    A man is doing yard work and his wife is about to take a shower. The man realizes that he can't find the rake. He yells up to his wife, "Where is the rake?" She can't hear him and shouts back, "What?"
    The man first points to his eye, then points to his knee and finally makes a raking motion.
    The wife is not sure and says, "What?" The man repeats his gestures. "EYE KNEE THE RAKE"
    The wife replies that she understands and signals back. She first points to her eye, then points to her left breast, then points to her butt, and finally to her crotch.
    Well, the man has no clue on that one. Exasperated, he goes upstairs and asks her, "What in the friggin' hell was that?"
    She replies, "EYE - LEFT TIT - BEHIND - THE BUSH"

    LOL Bernie! Good Morning!

    Can we continue the knee party today? I pwomise Course, will be spending lots of the time in the bathroom, as I had exlax put in my drink, lol. Yayyyyy Chrissy! Cheers to new knees!! Woo Hoo!

    Undy, so happy to hear your baby has no Rat Bastard! There's a celebration!

    Juliet, you see your doc on Thursday? And Mema too? Will be thinkin about yall! Muah! xoxoxoxo

    Awesome work DorK!! Woo Hoo to the $$$moolah$$$!! You deserve it! And I love your posts, u crack me de hail up! When is your surgery, do u know yet?

    Well, I am supposed to have tattoos done April 25th, but made an appt. for monday morning to see PS. You see, one of my foobs is larger than the other. I thought I could get used to it, cause I don't want anymore surgery! But, been trying to wear certain summer tops, it's very noticeable. So after long talks with DH, he had me call for appt., and we are going Monday am. Have come so far, want all dis behind me so bad, but this just isn't right, and I want to be fixed! So I guess we will be scheduling something soon. It will have to wait until after Derby though, cause I am going this year! My DMx was May 3rd last year, so will celebrate this year at the track making it to one year. Then will have this foob fixed.

    Went to a retirement party last night for DH's boss, which wound up being a UofL vs UofK party. DH and I are UofL fans, hate that they lost. But they played a good game! Very proud of our Cards! And we will now be pulling for our Cats! Was proud of everyone at the party, everyone was either wearing their blue or red, but nobody was talkin smack! It was great.

    Lori, mese is a cwazy goil fer gettin on de puter in de mid of de nite, mese knows dis, lol. Jus couldn't sweep, so checked in wit mese goils!

    WaWa, wese miss u here!! Hope you are habbing an awesome time! Can't wait to see pics!

    Karen, you should know by now the answer around here when you ask if you can have another drink, lol! It's always ABSOFREAKINLUTELY!!!! lol. And btw, I go to get the testosterone/arimidex pellets this Friday! Woo Hoo! Counting the days! How do you like your new Dr.?

    Well, it is a stormy nasty day here. Gonna bail on church today. Puttin on my runnin shoes, and going to the gym. This is funny; Chrissy, so glad you saw the foil! Well, I think everytime ny of us see foil, we think of our Junie Angel, so I am reading a good book, and the other day it was getting pretty steamy, so finally, the guy produces the FOIL packet from his pants, hehehe. We all know what was in dere! I had to giggle, and dis was not a funny moment in the book! LOL

    Happy Sunday Funday goils! Titz Up! (at least one of mine, anyway!)

    Dofey, awesome news on all of your hard work, and you better not be playing a yoke on me. Altho when you posted, it was still March! Congrats on the extra likker moola and maybe some new curtains Money mouth? LOL at the Knee's Up party..............goodun. HEY, I AIN'T NO ROTTEN STINKING EGGHAYD EIDER Tongue out. I woyked ALL DAY, and will be doing so again today. Bought $1500 worth of seeds and soil amendments, need to get them up on the website. (did I already tail you all dat, if so, den I apologize, do not mean to repeat mysailf. But selling seeds is a very short season)

    Mema, I'm sure everything will work out fine wif all da poochies. Iz you afraid to fly? And when do you go home?

    Beans, I bet you made a wonderful care package for your neighbor. She is lucky to hab you as a naybor.

