    YAY!!! KATHY'S BACK! (Guess she found the generator I sent her, he he he!)

    NM - I love the waterslide and the WAHINE DOTD is perfect, you did it, got her back with that good strong dwinky-poo! Love the hula dancers - weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

    Kathy - so glad to see you BBBBAAAAAAACCCCCKKKKK! Missed you chicky-babe-wisque!

    junie - hope you also had a great weekend, see you at the pool, SPLASH!

    AStorm - Not worried at all about your exam, but I'm sure it's torture to keep on studying. Love your WD, Kitty and Corgi pics!!

    Goldie - 16 this am? wow, that's so cold, even our stinky weather has gotten warmer. Hope those cold temps stop soon. Thanks for the compliment on my silly avatars...I have a pic of me running yesterday now and that is one of the sillier ones!!! I get tired of looking at myself though so will have to switch. I like the kitty with the Groucho Marx glasses, there are so many funny cat pix. I think Stanzie's is soooo soooo cute!

    Karen - sorry you got spammed, I didn't get any of those I guess. Hope the spammer is gone, how awful.

    Kymn, Husker, HD - hope you are all doing well!

    Now back to splashing around, bobbing for dog beers!

    dog

    Ohhh  JeanieBeanieWeanie that splash of icy cold water feeels goooooood! Hot day today and trying not to have the a/c on too low. Would have liked Lori's temps when we didn't have power,as we could have saved the food outside...as it was, the ice sure melted fast even in the good coolers. And I coulda slept at nite w/ the cooler temps. Many tanx foa da genarata, Beans! Came in hand-i. Oh and that icy cold Seagrams/Diet is purrfect....tanx agin. The dog in your pic reminds me of our dogs, esp Molly as she is English Springer Spaniel/Cocker Spaniel (Maverick is EngSprSpan/Border Collie), but both are blk/wht. Love your avatar....you are in such good shape, I am yellious!

    Hey DorK, How is the hubby situation? Gotta fill me in.

    Karen, Glad you ordered your granite! We actually got the new hi-end Formica and it looks so much like my mom's granite counters. Easy to care for too. Edges have neat detail, and main giveaway is one area where a counter jogs out and couldn't get the edge on one side. Not sure if I want to tile the backsplash or have it done though.

    Well, had a S-H-O-W-E-R....had almost forgotten what that was like...LOL. NOW to help my parents get their tv going and micro going (their micro is so dang hard to set, even I have probs with it). Then to see the damage in our condo (from tenant who STILL has not paid since March). Worried she split and left all her rotting food in the fridge. She may still be in there, who knows? Lots of people here have kids at UofA (Tuscaloosa), an area badly hit. An atty here was just on tv as his 3 sons go there so they bought 2houses for them while in school....one was totally destroyed, other damaged,w/2 cars destroyed...but kids were ok. The tv weather guy I mentioned b4 I lost power, was helping others get into his tornado shelter, and didn't make it in himself...house destroyed....he was badly broken, but still uncovered the wood planks etc to the storm door so his kids and neighbors could get OUT. Then he went to hosp. Some of his neighbors died too. Stories keep emerging.

    Glad to be back here. Will try to ketchup at pau hana time, but will be w parents too, so might be late!

    Cheerio!

    Kathy!!!!!! So glad you are back - awfully worried about you so thanks for checking in when you could. I looked and looked for your phone and email address but I think they went with the computer that died! So glad you and your family, pets and home and trees are all safe. Those storms were just too terrible for words. I cannot imagine what those people are going through that lost everything! I worry when my kids are with my ex as he doesn't have a basement and the 1story is full of big windows. I have a basement even though it is small it would certainly work. Anyway, so glad you are safe and back - we all missed you terribly - just wasn't the same without you!

    More later......

    Kathy, DH and I are still separating but are speaking and he has been "visiting". So far, he is passing the test. He got so upset that I would do such a thing as put him out, he claims to be a changed man. We will see. Hope all goes well with your parents. And what a story, sorry for the food you lost but look at the bright side, likker does not need to be cold. Seriously though, my heart aches for those in your state, such devastation, there are not words to describe how I feel.

