Teka sometimes a stance needs to be taken. What's appropriate in The Steam Room may not be appropriate elsewhere.
Mommy glad they seem to be getting the message. I agree with Shep confrontation doesn't always end well.
Loverly, YAY DD1 is home for the summer. One year done. Mitsy is a sweetie.
Mostly Mom Yes, Animal House. How could I forget. Animal Farm was Aldous Huxley Hahahaha, Got my animals mixed up
Good Luck lita

Shep & Loverly, , thanks for the backup, appreciated
Jo, my memory is getting seriously bad. Bonfire of the Goddesses. Have fun on your trip. If you remember when you get to the area. It would be fun to see if anyone remembers. my families from there. In 1976 I was in Lima and called my Dad in Detroit. Greg's family was able to say that there were still families there that my Dad remembered. That was 50 years later.
One family in particular ran the town bakery and the kids had continued it. It'd be a hoot if that same bakery was still in the same family.

Let's all take a deep breath and enjoy the moment. I stepped out my front door took a deep breath and was rewarded with the smell of honeysuckle.
Lover, Mitzi is so cute! Looks like she's chillaxing in a very comfortable position.
M0mmy, what a relief it must have been when your neighbors ended their party early.
This is my work station were I spent yesterday chillaxing. I was sipping wine and painting my veggie stakes.
Praying everyone is having a nice weekend.

Teka yes, I was referring to the Steam Room For Anger. It's another of my threads. If you haven't read the topic box, that threads intent is for anger and ranting. It's a space to do that. It's a space to let the words rip. What was objectionable was the identification of an ethnicity and explectives. The Mods were contacted. Time passed. Nothing was done. I acted. Only later did the mods act. One time on Warm & Fuzzies, it was getting pretty "blue", I asked folks to not do that b/c it didn't fit the place. They were certainly funny, but I had to look at the overall. It wasn't the popular thing , but it was the right thing to do.
Is anonymity better when objecting to something. It's easier. But there are times as I said that (I) to take a stance.
Had I not acted we wouldn't be having an exchange in posts. You are expressing that you object to me objecting. That's reasonable, I can deal with that.

Looks like my idiot neighbors might be having another party. I hope not!!!!

Happy to finally have had two nights of uninterrupted sleep. The neighbors party ended a bit early due to the threat of rain showers.

We have neighbors who get outside and cheer some game they're playing. I think they cheer every time anyone hits the ball or shuttlecock. It sounds like a whole school cheering. It would be fine if they played and then did something else, but it can go on for hours. At least it's during the day. We had other neighbors who didn't realize the party was over until the cops came. Once we figured that out, we didn't hesitate to call. Finally someone (perhaps the cops?) tipped off the owner, an elderly woman who was letting her granddaughter live there. She took action.

FFH has had to work all day and half the night each calendar day of this long Memorial Day weekend. Each year at this time, our lil' beach town become inundated with "motorcycle enthusiasts" . I worry about him out there on patrol. There are some real ruff riders out there!

Glad to hear your neighbors behave themselves, Mommy. It get so stressful when the neighbors only think about themselves. We are fortunate our new next door neighbors no longer blast their music late at night. They responded with just a friendly request to turn their music down after 10 p.m.

Oh hi there Shep! Those are scary motorcycle riders. Was going to post some pics for Memorial Day.
For some, everyday is Memorial Day.
As always, grateful to be an American.

Teka, I don't always agree with Ms. Sas, but I did appreciate her for publicly asking Lita to edit her post. I don't think Ms. Sas' intention was to shame or embarrass Lita, but only out of consideration for others who read the thread. If I wrote or posted something that is offensive, I would like to know. What is offensive to one may not be offensive to another. It's not hard to misunderstand when we only have words. I don't like conflict and hate to see people not getting along. We all have different backgrounds and circumstances. People deal with trials differently and it shows in their posts. No one is perfect and I am not here to judge. Just wish that we could understand each other better.
Edit post cuz I couldn't think straight earlier.

