I think so many of us are too hard on ourselves for what we didn’t accomplish or what we should have done. The first step is to forgive yourself for all the things you didn’t do that you should have and all the things that you did do that you shouldn’t have. Get rid of the guilt. Negative feelings don’t do you much good. The way to deal with them is to forgive yourself and forgive others.
Forgiveness helps you come to terms with the past. I've learned how to forgive myself, and this has helped me no longer feel deep regrets or sadness about my past.

Oh Mimi -- you just found out that there aren't TRUE coincidences -- just times in life that seem so. Like a well orchestrated dance --- with everyone keeping proper time, things happen as designed.
Why -- just because. Because we are here developing aspects of our souls and though that is an extremely important item, nothing truly has to be so difficult or even somber. We have in fact, so much help while we are here -- mostly un-seen, but those really in touch with their spirit feel it, sense it, use it, and generally find comfort when the going is rough and great and peaceful joy when the path is free of rocks ( problems ).
It is a real delight to me when I SEE ( not as much as I'd like too ) the Universe at work in that well orchestrated dance.
Anyway -- moving abit away from almost my favorite subject, cool again today. You can sure tell ( though we will warm again for a little while ) that Fall is stepping in the door for a visit. We even discussed turning on the I-heater -- too early for the furnace, but didn't do it. My big regret with the temps. as they are is that it is a bit cool to have the doors open.
Got to thinking about the changes -- boobs getting smaller, hips and thighs sometimes larger. Sigh !!!! You never seem to recognize the good old days so well as the ones that have gotten pretty far past you. I still recall ( and it happened a lot ) feeling that I'd always be quite skinny etc. Boy, did I put that one to rest, but I really believed it for such a long time --- and I believed for such a long time that I would always be happy. That one didn't quite bear all the fruit I expected either.
My reality ( forced in a way ) is that I'm really ok with it all. I've work to do in lots of areas, but each line, wrinkle, problem solved, or if not --- good understanding and peace about it, is just the trip through life that I'm on and one way or the other its all good.
Had to get up and put my white dog, Poncho in the pen. Neighbors to the left came last night late. After we feed the dogs in the morning -- they go running over there as those people like dogs.....and my dogs WANT to see their friends. Poncho I bet makes a pest of himself -- he routinely comes home late. So had to get him and get him back with Chico who returned sooner.
So glad it is Saturday, though I don't have a good reason actually -- just that I worked last night and so I have a three day stint with no work now save for my own. Hope you all have a stunning day.
Blessings

Good morning....I am finding it more and more difficult to keep up with BCO during my work week. I live for week ends.....
Jackie, today's quote is so important ... it's about being present once again....not to waste time with the things we cannot go back to, and to focus on today's tasks and opportunities so that we don't miss the gifts and beauty of today. In reality, we have all had days we wished would end quickly so we could get to a new beginning. A new morning can help change the focus.Being so close to NY I was affected by the events that took place on 9/11/01. My DD was married 3 years later on 9/11/2004. My DD reminded me that I should look to the joy of that date instead of the unthinkable memories. It really helped when she called me out on that. This year, DD and DH are separating - her 10th anniversary. Needless to say, I did go back to a dark place but I don't stay there. There are a limited number of dates in a year and days in our lives. We must try not to get stuck in the past, to live for today and entertain hopes and dreams for tomorrow.