    Stanize, is it Suzie? I am running out of names, help. A vowel, pretty pleeeeeeze??

    Lori, sorry it is winter there, unbelievable how cold it is. Pants will have a warm snuggie to wrap around you tomorrow if it is too cold.

    Beans, I am here at the pool waiting for you. Are you playing hide n seek again? Come out come out wherever you are, Beans? Come on, I know you are hiding. You promised we could bob by the pool. Wahhhhhh!

    Astorm, my WD's also sunbathe on their backs. I sometimes come home at lunch and my middle dog hides in my hosta as she knows I am going to make her come inside and wants to lay in the sunshine. Both of my girls are sun worshipers. Your WD and kitties are adorable, you know I am partial to wd though.

    Junie, I just got ya a bucket of dog beers. Come to the pool and bob with me. We can hide then splast Kathy where she comes out of hiding. We will put ice in her suit too, she said it is hot, she will likey.Thanks for the update on Kathy. Let's have a toast to ding dong the jerk is dead! Yeah!

     Kymn, Kristy and HD, hope you are all feeling well. Pop in the lounge, it is swinging. Well it will be when you all arrive.

    NM, your pics this morning made me think of bible stories. It is hard to swallow that these places that have so much history BC (before Christ) yet things are so ugly now. I think God is mad. I hope and pray every day for peace in the middle east and in the world for that matter. Let there be peace on earth.....hoping your new job is still going good.

    Sorry to be lagging here, I am still not myself. My ex hub's father is not doing so well, he is 85 and having great difficulty. He just got out of a rehab facility on Sat and went back through the ER last night. I call him FIL as DH's father is deceased. I love my ex inlaws very much and am still a big part in their lives. And DH went to the VA for a follow up to his checkup today and there is an issue with his PSA, something to do with the prostrate. OMG, can't take much more drama. He just called while I was typing this. I am about ready to uhh nevermind, I will drink instead.  Tid up! Love you ladies. I am going to check on hockey while waiting for DH to arrive and tell me what is happening. He is so upset again. I have other sheat going on as well, enough already!

    If you each get me a drink, I can be happy, k?

    Ok, I think I have done something either bad or just stupid. I gave my son a pull up bar and we finally got it put together when my cousin was here. So he wanted to try it out and everyone was taking a turn so my son says Mom - you try - Well it would have been fine as I don't think I would have been able to do much of anything but my cousin, trying to help, came behind me and lifted me and it surprised me and sort of made me pull up hard and then twist and contort as surprised someone grabbed me. So that was two days ago and I'm still in pain. Could I have done something awful to the muscle? I had the lat dorsi surgery and it hurts diagonally across the front and right behind my arm - below shoulder. I did ask the last time I was at the PS as far as working with my trainer what I should and should not do. He said there wasn't anything I could do to hurt myself but then that was working with a professional person not being myself and doing this. Any thoughts?

    The scouts came - 5 of them! They seemed to like the den windows, the bar porch windows, entrance hall and master bath windows. It is a company that does window treatments, and hardware..... so who knows if anything will come of it. The weird part was the woman who is based in Fla and has just opened an office here gave me her card. It has a Victorian house front porch. She said it was a local bed and breakfast which she thought looked southern. Anyway, we went out to the yard and she said oh yes, I remember these pictures - I was going to use your garden on my business card or the Victorian house - couldn't decide but finally went with the house. So...... hmmm? If she had used my yard - anyone know if she could do that without premission. Or perhaps I gave her permission without knowing it which isn't good like if I sent pictures then she can do whatever she wants without paying me.... Oh shoot - hope I haven't screwed myself before I even start!!!

    Hiya ladies! Sorta late dragging my butt into the lounge...but better late than never, right??? Had my parents over for Happy Hour, and our new fridge takes SO long to make ice cubes that even though it has been on all day we barely had enough for our drinks. Sheesh.....talk about misery...LOL. DH cooked filet mignon that had been rock hard when we lost power and we kept covered in ice, so it was icy cold the whole time,and just fine.