Lover, Amen! 🙏🙏🙏
ShepK, HI!!! I'm a biker babe but I'm harmless! DH just got himself another bike and said to let him know when I find the one I want. I sold my bike to my DSIL when I moved here from Texas. Then he sold it to his Dad so it's still in the family I guess lol
M0mmy, nice that your neighbors have kept it down the past 2 nights. I hope they can make it 3 in a row!
Waving hello to everyone 👋👋

My great uncle gave his life for our freedom in WWII. I honor him every year by saying Thank You in my heart.
Neighbors behaved for the 3rd night in a row. Well July 4th will be another test of if they got the message.

Morning, New week. On Bikers, Did you see Rolling Thunder in DC. Rex Tillerson road with them.
Wenchie, too cool you are a biker babe. I couldn't hold one up even when I was strong.
Remodel: Two walls are tiled. Lesson on the tile. Top tile in the box was exactly what I wanted. Other tile had these varying brown streaks running through it. One tile had a large brown streak. I was out, the tiler put it up. It's ugly, but not sure if we can get it down. Of course, it was one of two pieces around the window. Intricate and time consuming cut. I planned on putting a picture over the window. The picture will cover it partially. So, there is some hope it can be disguised.
The tile was a brand new product. They didn't have the wall sample up yet. They did on sunday when we went back for two pieces that we were short for. Floor & Decor puts up a 4-6 foot wall sample for each of the major tiles. Also, the reason we were short was, we didn't know a window increased wastage by 10-15%.

ShepK, now that's a bike! LOL
Teka, love the cat belly rub!
Sassy, did you take a picture of your final project to show the store how different your tiles were from each other? That would have driven me crazy but a lot of things drive me to places I shouldn't go!
I'm off for my consult with my new BS and discuss getting my port removed. Yay!

Wenchi, Apparently the marbles are prone to this. I just didn't know. We looked at all the procelains simulated marble and real marbles that were up. Sunday the fella let us go through the boxes to pick the tiles we wanted. I thought that was very nice. Just really hoping we can get those two tiles down. UGH. I'll have to try and take a picture.
Good Luck with the BS. BTW why are you getting a new BS?

Teka, Loved the cat photo. My cat does that. Sometimes he wants tummy rubs and sometimes he just wants to remind me that his claws need clipping.

Sassy, my MO recommended I go to someone else. MO said I don't need anymore stress than I already have and seeing someone that would stress me out at this time was not a good thing. She did an awesome job on my DBMX but telling me no treatments were necessary as she read my path report wrong was more than my MO could even forgive. I may go see her once my PS does my exchange surgery, I'll see how I feel in a few months.I get my port removed on 6-9! Yay!!
0 -
Wenchie, Yup real super reason to change BS's. I remember that now. YAY port out 6-9. We will be in your pocket. I'll bring the chocolate
One of the best inventions of the last century, but easy to say goodbye too. Needless trivia, my twins oncologist invented the port. I thought that was cool.0 -
Tell her to thank him for me. I decided to keep mine because of the state of my veins, and MO and I were both glad I did, as I've already used it for the halaven. BTW I took my last dose of xeloda for the first round yesterday morning. We're leaving for eastern Missouri Thursday morning, and DC has church stuff tomorrow so I had to get my errands done today. Went to the surgeon for this bone splinter which seems to be attached. He actually snipped off the sharp end, it's much better now. Then went to dentist and got another adjustment on the dentures and the top stays in place with no adhesive (though probably not for eating). And the bottom is nice and snug. I wore them when we left there, and we went to Sprouts for a little shopping. Rose sure was happy to see me when I got home. She's going to be mad again when I start packing for our trip.
OMD this stuff they line the dentures with is the foulest tasting stuff and I can't get the taste out of my mouth. Yuck! 🤢

