April, Take care. Positive thoughts coming your way.
4, sorry to hear of your problems. I'm sure you will overcome.
Hope all are safe, warm and dry. Our snow has changed to rain and now some flooding. I did see some crocus bravely blooming.
Hugs to all,

Julianna........we are going to get hit tomorrow......whatever is in Chicago now will be here with a vengence......so much snow still on the ground..........so when that storm comes........so will the water.......and more leaks........ugh.........
This morning there were so many accidents from black ice.........Drivers think the weather people are being funny when they say slow down, my SIL sat in traffic from 5:30am till 7:30 am on a major highway because of a multiple vehicle accident..............had he not taken the dog out, and was a little later starting out........."he would have been in the accident""...........thank God, he was at least 1 exit behind.........
We had "thunder" yesterday while the temp was 27 degrees, and it actually shook buildings.......WTH is happening with this weather..........the thunder according to some reports broke windows.......now when have you ever heard of that...............scary........

Hi everyone I am still alive running crazy these days. Austin's 2nd birthday is coming up and they gave us a closing date for our house! We are so excited but ugh the anxiety of moving forward is difficult after the cancer diagnosis. Thank goodness for my DH. He keeps me grounded when I want to freak out and become negative. He always tells me we do not and will not have any control over the future and we will not live in fear. My husband is the best.
Alyson congrats NED!!!
So happy for you.4- of my goodness. I am so sorry!!! Ugh have you in my prayers. I hate F Cancer pls keep us updated. Hugs scream cry pls vent we are here!!
Hugs,
Sweet Pea

This week should just go away! I fell on the ice this morning and hurt my....well, my pride for sure and am just really sore and have a bloody palm from the gravel....sheesh, it is always something!4, so very sorry to hear about your infection and your boob. I hope your doc can come up with a way to fix it! Hugs!
Alyson, how wonderful that you are dating NED! We are thrilled for you! Now keep him entertained and he will hang out with you perhaps forever (we hope!)
Chevy, you need to take it easy girlfriend. you are gonna break something else if you don't slow down!
Ducky, those twin granddaughters are gorgeous! And the baby...well, she is too stinking cute too.
Ok, to all of you, stay well, stay dry and stay upright! Shells, I guess even in Paradise a little rain must fall.
As for you Spooky, you are in timeout for that last little post of yours. If you are a good girl, you can play outside in oh.....maybe 2016! HA!

April....you always make me smile.......thanks for the compliment about my GD's and GGD......love them all......
Be careful..........lucky you didn't break something......so many falls........we are still icy, and so many accidents.......my SIL just missed one this morning.......left a little later, thanks to the new puppy he had to take out to pee............a matter of minutes from sitting for the accident, and not being "the accident".......God is good.....it was a bad one............
So be careful.......hugs.

Julianna, Wren, and Mary, thanks so much for the hugs and keeping me in your pocket. I had the diagnostic test and ultrasound yesterday on the left breast. It still itches but I am told all looks clear with my left breast. However, the tech did comment that it doesn't even look like I have an implant on my right side. I believe it is so high that when I sit down, it creates a pocket toward the bottom and doesn't even look like a breast. Now when I stand it is rounded--but doesn't match the left breast at all--much higher than the left. However, my PS did say he would do a revision in a couple months--a lift and liposuction. Maybe, I should go somewhere and get a second opinion.

FYI.........Good show on Oz. today........Ambien........anyone on it should take a look...........it is Feb. 20th show.......not a good drug according to what they talked about....actually scary what the SE's can do.........

hi ladies. Just popping in.
4444444 so sorry to hear about the infection. Keep care of yourself. Most PS are pretty inventive so maybe he'll be able to figure an option for you.
April, some people just give up. It's really sad but don't let her problems become yours.
Talked with my granddaughter in Hawaii yesterday. She was hoping it would snow in the summer here. They are hoping to come visit this year and she wants to see snow. I think a trip to the mountains will be in order, if they make it AND come early enough!!
Shell we will be at Turtle Bay April 7 through 13. Maybe we can meet up.

