INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

Just got home from work at 2:30 am to find my dogs have shredded another bed--#7 in 5 years. My mother bought them a tug-of-war rope years ago and they've been obsessed with pulling apart things ever since. I never had children so I think it's mom's way of paying me back for the s#!+ I was as a teenager. Oh, well. The foam is easier to pick up than the down pillow that fell victim to their shenanigans last fall...I'm STILL finding feathers in odd places. I'll probably see more such messes in the coming weeks since I won't be able to walk them or play ball with them very much once chemo starts.

Morning Marla-marla-bo-rama! Your dogs sound like a lot of fun, playing together! Your name just reminds me of that song... Most of you probably don't remember...
But you take someone's name, like Sheri... And Sheri, Sheri, bo beri, banana-rama, bo-beri... etc... or SOMEthing like that... And one time I told my little Grandson, who was about 4, to sing his Dad's name in that song.... "Chuck".... and he said "I can't, my Mom said I can't do Dad's name!".... Hah! Paid ME back!

I thought you meant YOUR bed at first...
You need to get them a heavy-duty cot-like bed, or one made of steel!
What are you doing out all hours of the night at 2:30? You say "work?" Sure... you did.... Me and Cammi tried THAT as an excuse, and didn't work with US either. You must work in the "entertainment" industry?
Yes, Spookie takes her retro-phone out on her porch
And posts shapshots from it to the rest of us in winter-weary wherever! WITH her flip-flops, and cute little toes hanging out!
Lucy? We have a Lucy? Welcome little sleepy-head!
Rosie, you scared her away! Or else she fell asleep in her tracks after you posted!
Come back little Lucy!
Littlegoats... MORNING! You can't sleep either? And you have PAIN? Can you take 2 Aleve before bedtime? Do I sound like Doctor Chevy or something?
No you guys.... when we are raising teenagers, we are just there to listen and not say a word.... that's how you get along... Pretend they aren't there, and just shove food under their door, because they don't like when you open it, and "spy" on them!
And don't ever tell them, that NO, they can't go to that Rave, or that Den of Inequity, where they smoke weed, and eat snacks... That's their "thing."
Little Loverly, don't ever think you stick your foot in your mouth... If you happen to do it once.... try the other foot... we ain't perfect you know....
Morning Blondie and Mamma-mamma ! It's Monday? No, wait, it's Tuesday! I read it wrong... Gotta go shop at Ross! Senior Tuesday, and since I am barely a Senior, I get a discount!
Shut up Spookie....

Chevy- I love the "wish I were as thin as when...." I have some cocktail napkins that say that!
In the process of decluttering and reorganizing, I found some pictures of when I was around 17 yrs old and during a time I used to obsess about my weight. Or rather, my mother obsessed about my weight and made me neurotic about it. I was a bit chubby as a kid, but outgrew my "baby fat" in my teens and was very trim and fit. But that never stopped her from focusing on me! I had a boyfriend in my late teens/college who used to focus on my weight too. I gave him the old heave ho with time.
But as I looked at a picture of me and the old BF, I remembered how I used to still think I was fat then.
T-storms and heavy rains had me up middle of the night and I have an early morning meeting so I am tired (ugh), but wish you all a good day!

Jazzy, hope you have time to squeeze in a nap

Geez Chevy...I didn't mean to scare off Lucy. I won't share any more teen acting out/ vent stories.. that makes doggies tearing up their beds look like nothing. My 3 don't generally tear up beds. It's dog toys, paper products and cat toys. Our little terrier loves to shred Qtips! yuck. Mostly they are good, except for stealing cat food any chance they get. Dogs are definitely easier then children Marlana! Good luck with chemo.
We are supposed to get rain today too. Then it is supposed to be warmer and sunnier.. we will see. My scrapbook albums came yay! I need to reorganize photos into albums for the kids. Some of the albums they will put together for themselves. If they come out I'll post a page.. I'm new at this. Garden is blooming! We have lots of tiny cherries, apples and broccoli! Sciatica still a PIA (literally) but got to movng around a little yesterday, still hoping this too will pass. Loveroflif- you have had it too! Just stinks.. hope things are good for you.
Hey come back Lucy or Chevy will hound me! Mamaray I hope things have calmed down. Ya'll have a good day.

Marla, was it as bad as this?

