MD is mommie dearest. **waiting for details**0 -
So my heart box arrived?? wow that is surprising with snail mail. I cant imagine that the brownies were in good shape either and I could only get 6 or 7 small ones in the box but the brownies were secondary werent they?
Ariom, as I have said before... sheer paradise!! I love to look at black swans and white of course (do you have them) I just love to go driving in our spring time and spot the beautiful white swans swimming in the sloughs or creeks, hearing they are mean just pops my swan bubble!
Wren, hope things go ok with the cats.. you are special... the cat whisperer!

Thought I would post GD3's morning pic. She is now 5 weeks old! She has my head! Lol. Growing anxious waiting to hear about our cookie bomb. ND I am sure you heart box made someone else's heart drop...at least MD's mouth anyway! Love the Springtime photos, M. I have never seen a black swan in person! So glad you are our Cat Whisperer, Wren. You are so good to take them in. Hope everyone is having a great day! S

Squeakers! Hooray!!!
**cookie bomb detonating at MD's house.** **slow-acting, long-term cookie bomb.** I walk in MD's house. She is standing by package.
MD: [Bobo], who is this?
me: Those are my friends.
MD: I was just wondering because I thought maybe he had some girlfriends.
my dad (delighted, overlapping with her): Your mom was wondering because she thought I had some girlfriends!
MD: Who is Spookie?
my dad (confidently): Spookie's name is [**insert Spookie's real name here**]. I looked it up in the reverse phone directory.
me: That's right. Isn't this fun, everybody?
BING-BONG. **sound of man delivering additional mail.** MD brings in another package right at that same time!
me: Ooh, look. Papa is getting so many presents.
MD: Who is [she mentions number written where return address is, since this package is top-secret]?
me: That's my friend [**insert ND's real name here.** My dad ripping the package open.]
MD: It's a heart.
me: (guilelessly) Isn't that sweet?
my dad (delighted, even though he is a cool football coach) Brownies!
MD: In the shape of a heart. [ND! Your heart package cut like a knife!]
my dad: Are you going to thank them for me?
me: Of course I will. There is a lot more where this came from!
MD (angrily): I can't eat any of this.

Made my day!!! Just wish we had a hidden camera to see the rest show up! Any bets on how long until MD eats? You know she can't last long! Bahahaha!

hahahahahahahahahah!!! LOVE IT!!! totally love it. How perfect that more mail came while you were there!!S: baby is adorable!!!! M will want to sniff her,, watch out!

Thanks Glennie. She looks like her dad, my son, Patrick. Too bad I can't send a wiff to M! Lol

Bottle that smell,, make a fortune. WAY better than new car smell.0 -
Oh my goodness what a gorgeous baby! You're so lucky Sgc, I wish you could send the smell, it is too divine. I adore babies!
The plan is working even better than we thought! I think we should be taking bets to see how long before she caves in and eats!
Bobo, I am so thrilled your Dad is enjoying the game! Is she really miffed? Was she nice to you? Having more delivered while you were there, was just gold! I love that!
Soup updates! I am up for those! I made cashew milk and cashew and almond spread! Yum
Nd girl, we do have white Swans in Australia, but I think they are introduced, don't see them much, the black ones are wild and nasty! They act all cool and sweet till you get near them and then they turn into a hissing, honking, puffed up nasty piece of work. I want to get a small air horn for when I take my Kayak out, because they are known to have a go at Kayakers. I'll give them a honk they won't forget!
Gorgeous day again! I am going into town today for an advanced facial! Bring it on, I say, Microdermabrasion or an Acid Peel, they love that I can take anything they give me, I don't even use the little fan they want me to use, to stop the burning! bahahahah I love the paint stripper effect!! I will have the skin on my face like that beautiful baby's bottom, this afternoon. LOL I have always been a cosmetic slut!!!! Yee Ha!
It was Father's Day here yesterday, so Colin got lots of Chilli Chocolate, his fave. Bec called all 3 Dads, she couldn't get the biological one.....typical, but had a great talk with the other 2, Colin loves it and she finally got a card here on time!
Take it easy ladies, I will check in later...M x