    Shannon, so happy to hear the goot newz on your furbaby, such a relief for you. Hope you can come back soon.

    Juliet, I'm wif you and your advice to Karen. Dwink it til it's gone!

    Chrissy, are you home now? Seems as though you are just pushing through this, like there is no tomorrow. I sure hope you feel as good as you sound.

    Cute finger pointing Bernie!

    I think Kathy is on her way home today, and won't be in da lounge to pway twicks on us, she is known foy dat, das foy shure. I found 2 April Fools Dwinks, but no pictures. I guess they are suppose to taste different than what  you expected. SO BOYS.............whoeber is left here, and not in OZ.....could you make us all one of each.....to start. And whoebber in OZ wif CB, you make hers some too.

    April Fools recipes from Cure Cocktail Bar mixologist James Ives

    Modern Roffignac

    1 oz. Camus Cognac

    1 oz. Gin

    .75 oz. Raspberry Syrup

    .75 oz. Lime

    Soda

    Combine all ingredients sans soda and shake well. Strain into an ice filled Collins glass and top with soda. Garnish with a raspberry.

    This drink looks one way, but the flavors offer a pleasant surprise. It looks pink and feminine, and though it is easy drinking it is also intensely flavored and complex, with a multitude of layers. The surprise is the harmony of the gin and cognac.

    Frangelico Cobbler

    1oz. Frangelico

    1 oz. Flor d Cana 7 year

    .5 oz. Black Tea Syrup

    .5 oz. Lemon

    float Angostura Bitters

    Combine all ingredients except Angostura and shake briefly. Strain over pebble or cracked ice in a cobbler tin. Float 5 dashes of Angostura over the top. Garnish with a slapped mint sprig and expressed orange peel.

    Rather than deceiving the visual senses this one relies on the contrast of smell and taste, utilizing aromatic components to trick the senses. When you smell it the drink is bright with citrus oils, aromatic bitters and fresh herbs, but when you sip it is rich, nutty and pleasantly balanced

    Happy april.....another gorgeous and way too hot day in Denver.....82 today....record breaker predicted....then tomorrow 48!!!!  

    Allison....I'm a little annoyed at the "BHRT" doc as she was supposed to call when labs came back but never did....I finally emailed her last week...and I see her this Thursday....last week sure would have been easier....its will be 6 weeks since our first visit...not sure what she will recommend....but I need to look into other things as welll as the testosterone is not the only think that I need but I need to do one thing at a time......Also need to go back on biophosphonates, so need to get a hold of my PCP.  What type of recon did you do?   I had 2 fixes after my exchange and the second one was putting smaller implants in....both those surgeries were similar to the exchange....I can tell you more if you want.....My DD#1 was born on Derby day.....

    Chrissy.....now you be a good patient...but so glad to see you posting

    Goldie....my St. has made a mess of the flower garden area...Mischa has been digging...so we have a LOT of work to do to build up the area and plant anything....plus major work on the yard in general....where grass used to be is just dirt, so DH thinks mulch will be good idea...not sure that he wants to do the manual labor, so we have a friend who does whatever he can to make a buck and going to talk to him.....the yard is just so pathetic....the drought doesn't help....and even the front yard needs work.....I should look at your website...but will probably be too late by the time I'm ready to use seeds.....

    Undy....great news on your fur baby

    Well....last night didn't pour another glass....had a headache and my stomach was bothering me.....so bloated...better today.....got to track what I eat to see what the culprits are.

    ITs just after 8 and I have a lot to do in the kitchen to get it ready for Passover.....clean the ovens is at the top of the list....so going to get off the computer and get busy....want to enjoy the outdoors today and  its the end of my spring break....see everyone later...

    Well Lori, I was habbing a hot flash, so the dip in the pool was great! And tank ewe for de cocktails, YUMMO! The pellets are every 90 days, but will only have to travel to Dayton the first time, will have them compounded here after that, and my good friend/Dr who does BHRT will insert them for me, and only charge me the cost of the pellets! Gotta love having a Dr friend!

