Sorry, Eeyore.
Would a school of yellow tangs swimming with the turtle help undo the images?
Or maybe this yellow jelly fish?

Ms. Wren, I agree. Caterpillars are beautiful in their own way.
Sensi, there is a time to lurk and there is a time to yack. Ha!
JunieB, hope Kirby does not like chewing on electrical cord.
I started Mitzy on the Honest Kitchen a little over a week ago and we notice that she has been drinking water more than usual the last two days. Had three accidents in the house so far. Not exactly sure it is related to the food or the rain. It has been raining for nearly a week on and off. She does not like to go outside very long when it is wet. Does her business quickly and runs back inside. I wonder if she completely empties her bladder. Unless....she picks up the stress/worries from me these last week and a half with dad's injury and mom's car accident.....Mitzy mopes aroundgives me this sad look 
WildT, thought you said you will "bbl". I have been waiting. Ha!
Everyone else, are you behaving yourself?

hi all. Been busy and out of town. Haven't avoided the rain. Typical Californians, we complain when it doesn't rain enough and when we've had enough!
Heading to bodego bay tomorrow for sewing retreat. yesterday I made a piece of cloth, felting. I'll show you a picture later. It's suppose to be a bag when I get done. 😝 We'll see.
How's everybody? Very quiet on here

Ladies, I heard from another sister on BCO that Holeinone may have lost her battle. She used to be here with us, but remember she had told us about changing to Stage IV and have not seen her here in awhile.
Do any of you know this or was this maybe shared here earlier when I was not on the thread for awhile?

Jazzy, HiHo passed on Oct 12th, 2016 per Ms. Smaarty
This news was shared when you were away. I last chatted with her through PM in July. I still can't believe ithappened so fast. I have since learned to treasure everyone here on IT, new and old friends. 0 -
Loverly- thanks for confirming and sad news. It did happen very quickly. I have heard of a few sisters that lost their battle in the past few months.
You are all very special people and continue to pray everyone continues on living life with great zest and joy!

Awww, love it!! He is actually walking himself in the video. Mitzy got her walk this evening too. All those days trapped inside the house I think was too much for her anxiety. No accident today. Yay! I think we have enough rain for now or we will have lakeside property
and I would need to trade Mitzy in for a Portugese Water Dog. Have a safe trip tomorrow, Ms. S

Hello Ladies,
Sensi - Love the video of Chance. Such a good boy. At least he comes when you call. Kirby only comes if he thinks I might have treat. I lost my grip on his leash last night and he was off like a shot. There is still snow on the ground and the ground is uneven. The squirt scared the tar out of me. There was only a building between us and the driveway. I sure hope he learns the "come here" command soon. He is doing well on his potty training though.
Here he is sitting on my computer chair a few nights ago:
Loverly - I sure hope Mitzy does well on the Honest Kitchen. I haven't started Kirbs on it yet because he is on the ultra puppy food for now,but I have a box of the other to transition him to when I can. I do give him "Stella & Chewy's" beef treats though. He loves them. Stella & Chewy's is another organic freeze dried dog food and treats too. I also have tried putting his toothpaste on his teeth. Yuck, he hated it. He'll get used to it though. He had his vet check yesterday and he's gained 3/4 of a lb. in the last week. Growing like a weed. 6.75 lbs now. Kirby loves the snow & rain. I have to nearly drag him to get him to come inside. Actually I pick him up and carry him in. Again, little squirt! So much fun though.
The yellow worm was just ewww! But the yellow fish & turtle were very pretty. Thanks for sharing.
Broke out the slow cooker yesterday and made pork chops w/ potatoes. They turned out ok, but nothing I'd write home about. Saw an interesting recipe on youtube I may try next time.
Smaarty - Have a great/relaxing time on your retreat.
Hey Wren, how's it going with you?
Tomorrow is Friday the 13th. I'm not superstitious, so not an issue for me. I am getting a massage in the afternoon though.
Hello to everyone else! Sleep well and Good morning to you Feline.

Kirby gets cuter every day, and his name fits him perfectly.

