    Meece, you are truly dating yourself!  But, I made it back.

    Ainm, back to you.  Lovely poem.

    Very nice, Ainm!

    If my wrinkles and gray hair haven't dated me yet?

    Fighting a heck of a cold - not a happy camper at all.

    Thanks JO.  Took some Nyquil last night and Dayquil this morning and I'm feeling a little better.  It's always hard to tell whether it's allergies or a cold but allergy meds yesterday did nothing so I went for the cold medicine.  Still a little stuffy so probably will take another dose of Nyquil tonight.  Claritin does nothing for me but make me feel extremely dried out, I mean extremely dry so I stay away from it prefering Zyrtec for allergy. 

    Glad you got over yours.

    Patoo, will you add "CC" (capsular contraction) to the abbreviations?  Thank you. Smile

    Sounds like you've had recon, TooManyCocktails!  CC adds just one more issue to deal with.

    @Meece, I have not had reconstruction or plastic surgery of any kind yet.  I'm still not familiar with all the terms for breast reconstruction.  I was looking up the types of surgeries and complications and felt like I was reading Greek due to all the abbreviations.  I appreciate this abbreviation page very much.  It is very useful to me.

    It was mini-family reunion at Yachats Oregon (central Oregon coast) it was fabulous-great weather & my DD took a friend so she wasn't moping about with "old" people for a week!  We saw whales & I cleaned my brother's clock in ping-pong!  Couldn't ask for a better 5 days!

    The end of another week.  I hope the heatwave is not affecting any of you too badly.  It's been a dredful summer here in Ireland - ugh nasty cold grey weather!!

    Meece - how is your new grandson??  Are you well settled in your new job now?  I still haven't plucked up the courage to try and look for a job - ooh my tummy lurches when I think about it!!

    ((((((((((((Hugs to all)))))))))))))))))))

    Hi friends.  I'm off for a week so looking to you all to keep this at the top.

    Keep cool everyone, a break from this heat is on the way.  Ainm, sorry your weather is so drab.  That just makes it harder to always be upbeat but you can do it.
