    NM I lmao about the seniors orgy I say lock the door and let em go at it lol. Maybe they were afraid a couple of them would have heart attacks with all the excitment.

    Dorothy I am happy to say my Canucks pulled it off and won the game 3 to 1 GO Canucks....

    Chrissy I too have awhile to wait till I can start planting a garden it is kind of snowing/raining basically slushing out there right now I should fill a glass up with theh stuff and add some booze natures homemade margarities thats got to be healthy right?

     OMG, the darn post deleter just caught me again...sheeet! I think it disappears when I am reaching for the shift key on this teeny netbook, but when I try to recreate it, none of the keys I hit makes anything disappear. Aarrrghhhhhh....OK that is the ONLY April Fools joke my netbook better play on me! I mean, I can unplug it and put it in a box...Ha, so there!

    Anyway, was mentioning all the neat pics you posted today NM! I love the dog one, as our collie Laddie, I had as a kid, would sit with a dog biscuit on his nose for however long we wanted him to. He also would "woof" in a loud sound, and go gradually down to a whisper, depending on how loud/soft we said it. He was such a smart, fun dog, but that was before leash laws, and we always suspected he fathered a lot of pups in the neighborhood! I LOVE the floating bar, darn how lazy can we get? Well, I would love to feel lazy, so will definately take advantage of that bar! And those seniors getting "frisky"...so funny...but I do hear that happens a lot, with "visiting" going on betwn residents at night...maybe not with a group though....LOL. Oh and your mom saying booze causes babies....that is a good one!!!

    Lori, I hope you pass your blood work with an A+, low cholesterol for sure!!! Good luck! I like that Black Eyed Peas song...esp good for our partay tonight at Junies! Have you never had sake? That is like a Japanese wine....sometimes purty strong. Usually served in small cups.

    Dorothy, Puleez listen to NM and DO NOT pull out your drains, till the time is right. Could cause even more problems. Didn't know you didn't realize the JP reference...I think I had written that to you once too. Like how you were getting intimate with JP again! Good for "google"!

    Chrissy, Nice you got to work in your garden! I am so glad I got the "go-ahead" to do anything I think will be ok...my PS does not know how I will take that and run with it! Can't wait to get all these plants/flowers in the ground! Have you heard of the "sweet potato vine"? It is a light green and grows low (prob no more than 6-8" or so), so makes a good ground cover here as it tolerates heat....wish it wasn't just an annual though, but I did buy several of them.

    I had all these plans to start gardening, but mother nature had other ideas. I cannot believe we are getting up to 10" of SNOW today! Heck, where is spring? This is Alabama, not supposed to have snow this late, or that much of it!!!!! Better put those chains on the tires of the bus before coming this way to pick me up!!!!

    ChEARS,

    Kathy

    Oops just saw your post Kymn! Of course I will share with you! Dang, I can't get away with anything can I? And I thought I was hiding those bottles so well. But we know the trailer is full of likker too, so when we run out of it on the bus, the TTs and Wenches can refill everything. Glad your team won!!

    Sorry Dorothy about the lack of cuisine here.  Promise to make it up.  However, that depends on how well Pants tickles my fancy when I get that spanking.  I thought all that moaning was from his skills mixing drinks.

    No snow here, but still dismal out.

    The orgy story reminds me of my great Aunt Gladys.  After her husband died, there came a time when she could no longer do for herself.  So she went to a small nursing home with her dog.  I think she was in her early 90s then.  Anyway, she and one of the old guys there were smitten and became an embarrassment to their families.  So they were separated.  She didn't live long after that.  I always thought it so sad.

    Chrissy......glad you had roses all summer long.  Hoping you are in dreamland by now.

    Loved all the fox pictures.  Sometimes I see them cycling.  I used to see coyotes regularly when I lived north of NYC.  One time, there was one just the other side of our kitchen window.  Not a friendly looking critter at all.  Could not have been more than 4' from me.

    NM.....sorry your peer interview got rescheduled, but you can wait a few days.  Will be nice when your next gig is wrapped up.

    Glad you are feeling better Dorothy.

