Dream, I see no sh"" list!!! (((((((((Dream)))))))))))) Hope you are feeling better
This bear is for you Dream! I do not want you hibernating.........Sharon, I am the same as you when it comes to names. i can remember a face always but names............I am bad, and now that I have chemo brain? I am lucky to remember my own sometimes! I had the worse hot flash tonight. I was sitting on the couch and *blam*. I do not think I had one that bad.............oh lordy lordy! I had to change my shirt, lol!
Coonie, btw, LOVE your new avatar pic! SoCalLisa, your pics are so gorgeous!
Saint, I am so happy your scans came back great, Rock on!!!!
Spar, oh my gosh, loving it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am with ya AlwaysHope. I am new here so still getting use to all my beach buddies, so I hope no one takes offense as well if I accidently leave someone out. Never my intention! You all have welcomed me with open arms. You all are such a wonderful group and thanks so much for not making me feel like a stranger!!
Love and Hugs

First off, Saint. Lovely to see you. A big beach hug. And a WHOOO HOOO about the scans.
Coonie, love your new avatar, although I did like the racoons too.
I'm not going to do the list 'cause I'm so bad at it. But I miss Toy and Checkum a lot. I think Checkum is still getting her "legs underneath her" so to speak. But Toy, I am really concerned about.
Gentle beach hugs. (Now off to find a pic and pray Coonie doesn't get the dreaded X on her screen
)Edit to say........LMAO.........well Faith, so does mine now. Too funny...........
Edit #2 to say, maybe the little one will work. Not as pretty.

Sharon. Hate to tell ya, but mine shows a very sincere red x. Drat.
But Curlie started our new page with great gusto...... so no worries! Curlie, as much as I adore Lucile, the avatar pic of you -- with your glorious red hair, curls, and knock-it-out-of-the-park smile is still my favorite for sure. I personally would vote for a return to that...... as much as I liked the monkey one, your own smile literally sparkled.
Beachie Bunnies, remember I told you that I made a pilgrimage to our library before my most recent road trip? [Someone remind me periodically how much I love to go to the library -- and when I run myself ragged how great a treat it is.... to take the time.]
Anyhow. In the arm-full of 'books-on-tape series' that I checked out, I've found an AWESOME series that I think might appeal to some of you beach bunnies, too.
It's called, "The Four Day Win" and it's by Martha Beck. No doubt it came in a book format in the beginning. I've listened to the first chunk of the program and it is truly excellant.
Teeny and tiny image..... can't seem to size it so that you can read the subtitle:
"End your Diet War and Achieve Thinner Peace." (LOL. THINNER Peace. Get it?)
She has her PhD and has written several other amazing books. The audio series is so excellant tho, because she is 'reading' the book, herself. She is full of wit, sarcasm and the occaisional swear word (disclaimer: the title of the first chapter "Why are you so DAMN Fat?")
Anyhow, it launches from there into brilliant mind-body up-to-the-minute research. She suggests all sorts of left-brain/right-brain activities that I'm doing and adoring.
And no kidding, I can already feel so 'thinner peace.'
OK. That's enough from my book report of the day.
I've just gotten back from a 52 minute walk around our cul-de-sac and hearing the birds wake up the world was a joy beyond description. I'm going to compete with our own MJ who walks for an hour a day...... I have a long way to go to catch up! Must say that I enjoy the aerobic country line dance nonsense, but this will have to substitute.

Dream...... isn't it amazing how many different, crazy, wack-doodle lists there are among women?
I've only been active on these 'boards' for a little over a year & I'm still in out-right shock and disbelief over some of the junior high school pranks, nonsense, nastiness and down-right rude behavior that I have observed and been the recipient of here...... makes my head spin on occaision.
Then I stick my head in the sand and let my fanny feel the warmth here and I smile all over again.
So sorry that you've encountered a sand-storm.
This site is a fascinating place. At times, much better than a soap opera.
I've worked very hard to turn off the drama-channels and just bask in the sun.
Best of luck to you as you let the dust settle.
Edited so that you don't laugh at my inability to spell in the morning. LOL.

Hugs Dream, come here when you need a friend. We seem to be a pretty friendly gang.
(Praying for no X.)

