    jest popping in from my mini in my bed in de htl ufo. me tinks we will be landing soon.  as i feel myself shrinking!

    NM such an awesome rant. I am glad you feel better after that but I sure can relate. rant often and rant loud!!

    Beanie, what a heartfelt post. I was awake last night when u posted but was just getting off the couch where I fell asleep by 10pm.I really enjoyed your post.

    Loving all dese great posts and I wish i had me assistant to help with commenting to all of you gals, trying to lay low with my arm and typing does affect the pain. Getting soaked connecting the pool cover pump did not help either. I get so mad at dh when he disconnects things trying to help. It took all my might to plug in the pump, the prong pluggy thing is sooo tight. he should have just unplugged it from the  outlet and not the pump too.

    I am going to call my parents then rest my body until de ufo lands.my body is feeliing the rain, it is nasty here. where are we landing anyway? can't remember where Cindy lives. my bad!! Mr Big, come spank me lol (thanks Allison fo r making him our ttl disciplinarian.

    Kathy, I like seeing that Beanie face too. You too are a naughty naughty girl, and so selfish you and DorK are....gheesh! Hogging up all the bottom shelf.....pfft!

    Shannon, all that sweet stuff isn't good for you anyways.

    NM.....playing with 3 and 4 year old, I am jealous. I just love little ones, I am always asking DH if we could adopt some grand babies! At least the pain you have is that of a good kind! As for da newz, I don't watch much of that either, which is why I seem so dum sometimes! HERE HERE ON THAT RANT! WELL DONE CHICA. HOW COULD YOU NOT FEEL BETTER AFTER THAT ONE????

    DorK, hoping you can get some rest..........so NO SPANKINGS!

    • Hey! Who moved the Seagrams and the JD to the TOP shelf???? Shame on you! Looks like the bottom shelf is full of beer and the makins for some Duck Farts....ummmmmm....Lori you look verrrrrry guilty! LOL. Well I can think of other ways......OOPS I dwopped my hankychief (had to buy one quickly so I had one to drop!)....awwwww how sweet of you Mr. Big to BEND OVER and pick it up for me! What a gentleman...lol.
    • Dorkie, PULEEZ quit doing so much with your arm.....you will not get well by doing all that. Just rest, and I bet Mr. Big will pay you LOTS of attention if you look more like a damsel in distress......
    • We should have landed by now. Like DorK, I feel myself getting smaller, and smaller, and smaller........can't even see myself now. Lets all get into that hospital room ASAP!

    Forgot a comma there, should have read "must have been that crazy blond, Wahine) Meaning I was speaking to you. I did not mean you were "the crazy blond".

    And I do have powers.............you just wait and see!

    Kathy and Lori, you ladies are cwacking me up!  Talk about keeping it down, me tinks me needs some surgi-tape to keep me quiet as I think me saw something POP up out of Cindy's pocket and it was not a face.

    Pants, Hunk and Jocks are upset over dis new tender and all de attention he is getting. Me tinks me sees Pant cwying again.  See what you did Kathy? 

    Hoping and praying that all went well for Cindy today.  (I hope I have the right loungette).  I am loving how the lounge is growing.  I do still miss Stanzie, Hunky Dory, Kristy aka Little Miss I will pop in de lounge ebery other dey Kristy. 

    NM, the more I "hear" you speak, the more I think you should find an outlet to "blog" for money. You have a great talent in writing and it is sad that those outside the HTL miss it. 

    Kymn, anxiously awaiting an update on FAH.  I hope you did not slip but if you did, we will still love you. I know how attracted you were to him and hope that the attraction is gone.

    Bernie, your DH is a funny guy! I loved the comment about you being out of wine. I hope that you are feeling much better after hibernating for 17 hours. Your poor DH probably had to make sure you were breathing after all that time. How are the burns doing?

    Lori, I just love that pic of you, your hair looks fantabulous. Me still can not believe you are a grandma. You look beautiful. And de sign  stating your innocence...uh, me taught dat in de HTL, you are guilty until pwoven innocent.  I will twy to behave but it ain't easy.  Please don't make Scubz send my people. Yikes, me must a been dwunk when I gave de Scubzster my peoples 411.

    Me is twying to cut back on the dwunk speak. Funny ting, yesterday afternoon, my sister was here helping me clean as DH was preparing dinner. I came into the room and announced that I was "tinking" about "someting", can't remember what I said but my i had to repeat and say I was tHinking of sometHing.  DH commented later and said I was talking like a baby.

