how about drinking?

Ditto on the good morning. Weather is nice and fall like here in Philly. Big baseball game tonight, yay! Sheryllynn, maybe not flipping off DH is a mental block, not physical!? Hope you figured it out and/or got over it.



Hitting the hot tub then errands all day, haven't helped much with the day to day since surgery 8/8, so actually looking forward to the grocery store and home center!





Hope all enjoy the day, no matter how mundane or exciting it seems to start. I am feeling better everyday and grateful to all of you for helping me through so far (more to come, but for today, I am just going to be a good wife and baseball fan!). Oh Pants, something in an Irish Coffee?



Cheers!

Good morning girls! Stumbled across this site by accident this am while googling wether or not to have an oopherectomy verses tamoxifen, and have to tell you this is a much better topic! Lol. Hope you will welcome me to your group, as I am typing this I have a bit of a hangover from too much of my husbands homemade wine, so please bear with me. Will try to get back on a little later today and edit my profile. In the meanwhile, please know you all have made my day! This is the best site, and topic, I have found since my diagnosis in April of this year! Good luck on your yardsale Kath! Hugs from Kentucky, Allison

Welcome Allison!!!  Sounds like your husband is an ace vintner.  Aspirin and coffee should help big time here. 

If you can get out for a walk, it should help.  Had a cycling event the day after serious wine tasting.  Should not have been driving to the cycling event early in the AM, but I did.  Anyway, about six miles in, I stopped for Gatorade, and then was fine.  Man, was I hurting for those six miles though.

Sheryllynn......I am wondering if you are having weird symptoms from Anastrazole (or AI).  You might post on the Arimidex threads.  BTW - I choose to believe that I am CURED.  Most early stage patients are.  Not remission, but cured.

Kathy....sorry about your daughter.  At least no one was hurt.

Kymn....echoing NMs words.  Please take care of yourself.  I am so sorry you have to go through this.  Just so unfair.

I am trying to get going so that I get my sorry hide on my bicycle.  Just a training ride.  Wondering of those crumpets from the crumpet shop will help.

Have a great and fun weekend. - Claire

Kathy.....you mean you can't walk three miles????  I could have done that one during my worst AC days.  Get out there and get thy hide moving.  Only time I would have passed on that one was immediately after trashing my ankle this past summer.

I know this for sure because it's three miles around Green Lake, and just a bit less with my Queen Anne Hill walk.  You don't have to be fast, just do it.

Other news with me is that I finally got to connect with Main Squeeze.  He is doing neoadjuvant chemo (Gemzar) for pancreatic cancer.  They got it at Stage 0-1, so an excellent prognosis.  He is struggling with this one, as all his extended family had him dead and buried.  Not a fun road ahead, but his doctors believe he will be cured and have a full recovery.

I am beyond thrilled, as had feared the worst.  However, I kept up hope because it took three tries for them to find any cancer cells.

The rest of the "connecting" went well too, so I am smiling, if a bit sore, today.  Not so sore I can't cycle though.

Think I will celebrate by taking myself to the wine bar later.  Last day for one of the servers who is headed for a bartending gig in Antarctica!!! - Claire

Or you could make your gals jealous and have Pants or Hunk accompany you! Yeah I know...cold one meant a brewski prolly, just kidding ya. Tired after being up so early for the yard sale, but will be having Pau Hana soon with my parents. They are doing much better that I was expecting, so that makes me vewwwwy happy!

Luv Y'all, Rump Rise!

Kath

Mornin ladies. Yes, Scuby awake and at it early. My team (phillies) may lose, but I for one am up and oolong. Pants, have been a bit demanding, maybe it's your turn...



All this groceries require cooking, on it.



Alison, cheers to returning. Wahine, love your parents. You reminded me to call my mother. (not directly). Me and my dad were always so close, it has been another effort to remember to call her. No matter what the dynamics, they gave us life, one way or the other. Dork, has been so nice, love you, hope you enjoy today! Cheers, Scuby. (yes, heading to the hot tub.)

gotta fly!! tits up!

NM - your surgery sounds like it has a lot of ups. We have had so much surgery we're professional patients! I have had trouble with anesthesia too (like after my bmx on a Friday... I wasn't waking up and the anesthesiologist had left for the weekend) and I get really sick. But the last 2 procedures were fine. Maybe they finally got the right dosage? Anyway, hope yours is uneventful.

