yes yes, a good thing indeed. I knew it couldn't happen, my drunk arse just knew.
So here is my tongue twister, try speaking this fast three times:
"one smart woman she felt smart
two smart women, they both felt smart
three smart women, they all felt smart"
I hope you do what I did cuz all you dwunken chickies (Astorm) will be laffing your arses off!!

Oh My Dorothy you are on quite a roll!!!! Well Kathy too! You both Do know Pants is writing a book don't you?? hmmm me thinks I know two characters already....
OK here is a NOT funny Joke:
How do you know it is too late to listen to your tired ol' body that said you should have stopped long ago?
It is too late when you step and fall half way through the attic fan! Yowl!!!!
So stupid! Now will have to find someone to fix the crazy thing that I have only used when we lost power in the summer.... I'm thinking I'll be waking to the sorest body I've had in some time with one strange bruise as I fell on the very thin narrow metel that surrounds the crazy thing..... whimper, whimper....
So asked SO if we can take a break for a while... got a long email from him - so confused. It isn't going to be easy to take some time... not sure why that is so threatening especially as I spent he day in the filthy attic ??? Don't get it needless to say.....
Kymn - Wow, Playboy - I am impressed! We knew you were pretty but wow! I think that is pretty great and actually I would think your son would be proud to know you were asked.
NM - Whew!!! I know coming to the decision was hard but you DO sound relieved and no way should you take abuse? Now why on earth would people do that to you? I mean what do they get out of it ? Are they just like little kids feeling the need to exert power and bullying cause they are so insecure. When do people actually grow up? That always just astounds me. I'm sorry but gosh you so need to be where you are appreciated! I'm happy for you, Monday won't be much fun but will be interesting to see how they take it.
Claire - good luck with your computer and I'm sure your decision about wine was totally correct!!
OK, guys I'm going to take many asprin and a sleeping pill and hope I can get out of bed in the am...... ouch...

Stanzie..... You need a different approach with SO. Tell him you need his help. This consists of:
- Chocolate
- Champagne
- Kissing all the "boo boos" better
Throw in dinner to get up your strength. Bath too. You will be feeling tons better fast. So will he.
Actually, sorry about the mess with attic fan. YIKES. However, you will live and be fine.
But I would play the "poor banged up me" card.
Get someone who knows what they are doing to fix the fan.
You focus on fixing YOU. Good luck, and feel tons better. - Claire

...passing through quickly on my way to the casino and then, the pool, and a gently swaying hammock....and lots of DOG BEERS!!!!
Jeeze, TGIF is almost over, so will wish that everyone has a Serendiptious Saturday!!!!
Can't possibly address everyone who's posted--can only hit what has stuck in my warped little mind......
Wahine, and HD--glad that HD will have to get up and go to work on Monday-----but MORE glad that a few of us fed retirees will get our next monthly ret check!!! I've listened most of the day to the newscasts about the potential shutdown and I finally did just turn the tv off--mostly a total load of crap!!
You chemo gals----hang in there!! It does get better and it does get over!!! We're holding your hands and can have that bus there in a heartbeat!!!
Now, all this talk about lamb has me curious!!!! I have only had lamb once in my life--and, can't remember if I liked it or not......I'll try to make one of my long stories short.... HAH!
DH and I are in a little walk-in cafe in a French town of Besancon (don't know how to put the proper marks on the word----pronounced Bay-zun-sone) and the cafe was owned/operated by a Turk.........and DH orders these kabobs for us.....they were delicious--but I didn'tknow I was eating lamb until much later......DH (in his previous life before me was stationed in Turkey for several years with the Air Force. He learned some basic Turkish phrases.....) and, he and the owner/cook of this little hole in the wall got to jabbering and laughing....DH assured me that he was speaking Turkish at a 3-yr-old level....but I do remember the drinks flowing freely. Bottom line--I need to look at some lamb recipes and put my creative thinking cap on!!!!
NM--big hugggssss to you! You made a decision and acted and I doubt that you will have any regrets down the road! You are such a vibrant, strong person--you'll fit quite nicely into your next niche in life!
sorry, all--my fingers are numb and my brain is dead.....time for my dog beers and the hammock by the pool.......see y'all tomorrow!!! bottoms and tidds UP!!!

