NM, Wow can you believe we have wifi in the UFO.....writing this high in the sky, we will be with you in no time at all.....and are already teeny tiny. Can hardly see each other, but hear all the giggling and ice chinking in our glasses! WooHoo Mr. Big came to bartend (and whatevah) on the UFO. I thnk Pants is on da bus. We are WITH you today, and hoping and praying for the very best!!!!!
Lori, I am still not yet awake, and when I read your post, I read.... "Karen, sorry for your COCK issues".....LOL. Boy that woke me up!!! Maybe my eyes will focus soon since I need to get ready and outta da house.
Undie, Not sure if likker can be shipped between US states either. I used to ship my dad "moonshine" that we bought in ABC stores....really just very strong likker. At that time (yrs ago) it wasn't allowed, but I would pad it between lots of other stuff! NOw with their xray equip, I wonder if it would even go thru the system just in the states? Sorry you can't get it from your MIL, sounds like an awesome liqueur.
Everyone have an awesome day....guess we need to use one of the DOTD's from yesterday, or else just choose our own choice of poison! Missing NM's morning posts....Lori, do you have a DOTD for today??? You pick good ones too, thats for sure.....
Suck 'Em Up!

Hey girls, this is what I was dealing with last night whole town I live in and the City just 5 min from me on evac notice....it was a little scary had to pack up bags for me and the kids, find my picures, passport etc etc...tooooo close for comfort we had 140 km winds I think thats about 90 miles for you americans and it was blowing that grass fire at high speed, thank goodnes for the quick response of the firemen and women as of this morning we are safe and everything is contained . On a happier note the kids and I put the tree up and it looks beautiful

Hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving weekend.
Hugs Kymn

Wow kymn, that looked scary
Hi ladies, no i did not take the two pills the same night. When i was working we used to email Thought of the Day for a laugh. see what you can find
0 -
Kymn, dang that was toooo close for comfort! Glad you all are okay, but had a thought.....did you get close enough to the firemen to check them out??? Just kidding! Thought of you this morning as I had my 1st session with a personal trainer (more about that below), and her boyfriend plays on our ice hockey team here, but he is from a small Canadian town near Buffalo, NY. I think she said Ft. Myers.....or Fort something or other!
Yes, girlzzzzz, I am sorta sore all over now....lol. I watch Biggest Loser all the time and wonder how they can really get that sore and worn out....well now I understand! SHe worked me like mad for an hr and 15 minutes....circuit training, so not a minute break....need to have her go easy on someof the exercizes next wk as my bad back is killing me. But I was surprised at how much I COULD do. RIght at the end after the umpteen lunges, my legs were like jelly. I think they should put a bar in there, so we could have likker at the same time, and not feel the pain!
NM, Hope you are doing well....and hoping no one hears us! Trying to be quiet, but DorK keeps saying silly things and cwacking me up. OR...maybe it is Lori, you know, the "innocent" one! J/K Lori! Anyhow we are dwinking and having fun, but making sure you are being taken care of with utmost perfection!
Snow expected for tonight, but so much rain right now, that it prolly won't stay around long, as there is rain predicted all day tomorrow too.
Titz Up! Rump Rise! Slainte!!!

Don't know about likker, but wine can be shipped between states (with the exception of a couple)...I order my wine online all the time....it is from Chicago and I'm in Denver....comes via FedEx and needs to be signed for by someone 21....now thats a challenge, since i'm not 21!!!
In quite the funk....was okay till the middle of the afternoon....started sitting in a staffing at work today.....now I just feel like crying (but you know the story!!!).....everything is annoying me....irritable.....hate this feeling.......Just about time to open a new bottle of wine.....

Hey ladies,
Just popping in for a DOTD, I will have one of everything eberybody else is dwinking. We just got back from another nice dinner out, will take my parents out to lunch tomorrow then fly back tomorrow night

It will be so sad to leave my parents but they will be back up to NJ for Christmas.
I am thinking about Kim (NM) and praying that everything went well for her. I tried to peak out of Lori's pocket but Mr. Big was in my vantage point so me could not see what was happening. I tink I saw NM sleeping soundly.
Kymn, I heard about those wild fires and am glad you are alright and did not have to evacuate. I have a friend who lives in Pincher Alberta and she messsaged me to tell me about the wild fire. Are you close to Pincher?
I am surprised how many of you gals thought that Bernie took a sleeping pill and a laxative at the same time! Bernie, you are very funny. I had heard that in the form of a joke before so was pretty sure you had not done that.
Hey, I am waiting for photos of Scuby at her bday/anniversary princess outfit and also of Bernie with her million dollar smile. I am patient but don't want to wait too much longer (hint hint hint).
Who's dwinking? Pants, bwing me one more round of eberyting. I am berry berry sore but dat is because I am berry berry stewpid. I did something so dumb but will not tattle on my darn self.
DH is watching boring football with Mom, Dad is crashed out in front of another TV and I am chilling in their comfy kitchen with my laptop partying wif my bwest fwends. Hope to bump someone soonly.
Well better hit submit, thought I lost all this as my battery just went, I flipped de lip closed fast enough and powered up and you all still heres. woooo hoooo! Go Dork's laptop.
Sorry for not speaking to all of you but I do think of you all often.
Anyone hear from Stanize or Gail????? Miss you girls, COME BACK !!!!
Mema, I hope you are having a good day, I will be thinking of Shannon, "undie" and NM and sending prayers to all me gals here. Me woves you all sew muchly. Peace chickadee-dees! See ya around de lounge or awound town.
DorK ♥

