    NM, I'll house sit Snookie if you ever need a sitter!  I have really been struggling getting back into the work thing.  So tired everyday.  I go to PS tomorrow.  Bruises have all healed from lipo.  I am just suffering post surgery fatigue.  I guess I better a grab a bucket of beer and a floatie and see if I can't get out of this black hole I am in.  Maybe someone will be there to visit with.  Nice we have a drink for the day!  Good job Dee.  Going to look at Wahines video now. Take care all you lounge lizards......see ya at the pool!  HunkyD

    HunkyD, Let us know how your PS visit goes...glad your bruises are healed, but it does take some time for you to recover from all that surgery. Your body has been through a lot, so understandably your energy is not back to normal yet. Plus all the holiday stress..... Here, grab my hand, I am pulling you up out of that black hole....time to have some fun at the HTL! Just relax, you deserve it...let Pants and Jocks pamper you....maybe Pants will give you a foot massage while Jocks gets you a nice strong drink (or two...or three)! Enjoy the pool!

    Dee, Can't wait to see what our drink will be tomorrow!

    From one lounge lizard to another....CHEERS!

     Morning girls,

    Hunky, I am helping Kathy pull you out of that hole. We just can't have that. Good luck at your appt.

    NM, 85lb dog in your lap....Holy Cow! Are you going to be going through surgery soon?

    Cute video Kathy, I love those flash mob dances. Have you seen the one from Oprah, with Black Eyed Peas?

    Dee, how are feeling? You must be bouncing back quickly, or just not saying anything?

    Was gonna and say hi to everyone else...individually...but wasn't sure I would remember everyone! And I wouldn't want anyone to feel left out!

    Cindy.....what  page are you on??? Shall we have Jocks bring you a drink?

    I  kid you not....

     

    New Wine  for Seniors

    California vintners in the Napa Valley area, which primarily produce Pinot  Blanc, Pinot Noir and Pinot Grigio wines, have developed a new  hybrid grape that acts as an anti-diuretic.
    It is expected  to reduce the number of trips older people have to make to the  bathroom during the night.      


    The new  wine will be marketed as


    PINO MORE



    I  HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE I just couldn't help it!

    Dee.....YAY...FINALLY a WHISKEY WEDNESDAY...to get WASTED!!! Love it! And Lori, I love the "NEW" wine for seniors......that was so funny....I copied it and sent it to my parents too. Hope junie, HunkyD, jaybird, NM, Erika, Donna, CAZ, Harley, and anyone I missed, are having a great HUMP DAY! I will be babysitting again this afternoon, so will have to wait to imbibe. But will join you all later at the Banana Hammock! I have a new bikini I want to try on (NOT!).....

    Cheers to PINO MORE,

    Hubby on way to likker store to stock up before next snow storm rolls in later tonight--thinking to call his cell and ask him to look for some Pino More!!!   Donna, can't you keep that white stuff over your way?   Quit sending it on to me!!!   In addition to the nasty weather, it is so horribly cold--think we will get below zero tonight.   Not used to winter temps this cold.....brrrrr.  Glad it is wsrm and cozy at the HTL!   Back later for happy hour!!!!

    junie, Wonder how much snow you will get? They have been forecasting us having snow tomorrow, for DAYS....now they predict 1/2" to 1"!!! Schools in other counties have already decided to be closed tomorrow.....Surprised We DO have a lot of elevated roads, so if we do get snow/ice, then they have to close the main arteries. Interesting....think I will indulge in my WHISKEY WEDNESDAY drink for WACKY WEDNESDAY!

    Join me!

    YAY for THIRSTY THURSDAY!!! Dee, can I subtitle today also as "TIDE THURSDAY"??? Tonight at 7 CST, the CRIMSON TIDE (ALABAMA) play in the bowl game in Pasadena....and we are SOOOOOOOOO hoping for a big championship win!!!! Even my dentist is there...so many Bama fans went from here, that they had to add extra flights! Football is very big here....when you meet someone one of the first questions might be "Are you for Alabama or Auburn"...LOL. My DD in TX is a big fan too, so even though they are playing TX, she will definately be rooting for Alabama. I will be watching the game at home with DH...so please help us cheer them on. ROLL TIDE!!!!!

    And yes, I am thirsty too....so please bring me a Bloody Mary, Jocks!!!

    Go Bama,

    Kathy

    Hi gals - happy to be here for Thirsty Thursday, think I'll find my usual pool float & take a dip. Oh hi! Is that you Hunky? Nice to see you, hope you're getting some rest and pampering, & feeling better. (Hope it's ok that I told my PS about the "mexican gun belts", in reference to my upcoming exchange - he laughed out loud, which is unusual for him, a rather quiet analytical-type doc. Just wanted to say "thanks" for the laugh!!)

    Hope everyone is well, warm, and watered!

    Cheers! E

    Wahine, you have pigskin fever...hope you enjoy the game.  I am headed to get my own bucket of beer...different brand.  I'm thirsty!  Erika, funny about the "gunbelt"  I think your PS probably understood about it then.  Yesterday at my appointment, they gave me my nice robe to put on.  They have a seperate waist belt with them.  I put my robe on and left the belt laying on the docs rolling stool.  He came in an picked up the belt and looked at me.  I said "I don't want to put it on, it reminds me of that damn strap"  He laughed at that too...he said ok....looked at boobs, and said "you can quit the strap.  I was soooooooo Happpppy!  I wish you all a happy Alabama whamma!  HunkyD

    brrrrr or grrrrr (both describe my current mood).   Left my boots, earmuffs, gloves, and parka at the front door.   Called ahead and Jocks has my bucket iced down.   Grabbing it with a quick hug for him and heading out to the hot tub to defrost these cold old bones!    ahhhhh, ice-cold ML and perfect hot tub temp--plan to stay right here until spring!!!

