Just extra lazy and very floopy so I'll be back and I have to catch up with everyone, cuz I do care about all of u. So please forgive me for being MIA but will be back soon with more of my antics and soap box preaching.

Cami,
Drop in when you can.....
We love you & sometimes worry.....me being the offical worrier....
Speaking of, MammaRay.......Dutchie......?...many others.....
House is sold, I made a deposit on a rental home. In the process of figuring out what to do with a lifetime of stuff. We have a storage & the house we rented has a 3 car garage & is almost 2,000 sq. ft. I think we will be able to take/keep stuff we will never use/need again. Heartbreaking in some ways, makes sense in others. My DS is not happy with me. He had convinced DH that we needed to pull the plug on the sale, take the house off the market & remodel. I had to be the tough one.
Sas, blue glass is cool. I will look it up. Off to shower & meet a friend for lunch. Then getting this hair colored....needs it a week ago....yikes...

Glad to see Cammi, even if a shortie.
Congrats on the sale, sorry for the decluttering or reorganizing. A lot of work

Hang over ugh......................0 -
I have never had a hang-over in my life..... I just didn't like any kind of alcohol, so that is why, probably!
My Dad and Grandpa only drank whiskey, and it made them oh so lovely.... I hated the smell, and how it turned them into "someone else." And I WORKED at Coors for over 18 years! Then FIL was the same.... always drunk.... DH did his share also, at one time.... It's just hard when you don't drink, to try and understand why people have to get chit-faced, to "have fun".......
That was the reason I gook a LOA one time 13 years ago..... Couldn't handle it anymore..... but it all changed, when priorities got straightened out, and he realized in order to keep me, he had to give up "IT"...... At least most of it.....
When people are around drinking all their lives, they see that as being "normal" behavior ..... but when they grow up, you realize there are choices, and you can either be like them, or follow your own star..... and not use either drugs or alcohol to make you feel better....
My Mom and Grandma lived with it all their lives..... Mom always said "I'd rather have him part of the time than none at all"..... So that was her choice, but made us kids miserable growing up around it. My Brother doesn't drink either....
I like a glass of wine once in awhile, or a White Russian..... but that's about it.... I'm just scared to death to be around someone drunk..... I learned that when I was little.
CAMMIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! You came back, almost! Yes, just pop in to say hello sometimes.... like every 6 months or so! Sorry you have your health issues..... You sure it isn't some STD or something similar? Herpes? I think they take Pennicillin for that.... don't they? Is the rest of your family alright?
Spell check is not working on here through AOL, but YOU guys know what I am saying.....

I can't drink ANY thing any more. I got so chit faced about 40 years ago, took almost a week to sober up. Since then, if I try alcohol my throat swells and I can't breathe. Breathing is a good thing.
So now I'm the designated driver, and it can be fun watching those who are drinking act like ..........

I remember a gal I worked with, told me she had a few drinks one night, and had to go to the Emergency room for alcohol poisoning.... Don't know if she ever drank again.... I won't go out at night anymore, around family or friends... because that temptation is always there, and I can't do it anymore..... I mean even if everyone else is drinking....
I remember being spanked for no reason, screamed at, and kissed by Dad's dirty old friends.... and the women in the family always crying, and going after Dad in jail.... and always making up......
There is a line they cross, and no turning back.... I just remember beligerent, mean, screaming, and falling down drunk..... So we don't go out at night....
Dinners are fine on Week-ends, but always home at night.... So I'm like always the one to make sure we don't go where all that drinking is.......... When we are in Orlando, there would be hell to pay if anyone drank too much.... And both Daughter's make sure everyone has been told.
When I went to a family counselor one time, I said "I don't believe it is a disease.... that they can QUIT, if they just stop drinking..." Period. Cancer is a disease.... You can't give that up, and be okay.... THAT is a disease that stays with you.... you can't "quit" .... But I was told Alcoholism is considered a disease so Insurance will pay for it.... Same with smoking .... it is not a disease.... neither is alcoholism,.... You don't "catch" that.... You do it because you want to....
Wouldn't it be nice if it were that easy to quit cancer, or diabetes, or any other life-threatening disease?
Okay..... sorry..... I know we all have those days when we just think WTF???

My DH said I could never be an alcoholic since I can't stay awake long enough to drink enough to be an alcoholic! Plus he swears I stop breathing when I have even 2 glasses of wine.. He said he had to push me to get me to breathe I would have such long silences between breaths if I had alcohol. So I'm with you spookie I am the designated driver. I hate the taste of beer, but a nice glass of wine once in a while is very nice. I love wine grapes and cheese.. ooohhh very fine. I like that a lot.
Weird day today.. it gets dark, cloud burst, sunny... dark... rain or drizzle. Mags your avatar picture looks great. Sassy I very much like the glass platter, neat design. I got the burn marks off that little bedside table I thrifted. I sanded the hell out of it, put 3 coats oil stain and varnish and dang if it doesn't look great! My DD likes it too.. now to let it dry. I need to sand the one inside shelf now, Rock Maple made in Cambridge Mass.
Wouldn't it be nice to just forget cancer and feel as good as you did before diagnosis and surgery and drugs. Just to have that innocence back where you are happily oblivious! Sweet. Cami please get into a good match with Chevy.

I'm not a big drinker myself, but I never saw what is so fun about getting drinking to excess.

Chevy- I used to be a big party girl in my 20's and 30's. My friends used to say to me "we love when you visit, but our livers are glad when you go home." OIY! Those days are over though. Occaisonal beer or glass of wine. We know alchohol is not our friend in the post bc world.
Ducky- happy birthday!
Cami- hey!
Blondie- hope you are doing well tonight
Footprints- keeping you in my prayers always
Hoping everyone had a good day!