    Stanzie, OMG you will laff at this, but not TOO hard since you are hurting. When you said you got your son a "pull up bar",I thought "WTH?", why would she want him to start drinking!!! LOL. Thought it was a bar with bar stools that you sat on and pulled up to the bar. Makes sense, right? And someone lifting you up onto a bar stool. FINALLY got what you meant....so I had to laff. EXCEPT when it got to the part that you pulled something and are still hurting. I don't know, but I think whenever you have a concern, it is worth checking it out. Better safe than sorry. Yeah, I would have wanted my kids at your house with a safe area to go to, also. So scary when tornadoes and bad thunderstorms hit! Weird how that lady was thinking of using YOUR property in a pic on her business card. HUH? Not sure if that is ok or not.

    DorK, so very sorry to hear about your "FIL".....hate to hear what he is going through. Glad you are still close to them and I am sure they know how much you care. Hope and pray he will improve. Nice that you can support your ex also, as I am sure he needs it now. Know how hard this is, to be trying to work things out with your husband....so separated, with hope of reconcilation? If he straightens out and acts right?

    All my shows that are usually TIVO'd did not record...shucks!!

    Well girlz it made me sick to go into our beautiful (was beautiful that is) condo and see what a disaster it is now. Still no power there, so 5 days so far and she still had food in the fridge and freezer. Boy did it stink!!! SO, we got a neighbor we know and told her we have to throw out all that food and would she be our witness. I took pics too, as there wasn't much there, ice cream and stuff, no steaks like we had or any meat actually. Was icky horrid throwing all that creeepy crud out, and felt so dirty! Filled it with crumpled newspapers and left, but called her and reminded her the rent from APRIL was a month overdue and now May was due and to call us ASAP. We left a 7 day notice there a wk ago. So now I guess we will change the locks tomorrow. Will hire a locksmith though as I don't want to do it and have her come home or something, I know she wants her BRAND NEW huge tv, so guess she will call us when she can't get in. SO shitty of her and we have been so nice. The new tenant for our townhouse signs tomorrow, and she SEEMS really nice and like she will take care of it. Sure hope so.

    OK, I need another dwink. Ahhhhhhh thanks girls for all the Seagrams/Diet Cokes on the bar. And yes, you can splash me and throw ice on me, I am still warm. Tomorrow will be so cool and I can't wait. Really missed you all! Dee, where are you? And Jaybird?????? Oh yeah, we STILL have curfew so had to make sure my parents got home by 8pm...LOL!

    Sorry this is sooo long, I keep thinking of things I want to say. This is to DorK.....I am cracking up laffing since Stanzies name was already mentioned sooooooo recently!!! BUT if you didn't catch it in the recent post, she did mention it pages and pages ago!!!! This is fun!!! Beans, did you get it yet???

    ChEARS,

    Girls, checking in early as I am tired and need a spot in the HOT TUB. I think I still have a little Bailey's Chocolate Mint (if you have not tried this, it is mmmm....good!) to sip on while the bubbles work the kinks out of my back.

    Still having numbness issues, especially in right hand and both feet. Luckily I am left-handed but it is getting annoying with typing, etc. Dorothy, I am worried I won't be able to play duets with you on the baby grand! I forget, those pool boyz give massages, don't  they, 'cause the doc won't let me in "real" life. Closing eyes now...

    Wahine, so glad you are back and okay. I must say I thought the exact same thing when I read that Stanzie had a "pull up bar" for her son. I was wondering if he was old enough to drink, and really, was that something a mom gives her kid, but I'm sorta new here and still figuring out all the relationships. Dang. A bar for pull ups! Duh. Sorry. But ya gotta get it checked out if it still hurts tomorrow. Better to know and deal with it...but most likely just a pull that needs time.