OUCH Stanzie! Thank God it wasn't worse!!! Sounds very painful, and hope you can sleep tonight. Will prolly be hard to roll out of bed in the morning....and I hate to imagine all the bruises. You sound like me....when I am doing things so fast I don't quit when I should, and that is when accidents happen. Hoping you can pamper yourself and take the day off tomorrow!
Junie....How nice to run into you in the casino! AND I notice that "Hunk" has come in to be the dealer tonight. I do hope you try lamb again! I like it crusty on the outside and rare (or med rare) inside...good with garlic or mint jelly. Yummmmm!n Yes, nice to know the retirement checks will keep on coming!
Nite nite girls.....going beddy-bye soon......

awww, Stanzie, hugs to ya. so sorry to hear this. do take Claire's advise, it was spot on.
Junie, nice to see you. I saw you flirting w/ Hunk at the casino. and I saw Kathy too. We are gonna add a chapter about you and your shenanigans. Remember last week, the lampshade partay? I've kept my mouth shut about uh, well you know.....
Hugs to all of you great gals! Sending rounds of sweet dreams to all! Hugz and tidz up, yo!

Wahine-Thank you! All it took was a call to my friend asking if my being able to start earlier would be something they would be interested in as they consider my application. Her response: "You haven't gotten a formal offer yet? Let me make a phone call." 20 minutes later she's calling me back with a formal offer of $27 and change an hour. Monday I go in and give them my letter that I've accepted another position that starts the 25th, good bye and no thanks for the memories. Had a great time taking all the work schedule stuff off my PDA and computer calendar. I feel so much better now it's unbelievable! And I love the Ode to English Plurals! So funny!
DorK-I do have sick time, over 500 hours, odd since I'm on salary. Hmm. I may have enough sick time to cover the rest of the contract. Gonna have to look at that, thanks for reminding me. And the institution pretty much can only say if they'd hire me back or not, and when I tell potential employers I left early because I was being treated in an unprofessional and unacceptable manor and felt I couldn't ensure patient safety I don't think it's going to be a huge issue. Besides, I'm 52. How many more years am I going to work anyway? And I love to crochet, too! I am going to have to work up some of my own to "play" with! In the meantime the one you gave me looks like a porcupine from all the pins I've stuck in it! Thanks you very much, I feel so much better and actually am looking forward to going to work Monday to see the effects! Giggle giggle OH, my what confusion all those calls would make! The director is female, the principle students are one of each. My leaving early is going to have terrific consequences all of them and I DO NOT FEEL GUILTY. The poor babies probably never had to deal with a consequence of their own actions that was negative without someone bailing them out before, going to be an eye opener for some of them. And it looks like you're not the only one going off on a rant today, DorK!
Hunky! Good to see you, girl!
Hope the tenders have restocked the Fukitol dispenser, I took the whole supply yesterday. . .
Would you believe I've never had "special" brownies? I'd really like to try some. Can't smoke due to the asthma, too afraid of Charlie. Oh, WTH I'll stick with likker!
Claire-you're not late to the partay, you're bringing the next wave of energy and fun to the partay! And guess what I saw beside the house yesterday? CROCUSES!!! I have crocuses up! Yeah, there IS hope for spring!
Stanzie-sounds to me like you deserve a medal for being wounded in action! Strange bruises are good for supporting very imaginative war stories. Don't miss this opportunity! The SO is not happy about not being the center of attention in your relationship 100% of the time? Sucks to be him. Maybe this is the consequence that will open his eyes to the fact that a relationship is a 2-way thing, not all about what he wants. Do I sound like I have no sympathy for the jerk? Well, I don't'! Some of the students do think they already know everything and should be running the show, and the university is moving in that direction-it's calls student consumerism. There's certainly no reason for these people to grow up while they are in college, not sure what's going to happen when they hit the workplace and discover the schedule won't be set around them AND they will be expected to finish things on time. God help all patients in a few years. I am really happy to be going back to home care. It's hard work but most of the time the people I'm taking care of are pleasant and appreciative. Sometimes we get someone who isn't happy, but that's the exception. This is something I do well, and I can't wait to get back to it.
JUNIE!!!!! So it's you winning all the money and whooping it up in the casino! We'll have to ask Pants and Jock to do a crown rack of lamb for the Sunday buffet so you can get a taste. I prefer a roast, but many like lamp chops. Mild taste, usually very tender, also makes good stew with fiddleheads and new potatoes.
DOTD: The I Don't Feel Guilty At All
1 1/2 oz Coconut Rum
4 oz Orange Juice
1 oz Grenadine SyrupDirections
Pour the Malibu rum and orange juice into a cocktail shaker half-filled with ice cubes. Shake well. Pour the contents into a highball glass, and top with grenadine. Garnish with 2 crushed maraschino cherries, and serve.