Good morning beachies. I'm gonna try not to list anymore. I ALWAYS feel that I leave somebody out, and it's defifinitely not intentional!! I love all my BC sisters. Like Sharon, I am thinking of Checkum and Toy.....Hoping they have the strength they need real soon! And Dream....big hugs (((((((((((((((dream))))))))))))))....so sorry you're having the hibernating feeling. Please come to the beach and hibernate with us.......they sure have made me feel welcome!
Ok.........beachies, I have a doctor's appt today....just my regular GP, but I hate going. ALWAYS have to wait FOREVER!! It's a necessary evil though at least once a year.
Hope everyone has a wonderful MONDAY!!!

Good Morning Beachy's.....
Got my Flips....Beach Towel & Chair......
Faith....... the walk sounds like a plan.....I need MOTIVATION though! The Gears are stuck on sit! LOL! I guess 8 hours on my feet running around some times is the Gear that Sticks it! Tee Hee!
Wish I had this on a mural in front of my treadmill.......MOTIVATION in view!

Just received this incredible 'thought' in my email inbox from BCO Linn from chat.
Hope that it brings an opening in your hearts as well:
Dancing With God
When I meditated on the word Guidance,
I kept seeing "dance" at the end of the word.
I remember reading that doing God's will is a lot like dancing.
When two people try to lead, nothing feels right.
The movement doesn't flow with the music,
And everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky.
When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead,
Both bodies begin to flow with the music.
One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back
Or by pressing Lightly in one direction or another.
It's as if two become one body, moving beautifully.
The dance takes surrender, willingness,
And attentiveness from one person
And gentle guidance and skill from the other.
My eyes drew back to the word Guidance.
When I saw "G": I thought of God, followed by "U" and "I".
"God, "U" and "I" dance."
God, you, and I dance.
As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust
That I would get guidance about my life.
Once again, I became willing to let God lead.
My prayer for you today is that God's blessings
And mercies are upon you on this day and everyday.
May you abide in God, as God abides in you.
Dance together with God, trusting God to lead
And to guide you through each season of your life.
This prayer is powerful and there is nothing attached.
Interceding in prayer is one of the best gifts we can receive.
There is no cost but a lot of rewards;
So let's continue to pray for one another.
And I Hope You Dance !

Goodmorning my dear beach friends. I am off to clean my aunts house today, she lives an hour north of me (she is the one that had a stroke) and then take her out for lunch. And also a trip to hobby lobby, I can't go north without that since there is not one in my itty bitty lovely town.
Dream, we don't have Sh&% lists on the beach, I don't know what happen but you don't have to worry here, just enjoy the waves and sand.
Julz, beautiful pictures and some of them made me hungry
Sharon and Coonie you girls crack me up. Glad checkum is doing better. The library here told me friday they couldn't get her book, I wonder why?
Jazzy one, I love you and hope you have a good week, when will be your last day?
Curlieq, that dancing bear is so funny. So glad your on the beach
(((((((toyful))))))) prayiing with all my might for you and don't forget to sneak me in your suitcase. I will be the one eating the chocolate and getting it all over everything.
Mary-Lou, have missed your post, drop on in when you have time.
((((((((((((footie)))))))))))))))))
Hugs and Love from A to Z. Husband ready to go. Back tonight I hope

Good afternoon Beach Babes. Just dropping by for a few, can't stay long. I hope everyone is having a great day.

Good afternoon everybody!! Hope your Monday is going good. Sitting in doctor's waiting rooms is sooooooo boring. My GP is the sweetest lady. She and her husband are partners, and so nice, but they visit with their patients and it just takes forever. I guess it's good if you're the patient they're visiting with
I thought about you Footie. Hope your docs are taking their time with you these days.

Everyone enjoy their day

Wow Spar what a great visual!
Hey beachies..... I think perhaps we 'blew' it. I just finally connected the dots on FB this morning and I do believe our Lisa SoCal just had her birthday a week ago -- and I seriously don't think we had a party and I say, it's not toooooooooooo late.
Get out the balloons, the cake, and all the trimmins girls.
Party Party Party Party
Some one really needs to accept the assignment of birthday monitor. Seriously.