    Karen, hope you get some answers this week. She probably was just waiting to go over the results with you in person, as they can be confusing, and hard to explain in a phone call. Thursday will be here before u know it! And cool your DD was born on Derby day!

    I keep saying I'm going to the Derby, but actually going to the Oaks, day before Derby. Have several girls going! Can't wait!

    Lori, don't work too hard!

    Karen, remind us again the day before your appt. so we can all go wif you for support. The seeds we sell are all vegetable seeds, and if you keep them in a cool dry place, they can last for YEARS. The government makes the seed companies put expiration dates on them. The fridge is a great place for them. As for the dogs, friends we vivited in Lake Havasu have 2 larger dogs, and put an area for them of the artificial grass, of course being in the dessert, the rest of the yard is basically rock.

    Sounds like a fun time Allison with your friends. We all need to go shopping for our Derby Hats, or Sombreros! I sure hope those pellets work, that would be such a huge thing for us ER+ PR+ girls, if proven safe.

    Speaking of hot flashes, ya all know my little buddy neighbor that comes up once in a while. Well, the last two times he was here and we went over there to visit, I take my folding fan, and he likes to play with it and I always tell him to keep a look out for some. Well, darned if he didn't find some and bought me 3 of them and sent them up with his dad! Just love that kid so much.

    Karen, I would love some of that warmer weather, send it to NJ.  Good luck in getting your ovens cleaned.  Hey, when is passover? And is there a particular dey that is Holy? De reason I ask is that I cover for one of my Jewish coworkers and want to take that day off too so I do not have to do her work. 

    Lisa, how are you doing luv? I sure miss you and hope you ain't down dat rabbit hole. If I see ya, I will dangle some carrots obber de hole and twy to get ya out.   Searisosly, dough, I hope you are feeling ok. I worry about you goilis

    Chrissy, how you feeling dear? I is still praying for quick healing. Are you home yet or in a rehab? Let me know cuz mese has to deliber you some dwinkies! What is yer pleasure?  Wodka? Wine? You name it and it will be dere in a *Flash*. (Flash will bwing it to you, I tink he is dere wif you???) Hugs to ya goil. I lub lub lub you muchliest! 

    Lori, best of luck with your seeds, I hope dat dey move fast.  If you want to email me something to promote dem, I would be happy to share on my FB. I have a lot of friends and perhaps could get you some business.  We are de Garden State and things grow so nice here. I would be happy to hails you and would not expect a cut! Lub you goil.

    Beanie, good Lord, I sure hope you have lots and lots of sunny days. Until den, I hope dat Stella will stay with you and bwing you sunshine ebberdey.  You is so nice to care so much about your neighbor. I liked de suggestion from Alli to invite her to dinner. It has to be berry berry sad not habbing family around or sumbody to love.  I am sorry that you are missing your Daddy, I can not imagine de pain nor do I want to.  I had a scare earlier dis week when my Dad called and left a message for me to call him. He nebber calls me, jest dials for my Mom. But he was just calling to say hello. I can't help but tink de worst whenebber de phone rings.

    Can't wait to have Katwinka back in de lounge, it has been quiet without her here. I was a wee bit lonely at de Knew knee partay yesterday and sad that de turnout was not as expected. B ut mese understand dat you goils are busy on de weekends and have less time. For Mese, I hab more time on weekends.

    Kymn, hope to seee you here more often too, miss your humor, you is berry funny when you bisit de lounge. Remember when we was widdle and used to sit next to each other and shoot de chit together?

    Missing NM but I know she is biddy taking good care of people. I tink she is most definately de lounges most valuable goil with her great knowledge in de medical world and I is so grateful dat God put her here for us. I miss her fun posts on de weekends too but accept de fact dat she must work.

    Mema, I hope to spend some time kicking back and getting sloshed with you soonliest. I hope your work dey goes fast and easy. I will dwink some fer ya until you can join me. And do me a fabor, keep dat car of yers away from mines, dat cat is a bad influence on mines.