NM, so good to see you happy. You made a great and bold decision and I just know you will do great. And how did I guess that you had heaps of sick time? I am so happy for you.Your post and related pics are fantabulous as usual. I love the crocus's, are they yours? They are just beautiful.
It is going to be a lovely day here after a rainy, cloudy and cold week. The sun is shining for the first time in days. It is going to hit 80 on Monday and the swimming pool is ready. I will be in there soon too, I am healing up beautifully. I just pulled the tape off the incision and it is nearly all healed. Something about those expanders and implants that my body does not like.
I have to schedule an appointment with a hand doctor. My primary doc said I have an injury to my ulnar nerve which goes from the shoulder to the hand and is the same nerve as in the funny bone in the elbow. damn, I was really fit and healthy before bc hit me. I am also dealing with the bursitis in my left hip, I feel like a decrepit old woman at just 50! I ought stop whining though, things could be so much worse.
Stanzie, I hope you are not in too much pain today, you poor thing. I am glad you were not seriously injured and hope you rest up and feel better soon. Don't we have a bus trip next week to see Kristy? Hope she is alright, haven't heard from her.
Kymn, hope you are feeling better today too. My heart goes out to each of you suffering the effects of the damn rat bastard.
Beans, miss ya, come on in, coffee and vodka are here with your name on it......
I may go back and do some editing, was sure buzzed up last night. I promise to never hit a crack pipe again, it kept me up til 3:30am. I say we have Stanzie make us all special brownies once she is up to it. Cheers and happy Saturday!0 -
LOL Dorothy, DO NOT, under ANY circumstances, edit your posts from last night....they kept me really laffing all night! That was fun; like a real party. So glad you thought of the sick days that NM had accumulated...very GR8 idea! ANd also glad you can use your pool soon....yay for both the warm temps and your boobs healing!!! Hope your hand can be fixed, easily. Prob is, it not only is bc, but it is aging that causes us probs after age 50! After I turned 50 and would see some drs with problems, some would just say "it comes with age", and I would leave feeling defeated! Like great, but I really want it fixed, not just want it to be something I have to live with and expect, because of "age". Sure do not feel "old" until hearing something like that! Good luck with that!!!
NM, SOOOOOOO very glad, still, that you made that great decision. When you feel at peace and happy (like you do) then you know it was the right one. Nice hourly pay too! I am so glad you will be doing something you enjoy. AND screw those students that have been mean and demanding and expecting the world to revolve around them!!! What a big wakeup call they will have. Just hope none of us end up under their care. OH, and about those "brownies"....when a *friend* made some, and told me about it, *wink*, they were made tooooo strong, and they (people) couldn't even move....got frozen in place. Sooooo funnny now, but weird then, so I was told. Gave them the giggles big time too, so I was told. Glad DorK mentioned for Stanzie to make them, as maybe she will know the right amount to put in!!! J/K Stanzie! Loved your pics....the 2012 pic was kewl, and then I liked the Casino Cruise "jackpot" till I realized what the jackpot was.....LOL. And seeing "lambchop" and then the edible lamb chops......eeeeccccckkkkkkk! Was hard seeing so many, many pastures full of sheep in OZ and NZ and then ordering lamb at the restaurants. They are just soooooo cute!!!
A million-gazillion things on my plate today if I expect to leave in the morning. Hoping for enough time (and that my back holds out) to get a lot done. One of the areas I am doing so much work at on the house and deck, is because the ginger and cannas are coming up and get very tall there....then I can't paint, etc till fall and they die back. But it is looking GOOD! Even though I had to change the white areas to brown because of the dogs get it so dirty, it looks nice and fresh. SO much patching to do though and the bondo is so hard to work with....just a minute b4 it hardens so have to work fast and make lots of batches. BUT it hardens like a rock and is long-lasting. Hope someone can enjoy relaxing at the HTL pool for me today. Just tell me how much fun you had!!! LOL.
ChEARS, Chairs, Dog Beers, TableCloths, whatevah! DILLIGAF?

