how about drinking?

Stanzie....French Press is ridiculously easy. Just put the amount in the bottom, fill with boiling water and put the top part on. Then, after a few minutes, you push the plunger down. That's it.
It doesn't plug in, so you are safe that way.
I have one of those, and I have a Melitta one cup cone. That's it. I am primarily a tea drinker, so have an electric kettle. So go get yourself one, or two in different sizes.
Life is too short to go without fabulous coffee.
Junie....I am so sorry. Agree that not fair, but think you are on the mend. Usually feeling frustrated is a major sign of starting to get better. Make that some quality cheese, perhaps brie with some good winter apples.
Take a leaf out of Beans' book and plan a fab vacation for when you are well enough to travel again. And something special for your Sweetie DH. He deserves it.
I don't "prowl malls". I do resale and eBay. But need to restrain myself until some $$ comes in from the work I have been doing.
Yes, guys do feel this. Main Squeeze told me that when I was first diagnosed, he had to pull over and compose himself. I didn't learn this until recently. He felt he needed to be the strong one. (Very different from my ex who would have wanted me to console HIM.)
Did an early night last night. Ended up drinking a fab wine from the wine bar/club made by a local vintner. It's called Grace....with the circonflex over the a, so pronounced "grass". I just got it and was saving for a special occasion.....DUH!!!!
Then three chocolates. Had a steak dinner with the 2 for 1 sale at Met Market. So yummy.
My great news is that my insurance agent called yesterday to make sure I got locked into some cheaper rates. I reshaped someone't bumper back in the summer, so was going to pay dearly for it. So, with another carrier, just a few dollars more. YAY!!! Then great news on her end....she is expecting, and should have her little boy within the week.
So wonderful when people are on the case and help you out. - Claire

G'Morn...had a good checkup and was told to stop my incessant worrying. Then was told ooph proly a good idea for me, but hyster is still ??? and proly not needed. The thing with ovarian is they can't detect it early and once you have it it's bad news...it's an outpatient procedure with a short recovery time...so I think I'd be wise to do it. But, I think I'll put it off till next year as there doesn't seem to be any huge rush. So next checkup in 3 mo.
Now onto fun stuff like more wine tasting and more dog beers. Cheers and titz up!!

Now for da resta da story...don't know if you 'member me talkin that I wuz gittin twitchy 'bout filling out all those zillions of ???'s when ya gotta see a new doctor...well, den dere wuz the regular follow-up. Well, it just shud be no big deal, but more and more tense I got den da night before this bean just about jumped outta her skin. I got myself so worked up I was crying and carrying on and when I added too much salt to the dinner I was makiing it just threw me over the edge and there I went boohooing all over the place. Poor DH had a mental case on his hands...It got worse and worse and I just got my knickers in such a big twist about everything...couldn't sleep...layed in bed near hyperventillating and looking at the clock thinking...only 6 more hours and I gotta get up and drive 3 hours...what a wreck and bundle of nerves...finally found one of those fukitols (thanks NM) and somehow conked out for a few hours. Got to the doctor just sure she'd say looks like your cancer came back sorry the treatments didn't work we need to schedule you for a surgery right away and a new chemo regimen...or something like that...freaking irrational fears...that night I was just lying there praying to God to please please please take care of me. How am I ever going to live with this constant fear?? My check up in reality went just fine. Well I won't have to go back for 3 months. We discussed my worries with my med oncologist and she recommended a book called Dancing in Limbo...So have it ordered! Till it gets here I'll be waiting by the pool, on a lounger in the sun sipping a very large tequila sunrize and basking on a warm sunny day...will anyone join me??

Beanie- Whew! when reading your post I felt like I was holding my breath for you!!! So glad you they calmed you down a bit. I get like that too and over worry!
Claire- well no plugs - sounds easy I'm in for the French press once I find one but I don't think that will be too hard. I do actually have an electric kettle and my daughter uses it even more than me! Might as well have her start early on the health benefits of tea! Congrats on the insurance news!