    Kymnie, hope you are okay. I know you have been hurting all weekend. Sending feel-good vibes to perk you up and make you smile. Come join the party if you can. At least peek in the door. Undecided

    Welcome "home" Wahine--know you're glad to be re-connected to the world!!!  We surely did miss you!

    Tid's up, Dork--here I come for my dog beers...it's okay if someone else drank them, Jocks will bring some more.   Stopping for just a sec in the casino to see if anyone is there--I'll drag them to the pool with me.   And, pausing at the bar for a bucket of ice to help cool Wahine off!!!  

    Think Lori sent me her cold weather--it has finally stopped raining tonight but supposed to drop to near freezing--come on, MommyNature--GIVE US A BREAK!!!!

    Hey!  I've been saving big wads of tin foil--do we still need foil???   I still laugh when I see some!   Amazing what sticks in my mind.  HD--hope your follow-up eye check went well.   Isn't that surgery amazing!!!!

    Here's my bizzaro story for the day....this afternoon (of course, DH wasn't home...) I caught a few seconds' glimpse of some big critter moving through a corner of the back yard.   It had a dead animal dangling from its mouth (the animal in the mouth had a bushy tail..prob a squirrel, but it is a distance away and not sure I could see a squirrel's tail....maybe a raccoon.....it disappeared down the ravine so fast I didn't get a real good look.........when DH got home, tried to tell him what I saw--and, butthead!   He asked if I was sure it wasn't a pink elephant!  Hah!--he HAS seen a couple of the bizzaro things in our backyard!!!

    Would love to buy some kind of night-vision goggles/binoculars--DH says they are prohibitively expensive, but I'll bet I would see ALL kinds of things out there after dark!   I will go out on the deck after dark--but only if I can be right by the door.   I will not go out the front door or the garage door by myself after dark!!!

    ok--cover your drinks, you loungies in the pool--heeeeeeerrrreeeee I COME!

    So glad you are all here!

    Kathy - Bin Laden preempted most of the shows last night so all you missed was pundits hypothesizing... if you really want to see that CNN is apparently going to spend the rest of the week on it...

    Dorothy - my pets ARE cute, but the pix I posted were from the Internet... I seem to have pets that have a lot of evil twins (orange tabbies, red WD, blonde corgi) so it's easier for me to find cure pix that look like them than to find my camera, get the shot, and then upload the photos. (kind of like buying postcards on vacation instead of taking your own photos -- I'm that sort of person) I like to think it's cuz I'm too busy LIVING to stop and take pictures but it's probably a little laziness too... and it's hard to focus when you dwunk... hard to focus without glasses these days.

    Beanie - nice avatar! I like you bobbin cat too.

    Stanzie - cute avatar... Did you know you are on Wikipedia? You're famous! Think I'll remind DD2 again not to quote wiki in her research papers though cuz they might have the facts wrong on the "ducksheep".

    I'll be studying in the closet (ssshhhhhh) with a glass of wine. Cheers!

    Oh Kymn, I hate that you are feeling so awful. I am sorry, when I was trying to skim the past PAGES of posts from last Wed, I must have missed that. Maybe TMI, but you have tried stool softeners, right? Doesn't always work, but not sure what else to suggest. And I know nothing about what works when having chemo. I am so sorry, oh and I am #1,234,567,891 person to say BC F'ING SUCKS!!!!! Gentle (((hugs))) for you.

    Gail, Yeah I guess I didn't miss any shows last night, but all the others starting with last Wed night. Of course the recordings don't take place when the cable co is down too, so I have been trying to catch up with Hulu.com. Now I am having the probs Lori had b4 in that I may have to wait 1-2 wks to see them. Before I would see them 1-2 days later. Oh well, small prob. Finished off the Seagrams with Beans, so might just join you in the closet for some wine.

    Goldie-do I read what I post? That's a question that's a bit hard to answer ‘cause the answer is both yes and no. Some background: 1. I am not truly functional until I've had at least 2 mugs (not cups) of coffee. 2. I get on the boards WITH cup of coffee #1. 3. When I read things with cup of coffee #1 I don't always comprehend or remember what I'm reading. 4. I'm not going to change this pattern ‘cause it creates some very funny postings! I didn't even realize there were warnings in the post, I just remember the first part about hubbies. . . .