I can relate to the changing breasts after lumpectomy - but I am still mostly "normal" in appearance. I did notice, as Jackie said, an indentation above the surgical area and some dimpling. I gained back a few pounds so right now it's pretty "filled out" and symmetrical. I would welcome the surgical help for dramatic differences that wouldn't be covered by a bra. Looking good is important and relative to our expectations.
Sandy, my class size is remaining at 11. It was going to be cancelled but gained a few students the last few days. I am not sure I like this small size. I prefer 13-15 as the interaction is better. Max is 24 students in a science lab class - much better at community college then the 250 student lecture halls at Stony Brook U up the street. There's no reason to fail in my class unless they don't come.
I think I have to get more creative so they interact more and I talk a lot less. (me? talk less?)Chevy, I totally relate - I was very quiet in high school. I did not find my confidence and voice until I was in my 20s and married. Now I can't be quiet!
Love your boudoir photos! Sometimes I don't know when you are kidding....do you make boas or just collect them? (I am naïve)
Now, if I go back to Picasa (I always felt the program was taking over my computer) will my pix be in a cloud instead of just on my hard drive? I don't like Google but I have to get over it. Your advice is very good...I will look into not screwing up again. I am going to send my broken hard drive out to another place and hope for better results and cost. Last night I couldn't sleep and I just kept thinking of the pix I lost. (There I go, living in the past again)Cammi, what a fun day you described with your life-long friends. I have not kept in touch with my HS friends - used to talk on AOL and Classmates but lost them somewhere. My one BFF in Atlanta area is my HS soulmate. She gets me....like no one else.
Carole, an amethyst mine is like a candy store to me (a little hard on the teeth
) Did you tour the mine or just the store? I knew there was a reason I should visit the UP and central Canada. What a great trip you are having. Sandra, that photo of Seattle is stunning. I have been to the city twice overnight and never got to the downtown or waterfront. What a bonus to your trip.
For some reason, my iPhone 5 takes pretty bad pix. It must be me....Mimi....love your rendezvous plans. I hope you have a great time. Cammi, Chevy, lie low, bring your telephoto lens, and watch out for poison ivy in those bushes!
My lovely friend from work is Portuguese and has had a really rough time here since her divorce. She was just contacted by her teenage sweetheart after all these years...he is widowed and he wants her to come to Portugal and he will take care of her and she would have a wonderful life there. She works so hard here...used to own a restaurant and catering - now works as a custodian at my college for the benefits. She cleans houses 7 days a week. Her DD will graduate from college...so Maria will go to Portugal next Friday to meet her Prince...I hope the chemistry is there...a little hair in the right places would be nice too

Good morning all.
Jackie and Joan, like the quote and your comments say, living/staying in the present is important for maintaining a good quality of life. Since it is hard to do, reminders are very valuable. Thank you both.
Cami, Chevy, and Mimi, I hope all three of you continue to enjoy Mimi's visit with her "boy" friend. Cami and Chevy are you practicing up on some karate to come to her rescue if she needs assistance?

Mimi, you are such an adorable clown! I wish you would meet the old beau in a clown costume. Wouldn't that be a hoot?
Cammi, your lunch with old hs friends sounds like great fun. I love the fact that your hostess didn't cook and you all warmed up deli food.
Joan, I'll post some pictures of the mine when I get organized. It was basically a big open cavity in the rock. There was a lot of rubble everywhere. You could take a good-sized plastic bucket and fill it with rocks of your choice for $20. I bought two fairly large rocks that are very pretty with amethyst crystals. One was $25, the larger, prettier one, and a smaller one was $10.
I hope you ladies with the concerns about mismatched breasts can get the problems solved by good surgeons. I have reconstructed breasts that aren't perfect but I can get by with going braless in a tee shirt or knit blouse that doesn't fit tight. Wearing a bra, I'm not self-conscious at all My ps would gladly do some revisions including larger implants, but I am not dissatisfied enough to undergo more surgery. Before bc, I wore an almost-A cup and now I wear a small B cup bra. There was a time when I was envious of women with big breasts. Now I just wish my face wasn't getting so wrinkled!
Despite some rain and cooler-than-normal temperatures, I have enjoyed our couple of days in Petosky. Yesterday we walked up into the downtown district, which is lovely with older buildings that are nicely painted and that house interesting shops and restaurants. We stopped at a wonderful farmers' mkt and couldn't resist buying some beautiful tomatoes and some corn on the cob. So dh and I each had a fairly heavy bag to carry. We stopped and had breakfast at a restaurant called American Spoon. I had the most delicious pancakes called honey ricotta pancakes. The syrup was a mixture of blueberry compote and maple syrup. The presentation was pretty. After we'd finished eating, the waiter gave me a printed card with the recipe. No wonder the pancakes were light and delicious. Part of preparing the batter involves folding one mixture into whipped egg whites. As you can guess, this was a pricey breakfast but we enjoyed the food.
Today I took an hour walk along the bike path that goes along the shoreline of Little Traverse Bay, which is a part of Lake Michigan. We didn't take the bikes down from the rack because it was a little cold for biking. Tomorrow we move on to Manistee, which is also on Lake Michigan.
Hi to everyone.