Stanzie - Thanks for your kind words...I'm fine today but felt like when I used to drag my cat to the vet.
I'm sorry I got behind on posts too. Golldarn my moods can change on a dime...now I'm all excited cuz looks like we may get a break in the weather to go to the mountains this weekend...I really think we might build that cabin this year and we're talking to an architect as we already have a builder. I will have a lot of stuff to pack since we've been here for months for all my treatments. I really don't need to see any doctors for 3 months - yahooo!!! Then when we get back I'll have to get out my screw shoes for jogging in the ice...can't remember if I posted those before...
TITZ UP!

Pau Hana Time!!! Time to get weally weally dwunk! Dorothy, My gawd you had a busy day! I do hope your dr appt went well and there can be a simple fix for that dang numbness. Hope to hear good news from you! Did you ever find that contact lens?
Kymn, Wow....into the teen years.....that can be rought sometimes. I think there are 3 (Stanzie,and AStorm) of you here with teens? I may be missing someone, if so, I am sawwy. And I bet your 8 yr old is precious! Big family when you add in the stepkids....keeps ya young! Hope you watch the Bachelor soon....it WAS a good show! I like to zone out with shows like that. I won't even give you a teeny weeny hint!
Lori, Are you back? Wanna hear all about your romantic surprise trip! Well, you can leave SOME stuff out....LOL.
Beans, WooHoo, I do hope you get to build this year! That would be awesome. We will have to have a "roof raising" here! Sawwy you had some rough days. Is that your kitty cat? Looks so sweet. And good idea about screws in the shoes....no way of slipping.....well, I prob would find a way to slip and fall, regardless.
Kymn, Join me in a drink! I am *starting* with Seagrams/Diet Coke. Meet you by the pool...the tenders are lighting the tiki torches right now, and it is soooooo beautiful! Junie, HD, NM, AStorm, Stanzie, etc., etc., etc.......come and join in the fun!

I am here Kathy. I also see Beans and Kymn flirting with our darling, Pants. Kymn, the bus will be picking us all up soon to go with Margaret to court tomorrow. I hope she checks in with us.
Beans, so glad you are outta of panic mode. I know what you mean about crazy thoughts going through yor mind. You are sounding so much better and I am so happy that you are happy. A new home sounds glorious. You have been through so much and you deserve nothing but happiness (as all of you do).
Claire, I laffed when I read that you reshaped someone's bumper. 2010 was a bad year for me, I crashed my car twice and my daughter crashed in once. I paid out of pocket for a new bumper when my daughter crashed it then had a accident in the snow a few weeks later and wrecked my car which I only owed $1200.00. I traded it in for a new car, another Infiniti. I am now rethinking my love of luxury cars, mine eats gas and I could trade it in for a less expensive care and save lot. I may have to. I have had four Infiniti's now and am so hooked. And yes, my insurance went from $1400 a year to $2200, I should have just had the darn car fixed for a third time instead of getting a new one.I have a rich girl's taste and a poor girls bank account.
Kathy, I walked out of the seminar today, it was about our new benefits and I got upset. The good thing is that others followed me. I won't get in trouble for it since it was not manditory. My doc appointment went well, doc is taking me off effexir as I can not afford it. My income dropped in half this past year due to being on disability for so long. As for the numbness in my hand, he said the nerves may regenerate but might not. And as far as my "trick" leg, he thinks it is bursitus and the cure is to get moving. He wants to to ride a bike. We have a full gym at work so I supposed I will start cycling. Maybe I can bike with Claire some day.
Stanzie, how is the filming going? BTW, I watched the Valentine movie and just starred at the house.Was the old version of the house the same home? It was really cool knowing it was your neighbors house and that you met Betty WhiTe. Oops, I gotta run, DH made me tacos and it is time to eat. And drink. And be Mary. Cheers girls, love ya all!!