NM & Kathy - I got Zumba for Wii cuz DD1 wanted to try it... it is still in the box... she is gone... maybe I should try it... maybe not.

Kathy - how was the garage sale? IMHO the only thing worse than going to a garage sale is having one at my house... but that's just me. DH threatens to have one all the time but he doesn't scare me anymore as I now realize he would rather ride his bike to the beach and play volleyball than do chores or organize a garage sale!

Ok, I'm still 5 hours behind and the buzzer just rang so I have to get dinner on the table. I'll be back shortly to catch up and with a JOTD...

Husked, sorry Wisconsin beat up on Nebraska. One of our good friends is from Lincoln and an alum, always hear about it. Good news is that our phillies won. Better news is DorK is having fun, Gracie is adorable and Pantsjust finished serving me a hot toddy in the hot tubby!



Fun, mundane day! Cheers all!

YAY, BAMA mercilessly beat FL....38 to 10 I think....I dunno...I was already in bed b4 DH came home from watching the game w/ my Dad...AND he left b4 it was over so my Dad could go to sleep! I was just totalled from not getting much sleep b4 the yard sale. Such a nice, crispy, cool weekend.....very invigorating!!! Glad your team won too, Scuby! Sorry yours lost, Kristy. And YES of course we remember you!! You silly girl....glad you stopped by for a drink! Don't be a stranger anymore!!! Such an adorable pic of Gracie....she is the princess of our dog park here!

YAY Beans, glad you stopped by! Hope all your bizziness means more moola coming in! Sure miss you here in the lounge, and hoping you can stay and play with us. I think Jock is missing you a lot...he has had a sad face for awhile.

Gail, I agree, don't really like garage sales, AND I don't go to garage sales. But our community has one 2xyear, so that is the time I try to put a ton of stuff out. Since I am such a shopaholic, it is all new stuff.I do better on Amazon and ebay, but did end up selling enough to make it worth it (I think). We did sell a couple of things we were going to put out for the trash men (huge mulcer/shredder that is bigger than a mower, and also a spreader), but put a small price on them, and they went quickly. Neighbor put out a FREE recliner, but no takers for it....LOL. It does have alot of stains on it, but if he had put it out at 7:30 when all the older men with money come around in their fancy trucks/trailers, they would have taken it in a heartbeat. Lots of them do resales, so they come b4 you set anything up. I had $15 on the $400 mulcher/shredder and a man offered me $10....I said "No, I think I have it priced low enough". So he made some snide comment, and a minute later had his $15 out and wanted someone to help him load it...LOL. Do you really have to drink the gallons of stuff b4 your colonoscopy? There is a MUCH easier way....just about a pint or so of stuff to drink. I can tolerate doing that method with no probs. I used to have to do the other way too, and hated it. Maybe your dr will let your DH do it the easier way, and he will actually do it. Yeah, he may have thought the "finger wave" was it! LOL. My DH always kids his drs that he needs some Johnny Mathis music on, first. OF course, the younger drs don't get that joke, as they don't know who he is! Funny DOTD....thanks!!!

Well today is the last day DH is giving, for contractor (really should call him A$$hole) to show up. Otherwise...dum de dum DUM.....phone calls tomorrow and he surely doesn 't want that! Makes us sick not only the areas he admited right at the front porch, but the rot they painted over (and areas they didn't even paint) that you can see from our sidewalk and driveway. I mean, COME ON, why did they charge us for work they either didn't do, or covered up w/out fixing or replacing. We bought all the materials. I think down the road we will have more damage from areas they assured me were dry and not rotten (very dark wood, under rotten eaves that were replaced)....I should have gotten on the ladder and checked for myself. Aaaarrrggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh! SO glad we only hired him to ruin the front of the house, and not the back also. LOL. Hope to find someone good for the rest of it. I don't know why, since this is a high-tech area that we have such shoddy workmen! My neighbors had someone do the same thing to their house, last year. When you find someone good, it is like GOLD.

