Good morning friends- I hope everyone had a good rest!
Blondie- nothing exciting this weekend, just getting ready for a biz trip this week. Meeting some folks later today for dinner who are in town house hunting.

Mema we give people new names a round here. Bolndie has given you your new name "Tower". Yes, the60's and 70's were wild. But must admit I never did in a tower with a plane landing. It does sound kind of like a 007 thing. Wild girl.
Good one Blondie
Chevy should I be blushing?
Patty have you come up for air yet? Feet cold?
Chevy BTW Patty started it, talking about getting naked.

Glad to be back here now that life has calmed down.

I don't think we could blush if we tried..... I remember I did one time.... when I was in "Health" class.... And our Teacher said "Malone! What is the difference between necking and petting?" And I quietly said "Anything above the waist is necking, and anything below was petting".... But I was mortified. He just DID it, to make me squirm.... I wasn't even popular, nor DATING anyone... I was a real quiet little mouse.... and I didn't like school at all....
I'm so glad I outgrew all those "stages"..... Ha!

spooks and sas...them are fighting words.....lol. Go Hawks
Got pics of the Stanley cup last time. Northshore is the medical group I am in and they are one of the biggest sponsors. The cup travels to the hospitols in the system and people get to see it. I was there for tests the day it showed up. Pretty cool.
Happy Sunday all

Ms. Blondie, I am glad it made you laugh.
Iris, love the widow art.
Ms. Sass, I had a good laugh reading the "20 Ways to Maintain a Healthy Level of Insanity" . Shared it with my kids and both loved it too.
Goats, how is your pup? Stomach issue resolved? Did you get a chance to try the tea bag as Ms. Sass suggested? Curious how well it works as green tea has anti-inflammatory effect. Not sure about other tea.
Ms. Smaarty, did I fool you? Haha. I do have a suppressed rebellious side. Mom always had to correct me when I was little- "sit properly", "a young lady does not eat out of the pot", " act like a lady", "climb down from that tree. Girls don't climb trees" among many others corrections.
Ms. Chevy, you got to teach me how to post animated pictures. I am such a fuddy-duddy and computer challenged. You are hip.
for successfully ordering AC/DC tickets for your DHS and GS.I like the name Tower. Good choice Ms. Blondie. Tower, I think you have found an ally in kinkiness.
Hi Teka
Mommy!!! You are back. Glad life has calmed down for you and that you are back. It might sound weird, but I miss your "lol".
I was right about Ms. Spookie's fascination with thongs.
Wow, that young man's define muscles look as good as American Pharoah's

Thanks Blondie! I like that name, Tower!! I think Sass and I would have gotten into a lot of wild times if we'd known each other back in the day!0 -
Tower lol, yes we would have, but Chevy would have been the leader. It will make someone crazy trying to figure out tower meaning. Our laugh.
ohh Loverly, thought you took me serious, okay you didn't. You do a great job at remembering everyone
Hey mommyof2 . Glad you are recovered.
Susan I'm so bad on sports names. Hawks belongs to? Ds just shakes his head

Good to be back!

You see, I didn't even comment on "Tower"..... Because I was afraid of thinking, "Oh no, do I have to go back and read X amount of pages to see what I missed?" So I just let it slide by..........
Going to see Ms. Theresa today... We talk every night, and we just make each other laugh~ I think the years of caring for Eddie, and all the worries and responsibilities of keeping their home up and running really wore her down... But now she is living a happier life, without all the turmoil and sadness she was feeling for many years.........
So she sounds completely different now, and enjoying her "new life!" .... SHE didn't say that, but I did... She is even welcoming a new lady across the hall from her... This "new" lady is actually my Daughter's friend's Mother!
We used to kind of dread visiting Theresa and Eddie when things were on the down-hill slide, but every thing changes....... So now things are happy again........ She still misses him, and has her moments, but a sweeter-happier little gal is fun to visit now!
Morning Loverly! You know, I go to GOOGLE IMAGES.... and type in ANIMATED PICTURES, or anything ANIMATED... And sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't and drives me crazy.....
But sometimes you have to "click" on LOTS to find one that moves...

And when you see one that DOES move, you R. click, and click "copy image" and then bring it back here to "paste" it in... Just R. click to paste.... But I would STILL like to find a site where they all actually work....

I don't know of any other way to get animated images.... does anyone else? I just go here:
And type in Animated scenes, or Sparkly pictures..... and sometimes it works...
Except I might add.... I can't get ANYTHING to work with AOL browser.... I have to open Chrome, or Internet Explorer, and THEN do this...

Chevy, I am on an I pad. I can do pics, but I dont think moving ones. I don't have a computer. Hubby has a lap top, but I don't use it. For all those on I pads, don't think we can do as much.
Sas...sweet home Chicago
Have a great Monday .
Hope everyone's storms get calmer

I hope you all had a nice weekend. My hubby bought me a diaper bag for my chemo bag.............................................

I do love it..it has monkeys all over it with little compartments. I will take a pic of it later when I get motivated.

wow. I took a little time off bco. Things haven't been going as planned. Crazy migraine , nausea, vomiting , big d, achy everywhere. I haven't even thought about um ...Essex. But lots of good ideas here. You guys make me laugh so hard. I kinda like the only black socks on. I am blushing.