Oh goodie, some cool chicks are showing up finally. Where do I catch the bus for Margaret tomorrow, and can we all go along tipsy???
0 -
Beans, I think they are sending two buses since Margaret is in OH (I believe).That way, we get there kwicker and yes, why of course with lotta loads of kikker!! And I must say you sure are cool beans. Love your new avatar.
Well I am going to pop into the chapel, thinking of NM, Junie, Chrissy, Margaret, HD, My girl Lori,Kath, my exercise guru,Claire and Stanzie, Astorm, Karen and even Karin and of course you Kymn, God bless ya girl, the beginning is the worst, you will get through it. Here is to you, Kymn, cheers to courage, you can do this.
I will also be praying for my dear parents who are having a rough time. My Dad had spine surgery today and my Mom has early stage dementia. They live in Myrtle Beach. My sister, Marianne, flew out on Monday then my Oldest sister Alice will be flying out when my other sister comes back to NJ on Sunday. It hurts that I can't be with them. My dear mother comes and goes with her memory but she has come up with some doozie statements. She has told people that my Dad is in the mafia and also a bra maker??? Okay. My sister told me today that Mom thinks my sister is Dad's nurse. It is really sad, a tiny bit entertaining but nonetheless, we know they have a rough road ahead of them and are trying to get them to move back to Jersey. Sorry for the rant but needed to express this as I have been in de-nile over this one too. I'd appreciate if you all will pop in the chapel and say a prayer for my family and while you are there, a prayer for all of us special ladies. I am feeling emotional, time to go back to DeNile NJ, that is my second home! A mountain or shore house sounds splendid right now. Wishing you all peaceful thoughts and sending you all dwinks and hugs. Here is to us, CHEEEEEERZZ~~

Oh Dorothy I am so sorry to hear about what your parents are going through right now. And of course, how it hurts and affects you and your siblings (and all your parents grandchildren). How did your dad's surgery go? I hope he can recover fully. So hard being so far away. I will definately keep all of your family in my prayers. Hope you all can convince them to move back to Jersey. OR get some sort of document so you can move them back to be near you all. That is just so hard, and something I sure am dreading when I am faced with a similar thing. I haven't been to Myrtle Beach in YEARS. Had my first honeymoon there, back in '69! And haven't been back since the early 70's. I can only imagine how it has changed from a simple beach with cottages for rent, to high rises, etc. Please let us know how they are doing, when you know more. Dorothy, I do hope your numbness will go away, and the nerves will regenerate. Sorry you had to walk out of the seminar too. You just have a lot on your plate right now....hoping things will settle down.
Well, glad we had an expert doing the water heater install today. They couldn't turn off the water at the street, so the water co had to come out...they couldn't turn it off either. They ended up tearing up half the yard...and it had been so nice as my DH really worked on it a lot, and got it looking beautiful. Wonder how much water we paid for that was dribbling in the soil? Few more things to do b4 putting it up for rent. Hope we live through this!
ChEARS to you wonderful girlz here! Junie, HD, how are you two doing?

OH Kathy some pool time sounds marvelous hope my chopped up boobie still floats lol. Yes the teenage years can be a challenge, my oldest stepdaughter 18 has been a challenge, the world is here for her and we are allowed to participate as long as we play by her rules lol. My son 14 so far hasnt been too much trouble he is a really sensitive caring young man. He is ADHD with some aspergurs tendancies so it has been a long road getting him to the point he is at now, he now has a group of friends and is finally catching up with his peers emotionally. It has been worth all the extra work and advocating for him...I always tell him Bill Gates has apergures and he is the richest man in the world and does amazing things for people. My daughter Tenille who is 8 I suspect is ADD but not as intense as Derek will just have to work harder to keep focused but she is a riot, such a sense of humour and so adorable and Hannah my 12 year old stepdaughter is an absolute delight.
Beanius I am enjoying my rye and diet of course
dont stray much from it unless its champaign or Tequilla lol but that has to be a pretty special night to take that walk on the wild side.Dorthy so sorry to hear about your folks, I sometimes laugh at my mom because she is so forgetfull and argumentitve when you tell her that she got dates wrong or that she already had that info but it is a bit scary to wonder if all her faculties arent quite there anymore. I will be adding them to my prayer list for sure. Hows your old friend Jack tonight
. I will be joining you all on the bus to support Margaret and backing some to go cups and will grab a bag of ice oh and I will bring a couple packs of gum lol cant go into the court house smelling like we were having fun its a no fun zone dont you know lol.We are under a snow fall warning for tomorrow Damn it was hoping spring was on its way that damn gofer didnt see his shawdow so I should be expecting some sunshine soon.
Ok girls after this road trip tomorrow you are going to have to go home and repack time to head on up to Canada for surgery on Friday, make sure you put on the winter tires you might need them here.
Time to refill the drink and head to the hot tub love to you all