    Hope all caught up in winter's clutches are safe and warm.   Wahine, don't have tv on so hoping your BAMA boys are kicking ass!!!   Not much of a football fanatic, but hard to root for the hometeam with the nickname HOGS!!  (Arkansas).   I do have the "Go HOGS---SOOOOEY   SOOOEY" call down pretty good.  It's just that I use it inappropriately, sometimes when they aren't even playing!    I blame the ML at the HTL for that mess up!!!

    hugggssss to all...be safe; stay warm.    DRINK UP !!!

    go, BAMA

    YAY is RIGHT, Dee!!!! Thanks for all the help cheering them on....thanks to junie, and to HD's DH also! That was a great game...I don't usually watch football, or any ball game....BUT this one was superb!! New NATIONAL CHAMPIONS.....won it by 37-21. I agree junie, it would be hard to cheer for HOGS....LOL. Love that you have the call down pat, for when you need it....sooooo funny, I can just hear you doing the SOOEY SOOEY!!! Well, now you can say "ROLL TIDE ROLL....

    HD and Erika, sooooooo funny how you made your doctors laugh....esp when they are usually so serious. I made the mistake at my last gyn visit of saying something that made my gyn laugh so hard....(asked him if he found any cobwebs)...but I was in the stirrups at the time.....bad move....LOL.

    Dee, I am soooooo lost now. What is our DRINK for the day???? Should be a good one since it is Friday (yay for all you workin gals), and it is a day to celebrate BAMA's victory!!! Something Crimson I guess (for Crimson Tide)....maybe with the red rising up like in that lava drink? So it looks like the Crimson Tide rising up???? I know you'll come up with something good! I'll put my order in, in advance...."Pants, please bring me that Crimson Tide drink Dee has concocted....!".

    ROLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL    TIDE     ROLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!

    It's FROSTY Friday Kathy :)

    So have all the cold beverages your heart desires. The Crimson Tide drink sounds good, I may have to try one meself :0)~ We got 4 inches since yesterday and it's still coming down! I just want to go home and crawl in bed to stay warm. Luv and hugs to all!

    Brrrr wind chill of 8 right now..said it will be -10 windchill overnight. NOW...you all that get lots of snow will prob laff at this, but our school systems have been closed for 2 days..we got about an inch of snow (+ or-), but lots of elevated main roads....so several roads were closed also....very cold so no melting. I was expecting lots of parcels via UPS yesterday...and looked at the tracking and they delayed it till today "Due to Weather Emergency"! But really we don't have many snow removal vehicles, so that was prob very smart on their part! Just hope they don't slip on my sidewalk if they deliver them all today. TOASTY warm inside though......

    Cheers to the Crimson Tide!!!

    Way to go 'Bama!!  I only watched the first quarter, then had to go to bed, was soooo tired. Walked on the treadmill, then went out to shovel snow - told hubby that this was a huge victory for me - not only did I feel like I *could* shovel snow, I actually *wanted* to be outside - so much different than the "old' me. But, I'm 8.5 weeks out from surgery, so I'm putting it in the W column.

    Kids off school today, so we're hanging around home. But I'll stop in later for a raspberry martini or two - they just sound soooo good! 

    Have a great day all!!  E

    Nooooooooooo Dee!!! You FOUND him, and he has HIS OWN bar....yikes!!!! That must be why he has been so quiet lately....he is getting totally drunkers! Looks like he is settled in for the long haul. AARRGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Well, on another thought, maybe he is SO excited about BAMA's championship win, that he just felt he had to celebrate too...LOL. My real wish is that he is a figment of my imagination and is totally NOT in the attic....VERY wishful thinking....bordering on the absurd...it has been too brrrrrrrrrrrrr cold to check on him lately.

    OK....Pants please bring me a few shots of something good (I don't do shots,so this will be interesting!!!).

    Cheers to SHOTS SATURDAY,

    DEE!!!! Those are so pretty!  I can't decide what color to drink first!  I think I'll start with the dark blue one in the upper left corner, then the light blue one on the bottom right, then maybe one fo the green ones. . . .

    Love the pics Dee!  If NativeMainer leaves me any shots :), I'll do a green one.

    Hunky - hey there little Missy, there will be no sulking at the HTL! :). Believe me, I felt every shovelful the next day - and in retrospect, it was *not* the best idea I've ever had. At the very least it was cold & drier, which made the snow powdery & not as heavy. Thankfully the TT's keep things shoveled around here!! Seriously, is there anything I can do for you? You've been through so much, and dealt with everything with such good humor - you are definitely an inspiration, and my heart goes out to you. Here's a little boat, so you can sail right over that rough patch.  {{hugs}}

    Hope everyone is well and warm - take care, xo - E

Of course, I am sure Pants and Jocks have the other fountains going also....lots of yummy drinks. AND they do make a nice buffet....so lets chow down!!!

    Cheers to lots of Bubbly!