    Anyone in de lounge for Pau Hana?  The HTL Flying saucer just dumped me on de roof top of de HTL.Me tinks our Saucer dwiver is saused. 

    CheerZ, fronts and rears!!

    GOLDIE-You are right about the sweets. That's why I changed my diet. Instead of that screwdriver for breakfast it's now strictly vodka. Don't need that dangerous oj in itLaughing As for the sex thread I seem to remember coming across that early on when I got here.Surprised is all I can say about that one. CHEERS ALL!

    DS is still being an a**...he came home from classes and the front door was unlocked...he commented about it and then added...if I had done it you would have yelled at me, blah, blah, blah!!!!  So a bit later, I yelled down to the basement (not yelling but his room is in the basement)....and I don't know if he heard me, but I felt bettere....."if you don't like living at home for free with your parents, feel free to move out and support yourself"....no comment back from him......I'm not one who takes being yelled at without fighting back...but you know its not worth it.....just wait til he needs a favor and geezze, I'm all out of favors!!!!

    Tallked to Mom earlier and she sounded good.....Dad had two doctor appts today and all was well....Mom says that the past two weeks have been good....she has no complaints today, but she could have one tomorrow....made me laugh.....she is feeling calmer about things......

     I got my photo books I ordered...one for me, and one each for my parents and for my MIL....mine came out great...only one pic I didn't like...didn't realize that Dad's head is partially cut off.....going to put them in the mail tomorrow or Friday to my MIL and my parents....was going to give it to MIL for her b'day next month, but don't want to wait a month to mail it....

    DD just getting home....need to go check in with her....BBL

    LMAO at everything I missed since my last post. NM. You are truly a gifted writer, and if you don't mind, I am going to copy and paste what you said, because I believe what you said speaks for all of us. Thank you for writing my/ our feelings down. I love you, girlfriend! One day, I promise, I will find you and give you a great big healing(for both of us) hug!!

    Goldie, ME TINKS YOU'RE GUILTY! lMAO! That pretty face, sweet smile, curly locks??? LMAO! Love ya girl!

    Went clothes shopping today, as none of my clothes fit. It was great, as I now have clothes that fit, and will not worry about weight loss til several weeks after my next surgery on Dec 12th. Bought my first bra too, and it's a 36 C with NO spillage!!!!!! Love it! Plus bought a medium/small workout bra with padding! I am soooooooooooo excited! My tits were bigger than this when I was 12! I saved my $ and had a breast lift/reduction three years ago, and was still in a D cup! Had to pay way more than $ this time around, but so much happier with my breasts, and also have friends for life from here that I never would have met otherwise! Love you girls!

    Came by to wish everyone sweet dreams....having a hard night....feel on the verge of tears, but they won't come.....was telling my DH how much I miss Rosey and Charley (my Berners) and felt like I wanted to cry but couldn't....one of his co-workers has a Berner who is due anytime with 11 or 12 puppies....part of me so wants one, another part says no more dogs....also the situation with my son is really getting to me.....just having one of those days!!!!!  See my therapist in the morning.....damn...I want to cry, cry, cry.....

    Going to finish my bottle of wine...might be a tad too much for one night, but heck I deserve a 4th glass as soon as I finish the 3rd one....Sweet dreams one and all....See everyone tomorrow....

    Greetings from the arctic midwest! Geez it's cold. Looking for my puppy and my heating pad (I'd say DH, but not in that kind of mood yet-ha) to keep me warm tonight. Got chemo port out Friday and still very sore and bruised but so glad it is gone. Am so glad I am not hosting Thanksgiving on either side of the family. Won't have to do that until Christmas. Although I will be thankful to be NED. So strange to think a year ago I had no idea what was in store for me in 2011. I am thankful, but I am not the same. I hate the term "new normal" because I'm not sure I was ever normal (were any of us?!), but I am so tired still of all the appointments and "follow ups". Mammo once a year or every six months? Why not an MRI? Will I ever sleep all night without my faithful Ambien/Ativan? Not willing to try yet. Still thinking I acted too quickly by stopping the Cymbalta. Didn't think I needed it, but emotions tell me otherwise. Hmmm...Have enjoyed all your posts even though I can barely keep up. So will just pop in now and again with nothing very profound, just a quick drink or two. And who said Bailey's is a chaser?!! I see it as the main event!

