    I had a chest X-ray a few months ago, because I smoke. And I'll admit to being worried too. It was clear. Yea for us!!!!!

    Spookiesmom- have you ever wanted to quit? My Mom and brother simply love smoking. They would not give it up. Some folks enjoy it. I quit in 1989 weaned myself off... very hard. I do know some who used the nicotine patches and swear they work. It's a very expensive habit.

    My brother bought a machine and buys the tobacco loose, wrappers and filters and rolls his own. Apparently it's crazy cheaper to do that and ends up being a nicer smoke. You can pick your own tobacco and roll just what you like. He keeps a box (from a name brand cigarette) and just fills it up with his home made cigarettes. Of course the tobacco companies don't want people to know they can make a cigarette themselves. He makes all my Mothers cigarettes too and cut their bill for smoking by 2/3. Not that I am advocating smoking but if you make your own at least you know what is in it.

    I am glad your xray was clear both you and Jazzy.

    Loveoflife- the post of the dog was so funny. I hope you feel better tomorrow and are on the mend with great results.

    Did you know George Clooney was in a sitcom called ER in 1984? He played an orderly called Ace. It also starred Elliot Gould and Conchata Ferrell (from Two and a Half Men) as the head nurse.

    Dutchie, George was a pediatrician in the ER drama I watched. (dr. Ross ) I will have to google it, cause now I am confused. The show I am remembering was on in the late 80s...

    Chevester, thanks for the lesson on labeling the little tubes. DH has had that wax removal stuff out, same shape as eye drops. Allergy time for me. Holy crapoly, that stung...

    My sisters, my mother, and i are going out by Cashion to get plants at the Amish greenhouse on Saturday. I'll get some tomato and pepper plants and what ever flowers I find appealing.

    Google it Holeinone. I know the ER you're talking bout. It was a drama but this was a sitcom.

    Sas, I know what toy mean about the typing. For some reason autocorrect took the L out of holeinone. That makes it sound like it's not about golf.

    Dh started with a stomach bug yesterday. Some vomiting , lots of d , and small fever. Sleeping non stop. He will like never miss work because dh feels bad. He's a duck it up and do it kind of guy. He has been flat in bed Or on the pot. I have been trying to keep him locked in the bedroom. I don't want it !!!! No no no. Feel like I am not doing a great job taking care of him even though he always does for me. I am scared. Me and dh may have to leave and stay at a motel.

    Sassy- Maybe you should treat yourself to a regular laptop... save the aggravation. BTW my smoking brother has zero money and my other brother (gustapo non smoker who holds the purse strings) buys the tobacco,sleeves and filters - so it is only tobacco. :-) Although might make my Mom more mellow and compliant... now there's a thought. It's not legal in Florida is it? It turns legal here in July.. treating the same as alcohol. It should be interesting.

    Anybody??? And you gals call yourself OWLETTES???? Waiting for the Norco to kick in so I can fall asleep. Feel like I was hit with baseball bat or something. Sleeping in my recliner because it's less difficult to get up. The daily self care is a challenge. This is a reminder for me not to take anything for granted

    Patty, quarantine your DH!!!You can't afford to pick up what he has. Poor guy.

    HI1, ouch!!! Ear drops in the eye? Ms. Chevy has great advise about labeling. Hope your moving is coming along and you are not too stress.

    MS. BLONDIE, THINKING ABOUT YOU. HOPE DOC CAN HELP YOU WITH YOUR VISION. I AM INSPIRED BY YOUR STRENGTH....GOING WITH YOUR FAMILY FOR THE KOMEM WALK

    Dutch, you are done with the frame?

    Ms. Chevy, I know you will be the first one to chirp. How are your plants doing?

    A few seconds after they injected me with the anesthetic, I noticed a change in my hearing ( I knew that I was going to be out soon) and wanted to say good night to my surgical team, but could not utter any words. Then, I thought about Ms. Carol...how frustrating it is for her. Glad to hear that she is going home. Hoping they will continue to help her recover.