Dorothy....Aspercreme and I were tight long before BC. Just rubbed some into my right knee and made a ton of difference. I think I figured out why the rest of me feels stiff this morning
No, I am NOT giving that one up.
NM......bet you will be enjoying the extra $$$ too. Major, major difference. Would be wonderful if they owed you the rest of the monies on your contract. You will be much happier. I have a friend going through this right now. A bit harder to get to the right next spot, but she will get there.
The students will find out when they get their performance review. And then why they can't figure out why no one wants to work with them.
I may need something stronger than wine tonight when setting up my computer.
Off cycling in a bit. Meeting a friend to show him my favorite ride. Then he says there is a good bakery in town. I have to research this one before posting this ride myself, and then coming up shaky with something like pie. Speaking of which, I am overdue for marionberry with whipped cream.
Now there is something worth getting up for!!! - Claire

Food for thought for our recession......
"Sometimes when I reflect on all the beer I drink, I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. I think, "It is better to drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver." "

good morning ladies,still alive, feeling sorry for myself ,want to quit this and get ;my life back boo hooo for me. as you can see its a pity party in canada, I know I will snap out of it but today I just want a fukitol.

Good morning from Baby Face! Love the poem Kathy, I have heard some of it before. You really have to read it carefully and slowly to get the whole jest of it! Our friend from Taiwan is always asking me to explain things to her. Her English is very good too. She loves her Coach, Channel and Gucci as well, but I had to laugh at her. She had bought a Juicy Couture purse, but thought it read Juicy Culture! I had to explain.
NM, we all knew things would work out for you. Kymn, sorry the chemo hit you so fast. It must be because you are doing all 3 cocktails at the same time. Second verse same as the first........WATER and PROTEIN! Husker, you get yours Friday? Dorothy, you have me cracking me up. I know I can always start my day out with a laugh by coming here first. Dorothy you mentioned about wishing someone would poop his or her pants, which made me think of Astorms DD. Whatever happened with that Gail? Laughing at your comment about "eventually I'll just be an arse". Well keep plugging away at it, if nothing else, it's good for you! Stanzie, I think you need to stay AWAY from SO. He has caused you too much grief. I am so sorry about the fall, but glad it will only be bruises and soreness girl. Hugs Junie and HD.....so glad things will be ok for you both. NM, great news from you and awesome cartoons, I especially like the "I told you this would happen". I think you should share your Starbucks story as it so fits right in with everything you were having to deal with.
Kymn, I think you have some competition with Playboy!
I also see that I have bumped into several of you. But I have been busy the last couple of hours. Will read and ketchup later or in the morning!

Hi Loungettes, Just a quick note this morning...I got timed out on my Internet connection, used too much bandwidth for my subscription level - Hugesnet - so now bof DH & I had a buncha stupid work to catchup on....will hope to see ya at the bar tomorrow or Mon. Hope everyone is doing great!!! Luv n hugs, Beanie

