AARGHHH! Just finished the second half of my post and lost it!!!
2TA – I loved today’s message. It calmed me down when I was
in the MRI machine. How was your day today?Nettie – Pool, kitties, and fish-feeding – sounds like my
kinda day! Hope you get some good sleep tonight.Spookiesmom – looks like corn to me!!!
Welcome, mary625. Oh, yes, we do understand here. It may
seem crazy at times, but what you see is what you get, and we just love
everyone for it. May you have sweet dreams tonight.LeeA – of course you are insane, as are all of us who live
in hot climates and put heart, soul, and gazillions of dollars into
landscaping. I have been known to go out and hose everything off at 11 pm when
it is still 90 degrees… just so we can sit outside and listen to our waterfall
for a few minutes. What kind of landscaping did you do?~ ~ ~
Well, today was the MRI, and the first question they asked
me when I came out of the tube was “Are you dizzy?”Well, I wasn’t, but I was a
little unsteady. And I was kind of wobbly as DH insisted on driving to Vons to
return the moldy strawberries we bought yesterday. I wanted to wait in the car,
but it was hot.Now I just read an article that MRIs CAN make you dizzy, as the magnetic field disrupts the
fluid in the inner ear, causing motion sickness. Oh, great. I have four
different vestibular disorders. Had I read that prior to my appointment, I
might have chickened out completely. Now I think I’ll take a Valium and head off to bed!Nighty night, Owlettes!!!

Lee, cute name for a raccoon. Friends of ours have raccoons that come on there deck every night and eat cat food. We can watch them through the huge glass windows. Fun to observe them.
Mary625, welcome ! If you hang out long enough, our resident shrink, "Chevster" will have you fixed up in NO time. She is fond of chocolate cokes & pole dancing.
Tang......I was looking forward to Thursday, you & final chemo, me & my surgery for power port removal. We were reaching a milestone on the same day....I am so sorry this chit is never ending for you. I am confident that you will turn the corner soon and your treatments will continue, and you will be where I am, getting the port removed in 3-4 months. It seems that some ladies that are getting recon, sometimes get the ports yanked sooner. I did not want to do this in the summer, but, it was offered and I am thrilled to having it removed. It is such a reminder of this past year...
Night all...

Blessings, yes - lots of money spent on landscaping in both California and Arizona. This was new construction (house) so all the landscaping had to go in - soup to nuts - irrigation to plant material.
Re: MRIs - I've only had one (a few days after diagnosis) but I thought it was one of the most stressful parts of the diagnosis period. It was so loud. The sound alone made my head spin. OTOH, I was given a prescription for one Lorazepam prior to the procedure (I guess the breast surgeon was afraid I'd get addicted).
And don't you just hate it when fruit turns moldy so soon? We had that happen several times last summer.
Holeinone, we lived in an apartment when we had this raccoon. Young and stupid we were. We let it sleep with us. Good grief. It's a wonder we didn't end up with rabies. No wonder my mother thought I was too young to get married. Maybe she should have substituted "too young" for "too stupid." :-) Nowadays, I'd much rather watch them through glass, be it windows or the "glass" on a television screen.

Ha! I just logged on after I don't even know how many days since I have had a chance to sit at the computer! It's 2:44 am and I am on page 452! So I am throwing in the towel on even pretending to know what is going on with anyone!!
I just hope you are all well and things are going as you want them right now!
Sending happy thoughts to all! I miss you all and hopefully things will settle down and I can ketchup soon!
Guess who???

Hi 44444444's nice to see you again. Hope you'll be jumping in again soon.....and hugs back to you. Annie Mae and Snuggs are asleep. OMGosh Snuggs snores so loud I had to turn on the fan just to have white noise to drown out her snoring. Annie Mae still bumps into everything. It's like demolition derby in this house. I was reading thru some of the posts here regarding gardens and landscapes. Its so hot here where I live and the soil has a lot of rock in it so it's really hard to dig in the dirt and plant things. Plus, we have to conserve water do to drought conditions. I was looking at some pics from Susan and Chevy's yards and thinking of using planting pots that I can easily move around, that way I can put good soil in them and maybe grow some vegetables and herbs. Just need to get more iron infusions in me so I'll have some energy. I think I'm in zone 9 when I look at those gardening maps. Hugs to everyone, and I hope you are all sleeping well tonight. Miss you SAS, hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Owlettes
Just wide awake and thought I would see how every one is here.
Having wonderful time with the family and enjoy all the cuddles I am getting from my grand babies.