    Dang I am still awake!! Norco is not working. Ms. Sass, would you share some of your green with me. I will have to chew it though cuz don't know how to takeit the other way.

    Blondie- I bet it's the morphine. I was on it for days with my big abdominal surgery. It takes away the worst pain but very hard to focus. I am glad they are giving you good pain management.

    Yes, George Clooney as Dr. Ross on ER, loved him in that show. He was also an extra on The Facts of Live back in the 1970's.

    Oh Jazzy, you awake before Ms. Chevy?? How is your breathing? Advair should kick in a few days

    KSusan, you our new friend?? Don't believe these people here. They call themselves insomniacs, but they all are sleeping. I don't have insomnia, but I am up. Isn't it ironic? I think Jazzy is up but she is busy with something else.

    Loveroflife-I fell asleep early, and woke up early! Let the day begin!

    Breathing is getting better. I have had a couple treatments already. Do you have asthma too? Normally I have few problems with mine, especially living out here in the desert. But it is all the rain and humidity. As I like to say rain is good for the earth and my skin, but the humidity brings on the asthma.

    There she is! Better type fast on this iPhone b4 someone takes the spot.

    Jazzy, I don't have asthma. I would get a panic attack. My older daughter has exercise induced asthma and hubby had it when he was young.I also have a few friends whose kids have bad asthma. Glad to hear you are breathing better

    Okay, I'm HERE! What choo guys doing all bright eyed and bushy-tailed this morning?

    And so Sass wants us to believe it is her WHATever, and not her typing!!! Hah! I don't get spell-check when I log in with AOL, BUT I do pretty damn good for an old person, right? You just have to show it who's boss.... Don't let that thing control YOU missy! What's so hard about proof-reading, I ask? Cammi and Sass didn't tie their little star around any spelling angel, did they? But it's okay.... I'll be polite for the duration of this post... maybe.

    Yes, a desk-top for Sass... And candy cigarettes for Spookie.... What ELSE can I do this morning?

    My Grandpa used to roll his own... Okay, picture this... Grandpa sitting in his rocker by the window... with a big tin pan across his lap, the 9X12 one like the cake pan.... and IN it, is his rolling papers, with that guy on the front of that orange little packet, and his Red Velvet tobacco... He could roll a mean cigarette....Winking And his little glass of whiskey on his stand. So he would light those things, and lit embers falling down on his freshly ironed shirt. Burning holes in it all the way down to his lap. The tray was so he wouldn't catch his pants on fire. We bought him tobacco for Christmas!

    I LOVED to smoke... But me and my girlfriend would smoke in her room, when we had a slumber party, and then hide the ashtray under the bed when we were done... like her Mom never KNEW.... Hah! We would smoke those "Spud" cigarettes, because they were the cheapest.

    And we would play CRY, by Johnny Ray, and sing to that song at the top of our lungs! And THEN, (get this) if my Brother was also over there, we would walk to the nearby golf-course at night... me, her, my brother and HER brother, and sit on those benches and make-out under a tree... Hah! That was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much fun! Even more fun than smoking! But I was just a kid... and chicken of everything.

    No smoking that happy-weed... no nothin'..... I don't think they even HAD it in those days... But I knew they did in High School... I figured my BROTHER did... but I was too chicken... I know my Daughter's did.... those Brats! But they were older... One in college, and the other one with her riff-raff boyfriend!

    So okay.... you guys go behave.... (Hah!)

    Loverly- whew woman what did they give you to have you so wide eyed and bushy tailed? I hope they gave you something to be comfy. I always feel odd after anesthesia. Heal up. Patty stay clear of the stomach crud.. that's the last thing you need. Sympathies to your DH.

    I got up at 5am and laid there for an hour then got up. Major pet/dog routine here in the morning. Everybody is fed. Vet and dentist visits today. Busy.. gardening and trash to be put out.
    Be well.