Yes, and yes Joan! No, I make them and then collect them it seems! If you WANT one, PM me and I will send you one! It's like an obsession....
Oh Joan! Not another one! Those meet-ups scare me half to death. I mean we always dream of ever-lasting love and palpitations, but it's usually a romp in heaven the first few months, and then when your eyes clear, and your heart re-attaches to your body, you sit there and think WTF did I DO? And then you run to a river and cry your eyes out, and then you come to your senses........ And Jackie..... yes, we SHOULD forgive ourselves and the ones who have hurt us, but don't you just want to go beat the holy livin'chit out of them sometimes? I mean I prefer just forgetting them, rather than forgiving them....
And sometimes, it is just better to go on your merry way, withOUT hurtful or abusive people in it.
Carole, I think we ALL would love to go back more than a few years, and just have everything tightened up.... Especially my chin....I mean CHINS! But like I say, if you wear enough make-up, it detracts from your faults.... Ha, ha!
I just thank GOD that I am still here with DH! I can't even imagine life without him..... 57 years the 28th of this month..... We MET in 1955, but didn't marry until 1957.... It's like we grew up together... Made our own life, and Family! Without even ONE instruction book! DD will be 56 a week before our anniversary......
Okay, Cammi..... ..... SEE? Now add that up..... Hah! We were totally surprised..... I mean we were just kids, and THEN, right away.... a little baby coming.
It's a wonder it didn't happen sooner....
You know, it was 37 degrees out this morning, and now over 80! It's a wonder we aren't all sick.
Hi Sally..... Yes.... she is in our radar..... Is she WITH him now? We should check this out! She must be extremely BUSY! I just hope she has a great time, and that she doesn't fall head over heels in love with this convict..... at least until she really KNOWS him.....
Hi Jackie! Oh just WAIT until you are 77! I mean your body doesn't even resemble anything CLOSE to what it was..... THAT'S when you hide all the mirrors.... avoid them at all costs.... Do not EVER try things on in the stores.... just buy it, then take it home and cry..... then take it back.... Tell them the stitching was not quite right.
Joan.... You know I was having trouble with my new Dell modem, with the CD part...... Okay, I finally figured out how to play the CD movies, but it has no sound! At first, it would not do ANYthing.... but you know? I think I am NOT going to worry about it. I don't watch movies on there anyway, and my sounds works great from my Itunes library, and everythning else.... So if I can't record, or listen to CD's, I'll just put them in my stereo player.... ! I am now recording all kinds of Italian love songs by Dean Martin, and Sinatra, for Dear Husband..... See, our car just plays tapes, so I am recording the songs from the disks onto tapes.
It's so fun to have music on instead of the TV blasting away..... Ha!

ahhh Chevy sounds like a romantic agenda with Dean and Frankie...love those smooth voices. And in the car... Whew! How's that back seat
Did you say tape player? We finally dont have a car with a tape player but I bought one of those retro radio/record/CD/tape cassette players. I just cant throw out the old scratchy love songs or the tapes.
Chevy spmetimes I have no sound and never know why. Good luck with figuring it all out.
Yup I am hoping my friend"s Cinderella story endures. One problem is she is so independent and stubborn from living on her own so long. We do get set in our ways don't we?
Carole I would love to see the mine photos.

