    Good morning, Loungettes! Not much going on here, and going to keep it that way. Hoping I can get the rototiller started today so I can finish opening up the garden. State tax refund came in, and that's my garden money for this season. Want to take a trip to my favorite nursery and spend some money, but need the garden ready to go when I get back! Well, I got it going once, I'm sure I'll get it going again.


    Juliet--LOVE the use of duct tape!


    Wahine--I'm going to give the supers a little bit of time (about 2 weeks, max) to see what they come up with. My little crying episode, and saying I can't handle the work load anymore seems to have set the cat among the pigeons--there was a meeting cancelled and all kinds of closed office door meetings and phone calls after I got done, so there may be some movement cooking. I know the admin I talked to Sunday thinks I'm a workhorse, and doesn't want to lose me, and with 2 other nurses resigning recently one more nurse leaving is going to create a staffing crisis. BUT--and mine's a big butt-- I will not put up with promises without solid time frames. I know that trick. I've started looking at the open jobs in the area already. But hey, enough of this nonsense, lets DWINK!!!! Hooray for you feeling better!

    Mrs. Vino--don't you just love those work days that go on forever?

    Mema--my sanity has been in question for a long time, my dear, I guess I'm just ketcuping to the fact! I've heard the WD 40 and Duct tape move/doesn't move line before, and it's a good one! Hooray for DH's test results!!!


    Juliet--yes, some of that 25 hour time was call time (about 7 hours of it, if I remember right). I am definitely going to get some overtime again this week. I only need 9 hours to make my 32 hours, and another 8 after that until I hit 40 hours. I'll work at least 12 hours Saturday, probably some hours on Friday night. I think I'm going to make sure I get at least one hour of OT just to make a point. If I get expensive enough they'll move me sooner!

    Mrs. Vino--I'm going on the Partay UFO! I can come help load it up. I wants to make sure there is lots and lots of Wild Turkey American Honey!

    Scuby--I am so glad you are getting a diving vacay! Can't wait to see the pics!!

    Husker--having your bill paid was too cool! What a great way to start your morning. And to think that you shared the great feelings with the car behind you!

    Chrissy--poor Chrissy, she shakes, rattles and rolls just like my old car. Seems like it would make more sense to try to figure out which med you are reacting to and stop it! Ah, well, that's medicine these days, keep adding pills and wonder why people don't' eat food. Hoping you get home soonliest!!


    Princess Glitter Sizzle's DOTD: the Before the Scan Relaxer
    1 shot Vodka
    1 shot Coconut Rum
    1 shot Peach Schnapps
    Cranberry Juice
    Pineapple Juice

    Directions
    Combine peach schnapps, vodka and malibu rum in a cocktail glass. Almost fill with pineapple juice, add a splash of cranberry juice, and serve

    NM, bummer about the long weekend, and the loss of two lives. I hope it wasn't too devastating, and just natural causes from getting old. I must admit, I still chuckle too about your hammock incident. Too bad you were the only one to witness it! And good luck on the job front, sorry they aren't/can't work with you and the hours. The plant protectors DO work that well. A friend of mine from the cancer center I went to, just had me send 10 to a friend of hers, as a wedding gift! Work Sucks! But that drink looks very very GOOD. So does "Before the Scan". Have fun at the nursery, and hope you get the tiller going.

    LOL @ the turlet Juliet. But I must say, I don't have that problem with my DH, he always puts the seat and the lid down.

    Kathy, great news on the vertigo, I hope it stays away and you can continue to drink with us. I don't do any packing either for are trips, just want to make we have plenty of likker.

    Mema, love your take on the duct tape and WD-40! Sure wish you could get your internet up to speed (pun intended)! Can you change providers? Glad DH results were all CLEAN (pun intended)

    YAY Scuby, you gits to go diving!!!! Yeeee Haaaaaa! We are all excited for you and I will be more than happy to post pictures for you. Have a super super time.........when will you be bock?

