Hey H&S, we will wrap you in cotton and make sure you are waited on like the queen you are!! But I know how it feels to feel like so sick beyond words and ya just want you own comfy bed. Still, If you can manage, talk to your doc and get your Georgia Behind up here gal!! We do good chicken soup and plenty of health care if you do get ill-no wait at the hospital here on the OBX-we just get ya right in if you get dehydrated or ill. Lisa, thank you so much for the lessons-i love the photographer lingo "push the green thingy' (huh?) to make a collage. I mean how simple and like I take time to read the directions to anything-NOT! H&S-So sorry about "ittyBitty" not being ittyBitty. Big tears for lost kitties. Slept like a log last night for once and still not awake. Us AA gals are headed to Ocracoke on Wednesday for the 'AA Jamboree" and we are so excited!! And i am so disorganized-i have not even begun tolook for my winter socks and have no idea where they are hiding! I am going to try to catch a boat and get out fishing for king mackerel!! And crikey the weather has turned cold here!! Short note this morning-love to all, SV

Marybe....If you have Picassa, select a picture you want to upload, then at the bottom left, click the little "green arrows"...That will "hold" that picture...Then select another one, & do the same thing. You have to "hold" each picture before you click "upload"....Then you can "name" your album! Next, you click "upload"...All the pictures you select will go into your online album! Once there, you can view, "edit" to show captions if you want, then you can "share" with any email you want. When you want to post a picture on here, click it again, which will enlarge it, then right click & "copy"...then start your post on here, & when you want to R. click & hit "paste"
This works with about any picture you want, if it is on the internet! It won't work unless you upload your pics to an album...So select a lot that you like, & they will stay there in your own album forever!
Let me know if this works!
This is the Owl family that's been all over the Internet...Live streaming! "Molly" has had 2 clutches ....This pic is from the first, & the 4 little babies finally "fledged" & left their "home!" Did any of you watch this? McGee is the "Dad" & I became addicted to watching this little family hatch, grow, then fledge! They were in San Marcos Ca.

Oh CB, they are so cute!!

Molly and McGee, I watched them alot. I love Molly and McGee.
Such good parents and I recall being so worried when McGee would be out hunting and not return as soon as we thought he should.
The best of the internet.

Oh my God I know! I was always worried too, ha! I turned them on first thing in the mornings, & then sometimes during the day! I downloaded their songs! I so enjoyed "peeking" at nature right before our eyes! I wonder if Molly is coming back for a third clutch! I got a kick of McGee "bonding" with her, as she was just TRYING to lay on her eggs! And the "care" she showed her "owlets"....She was better than a lot of women with their kids!
I took a lot of pictures off of my computer! Did you see that tape of "Wesley, wake up!" SOOOOoooooooo sweet! Oh well, Okay..... I just miss them! 0 -
Marybe - I loved the turtle story! And I know that's a good point - my son keeps saying Itty Bit will just show up when we least expect it. Finding a cat in a neighborhood with woods is like finding a needle in a haystack. Even when they're not lost, you can be calling them and they're just sitting in the woods looking at you.
SV - OBX sounds like a great place to be sick, if you have to be sick! I want to go so bad, it's been too long since I've been fishing and I've never seen wild horses on the beach! So I'm trying to build up my immune system. I've been reading up on how to boost my white blood cells - did you know zinc is important? It increases the production of WBC and has been shown to slow the growth of cancer. Why don't the doctors tell us any of this stuff? Crap, maybe if we knew this in the first place...
CB - I totally missed out on the owl family! I've watched the eagles in Virginia, and the pandas in Atlanta, but I missed the owls. You're right, Ginger - things like this are the best of the internet!

