    They gave me PAIN, Rose. I was trying to distract myself from the pain by chatting to nobody until Jazzy came along. Woke up at 1am and finally fell back asleep at 4am. Missed the sunrise.

    My late Uncle smoked like a chimney. I remember the wall in his room was stained yellow. I took one of his cigarette to try thinking that it must tasted good for him to smoke so much. Yuck!! How do youstart smoking??

    hey lovely, how was sleeping? Do you have pillows, all sizes? I still have to sleep with a small pillow I clutch to my chest. I feel like a little kid with their blankie! Hope the pain meds kick in.

    Patty, STAY AWAY from DH. Hope you have someone who can come in and help. I hear the stomach bug that's going around is really nasty.

    Zazzygirl, love your sunrise. I was awake at 5:30 and finally got up at 6:30. Suppose to have some rain this afternoon, maybe. Most of it is heading for S CA.

    Ok, got to get dressed and moving

    Ok this new Vet is a keeper! We transferred over to a new practice because as much as I loved our old vets they were walk in only, no appointments. You could waste all day. My 10 year old border collie usually gets very upset at the vets, pants and has to be muzzled. She is the sweetest kid proof dog, but not at the vets. Well this Vet comes in and sits on the floor next to her, rubs her neck, pets her -greets first. He gave her buscuits and she NEVER takes them and eats them - this time she did. He gave her all her vaccines, checked her joints, tummy, listened heart/lungs and she was fine. Vet care at her level right on the floor! I was thrilled. Tess did great and the prices are great. That's a relief!

    Loverly- Smarty is right lots of pillows or couch cushions. I stayed up in my recliner easier to get out of and kept me from rolling. I just thought it was funny how wide awake you were! Distractions are good. I hope the pain is better, every day will be better. I agree with you on the smoking, can't stand it now.

    wow, chatty ladies this morning...

    Loveoflife, I hope the pain pills do there job. Take it easy. This is from someone that really struggles to take that advice.

    Rose, you also, you are a busy one, taking care of kids, dogs, cabins....whew !

    CHEVY, you love us cause we misbehave.....once in awhile.....

    Sas, love the IPAD. DH surprised me with it the day after my lumpectomy. My laptop had crashed. I, at the time, only used a computer at work. I was too busy then, on my off time. Now, my off time, is all the time. I do miss working, the structure & energy it forces. Life changes.....

    Hello to all, we have not heard from Susan or Tang. Hope they check in.

    Hi MammaRay, you snuck in. Pop in when you can. Hope you are feeling decent.

    I do not think I commented on your fundraising thing. We're you able to put that on hold?

    MammaRay- good to see you here. Prideful and ungrateful? People don't get that we don't want to be anyone's charity story. It is fine for people to offer, but they should also be okay with someone saying "this is not what I need." I am proud of you for staying strong with what works for you. Hope your family is doing okay too?

    The snow melted at Chevys house, so she got on the pole to practice. Then she went stomping around in THOSE shoes, and either got lost or fell off those heels.

    TGIF ladies. After not feeling so great this week, my breathing is FINALLY getting better. I don't feel quite so much that the elephant is sitting on my chest anymore. The Advair is doing it's thing. I plan to go to the gym today to do weights, nothing too cardio yet, but may swim tomorrow.

    I went to see my dermatologist today for a follow up on my basal cell removal last summer. All is good there and nothing that came up around this year's body scan.

    It is stormy and raining here again (surprise, surprise). The sun is out but there is also thunder. Sun + thunder equals= sunder!

    Glad to hear Chevy is back on the pole!

    I'm HERE! Damnit! And yes, that IS me!

    Just bummed about everything going on ..... Now my Brother is trying to deal with his 55 year old Son who is on life support, with pneumonia, who wants to kill himself, MAINLY because he has TRIED to kill himself all of his live with the drugs, alcohol and smoking! Stealing from his folks, his Sisters, and if it were up to me, I would have shot him after the 5th time he was arrested..... but oh well... He is trying to find a long-term mental health care close to them, if/when they can move his Son there....

    Uses his whole family! Gets disability because he doesn't have a brain, but he has to have "Payees" .... and even THEN he will drink it up or take whatever he can get his hands on, whether stealing or buying.

    My Brother DID say "enough" so many times.... But the kid keeps falling down, and his family always comes to his rescue....

    THAT, and worrying about Carol, and my own DD trying to deal with HER little shit of a son, who I love DEARLY, but love my Daughter to the end of the earth, and it hurts to hear her crying on the phone.... Not to mention the whole funeral thing.... And if I see one more flake of snow, I'm going to SCREAM!

    Other than what I just mentioned, everything is just fine! You guys make me laugh! Thank you for that! Yes Spookie.... You little brat! I've been working out in my gardens.... helps take my mind off of stuff..... Love you guys.....

    Aw Ms. Chevy, most of our headaches or heartaches come from those we love. I figured something was bothering you. That is a lot on your plate.

    Geezzz Chevy- (((((HUGS))))) You sound like you could use a big fat hug, a dose of drama reducer and a stiff drink - chocolate coke, sunshine, gardening and the end of winter. Wish I could send it to you. My life is positively boring compared to yours. Boring is good; I am not complaining. The most exciting thing to happen here is a Towhee took a long extra splashy bath in the bird bath and all of our peonies are opening - a zillion bees. SNORE... zzzzzz yep just spine tinglingly exciting!!! All poles here have hanging bskets and bird feeders.

    Glad folks are feeling better, breathing better, skin checks are good and healing up from surgeries... hope Patty dodged the bug and Blondie can see better. Morphine makes me puke so I feel for ya Blondie. Maybe they can come up with something different. Where's Sassafrass? Show us pictures of your latest thrifts. No more temps from Dunedin... no fair we are still chilly.

    I can HEAR you! Haaaaaaaaaaaaahahah! Man that drink looks good.... ! I'll have to try that.... thanks Loverly.... and yes those gloves.... It's just been like I'm HERE, seeing all this stuff going on, and I can't do anything about it.... you know what I mean?

    So I go out in the yard...Cloudy and rainy, and hail further North & East of here.... But I think I have my plants protected enough in case we get hail....

    Spookie, what mischief are you up to? If I lived where you do, we could ALL go walking down by the beach.... right? And have a picnic somewhere, and kick your Husband out of the house for awhile.... Winking Don't tell him I said that....

    Jazzy & Loverly! You two make a good pair....! We have to keep this thread livened up... Did I spell that right?

    And ROSIE! Are we the only ones around?