What I learned in the last few days on this thread:
The word chit. Ok Ms. Chevy, you can't come here andwash my mouth with soap because I did not say it...only typed it. Could not figure out what PITA means until today.
Ms. Sass likes to collect glasses and crystals besides shopping.
2nd is of few words just like Patty and Ms. Blondie, except she enjoys posting silly pictures to make others laugh or feel good.
Jazzy loves jazz and prays.
Mommy is also of few words and she loves her Princess more than her Jackson because she talks more about Princess.
Susan and Rose have dysfunctional family members just like me.
Ms. Teka is almost like 2nd...popping in here and there with pictures and words.
Ms. Spookie can be mischievous also just like Ms. Chevy but in a more subtle way.
Ms. Smaarty loves to quilt and lives somewhere near me.
Hi1 has to move soon...so stressful.
Goats lives in a rural area somewhere in Texas.
I know I am missing somebody. Forgive me. Oh I remember now. I am glad you ladies found Cami.
Jen and Phyllis lost their gallbladders to science just like I did
Mag just got a haircut and new avatar picture
MammaRay needs to be out and enjoy the sunlight caressing her face.
The word sorry is not to be used nonchalantly and when I do use it, it needs to be from the heart. What I also learn is that I don't really know how to comfort those whose shoes I have not walked in. I can only listen and try to understand what the person is going through. BUT, I don't like it when I can't offer any wisdom or say anything to comfort a hurting sister or to lessen her pain.
Allergy season has begun. It hurts to sneeze or cough when you have an overfilled expander. Zowchie!!!
Edit to add
Dutch is a true insomniac- who organizes tools in the wee hours?

loveroflife,
I am impressed. You have nailed it, to be honest, I have to go back & read. I am behind, and I do not know about Susan & Roses family dysfunction. My SIL told me yesterday, that her hubby, my BIL, did not know that my DB, had no teeth. You read it correctly, no teeth.
Seriously, don't we all have some family dysfunction? It is universal.
Sorry you popped in when I am grumpy with moving chit. Much better though, I am not in total Cancer driven stress mode. I should be, but I am taking a break from panicville. My RO told me last week, no worries about Cancer returning in your Breast. Much more likely in your bones or soft tissue..... Cool, now I can relax...

Good morning, ladies. I'm just checking in at 1:15am. I was working on organizing my tools. Who does this into the wee hours?

Loveroflife (has Chevy abbreviated that to LoL yet?), guess that's pretty true for me lately.
Started to fall asleep around 1:30,made the mistake of turning on the iPad to check FB. Best mistake in a long time, DD just posted she got accepted to the nursing program of one of the two universities she really wanted (Cal State LA). She applied to around 20 programs, happy she got this. Sad I have to find out that way, oh well, at least I found out. Now I'm wide awake.
Dutchy, I can relate

Woke up to being a pillow for Jackson. Of all the dogs in the world, he's the best. Not long after I woke up and was contemplating getting up, the insanity insued because his "sister" came in and decided it was play time! He enjoys playing with his baby sis!

OH WOW LOVERLY! YOU NAILED US ALL! Dang girl, that was GOOD! Haaaaaaaaaaahhaa!
Man, it's hard for me to remember all of us and what we Do...! "Goats lives in a rural area somewhere in Texas".............. Can you hear me laughing? You forgot to say "she has goats".... would you please correct that? (I mean she actually does!)
And "Mommy loves Princess more than her Jackson".... Oh man, your whole post was hysterical! And you conveniently forgot to say I pole-dance and feed chickens.... You left out half my LIFE!
I printed it off.... so I could remember who we all are!
Okay now SAVE that, and add onto it every once in awhile.... or whatever I just said....
I love to wake up and laugh....! Did any of you watch that Bruce Jenner thing last night? I refused! Here I thought he was the only normal one in that whole fam damily, and come to find out, he is screwed up even more than the REST of them!
I mean gay is gay, so who cares, but to be this world re-known super hero of an athlete, and then get mixed up with THEM, and having lots of kids, and then saying .... "oooops, sorry, just kidding.... I really am a girl".....
Oh MAN! Gives us all a bad name.... And then to go through all that crap just to be like a girl????? Am I just old, or WTH???
And the Stuff those stupid women DO on there, WITH their family, is just outrageous and over the line of decency.... I mean I'm not a prude, but those people make me look like a Saint! Me and Cammi!
Oh, okay.... HiHo's Brother has no teeth... was it him? Probably never came in after he was born.... And your Doc told you THAT? Is HE on drugs? Just a little ray of sunshine that guy!
Oh.... Dutchess the organizer is up... oh wait, no she isn't...
2222222222 ! Okay, we need to get Daughter and spank her.... She will learn, but not before it breaks your heart.... DD's Son is doing this to her for the time being.... They BOTH need a spanking....
222222222222... ! Hah! LOL.... that's a good one! I just call her Loverly.! Go back to bed.
I kept trying to call Theresa last night...(my older neighbor , whoisinassistedliving) .... SHE WASN'T THERE!!!! I just knew....
Finally Judy, her DIL called me and said Eddy won't be with us much longer. They took Theresa over to the Care Center, to say good-by... Man, I just get chills.... I KNOW he is old.... I KNOW we all have to go, but losing someone, no matter how old just hurts... I hurt FOR her....
I just wish we could get a shot... someone could give you a shot, to end your life when there is just no hope... like we can do with our pets....
She is 91, and to hear her crying ...... I just hope Judy calls, and it won't be Theresa.....

Organizing might not be the right word. Sorting might better describe it. I have the tools sorted into show boxes right now. I went to bed at 3 am and up at 7am. Wth? I'm having lunch worth my daughters today and a birthday party for my 3 y/o nephew tomorrow.
