OOPs, Missed waving at Wren , Our pattypepper, And Maddy, paws , and HoleinOne waving.
Got home from DS's spent around 45 minutes trying to figure out why no power in new computer. Went through cable company and then to best buy Geek squad. DUH new computer doesn't have lights above keypad like old one. Geek guy says "hold the power button down for 15seconds. You can start laughing. Yup, forgot about the power button. It's in a new place.
Chevy, good luck. Is it Windows 8.1????
DS isn't happy with MOM. I decluttered his kitchen and cleaned house.

hey there all! Am officially so many pages I can't catch so I'm jumping in.
Spookymom, I'm envious! Would love to meet both you and Sassy!
Patty, how was your appt? I have several drs like that: they usually run late because they don't use a timer when seeing their patients. They spend time with me so it seems fair to be that way with all patients (compared to just poor time management). Don't like waiting, so I try for the morning or after lunch appointment.
Sassy, have you got new 'puter working yet? I'd say device but you'd be thinking something else.
Who else got the new 'puter? Running yet?
Smaarty, I'd like to be seeing Vinnie, too, but maybe next year?

Maddy it's Chevy. Bet she's ready by morning. SHE'S PROBABLY tamed it already. Me it's a week and I can't think power button. It.'s 8.1. I'm poking it, swiping the screen upside & downside right and left, tapping space bar, rolling the mouse wheel. Just like the instructions said, to wake it up. Thinking this thing is dead.
Brilliant.
Little goats got the chair yay. Only been since October. It didn't get brass electroplating. But at least I have it. Black powder coat.
Is that enough hay for the year. How many goats are left. Bucky? Why do the males stink so much? Pheromones¿

Sorry, Sassy, had to skip a couple pages. Had this long post the other day on dad's laptop, he has lots of programs that run background and wiped out the post. Hopefully will get some time this weekend.

hey SAS. Waving back. So you declutter your house or your sons house? Reminds me of when my dh and I had first got together. His mom lived out of state and it was her first visit. She rearranged my kitchen and my clothes in drawers including underwear, lingerie etc. I was totally pissed !!!
Maddie so glad to see you. Did you get your mom settled in new place yet ? My mo appt today was 9:15. Course gotta be there 15 min early for lab. I got out at almost 1pm. Then had to pay a few bills and stop by pharmacy. Home and off to bed with a pain pill. Long day like that usually puts me down for a couple days with excruciating back pain. Course awake now. Ugh. Cancer count down to 42. Yes !
Chevy - howd the puter setup going?
Fbb - thinking of you. You CAN do this.
Dang. I can never remember who said what so hugs to everyone who needs them.
Anyone else up ?
Hootie hoo

You guys, I love my new Dell! It is faster than the speed of light! BUT putting all my programs onto a flash-drive, and then thinking I could just put them on this NEW one, did not work! Yes, it is Windows 8, and I really LIKE that, but I just need some of my other files, like Documents, and my MUSIC from my iTunes! I downloaded iTunes, but my libraby isn't anywhere to be found.... sooooooooooo I'll call their 800 number today!
I might just set this old computer up somewhere else, with a monitor & keyboard, and see how I can transfer files to a disk, and THEN put them on here!
But my brain is tired of "thinking" so much.... Ha!
I just can't believe how FAST everything is, and nothing "freezes" or "drops" or raises hell on here....... so far!
So 222222222222.... I mean Maddy... YES, my other devices are all working perfectly,
and soons' I get THIS one figured out I will be in bidness! Ha, ha.... Sassy, You and your "entendres"..... I'll bet that MEANS something... right? I'll bet that means something with a double meaning inferred? Right? See, you gals thought I couldn't think right this morning.... and NO..... I can't! How did you get that upside-down question mark? By turning your lap-top upside down and hitting it? I at least got it all connected! Tower, Century Link Modem, Printer, Speakers, Monitor & Mouse & Microphone... I'm TRYing to sound really intelligent here, and you guys are sitting there laughing and pointing your fingers....
(couldn't find the power button)........................ And MINE didn't even come with any damn directions! EITHER!!!! It just ASSUMED!
Cammi, so are you proud of me? Miss 44444444444 was saying something about our "devices".... Like she knows.....

