    Holeinone / thanks for checking. Had another terrible back pain day. :-(. Rfa is in Tuesday. Fingers crossed.  Really really want some sort of life back. 

    Hello all.  Can't remember anything today so hope all are having a great day. 

    Hootie hoo 

  • Hi girls. Writing from jail again where I've been incarcerated since Wednesday. Things are kind of grim but I am determined to fight some more. They have agreed to let me go tonight and I'm hoping to go home with oxygen and get stronger to start treatment again. Had trouble connecting to internet at hospital, but I'll catch up at home and write a proper post.

    Love to you all and thank you for the prayers and positive thoughts. Need to keep the faith and keep believing. They left it up to me if I want to try treatment again with lots of negative outlook and doubting Thomas's. But if there is a glimmer of hope I've got to go for it. You girls are my strength.

    love,

    Kristine

    Miss Bird!  Of COURSE you have to hang in there!  If you don't we'll come and get you!  You KNOW that, right?  We are here everyday, waiting to hear from you.... and there is ALWAYS hope....!   

    Oh?????  Your name is Kristine?  With a K even!  Cammi, did you see that?   

     Okay, I think your "boos" keeps you because he loves you.... No other reason that I can think of! Winking

    He is like us!  He knows what you mean, even if you don't quite get it across right!    But we don't care....  You must be our little runt of the litter.  I heard that somewhere.  I always thought I was, because I was always so little....  they used to call me Mighty Mouse in grade-school though, because I could kick that ball further than anyone in the school...  sure it was a golf ball, but I COULD!  And I could bat that ball further than any of the boys in my class!    I was a champion dodge-ball player too!  I know....don't be jealous......

    FBB get strong now ha; hear and fight this fight, F*ck cancer y can do it we're here-Kristine that's the first time I heard your name--I like Fierce BB best cuz those bluebird are wickedly strong and fight like hell

    Chevy he has proven his love, no one can love me this much, REALLY--This is a business and I can't believe I just sent the last email what I said--it was just so easy. Now these are business and the customer lives on Elm Street u have to know the rest--no electric--he has nitemares where he lives--he needs help, he's trippin' and so is his box. Pretty much that. I think in some strange way I don't want this job, not that I don't need it, but some days it really wears on me, see what a wimp I am..

    Okay you guys, help me with this one..... She SAID he is trippin' and so is his box!  That has to mean something....  and YOU guys just go on, like you understand her!!!

    Is it just me?   And he has nightmares and he lives on Elm street?    She is living in her movie.

    What is that girl taking?  She CAN'T be serious, can she?    I mean sometimes we just go on and ON, but man, I am baffled....  Cammi, that's like what they put in water-beds, so you don't float all over the place.

    Oooooooooh that Cat is so beautiful!  Yes!  His legs and paws are long, because his Parents were Kangaroo's!  I read that somewhere!

    We love you miss BB!  I have a beautiful ceramic BlueBird right out there beside St. Francis!  Didn't I post a picture once?  So I'll think of you everytime I see him... or her.

    Photo

    I know it's blurry, but it wouldn't "paste" like it was supposed to, so I "expanded" it, and therefore it is blurry....  Sorry littleBB... But you are THERE!

    Okay, I figured out I would open with Chrome, instead of either IE or AOL, and I could DO it!  Sometimes I  just amaze myself!

    We are walking up to our Neighbors house a little later...  Taking her a few more cinnamon rolls!  She is moving to the Home Monday, and so far, so good!  She said she has resigned herself to the fact that she has to leave, and I think the stress of the last  6 months is getting better.......That makes me so happy!  She even LOOKED better yesterday....

    Okay..... signing off for now.......roger-wilco..... and good-night Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are!

    imageKristine, FBB, has given me her address, for those who would like to send a card through snail mail...

    Sas, you can continue with your idea, but I asked her if she was comfortable giving her address out to us and I have it. PM me if you want to send a card of support.

    Made a huge stack of pancakes this morning. Izzy woke up around oh 730 asking, or should I say begging for them. *sigh*

    They're eating and I'm hiding in the bedroom with coffee hahaha!

    FBB-I'm thinking of you and prayed for you after reading your post last night. I'm worried about you ((hugs))

    Love the garden pics!

    ((hugs))

    Hole-in one, I have FBB's address, but didn't have permission to give it out, I was waiting for a call back. But she went into the hospital. This works better though b/c you aren't limited on PM's, I could only respond to 4 Pm's in 24 hours. That would take days to do with this group. Good work GolfGirl........

    We will drop the idea of doing a thread for now b/c H-I-1 has gotten  the problem resolved.

    BLondie LOL jealous of what---Back to Per-Prius pain level (YAY), new seinna, or that I got my precious chair back after ten months. Only kidding. I know it's the pain thingy Thanks. Dumb to write about a chair, but it was one of the first really good pieces that Dh and I bought in 1975. It was brass, in the bentwood style and upholstered leather. Way prettier than the standard bentwood. I wanted to hand it down to DS. The electroplater had it for ten months. I thought it wasn't going to get returned.  HOW are you doing? Lungs better. Pain? The Twins? Did you move?