Very quiet in here today! Hope you all are having a good one! S

S, your baby is as beautiful as your mind is devious! Your excellent plan is launched and working! M -- I love that you cannot contain your glee at your advanced facial. Will a layer of skin peel off? Will you have to hide?
Well, my sisters, MD is eating liquified foods only. It is supposed to be six ounces a throw. Let me now direct your attention to a (dry) cup measure. That's eight ounces. It's got to be fewer ounces than that. But MD's mug (into which she pours her liquified soup is about two and a half cups.
In the span of an hour she had two of those. What's she's doing is taking a can of soup off the kitchen counter (where she has them stacked in a pyramid) -- the larger Progresso cans (oh wait! I think those are 18 ounces!), and then she empties it into a blender, liquifies it, then pours it into her mug and microwaves it. Let the record show that she's having pasta soups (forbidden) and flavors like 'loaded cream of baked potato.' She is not having anything fresh, like fresh soups, pureed veg, etc.
It bears mentioning that there was no food in the house whatsoever. I have no idea what my dad is eating. I think he is just picking up what sounds good to him. MD has made it clear she is not cooking. We brought him lunch from W Foods, some healthy things, and I brought an apple pie! His favorite. G, his favorite is also licorice!
She was pretty nice for two reasons: 1. I called my (other lesbian!) sister and asked her to come at same time (with LLP and their two adorable teenaged girls!), and 2. My mother was extremely high on pain meds (Still). How come I do not get high off pain meds after sx? I think I am definitely not taking enough! I'm always getting off within three days, not taking them in front of the kids, etc. I am such a party pooper. How much do you have to take to get to 'Long Day's Journey into Night'?
Happy Father's Day, Colin! Bec has three dads just like in Mamma Mia: the jukebox musical. How was this for a more detailed report?

OMG, I reply to myself for two reasons.
1. Birdie, I am in need of a squeakers update! and
2. Forgot to relate this traumatic story:
MD: [Bobo], come with me. I want to show you something.
me: No, that's okay.
MD: No, come here. I need to show you something.
[I try to grab my W boy's arm, say something like, Hey, buddy, thinking that if he comes with me it will avert anything too traumatic -- mother of the year -- but w boy twists out of my grip and scampers away (smart W boy!). I follow MD in the direction of her bedroom with great trepidation, shooting DLLP one last look as I go.]
We arrive at the bedroom.
MD (swiveling to face me. She's in front of a 3-way mirror): I want to show you what he did to me.
me: Oh my god, no. No. I don't want to see that.
MD: I want you to. I want to show you what he did to me.
me (overlapping): I really don't want to see it. It's going to hurt me to look at it.
As I am speaking MD yanks up her nightgown, revealing the entirety of her midsection, upon which several laproscopic sized incisions are placed.
me (backing out of the room): Okay. Okay. That's laproscopic surgery. That's normal. That's not too bad.
MD: But do you see how he went in several places?
A rambling description of the several places ensues as I back out of the room, exclaiming that it's normal.
And then we rounded up the kids and got the sam hill out of there!

Should have yanked up YOUR shirt!!!

Hope your dad is enjoying all his treats, and eating them in front of her.

Oh Bobo, I'm sorry, that was pretty snarky of me. I watched my 2 grands this PM. They are not angels.

Oh Bobo, how long do you think it took for her to eat, even if just a nibble, the goodies? Poor Dad! No food for him, huh? I can't imagine her eating high calorie creamed soups after her surgery. Please let me know if my goodies arrived. They were due there today. I just hope MD doesn't take it in her head to pitch stuff while there aren't any witnesses around! Or maybe hide it for herself? Why would she think you would want to see her laparoscopy scars? Looking for sympathy? ( My ex FIL used say, " Do you know where you find sympathy? Between sh!t and syphillus in the dictionary! Ark, ark!) I am just so happy the heart box made such an impression! That was pure genius! I would have loved being a fly on the wall! S