    Yo... Hello!!? Anyone lurkin In de HTL? Stopped by for a late night (or oily morning) cocktail - hoping that all went well for Cindy. Beans, the UFO was a great call, yes Wahine, hot tubs everywhere!



    DorK, think BIG is the word of the week! Agree that the other lads are a bit jealous. Will make sure to order extra drinks from all!



    Karen, don't lknw what breed a Berner is, but puppies are sooo adorable, cept for de poop and de whining and stuff! But, I know how much comfort and fun a dog can bring! Good luck with that decision.



    Well, gonna try and get some beauty sleep (need even more than Bernie's 17 hours for dat!).

    Taking Frieday off, so tomorrow is my work Friday, yay DMe!

    Good Oily Morning (Love that "new" word, Lisa!)! Lisa, YAY this is your Fried-dey!! WooHoo so glad you will have some time off, finally....hope you will be off this weekend too.

    Ooooooh DorK, can't wait to hear the BIG news!

    Karen, I am like Lisa and do not know what a Berner is (thought St. Bernard, but I had one and they are REALLY big). Hope you do decide to get a new puppy cause even though they are lots of work, the love it preceless. Hope you were able to sleep last night. And I do wish you could cry when you need to, that sure can help. (((hugs))) to you.

    Gail, where oh where are you? Gonna have to send out the Tattie Tenders, or  DorK's "People" to find ya and make sure all is well. Hope you have just been busy, and nothing is wrong. Miss ya!

    Hoping ALL you girlz are doing well, and wishng you all a Happy Thirst-dey! Can't wait to hear what the DOTD will be for today!

    Awwwww............DorK, you are one big HUGE package of SWEETNESS and I did not know we were guilty until pwoven innocent. Hmmmmm.........do we need a lawyer for The HTL?

    I still say I'm innocent...........I want a trial!

    Hey Shannon, we consider orange juice as healthy, so that one is ok, counts as fruit around here.

    Great come back line to your son Karen, and glad to hear your folks are having good days.

    Allison, our friendships here are definitely a blessing. I'm so sorry we all had to become friends in this manner, but I have to say.....it has enriched my life.

    Hey Husker, glad to see you stranger and I will join you in that Main Event. And you really sleep all night? I can't even do that with drugs!

    Oh my Scuby.......did you stay up late, or get up early? You hit the nail on the head about all the BIG things this week. Glad you are taking a day off, Thursdays are my Fridays too, this time of year. Hope you can get some shut eye girl.

    And now for my MAGIC

    Kathy is a blonde!

    Arrgghhh!! Got well into my post and the power went out for a few seconds, erased everything! Yeesh!

    So, starting over. Currently waiting for a call from a counselor in the local area, one who specializes in working with people with cancer diagnosis. Got her name and number and one other from the American Psychological Oncology Society (APOS). The other one is 90 miles away, in the same town as my oncologist, not optimal but still an option. I missed the call back yesterday when I was out running errands. Didn't leave home until after 4 figuring no one works later than that but she happened to be working late yesterday. Go figure.

    Goldie-it doesn't take very long at all to get behind in here, does it? Especially when irrelevant things like work get in the way. And I love playing with little ones, I regularly rent my friends' children so I can do the fun kiddy stuff without looking like a pervert or and idiot. Gonna have the girls overnight sometime soon, that's going to be BIG fun!

    Wahine-oh, my, "pain" instead of "paint," is that what they call a Freudian Slip? Had a massage yesterday evening and the paint, ah, pain is almost all gone now. It was good paint anyway!

    DorK-pop in and say hi, put in your order and STOP USING THAT ARM!!!!!! It's just going to make it paint more!

    Thanks for letting me get up on my soapbox and rant. Sometimes I just have to get it out where it can be heard.

    Scuba-how did you come up with that particular combination of drinks? There MUST be a story behind that!

    Wahine-stop picking on Goldie, I moved the JD to the top shelf right after I hemmed up the back of Mr. Big's kilt. Some of us not sitting right at the bar needed a change of scenery. . . . . .

    DorK-I'm not familiar with blogging for money. Do you know where I can find out more? I am seriously looking into writing an article for one of the oncology journals, too. I'm collecting publication guidelines and looking to see which ones have run personal point of view articles before, those are more likely to do it again. I've even got the beginnings of an outline in my head. Good winter project.