April, who me? What'd I do? GONNA DO IT AGAIN!!!!!

Ducky, I didn't watch it but what did they say about ambien? I love my ambien. April Im sorry about your friend. My dad also killed himself, but he was in terrible health, and couldn't get anybody to listen to him. The feeling of not being able to help is awful. They never realize what they do to people when they take that route.

Mary........Google....Dr. Oz.com and look for the Feb 20th show.....you can see the entire comment about it.........people who had serious SE"s.......some don't but they were cautioning people who do, and what to look for..........I could never explain as good as he did, plus he had people on who had problems, and also another Dr. 'who talked about it.............some have no problems, others did..........
Ok, I just put in Google........Dr. Oz Show February 20, 2014.......it came right up........check it out.

Dwill, So happy to hear your news. Keep bugging your PS until you are satisfied. It never hurts to get a second opinion.
Sweet Pea, So glad you have a closing date. It will be great to be in your own place.
April, Take care or you will be sharing a room with Chevy!
Howdy, Shells! Good to hear from you. Is your son surviving our unique weather?
Charles, how are you doing? Are you buried in snow?
Take care, everyone.

Hoolies and Homiettes,
Keeping track of all yer shenanigans (AKA lurking) - my work week is Thursday - Monday, I'm at the hectic beginning of my workweek - checking in on youse daily.
Some kinda interesting news - I've been on the job 4 months and my boss now has me doing OTJ training of new hires. My training had all been with people who had worked for years, so I guess that's a compliment. A new nurse told me that the boss wanted her to train with me because I have developed so many useful tools for assessing new pts and planning their hospital discharges to hospice. She also said I am the most organized in collecting and accessing new information. So that feels good - I'm 59, so I guess an older dog can learn new tricks. Getting more comfortable in my role and will now be training to do "Start of Care" visits in the home. Thought some good news on my end would be nice to hear.
Will check in later. Love all of youse!

Shells, So glad you're getting the positive recognition you deserve! Makes putting up with the MDeity during training worth it.

Mary I;m glad u'r off, I hated that one--but how are u feeling?
Shell to be very honest I never expected anything less from u--it just seemed to me u would shine with what is a very difficult job.
Ducky our winds were horrible--I don't know for the downtown Chicago are, but that's usually worse, but it's over for now--yes I know more chit is coming. I'm sure u'r GS is fine.

Morning Hoolies!
WTG Shells! Sounds like you are rockin that job!
Mary, hoping that your coming off that morphine is not too hard. I don't like the way it makes me feel. I had it when I was in the hospital and I felt...funny? Kind of like I was hallucinating. But, after a couple of days of getting it, I remember thinking I liked it much more than I thought cause I began to feel even "funnier" without it and it was only like 3 days after my surgery when they switched me to an oral pain killer and I guess I was in a little bit of withdrawal...weird and fast!
Cami, that picture is adorable!!
Ducky, it was not too windy here in CT but I know that all of the middle states got whalloped with big winds. Did Delaware confirm a tornado? I thought I heard that?
We have decided to sell our home which makes me very sad. My husband was laid off in 2009 and never found a full time job again and is working part time so we just can't afford to keep it anymore. He did all of the right things. He worked for his former employer for 23 years. He has a Bachelor's degree. His only crime is being a male over 55. In the state we live in, very few jobs available and he is in the population hardest hit. Men heading towards retirement but not yet ready to retire. Ugh!
I work with the unemployed as an Employment Specialist and I cant even help most of my clients in this age group! Most of them end up taking part time jobs or very low paying full time jobs if they get really lucky. This sucks but I don't make enough to sustain this house. We bought it brand new 10 months before my husband's position was eliminated. We had no idea and never saw it coming...
We have exhausted all of our savings and my hubby's 401K thinking any minute he would find work, and every spare dime has gone into trying to keep this house. Can't do it anymore. I cried so hard when we finished making the decision last night but in the light of day, it makes so much sense to me. It is too big and too expensive to keep it and it really makes no sense for the two of us to stay here when there are at least 3 rooms we never even go in!
OK, heading off to do Saturday stuff. Run to the pharmacy to pick up the prescription of the evil drug (Aromasin) and then off to get a much needed haircut if they can squeeze me in. Have to wait until they open to call which is at 9am EST so maybe that will not happen

April.............Delaware got a warning, but it never materialized..........just some bad winds here, but the "flooding" rains never happened........now they are talking about the Polar Vortex returning......I know I read Chicago is going into the deep freeze again, and Pa. always gets there weather a few days later........hurry Spring.......