Loverly, Ha..you caught me! I actually posted Sunday morning, and then Sunday eve when I logged in it wasn't there. I swear the computer ate it, and it wasn't human error. I just haven't been up to re-posting till now, but I'll have to go back and read before making some comments.
It's been a tough week here..some little things, some big. Little annoying things like smoke detector batteries going off at an inconvenient time, meds needing insurance pre authorization, etc. Big things like seeing the plastic surgeon and realizing I'll need fat grafting to get the look I want and THEN my ex-husband telling me he has been dating someone and he is planning to introduce my kids to her soon. This will be the first time they will be meeting someone else since our divorce. I've dated, but don't feel it's appropriate to involve the kids unless I think it's going somewhere. Anyway, he talked to the kids about her, even showed her a picture. It's someone he knew in high school and they re-connected and have been only seeing each other since around Thanksgiving, so I think it's too soon. Here's the polite version of how I'm feeling (you can substitute/insert the language of your choice)..the jerk messed up our marriage, I got cancer, and he gets a relationship. I saw my therapist yesterday, and I feel better, but this new thing is going to be hard to navigate.
Okay, so I'm going to go back and read now and then post again when I can (really).

Morning girls! Well Tulip, I inserted my own language about your DH-X. ! And you would have loved it. Also DH is NOT dear husband.... in my own mind... It is D-head..... and that's what yours is.
It's gonna happen.... and it's like he is bragging. He is a snot..... and a few other names.... Your kids just want you both to be happy... so they don't see it the same as you do. MAN, talk about rubbing your nose in it! I guess you have to be "cordial" to him, for your kids sake, but you can tell US what you really think. He's a jerk! Aaaargh....! I don't even know the guy, but I don't like him... It's amazing you held it all together! I admire you.... and your "calmness".... There is always the old iron skillet waiting....
I love the Kirbs and Chancemiester! Our dog Chevy used to go get my shoes, and throw them down in front of me.... AND his leash.... Hah! There was one dog in the neighborhood, that always had his soft mallard duck toy in his mouth! And he loved for us to notice him, and pet his duck! I keep "treats" in my purse, when we walk up to Starbucks, for our little "friends".....

Wildtulip- someone from high school? Your ex must have gone cruising FB or Classmates.com. Not dating even a few months and wanting to start introducing her to family seems like things are moving a bit too fast. Relationships that go too quickly often end quickly, please remember that.
Sorry he is been a jerk about this. Men can be very cruel with this stuff.

Okay...catch up day.
SusieM, Thank you..The IV I had last week went well. I didn't get sick from it this time! How are you?
Jazzy, I'm so glad you had a lazy day last week. So rare for you! Isn't your yoga retreat tomorrow?
Chevy, I hope you are feeling better from the Cipro. Just teach hubby to use Cortana or Dr Google already!
Smaarty, Have fun at the sewing retreat.
Mags, How is PT going?
Junie, How is the toe healing? How did the sleep Dr go? So glad Kirby didn't take off on you. Such a cute dickens!
Sensi, Love the video of chance.
Susan, did you get the eyelash extenders?
Lita, How is your cousin doing? Makes me so sad to think what she went through.
Great picture of Sensi, Loverly, Smaarty and Poppy. You are fortunate to be near each other.
Spookie, I get what you said about lunch program. Although we have dishwashers, some stuff is still by hand, and either way it's a lot of work. There are some schools in my area (like Minneapolis) that have a central kitchen and ship out to schools. In my district, though, we prepare everything on sight at each school. I'm actually really proud of our district program. Some things, like hamburger patties are purchased frozen, but for example, if pulled pork is on the menu the cooks will cook a roast and shred the meat. We also have MANY fruits and veggies plus salads offered at every school, every day. Each student is required to take at least one fruit or veggie with each meal.
Loverly, Cute pics of your niece! It's so sad that you witnessed a drowning as a child, and then experienced the incidence with your dad. I'm sure the childhood memory made your dad's accident harder on you. My joint pain is good, thank you. My kids started back to work on the 4th, but I haven't worked yet. A couple of days I had appointments, a couple weight restrictions, so when someone called they opted to try another sub. Then this week I haven't been called at all. How is the book stand working for your dad? Another option I thought of is using a dense foam wedge with bungee cords to hold the book to it. I envision the largest part of wedge in his lap. Maybe it would be too big or bulky, but a thought.
Hi everyone!
I hope the sick hubbies healed. My heart goes to those with aging doggies.