    WAHINE!!!! Welcome back! So glad you got away with comparatively minimal damage. Losing a fridge full of food is not fun but at least food is easier to replace than buildings and vehicles. I'm sure life is better with electricity and internet.

    Beanie-thanks for giving me credit for getting Wahine back, but that really is God's work!

    DorK-please be careful of DH (that's d@mned Hubby in your care) when he makes promises. Abuses are very good at making promises to get back in the abusee's good graces. Make the test a VERY long one, abusers can only behave for a while, they eventually revert back to former behaviors. Sorry to hear about FIL, it's so hard when family ages and the health starts to decline.

    Stanzie-It sounds like you pulled that lat dorsi mucle, which is painful but not usually a cause of damage. It takes time to heal and can be sore for a while. You could call your PS office and run what happened by them for reassurance. My PS told me when my restrictions were lifted that if Tylenol, heat and/or cold and rest made the pain better it probably wasn't serious and don't worry about it until it's been painful more than 2 weeks. My PCP said the same when I mentioned some concerning aches and pains to her. Have you tried Tylenol or the like? I know what it's like to worry, though.

    Husker-Aren't the hot tub massages wonderful? I love getting them. Works out the kinks soooooo nicely. . . .

    Junie-I would love to know what that critter was! Chupacabra, maybe? Seeing wildlife is so cool, when you know what it is. Sometime I'll tell you all about the time a moose looked in my bedroom window. . .

    AStorm-I buy postcard books when I go on vacation. They've got the greatest pics, and I only need to take pics with my travel companions in them! I've got some really good blackmail pics that way.

    Kymn-call your onc office. If you are feeling this badly you need assistance, possibly even a short hospital stay to get things straightened out. Let us know how you make out.

    New job continues to go very well, thank you all very much! 

    DOTD:  The Bag of Ice Cubes for Wahine: 

    1/2 oz Grand Marnier
    1 oz Peach Schnapps
    1 oz White Rum
    1 oz Orange Juice
    1 oz Pineapple Juice

    Directions
    Shake and strain into collins glass with ice. Garnish with a cherry.

    image alt="" />So is this is what we call a moose down here in the south but I'm thinking you are talking about a larger variety, NM? Want to hear the story.

    image alt="" /> imgres.jpeg

    Junie- look for children's night vision goggles - my kids used to have some and they worked great and were cheap! Then we want to hear all the stories and if some pink elephants drinking martinis show up  - well the all the better - more company to join.

    NM - Thank you, gosh I think you must be the most lovely of nurses! You explain things so nicely and make me feel so much better. Yes after I wrote that if finally dawned on me to take a pain killer and it worked beautifully so I'm thinking that is what I did but I was getting really worried last night - of course thinking all the worst things possible.

    Kymn - so sorry you have having such problems and feel awful. That happened to me after my surgery and my caretaker( sister) wouldn't drive in the city so she wouldn't go to the store for me even though there is a 24 hour store pretty much end of the street go one block and you are there - all residential nothing scary. I mean she lived here till 2006! Anyway, finally got the glycrine suppositories and worked wonderfully in something like 10 minutes. I will never NOT have them on hand now as that was one of the most horrible nights I have ever had. Cried most of the night while my caretaker slept. Ugh.

    Dorothy - I'm agreeing with NM about your DH. Be careful. I'm still trying to wean off my SO. I did fine for about 2 weeks and he is trying to come back.... He is trying to be really nice even came over to help me clean before the location scouts which as I was so exhausted I let him. He finally at least seems to understand he isn't particularily welcome still .... so we'll see. I think the whole relationship is just very changed and I don't see how it can ever go back. So Dorothy do take time and really think things through. If possible go talk to a counselor - someone objective who can be your advocate and help you advocate for yourself. I know I need to do this as well.

    Love having Kathy back!

