT? Then I remembered the time change is actually 2 a.m. so the time on my phone had moved ahead. Got me up to change a few more of the main ones in the house. Now begins the onslaught of watch changes and car clock changes.
Long and busy day helping my friend with her yard sale and move. Nothing was marked and she went over everything fast with me and told me things that were not negotiable. We got rid of some things and encouraged her to price things to sell which is what you do at a move sale, you are not trying to make a lot of money. But I was just there to help and we also got a lot of her kitchen and garage cleaned out and stuff put together for donations (which she took end of the day after I left). Meanwhile, I took a wad of cardboard to recycle for her and took that home to my big recycling dumpster. I also came away with a few choice items for my yard including a beautiful sculpture I have always admired that she gave to me as a gift. I have a bit of work to finish cleaning it up, but will send a photo later today. It's stunning and looks like something one might find in one of the high end art galleries in Santa Fe. I was one tired girl when I got home.
Goldie- I wanted to say how happy I am for you that you have no organ involvement with your recent scans. It sounds like you have a big of progression here and there with the bone mets, but you are managing this okay. Do you still take those FU pills?
Did you get that wind that came through here late in the week? I hear we are heading in to a week. Our fruit trees are starting to bloom so it will be good for the trees this week that need that extra moisture to do their thing.
Chi- how exciting you are going to Israel. I went in the late 1980s and one of the best trips I have ever done. Are you going on a tour or any particular places?
I find FB is not a very friendly place anymore, even with people I thought I knew better but don't spend as much time there anymore nor share much personal information for those exact reasons.
NM- how is the weather up there? Are you still getting snow?
Ill- how is the weather in TX? I talked to a colleague in Austin who said they had been experiencing big swings in temps lately. In the 80s one day and 20s the next. I sort of remember spring and fall being like that when I lived there......
Okay, back to bed. I will have more to share tomorrow. Cami need to know jazzy is okay......

Sorry for all of you that are changing time and having to deal with clocks and watches. We don't change, but I always get confused when we are traveling, mainly CA and UT, as with both we are on the same time sometimes and an hour different the other, and one is an hour ahead where the other is an hour behind. And then when we go to Laughlin, our friend there lives in AZ, with no time change and then works in NV with a change....as if I don't stay confused enough as it is!
NM, we all need a "veg" day every now and then and I hope you did just that! Funny about the friend with the same name. What is really odd, and I don't want to disclose my last name here, but it's usually spelt with an AI and mine is just an I. Hope you made it to the bean suppah.
Jazzy, getting windy here too, but supposed to rain Wed. & Thur. We'll see. Hoping your transition out of the current job goes smoothly for you and without drama. I have a friend who usually has a garage sale several times a year, but wants the most money she can possibly get, she was selling a used "Rainbow" vacuum and wanted almost what she paid for it. Can't wait to see your new gift and it was very nice of you to help her. Yes, I still take the FU pills and Xeloda shot once a month. Staying on the FU pills as I am not in any pain, regardless of the TM's. Onc told me if I experience any pain at all, to let him know and then it will be time to move on to something else. As for FB, I am mainly there for family and close friends, personal posts and pictures and I NEVER say or reply to anything in regards to politics or religion! NEVER!!! I won't even comment on memes, I don't know the person who posted that, so not putting my info out there for them.
Sandy, you sure have been busy! I too would like to be able to just put stuff out at the curb for people to take, but due to where I live, it would sit there forever...literally!
Thank you all for the Happy Dances!

Jazzy, Houston is the same as Austin weather wise, I wore a sweater a few days ago and a summer dress yesterday. Planning an outdoor crawfish boil this weekend, hopefully the weather cooperates.