    Allison, chit chit darn darn darn and son of a boob, so sorry dat your goils are mismatched. But I am glad you are getting dem fixed soonliest. You deserve a poyfect pair of foobs to match your poyfect self. You is so beautiful and I know you take great pride in your appearance. You always look so poyfect to mese and should be able to show off your new foobs and wear clothes that will show off dere purdyness. I hope it is an easy bix for ya hun. Please give your DD a hug from mese and one from Stella and tail her dat Stella wants to come and play some more soonliest. 

    Lori, foygot to tail you - so sweet of your little friend finding you some widdle fans. I know you adore him and I jest know he adores you. I would not mind one of dose widdle folding fans for meseself. I did buy a little electric fan for de office and it has been a tremendous help in keeping me comfy at work. 

    Speaking of work, I have only logged in dis weekend to view our commission portal. It is not yet finanalized but i am soo happy as I tink I made a pool of top processors. Ya see, our commissions are set up wtih three layers, one for base closings, another for service evals (I am at 100% will recommend) and anudder is a pool of de top 35%. I am ranked at 16 and dere are jest 17 of us in de pool. Dere is dis big pot of money dat is split up amonst de top 35% and I really taught that I would be outsted from dat but it does look like I made it. So in summary, I tink I am going to make de biggest check for dis month dan I have for a few years!!! I is so fugging habby about dat. And two deys off work has rejuvinated mese for anudder round of more fun. All de hard werk and long hours seemed to has paid off! And God knows I am so enjoying dis two dey break from work! 

    Well  I hab about written a book here, hope mese not boring you goils to sleep hehehe. if I see anybody dozing off, wese jest trow you in de pool - dat will wake yese up.  Cheers goils and happy happy sundey!!!!

    Bernie - LOL at the pooches in jackets and the one who forgot his snow chains!

    Chrissy - Yay, you doing good and got lotta foil! In case you knee-d some knee pads -tee hee!

    knee pads

    Juliet - I always funcused. About your films, though...so post radiation your film shows calcification. Did they biopsy to find the adh and pappilomas or is that what you are discussing wif your surgeon. I can see why dey would want to wait if you are only 5 months post radiation...I'm 1 year and 3 months post radiation and still PINK! But feels a lot better by now. My non-cancer boob had two lumpectomies and there was a lot of adh, but my MO did not recommend any more surgery for now. I will be praying for a good visit wif your doc Thurs!! Please keep us posted!!

    Goldie - I will tank Mrs V for da map, and tank U for posting, it awesome! LOVE the April Fools Cocktail! It is my DH's birthday, so funny, couldn't have been a more perfect day for dis fellow to be born. Anyway, love the dwinks, they look like they have fun surprises! I am hopin da seeds sell well, would love to see dem - tee heet!!

    Dofey - I know dis a lil late, but I wanna tell ya how much I loved your pics and posts for Chrissy yesterday, I did see dem and wif my neighbor prob was in a bit of a funk, but better now and what a fun buncha KNEE pics and cartoons...the trick knee was LMAO and the knees up party and the bones!! So funny!!

    MemaSue - Datz goot anudder goilie knows how to put on da chains! Always goot to be able to take care of oursefs and our cars! So stoopit we are just 2 miles that go up fast and it takes forever to get all the ice to melt...most of the rest of the state doesn't hab this problem, jest me! When I bought a 4x4 years ago the sales dude said if you need 4x4 with snow tires and chains you don't want to go there...well here I is! You were smart to stick to places that 4x and snow tires work.

    Kayfh - I guess I funcused agin, don't know what a soda stream is, but def can get dat it beats luggin boxes of soda water and daz goot it worked so well for chemo. I drank gallons of crystal light which now that I'm not on chemo can't figure out how I tolerated. YUCK! At the time though it was a goot way to get lotttttta fluids going thru, couldn't dwink any wine. Sucked.

    Juliet - My surgeon tod me that adh could develop into F'n C over 30 years and at the time I tot I was a gonner so said, I'll take the 30 years.