Oh Grasshopper u have proved u'rself to all of us. We are all proud of u. U are a wonder and I wonder big time how u knew what Sas meant, cuz I didn't. Really all I've heard about windows 8 was all crummy stuff, but see u've already mastered this and will finish mastering it and then go into the world and see what u can do.
Oh those doggies were so cute, but u all know me what does that have to do with the Vortex? or what they are calling the vortex, what I call weather which u can never count on. BTW today we're getting storms already started so it'll be a no swim day for me. Like I do it all the time. And I use the term swim, but it's just to move my legs with a floaty that I'm holding onto with my arms and if I let go the water takes me backwords into the water and I'm drowning til someone saves me and it's a 4 foot pool. So I can't go myself nor can I get on that stupid ladder my self
Oh gals I hate this feeling that I have, u ALL have to feel better and get better, then u'll fly the nest, but I'd rather have u happily fly on u'r own than not feel good.

mornin' owls! IDK why but thought of us when I saw this cartoon. Just keep swimming, the 'puter takes us to our island retreat, where there's room for all (not just one guy under a palm tree). ♥

morning all...
Badger, cute image
Chevy, WTH ???? I have no clue what that is, a guy floating with a pipe holding up his head? Makes no sense to me....
I am back home, the beach was a wonderful retreat. Playing in a golf tourney today & tomorrow. Meeting SIL & niece for breakfast...
Tang, where you are right now is when I crashed & burned. It's super common to struggle when chemo is done. Have you started rads? I think you were asking about lotions.
FiercestBlueBird, one day at a time, is there any pain pills you can take? You are in my thoughts often.
BBL......going to be late, It was easier when I was bald to get ready, now I have helmet head....lol...

chevy, so proud of you. I knew you would get it. hope it,s 8.1 versus 8. Likely is. The upside down question mark? On the kindle each key has the main symbol, then the second symbol is in the top right corner. When you hold the key for several seconds other symbols come up. I decided to be silly and use it.
Wonder who uses upside down question marks? this Hp, when the key is held, 8 symbols come up. Some pretty strange. Varies per key.
heheh entendre. funny girl chevy, you do them all the time too.
badger wouldn't that be nice. No care or worries, have someone take care of everything. Like House Eleves in Harry Potter.
Cami the dogs were from a video during the winter vortex. Love that video. Pure joy. The Kalamazoo owners of the doggy day care, described the dogs on a rainy day and the ground is muddy. Oh my.
Jwoo Rotflol. I have finally learned that lesson and the new lesson to turn it on.
Slept no pills Yay.bbl have to find food

This is Bradley again, 8 days old. They brought him over for a visit on Thursday night, and I totally forgot I had a meeting to go to.

This is a response to someone by PM that has thoughts that I felt were appropriate for all of us.
From the inception of IT in never was just a night thread, I know I was there in the beginning and have posted ever since. In Dec.2013, I formally announced that it wasn't a night thread. Please reread sentence in topic box.
My four week break was hell. I was outside the MATRIX. If you can please watch the MATRIX with Keneau Reeves, the first episode. Think of KR as me outside the Matrix,seeing everything happening and NOT being able to interact to some really horrible things happening.. For example, Tangs infection. The antagonists in the Matrix are the Mods. What I'm suggesting is that there is a conceptual comparison. A several time viewing might be helpful. The goal is to better understand human behavior not to ruffle the mods. Because of that whole experience, I better understand human behavior. So, even though it was a difficult experience I am better for it.
But that is only a small component of what I am trying to convey
"some members don't even bother to read prior posts". IT moves so fast, it is very hard to keep up. But each that posts wants to still be involved with the thread. They each manage it in their own way. I know I want to respond to everyone, but memory of each post flies away as I read. My observation is that each posting person has particular strengths. When something is posted by another member that speaks to their or my strength, we can and want to help by posting to that particular "situation". Sometimes the best we can give is a hug or thinking of you comments because we can't help solve an issue, but care a great deal.
Sometimes our posts are just an update of what's up with us because that's all we can manage at the moment.
The thought that the thread now is only like another thread and that people crosspost. Whether it is or not, or whether people crosspost is not important. Wherever we are at the moment we post is somehow important to us.
Threads evolve. Those that post on a thread change as their life circumstance or interest change. For example, there are a number going through active treatment. They naturally would seek those in active treatment because of there need to understand what is happening to them. That is one of the beauties of BCO. There is a thread for almost everything. If we can't find a thread, we create one. Just as I did with this thread. I can't see the topic box, but fairly sure I didn't create it in the middle of the night.
I'm posting this also, on IT without any identifiers because it speaks to thoughts I have seen expressed by others.
We are here because we want to be, and we manage the best we can L&H&P's sassy.