Good morning again friends- I am just here to see all the cute GIF that Cami' posts, lol. Speaking of FB, I made a comment on something and someone called me a "cat lady". But I don't have cats, allergic? LOL. Perfect example of why I limit my time there.
Goldie- I was out this morning doing some pruning of my pampas grass which got huge last year with more summer rains. Going to put all the cuttings in the dumpster. There is a sort of water ring stain in one small area on the outdoor sculpture I am working to get rid of today (trying different things to get rid of it, and making progress). Once I get that finished, picture coming.
People are funny with their yard sale stuff. I did watch in amazement sometimes with the yard sale yesterday where my friend wanted $2 for something and someone would offer $1 and she would say no. I know with a moving sale, you gotta price it to go so you don't have to move stuff. She had three larger items that I expect she will try to sell otherwise on Craig's list or the like. But because she is not here anymore, it will be difficult. Anyways, I helped her twice now with move stuff and feel my efforts with moving help are good. When she sells the house this spring, she will need to come down from Denver for a truck for everything else.

Ah, the Rexair "Rainbow" vacuum cleaner/washer! Back in 1977, one of the younger interns on a campaign on which Bob & I were volunteering signed up to sell Rainbows door-to-door. IIRC at the time, they were dome-shaped and insanely expensive but apparently did everything for one's carpets except weave and install them. He asked if he could practice on us, knowing we were in no position to buy one (Bob was in med school and I was making $7/hr as an associate to a solo practitioner in a suburban law office). He went through the whole spiel--soiling the rug with various dirts and then having the Rainbow wash, steam, vacuum and dry the rug. He asked us what we thought. I answered, "I thought 'Star Wars' is making enough money that R2D2 wouldn't have to moonlight." His face fell, and I still feel sorta bad for the kid.
Speaking of kitties, I was watching "Last Week Tonight w/John Oliver," while my cat Happy was on my lap snuggling my face and purring. One segment ended with bagpipe music. As soon as the bagpipes started, Happy suddenly looked up, ears back and eyes wide--then yowled and streaked out of the room. (Insert musician joke here).
The weather warmup continues--high 40s tomorrow, rain and T-storms midweek, mid-60s and sunny Thursday. But Friday a.m. as we're leaving for Midway, the temp will plummet to 37, with snow flurries. NOLA will be in the mid-50s the whole time we're there. (And so, it seems, will Amsterdam & Jerusalem 20 days from now).
Got my body clock screwed up royally by the time change. Took my pills & CBD at 1am. Fed the cats their kibble at their usual 2am, and suddenly my watch said 3am. Ooops! Went up to bed; Heidi "tucked me in" and spent the next 10 minutes on my chest purring and rubbing her face against mine (with her ear in my eye). Was about to fall asleep when my throat started tickling and I couldn't stop dry-coughing. Glanced at the weather graphic on my watch, which read "UNHEALTHY/SENSITIVE." Then my R shin began twitching over the orthopedic hardware in it (from an old tibial fracture), and my L toe suddenly started getting "zaps" like I was sticking it in a light socket. I reluctantly took some codeine cough syrup, but I still couldn't fall asleep so I went downstairs, had a bowl of Cheerios, and watched some boring infomercial till I began nodding off about 6am. Went back upstairs, fell asleep, and then the phone rang at noon--it was Bob, who'd gone to Cellars for brunch and asked if I wanted the quiche of the day. I grunted "uh-huh," fell back asleep and then was head-butted awake by Happy, who was telling me it was time for wet food. Spent much of the day online scrounging up receipts for our taxes, then online. Bob brought home Asian food (Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese) from the joint around the corner.
So DOTD was a 2017 Fess Parker off-dry Santa Barbara-area Riesling. (One dish was pretty spicy, so it was a decent match).
My Amsterdam/Israel trip will be a tour with 40 other lawyers in the Chicago Bar Assn. Decalogue Society, and Catholic Bar Assn.., with 7 hrs. of CLE sessions (including a debate about the peace process). I arrive first in Amsterdam on Fri. 3/30 in the early a.m., with a dinner & cocktail reception. We spend all day Sat. 4/1 on a walking & tram tour of Amsterdam, including the RIjksmuseum (sp?) and a private tour of the Anne Frank House. Early rijstaffel dinner, because we need to leave the hotel at 4:30 am Sun. for a 6:30 am flight to Tel Aviv (we're taking various flights to Amsterdam but will all be on the same EasyJet flight to Ben-Gurion Airport). Bus will take us to our Jerusalem hotel, where we will likely spend some quality nap time before gathering for dinner. 3 days of CLE classes, tours of the Supreme Court & Knesset, and then sightseeing tours (I chose the Old City walking tour instead of Yad Vashem, which shook me to the core last time I visited; also Masada, Dead Sea, & Jericho; and the Mahane Yehuda market with the hotel's chef). Then back to Tel Aviv for 2 nights; my flight back to JFK is at nearly midnight, so I will check out & leave my bags with the hotel valet and take a day trip to either Haifa or one of the wineries in the hills between the Golan Hts. and Galilee. Sleep on the plane, go through Customs & Immigration (completing my Global Entry confirmation interview at JFK), recheck my bags for Chicago, TSA again, and fly home.
Decided not to take chances flying with CBD. Will put on a CBD transdermal patch before leaving home--which should kick in for my flt. to JFK and last 36-72 hrs., through landing at Schiphol. Once through passport control, will take the patch off and seal it in a plastic bag and put it back on before leaving the hotel for the 6-hr flt. to Israel. Will take it off again (assuming there's any CBD left in it) after Customs, reseal it, and reapply it for the flight back to JFK. In Amsterdam I can legally smoke or vape marijuana in "coffee shops," but not sure if they sell CBD there. If they do, I won't buy any more than I'm willing to discard when I get back to Schiphol. (The one CBD shop in town was closed by authorities, presumably on "moral" grounds but really because the licensed "coffee shops" complained that people using CBD at home was cutting into their on-site pot business--it's legal there to get stoned but not legal to get "normal"). In Jerusalem, I will see if the concierge can hook me up with an MD willing to prescribe it--a few licensed pharmacies are allowed to sell it with a prescription. My IL MMJ ID card will serve as grounds for issuing a prescription, acc. to the doc who certified me in the first place. (She knows her stuff--my other doctors affectionately call her the "Pot Lady"). Again, I won't buy any more than I'll need on the trip for pain & insomnia (and maybe another patch for the flight home--it's small enough to be covered by a (spent) Salonpas or IcyHot patch or even a large Band-Aid). How crazy is it that in the land where the endocannabinoid system was first discovered and CBD first isolated (and which now exports CBD products worldwide--including to your local vape shops or health food stores), you still can't buy it over the counter? If all else fails, I'll bring along some extra Xanax, melatonin and Tyl. #3 (which might be necessary to prevent night coughing)--all of which are legal anywhere so long as I can show the prescriptions for them. (In 1992, pharmacies in Jerusalem sold codeine phosphate--sans acetaminophen--OTC).