Oh Bobo! Farkenhell, as we say here in Aus speak! She's a doozy, did I not say she would never comply with the rules? I don't even know her and I was sure about that aspect of her surgery. She will be into your Dad's sweetie stash for sure. Darrel Lea Licorice, I grew up on that. it is the best, but best not eat too much of it, if you get my meaning!
Oh puhleeeeze, laparoscopy surgery...that's not a scar, geeesh.....this is a scar! I would have shown her mine, in all its glory, curving around my back, looking like they tried to cut me in half!....... just like Crocodile Dundee in the movie, that's not a knife....... bahahahaha
0 -
Totally! That's not a scar...THIS is a scar! I am covered in scars. But, no, I don't have the urge to yank people into my bedroom and show them off!
S, will report in! Am in text communication with my dad. MD alone with all the treaties all day long... what will happen?
0 -
No worries, Spookie! Snark away! Mine are not angels either. They are helping me grade papers at the moment.

I know Bobo, you have more, shall I say, decorum than I have, in the scar department. I am not the least backward in showing mine, if the circumstances call for it and I am sorry. but she would have had an eye full, if she'd tried that "I'll show you mine" nonsense, with me.
I am launching plan B for your Dad's treats, never heard back from Pete's whatsaname, well if they don't want the business, someone else will!
I can't remember who asked or even if it was here or on the other thread, I am getting "muxed ip" between the 2, no, the facial doesn't make you peel, it is enzymes that remove the dead skin cell layer. I am an exfoliation junkie, always have been, so there isn't a lot to get off my face during a facial. I don't bother with the "GreenPeel" or anything like that, it makes you terribly sun sensitive. I can't afford that in our climate. I do have to be careful and use sunscreen after these peels too. but not as much. M x

Oh Bobo,,, I can't BELIEVE she had to show you her little teeny weeny scars. Good Lord. We'll all get together and show her some scars, right, M???? I'll flash former Lefty at her. Grrrrrr!!And of course, she is not sticking with diet. At my hospital,, they don't even let them swallow a single pill after GBS. Everything has to be crushed or liquid. She is drinking way too much at one time and will probably bust some stitches. Geeez.
Must get box. Plan to mail to Dad on Weds. Will keep you updated.

Susan, I totally love your ex FIL's saying,, I really gotta remember that one.Right, M??? That's not a knife,, this is a knife!! That's not a scar,, THIS is a scar !! ARGH!!!

Bobo, did she have gastic bypass or lapband surgery? thinking it must be lapband if laproscopy, my bf had gastic bypass, not fun, but yes she did have to eat the cream soups for awhile and pudding etc.
Funny on sympathy in dictonary.. will try to remember that too! good one.
Still wondering where is GB, Idesim, Granwe... missing you all.

Yep Glennie! That's a knife! Great line in a movie!
I think I may have told this story here, so forgive me if you've heard it.
When I first had my surgery and Bec was staying here for a couple of weeks, we were watching old movies together and since I had named my feeling the fear of results as being like the Jaws music, menacing and sudden, we decided to watch Jaws. It gets close to the end when the 3 the men are in the old boat waiting to kill Jaws and they start talking about their scars and what caused them. Each trying to outdo the others with their stories. They are pulling up sleeves and trouser legs to show a scar caused by some altercation with a stingray or such. At exactly the same instant, Bec and Colin both turned to me and said "You win!"

LOL!!! Great story. Was just thinking I haven't seen Crocodile Dundee in ages. I should pick up a copy for post op watching. Gotta plan my books & movies for my recovery. Very important.0 -
A
BooooooHisssssss. You won!!!!!! I'd rather tango with Jaws.

Morning ladies!
Just posted about the huge storm we had last night, over on the other thread, we should join the 2 together since we are always posting on them both. The house vibrated and the thunder and lightning was awesome!
I am just on my way out to do some food shopping, the fridge is almost bare! I will be back to see what everyone's up to.....M x

Venting,, my work computer issues for the last 3 nights have me steaming !!Don't people read???? Why would someone come on our part of the forum to ask about DIEP?? Did she NOT read that this is for those who have chosen NOT to recon. Good grief. I just find that annoying. I find a lot of things annoying today. Like having yet another period. And cramps. Hopefully it will be the last. 20 days to spay. Woot.