    Karen-I wonder if your DS is thinking about moving out on his own but doesn't know how to swing it between full time school and part time work. I know part time work isn't enough to support yourself on and full time work while in school is almost impossible to manage. Maybe he's overstressed? Maybe part time work and part time school would be better on him? Just throwing out some thoughts, it's probably all just adolescent attitude and behavior. Good for you for not just taking the yelling! The photo books sound wonderful! Such a thoughtful thing to do!

    Ms. Vino-help yourself to anything I write, glad it's helpful! Isn't shopping for clothes fun when you have to get smaller sizes!

    Karen-I think I must have been crying for you yesterday. I had crying spells off and on all day and I wasn't completely sure why. The ones I had after talking to the APOS lady I understand, saying what happened to me and how it affects me out loud always makes me cry. I so wish you could cry, it really does help get the feelings out. Hope you slept well, too. Personally, be a doggy person, I would say go for getting the puppy, but that is something you have to decide after thinking about carefully. But think of all the puppy therapy you'd get!

    Husker! Good to see you! Please do pop in whenever you can, we miss you! The lounge crowd has grown a bit so keeping up is pretty much not possible all the time now, so just jump in whenever!

    Princess Glitter Sizzle says Godlie's Dead Lawyer is the poifect DODT!!!!!!

    PS--heard from the social worker, got a couple other names/numbers, first one I called called me back in less than 3 minutes and I have an appointment for next Tuesday!  AT LAST!

    LOL at NM.....so it was YOU that moved our likker to the top shelf! AND you sewed up the back of Mr. Big's quilt (Oh  I mean kilt)? But we have a new butt to look at? You silly girl. Glad your paint is not so bad now....seems we now have anudder new word in the HTL. And totally fantabulous that you have an appt for next week. YAY!!!!

    Lori, Well ya sure know how to pick em....lawyers that is....hes a keeper! Love your Dead Lawyer dwink, good DOTD! (Just betwn you and me, I still think you are the guilty one but NM has a soft heart and is taking the blame!!!). J/K, just fun kidding with you! Thanks for making me a blonde, my DH will enjoy the change of scenery....LOL.

    Cindy, are you doing ok today??? I think you have the scans today so shall we stay with you? Hoping all went well yesterday, it was hard to see, from that pocket we were in.

    Cheers Dears!

    Good Morning all,

    Sorry to have kept you all waiting about my lunch with FAH..well lets see he was calmer he started wtih you look good which I just said thanks...he doesnt look good btw...he asked if I needed any help around the house anything broken...HUH...he never helped around the house when he lived there for petes sake  I said no I was managing just fine...said he still felt responsible for us....I said well no matter how this goes down he would be responsible for us financially until we get back on our feet told him everything might have to be liquidated if I have to move out of my house he said I dont want you and the kids to have to move I told him well there is no way in hell I am renting my own house from you and giving you all this power he said he wouldnt do anything to harm me or the kids...um really cause you already have and I dont trust you....said he was so lonely and watches for me....I call bullshit but didnt say that....I told him he needed to have a conversation with the kids he owed that to them he said of course he wanted to talk to them I said if you had wanted to you would have but no you have been travelling around doing everything you want hunting trips a trip to edmonton for a hockey game he said he was obligated to go to those or he would have let his friend down....REALLY...I said you were obligated to us...you let us down....he nothing in return to that one. I said look if you have something that I would actually consider about the split then you better come up with it fast cause things are moving along quickly. I didnt tell him about my court date or anything. So that night he is up drinking of course because he lives across the freaking street now I can see this and then the next night he is at band practice so he cant talk....well guess that shows me where your priorites are doesnt it...calls me this am asking if he can call tonight after work I said fine but truthfully girls I just dont see how anything he can say is going to change a damn thing...he will never get the councelling he needs....he will never be fair ....This just sucks I hate being put in the position to have to force someone to sell everything they have I hate knowing that I am doing this to another human being even if he is a FAH. I HATE THIS. AARRGGGGGG

    On a good note I had my first follow up at the cancer clinic yesterday and all looks good. I was given my follow up plan and basically sent back into the world lol..Everyone there was so sweet and so many hugs and compliments.When I was leaving it was so bitter sweet I remember clear as a bell the first time I walked up to those double doors, not wanting to go in pausing because once I went through it was official I was a cancer patient. I remember holding on for dear life to Al's hand clinging for all I was worth and as I walked through those doors for the last time, I was alone.No ones hand to hold and say wow I did it.

    Hugs Kymn