Hi ladies- off to work here and it's pouring out. March showers bring march flowers! I was out this morning for an early walk before the rain started (got sprinkled on) and saw some red bud, ornamental pears and plum trees starting to come out. A bit later than usual but having a "real winter" made a difference with that. All the moisture is good.
Chi- that is one fantastic trip you have planned. The areas around the Sea of Galilee were my absolute favorite. I loved Jericho too and if you get a chance, there are some way cool hot springs up on the north end of Israel next to the Golan Heights that are from Roman days. If you are with a group, unless they have that planned it may not happen but I mention it as there is nothing cooler than soaking in hot springs the Romans once used! So much history to take in there. I am hoping to go to Amstersdam next year for the first time ever.
Cami- blonde and stormy, that's me friend!
Later my peeps!

Morning DahhhhLinKs
Cami - LOL on the phones intruding on your life. The woes of having to work and the drugs we take to make us feel better, we feel better but don't get too much done. My hat is off to you and the work you do, you're very adept at it. Especially ur comment about toilies, lights and thermostat…LOL and HUGZ!!
NM - so proud of you and how you are so 'together' so soon. YAY!
Jazz - Yahoo on the wrap up…I can only imagine how good you feel seeing the 'end'. Hope you enjoyed the 70o day…Congrats girl!
JCS - glad you enjoyed P!nk…sounds like u had a marvelous time. Sending positive vibes that your PET scan turns out GOOD!!!
Janky - don't worry about posting we know u lubs us all. Jes have fun and relax as much as u can.
Lowee - No on bff staying with me. She and her dh live in Texas. I went one visit them about 3 years ago. Hated the humidy, make me very cranky. They still have family and friends in vegas and they drive to Vegas in their fancy-dancy motor home. She will drive out here in the car they tow and we'll do lunch and catch up on things. Will not be going to AZ
(Gingers) over Easter. My afore mentioned bff is coming over Easter.
YIPPIE on the lab results and bone scan…don't like the new spot on the ribs, but rest of the CT is really really good…SO FRIGGN HAPPY for you!!!!
Signing off for now, have to call the District Court and get out of jury duty…I hope.