Wildtulip- heading to yoga retreat shortly. They have a spa there too, and treatment to start this afternoon!

Chevy/Jazzy, Thank you for your support! My Ex was actually doing his duty informing me because we had agreed when we divorced that we would inform the other if we were going to introduce someone to the kids. I'm glad he did, cuz DD did talk about her after school, but it was way awkward! Plus it would have come up because get this...he tells me about this woman, then I asked if he was planning a vacation this summer (I meant with the kids), and he tells me that this woman is going to a conference in April and he may go with her. So, he's going to be gone during some days when he would have the kids..essential for me to know. This is how it happened..after ex's dad passed away late summer/early fall, she sent him a card. They are from a small town, so not unusual she heard, but odd thing is the card came to my house. His name only, my address. (When I google his name though, it still shows my address) Other odd thing, I remember the return address was the local Children's Hospital. In fact I almost opened it, thinking it was a nurse sending a card about the kids. Turns out she is a NP..no idea why she used hospital as return address..I suppose just in case it got in wrong hands. Anyway, she included her phone number, they had coffee, and have been seeing each other. He doesn't really get there's a line between sharing essential info, and too much. I swear he has un-diagnosed aspergers. (Think Sheldon from Big Bang theory) I know I'll hear stuff from my kids anyway, but it sucks. And yes, I have a lot of names for him..but mostly it comes down to he's annoying.
Tomorrow night I'm planning to go out dancing, for the first time since last April. I watched clips of the band I'm going to see, so now I'm in the mood to shake it.
Now to try to figure out what to wear..normally it would be something clingy/sleeveless, but not sure about it at this point in the reconstruction process. 0 -
Awww WildT. I don't want to write in a rush. I could ask you any questions still? Why did you divorce him? Did the stress of caring for your premature twins had something to do with it also? Just want to understand the situation and you more. Understand if you are not comfortable to share. BBL (today). Ha!

I've been busy with seriously crazy weather and DH having surgery and turning 65. Medicare is too confusing, it has taken so many brain cells to figure this out but I finally get it, I think. My work has great medical coverage. But the plan choices are different and confusing because it is Medicare time for him. We will be changing medical groups and doctors so that will be stressful but it could be worse.
Lunch was so very nice ladies, we do take a great picture dont we! I cant even explain how much I enjoy knowing you 3. If the security camera could speak it would be laughing at all the boob stuff it saw that day.
Beautiful sunshine today, hummingbirds are hungry after all the rain.
Loverly - I honestly did not see a mole. I am not just saying this I did not see even a small one...but of course now I will be looking!
Sensi - Chance is so well behaved, did you train him yourself? We always end up with unruly dogs! Not as much fun as having one like Chance who walks himself. How are you feeling?
Smaarty - Jealous of you, I want to go on a sewing retreat. Or any kind of retreat! Turned in my retirement paperwork today
so maybe I'll have time to go this year! Yes will send you that cancer fitness program info, hope its good. Orientation next week, first class the week after so I'll let you know what its like.Jazzy - Yoga retreat! What is that like, sounds wonderful.
Junie - A massage, happy day!
WildT - Men...they have no clue. And yours was Sheldony thats too funny. I'm hoping at least she is mature, patient, quiet, kind.... no craziness. What if she is Sheldony too lol? I feel for you, this is a lot to add to your plate right now. You go shake it, woohoo for your recon at least no fake boobs will go flying!!