Yes Chevy - The reunion is the last weekend in Sept and I'll stop at HIS house on the way home Sunday afternoon. I'll call the week before to be sure he remembers. He won't be at the reunion since he's older than me and didn't go to my High School. I was one of those girls who dated the college boys while in HS. I'll be looking for you and Cami in the bushes since he lives out in the country and the house is 300 yards from the road. (So he says.) I think he needs to be updated about technology. He asked if I thought I could find the house. Does he not know about GPS and OnStar. I have both so I can get help on the road no matter what. I had to travel lots before I retired and now driving around in a clown costume and asking for directions at gas stations is just begging for trouble! (There's a clown gag in there somewhere.) In fact, I've already viewed the top of his house from Google Earth!
That's going to be a big week for me ladies. My first mammogram post surgery/radiation and meeting with the radiologist on friday before I leave for Chicago to review results. And this week is totally full practicing clown stuff because I have the three gigs next weekend. Seriously I'm glad to be so busy leaving no time to worry about mammo results. I'm one of those constant worriers when not busy.
And just a little more news. The neighbor who was so obnoxious last spring is selling his house. It may take a while, but with luck, I'll get a some people in there that are a little social and love my dog.

OMG Cammi! She is serious about this cowboy! And she is going to his HOUSE! It's a trap! He is luring her in, and she is going IN.... all FOURS! Some men will say ANYthing to get a girls in there! It's 50 Shades of Gray all over again.... THIS is a quandry. And he is in the TOOLIES! DAMN! I heard about those when I was a KID! And never wanted to go THERE!
Okay Meemers.... THINK about this.... Oh wait..... How old IS this guy? I mean, YOU know... Is he still sowing his not-so-wild oats? She's a gonner girls.... Once he sees her, he will be smitten, and never let her go.
THEN we have to do some sort of raid.... YOU know.... like they do on TV.... With the armored Hummer, and the black out-fits, and that shield, and break down the doors!
I think I only amuse myself.... Ha!
Smarty.... You know I went into some control box, clicked something "on" and then the DVD DID show the movie... but without the sound. And I hate to go screwing around too much, because I DO have sound, just not from the DVD or music CD's I put in there.... but maybe I just don't need it..... It's just that I'de like for it all to work, as long as it is there..... And I would probably never USE it....
And no, it wasn't the BACK seat! It was the front! We just used to mostly make-out.... At that time, being that young, that was a LOT more fun than anything else I thought.
Joan, this happened to my youngest Daughter... She was only married for 4 years, thank God.... So all these years go by, and then one day, this guy, who she didn't recognize walked into her store and started talking to her....
He was her high-school Sweetheart! And he dumped her in high-school! We remembered him, and hated him ever since! BUT here he was standing in front of her... all remorseful and stupid looking! So naturally, they go out, and those old feelings must have come back, and well.... just figure it out.
This went on for about a year.... But he had these stupid "things" going on with him.... His ideas, and beliefs, and how he wanted to change her...! So I think all this time, she thought he would SURELY give up THAT notion, but finally his real character just came out, and all this was put on the back burner.
They still see each other maybe once a month... but nothing ever serious.... He is in her life, but at arms length... He helps her do things around her house.... but we like him (I think) because she just likes him.... I think. In fact, he is coming over tonight, to help us put up that ceiling light fixture.
We haven't seen him since he dropped off the Laminate flooring he was going to install.... This was 2 years ago.... We finally had to do it ourselves, and then call someone else in to finish it. So we are TRYing to maybe be friends with him? Or not.... just so he gets this light fixture up.
I'de LIKE to get him up on that ladder, then kick it out from under him, and watch him go splat, and say, "Oh, excuse me.... I tripped."