Kymn-- just in general for you and some others who have recently popped into the HTL......I am a long-time poster to the drinking thread. My dx was IDC. Had lumpectomy, ax node dissection (all clear); 4 A/C chemo and rads, followed by 5 yrs of Tamoxifen. Somewhere back about 400 pages or so (LOL) I went to some get-togethers and met some of the original drinking thread girls.....have just kind of hung around ever since......
my current crappy happening is that just after Christmas I suffered a collapsed lung. We live in a very remote, rural area and although our vol 911 responders got me to a hospital quickly, my problem was much advanced for the area hospital. They did the proper surgery (but didn't get it quite right!!!) Ended up with a $6,000+ ambulance ride to a major lung hospital in St Louis, MO where I spent most of the month of January. I had some major surgery there by an outstanding lung specialist. Sooooooo, this coming Friday, I will be home for all of 3 weeks. I seem to be having excellent follow-up care from our local county health personnel. Have two phys therapists in 2-3 times a week and the visiting nurse calls or visits every couple days. We did not want to continue follow-up visits with the pulmonologist in St Louis (would be 6 hr drive one-way and overnight stays....) so he has lined me up with a semi-local (about an hour drive away) pulmonologist. First follow-up with him is March 9th--I have a kazillion questions to ask him as this is a whole new ball game for me to deal with.
I keep thinking back to my bc treatment days--how scared I was--how I knew I just could not do all that scary awful horrid stuff--but I did! So, I tell myself now that I can do this; I will do this; I will get better (and, I WILL hug our Miss Wahine in Tunica again!!!!). I am currently on oxygen 24/7--that is a wild trip! Anyways, my sense of humor is making a come-back attempt but I am just pretty bummed out for now.
Some of the dr/hospital bills are starting to trickle in--dear sweet DH has assumed watch-dog duty over these and he has some advice that applies to any medical billing situation.......CALL and question EVERYTHING!!!! Received a bill today for several thousand bucks....DH called and lo and behold by the time he got off the phone, we owe $23.00!!!!!!!!!! Big dif!!!!
Sorry to all--didn't mean to hi-jack the drinking thread.........although I haven't felt like posting much and god knows my brain cannot keep up with some of you smart farts--reading this thread has been my sanity salvation and I cherish each and every one of you!!!! I had thought that having bc and the subsequent treatments and all that crap was as awful an experience as anyone could ever experience.....I am now beginning to think it gave me strength and "building blocks" and knowledge to deal with other awful health issues........
Heading poolside and yes--grabbing me a bucket of dog beers! Glad to see another Miller Lite lover posting, but lord what a time that one is having--Cherokee best wishes--let us know wha' happens.....
bottoms up!!!!!!

Aarrgghhhhh.....lost another post! This teeny netbook is harder to do split screens on, so I will just try to retype when I lose it. Another night of little sleep....will get back to the melatonin tonight! But Junie, SO glad you posted, as its always great hearing from you! And also I am glad you explained what has happened, as I just told a little bit of it here, wanting it to come from you. I respected your privacy, and knew when you were up to it, you could post about what you have gone through. But everyone knew you needed prayers, and how long you were in the hospital! And you know what? You haven't been able to post for so long, that you can n"hijack" this thread or take several pages to write one post if you want to! I can't wait to get together in Tunica again!!! Hang in there girl, you are so strong and determined to get well, that I know you can do it, and come out on top! We are here for you, so if you need to vent sometime, feel free to do so. Nice having you back, drinking the dog beers!!!
And Kymn and other newer posters, yes, Junie is the one who has been on this thread the longest (other than maybe Jaybird, as I am not sure when she started on this thread). When I joined the drinking thread, only Junie and Jaybird are still here, from those that were posting at that time. And Jaybird, we DO miss you, so hope you will come drink with us some more! CAZ used to pop in a lot, as well as some others who we have not seen in a long time. We have a real good group here again, and its such fun to hang out with you all! But when someone new pops in, so often it is just for 1-2 posts and they never come back (or just lurk?), so sometimes I don't really get involved with them till I know they are staying for awhile. It is amazing how many are out there lurking and reading our posts, but not joining in. Once we all created the HTL, it has been so much fun, and a good place to escape. So glad for all that have stayed and enjoyed drinking here, whether in reality or in cyber-space!!! ChEARS!
Margaret, good luck today! And everyone with dr visits, hoping all will go really well this week! Lori, Still waiting to hear that you got back home safely. And hope the new gal works out! Anyone have a good "HumpDay" drinnk???? I wrote so much, now I forgot to comment on the other posts. Sheesh! Well, I think of you all, and hope today is a good one!
Chairs! TITZ UP! Cancer Chupa!