OK, for any of you folks who want to join us on the Outer Banks, here is the house we are getting. It had 6 bedrooms, a fireplace and a hottub (and a movie theatre and a foosball and air hockey table) . We plan to arrive on Friday 12/3 and leave Monday AM 12/6. Closest airport is Raleigh and it is a 2-1/2 to 3 hour drive to Duck. GD's train gets in around 5. I'm getting a car/van at the airport and will pickup whomever then off to the train then on to the beach. GD's train is out at 9 so we will be leaving early Mon. Just PM me with your info.

Im jealous, I wanna come. 0 -
I am still in chemo or I would love to be included. I hope you all have the best time ever telling stories, sharing secrets, maybe knitting, and most of all laughing! Take some photos for us all so we can pretend we were there too. I have never seen the Atlantic and the Outer Banks sound fascinating. Are those sand dunes that the horses are pictured on? I love those horses, I even have a barn where we are renting but no animals beyond a 14 pound dog!
GInger feeling a bit better today.

Aw girls, we will have you with us in spirit and I am bringing the old laptop so will be posting pix of our exploits. Big hugs to all of you, 3Jays, Lisa, Bobby, Ginger, Rae, HnS, Jackie and dear Marybe and eveyone! I may do something I have been threatening to do, since I am a techno-geek. I'm thinking about a webcam of us sitting around the fire doing our hen fest. Now if some of you have webcams, we can have a 2-3-4-5 way hen fest! I can setup the website to go to then BAM we are hanging by the fire gabbing! let me get the tech stuff down and if you are interested PM me.

Wow, what a gorgeous beach house! I too wish I could come but grandson's being baptized 12-5 and can't miss that! Since he'll be 18 months old, it should be interesting to say the least.
Anyhow, I'm so looking forward to the accounts of your adventures with SV on her home turf and tons and TONS of photos!

AWWWW-Gnger-I'd love to have her then be able to give her back to MUM. Beyond Cute1 And yes, these are wild horses that live in the sand dunes in Corolla. They run wild like the ponies of Chicoteague and Asseteague. They used to come down to our house when the road ended there but no more as it is so built up. They still live up in four wheel country which is only about ten miles from here. Google "Corolla Wild Horses" and you all can get a history. I lived with these animals for about five years, shooting pix for a coffee table book-then i was hit with cancer. There are about five herds run by five stallions right now and they live like any wild animal. In fact, they cannot eat anything 'horsey like" like apples and carrots cause they cannot digest it. They are generations (like 400 years) of learning to adapt to salt water environment. I SO wish that all of you would just drop everything and come on out!!! We will miss you all very much and take tons of pix. The house is a mansion really and one can have a vacation without even leaving it or going outside! Ocean is right across the lane! So, if you can arrange it, come on out fo rthe first reunion!! XXOO, SV

Morning girls! How FUN! It sounds like so much fun to be altogether like that! Wish I could join you all...Wish DH could be left alone for awhile, also! I honestly think that between growing older, & the drinking, he just doesn't have any desire to anything anymore. Yes, I know about alcohol being a depressant....And I know it makes him more dependant on me every day, but I'm in it for the long haul. I can't do anything about it now....I tried once....But I guess we are just here for each other. We always find something to do, and it's always together....guess I'm lucky for that, right?
The beach house LOOKS like a mansion! Yes, for sure, take lots of pictures! I'll be thinking of all of you....SV...you are such a great hostess! You will just make everything fun, I know! Just don't go driving too close to the drop-offs looking for those wild horses!
Or take Dave along with you! SOMEone has to chaperone you gals! Or maybe not! Ginger, what a cute little muffin! And she is all yours, just to play with & love for the rest of your life!
Going for my 1 year mammogram today, then next week for the last appt. with the Radiologist, THEN I see the Oncologist, & then I'll bet I am DONE for another year!
Okay gals....How fun to plan on your "dream trip!" Talk to you later! xoxoxoxo

CB - Good thoughts and sincere prayers coming your way for the mammo. Gentle hugs, my friend.

Good wishes for your mammo, CB!
I'm now scheduled for a couple big-time heart scans -- "just to be sure" that the rads didn't affect it.