Such a nice pic Alyson.....and what cute little grand babies. You all look so happy
)0 -
Okay, beginning here at the end.... I see our "normal" one, Alyson! With her Gbabies! That is such a special time!
And then there is Littlepaws, with her 2 sleeping nuggets! So glad Annie Mae is doing well!!!!!
Yes... plant things in pots.... BIG pots... and then you can always replace or add to the dirt..... By the way, don't ever walk into a garden center and ask "Where is your dirt?".... They just look all disgusted at you and then say "WE DON'T HAVE DIRT, WE HAVE SOIL!!!!"
What a bunch of bitches they were!
And then I add coffee-grounds, crushed dried egg shells, Pearlite, dried crushed leaves, pine needles that we sweep up, and you can even add those "polymers" to hold the water in!
Now go figure THAT one out.... And I'm NOT tellin'! You guys and your "chachees" and whatever else you say in code.... And then I'm going on to try and understand how anyone thinks Johnson & Johnson is some kind of grass/weed/MJ or whatever! Looks like corn to me.
My GRANDson works for Johnson&Johnson, with DePuy Spine, and he's never heard of their Johnson grass!
Oh SORRY Tang! SOMEtimes you just can't get rid of stuff, even with the Doctors and all their know-it-all .... And you have to give it up and make an ER run.... HOPEfully they can figure it out, and get you home in a hurry.... I hope you are better!
I had looked up Vinnie a long time ago, because, well, YOU know.... and I did see his pages, with pictures, AND his family and WIFE! Guess there goes another one! Oh well......... sigh.....
22222nd.... If they got after him, they for sure would have gotten after me.... Ha!
Nettie, just go get some good shoes.... like Crocs.... You can't break your neck in them.... just don't go out of the house with them, or folk will laugh at you.... like me.... but I don't care...
Spookie.... It IS grass/weed/corn..... whatever!
Hey, good morning Mary! Good to see you here! I think it's safe to say we ALL either have, or had relationship problems.... don't feel bad... Just come here and blab.... like the rest of us.... WE'LL fix you up in no time... maybe even for the better.... or maybe not... just take care of yourself....
Yes, we understand..... WHAT do we understand? Are we supposed to be understanding something now?
Okay.... now wait till y'all see this....
So this is what you all mean? Chochees? Yes, I have lots.... but then it's just me... Ha, ha! I am the Queen of Nochees!
I could post a picture of something normal, but, well, you know....
Good morning JWow and Lee and Blessings!
And 444444444! Bout time you poked in here!
Where is the Cam? I don't thinks she is feeling well... maybe we should haul her butt to the Doc's! Come on Cammi..... talk to us!
xoxoxoxo

Morning ladies - I'm having my morning iced tea...
Today is a day for me (after I do a little house cleaning this morning). I've started a load of laundry, and will soon clean up the kitchen, vacuum and steam my floors. Then it's off to acupuncture, a pedicure and a haircut. If I can manage to squeeze in a massage I'm going to do that as well, but if not, I'll have one later this week.
I bought a few more plants for my yard yesterday and hope to get them in the ground today as well, but the probability is that they won't go in until tomorrow. Once I get them planted I'll probably spend some time weeding, as the front beds surely need it! Also I'm working on removal of a yucca. Why our predecessors planted one RIGHT next to the house is beyond me - they must have had no concept of the size they can reach - not to mention the density of their roots. This particular one has broken one of the underground sprinkler lines, and we must remove the rest of the roots before we can fix the sprinkling system in this area.
OK - time to get busy. Have a great day ladies!!

We could call it "PortoWaldo"..... It has to sound related...
No.... I can't go to a "home".... It takes too long to chachalong a new one.

Where is everyone? I think it's time for another tea party!

Ok, I've been having trouble with this site. Sometimes it takes forever to load a page. Sometimes you lose a post, and now I lost a whole group of you! After I posted my picture of the tea party, I then see a whole bunch of posts that weren't there earlier!
Glad to see everyone is still around!
Hope Tang is feeling better.
4sewhat, hope your new fin is swimming!
Chevy around here tchatches are knick knacks and things you collect. Usually little things you might get at a yard sale. You my dear, have Yard Art!
I love your birdbath! It is a very interesting yard! Didn't see your outdoor stripper pole though.

In addition to being behind (and NOT a behind) yet again, something's messed up: when I read a thread, it doesn't bring me to after my last or one seen but it's random. You all start talking about things I've missed a half page ago. Give a girl a break, I'm already confused enough!
While I get caught up on reading, here's a little somthing:

2ndTimer, I was having the same problem yesterday with this website, today all is normal.
Fiercest, I would love to join you at the tea party. Beautiful table, teapots & desserts.
Chevster, are YOU making up words now? What is a chachalong? Picking up the slack for Cami?
Cami, hope you are feeling better...no fun to be in pain.
Here is one of my flower beds....