Well Goldie - Dorothy!!!!! not even sure what to say!!!!
Yes I'm sore and had so much trouble sleeping - part in pain and part knowing SO just doesn't seem to understand what taking a break in a relationship means. Ended up taking a sleeping pill, then a tylenol PM and melotonin and mabey some other pain pill - now don't remember - woke up about 12:30 with my cat quite annoyed at missing breakfast.
My cat is trying hard to take my beloved Liesl's place. When I come home she runs to the door and is now sleeping on the bed and occasionally comes and sleeps next to me when I'm on my side. All is great except that weird kneeding with claws - I really so NOT fond of that.... Hmmm. She is also a sensory cat - she doesn't tolerate being petted well and lothes being picked up. Liesl wanted to be carried around like a baby and always slept on my head and if ever I sat down was in my lap in a heartbeat and follwed me everywhere - even waiting outside the shower for me. Still miss her horribly.
NM. - You sound absolutly wonderful!!! And I agree so hope you have enough sick days for Monday to be your last and let the scrambling begin!
Kymn - Oh I can just hear the pain and anguish in your post. I'm so sorry you are having such a dreadful time right now.I would imagine it will hit hard at times until it is over. Do what the others prescribe with water and protein and try and do things you like - go to a movie or lunch with friends to take you mind off everything. Do anything that makes you happy. I know being a Mom it is hard to put yourself first but you not only deserve it you NEED it and right now!!!
Kathy and Goldie - love how English is so crazy! Kathy I'm going to copy that poem to give to my DD who still seems to have trouble with it all. Hopefully she will get that it is funny!!
Claire - thanks for all the advice and thoughts. I think slowly getting rid of SO may be in the picture but not 100% sure yet we'll see how the cooling off period goes. He is now mad so he is difficult to deal with and childish. So what do marionberries taste like?
I love lamb! My ex who was an amazing cook used to make fabulous lamb. And I used to make a wine marinated lamb chops which were lovely. But as my kids are so so on it. Haven't done it in a while. My DD just loves the mint sauce! Oh I remember another recipe with mint and bing cherry sauce - hmmm I did really like that one....
My wonderful cousin is coming to visit in two weeks for Easter. My Dad was always his champion as his parents basically looked at his as their personal slave labor and was not treated right. Now my Dad is gone and his Mom and his Dad is elderly and not doing well. Unfortunantly he married a woman who is basically his Mom! So he needs to excape for a while! He is very good with repairs and assures me he thinks he can fix my poor old attic fan. One time he was here and under my dinning room with no access a pipe sprung a leak. well if he didn't knock down a cement wall, dig out mounds of red clay to make a tunnel to get under the floor and repaired the pipe - with Blow torch mind up in a very tiny space expecially for someone 6'2"!!! Otherwise I'd probably have had to rip up the dining room floors and had a tremendous expense. Well now he repairs and puts together organs for churches and personal use. As his father has a tremendous organ in his house!!! Growing up we used to hear about this crazy organ that was huge and stored in several warehouses across the country - well he finally built a sound proof room off his house and they give concerts and my cousin has a organ camp in the summer. So he can fix pipes of all kinds!!!
Sorry rambling on as I should go put insullation up in the attic but now it is hot up there and not wanting to move much.... Ouch. I am so sore all over and the bruise is ugly but small! Sigh.....

Stanzie, How nice that your cousin will be visiting! Enjoyed hearing about his huge organ (get your minds outta the gutta girlz.....the musical organ!)....and how talented his is. Amazing how he fixed that leak UNDER your dining room.....saved you a bundle. I agree with you about the heat....dang it I was working outside, and it is upper 80's already and SO humid my head was just drenched and dripping sweat. Had to do a little, get in the shade, felt like passing out, etc. And this is APRIL??? Planted some things which wilted right away....so had to shade them. Guess will have to wait till this evening to get back out there. Hope your bruises heal well. And that is just plain childish how "SO", I mean "SOB" is acting! I think he needs to be tossed to the curb.....
Kymnie, so sorry to hear how badly you are feeling. BUT this is when you need to be with us the most, so don't worry about any ranting. Just don't stay away, we are trying to hold you up! Stay here at the HTL, get pampered by Pants and Jocks, and just hang out. AND rant when needed!!!
OK..heading to the shower. Was going to have an icy cold beer, but too tired for that. Did I really say that???? Junie, don't disown me....I am sure I will want a dwink soon enuf!