    Husker, interesting about Starbucks passing the buck! (another pun intended, boy I'm on a roll)

    Darn Chrissy, sure hope they figure out where the allergy is coming from and that you can fly the coop on Frieday. At least you can escape for a bit today to Florida.

    DorK, I declare.............dis is not allowed! For you to stay away because of work. Now if it were Stella, we could understand. But wese thinks iss work.

    Juliet, hoping all goes good today and doesn't hurt too bad and that they can remove all that needs to be removed and no bad results. Would you like a Tender to take home for the day? Which one?

    Gud Morgen, girlzzzzz!

    I'm with Juliet...why not have de UFO take us to Grand Cayman so we can "visit" Scoobs? That is, after we are sure Juliet was well taken care of today, and she can come too! ScoobyDoo, can you jest picture us all teeny tiny and wid our teeny tiny scuba gear on? Wese will jest hang on to your gear....jest picture all us little things all over your tank, etc. BUT if wese sees a shark or sumtin scary, I get first dibs on any pocket to hide in!! (Of course, I will twy to make room for any udder scared loungettes). Maybe dat pressure under de water will help mese ears. STILL dizzy, darn it...was really bad during the night. Might have to get back on dose pillz and skip de likker. :(

    Chrissy, youse is sooooo funnnneeeee! Can just hear you rattlin wid all dem pills in youse. We'll let you provide de mewsic todey, ok? Glad you finally have a going-home day coming soon.

    NM, You are soooo funneee wid yer cartoonies. Lubs de one wid the words on de girlz pants...guess I will be de big one! All were funneee though. HOPING you can get that darn roto-tiller working and can get some good stuff planted toodey. Also hoping those "in power" will get you on a good schedule, STAT!

    Lori, My DH "usually" puts the seat/lid down, but there sumtimes are times he foigets....I weally cwacked up too, over Juliet's use for da duct tape. Still a bit dizzy, darn it.

    Oooohhhhhh Juliet youse habs sum nice loookin doctors!!! Oh yeah, wese iz posed ta be gud, right? OK, wese keeps our hands to ourselves and will TWY not to pinch de doctors cute heiny's. So far, you are getting verrrry gud care!

    Dorkie, Beansie, Kymnie, HunkyD, Unde, Gail......(and anyone I missed)....hoping you all are habbing a good day, and hoping youse can post berrrrry soonliest! Alli, soooo gwad dat da "hunk" is still on DWTS!

    Well, this is right up our alley (not to be funcused with "our  Alli").....for Dorkster, me, and enny1 else who likes to dwink Jack Daniels, in case we don't know what the heck we are doing, there is now a SCHOOL!!!!! Go figure. Anyway, here is de info....

    Get Some Libation Education
    Jack & Zac have a lot in common. We both put a high premium on friendship, loyalty, craftsmanship, and responsibility. That's why we've teamed up to start a "drinking school" and it's not what you think it is. If you're wondering what's a drinking school? Well, it's a place to do a little thinking about drinking. And to keep it upbeat, Zac Brown Band is helping us out.

    If you're ready to enroll, visit http://clicks.jackdaniels.com/r/J0ET9S/TLJRV/PRHPN8/ZAIV7/UHQ6V/VB/h, watch one of our videos featuring Zac Brown Band to earn a JD Drinking School badge and to learn how to score a certificate for a free BeMyDD ride to and from a Zac Brown Band concert for you and up to three friends.* Or sign up to be a designated driver yourself.

    *Class space is limited. There are a limited number of free certificates for a BeMyDD ride available during a select number of Zac Brown Band tour stops. So sign up now!

    Goldie--both hospice patients were 80 or older, both had cancer.  Both death expected, just not expected to be this last weekend.  Death is a lot like birth that way--it happens when it happens and there ain't much that we can do to change the schedule!  One family thanked me by name in the obituary, a very touching thing for a family that just met on Saturday to do.  I'm not giving up on making a move off weekends soon, I'm just giving them a little time to work on it.  Tomorrow I plan to ask if they have a time line, and let them know mine.  I expect the two will be rather different. but if I give a time line and tell them I'm looking to meet it here or somewhere else they may be motivated to move a bit faster.  I took a look inside the plant protectors and my veggies and lettuce are looking GREAT!  If I can just get the tiller going and finish prepping the garden I can make my nursery run and get some more stuff in and some more protectors going. 