As usual a hilarious morning here. I'm not sure about the saying, but it popped into my head. "Funnier than a crutch" which I use to hear to describe laughable things many years ago. Now, since it sailed into my head un-announced after all these years I'm thinking REALLY.
Are there things that are meant to be 'funnier' than a crutch and what in the world could ever be funny about THAT. Maybe I'll have to look that up.
Well, we made the big plunge and Dh turned on the I-heater this morning. Got down in the low 40's overnight and there was a real chill going on in the house. It was pretty chilly last night, but I pretended I didn't notice. Was tired anyway and knew that if cool, snuggling under my bed covers would feel especially good -- so I just toughed it out. The sun it out and it looks nice out. Got up late so really didn't hear the weather report, but if memory serves our temps were due to improve a little. So -- a nice warmth should return and I hope it is the kind where you can open the doors and windows and enjoy the Fall by airing out again after several weeks of closed up air conditioning. I'm a great fan of naturally airing out the house.
Meeting my cousins this a.m. for a late breakfast. That will be fun. Sometimes I skip breakfast on Sunday in favor of a piece of toast with p-nut butter and jelly. Nice to have someone else cook -- great treat.
See you all later.
Blessings

Good morning everyone
Mimi's upcoming reunion reminds me of a "Facebook" reunion I had a few years ago. I found a guy I had been friends with throughout HS. We knew each other through church. I had a major "crush" on him, but he dated my BFF. After we had talked back and forth for a while, even having a long telephone conversation, he asked if I was in contact with her. I told him how to contact her, and laughed quite a bit when his opening comment to her was "do you remember me? I was Anne 's friend." They had dated for a couple of years and he took her to the Prom.
I also had an interesting situation Fri nite. I was talking to my DD in Fl on her cell and the house phone rang. She answered, and I could hear her say, " I was born a Bourne, but I don't think I am the Mrs Bourne you are looking for." She then asked me if I knew a Jim Anson Bourne. I said yes, that is your grandfather. Both of Bobs parents had passed before she was born. She said the call was from a Ken Bourne, and he thought we might be related. That name rang a distant bell with me, and I told her to give him my cell #. As we talked, I was able to verify that yes, we were family. He had found his grandfather's grave, and buried next to him was his twin sister who died when she was 13, which made sense. But next to them was an "Audrey Bourne" who had also died at a young child, and he had no idea who she was. I explained that she was my husbands sister, who had died years before my husband was born. His grandfather and my father-in-law were brothers. As we talked, he mentioned that his father, Kenneth, had been electrocuted in his own backyard. He was amazed when I told him I remembered knowing about that when it happened. The only siblings he knew his grandfather had were my FILand one sister. I told him that as far as I knew, my FIL was one of 12 children. After we talked, I called my BIL, told him about the call, and asked him if I was correct thinking that one of our nephew's had done a family history a few years back. He gave me Ed's info, and it emailed him, asking him to contact Ken if he had any info that might help him. Even though it was my DH's side of the family, it was fun being able to fill in many blanks in his search.
Have a great Sun.

Jackie - When we were kids we used to say 'funny as a rubber crutch'. Not so funny now when many of us need support.
0 -
Minus, that is very interesting indeed. I never heard it as rubber crutch. Also, the one whom I heard use the phrase the most which at the time was my MIL and she was a French Canadian. I don't know if It originated ( if you could say anything like that originates either ) from Canada or something she picked up after she married and lived in Detroit afterwards.
Also don't understand my intrigue over it, but it is ok.

We're set up in our new rv site at Manistee, MI. This casino rv park has outstanding ratings in the campground directory we use. It gets 10/10/10, the highest score. We have a long pull-through site and have cable tv and free internet. It's cool again today and a bit windy.
The casino is in walking distance and it has three restaurants. I think we'll walk down there and have dinner tonight.
We'll be here tomorrow and will move on to Holland, MI, on Tues. There we'll visit dh's cousin Cal and his wife Barb.
Happy Sunday to all.

Carole, I really envy you your visit to Holland, Mi. I had friends that moved there from Detroit, which is where I lived with my first husband for 7 years. We never got up there to see them or what seemed such an ideal place listening to their glowing descriptions.
Sadly, my friends husband had lies told about him and a couple of other guys and all three had to resign their good positions. I never knew what the "lies" were, but whatever it was, I know in my heart and soul that my friend's husband was as innocent as she said he was. They had to move to the only place where Mike could find another teaching position which was in Mineral Wells, Texas.
My friend was just destroyed. Went into severe depression and she struggled for yrs. and yrs. and just tried everything. Nothing helped, and ultimately she took her own life.
I'm sure Texas can be a wonderful place and my friend did make it their several yrs. but I know she sooo missed her fairly-tale life in Holland, Mi. Loved the UP ( which I thought at that time would be do difficult. Detroit's weather seemed horrid at the time, but most of it was just that I was not used to 'hard' winters.
Enjoy Holland for me.