Oh, I just got a call from Hugh Heffner and seems he wants me to move to his manse! Thanks Lori. I lmao after the shock of seeing myself sshhmoking again, you are da bomb!
Beans, sorry you are too busy to partay, golly gee wiz, that just stinks!
Where is Kathy, at the casino? I am prowling around looking for someone to buy a drink, feeling good on this fine evening. Just started an outdoor fire and the partay is here.
Stanz, glad you are alright and hope the pain leaves soon. I also enjoyed reading about your family and the organ makes me think of growing up and helping my dad rebuild player pianos. It was really neat, we would make new bellows and replace valves, it was a blast. I actually learned alot of the pieces that I play from our old player piano. Mom and Dad sold that when they moved to Myrtle beach as they do not play and me and my other sister already have nice ones. I bought a new one about three years ago and it is beautiful. Anyway, good luck with S.O. and I hope you can get it through his head that you are on break. Practice dismissing him when he contacts you and try to take some time to yourself and enjoy the good things in life.
Kymn, sending you more hugs. When you get up, open your front door, the girls here got together and got you some feel good items. We hope you feel better soon and want to say we love you bunches.
and bunches.
Flowers from the tenders, wenches, Pants, Jocks and Hunk, they send their love ♥
and Stanzie baked you a peach yogurt loaf, if you do not feel like eating it now, it can be frozen.I am thinking about you and praying for you to again feel well. Hugz girl, hang tough!!
Hello to Gail and Claire. And to Chrissie and Kristy. And HD, Karen and NM.
Let's all have a toast to NM, she did us proud....Here's to NM and her newest endeavor. I wish you nothing but the best. gals, grab a glass of bubby champagne and let's toast, CHeErS!!!!!
edited to add the bubbly, oops!

Did it again....dang I wish I knew what darn keys I hit to make my post go *poof*. Anyway, Dorothy I am sooo glad you got away from the mansion for a bit, to check in with us! And what a good job Lori did on your cover shoots. AMAZING! Luv, luv,luv the champagne toast, but will add a bit of peach schnapps to mine, unless it is a Moscato Asti. *clink* here's to our NM! And that was so nice of you to send those goodies to Kymn! You are verrrrrry thoughtful. I will be in the casino for real tomorrow, staying just 2 nights. Wish you all could join us there! Maybe someday. Tell "Hef" I said Hi....see if he remembers me from when I met him in the 70's.....or was that only a dweam?
Chug A Lug,
Kathy (risque wisque)

Popping in for some of that champagne and peach schnapps !Dorothy, you are looking gorgeous as always. Toasting our most wonderful Kim (NM) and Kymn. Kymn, hang in there....in a few days you will be feeling better. Stay home and rest, build your body and immune system back up. If your counts are low, you are more subject to getting sick from germs you encounter. I hope they told you that in a chemo class. NM, you are just amazing and I am not worried about you in the least! Except for you little Starbucks story! Kathy, praying the gambling Gods are with you.....unless DorK's hubby drained them! And how awesome if Junie could meet up with you. I'm SURE she would be there in a heartbeat! If you see Hunk, tell em all of us girls said hello! Stanzie, hope all is going ok with you and you are not hurting too bad. I know nothing about music or organs, so can't comment on your story, other than it is a wonderful story. Do not give in to SO, and certainly DO NOT reward with "favors". BEANS, we will miss you girl.......get that broadband in order and get back to us!
See you all in the morning.......word has it, there's a great buffet in order. (Can you guess who is helping the Tenders organize?)
BOtOmmZ Up!

Lori, Great advice to Stanzie when you told her "Do not give in to SO, and certainly DO NOT reward with "favors". I wholeheartedly agree. Until he is able to treat her nicely, which I am not sure he is capable of. Thanks for hoping the gambling gods are with me. I wish Junie could be there, but she can't go this time....
. Anyone else wanna come???Dorothy, Thanks for what you said about my parents....I can't wait for them to get here! They will be entertaining my cousin from OZ for a couple of dinners at the Country Club, along with some others. Thank God they won't have to cook! My cuz has never been to the US, but will just go to HI....wish I could be there too. Bet you can't wait to get into your pool!!! So glad you are healing well. Wonder why it has been so hard with the expanders and implants? That is SO not fair! But you are beautiful regardless, and you have a very positive attitude!
Seems like a quiet night tonight at the HTL. After that partay at Junie's house, I guess we all need to chill for awhile. Oops.....Stanzie just handed me some "brownies"....shall I? Oh yes! Thanks so much Stanzie, what a good way to "chill" out!
Peace,
Hippie Kathy (aka risque wisque)