    Kathy.....nice to know that Laddie lives on.  My parents had a very funny story of a neighbor's bitch who was locked in a shed because she was in heat.  The male dogs in the neighborhood broke down the shed door in order to get to her.  The puppies looked half-collie though, and my parents had the only male collie. Hmmmm......

    I need to get to work.  Think I could use a strong latte this morning without anything added.  Will save that for later in the day.  But count me on the bus later. - Claire

    NM - Did Pretty's plants ever produce anything?

    sorry I have Spring fever

    Your momma was right... BOOZ = SEX = BABY. Told my DDs the same, only it was more like... "you need to keep your wits about you!"  Kinda nice to be at the point in life when BOOZ = BOOZ   SEX=SEX   and BABY=a sweet little bundle you can give back to its mother.  

    Claire  - I'll sexond that! (oops, Freduian slip)... I mean I'm ready for the infernal rain to end!

    Chrissy  - you're up bright and early after a night out! Glad you had a good time.

    Got home after midnight last night (long appointment with client and an hour's drive over through the mountains) and now I have to go back to the same area this morning. Never did make it to Nordstrom... client canceled today so I have a 2 hour+ hole in my schedule... if I don't fall asleep in my car I'll be shopping.... do we need anthing for the PAR-TAY?

     ... I've never been much of a shopper but then I discovered SHOES! And they never make my butt look big.

    Have a nice day everyone!

    Hi Ladies,

    Oops, too late on the drain, it is out. It had stopped draining by Wednesday. My ps office called and cancelled my appointment for monday and moved it til tuesday. So I got my little cuticle clippers, went to the work medicine cabinet and got some sterile wipes and bandages, then went down to the 2nd floor where no one knows me and took it out. I did panic at a point when I tugged and it was not moving and it hurt like hell. But it is out, sanitized and looking good. Once I get home, I will clean it up again and put gauze on it. I could not help it, it was really stinging and feels a world better now. and I need not worry about my doc hollering at me as I am seeing another ps on Tuesday. He may not even realize that my doc did not take it out but it was well worth it. I think I did a good job keeping everything very sterile.

    I am leaving for the day now and will nap once I get home. I will catch up with you lovely ladies later.

    Peace girls!!!

    Wow, so much going on. Today I'm writing an essay on why I need a drink on April Fools Day. It starts with what must be some kinda sympathy sheeeeet for our DorK. She's concave and I grew a superboob in tha last few daze. Yup, my 3 mo post rad boobie got all swollen and hot. Proly too much yogging and yumping yacks and rolling in mud.

    I'm on the bus to Nebraska for another fun chemo par-teeeee for Husker, yahoo! Then I hafta be back here to make a parteee for my dear, sweet, wonderful DH's BD! Then to Junie's - PARTEEEE TIME!!! BTW Junie, glad it was just tears of laughter running down yer legs, ha ha ha!

    Goldie - hoping for all great news on your bloodwork!!! And thank for sending unused tissues, tho the used ones would be fine too. (j/k) ha ha ha!

    Kymn - my DH says the same thing, he doesn't understand me either...I say if you just take about 10 extra goofy pills it will all come clear.

    NM - love love love your post today, so many funnies and I love the fox pic. Dang mud, I hafta clean my floor every day lately!

    Dotty - glad you got the dang drain out, what a story! I love the part where you went to the 2nd floor where no one know you!

    Chrissy - glad to see ya and thanks for the well wishes! You hangin at the pool today? I will see you there!

    Wahine - so much snow! It must be nature's April Fool's joke on all of us to have winter in spring. Thanks for letting us know about HD and I hope she feels better soon, or she can come feel sheeeeeety with me anytime!!!

    AStorm - shoes. My DH says my pants look frumpy. I say my shoes do too.

    Claire - that is a sad story about your Aunt Gladys, what a bummer to treat them like that.

    HD - I miss you and think about you every day, get well soon and stop by for a dwinky and a floatie. I was hoping you could post the Salmonellos to help get Kymn and Husker thru chemo. It sure helped me! BTW you got any Honey Nut Salmonellos?