Junie--I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say it's ok to highjack the drinking thread. You've been through so much, and its good to get reminders about checking bills and things. Glad you're home, glad you're follow up is closer to home, praying you get all better really soon!
Sounds like Valentine's Day wasn't exactly a hit for everyone. Personally, I hate this holiday. Theres only been 1 or 2 years in my life that I was not single, so I find all this couple stuff boring, bordering on irritating. Not that I'd ever say anything to my co-workers or students or family, but I'm thinking "yeah, so what?" the entire time I'm listening to the "V-Day" stuff. Ah, well, such is life.
Yesterday was the 3rd 12 hour clinical day. Very long but very good day. Boy am I tired by the time I get home! Slept in until 7 this am, but didn't get to sleep until after 3, probably because of all the coffee I drank yesterday afternoon/evening to keep me going. And it did keep me going, to the bathroom!
One of my co-workers has a coffee press she uses at the office, it looks like fun and the coffee smells soooooooooooo good!
Let's see, what kind of DOTD would be good for a chilly Wednesday? How about a Chocolate Valentine--
3/4 oz Seagram's Vanilla Vodka
3/4 oz Dark Creme de Cacao
1 splash Cream
1/2 oz Cherry Juice
1 splash Soda Water0 -
I'M HOME! What a fabulous hubby I have. We did a dinner show at Excalibur, Tournament of the Kings. Jousting show, where you ate with your fingers. That was Sunday night. Then on Valentines, we went to New York New York and saw Zumanity. Amazing doesn't come close to describing it!
Anyways, I see I am 4 pages behind! Just read about Junie and Stanzies bad day with the crying and Stanzie's visit with her friend. I am so sorry about both issues. Junie, you have been through so much, you cry as much as you need to. But I know how strong you are, you WILL get there. Stanzie, I don't know what to say about your friend. Shocking! At least you have us here.
Dorothy...white out fumes! My mom had a fetish like that, but it was gasoline. She would keep some in a little pill bottle and take a whiff every now and then!
I am on page 413, but need to get moving.

Yummm NM, you always get the purrfect DOTD! Even though you're not a fan of Valentines Day, you still gave us a Valentine Drink....you are awesome. It really sounds good! Love the pics, esp the "Hi Jack" one and the hammer smashing the val hearts. Made me LOL.
Chrissy, So sorry your 'puter bit the dust. SO frustrating! Pop in when you can, and hope you can get a replacement soon. Take care!
Hoping some of you are having this gawgeous weather we are having here...upper 60's to low 70's all week....yay!!! Did we really have snow just a few days ago????
Lori, WB!!! Sounds like such an awesome trip! What a nice surprise!!!