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Monday Monkey day! The snow started yesterday, turned to rain overnight, for a little bit, so the white stuff is heavy to move this ayem. I'm also typing this note while waiting for the internet to connect, I'm thinking the satellite is iced over, the connection is just not connecting well, so I'm not sure when this will get posted. Blasted time change has me getting up in the very dark again. Yuck. The afternoon sunlight better be worth this nonsense!
Good Morning, Again, Loungettes!Happy Twofer Tuesday! The internet didn't connect before I left for work yesterday, so doing ketchup this ayem. I suspect the dish got iced over yesterday, there was lots of thawing with temps in the 40s yesterday, so it's working fine now. Sadie was not impressed with the glaze of ice on the deck this ayem, when it made her go splat on her belly. I keep trying to tell her not to go out at a dead run, but she will keep doing it!
Jazzy--seems like there's been lots of windy weather lately. Glad you've got no damage.
Illi--joining you in the dance!
Chi--floating in the dead sea sounds like a wonderful experience! Sounds like you are a very busy person just now!
Jazzy--funny how all the clock changes seem to take ages, isn't it? We got a little snow over the weekend, probably won't get much more now that March is here. Although we have gotten April blizzards before!
Cammy--LOL at the dancing kitty!
Goldie--I did make it to the bean suppah Saturday. This one had good mac and cheese, too, so I didn't eat a lot of beans. Nice to ketchup with Mom and Dick, though. And I did seriously veg over the weekend!
Illi--hope the weather cooperates for the outdoor eating! Sounds like fun.
Jazzy--Fb has gotten very strange, hasn't it? I've gone through and blocked a lot of people that I don't know, not sure how they got on my page, friends of friends I expect. I try to keep my interactions with people I know and a couple of pages of businesses I frequent. It can get crazy. Pretty statue!
Chi--you really did have trouble sleeping! And it's amazing how the rules are different for drugs in different countries.Just nuts.
Cammy--Great drinks!Thanks,
Mema--thank you! Hope you got out of jury duty. Hugs.

Sue, when I visited in Phoenix with you over Easter that one year, and we stayed the night at your cousins, I didn't think that was Ginger. I thought Ginger was the one you brought with you on our very first meet. Getting out of jury duty is easy peasy. Whenever those come here in the mail, they go right in the trash...DONE!
Are you still doing chemo?Jazzy, what a cute scupture. How tall is it? Did you get the water stain out? Could you come and help me prune, I still have lots to do, and going to have a huge mess if I don't get mese butt out there and do it!
Sandy, you are one busy chica! Lots of travels, your music, walking every where, etc. Sorry your body clock got so messed up. Hopefully you are in tune now. Private tour of the Anne Frank house, cool. Hoping you come back with lots of pictures to share.
Oh my NM, poor Miss Sadie going splat on her tummy. I love a good mac n cheese and have made it from scratch, but DH doesn't seem to like what I cook. Even with stuff from the tomatoes, I made copy cat Manwich, he prefers the canned stuff. Made pizza sauce, he prefers store bought in a bottle, can't think of what else and I think I've posted this before!
Drizzling her this morning, may get a dusting of snow. Cleaned one of my outdoor buildings over the weekend and tried cleaning the grill, the thing is huge with 2 sides, one gas and one for charcoal and a burner, and of course living where I do, those little critters get into everything, so found lots of droppings inside of it...EWWWWWW! And the grease and grime are so hard to get off. Good thing I don't use it much now. Used to use it for burgers and steaks, but since I tried them in an iron skillet, no more grill. And chicken I do in my air fryer. Hmmmmmm, maybe I should get rid of it! The only thing anymore that I do on the grill is ribs, and I do those on the weber. Never even used the charcoal side of the bigger grill! Been busy looking for and putting our website online, trying to find good ones for people that are interested in homesteading.