     Astorm - yes I agree you do have cute furbabies! 

    OK, did I tell you about the location woman's husband who came with her who she referred to as eye candy! LOL!!! He was this older (?) I don't know perhaps early 70's very buff Italian guy wearing skin tight clothes and had the poofiest hair I have every seen - styled and sprayed like women "used to do". He was very hard to understand and wanted all the attention. Can't imagine being married to him. The whole situation was out of the movies  she was all business like but holding her husbands hand, one woman really working, the other seems sort of scared and the younger guy just being ordered around to measure everything.... anyway, just sort of odd!

Wouldn't have ever even thought about that. But no matter what kind of bar - exercise or drinking - yep I'd be the one who would hurt myself.... remember the attic?

    Beans, how sweet of you to send Kathy a generator and so thoughtful! There is nothing silly about your avatar, you look fabulous. And yes it was cold, and cold again this morning at 23. I think that is the end of it and will be 80 in a day or so.

    Kathy, we have the formica that looks like granite too. I have quite a bit of counter space and since our house really has no resale value, I couldn't see spending the money on granite. My bathroom fomica looks like .... like.....not sure of the word I want....sandstone? The texture of it. Sorry to hear about your renter. I am always trying to talk DH into buying a house and renting it out.......he says NO WAY! Anyways, welcome home. So glad you and your family were spared.

    DorK DorK Dork.........READ.....we had a winner! Sounds like you have lots going on in your life, sorry about that. But for some reason, I know you will be ok.......is just sux!

    Stanzie, certainly you could have pulled or maybe even torn a muscle. A call to the doc never hurts. I hope you feel better soon. Maybe our NOB (nurse on board) can help. I hope those scouts pick your house! Could you take a picture of your house and yard so we can all see???? Pretty please? As for someone using your house on their advertisement, doesn't sound legal to me. I would think you would have to sign something saying it was ok. JMO.

    LOL @ Kathy and the pull up bar! But what a bummer about your renter. You will have to take all that to court to get your money?

    Junie, I don't think any of us will ever look at tin foil the same again. Ha ha ha, pink elephants! I too often what is running around during the night. I'm sure you probably have more interesting critters than I.

    Kymn, we all hate that you feel like poop. I'm so sorry hon. Hoping today is a better day!

    NOB (may I call you that?) NM, you are right, it does make for funny posts, so please don't change a thang! Besides, how could you possibly see everything with that big mug of coffee? Oh my, those 20 extra years are not looking so good....LOL!

    HD, you are staying away too long.......come out and play!

    NM, I am going to pony up another DOTD, inspired by Junie.

    Morning! My netbook got a virus last night and darn thing won't even get past the desktop....gotta call my puter expert kids for help. That sucks!!!!

    Many thanks for the Bag of Ice Cubes drink, NM! Ohhhhhhh sooo cool and refreshing!! Good advice for Stanzie per her pain; so nice to have a NOB here. (We have a NOB and a DorK...what will be next? LOL). Love your posts, as always!!!! Want to hear the moose story too.....

    Stanzie, YAY you got the moose looking in the window, posted! I think we all got a laff about you buying your son a bar...LOL. Weird, totally weird people you invited into your house...."eye candy"...yucko is more like it. So strange how they acted, etc. Hoping your pain eases up with pain meds and heat or ice. CONGRATS on making it 2 wks w/out the SO'B'!!! And yes, it does take a long time to see if someone will actually change. Way to go! (And hey, you got him to help you even w/out the relationship like it once was...that is a definate coup)!

    Lori, Yummmm a neat DOTD for Junie! Soooooo cute. Don't think we can take tenant to court....heard it is hard to get money from a turnip (only southern expression?). It really sucks though that she hasn't pd for over a month; the place is a wreck (and was beautiful when she moved in); and right now there are SO many people here needing a place to stay. Should be easy to rent right now if she were out, and we had time to fix it back to how it was. We're going on a cruise on the 21st, so would have to work fast...WHEN she gets out that is. Aarrrgggghhhhhhhh!!!!