Yup, I just woke up....so of course a very long, rambling post. Just ignore it, or gloss over it, girlz! Hoping our Dork and our Lori are having a blast. Hoping NM is not having to work toooooo hard this weekend! Hoping Kymn is doing better, and that Heather will stop by again for a dwink. Hoping Beans will find time to join us more often.  Hoping Scuby does not dwown in her hot tub, or fall off the bucket! Hoping Claire does not have a bicycle chain break. Hoping Karen had a good holiday and is feeling better. Hoping Kristy and Gail  can get their DH's in for a Heiny Scope! Hoping Donna joins us here, again. OH and PULEEZ forgive me, anyone I didn't mention....brain is not quite awake yet, and I am trying my darnest!!! Very much hoping that Jaybird, and Dee, and HunkyD will come back here and have fun with us! And of course Chrissy, we are following your journal, but hope you will be back in the lounge after you return to OZ after your fantabulous trip!

Myself, I am perusing the humongous buffet and filling TWO platefulls (lol), then will ask Pants nicely to bring me a few mimosas and Irish coffees.....yummmmmmmm. Oooh, I found a nice lounge chair right by the pool. Oh, oh, did I just push someone out of it? Terrible of me to do that. But they WERE passed out and prolly didn't feel a thing. LOL. Have a good Sunday!!!

Rump Rise! Titz Up! BARMEN!!!

Kathy

OOOPS Allison, I didn't mean to leave you out....you are our newest loungette, and I gotta get my memory working bettah!!! Awww so sweet yuor Booker looks like Maverick. We rescued ours about 7 yrs ago (they were about 2) from the dog pound....vet and I both think they are half English Springer Spaniel, and Maverick is also half Border Collie, and Molly is half Cocker Spaniel. Same markings, but different sizes, different ears, and different face size. Mav used to eat all of Molly's food....he was very dominant, and so she was so skinny and could also walk UNDER him. Now she has filled out, cannot walk under him, and gets to eat ALL her food! She was very shy and submissive to him, but from day one we taught him to wait till she finished to go to her bowl...so he sits patiently nearby and gives sideways glances at her till she finishes! They are both so sweet and loyal, but Mav just lives for any attention from us. When I am outside working, he is always right by my feet. We were told they were brother and sister but could tell Molly had pups at one time, so don't know their whole story. We were lucky the pound kept them after the date they would have put them down, as they are just so sweet and so special. OF course when we found them we had only intended to get ONE furbaby!!!!   Yummmmm....Kahlua sounds good!

hi chicks, just wakiing up after wtacing the sun rise over the ocen...body hurts fron sleeping outdooors wwatta blast, just wat te dcotor ordered  for z dorkister! cheerZ!!

The Denver Komen RFTC was this morning.....50,000+ people....it was HOT at the survivors ceremony....DH and DS ran....DD#2 and I walked......met our fund raising goal, but its half of what we raised two years ago...I'm amazed at how much some people can raise...the top fund raiser was over 30K!!!!  We raised about $750 and I'm quite pleased with that......Posted some pics on fb..

Doing okay....think I'm better off the prozac....no, I know I'm better off the prozac!!!!...doc mentioned trying MAOI's but after I got home and read dr. google decided against it...not sure if I'll try a previous med or just stay med free.....the old anti-depressants scare me....I've pretty much tried everything else, so not sure what I want to do......supposed to see my therapist this TH, but need to cancel my appt.....and because of holidays the next two TH and going to see my parents, won't see her till Nov...sure she'll be annoyed, but such is life......

Need to go do laundry and lots of tidying up inthe house..then tonight do work for work......Welcome to all the new loungettes....nice to see Beans post.....Kymn....you are in my thoughts.....Karen

Good morning to all of my breastest buds. NO WAY am I going to try and catch up! I will say welcome to our new gal/s. Kymn, hang in there girl....you will be just fine. Just be careful and aware. Karen, wouldn't it be awesome if the answer to your problems was to go OFF the meds? Wishing you the best.

Well, no gambling gods in Laughlin this past weekend AT ALL! Usually one of us wins a little, but not this time. No biggie tho, as we really don't spend that much. Went to the movies, I think twice, but can only remember one movie we saw! Dolphin Tales.....good family movie. Concert (Leann Rimes) was in a tent, they had swamp coolers but it was still hot. Chairs were old kitchen type chairs that were about 14" in diameter and no space inbetween them. I had a large person to my right and DH is big.....you can guess the rest! I didn't much care for her choice of songs, last year was better. Well, I have month of paperwork to do, DH is going to see the accountant at 9:30 this am.

Here is a video link of our Old West Town, and what we currently have done.