Ms. Chevy, have fun shopping. I like Ross and Marshalls. Just make sure you don't get something like this

Hey Rose, glad to hear you are up and moving a bit. The first time sciatica hit me I was at the grocery store. For a few seconds I thought I was shot in butt or something. I remember looking back to see who was behind me and ask myself what the heck just happened. I haven't had one for awhile but the lower back muscles on same side bothers me every so often. It is still better than sciatica. Hope yours is temporary.
Took a picture of this when we were in Monterey last month ...
Have fun book scraping

Hi everyone.. 2.20 am here.. Ugh..So happy to have people to chat with.. 😃
Must say you have a lovely , busy thread here ladies ..Nice place to hang out in the wee hours !
Blondie ..I didn't realise you're another one who can't sleep :-(

There she is. Yay, Rose didn't scare you away. I was intimidated by her when I first joined. It's something in her voice. But I know now she has a soft heart. Anyway, hope you don't have to go to work today like Jazzy half awake. Where in Australia are you? We visited Gold Coast in 1999 or 2000. Memory is not the best lately. Actually, it had never been good. I still do have selective memory. Ok.. where was I?
Oh yes...Gold Coast is almost like America except people speak with a better accent. Would like to go back and visit the other side one of these days.
I am on my way to see my doctor for post-op follow up. Hoping to have the drains removed today. I am dying for a shower.
Oh Rose, my older daughter helped washed my hair yesterday with gladness. They do have their moments of giving. We just need to be VERY patient and guide them. We can only hope they will turn out ok
0 -
Lover of life... HaHa.. The Gold Coast is nearly exactly where I live.. I'm in Brisbane.. So less than an hours trip.. I go there all the time.. I love the ocean.. It's good for the soul.. I hope all goes well at your doctors visit.. and those drains come out, and you enjoy your shower :-)
0 -
Rose.. Nope.. You certainly didn't scare me off.. I'm.like a bad smell.. very hard to get rid of :-)
It's now 3.4O am... Hope I get to sleep soon.. Or it'll be time to get up. :-(

Whew, made it through my meeting just fine. The dang rain has my asthma back so I am tired and wheezy today. But I am home and will be able to slow down for a bit this afternoon.
Loveroflife- you and I are soul sisters, I swear it. I like Ross to and went today to pick up a few things I saw there last week. Did you know that on Tuesday's if you are 55 yrs or older, you get 10% off? I turned 55 in March so I used my new "senior discount" today. Whoot whoot! I saved 10 bucks!

Teka, what say you about this?

DS son won his case at the court of appeals. Per Curiam Affirmation. The Judges upheld the lower court ruling without writing an opinion. Rare that it would get appealed further. The State Supreme Court wouldn't have an opinion of the district court to review.
This makes one state and one federal case appeallate(sic) win for a young-in(30) in about two mouths.

Lucy, If you're like me, you spend your time trying to sleep, but instead doing the math to see how long you'll be asleep if you go to sleep right now.
Marlana, Look into the possibility of having a dog walker (paid or volunteer) to help exercise the dogs during chemo. At least it was their dog bed rather than the sofa. We had to keep a sharp eye out when we fostered a basenji/pit bull mix. Basenji's are known for "valuing your possessions far less than you do".

Congrats to you and your son Sassy!
0 -
Yes Congrats Sassy! For whatever it was that he did.... I KNOW you explained it, but then.... YOU know!
And Jazzy! You are just a twerp! I've been using that discount for over 100 years now! Hah! Sometimes I BEG them to please ask me for my ID, so I can show them I really AM over 55....
Hello again LucyLu! Yes, we are here all the time, day and night.... rain or snow.... ALWAYS snow here in these parts! I am so sick of cold and snow... Oh well.... the whole idea just depresses me....
But wait! Would someone please explain what Jazzy means about death stars? Does she even know? I love stars.... millions of them.... coffee too, but I don't know about the rest of that!

Hello Lucy welcome sorry your sleepy Bummer. Someone's here mostly. Australia lot's of lovely ladies from Australia and Auckland.
Chevy, hahahah, yes that's what I type with my two middle fingers. The other fingers bend to far. You were particularly interesting this morning
Marlanab, Marley We change names around here allot. Oh my --hope the bed wasn't the one you sleep in. I had a Brittany that was a pistol the first two years. Then settled in and never chewed or ate another wall or couch.
Loverly, the sewer on that pair of pants must have had insomnia? But what was the inspectors problem LOL?
Jazzy Thanks Thanks....So much fun........He's happy. Sounds almost cliche, he got word of the ruling while on the golf course with a couple of partners and a client.

Chevy- death star is a Star Wars thing!
A couple years ago at Ross, there was a young gal who said "well I don't mean to offend you if you are not 55, but today is discount day if you are!" I was a few years from 55 at that time, and told her I appreciated her asking but still had a few more years to go. I forgot about it until I was there last week and went "oh yeah, I can get my 10% off on Tuesday!" I know, cheap thrills.....
Even better than being than Ross is getting carded at a bar or grocery store! I know some places just have to card everybody, but always thank them when they do!

Chevy that dancing dog Lizzy and his owner Sandy, I got teary the first time. I then found other clips. I watched hours of different teams yesterday. I concluded Sandy and Lizzy were the best. Can you post that link here too? Thanks Re:DS--stoked
