how about drinking?

Chrissy, Loved your travel update, btw...I always check that thread too. Yeah, you know how DorK is...she has been hogging BOTH Tattie Tenders, all to herself!! BUT, "Hunk" has been filling in, so will have him keep your dwinks filled up, and whatever else you want him to do....  . Have safe travels again tomorrow....can't wait to hear how much fun you will have in FL!

Oh no LIsa, many many prayers being sent out to you today. Glad you are going right to the ER, and hope it is something that can be easily taken care of. How horrid to get that sick after taking out those darn drains. Our NM is our resident nurse, but not sure if she is checking in, since she is in Vegas. Please keep us posted when you can, and get well QUICKLY!!! Healing thoughts and prayers being sent your way.........and many (((hugs))).

DorK, How is your dear daughter today?? Hoping and praying she is ok, too.

Love, Kathy

Yikes sorry for all the difficult news this morning. Lisa - hope you are feeling better and the ER was able to fix everything. If it is kidney stones, I know those are quite painful but apparently not as bad if you are male...

And DorK - ongoing health issues in your DS. I'm so sorry. I know how that is and it is very hard. Glad you and your ex can work together to help her. Hope she is doing better soon. 

Had a rough rehearsal last night and with the director losing his job he is getting very worried about his finances. I wish I could help them but with all my money being drained out of me with this huge money pit home and can't sell now .... just not sure what to do for them. 

Gail glad your procedure went all right. My director's wife had that done on Monday and she is overweight and in a wheelchair but she is very delicate with very sensitive skin and she was telling me how rough all the doctors were with her and how they argued with her over what meds she is allergic to. She is going to write a letter detailing what happend. 

LOL Stanzie, Sugar Night-Shock! Wooooohoooooooo.  OH NO, just saw it has changed, but will admit I thought it said Sugar Night-HOOKER, instead of HOOTER!

.....and DorK, those are certainly some dazzling thighs, you hot little mama you! (just sorry you are in pain). LOL @ Kathy working for discounts!

Hmmmm....wondering now the last name of Princess Glitter! But me thinks we should get permission first. I just don't know if it's a good idea to post something as personal as a last name.

DorK, you just never seize to make me laugh. Guessing Kymn's name, helping a friend save time, peeing from laughing, instead of leaking............but oh how true of that. We want to see your painting, and Kathy, we want to see the poppy when you are finished. I did not find BCO until I was finished with treatments, but better late than never, right? So sad about your PS, sending prayers out to him and his family. But how the heck do you go in and pretend you don't know what's going on?

Pink zebra water bottle....uh huh...suuuurreeeee!

Gail, we did not know, you did not tell....bad girl! I thought maybe I missed something until I saw Dork's post and some of the other gals. Glad all is ok. So if you have the colon of a 20 yo, you must have the body of at least a 30 yo! I have to have a scope done too, but the other end! Was not going to tell either, but it is Oct 7.

DorK, truly sorry about your daughter, def. sending prayers your way and hoping she is ok and nothing too serious.

Karen, I'm sure you are excited about the visit...have another glass of wine!

No tenant  Raquelle? I'm sorry, you were so excited about her, what a bummer. Glad you had such a great turn out in your painting class. For real, you CAN bring wine or beer?

Oh Lisa, me too praying. What the heck is going on, needing to send out all of these prayers. I so hope you are ok and you or DorK let us know ASAP. Ok, got the update. Hoping it is kidney stones and nothing worse. My DH has been going through that lately, and was in excruciating pain.

I'm in for the trip, will we all fit in the iPad? DorK, glad you and your ex are working things out with your daughter, still saying prayers.

NM, I hope you are having the time of your life!

Chrissy, I read your journal updates first, then head to the lounge!       

I will probably not be on for a few days, have to leave here like at 5 in the morning to catch my plane to MI. Will check in when I can, and at the very least, READ. Love and Hugs to all!

Awwwww DorK, what a sad day for you. I agree, life is not fair, and usually it is the BEST people that end up leaving this life waaaaay too early. Have you read the book "Embraced by the Light" by Betty J. Eadie? I read some of her books after I lost my dear, dear, dear DH....and it brought me some comfort, esp the part about us leaving when we have made an impact, or fulfilled our purpose on earth. (Not the right words but hope you get my drift). I realized my DH had been such a fantastic, loving guy who had left such a positive impact on everyone he met, and for me it would take several lifetimes to achieve as much. She had an out-of-death experience, and how she writes about it all is very moving. SO glad you have your appt today, so you can give him a decent goodbye. I know he has to realize how much he is loved and respected. And glad your DD seems to be doing better. So sorry she has to go through some health issues. (((hugs))). Thanks for the update on Lisa, and hope she is already feeling better!

Wahine, didn't feel the bump a bit due to the pain meds, just want to go home! This iPad at least keeps time moving while I wait. Planning to spend the day on the couch with my cat and old movies.. That's my plan, that assumes I get out of ER sometime today though! Cheers!!!