    Blessings hoping your heads improving. Stay out of the trash--- okay? Really nice explanation about addiction. 

    Chevy, you are so nice to be taking care of the neighbor. It's almost over. She will be someplace safer for her soon :)

    Cami, I mostly always understand you, and if I don't I just feel good reading you. It all works.

    Have a lovely day and weekend everyone BBL :)

    So glad you managed to avoid that glass table! It was out to get you! And the chair fit, and it's almost done. Now you need another reason to go to DS.

    good morning ladies.  Glad someone had fbb address and permission to give it out. Thanks.  

    Hope everyone has a great day today last day of cool weather today for us. I have do enjoyed the high being in the 70's. Wow. Still having way to much pain to get out and do something but I have had the ac off and windows open.  3 more days Til rfa. Praying from relief.  

    Hootie hoo

    Chevy - I assumed Cami meant by "box" not working or whatever she meant something about his electrical. But goodness knows with Cami what she meant.

    Spent yesterday shopping. Found a clothing outlet with stuff for $1.75 (goes to a $1 on Mon/Tues). Only problem is no dressing room and clothes are really not sorted much. I bought 5 pairs of capri type pants. All washed - may wear one tonight. Only 1 did not fit and I only bought it because I loved it - knew it was just a little too small. Then WallyWorld, Lowes (more bug spray) and reg. grocery here in town.

    My turkey breast is about thawed - doing a bit of cold water thawing in the sink. Have to get it on to bake shortly. It's 8# the upper limit is 9# per Butterball. Want to send some home with DD when she comes today.

    We are going out for Mexican Food (Pappasitos) and then to friends' house for ice cream. I have to make a blueberry topping but I don't think too difficult.

    Yes Patty I too have enjoyed the cool weather. I have not seen a current lake level report - know official readings come out on Tuesdays I think. I think we're supposed to be near 100 by end of next week. Praying your rfa does its job next week.

    I did see where some parts of Texas got too much rain waaaay to fast. Did that affect you?

    Awwwww the doggies. I wish my idiots would snuggle like that!

    patty one of the cool things about RFa is you know pretty quick whether it works versus epidurals thattake days to longer. :)

    LMg's The Holter monitor has been pretty much surpassed by the newer monitors. I do remember when the holter was invented. LOL 1970's. We were so impressed. It came out of the space program as oodles of otherthings..... Weather here so bad thursday night that even Dini went hiding. Very rare. Schats heads for cover with everything......Did you get the hay in! Dry?

    Chevy, a desktop PC may not be as useful with 8.1, but this 360 it is very good.  The 360 means the screen can rotate 360 degrees. Being able to do touch screen, keypad, and mouse all simultaneously is so convenient . I know people mentioned turning the 8.0 or 8.1 back to a 7. but rather than completely doing that if you put a tile in the start screen for the desktop you can use it both ways. See I'm learning. My techbuddy did it when I had them do the setup. Didn't realize at the time what a big deal it was. I saw him insert it, but can't explain the steps to do it. Then when I went to use it, I caught on.

    If I learn to do the split screen thing. That will be great. It's designed to do it. I just don't know the steps.

    Enerva, sweet pics, any new pics with your handiwork? Most importantly, how are things with your sister?

    FYI, Our Smarrty has started a tips type thread. She started it a bit ago and didn't tell us or I missed it. I'd link it, but on the couch. YOOHOO SMARRTY, can you C&P your link here?

    Spookie - We got about 2" of rain. But NE and due N of us 30 miles or so got 8-9" then up towards the OK/TX line they had around 11" all in about 5-6 hours. Good for some lake levels but some NW still hurting. Lots of flooding but not in the cities, more rural.

    Enerva, I love the smaller pinkish doggie.

    12 pages behind (!!!) but finally caught up.  I did read 300+ posts and while I can't remember exactly what everyone said, I do know some need ((hugs))..  

    Someone asked how to respond to rude personal questions.  My fave answer is a classic old-South response (TY otter): "Hon, bless your heart ... what would make you go and ask me a personal question like that?".

    Susan, loved the tomato pix.  I'm about 4 hours from Chicago, it's only a half-tank of gas there and back, so would drive to meet you (and anyone else in the area!) some Sat/Sun.  The Art Institute is open daily from 10:30 to 5:00.  

    ♥ to all

    Good morning, Owlettes! At least it's still morning here. 

    Sassy, is this the thread you're thinking of? The one Smaarty started?

    Enerva, what sweet dogs!

    Glad someone has FBB's address. My first DX got lots of cards and notes (remember, this was 1996, in the dark ages before Internet), put them in a binder. During that first year good read thru to cheer me up, it really helped.