Just kicking back and enjoying the rest of my day. After today, hubby will be off for the rest of the week. We will have been married 11 years on Friday!

Patty- sorry to hear you have not been feeling well. Are things better today or still slogging through the crud?
I went to the dentist for a check up today and found out I have a tooth with an eroding filling and cracks 3 side around it in the tooth. Ugh. So I am getting it crowned on the 23rd when I am back from my biz travels. I just got a refund for a writing retreat I signed up for next month that was cancelled and thought "whoo wee, money back." But the crown will take that and then some. I guess the universe had plans for my refund!

I'm sorry Jazzy.... with MY teeth, which were always so bad, I just had to have a plate for the top years ago.... And I still have enough on the bottom to be able to chew alright, but if anything goes wrong with those, I'll just get another plate.... It must be soooooo nice to have your own teeth.... although my "play-teeth" are much prettier than my real ones....
And fit perfectly.You know, we went to see Theresa this morning.... BUT when we got there, there were about 6 or 7 Police cars, 3 Fire Trucks, and 2 ambulances! I thought WTH did she DO???? We asked an officer at the door "If everything is okay"..... And she just said "There was an incident" but that it was all taken care of, and everyone accounted for"....
But even the desk said only "There was an incident."..... We went on up the elevator to the second floor, and saw one of the hallways was locked down....
Then Wilma, her next-door neighbor didn't know anything about it..... Went to see Theresa, and she asked what was going on? She just heard them say over the inter-com.... STAY IN YOUR ROOMS!!!
Then when we walked her to lunch, another gal said there was a shooting! And we just sort of laughed about it, because we didn't want to say anything. She said it would be on the news! THEN when we finally left, that hallway was still on lock-down, and they were towing a SUV away.... 3 police cars followed.... I'm just baffled.... I would guess that someone on the run, went IN those unlocked doors.... ???? Man, I was sort of afraid, but just told Theresa she has to hold it DOWN when she is dancing! She'll call me later, and maybe know what happened.
Haven't seen THAT much Police activity in ..... since forEVER!
Congratulations MOM2!

Chevy- I have had pretty good luck with my teeth through the years. One problematic root canaled tooth that kept getting infected, got a retrograde filling, etc. but the rest have been doing well. So I have been "overdue" in some respects. Everything else has gone to hell, but the teeth have been good.
I am going to catch this before it becomes a bigger problem (early detection with just about anything is key to less pain and money longer term!)

DD told me last night she needed a crown. And then I could call her Princess. I told her to get a second opinion.

When I get my crown, I want to be called Queen of Jazz! But that may already taken by Ella Fitzgerald......

Patty, you just can't catch a break. Sorry about the lack of going to Essex. Bummer. Glad you got some laughs though. I laugh about the black socks all the time. He is just so oblivious, it is sweet.
Chevy What a deal at Theresa's. Sounds awful. Let us know what happened and if there's a YouTube posting from the news.
Chevy sweetie you need to go back and read from the beginning when Patty talked about getting naked. Reason is--- if we are going to be adequately able to talk about Essex, what Tower means in regard to Mema, black socks, with all the relative freedom that innuendo allows. You have to know what the innuendo is referring to or the joke is lost. You are a master at innuendo, not sure you realize that. It's an art, that few are masters at. The rest of us need to work at it.
French Fry there were several chemo tips threads I sent you, Rock's, Smarrty's, and someone else's.
Jazzy, sorry the 'found " money, was so quickly gone again for something that isn't fun. Pooper.

Thanks gals, even if he drives me batty, I am so glad I had him by my side through all of this!

Okay fine........... but I STILL don't know what "Tower" has anything to do with anything...... But THANK YOU for the compliment, which I don't understand......... So I am an inuendoer? That's good..... probably....
I'm trying to read all the directions on HOW to sand and spray a couple spots on my lower right quarter panel, on my car! See, DH had these 2 2X4's in the garage, to keep my car from going up too far... He had them just stacked on top of each other.... So when my front tire hit it slowly, the one fell off, and my car rolled over them, and hit the paper-shredder in the garage.... It had a metal-mesh basket, and my car scraped it! So a couple spots need painted.... I just sanded them..... then I have the "primer"..... Actual paint color..... And a HIGH GLOSS EPOXY spray.... had to watch a demonstration, to see exactly how to do it.... and then wear a "mask" and has to be done OUT of the garage.....
But I can do it.... when I get up enough nerve.... Ha!

Thank you for the links Sas! Thanks to everyone that took the time to contribute to those threads. I know there are many of us that much appreciate all the effort it took to create those informative tips.

Chevy, make the hubby do it!!!!!!!!!!! lol

He would gladly, but the whole garage would be painted! And he wouldn't wear a mask, or read the directions.... And I love to paint.... Ha!

Chevy, In 1970, Mema had Essex with an airtraffic controller in the control tower while the controller was directing a plane. Blondie nicknamed her Tower. Wow, I had to be very careful with the words I used so a certain agency wouldn't want to be looking here all the time. But I'm guessing they do anyway. Can you imagine someone trying to decipher what we are talking about even when it's normal?
Yes, you are an innuendoer LOL. and as I said you are a Master.