Hi someone expressed a concern about above. I've met my limit for PM's for today. The above isn't meant as a negative. But the person's concern indicates it may be perceived that way. Sorry, You know I can sometimes sound to serious.

Hi Sassy, limit's suck! Yup, you're serious when it comes to info, otherwise funny too. Hoping all is right with the world (because I'm living in craziness right now).....

Wish I had a magic wand to make it all better.
That's for everyone! Gentle ((hugs)) ♥ to all

I know I can't respond to everyone's post. No way no how. But I do read them all unless my internet hiccups which is rare. I go back to the previous page frequently. I know I could be better at lending an ear, giving a hug, a fist bump. We all get wrapped up in ourselves but that is the way we are made and wonderfully made I believe with all my heart. I also believe you cannot, not no way not no how, take care of anyone else very well if you're not taking care of yourself. Doesn't mean you can't care or express that care but self care is #1 primo. Nope Sassy you created it in the afternoon Apr 8, 2011 12:45PM.
Gosh Saster wish it was enough hay. Maybe 3 months, maybe if we get more rain and I can graze them a bit more. But have seen 2 other ads on Craigslist today so maybe one of them will have hay on Tuesday. But am down to 11 - won't share sad details but it was just their time. Mr. Bucky still here. Don't see that I'm going to sell him now. Too afraid he might be shooting blanks - they start doing that early. I think he is nearly 7. No not pheromones. Males pee on their beards to attract females. Gosh knows it would not attract me. I could go shave it off but the fight is just not worth it.
Hah Spookie told you so. The high predictions for next week are slowly rising. But today it was only 96 again. It might have hit 100 at DFW. Nice breeze though.
Smaarty - remind me your relationship to that cutie patootie Bradley.
Saster - can you get PMs tonight or is all PM in/out limited?

In case I have hurt anyone's feelings by ignoring their posts - it has been unintentional. This thread moves SO FAST sometimes, that I simply cannot keep up. I try to read everything, but if I'm 5 or 6 (or more) pages behind, I know that I won't manage it and just skip to the end.I ALWAYS respond to PM's, though, so if I've ignored you (unintentionally) and it's something you actually do care about a response from me, please PM me and also please accept my abject apologies for missing your original post.

LMG, wWELL very glad peeing on beards didn't evolve in our men. I won't be able to quite look at a goat again LOL. With Mr Bucky, I know you didn't really want to sell him, so, all has turned out well? You did mention you had another male I think, but you didn't ever say his name that I remember. If that memory is correct, then mr bucky must be special. With the girls do you milk them? Cheese? Bluebird had goats too, but had to part with them. Goat people are attached. How would you describe why? Glad you find craiglist connection. Sounds like it could get pricey to feed your babies.
When I started IT we did 14 pages in 36 hours. It was like a chat room, but then it slowed down. My head was spinning cuz I was there for most of it.
I can receive Pm's, but my response in 24 hours is 4. So, far hasn't been an issue. An issue would be if it was a nursing /medical question that someone needed a now response. But if that ever happened I'd figure something out.
Off to eat

Gardengumby, I feel the same way. I just pop in every so often, try to read as many posts as I can, and just leave a post myself. So if I ever missed responding to anyone, I apologize. This thread moves fast.
Hey 2nd, hope you're doing ok. It's hard to live in craziness.
Sas, I didn't know there was a limit on pm...Geez....
I'm kicking back and resting today.
Hugs to all of you on this thread. I hope you're having a nice Saturday. I'll check back in later.

I found Cami, ol Chevster needs her eyes checked. She is getting stuff confused, but we are impressed with the new technology...
Sas, no idea about what you are talking about & that's ok....
Badger, we all forget about someone, or a event...
Baby Bradley is Smaarty GGS.....and he is a doll baby....lucky Smaarty.
Have a good evening....
Blessings hope you are healing...