Aw April, Im so sorry about your house.Thank god we paid ours off years ago, and never wanted to buy another one. Weve been here for 28 years and aren't planning on going anywhere.

April, so sorry to hear of your troubles. In the end you'll probably be happy to make the change to something smaller but it always feels better when the choice is voluntary and you don't feel forced into it.

April.....I am so sorry.....we must have been posting at the same time......
I have always lived in big homes.......except my first.......did ok for 15 years but then we truly outgrew it......so we bough a much bigger home in the suburbs.....not out of our means, but much bigger means much higher bills......5 Br's.......2 12 baths, kitchen, breakfast room, massive dining-room and living-room, and a gorgeous finished basement......10 ft. ceilings, and all stone......the neighborhood changed, my husband died, my kids had begun to get married before he died.......had it not been for 2 kids in each room, I would have had empties too, but it just meant the remaining kids had the rooms to themselves.......until they got married, and just 1 daughter was home, and that is who stayed with me after her father died.........eventually she got marred, and I was alone...........horrible,........way too big for me, and had to move at 56...........awful.......
Moved to the town most of my kids lived in but was never happy there.....after being there for 9 years my son suggested moving in behind his mansion, and he would redo the entire house he had just bought behind his.............that lasted for 5 years till his wife decided to run around on him, and wanted me out of the house behind them cause I could see "it all".....
Left there cause he said "Mom I am selling the house your in".........great at 75, moving again.......another son found a house for me........gutted the interior down to the rafters, all new utilities, floors and on 1 floor..............it is gorgeous..just been here for 3 years, but not entirely satisfied..........no basement, so less storage........my son said "Mom, and less shit".......he is right, but all my exercise Eq. cannot be used....no place for it.....the house is big, but all rooms are being taken by my other stuff................massive gourmet kitchen......2 bathrooms, and 1 is all stone with a jacuzzi and a walk in shower.......huge family room with a vaulted ceiiling, back patio, all brick, and a front overhang, with railings all around...............It backs up to a historical farm, all wooded with a stream right outside my back door...................so why am I bitching.............I don't know...........I like 2 floors..........I like a basement...........I like the town I was in, even though if I fall sidewards I am right there............and it is lonely..............
I hate this life of aches and pains.........I have a shore home with a pool, and more then anyone could want.........but I want my QOL back, which I lost 3 years ago right after I moved in here..............this is my "cancer" house........a reminder of no matter how good things are...............getting slapped is just around the corner............
So April.....now that I have bitched.........my point is........I completely understand where your coming from.........and I would be crying too........I tried to think of all the positives and everyone loves this house and keeps saying...........Wow........anything happens to you " I want this house"......so what the hell is wrong with me.......
My son put his sweat and blood into it, anyone would die for this house..........but I guess no house is fun or beautiful if you have no one to share it with.........ok, I'm done....................hugs April.....................
Hopefully you have not hung yourself after that whining, venting, ranting, post...........
I should have this made poster size and hang it on my wall..........

Oh April that feels crushing-- I know---I forgot the age requirements but could u do a reverse mortgage? It's not ideal, but I do know some who has done that and allowed her to stay put, but I realize it's not all our choice. I lost mine and was very happy there-it is a shock because the things that happen u just don't think like that when u lve somewhere. And personally I think a lot of the employers are taking advantage offering min. wage to people now, cuz they have the option to many people without jobs still. And giving part time jobs so they don't have to pay for ins. etc. It's a struggle. It's truly saddening and I pray this might be a happy resolution.(((APRIL)))