    Hmmmmm just 4 of us here so far....NM, Lori, Stanzie, and myself. *CLANG* (banged metal lids together).....time to get up all you lazy butts (J/K)!!!! Rise and shine....and here are the DOTD's all lined up on the bar. Come and get it!!!

    Storms today....yuck.....still lots without power....very thankful we have ours on. Hope no one here is in the path of all that flooding. Wait....junie...you mentioned your lake flooding...how are you doing? Hope you are all stocked up with ML's and Dog Beers in case you can't get out. Let us know how that situation is, where you are. OH and great idea Stanzie had about getting kids night vision glasses...my late DH had a pr of very $$$ ones, since he was a Green Beret...I must have given it back to someone in his unit as I haven't seen them. Maybe I need some night vision glasses to find the night vision glasses...lol.

    Kymn, Hope you are doing better today....might need to take our own NOB's advice!

    Cheerio! Titz Up! Bottoms Up!

    I read posts and then for the life of me couldn't remember what on earth I wanted to say, finally remembered.

    I asked a friend of mine whose husband is a lawyer about using pictures without permission. She was on her phone and her answer came back - that would be an unethical abdomen violation of copyright! LOL!!!!! It was her phone!!! Made me laugh!

    Thanks all, my chest/back shoulder is feeling much better - just panicked - nice to have some people to panic to!

    Stanzie.... "abdomen"???? LOL. Made me laff too. Glad your shoulder is better now....yay!

    Kymn, How are you doing chica??? Puleez call your dr or go to ER if you don't feel better.

    Beans, Hope your power stayed on! Still lots here without power and 2 substations went out today that were on yesterday. Not sure if from storms today, or just overload. Condo still has no power and have STILL not heard from tenant....aarrggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

    Hi Goils, I think the tempest has finally passed.  FIL was laid to rest this morning and DH and DD will be on the early morning flight home tomorrow so I will see him probably about 1.00pm....sigh......I really missed the silly old chook and will be glad to be able to see him for a couple of days before I head off back to the city to deliver my GS's to their mother and take care of a few docs appointments.......another sigh.......I will be very glad to get home at the end of next week so I can put my feet up and rest my aching knees!  they are so sore from all the walking I've done over the last caouple of weeks.  Mareike is finally on the mend and has returned to work in an advisory capacity only....and I hope she keeps it that way for a few weeks at least.  She is of course very happy that she has finally gotten rid of the pain.

    Wow Kathy you sure have been through some storms!  I'm just very glad that you and yours are all okay although a little battered.  Do you usually get such devistating storms in your area?

    Kymn, if you are feeling soooo bad, you need to let you onc know........like right now!  It's important.

    Stanzie, glad you're feeling better! Cute mooses....big and little ....lol

    Dotty......mmmmm......I think a little care might be in order.....I know it's hard but tigers don't change their stripes just because they say they have.

    Oh boy, I really think I have some hard drinking to do to catch up so starting right now I'm headed for the bar to start.  Who's coming with me?   PaNtS!!!!!!!

    TITZ UP!!!!!

    Joining you at the bar, Chrissy! Glad Mareike is doing so well, and hope she does take it easy for awhile and not work TOOOOO hard. So sorry about your FIL, and hope things will start going better for all of you. You sure had a lot to deal with all at once. You know...you don't have to wait till the end of next week to put your feet up....this is our zanadu, utopia, escape....you can do whatevah you like here. Nice to hear from you again!!!!

    Chrissy, I meant to include you this morning, to see how your daughter was and forgot. I'm sorry, my bad. But so good to hear she is doing better.

    Kathy, sorry 'bout the virus and non paying person....I hope you can get her stuff out of there. Not so sure I would even give her her tv back!

    Stanzie, glad you are feeling better.

    I put up a new avatar, but I don't think I like it! One of these days, I will take one that I like! Or I can find a picture of a cute cat!

    Feeling onry.............think I'll go tip anyone laying in a hammock into the pool.....tee hee!
