Elizabeth ... I, too, get the wanting to be alone thing. Some people just have a need to cheer up others THEIR way, not necessarily what you NEED. They think if they get you out, go on a diet, ignore aches and pains or exercise you will feel ever so much better. Bull feathers!
Connie ...jus t when you think you are see the light at the end of the tunnell, you realize that light is another train. Just love you DD and GD ... which unfortunately is all you can control.
As for squirrels, I just love them. In fact I have been looking for a good but cheap set of binoculers so I can watch them in high definition!
BTW ... this shot particularly reminds me of the time I had a chinchilla (which look a lot like squirrels) who, when let out of his cage would climb up on a very expensive dollhouse which I thought was so cute. Little did I know he was chewing the roof!

The squirrels are black in Canada as we don't have enough sun to bleach out their fur. Honest..
I've seen a black squirrel with a red tail. It was spectacular! We knew SOMEONE was fooling around...hehehehhehe. We have brown squirrels too..did anyone mention brown?

Yep, we'll just cozy up and I swear, last night, dh was talking about this and that "while the baby is here". HE'S excited about it.
K - Love the bulldogs.. but then I am a BIG UGA fan and the mascot, Uga, well when I was a teen, his family lived right around the corner when they got the first dog in the 60's. The same family has owned the bulldog mascot for decades. It's pretty cool. They breed them and try to get one that's all white. The last one had a brown patch on his back, so we always saw him wearing a red sweater. He passed this last football season, before the season was over and they have the others, 6 now, buried in the end zone. little georgia history there.
It's going to be 70 degrees today. shorts weather!!~!

I have a very embarassing problem. I have a little rubbing in the fold of skin due to having been fatter and losing weight. Saggy spare tire and where the skin meets underneath is sore.... I try talc to keep it dry and pain free during the day. I am afraid it will become infected and therefore a big problem. But it is in such an embarassing spot I dont wanna show it to the nurse or even my hubby.

Dream, I have that same problem and sent you a pm to tell you what I do for that.

Dream -- try cornstarch.

Also, try an antifungal cream ... I got the same problem and that's what the hospital used.
As for the sagging skin, I figure first I have to win a large lottery and second find a PS to do a whole body lift!
Temperatures here are going into the sixties or seventy ... break out the swimsuits everyone!
Connie ... love those little smushed in faces! I am a sucker for them everytime.

As yes, soon to be the season of heat rash on the inner thighs. At least I hear applause everywhere I go!

What I told dream in a pm, I have used the anitfungal cream like Kathleen mentioned but have found that witch hazel dabbed on with a cotton ball has worked wonders for me to clear up a slight skin infection in the folds of skin. I apply it at least once a day. I too need a whole body lift

LOL...you guys were on a roll today!
Sessna, you crack me up! That was funny!
Kathleen - I love the squirrel and the dog pic!
Dream - I haven't had that problem...but I sure know what Elizabeth is talking about
Barbe - re: Fooling around, isn't that all squirrels do, besides hide their nuts? I never see them do anything but chase each other...and hide things.
Lvtwo - is that a new pic? IS that you? it's awesome!
Connie - I think that sounds like a lovely plan, I'm glad DH is on board...here's hoping baby daddy won't decide to make a show of it now that he's put this whole thing in motion.
BooBee - maybe we can do a 2x4 AND shovel brigade :P
I'm waiting to find out if my insurance is going to approve my surgery. If it's a go I could get this clunker fixed in the next few weeks - woohoo! It's only been 5 years **sigh**
Peace to all and to all a good night, I must get to bed early tonight, I have a big day tomorrow submitting my package for my new job ...LOL - if you want it you have to claim it!!

Navy, thanks for the compliment, it is me. My sister and I made the costume with satin/crystalette left over from some bridesmaids gowns she made. I put that picture up last October after the Halloween costume contest at work. If you can't tell I was a harem girl/belly dancer (with my belly covered). I was told to strike a pose for the shot and all I could think of was a dancing pose. I came in 2nd for the 3rd yr in a row. This year I was beat by the 'ghostly bride', the two previous years I was beat by a guy from the warehouse dressed totally in-appropriate (baby in a diaper, and ballet dancer in a pink tutu).