Hello Ladies,
I hope everyone had enjoyable Memorial Day weekends. Unfortunately I did not. There was a major issue with a neighbor and the BBQ we'd planned went awry. Oh well life is too short for stuff like that.
Today I went with a friend to see the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Men Tell No Tales" We enjoyed it a lot. Last week we saw "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" and it was the first time I'd heard the phrase "Trash Panda". It was said to the character Rocket who is a talking Raccoon. Amazing what you can learn at the movies.
Mags - Glad your dentures are fitting better. I hope your trip is fun for you too.
Kirby was a naughty boy on Saturday. He chewed up a plastic grocery bag AND an envelope I needed to mail my insurance premium in. Then he was throwing up Saturday evening and all through the night on Sunday morning. I was afraid I'd have to find a way to the emergency vet, but it passed by Sunday afternoon and he was back to eating, drinking and expelling as normal. So Thankful for that.
Also, I met a woman last week who told me about the smash cake she had made for her Frenchie on her 1st birthday. I had to ask (considering I don't have children) what a smash cake is. Quite a cute idea. I want to get a party hat for Kirby with a 1 on it for his first birthday. Maybe a new bone too. He's 8 mos. already.
Adorable pics of the biker dogs. Maybe Kirbers should get a pair of the Doggles glasses.
Sorry if I'm going on about him too much, but here he is hanging on my walker in his usual spot.
M0mmy - Glad for your several nights of uninterrupted sleep. Lets hope a continuation of the peace.
Wenchie - Your BS told you you didn't need any further treatment? That is awful. Reminds me of when I first started having the abdominal and back pain in 2014 and the radiologist missed the tumor in my T11, only to have them tell me later in a letter that 50% of radiologists would have missed it. Not a real confidence builder for us in our medical professionals, huh?
I hope your appt. with your new BS went well.
Well, I am going to say goodnight for now and wave Hi to everyone I didn't address.

Mags, hmm improvement, oh so slow, but at least seems in the right direction yay. My twin won't let go of her port either. I think she's had it since 2006(7), she also said she'd keep it forever. That was her second port. Road trip, have fun. Your friends in Missouri are such lovely folks.
Junie, You could never go on about Kirby too much. Always love hearing about him. Sorry your neighborhood party went awry. Bummer.
Remodel: I'm intentionally losing weight. I went to weigh myself this morning. Donnie had nailed a piece of drywall to the closet door b/c this is going to be a high dust day. Scale is in the closet.
Loverly, Hugs, sometimes words aren't understood, but saying them is necessary. I'm counting the days till your trip, like I'm the one going. Are the girls excited? Will you be able to send pictures?

The idiots that shoot off the fireworks in the area where I live usually starts about mid-June.
Gotta get Jackson's new dog license from our town this week. Thought I was going to have to this by going there but I found out that I can send a copy of the required documents and payment and they send the tags to me

Sassy, yes that was a very dark time in the beginning of my BC journey. I owe my bright outlook all to you! Thank you will never be enough for all your help muddling through my path report, advice, encouragement and love! Thank you!
Junie, adorable Kirby! Kirby is your baby go on about him all you want. I like hearing about his antics and just love all of his pictures. Yeah, my introduction to BC was a nightmare! I owe all my strength to getting through the first months largely due to all the love, support and advice I got from the phone calls with Sassy. She walked me through the path report confusion and I took her advice with every decision I needed to make and came through with flying colors. I even believe Sassy took on my worries for me. I think I owe my fearlessness of the future with BC to Sassy also.
I've got a busy day ahead so I'd better get it started. I'll be back later!

Wenchi, Oh my, hugs .......and more hugs

Mags, I am pleasedto hear that your mouth is much better....just in time for your annual trip. Hope DH will enjoy the trivial game at the restaurant. Eight hours drive is a loooong time. Hope your back/hips will behave. Have a fun and safe trip.
Lori, love your patio area. So relaxing. Chillaxing....need to add that to my limited vocab.. Ha!
Eeyore and Kath, thinking of you if you are lurking.
JunieB, don't be silly. I love it when you talk about Kirby and what he is up to. Pictures are bonuses. Glad he recovered from his mischief. Mitzy can be naughty too. Can leave any empty food containers that we plan to recycle out without thoroughly washing them first. Sometime she can be a lady though:
Ms. Sas, I said what I needed to say. Not something I enjoyed doing. I rather be silly than serious. Thank you! Hugs back to you.
I am blessed to have made friends herewho I am comfortable enough to...,.

Oh forgot to answer your questions. I am flying out on the 12th and will be back on the 27th. Will try to post photos when I am on land.
Night night. It's 1:00 am and the sleep fairy is out painting the town. Need to hit the sack as I need to get up early for work. I guess you all are in dreamland by now except.,,,, Good morning Feline.