    Karen - so do tell, did you pour a 3rd in a rocks glass??? You sound so happy!!! Don't leave a sup!! Oh and do please remind us of your apt so we can go wif (and pinch butts - tee hee!)

    Unde - Yay, so glad Rumour has no rat bstssterd!!

You so pwetty and young so I am praying for eben boobs!

    knees

    Dofey - Wow about your Dad calling. It was weird when my Dad and I had our first lunch date. It was when my Mom was dx wif ovarian and she had always gone to lunch wif us but was the first time she didn't feel up to it. Goin wif my Dad alone...was way different, like our relationship was always wif Mom. I sure hope all is okay wif your Mom and Dad!! Stella is absolutely a dear too, she is pure sunshine and so much fun so hope she can stay a bit longer till we get my little neighbor down the hill.

    Katrinka - Just one question...that is your name isn't it? Or are you April foolin about that too? Just kidding. Miss you so much and will be glad to have you back sooon!

    Well, can't say I'm lookin forward to Monkey-day, but I sure hope ya'llz have a great week and don't forget to keep dem TITZ UP!! cHEERs!!

    A duck walks into a pub and orders a pint of beer and a ham sandwich.

    The barman looks at him and says,

    "Hang on! You're a duck."

    "I see your eyes are working," replies the duck.

    "And you can talk!" Exclaims the barman.

    "I see your ears are working, too," Says the duck.

    "Now if you don't mind, can I have my beer and my sandwich please?"

    "Certainly, sorry about that,"
    Says the barman as he pulls the duck's pint.

    "It's just we don't get many ducks in this pub.

    What are you doing round this way?"

    "I'm working on the building site across the road,"
    Explains the duck.

    "I'm a plasterer."

    The flabbergasted barman cannot believe the duck and wants
    to learn more, but takes the hint when the duck pulls out a newspaper from his bag and proceeds to read it.
    So, the duck reads his paper, drinks his beer, eats his sandwich, bids the barman good day and leaves.

    The same thing happens for two weeks...

    Then one day the circus comes to town.

    The ringmaster comes into the pub for a pint and the barman says to him
    "You're with the circus, aren't you?

    Well, I know this duck that could be just brilliant in your circus. He talks, drinks beer, eats sandwiches, reads the newspaper and everything!"

    "Sounds marvelous,"
    says the ringmaster, handing over his business card.

    "Get him to give me a call."

    So the next day when the duck comes into the pub the barman says,

    "Hey Mr. Duck, I reckon I can line you up with a top job, paying really good money."

    "I'm always looking for the next job,"
    Says the duck.

    "Where is it?"

    "At the circus,"
    Says the barman.

    "The circus?"
    Repeats the duck.

    "That's right,"
    Replies the barman.

    "The circus?"
    The duck asks again.
    with the big tent?"

    "Yeah," the barman replies.

    "With all the animals who live in cages, and performers who
    live in caravans?" says the duck.

    Of course," the barman replies.

    "And the tent has canvas sides and a big canvas roof with a hole in the middle?" persists the duck.

    "That's right!" says the barman.

    The duck shakes his head in amazement, and says ..


    "What the f**k would they want with a plasterer??!"

And a big ole Happy Boyfday to your DH, I sawry he not home foy you to sailabwate, but you can do dat dis weekend. I knows you miss him bunches, and I'm glad the snow is mailting.

    Good morning (yawn) Loungettes! Been a long, long, long, long ,long weekend of work. Put over 400 miles on the car. Got very little sleep. (yawn) Gonna try to catch up with the weekend's doings in the lounge.


    Chrissy--so happy to see you checking in! Yay for good drugs keeping you comfy!


    Juliet--you must be devastated to have lost your Epcot photos, but happy to have to make another trip!


    Karen--terrific bargain, 20% off $7.95! No woman in her right (or wrong) mind could pass that up!