Hi Everyone--I'm here almost.
Tang I'm so sorry u ended up in the hospital but the can gice u anti's quickly and hopefully u get this awful infection cleared up.
Welcome Mary we're here all day too so whenever u want to pop in and share we're here.
Blessings another words once u start thyroid meds u should always take them??? Geezze I didn't know that and never asked cuz my thyroid had no action at all so I was taking synthroid and after a while it was on the normal side and so I stopped. OH OH I'd better talk to my Dr.
4444 Im glad u popped in it's good to see you.
Susan good thinking, I thought
And all great pics to enjoy for everyone.Chevy I have to say with a small area u really have a lot of thangways (my words) but it does look lovely. And u have a knack for growin plants and cooking and poledancing. And BTW those crocs I loved them but they didn't love me--like 3 falls with them.
I know I'm out of sorts, like being out of M&M's it's cruel and I'm not feeling well, but I'm fine, actually just garbage stuff that's all. And they will not find cancer in my bladder so I'm not worried about that at all. So tht's not it.

Yes Susan... I admitted to it in an earlier post! Just can't stand to wear shoes when I'm on the mower and it's so hot! But I'll admit, the fall has made me extra careful when getting on and OFF!0 -
Well it ate my post. Trying again. Hot, very humid here. Nettie I can't even fathom using riding mower. I can't even use the edger and it's not that complicated. Think DD learned to drive on riding mower but she did use up the gas in lowest gear.
I have some zinnia seeds blooming, in big flat pot. Not so good with things in the ground, too many nasties and weeds. The cannas we planted are trying to come up, at least one variety. We were on the last side getting them in, hope not too late. Maybe getting some rain over the weekend, hope so. Plano area is on once every 2 weeks watering and I heard talk on TV today of going to no outdoor watering eventually. I think that means sprinklers not hand watering. I know our restrictions allow hand watering/drip watering at any time. My watering days are Thurs/Sunday. I seriously take issue with the Sunday. How am I to set a sprinkler/move it and go to church b4 10am and arrive fresh?

FBB - Love the "leakage". Right into my word files.
Speaking of those word files - I actually had to look for something in them. I was shocked, yes shocked to see how many pics I have stored from here. DH usually on his laptop so PC is my domain. I need to have a laugh/cry fest and go thru them. Think I'm going to spend some time on Zen to Zany.

Chevy you called me normal - you lot just don't know me as I am not normal if I was normal would I hang around here with you lot. Have been called quiet and subversive but not normal.
Have spent the day helping DD move. We did some work in the garden which is totally overrun. Think best thing will be to pull out all the plants in the front and start again. Will go and get plants tomorrow. The neighbours are so happy that the place is being cleaned up.
Hope I sleep tonight. Will check in later.

I just want to know how can ANYone fall off of Crocs? I mean Cammi, they are as wide as a boat.... like wearing snow shoes! and you fell off like 3 times? Just don't drink and walk.... Are you feeling alright? I mean really? Don't go around making' up more words.... I forgot what you called those yard things.... trinkalots? I'd have to go back a page, and you know what THAT means!
Yes.... ! Damnit, for whoever asked! Those animals and angels ARE watching my back door! So everytime I open the door, or look out the window, they are THERE! They don't move a lot, and are pretty quiet! So they can stay. I have to be able to see the fronts of them all.... because I don't go walking by them, so they stay in one place, facing one directions..... What IS this? Someone wondering why I face my animals like I do my canned-goods?
Alyson, I know you are a lot of fun also, Ha! But sometimes you act pretty much "normal!" YOU have been called subversive? I think you mean submissive..... Oh wait! Maybe that's either me or Cammi! Or both?
LittleGoats, I love that poem.... It's so true!

Yes, but on second reading it says a mouthful and hard to accept. I hope that no one takes it as personally directed to anyone. I like the owl and kinda like the saying. BUT and a big but - I'd find it hard to accept and follow well.
0 -
WHAT??? You have a big butt? What did you just say? I really like the part about the people that treat you right, are just special.... If you have to regret something, it just sits on your mind, until you can work your way past it... Make it better for yourself.... so you can sleep.
So do I have to analyze this for us? Ain't gonna happen.... Ha! I've almost believed that things happen for a reason... Well, they do, "if it fits".... When you look BACK on things, think of what possible reason you can think of for that happening....! Ah geez, now I sound like Cammi!