Mornin' Ladies,
I have so much to catch up on, and I know I won't be able to. I've been kinda floopy lately and work as kept me busy but it's no excuse and I don't even want to speak with anyone I can't understand and n top of it they get mad at me for me not understanding them so I have to act extra nice and pretend I understand, which means what I email the guys is recockulous, but when they talk to them they're surprised I got what I did from them telling me what they want. Oh this isn't a political statement I'm just expressing my feelings for people who call at 6am and I'm trying to do a job. Oh I signed up for this, but thank God this business has grown but still.......
SusyQ I hope I'm right but u sound good. Aha u got out of jury duty. I got called one time and tried to get out, my own brother wouldn't help me so I decided to make sure I put down anything that would help me, they took me anyway. Jeez But it was for one day on a coroner's one. <I didn't even know they had one> to decide on some cases if it was an accident or homicide with pictures. OH I was really being punished. I still member those horrible pics.
Kim I had no worries about u and ur new position. Ur way to good to not do something outstanding. Why don;t u live next door to me girl, I'd keep u busy aaaaa but no pay so ur better off where u are. But the weather is about the same.
Sandy ur trip sounds incredible and u keep up with everything in ur life. That's so wonderful for u and ur family. U r having a beautiful retirement with everything u've probably dreamt for and u've worked very hard for it, in a lot of ways and overcome so much.
And Lori I really don't know how u do all u do. Ur amazing. Ur garden alone is so much work cuz u preserve so many goodies but u keep on doing more and more. And u know I hope ur mom can do the best she can now , this is so stressful for u.
Well Janky is doing well enjoying her vacay. Lubs it.
Jazzy my friend u always have things under control, I never seem to worry about u, unless something is off of course....but ut so in charge and u know how to play and enjoy urself and ur pics are always amazing me. I do get concerned when ur bidding on a job cuzz I always feel like u should get anything u bid on and I get upset when u don't get something u want. And I also enjoy ur videos A LOT..
All right I haven't in my head forgotten anyone but I just don't remember the posts. and I think of u often and my <<<prayers>>> are with u all. Going thru chemo and rads is chit and all the after thing of waiting for tests. Oh I still have a "thing" on my rib bone we've been watching for 5 yrs. now, for what thats worth.
I'm watching a commercial and wondering why I don't like chipotle, see how complicated my brain is.???
LUBS U ALL

My weekend in the mountains was great in spite of the rain and fog. We caught up on work stuff and shared info about our personal lives. We also drank wine into the wee hours of the night! My Neulasta patch did its thing on Saturday. The girls were very entertained. Even after taking the Claritin, there are aches that keep me confined to the couch unless I need the bathroom.
Went for the PET scan this AM. Everything went very smoothly. The actual scan only took about 15 minutes. Will get the results on Friday when I see the MO. I gave him another list of questions to answer. Hopefully he will do as well as last time. My one friend really wants me to get a second opinion. I probably will, but not until I am unhappy about my progress with this MO.
Sounds like everyone is traveling and enjoying what life has to offer. I do like this group!
Take care.

I got out of jury duty in Nov. 2015 when I was going through radiation--which of course must be done daily, and the jury duty date fell smack dab in the middle of treatments. The county has never called me back. But recently I was exempt again because GEICO is pursuing a "subrogation" suit for property damage against the guy who T-boned Bob's car; and the defendant's dirt-bag "captive" law firm (wholly owned by a cheapo substandard insurance company) refused to settle, even after the defendant lost the mandatory arbitration; after a wildly damaging deposition they finally caved in Oct. and settled. Bob immediately got called after that: he loves jury duty because it gives him the chance to catch up on reading and have a nice lunch downtown. He's never been empaneled; I was, twice in one day--but both times the minute I mentioned I'm a retired attorney and had done a few vehicle cases, I got kicked off.
Heading out now to get de-rooted and de-split-ended. Bob'll be home too late tonight for dinner, or even to watch "Bohemian Rhapsody" before the download from DirecTV expires. So I'll be settling in with leftover lo mein, kung pao chicken and a little riesling. (Popcorn would have been nice, but I must use up those leftovers before we leave for NOLA).

This looked pretty and springy.