You lounge lizards are amaaazzzzing! Takes me so long to read the day's posts that I forget who said what and forget what I wanted to say!!! But, so good to have so many wonderful posters here at the HTL !!! BARMEN!!!!
I never mean to leave anyone out so big huggssss to ALL!!! And, here's what I remember.........(hopefully, I'll get some things right....)
Stanzie's thinking to cool it with SO--maybe permanently. Go for it, girl--sounds like he's rather inconsiderate and immature--his loss, your gain!
Beans got 'puter problems but will be back soon.
Kymn's having a pity party---hooray--another PAR TAY!!!! Kymn, better get ready; the bus will be there shortly! Don't ever apologize to any of us if you're having a bad day....just let it out here when you need to. Think we're a mixed group of chemo/no chemo, but I think the non-chemo girls have heard enough stories from around bc.org to totally understand. We love you and care and understand.....so pity party any time you need!
NM--sounds like you've landed a perfect fit job. Your delight and relief and happiness radiate through your post. Selfishly, I'm hoping you will still have time to start our days off with smiles and laughter!! If not, you'll have to send us to bed on a happy note. CONGRATS!!!
Lori--yesyesyesyes, wish I was meeting Wahine in Tunica! Wahine--ditto to the grace of the gamblin' god!!!! Travel safe and have a great time--and win BIG!!!
We were awakened at 4:30 this morning by a most horrible, notintheforecast T-storm, and HAIL!!! We all jumped out of bed (yes, Pancho sleeps with us!) because we thought the skylights were going to break! We've had hail here before but NOTHING like this! We ran to the front door and turned on the porch light--the front yard and street were totally white with hail and it was still pounding down....so, I looked at DH and said, "OMG! That's the biggest hail I've EVER seen.....run out there quick and grab me a handful so I can see just how big it is...." Needless to say, DH looked at me, with this horrid hail banging down..."Are you F'ING crazy?" ...and, I collapsed in giggles.......think my sense of humor is coming back!!!! Found out later today that our hail was quarter-size! Lord, I NEVER want to see baseball-sized hail!!!!!
Dork--I'm here and I'll buy ya a drink but only if you agree to sit up and jabber with me all night long!!!!! Think there are a couple of empty hammocks out at the pool. Let's have a few in the bar first, then a quick pass through the casino! Anyone else want to join us poolside?????

Oh dorothy - How hilarious to ask your DH to go out and grab some!!!! Just hilarious. I'm with you baseball size hail would be terrifying not to mention how much damage it would do!!! Glad you are feeling better!

Not sure what I am ready for right now. Got my computer back and can't seem to set anything up correctly. So can receive email, but not send. ARGH!!!
Now, just need to clean up, and hit the sack. Sorry to be a par-tay pooper. Oh well. Things will get better soon, and I do have my files. - Claire

Kymn....hope your are feeling a bit better tonight......wish I was closer so I could bring you a meal, run an errand or something else to help out.....but since I'm not, will have to settle for sending you a gentle cyber ((((((((((hugs))))))))))
Wahine.....you read my mind on why I checked in last night.....my ears were burning!!!
NM...CONGRATS on the new job....and good for you on turning in your notice!!!! In my last position, I was treated so poorly, but it was turned into me doing a lousy job.....sure did a number on my self-esteem.....the situation was toxic and I stayed way too long....no one deserves to be put in that situation, so I'm so happy that you can go "f you to them!!!!!!
Going to go have a glass of wine and then get in bed and read....Enjoying a new Nicholas Sparks book....
Got to get up early tomorrow.....do a Komen table at a health fare....got to be there BC, breast health....and its nice when a survivor comes up and tells me they are a survivor....I don't tell people that I am a survivor, unless they are one and tell me first.....
So many posts in one day....hard to catch up and read them all....I'm just a slacker!!!
Hugs and love to all....sweet dreams....but before then...CHEERS!!!!