    Yeah!!! we have some hot-cha-cha DOTD drinks, lot's of hot chicks (and at least one hot boob) singin Black Eyed Peas and some fab parties for the day. Sorry if I missed anyone, thinking of all the HTL galz and wishing you all Happy April 1!!!

    ROFLMAO withyour post, Beans! Good thing no one is around to hear me! Gawd I hope you heal up, that just doesn't sound good to me, but I never had rads. Puleez check it out w/ dr or nursie! Love the idea of the April Fools essay....we can post it on the bus so we can all adhere to it! I mean but really, you don't need to twist my arm for a dwink though. Well, I sometimes do really kewl April Fools jokes, but didn't want to scare anyone. SO my only itty bitty joke was about us having snow. Thought that would be pretty innocent. Actually it is prob in the 60's now and will be almost 80 over the weekend! You were the only one who mentioned that, Beans. So you get the prize....ALL the likker you can dwink on our bus. How does that sound??? Hope your DH will have a really GR8 birthday!!! I know you will make it extra-special fun for him! Give him our best!

    Yeah, HD, Hope you are among the living again....looks like we nabbed you and got you on the bus at least. Took care of Husker....now on to Junie's to partay! Junie, is the coast clear????

    During the BIG PARTAY I will have to sneak off for a bit....going to try again to get to the wine tasting tonight, w/ nibbles and take home the wine glasses.....then prolly have dinner at our fav Thai restaurant. Will come home and settle DH in front of the tv (all those boring financial programs that Dorothy's DH likes to watch too), and then will sneak outta here and come back to you girlz and our fab PARTY!!!! I took a peek at what Pants and Jocks were fixing up and it will be a BIG surprise tonight! Come one, come all, we will have a ball!

    DILLIGAF?

    I just had the most wonderful thing happen.  Just called the lady who broke her hip and was amazed at how well she sounded.

    Yes, she is still in the hospital, but she is going to recover.  She sounded absolutely herself, just a bit tired.

    Still in tears as was fearing the worst.  But she is on the mend.  I am speechless.

    And can we all toast to a complete recovery for Irene??? - Claire

    Sure thing - Big Toast to Irene!!! May she be home soon!!

    So Happy April's Fools Day!!! This morning, I got up and went to my son's shower and put plastic wrap on all his Shampoo bottles then he was so sleepy he kept fogetting things so I kept running into him but finally when he was in the shower snuck in and grabbed the towels. 

     He comes down and pretends nothing has happened. Finally as we are waiting to leave he tries a lame attempt at " hey mom, it is 8:40 when it was 8:33" Nah, that doesn't do it, but now I know he has gottn my surprises. So as I drop them off his teacher is standing there and I ask if he has any pranks planned and his face lights up and she rubs his hands together gleaming - Oh boy I've been planning all week so I tell him about the shower and he is so hilarious - this big teddy bear of a man with earrings jumps up and down with glee thinking about my son in the shower . He happens to adore my son so that was fun. 

    Not realizing he had play practice, yup has to be at every rehearsal for his 1 little line.... grrr. Anyway, when its time for the kids to come home I'm hiding and ready. I have put out a dollar and am ready with material to rip as they bend over..... Well my daughter is so intent on wondering where I am she steps over the dollar 4 times and finally goes around back and sees me hiding... Well rats! So will still try and get my son... 

    Kathy - it didn't occur to me you had snow but as you are the traveling Queen aside from Jaybird, Goldie, Astorm, Beanie.... well you know what I mean I was going to ask where you were trying to go. Does that mean I was gotten too? 

    So we are off to see Music Man that my friend directed and her daughter stars in - Forgot about Friday Spring Break Traffic!!! The one year I took them out of town it took me an extra 3 hours just to get out of Atlanta and yes I have to go by expressway..... ACK!!! 

    Otherwise a Glorious April Fool's Day to All!!!!! Did you all see the one in the British paper about a fancy car you could order with the British colors and on the back has Will for William. They got flooded with calls for the joke! LOL!!! Too funny.... Hey our paper didn't do anything amusing at all. 

    Off to live in traffic!!!

    Hi girlzzzzzz!

