    Did I get the year right? I think the epi-center was like 50 miles from there? Out in the desert. I don't recall now as I've been to SO many towns/airports over and over again but that bed swaying I DO remember!
    And, me still wild? Sometimes!

    Cheryl- Have you ever noticed that after a major heatwave and cool down, that earthquakes follow? It seems like a pattern.

    Yuck on the clumped capsules. Never heard of pitiful pearl, but she does sound pretty pitiful.

    Yes, the desert southeast of my town always getting hit. Near Palm Springs. They're due for a good one soon, although they just had a major fire. They need a break.

    Just googled Pitiful Pearl doll. She's ugly, poor thing. Kind of white trash looking. Does wear a scarf, but she does have lots of hair. Maybe Peggy can post a picture later. I really need to learn how to do that.

    I don't think there is any way to read when they will hit. It's like trying to pin point a burp. Although October is the month we all wonder. It can get hotter than heck here in the Fall. Earthquakes are just so random.

    Maybe she can replace the BC.org lady(with/without hat or shades??) above. We could change her scarf and clothes to match the season.

    I see where the Pitiful part comes from. Sorry, but that doll kinda creeps me out. It's like her mouth is on her neck or something...she doesn't have a chin, and that IS pathetic.

    Maybe she would have looked cute to me last night after polishing off my bottle of Pino Grigio...

    I had to look at her again, to see the cuteness. My initial reaction was much like yours, Donna. You just have to get to know her, if you know what I mean. It's in the eyes or something.

    P.S. No I'm not drinking. LOL

    Hi Shel...my daughter did the same thing with the black hair...I too could have killed her at the time but it grew on me and is really beautiful now (really long and silky...lucky her) and now she wants to get rid of it!! (I'll try to figure out how to post a pic of her) They told her that there really wasn't any way to get it out as black really clings to your hair and the only solution would be to cut it off and start over...I told her she could give herself a brush cut and look like mom but don't think she's too keen on that idea.
    Burning like crazy all of a sudden from rads...did #22 today with 8 to go...need a drink to ignore the burn.
    Have a great night all.

    I was never a Star Trek fan, but I wish I looked that good bald!

    I know Pearl's pitiful...bless her heart.

    Shel - my boss has a 12 year daughter that wants to get a red stripe in her hair....I feel for all you with teens. My cat doesn't care about dying her fur.

    Shel - I bet that apple didn't fall far from the tree, huh?? and what's up with the crack stuff. can't people take a joke. why does everyone have to take stuff so literally? geez!!

    So I had a little too much wine yesterday right before my 21 yr old came home for the night before leaving for the weekend w/ her first "real" b-friend. I gave her a lecture on the power of her womanhood. Don't know if she got it or not. Just can't stand a wimpy woman. Bet you can't wait 'til you have to deal with that stuff? Hair issues just aren't quite as important.

    aaaahhh lini so perceptive lol!

    that apple is still in the tree lololol!

    you're right about the hair.......it was the sneaky part that irked me after my emphatic "no".......little bugger, but i love her none the less........thank god she doesn't know i have a tattoo or that would be next........she already talked my mom into a navel piercing for her 14th birthday because "mom has one".........i secretely believe my mother is getting her jollies after all the things i did to her...........she took the girls to the salon today and paid..........then said "shes my only grandaughter and it is only hair.......remember when you came home with pink and purple hair?......paybacks are a bitch"

    my response "ok you got me there"

    Shel - It's totally about saying "no" that gets them to want it more. I took my daughter to get her naval pierced when she was 17, no sooner did she do it that she decided it was too trendy and everyone has it done so now she wants to be different. Then for graduation she decided to cut and blonde up her beautiful long auburn hair. All her friends were blonde or had blonde highlights. $150 bucks later she decides that she looks like everyone else and spent years trying to grow it back out to the original color, after dark brown, red stripes, and black hair attempts. I never said no to stuff like hair, piercings because that always meant that she'd try harder at getting it. On the tattoo thing, I let them talk to my bro and he exaggerated how expensive and painful it is. Changed both the son's and daughter's minds. I'm not in to tattoos (they give me anxiety, too permanent) so I was grateful.

    Now alcohol, for some reason, they haven't changed their minds on that one. Like I said the apple....

    Hey ladies, I’m breaking out the champagne…OK it’s really just a glass of sprite…But I can dream. As soon as I’m off a few more meds the champagne IS going to pop.

    But for today, I am celebrating being drain, grochon catheter and staple free! In another 7 hours my steri-strips will have been on long enough for me to take the first REAL shower since last Wednesday morning before surgery. I may stay in there all night!

    Here is a toast to looking less like the bride of Frankenstein meets the homemade still! Now I can hardly wait to get my new-and-improved fake boobs in a few weeks. These fiber filled puff things are not going to cut it!

    Good going, Deb. It's great to hear how well you're doing. Keep it up!! I've been wearing the fiber filled crap for almost 6 months. Still waiting to get my expanders. Ho-hum... No pity though. No more pity party today.

    Just wondering why everything stays in, on, or takes so long for me?? Drains in left 2 weeks, right 3 weeks. Drained for another 4 weeks. Steri-strips didn't come off for 5 weeks, finally pulled them off. Couldn't shower for 3, plus one day. Still waiting for recons. to begin.. I could go on, BUT no more pity party today...