Navy, when the squirrels are hiding their nuts is WHEN they are fooling around!
So let me get this straight. Your DOCTOR says you need surgery, but it's your INSURANCE company that decides if your doctor really knows what he is doing? How do you guys stand that! I would go mental!
Here, our system listens to our doctors, not the insurance company! People think we're government run, but the government is smart enough to know that the highly trained doctors must know more than they do! So they delegate...doctor said so? Okay, do it! 0 -
love the bulldogs! Had one when i was younger. My goal now is to out live hubby and then get another (both snort, drool, snore and pass gas sonot much difference

My insurance company is run by idiots!
The latest is a questionnaire from another company that Aetna hired to make sure their "customers" don't have other insurance that should be paying.
Sample: "Do you have Medicare?" My DOB is all over every insurance and medical record!
Next question: "Are you still working?" Just a box for yes and a box for no, no room for "seasonal three days per week for 10 weeks"--my lord, if my job would let me buy into their coverage, I'd work for free!
I know I should be thankful I have any insurance at all but sometimes I think I spent more time on insurance issues than getting treatment!
Thanks for the chance to vent.

Day.....vent away...that's what we're here for. You crack me up.
I have the same issue with chaffing between the legs in the summer. I use Vaseline. Things were really bad before I had bladder suspension. This conversation makes me feel soooooo sexy. The sacrifices we make for our children.

I saw a boy squirrel up close and their nuts are huge!!! It's amazing how they scurry around with those things! Geesh!

What are the rules for posting pics of a nasty looking radiated breast reduction? If I block the nip can I post it? This would be my rant for the YEAR.

Holy cow Elizabeth!!!! I never thought to look at that end of a squirrel. When I fill the feeder up tomorrow I'll have to hide behind it (with my glasses on) and take a peek.
........ I just love you.0 -

OMG, Kevin has quite a package there..............

That pic is ..um... enhanced. When we were young teens, brother was cutting the grass and spotted a weird pink thing.. it was a newborn male squirrel. Being a family that celebrated all kinds of critters, Dad built a cage about the size of a small TV, Peanut out grew that within weeks. So, Dad took a big piece of half inch cage wire, tied the ends together, fashioned a wire ceiling, built a wood base to fit and hung a swing from the top. No 'door', A nice sized tree branch stood up in this cage, it was at least 4 ft tall and sat upon a work table in the all purpose room. Raising Peanut was a 24/7 watch, we fed him a formula mom got from the vet using doll baby bottles and he took to it. He started out eyes and ears closed, no fur. Peanut was pink all over with what looked like a rat tail. We kept him in a flannel lined shoe box with vent holes all around. It sat at the foot of the refrigerator where the warm air vented. When Mom was cooking the box moved to the top of the TV.
One day, after school, several of my friends were hanging out. By now, Peanuts box was a fixture to us. so we kids were watching something creepy on TV like Dark Shadows, and all of a sudden one of the guys, Doug, started to freak out, kind of squeeling, moving backwards climbing up onto his chair, Eyeballs popping out, barely able to speak, we thought he was having a convulsion or some other weird malady so we screamed for mom. Mom came running in the room and tried to calm him and all he could do was point and say, WHAT, WHAT.. IS THAT?? . . . IT was a young baby squirrels front paw, dark gray with rather skeletal looking with claw, pawing his way out of the shoebox top. He was pushing the top open and pawing out of it. Or clawing out of the top, randomly scratching the side of the box. We laughed and laughed, and I still think Doug peed his pants with pure fear.
After we introduced them, everybody was fascinated. We handled the baby squirrel with confidence and played with him every day. Definately a male. There is no such package, I promise.
We raised Peanut until the next spring, when as we had all agreed that if he survived we would set him free, so, we had a ceremony, sending our little Peanut off into the world. We put his food in a tree hollow during spring and by summer, he had a girlfriend and would bring her to visit. The visits went on thru the fall that year. Peanut became a daddy and they went up into the canopy to live squirrel lives.