    Stanzie, Cute April Fools jokes you did...funny about plastic wrap around the shampoo! Hope your son enjoys his 1 line in the play....and REALLY KILLS that line! I know he will do well.

    Well,we did the wine tasting which was fun..you pay for it, but they had 2 tables with lots and lots of wine to sample. The pupus weren't much....bleu cheese (which I detest) and crackers. SO DH tells one of the girls working there, that the cheese had mold on it. She gets worried and starts running back to the room with the cheese platter...then she finally hears him say "April Fools"! But really, it DOES have mold....LOL. Had lots and lots of wine, then to dinner at our Thai place. Yummmmm!

    Having fun at Junies PARTAY!!!! Hope we don't make tooooo much of a mess. Good pics Junie...love the one of you with the Bloody Mary! OKAY, lets make a toast to Irene's complete recovery! Here's to Irene *lifting glass*! After all, this is a drinking thread, and thats what we do best!! Met a gal at the wine tasting that is starting to learn about textiles, so she loved my blouse....then found out she has a spinning wheel, which is at the hospital in her NINETY-FIVE yr old dad's room! Wow...think he is doing ok too. And I was chatting with a young guy who my DH said looked like me and could have been my son! LOL....at least being women we KNOW which offspring we have.

    Well, Junie, I see the ML truck parked outside.....as well as the catering truck, and all the wine being brought in, and likker....wow! I think Pants is jumping out of that HUGE cake, in honor of Beans' DH's birthday! What a fun party! HD hope you are getting better, but you haven't moved off of the lounge chair, so I am getting worried about you.

    Everyone else...PARTAY HEARTY!!!!!

    Okole Maluna,

    Loving all this. Thanks so much everyone for toasting Irene's health. I am doing this with good cab.



    Dorothy....it's safe to come here and eat as I succumbed to the prime rib eye steak on sale. Local ranch and think will be delish. Roasting parsnips and carrots, and will make some creamed spinach to have with. So the full steakhouse deal.



    I can't wait for April Fool's to pass as don't know what was server and what is my own computer problems. BLECH!!!! Someone who should be drawn and quartered planned a massive server attack for this week.



    Plus really nasty out and skiing place was closed today. I have to get out and exercise tomorrow even if I am a drowned rat afterwards.



    I of course inadvertently sent out a mass email and got a response from numbskull husband of old college friend I was hoping to avoid for the next several months.......ARGH!!!!!!



    Hoping you ladies didn't notice all those bottles of the Widow I polished off earlier. I think Pants took them away after giving me a VERY SPECIAL rubdown. - Claire

    Dorothy - GAWWDDD! Without taking a couple of shots!? Jeez, I get buzzed every time the docs/ nurses take out my drains but I never thought about taking them out myself... do you wax too? YOWZA! ...yeah that does look a little bit like me - I got a hat just like that but my foobs is bigger.

    Beanie  - no fump... gotta get new shoes for the new pants! I'm reading "How Not To Look Old" - there are two acronyms: "Y&H" (young & hip) and "OL"... I find myself described under the OL heading. I haven't gotten to the clothing chapter yet, but I suspect that the two-sizes-too-big pleated trousers I had on today are in there...

    Claire  - ahh, the Cyber Age. I keep bumping into people online that I don't want to communicate with... the world has gotten so small... I'm comin to your house for dinner cuz I'm too tired to cook and DH picked up greasy taqueria food - blec! Mmm, maybe just another glass of the Widow for me (I hid a bottle from you but I'll share).

    It was 88 DEGRESS here today! Sat at the park for several hours and studied, walked, studied, walked...  

    Woke up to Pants rubbing my feet... and then realized it was WD licking me...

    laffin, laffin, laffin--don't worry I gots more lampshades--been saving them for the PAR-TAY!!!!   The deck cooled off after the sun went down so I tried to light the deck heater--about blew us all up--I'm not real good with propane tanks........   Uh-oh, someone has fallen asleep in one of the rocking chairs (passed out?).   Can't tell who it is under that lamp shade.....let me run in the house and grab a blanket to wrap around her....there, now she won't freeze tonight.   And, you galz sitting down on the patio----shhhhhh--your laughter is echoing through the hills........