Oh My so much to catch up on...... Goldie! Wow, sounds absolutly lovely what a sweet guy!
My on again off left 6 roses for me and then last night went out for an OK dinner - it was alright not great. Had hoped for more since things have been not great for a while and he said he really wanted to try harder....
My friend wrote and sort of apologized - sort of as she explained her side ..... don't really buy all of it. I think the worst part is she was someone I felt safe with to open up and really talk to and felt like she slammed the door in my face so how do you undo those feelings?
Dorothy, yes they did make the house dilapidated and fixed up. They are not filming near here anymore. Now those friends are so sweet. All I did was go over while they were filming( oh twist my arm!) and check it all out and then make one phone call and went and picked up keys. Well she came by yesterday and gave me a gift certificate with this wonderful Massage lady who has helped her tremendously. She had a very odd and rare ailment. It was chronic appendecititus which is ver complicated but apparently it migrated and built up tons of scar tissue where she was barely able to walk and lost all energy and this went on for many years. So this is only her second year of feeling ok and being"normal". Anyway, she has so much scar tissue when lying down she couldn't lift her right leg. The doctor's told her she wouldn't get better. She went to this massage lady and in the first session she can now move her leg easily! So I'm excited to try!!! I have problems with both legs and would love someone to work on my BC scars on my back still hurt tremendously.
Junie. Oh my what on earth to say.... I'm so very sorry what a horrendous ordeal you have and still are going through. I had no idea a collapsed lung could be so difficult. So glad you are on the way to recovery and I guess no recovery is as quick as one wants or hopes it to be. But hoping you get back to feeling great and off oxygen soon. I had a very minor lung problem when I was in the hospital with my boys - my lungs filled up with fluid and remember how painful it was and how long I had to do the breathing exercises - still can't quite breathe like I used to - nothing compared to what you have had happen.... just really can't even imagine. You are very brave and very strong!
Well hope the court day goes well for you, Margaret! I had a good friend have a divorce court date yesterday and my cousin has one to do for her deadbeat ex and child support so lots of people at the courthouses.....
NM - I agree with you - even when I was married Valentines day was usually a disappointment. At my kid's school they could buy candy grams for friends and neither of my kids got one. My daughter said all her friends gave each other ones but she didn't get one - But she didn't give one either.... maybe she knew? I just hate all this stuff cause feeling still get hurt.
Kymn - Ok is a rye and diet whisky and some diet drink? I guess I always read these posts in the morning and somehow I got the impression it was some kind of local breakfast drink with a funny name like those British .... oh shoot can't think of the one I want to but like Bisquits for cookies - the one I'm thinking of is amusing but" oh, brain where art thou?"
Ok will post this and have to find a very funny British skit someone had on facebook and it is so for me and for all my fellow non - computer or electric friends.....

Well can't even figure how to copy and paste for the address....oh I so need computer lessons....
Anyway it is http:www.flixxy.com/my-blackberry-is-not-working.htm
And yes I have a blackberry too- when I tried to backup all my contacts it didn't work and in the process erased all my contacts! I can't retrieve messages - don't even know when I have messages and in trying to recreate my contacts - I can't figure out where incoming call numbers are located so I'm with him my blackberry isn't working nor my apple and I do need a date with a computer tech! Towards the end I love it when the other guy is about to burst out laughing! Enjoy!

Good Morning all.
Goldie welcome back glad you had a great time in Vegas, I love Vegas have been their twice now and when all this treatment is over and one with DH and I are planning a week there. I cant wait.
Junie Thank you for your post its nice to have some background on you lovely women I am sorry you are going through another Health issue, like BC isnt enough spread the wealth already lol. When I have calm moments in my brain I try and think that God is preparing me for something by making me go through this. Of course it is something much more glamourus than another health scare sigh my imagination does get the best of me sometimes.
Kathy its ok that you take awhile to get to know someone, I am like that in life been hurt by too many people and so I really dont trust too easy.Just so you know I am here to stay
Stanzie speaking of getting hurt I know what you mean about having someone you trust so completly slam the door in your face so to speak. Last year I found out my so callled best friend was sending racy actually downright dirty pictures to my DH on his blackberry.I trusted and loved her like a sister, it took a whole year to get over that and I was thinking to myself thank god 2010 is over 2011 is going to be a great year, I had dealt with all the betrayl and felt I was healing and then Jan 10 WHAM get hit with this.God I wished I had a best friend now but if she could do that to me then obviously she wasnt one. Sorry ladies didnt mean to get so deep and personal there anyhow Stanzie yes Rye and Diet is Rye whiskey (I prefer silk tassel) and Diet pepsi some use coke but I prefer pepsi. Its so yummmy
Rye in your coffee with sugar and cream is yummy too darn wish I had a little here at work lol.Ok well sorry if I missed someone but I am at work so I guess I should do some
.love to you all
Kymn
ps Good luck today Margaret and damn is it ever snowing here