Connie, what a great story. Releasing rescued animals back to their environment is one of the best feelings ever.
Now ladies, if you want to know about animal packages, nothing compares to the adult male opossum. When threatened, the male can retract his penis and one testicle into his body cavity protecting his ability to procreate even if the worst happens to his other testicle. That's talent!

You guys are FREAKING CRACKING ME UP!!!!!!!!!
I miss y'all so much. I'm cheating on the work computer right now. Just popped in to try to catch up, and knew I would get a much needed laugh. Thank you!
I'll have a new laptop next week come hell or high water.
Hugs to everybody who needs it, and a huge that SUCKS!! to everyone who needs that!

WOW...this conversation went quickly down hill! I'm not even going to ask how notself knows this about opossum's!!!
Cracking up indeed! I will never get that image of Kevin out of my mind! KMC...ur too funny calling him that
I don't know how guys stand it, especially in the summer time! But talking about nuts is one thing, talking about sweaty nuts is totally, completely, beyond necessary
LOL..

okay now....who brought up "sweaty"????
0 -
Yeah navygirl.... you are the one to bring up sweaty.... whats on your mind??????
0 -
notself- ha ha ha ha ha! Oh, I have new respect for the opossum. I think... ha ha ha ha ha! Save the family store. Battle station! (ha ha hee hee hee snort hee hee snort...)
Connie07 - I had a light bulb (40 watt) go off in my head. Your sister doesn't want that responsibility under her roof. She believes it will be too much for her to handle. Some people can't handle much.
navygirl- We'd have to eat the appetizers and peanuts and fall off the stools in food stupor during happy hour. I'll take some mean Shirley Temples. I don't drink.
I get my humor genetically.Connie07, I hope that someone sits your children down and tells them that their mother is making great sacrifices for them; it is evidence of great and enduring love.
Konakat's pizzafriendgirl is due for an Internet blanket party... Okay, we'll just shortsheet her bunk. We'll be nice...
Wait - an e-mail to tell you she's lookin' forward to pizza? Pick up the phone, psuedopizzafriendgirl. Sigh. Make the connection. Yeah PatMom! What PatMom said. But, Liz, did the psuedopizzafriend girl even offer to bring over a pizza and be a buddy?
barbe1958, "People's helpful suggestions." Yeah, put them in this jar. Thank you.
navygirl, you all but got me to the 'four letter words I don't say,' stage. Bone marrow biopsy... left unscheduled... 3.3 anything is too much of undetermined unusual stuff present on medical films.
I! (Stay on Connie07 and Liz's good side.)
dutchgirl6 - How was the Oscar party? I think that you need to be truer and kinder to you. Don't try to make a lot of others happy at a high cost when you're emotinally struggling, you'll mess up your strength.
BooBee... slower than your slow grandmother, but she's dead? Your delivery is wonderful. I used to think every 5th day or so, "I'm just gonna lose my hair again anyway." Now, I condition my hair and enjoy it. I get tired I take naps. I work with my nausea. I ride my stationery bicycle. I do what I can and don't beat myself up so often.
barbe1958, you just hold on there, Pilgrim. [Bad John Wayne impersonation by sessna1] We all don't have the form and grace that you do. Linda (and the rest of us) need 2 weeks at "barbe1958'sright camp" to get the vibe correct.
kmccraw, foobies! ha ha ha ha ha ha! Now, I have to tell you, I met a petite lady with a mastectomy who told me in confidence that she wasn't going to get a prosthetic or expanders and reconstruction. Her chest was flat under her sweat suit top on one side. I thought, "but your clothing won't fit right." I said nothing because I thought, "I don't know you that well, but this is a personal decision. I'll respect yours."
Squirrels, they call the 'red one' orange, I think. http://www.extension.org/pages/Tree_Squirrels

Shiny ... I always enjoy your posts; especially your sign-off.
I want to go to Camp Barbe1958!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Connie ... when I first saw this picture I thought it was photoshopped but then when everyone was talking about male squirrels I thought it must be unaltered. FYI, if male squirrels have this package then I only have ever seen female squirrels! It was a great story.
Why are you humans so darn interested in our private parts?