    Beanie--Good for you putting the chains on by yourself! It is a wonderful thing when a woman discovers another strength or ability. You can never be trapped at home now, snow or no snow! Already 47 degrees here this am, gonna melt off what little is left of the snow, I hope. Want to get back in the garden.

    Pant, Jock, stock up the fukitol fountain and bring out the percotini fountain, Chrissy is in the Lounge!


    Juliet--sounds like you've got some radiation damage in that breast. It's not fair that the very treatment we take to rid ourselves of the beast also can cause the beast. . . .

    Goldie--Titanic in 3D? I'll have to see that. I never have see the original, I think I'll have to rent it someday. Love the Celebration cocktail, maybe that should be the official Lounge mixed drink?

    DorKable--Hooray for lots of closings and obber time! Obber time is always good!

    Mema--ADH is atypical ductal hyperplasia, which is a risk for bc. Pappilomas are small growths, sort of like polyps, that are usually benign. Sometimes I wonder just how "harmless" pappilomas really are, so many women I know with bc also have pappilomas. . .

    DorKable--sounds like you needed that little nap! Hope no one at work noticed!

    Undy! Great news for Rumour! Hooray!

    Bernie--LOL!

    Mrs. Vino--the nice thing about "getting fixed" surgery is you can take your time to research and plan for it. Makes it less scary. Don't blame you for wanting to be more symmetrical.

    DorKable--WTG, getting all those bonuses! Gonna be a great check for you!

    Juliet--GOOD FOR YOU GETTING THAT MAMMOGRAM REPORT! Proud of YOU!

    Princess Glitter Sizzle's DOTD is the Proud Woman
    1 oz Blue Curacao
    1 oz Light Rum
    1 oz Gin
    1 splash Lemon Juice
    (Fill to Top) Sprite

    Directions
    Pour blue curacao, rum and gin into an ice-filled highball glass. Blend briefly, fill with sprite and add a splash of lemon juice

    s this the way ALL men think? I'd like to hear your viewponts....

    We always hear 'the rules' from the female side. Now here are the Rules from the male side. These are our rules:-
    Please note.... these are all numbered '1' on purpose.
    1. Breasts are for looking at and that is why we do it. Don't try to change that.
    1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If its up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
    1. Saturday = Sports. Its like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
    1. Shopping is NOT a sport. and no, we are never going to think of it that way.
    1. Crying is blackmail.
    1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: subtle hints do not work! strong hints do not work! obvious hints do not work! Just say it!
    1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
    1. come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
    1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.
    1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.
    1. If you think you are fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.
    1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.
    1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
    1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during adverts.
    1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we.
    1. ALL men see in only 16 colours, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a colour. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what Mauve is.
    1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.
    1. If we ask what is wrong and you say 'nothing', we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
    1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.
    1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really.
    1. Don't ask us what we are thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics and Sex, Sport, or Cars.
    1. You have enough clothes.
    1. You have too many shoes.
    1. I am in shape. Round is a shape.
    1. Thank you for reading this; Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight, but did you know men really don't mind that, it's like camping.

    Bernie - WHERE IS WAHINE??? Great pic of da horses!

    Juliet - That's kinda what happened wif my non-cancer bweast, they did mammo biopsy takin just core samples and they didn't like that there was adh so that's when I had the two lumps taken out and even more adh but not cancer so keepin my finger crossed that tamoxifen keeps the cells from going cwazy with estrogen. Okay so I go wif you Thurs (no pinching?? boo hoo!) but then you hafta come wif me on Thurs afternoon...I go for routine pelvic and transvag US and blood draw for CA125 (screening for ovarian and to make sure tamoxifen is not messin wif my uterus. All fam hx stuff, weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!) Oh yes and we hafta go wif Mema too! Will be a bizzy day for the tenders and dwivers and pilots. My apt is at 1:00 pacific time. And yes, just one UFO & Bus Trip is all it takes for these girls to wipe out all the likker! Love your idea fo regular twips to see Chrissy!!

    Mema - what time is your apt? That is Thurs??

    Where else do we need to be on Thurs??

    See you all for happy hour!!