    Wahine--I'm with you, lets take the UFO diving!  I love being in/on/around the water, don't get anywhere near enough of it anymore.  I'm scared of sharks, too, but fascinated as well.  Bad combo, I forget to breathe when I see them!  

     I've got to check out the JD drinking school!  

    Got my first badge! 

    And it's fun, too! 

    and know I know how to protect all my HTL friends! 

    It's a cute site, check it out!

    Oh Bernie, They just don't "get it". Thats why forums such as this one are so important. WE "get it", but I just don't know about our some of our other  friends and family. So sorry she has upset you so much. I wish she realized that it isn't ever "over", but a constant worry. Here are some BIG hugs (((((Bernie)))))....wish I could give you a real hug in person, though. Just vent here, cuz we all understand. Would be nice if your DH, or someone else close to you could have a little private chat with her and "clue her in" on the realities of cancer. Hoping she didn't realize what she was saying, and how it would affect you. I am sure she loves you deeply, she's just.....clueless. Pants, pronto, puleez bwing our dear Bernie a BIG glass (well heck, bring her a bottle) of her favorite wine, ok? Hope you'll be feeling better soon, and she realizes how this really affects all of us.

    Juliet, Yup, I already see a BIG bottle of JD sitting at the end of the bar, with "Kapu" and your name on it! IT is gonna be dere waiting till you can dwink it. Hope your throat will feel better soonliest. Glad things looked good, though!

    Dang, just read the sad news. I know he was old and had problems, but still....Dick Clark was a legend. No one can really do what he did. I even liked seeing him, even for just a bit, at the New Years ball drop at Times Sq. Prayers going out to his family and loved ones. He will surely be missed.

    Hugs to all of you. Got home an hr ago, but leaving soon for a dinner with my DD...for Girl Scouts 100th birthday. While I was a leader, we had the 75th celebration. She was hoping my mom would come too, since she was a leader also. But she is tired....she and I painted this afternoon but our hearts weren't in it, so I came home verrrrrry tired. Think tonight will be fun though..I still have the photo album when I was leader...our troop got many awards, so it means a lot Also have a pic from the paper when I was a scout at 9 yrs old (in brownie uniform), as well as a pic of my youngest DD at the same age, when she was in the paper in her brownie uniform!

    On my honor, I will try:
    To serve God and my country...........

    Hey Mema,  I herd you call mese, here I am. And yippee for Jack School, de rest of de goils need educapation on de art of dwinking jack. Funny ting, I used to used to say Jack n Zac were my two bffs. But my zac meant prozac. Me took dat for many years before de beast came along, had to gib up one of my bff's since de zac interfered with de tamoxifin.  Ennywey, I miss you goils too. Been berry busy at work again, seems de end of month has already arrived. Next week is de big week so mese has much werk to do. I can't wait til I out of work agen and can hang here all dey long ebberyday.

    NM, how special for you to get your name in your patient's obit. You must have left a very good impression to have been mentioned after jest one meeting. Doing your job takes a very special person and you are that person! I know I could not deal with what you have to go through.  And I sure hope your tiller started for you. I hate when my gas tools don't fire up for me when I get in the mood to use them. 

    Kitty, so berry nice to see you. I wish you would stop by more like you did when we were all widdle. Hope life is treating you well.

    Juliet, feel better soonliest. I tink your throat will feel fine by tomorrow. Do stay away from hard food, I bremember eating pretzels after my soygery and dey hoyt my throat more. 

    Chrissy, sorriest you still in de hospital. I tink Mema worked on gitting you outta dere asap'liest! I am praying for you my dear fwend ♥

    Scuby, mese ferciting for you too! I hope de dive is all you expect and den some. Please don't make us wait long for photos, I am cited about seeing dem alweddy!