Jackie - Rubber crutch is the way I heard it too. - But Carole, Holland Michigan is gorgeous. I went there with my mom years ago for the tulip festival. Now that's quite a site. - Anne how good you could fill in the details for someone.
It was a gorgeous day here in Missouri. There was a community picnic by the lake with lots of tupperware filled with goodies. I was there to twist balloons for kids, but there were only five fifth grade boys there. So I taught them to twist balloons and they even gave up on their football plans to stay and learn. You can take the old teacher out of the classroom, but not out of the old lady. Had fun with those kids. I loved teaching fifth grade. 0 -

Mimi, how great!!!!! You could be a snake charmer. Well, my hat is off to you. To get a small group of boys to give up football to interact with learning from a clown -- just WOW !!!! I'm so, so impressed.
Just to make it official 'little' teacher. Rubber crutch actually makes a lot more sense than leaving the word rubber out. Still, I know I recall correctly that my MIL never used the word rubber in her phrase -- so no wonder it has always struck me odd that anyone would use the phrase to describe something not funny at all.
Sun is not out today, but it is a bit warmer and I'm glad of that. Here we go on the see-saw of it's too hot or it's too cold ---- or maybe too windy or rainy. We can be such hard to please creatures sometimes.
I forget once in a while to just be happy and grateful that I'm able to complain and some things you are able, you don't really have too. It will be a good day no matter what. I get to make it just about like I want it.
Hope you Blondie and Cammie and all the sort of quiet ones are ok. Sandra and Sally and mommarch -- and anyone I may have forgotten.
Blessings,
Jackie

I KNOW Jackie.....! They are all gone! So far, we are having a beautiful day!
And after fuming and having hot flashes, I FINALLY got someone on the phone, that I could understand, and help me through figuring out how my new GoPhone works, with AT&T! We got it all working, and now I will figure out how to program a few numbers in it.
I got this for DH, because he does NOT like to carry a phone! But this one is like a Trac-Phone, has big letters, and is a flip top, so he can carry it in his pocket, and not butt-dial anyone like we ALL do! So he should be able how to answer a call, and place one, in case he needs one for help....!
AND, it does not text! Yaaaaaaaaay! He couldn't do it anyway, and I don't LIKE to do it on MY phone.... I like to communicate with emails, or phone calls....
Okay so Jackie, seems like it's just us two, little kiddle! Ha! xoxoxo

OMG I've been so MIA--to much going on here.
Two of the women from one of my other threads came over---One I don't know as well and she stayed a couple of hrs. and she was very nice and her hair started growing back, But Chevy u know of Goldie she cam early Sat. and stayed til mid day Sunday--And she is absolutely beautiful in all ways --so we spent a lot more time together and I was so happy to meet her--She lives in northern AZ but visiting her mom in northern MI and drove the 6 hrs alone and I was thrilled. She's so nice and warm and open and funny. and so beautiful with perfect body PERFECT that was a dislike of mine hahaha--That was the first time I met anyone on these sites and it was marvelous. So that's why I wasn't here, she tried to teachme some stuff but I don't remember well. Another thing is she's blonde--well Joey feel in love OMG he was so sad when she left but she gave him her name or something so they could text--OMG she's going to be sorry--I hve to limit that cuz he didn't want her to leave at all, ever. Oh and then there was a block party last nite and it was chilly but OK--And work started early today.