Stanzie-pets are amazing, aren't they? I'm sure you miss Liesl, and will for some time to come. I still miss all the dogs I've had over the years, Snookie especially just now. But Sadie does fill the need, just in a different way! I can just imagine your kitty being unhappy about missing breakfast. She'll figure out a way to wake you up if that happens again, I'll bet. Your becoming ex SO truly is an SOB. Tell him to go look up "relationship" and call you back when he gets it figured out. IF he gets it figured out.
Wahine-80's in April??? We're going to have unseasonable warmth the next few days and MAY, MAY, mind you, break 60. Ground is still frozen here. Frost this morning.
DorK-a champagne toast? How wonderful! Thank you so much!
Goldie-the tenders wouldn't let me help set up the Sunday Buffet this morning, something about not right to work on my own celebration? Whatever that means. Gotta admit I'm actually looking forward to watching the scrambling begin when I turn in my letters Monday am! And the new job will actually leave me MORE available for morning DOTD postings, except for Saturday and Sunday mornings. Those will be my working days after I get up and running on the computer system. My weekend morning availability will be determined by how many calls I got during the night and the visit schedule for the day. I'll probably still be on most weekend mornings. Hey, I just had a thought-I bet there are some of you on the thread that haven't been posting your favorite drink recipes so you won't upset me (you wouldn't have, but I understand how that works), or don't want to do it a lot, how about throwing the weekends open? Let the "Open Weekend DOTD" posting begin!
Claire-I had to reset my computer back to factory settings for the second time yesterday. Or was it the day before? Not sure now, still getting everything put back on. This process is a PIA (pain in the Anatomy, mind out of the gutter, gurls). Get some sleep and it will go better with a fresher mind.
Karen-I stayed way too long in a toxic work situation many years ago. Promised myself I would not stay in another one, and, thank God, I have the strength to take care of myself and move on despite any consequences. My self esteem and integrity is more important than a job rating. Don't beat yourself up about your situation, it's over and done, but don't let it happen to you again!
DOTD-the Big Ol' Hail Stone
3 cl Vodka
(crushed) Ice
(Fill to Top) Soda Water
3 cl EggnogDirections
Mix everything togeather in the glass and make sure that the ice is crushed. The best is if the ice is like "slush". You can also serve the drink with a slice of kiwi.

Good morning loungettes,
First must apologize to Junie, forgot to mention you on my post, I just knew my druwken brain would miss someone important.
And let's get NM's celebration started. First with breakfast, come one come all, the breakfast buffet is open
Kim (NM), just yesterday I was thinking to my damnself that I did not know your name - seems like someone blew your cover! Do you mind if I address you as Kim? Great post as always. Loved the one for Stanzie! I will try to cover for you on the weekend IF I do not see you post before this time of day. Congrats again. I say we get on the bus, get drunk and come to work with you to see the expressions on the creeps faces when you deliver your wonderful news. And heck, while we are there,we can get tiny and antagonize your soon to be former coworkers. Anyone up for a roadtrip?
oh look, the tenders now have the beer bar open, just for you!
Let's drink!

Good Morning Loungies!
Hitting the road soon, but HAD to come here and see what NM has posted for us! Brrrrrrrr......"UP" to 60? I do like those temps better than up to 90 though! I am soooooo achy this morning, but so glad I worked my butt off (but its still there) the last couple of days. LOTS more to do outside, but its a start. I was just thinking about your Snookie the other day....what a sweetie she was. But so glad you and Sadie found each other, as that is also a perfect fit! Stanzie, that is sweet that your cat is getting to be closer to you now, although not nearly as cuddly and affectionate as Liesl was. I keep thinking how sad I will be when something happens to my fur babies. We all end up loving our pets sooooooo much, it hurts! Maverick had a small tick I pulled off, on top of his head, a few days ago. Well there was a big bump there too, so I was afraid the head stayed in, and it ended up raw there, so I kept putting antib's on it. THen I thought there was another tick there so pulled it off, but it ended up being the scab. OUCH! And he didn't even whimper. Well, everytime it has formed a new scab, Molly is licking it off! Sheesh, poor Mav. Yesterday, finally, it looks like the bump is gone and it is amost healed. It worried me, since it was on the top of his head, and I didn't know where the infection might go. DH loves lying down in the yard and of course they run right over to him and stay there....he is so happy, and they are too! We just love them so much.
Well, a few things to do, then its "On the Road Again"....and then hopefully a big jackpot???? Will try to check in while we are gone....BUT you all be good, now, y'hear??? J/K......ummmmm just don't do anything I wouldn't do! (Sounds like you have carte blanche, doesn't it? LOL).Ohhhh, nice post Dorothy! Sawwry I was typing when you posted!!!
Peace Out,
Kathy (risque wisque)
