    Jazzy, so, understand, I'm the same way. Insomnia's my home thread. But when I see something that may interest others, I pop on by :) Like those knitted knockers LOL. Everyone take care :) sassy

    Hi hermits- got a nice swim in today at the gym. Felt good to be back in the water, and also did the hot tub and steam room. Allergies are bad this weekend, but the cold is mostly gone now.

    Report from the garden- I see little beginnings of green around the returning plants like my salvia, seedums, russian sage, and mums. In the winter, the prickley pear and elephant ear cacti actually lay down on the earth. Each spring, the raise back up as the days warm and get longer. Some are already upright, some are coming up. I will say that is one of the most interesting things I see happen each spring. The weeping cherry should be out this week too.

    Hope everyone enjoyed having some evening light. I know I did!

    It was a very nice day here in Wisconsin.  I went for a walk with my parents today and  I could feel my fingers and toes the whole time.

    Hi hermit buddies,  Well today is my birthday and I did it in hermit style.  I had a room and dinner at a St. Louis Casino with my BFF.  We had a great dinner; she went back to the room to read magazines and look at cable and  I went on the floor to play my favorite-- the Slots.   I love going places where no one knows me and I love  mixing anonousyly with the crowd.  I had so much and   I won $300.  Didn't go back to the room until  3AM.  Got up at 9 AM and had breakfast with my friend.   All day was such a relaxing day compared to last years birthday when I had so much anxiety--had just been diagnosed with Cancer and was frighten with the changes in my life and the upcoming major surgery following that  birthday.  Just so thankful to God, my family, my co-workers, my friends especially you guys at BCO for carrying me and being there for me.  What a difference a year make.  Your support, care and compassion means the world of difference.   Well, I've had my last glass of wine and better get ready for bed.  Got work tomorrow.  Will catch you up on other things later.  Dorothy

    Happy day to you Dwill!!!

    Camster, Hope the gut is settling down 

    Boo for allergies and asthma-hope everyone has some success managing those.

    I have allergies too, but seems my body traded the moderate spring issues for the fall last year. We shall see what this year has to offer.

    Had my gyno appt this morning and decided to take myself out to breakfast afterward. ;)

    Every year I go, they change the recommendation for the frequency of Pap test. I was used to yearly, then they changed to every 2 or 3 years and now it is every 5. On top of that the office is now sharing space with another group and blending staff. I don't really have a problem with it, but was confused by the new process they have and going to a different place to be examined, check out and exit the office. Not only that the med tech didn't know how to pronounce no less than 3 of the meds on my allergy list. As a side I have been friends with my gyne doc since she was a resident, worked with her when she started her practice and was one of her first patients in the former practice. We have done some things socially with the group from my old work place and today-though she was friendly and gave me no less than 3 hugs-I felt like I was rushed through the visit-she was rushing through fro some reason and left me a little confused.

    My bag is packed for the bus tour extraordinaire........I have the first aide kit covered. I do have a bit of a pillow obsession. No lie, I have 6 and use them. Do we have a pillow limit or can I at least bring 3-4????

    I did exit the hermit mode this weekend. Went to dinner and visited my sissy and her kiddos yesterday. They had a b-day party next door to attend and their neighbors invited me over if I wanted. (they all warned me about their strange family members-but don't we all have them)

    My sister and BIL laughed after as did their neighbor because I blended right in as if everyone had known me for years. LOLOLOL!

    Crazy understands crazy I suppose.

    Wishing everyone here a wonderful day.

    Psssst Duckylicious

    I traveled over to the Bonfire to warm up and get my seat reservation in. Granny posted not to invite anyone else cause the bus is full. I am taking my caravan and filling it with hermits and single ladies. Maybe our paths will cross on the cloverleaf.

    LOL

    OMG I didn't mean to create a ruckus! I had no idea. I just got around to checking the thread today. But it never occured to me to look back further through the thread. I have a lot of catching up to do.

    Hi hermits- it hit 73 degrees today. I know, shut up!

    Anybody watch the finale of True Detective? I got totally hooked on that new series. Like a short story, but on film. We talked about it in my writing class too, as it was starting as we were doing that class. Really good writing and powerful acting. 

    I think there will be Emmy's for that down the line!

    Good Morning Herms---

    Piper u have a thing about pillows too? It's silly, cuz when I watch a TV ad or program and people just lie down, I think where are all the pillows?

    Good pics guys.

    And yes Shut up Jazzy--we're supposed to get more snow and some states around us worse than what we get--so we're still going with winter. So no planting here.