    [a true story--when we first moved here we had company almost constantly......I had a neighbor who I hadn't met call and ask if we were operating a Bed and Breakfast.......that's where the "my B&B" came from....and one of my friends gave me a cute little cross-stich pic that says "Bed and Breakfast".   It hangs next to the guest bedroom door and I laugh every time I look at it!]

    heading back to the bar for some more dog beers!   If a jealous neighbor calls the cops cause we're being so loud--no problem--we'll just poof right back to the HTL!!!!!

    DH will never understand how I had a party and a GREAT time while he was gone!!!!.....still laffin..........BOTTOMS UP!   and TIT/TITZ/no TITZ....and, How bout Tit-and-a-half up.........................

    Good morning, Beanie! Planning anything special for DH's B-day Partay? I bet you will create a great time for him!. Please keep an eye on the radiated boobie, the swelling and heat can mean infection and that boob is more prone to infection from the radiation damage to healthy tissue. If it doesn't go away in a day or two call one of your docs.


    Wahine-Wine tasting with take home glasses? Sounds like wonderful fun! I wonder if anyone here in Maine does that kind of thing. I'll have to check it out. Good job with the April Fool's joke. I got sucked right in. Of course, it was snowing like crazy here all day. Got over a foot of very wet, heavy snow. Power went out for a while yesterday pm. Fortunately the temp never went below 34 all day.

    Claire-BIG TOAST FOR IRENE! Good for her, and here's to a very speedy recovery!

    Stanzie-don't go play in traffic, go out and DIRECT the traffic! Love the British joke. Didn't even think to look in the local paper for a joke, they usually do something.

    Junie-I AM JEALOUS! Such a beautiful view from your deck. And temps in the 70's? Sigh. And breakfast, served resort style. How wonderful!

    Karen-is there a specific phrase used to wish you a good Shabbat? I've long been fascinated by the different rites and rituals of different religions. Thanks for sharing yours!

    DorK-You paint a great word pic of the PARTAY! I couldn't do better, but then I was seriously likkered up. I hope no one took pictures!

    Good morning, Oh wow, it is cold out here on Junie's deck, did I sleep here all night?  WHATTA PARTAY!!  Thanks Kathy for the idea of making lampshade hats, I laffed so hard. Me glad me brought extra panties and pants cuz I peed laffing more den once - i know i know TMI!!

    Claire, dag, I missed my poyfect meal, do you have left overs for tonight? And sorry, I fogot to say that your friend is in my thoughts and prayers. Sending healing thoughts to Irene.

    Crappo, my internet went out last night. I am hacking into a neighbors unprotected router and I know who it is (the router name is their kids name, did not take a brain soygen to figure dat out). I am po'd, I went into my verizon account to find a telephone number to call and can't find it. What I did find is that my service went from 155.00 to 205.00 per month, someone added Stars and Showtime which I never ordered and certainly DH did not. I hate the corp world, greedy sobs. They also raised the price of my seven cable boxes a buck each, to $7.00. A buck won't kill me but sheeze, I left Comcast due to greed and now I may have to crawl back. Me thinks me has another year on the verizon contract. Does anyone know what happens if one breaks it? 

    I say we get on the bus and head to Cal with Astorm. 88 degrees is soooo appealing. It is freakin 36 here and cold. At least the sun is shining but I WANT SPRING!! Or Summer. ANything but cold. Dear Junie, I know you twied to keep up warm, sorry about de explosion, good to see the crew bixed your deck and it is brand new. 

    Was that really a pic from your yard, Junie? It was so beautiful. And is the partay over or going all weekend? wE can have Astorm bwing the Cal. sun with her right? After all, we can do anything in our magic world. 

    And yes, I took me own drain out. And yes, I was on percocet at the time, shhhh, don't tell my employer that I was flying high on the job. I really did get scared at the point where the drain seemed to be stuck and let out a big old OUCH. Fortunately, our 2nd floor is the I.T. people and most are Indian and speak no English. I purposely took of my photo ID in case someone saw me. But it was an ideal OR environment, great lighting. I can say one tang, that drain was two feet long inside me, no sheet!!  Me knows I should not have done it but my primary care doc seemed to agree that it is easy to remove and once I found that my doc would not be in, I was on the run. I do feel fab without that fn thing. Let's hope I have no issues. I changed the dressing last night and it was dry so I think I will be okay. 