Kymn, that is just horrible, I'm so sorry. You know there are times when one just doesn't know what to say. Does he want to leave, can you do counseling? Maybe Beans, Astorm or DorK can help. But you know, if he does leave you...it's his loss, and would you really want to be with someone like that? What is with men, that they have the BALLS to say they don't like us after we have had cancer! Hugs for you!

Just learned something, and prolly the other airlines do it too, but Delta just sent an email about how you can TRACK your luggage yourself.... here is the link: https://www.delta.com/baggage/BaggageTrackStatus.action?MkCpgn=EM110901SMSTDOMESTIM04-C-D-A&personalize=remember

I always fly DL and had no idea about this. Maybe you can see if your airline has this feature too, just in case, b4 your trip, Lori? But hoping all your luggage arrives WITH you!!!

OK, major rounds of drinks for everyone today.....have both Tattie Tenders, as well as Hunk and the Wenches busy just mixing all our drinks.....dwink up girlz, sounds like we need it today!

Pau Hana time! Anyone still feeling like they want some more dwinks??? Seagrams/Diet Coke for me, how 'bout you?

Raquelle

The HTL is quiet tonight....munching on homemade chex mix and finishing the bottle of shiraz....supposed to go to a training tomorrow, but I don't work fridays and don't want to go...will email my principal in the morning and tell her I don't feel well.....getting more and more particular with my time.....in the morning will go out to breakfast or shopping with DD...she has outgrown all her shoes (so have I) and some clothes....she has a 4 day week-end.....she is going bowling with some girlfriends in the afternoon....then I will cook for shabbat...sweet dreams...

Kymn, I just send you a pm. I am so sorry. I am reaching out to you to help you. You shall find the strengh, some how some way. Are your kids with you?

Oh dear Kymn, I just got on the thread, and oh my, my heart goes out to you, like all of us here. Just so very sad and so very hard. So many of us have been through divorce, and although it is soooo very hard and feels like the ground is coming up to swallow us whole, please be strong and hang in there, dear friend. I think it is even harder, as you have been battling this disease, so your strong feelings are totally normal. I will send you a PM also. Big (((HUGS))) for you, Kymnie.

Kymn (you auto-corrected to Hymn on my iPad, must mean something since there are so many messages being sent on your behalf) hope you are hanging in there. My prayers and thoughts will keep flowing, now and for as long as it takes for you to feel better.



Wanted to post a good bit - feeling much better, appear to have finished with the stupid "stones" in the road to recovery. Wiped out but now back to business of healing from BMx, though with 2 day time out from PT. Just in time, cause my BFF is coming to visit today from London. The only person I would let come as she isn't a guest and can self-entertain. First thing I have looked forward to in a while!



One note, my favorite Ben Franklin quote is "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.". So my DOTD is going to be a beer, for Kymn, for DorK, and for all of us, we deserve to be happy. Hugs to all, kidney sto es to the curb, cheers!

Oh dear, Kymn. I'm so sorry you are having a hard time with DH. Mine was passive-aggressive for a couple of years but seems to be coming around. When they separate the girls to tell them about their periods in 5th grade they should take the boys off and give them some lessons on how to be in a relationship with a girl. 1. Learn to accept your feelings and deal with them and stop whining you're not a little boy anymore; 2. Grow up and stop thinking only of yourself you're not a little boy anymore! 3. Communicate your feelings instead of expecting the world to figure out what you want and hand it to you ... things like that... I think it might help.

I'm feeling better today but was pretty wiped out yesterday. I went junk hunting and found an art deco lamp for $18 and some great wood frames for $2 each at a thrift shop. One of the frames actually has a badly damaged painting in it which I'll have to discard -- but hey, 2 bucks! Then I put together a care package for DD... pasta pot (she asked for this even tho she keeps saying she can't cook!) and cheese grater, spices, and her sister wrote out her recipe for Fettucine Alfredo which she used to make for her...and I wrote out the recipe for red sauce...coffee beans from her favorite local roaster, a framed photo of her family with the lighthouse in the background, ... and now I'm on my way to the bakery where she used to work to pick up some biscotti.

DH has a round of interviews this afternoon. So excited! He really likes this company as they make medical supplies and devices. Also there is some travel involved which he loves... and I love being alone once in awhile...

Putting together a small dinner party tomorrow night... not sure what I'll make but dessert is definately apple pie cuz my kitchen is full of apples. I haven't had solid food, coffee or wine since Monday   tummy still say no, no, no. And my hand is bruised and swollen where i took the IV jabs. Why do they have to put the IV in my fragile, boney hands?

Sending hugs to all...

Started (real) Happy Hour, and will gladly dwink for DorK, Kymn, Karen, and anyone that might need someone to dwink for them. Wish we all were together in person, but thinking of you all, and raising my glass to the friendships we have here... *ka chink*

Lori, Are you safely in MI? I know you are enjoying seeing some of your family, So have fun!!!! (But post if you can and let us know what a good time you are having! So glad you were able to be there)....

And NM, Hope you are having a blast in Vegas!!!!! I heard Pants was moonlighting there for a couple of days, in a male strip show....

Hugsssssss,

Raquelle

edit: Hope there aren't a lot of unwanted babies being born soon....all those birth control pills that  are being recalled....were incorrectly packed....and were made here....yikes!