Jazzy, I hope you are off having a restful, pampering, fabulous time!!
Loverly, Yes..you can ask, but because this is public, I'll be vague. The divorce had nothing to do with the kids. He hid an addiction from me, which led to a poor relationship. I became very unhappy, and after counseling deciding I was worth being treated better, so I told him I wanted a divorce and he should find a new place to live. I hope you had a good day!
Poppy, Yes...and my PS has given me the go ahead to be bra optional, so I can shake it in comfort!

wildtulip, hang in there, and most of all have fun dancing. Yes I did get extensions. Looks like I have my old eyelashes back with mascara on. No one thought otherwise. Unbelievably natural. She gave me a great deal, real great deal cause of the circumstances. Very sweet
Loverly, how is your dad?
Kirby is the cutest. Good thing you caught the little dickens
Happy yoga
Hi everyone else. Didn't take notes so I forgot rest:(
Happy sewing smaarty
Don't be grossed out by next picture. I am posting an alert. It's baby girl playing in tub with prunes :

she had fun prune painting :0 -
Jazzy, very true about relationships that go too quickly often end quickly. Hope you had a restful yoga retreat. Please share when you get a chance.
WildT, good for you for drawing your boundary. You are worth more than how you were treated and you let him know by booting him out. Yes, it is not wise to share the details of our personal life on a public forum. Oh the addiction....we all have some form of it. Some are more destructive than others. I wonder if most addictions stem from insecurity. We almost got a divorce because of DH's addiction. Grateful we did not go through it thanks to a friend who is a counselor. She helped me to see the insecure child in DH. He did not have a very good relationship with his dad who was very abusive to MIL and the kids. The friend opened my eyes to see who DH really is-the vulnerable man who seemed confident on the outside, but scared and insecure on the inside. I am no saint myself. I also have issues. Used to have a lot of nightmares, among other things... more baggages than I can carry myself. Marriage is tough. When you put two broken persons together, conflicts are created. Sometimes I think people don't realize their addictive action is very painful. Tough when the person is in denial. Ok I am rambling.
Guess what I found for you? Some moves you can practice for tomorrow. Hah! Have fun.

Oh Susan, Elena looks like she had fun painting.
Dad is better each day. Still needs the Neurontin to help with the pain. He told my mom she could keep the anti-inflammatory and Tramadol. Just give him his Neurontin. Thanks to Peppy, I got him some B6 also. Completely, forgot about that vitamin.
JunieB, Kirby sounds like a careless toddler.

MammaRay, everyone has to get away now and then. Don't feel bad about staying in pajamas all day. I stay in mine when I don't have to go anywhere too. Oh, and wigs can be fun, especially if you have 2 or 3.
I just started watching that new show, Star, with Benjamin Bratt and Queen Latifah. Seems like she wears a different wig in every other scene. Where I used to work a couple of the women wore wigs too, and they didn't have an illness either. Sometimes they came to work in their real hair, but they wore their wigs a lot of the time.

Junie , Kirby looks like he is very inquisitive, I'm sure he is keeping you hopping. Just don't overdo it.
Good to hear you California ladies can dog walk without getting soaked. The weather here last week was brutal, starting tomorrow we will get some balmy weather (above freezing).
Wildtulip we all hit bumps in the road from time to time , you will get past this just like you have in the past. Our children are much more resilient then we realize.
Susan your granddaughter certainly looks happy.
MammaRay hope you are feeling better, thinking of you.
Loverly good to hear your dad is on the mend.
Our house is very quite without our dog, when I hear a noise I think it is him, forgetting he is not here anymore. This is the first time in 22 years we have not had a dog, but we are going to wait awhile before we get another one. We plan on doing some traveling or just going away on the spur of the moment for a day or two.
Shep hope you are feeling okay.
Hi to everyone one else

Lookie ~ My deepest condolences to you. Bailey was an adorable photo bomber; the pictures you posted with him always made me smile. He will always be a part of your heart....that is why you still "hear" him. Wish I had better words, sending you (((hugs)))

Forward, hugs and more hugs. It is the risk we take when we bring them into our hearts. I am confident you have many wonderful and happy memories of Bailey. Focus on that.