Kymn, Yes I thoughtyou were here to stay, and glad of it! You are a wonderful addition to our bar crowd! OK, what did I accidentally hit to get this huge type? If I WANTED to get a larger type here, I wouldn't know how to do it! LOL.
Sorry (oops now it is small again...LOL) for all the supposed "best friends" that turned out to be not so nice after all. I have the same thing with a sibling, and it drives me absolutely insane. Best to just stick with the ones that love you, are honest, and will stand by you when needed. Speaking of that, Stanzie, I do so think you deserve better, but that is IMHO. Good he gave you roses, but too bad that dinner date was not amazing. Maybe keep him around till someone better comes around? With all the movies that have been filmed nearby, who knows who you will meet! Just get out there girlfriend, and hopefully soon the right guy will come along. I would hope you would meet someone with your classical ties....maybe someday!
Can't chat anymore....gotta get to work, this is too easy to just stay on the puter all day! Have a good day girlzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

Is one of the BUD-WEIS-ER ladies the Kool Aid guy's mother?... just wondering
Junie - there is always plenty of cheez to go with whine... we have cheez balls, aerosol cheez, cheez wiz... none of which can be cut... what's your pleasure? Ya know, there is no reason you can't celebrate your anniversary later in the year - my daughter was born in January and since the weather always sucks she sometimes asks to celebrate on her "half birthday" which is in July and happens to be my real birthday. And when you do celebrate, I'm sure your DH is going to make it extra-super special!
Stanzie - oooo, I like the bracelet idea too! I wear them a lot. In fact, MIL gave me a long string of fresh water pearls that I twist around my wrist many times and call it a bracelet.
More on the coffee... yes, Claire, life is too short to go without fabulous coffee! This morning DH brought me coffee in bed because I mentioned that the coffee he leaves for me is cold when I get up and suggested that I just make my own. He uses the press pot but I measure the temp of the water coming out of our tea kettle and it is about 160 degrees which is not hot enough. There are a couple of kettles that have different temp settings (actually teas are best brewed at different temps too) - one setting is 212 which is good for black tea and coffee. So I started researching these kettles and read about BPA's. Since all coffee makers seem to be made of plastic, I thought maybe I'm on the right track with the French press but not if I'm using a kettle that has plastic gauges and pour spout. For myself, I'd be perfectly happy pulling a shot of espresso for an Americano but DH wants to make me coffee. I must have told him he was good at it at once... be careful what you ask for! Yes, I realize I am over-thinking this. I just wish they'd figure out where this horrid disease is coming from and take all the crap out of our environment so I don't have to worry about my family...
Beanie - glad you got some good news and glad that is over cuz you been so nervous you eat all the cheez balls. I'd have them ooph me in a heart beat if we weren't so concerned about osteo and I'm still in my 40's. Went for a bone density scan yesterday so we'll see how things are in that dept. My onco thinks oops is overly aggressive for my case and since I'm technically not related to the SIL we lost to ovarian he doesn't understand the connection. When I see a new doc, I try to get the paperwork beforehand so'z I can worry about it early. I start thinking about all the health issues I've had... I used to wonder if it really matters that I almost died when I was 10 because my appendix ruptured. When I was preg with DD2 I had unbearable pain in the 8th month and was taken to hospital... they thought my appendix ruptured since I hadn't noted that on my history for the OB. Turned out it was DD2 kicking me until I was bruised internally but we wasted a lot of time looking for my appendix.
Dorthy - I have a teen driver... every year is a bad year for us... and DD2 had her 15 ½ birthday yesterday and got her driving school completion certificate in the mail so she'll be getting her permit soon. Yikes! Was that you drinkin in the chapel? No judgement - I do some of my best prayin while drinkin. Careful, Beanie can see us lurkin.
Welcome home, Kathy. Sounds like you had a great trip. You guys deserve it!
Have a fabulous day everyone!