    Oh, sorry I am rambling. It is jest me n my dogs, DH working. I have hair appt at 9:30am, got a call that my hair girl had a cancelation. I am glad cuz I did not want to go after work on Tuesday since I will be late arriving and should really work to make up the lost time although I have been just leaving at 5pm anyway. Me has to watch my time as I only have two days left since I used six in the past two weeks. Come June, my time off increases to 19 vacation days added to the current 6 sick days and four floating holidays.  OOPS, THINK ME LOST ME CONNECTION....??

    Well, wasn't doing my usual typing in word, so have to go by memory.......HA!

    Glad to hear your friend is on the mend Claire. Beans Happy B-day to your DH. Kathy, I fell for you snow joke, but haven't been here to say anything until you confessed. But it still doesn't beat the time you told us you won big in Tunica. Oh, and funny how you are going to punish your net book! I think you are right on the with the shift button, but I think it might be that button and another one, simotaniously. Have I ever had Sake? I thought it was Sushi, so what do you think? Stanzie, you do such neat fun things with you kids. Said it before, will say again.....you are such a special mom. (not to say the rest of you with children are not). DorK, you and Kathy did a fine job describing out party! And that pic at Junies, the "Pink Fog" IS at her house. I'm pretty sure, as I also think she has posted it before. Happy Shabat Karen.

    Well, I am having too much fun to go home yet, and that breakfast was so YUMMY. So me thinks Junie's DH isn't due back until tomorrow and I KNOW Junie won't mind. Especially since we are there to babysit. Sure glad I didn't have babysitters like this for my children! Junie, does your friend that made the B&B sign, have any idea what it has done and fun it has created?

    Grabbing me an After the Par Tay drink and heading out into those beautiful hills for a little morning walk. Pancho can come with me Junie, but I think he is boarded?

    Ohhhh still having fun at Junies! But OMG I had soooo much to dwink last night, that altough I like your dwink for da day NM, can I puleez ask Pants to make mine a "virgin"? I know he will LAFF hard at that, but not sure I can handle any more likker right now! Ha, ha, glad I got a few of you with my itty bitty April Fools joke about the snow! I didn't take long enough to think of something really good, like Stanzie did with her kids!

    NM, The wine tasting was fun. Got it from a groupon.com deal for $20 (for 2)....regularly $40, with the glasses. BUT found out the regular tastings are just $10 ea, without glasses to take home, so will do that again. They had about 12 wines to taste...2 tables....do this on Wed and Fri. And they said a lot of regulars come, then go out to dinner. Much cheaper and more fun than just getting a drink or two at dinner. I have SO many groupon.com and livingsocial.com deals I have bought that we need to do. Have you checked them out? Not only can you get deals for your area, but any area you might travel to. Deals change every 1-2 days. Some deals are just for a few months, others exp in a yr or so. Not meaing to be so OT here, but thought the others might like these deals too, otherwise I would have sent you a PM about this. Anything to save $$$!

    Junie, is DH going to be gone tonight too? I tink we all wanna keep partaying if its ok wid you! Love your description of all that went on....but how did you know so much...weren't you dwunk too???? LOL. Love the view from your deck this morning...and glad  everyone had the eggs benedict, but you remembered I don't like them. Awwww....you make us all feel speshul!

    Ok....hit a wrong key again....but at least the entire post didn't disappear, just made the above soooo huge! Sawwry.

    Today is my 3 yr cancerversary! I am so thankful it was found 3 yrs ago and today was the day I got "that" phone call. So I decide to celebrate being a 3 yr survivor of this horrid disease! Beans, did you call your nursie? Hope your boobie is okay....NM had some good info on that, so it is wise to err on the side of caution, and make sure it is okay.

    Hic....ooops....did I trip on someone? Or is it another darn lampshade on the floor???? LOL. Enjoying the continued partay at Junie's house!

    Cheers! Lampshades!