Oh Chevy we have our hands full because of this internet thing that everyone is going to meet---in the woods--sounds like the making of a scary movie to me. Wow we have to pull out all the stops and help the meemers for this one--good thing we have lots of places to hide I hope we don't loose ourselves. Now masks just won't do the trick we'll have to be more inventive maybe we could dress like clowns, we'll fit in anyway-Nope not a good idea We'd better go thru our storage locker to see what we have, cuz we don't want to be noticed by animals either AHA maybe we should dress like animals like a unicorn and Pegasus no one will know. 300 feet off of the road, that's 300 feet from civilization we have to be clever. With u'r cane and my walker we might be able to make it 100 feet but the other 200 will be a struggle.
OK I feel bad about the bra situations when and if I do wear mine it hurts my underarms so I just go flat--but I used to be a c or D cup I don't actually remember and I'd get those rashes all over under my breasts too and I took an antibiotic and theat would clear up in like 2 days, my DR. said it was a yeast infection ????/ And I got one off at a time and it was awful my body was lopsided then a year later the other one had to come off and it all had to do with insurance--my boobs had to have cancer or it wouldn't cover it. And it actually was better with both off. I think it's harder to deal with lumpectomies than flt chested. Much less painful when u go flat. Flat is where it's at. For me anyway.
Carole u'r still having u'r fun time and that's great.
OK now for this BOURNE character, sounds fishy to me, but then again everything sounds fishy (to many rime shows) I don't care who or what they know now everything is findable if u know how to. Chevy we have another job. so get right on thst I have to find our costumes
OK I have a lot of planning to do so I need to get out my maps and ruler--well I know my SIL has at least one. .

No we won't "loose" ourselves, because we already are. (See, you said "loose" and you meant "lose.") And I just wanted to clarify, that we ARE "loose."
I TOLD you it was serious, and here she goes, making those plans.... how to you spell rendauvous... Oh wait.... It is rendezvous.... I checked it. Anyone she is hell-bent on meeting up with this ne'er do well...
Yes.... walkers and canes... no-one will recognize us... I don't want to dress up like no damn animal.... YOU can.... We need a rope..... to lasso her and drag her away.
I wonder if anyone thinks we are NUTS....? Ha, ha! I have so much fun pretending with you!
Yes, I really liked Goldie too.... she is too beautiful for her own good.... so therefore we shouldn't be friends with her..... Oh wait.... You already have.
Okay yes, I've had those too..... yeast infections.... except they weren't under my breasts.... THAT was the time I got painted purple, because the Doc told me to use a little vinegar and water.... So I thought if a "little" would be good, a LOT would be better.
I'm here to tell you gals, do not EVER try that one! I mean I must have given myself 10 degree burns.... I mean bad burns. So I carefully walked into the Doc's, and he got out his paint-brush, and painted me with a can of purple exterior paint, and I was sent home....
I think Sass remembers me telling her that I had a pickled purple ..... um cat. That was my experience with a yeast infection.
Isn't a Unicorn and a Pegasus the same thing? I may be wrong here..... but just thinkin'.......
What is this Bourne thing you are talking about? Is this what one of these other gals is doing? Whatever THAT is? I don't want no damn costume! We need a Hummer. We need one to drag all these brain-washed women back to their homes. We can wear those all black battle-gear swat-team uniforms.... with face shields.... then raid their no-tell motels.... Meemers would have to drive though.... We should take away HER keys.... Then she would be safe.... He wouldn't remember her anyway.
Your maps and ruler! Hah! Like we could read one. Love you kemosabe! xoxoxox

Chevy - I remember the purple that stained underwear and clothes. Gentian Violet. I was wondering if they ever used it anymore and looked it up to see it is no longer prescription. How in the world could we 'paint' ourselves??

OMG! You know about it too! Ha, ha! The Doc painted me.... A one time only thing.... I don't know if it helped anything..... it probably SCARED anything 1/2 to death, and it quit bothering us....
I wonder if they used that for ANYthing else! And what it was made out of.....? Okay..... I'll have to look that up.... I remember having to wear a pad with that.... This must have been the olden days.... I don't think anyone else knows what we are talking about....0 -
Anne, what a darling little girl. They are so cute at that age, aren't they? You have to soak it up in order to get through their awful teenage years.
Jackie, your message about forgiveness hit home.