DorK....I'm drinking with you....finishing a glass of camenere (sp).....too full to drink much more....made veggie lazagna for dinner.....
Any news from NM....sure hope she is resting easy and in not too much pain
I posted the pics on fb that the photog took...don't know how to post them here....I can email them to anyone that wants to see them.....Dh goes (about him)..."I should have had my picture taken"....when my Toronto kids are here next will do a sitting with the photog...she is so talented.....need to order pics and will also order jpegs.....
DorK...enjoy the last day with your folks....thats nice that they will be with you for Christmas....when I talked to Dad tonight he asked when is he going to see my...so I said to him...when are you going to see me and he said 2 weeks, 3 weeks.....not sure if he was guessing or if he really did remember that I am coming, but either way I was pleased. Mom sounded good tonight....but she is in denial.....I don't want her to place Dad before he needs it, I just don't want her to be caught off guard.....BUT...as we all know DeNile is a good place to be....and even my 13 year old DD gets this.....I commented at dinner that MOm was in denial and DD said if it makes her feel better then it was okay!!! and I told DD that I think DeNile is a great place to be....
Got on a scale today and can't believe how much weight I have gained.....I have not snacked the past few nights (yeah), but for some reason, don't feel optimistic about being able to loose the weight....I want to loose 10 - 15 #.....I am the highest I have ever been.....and I feel fat...even DH will admit that I look heavy for me....usually he laughs when I complain, but now he agrees that my weight is up....he is not being mean.....just agreeing with me which actually makes me feel better to not be dismissed about it.....
Last night I took my 10mg generic Ambien and 1mg Ativan....I get about 4 - 6 hours sleep without waking up, but when I wake up, I am talking out loud and it seems related to something I was dreaming about, but in the morning (or now) I can't tell you what its about....its very weird and disturbing in a strange way to be yelling and being annoyed.......but without it, I sleep just awful...and the 12.5CR really doesn't seem to work anymore....
The HTL seems quiet tonight....hope everyone is doing well.....Sweet dreams....Karen

Is anyone still awake,?? got the call to pick up meds and schedule first chemo for thurs. I DONT take meds and now have a bunch of them in my cupboard.....goes against everything I believe in!! Was in line checking out when I got the call to make chemo on thurs........can't even recall what nurse said to do with scripts.....gotta call tomorrow and ask again.......feel really silly. Strangely a bit of depression set in today when the chemo was scheduled.....was expecting relief from the anxiety.
Hope you were all blessed on Thanksgiving.
Thinking of you all,
cindy

Wahine-Not Sure about state to state. I do know 1 type of moonshine liquor is outlawed in California. No worries though,we'll either visit her next year she'll come here next year. One way or another we'll get it.*****JULIET-You're hilarious. If I ever take another cross country road trip I'm going to come visit you.*****GOLDIE-That was very nice of Karen to offer. My MIL was going to ship it and customs said the states don't allow food so they wouldn't even consider shipping it. But I found out it is dependent upon which country. I know for sure alcohol is not legal. But for some reason they just completely freaked out about anything being sent to the states. I think they just didn't want to make us mad. They're very much in awe of the U.S. But like I said 1 way or the other we'll figure out a way around that problem. *****DORK- Appreciate you thinking of me but what's wrong with me? Am I dying and nobody told me? I hate it when that happens.

undy i think it was because you were in walmart and we thought you had no alcohol with you! wouldn't it be great if we really had a roadtrip or met up somewhere! is the world ready for us all! i think i better start a bail fund in case it ever happens

Cindy, I am really sorry you got whacked with bc overload - and understandable that you would feel a bit depressed after today's (yesterday) events. We all have markers in our journeys - some up and some down but you WILL get through this. You have a great positive attitude which is most of the battle. HAng with us in de lounge, whine as much as you need to etc. Unlike the outside world, We understand, we GET IT.. I have lived chemo through others and others have lived through my many setbacks through my whiney posts. We understand. Sending you big bear hugs, hope you are sleeping peacefully while dreaming of being comforted by the man-tender of your dreams.
ooopsies,did I ramble? If so, Stella told me to say sorry. SHE made me do it ha!
Shannon, I was tinking of you becuz I felt like it. Me thought you was a battling a cold while being held hostage in the power tool department with your DH while holding the knowledge that there is a moon shine debacle. You are NOT dying, you silly girl.
Karen, I like sailing in De Nile. It is a healthy defense mechanism. When all else fairs, portend it ain't happning.
Scuby, glad to hear your kitchen is cleaned. I will be practicing my dwunk speak dis week with you, hopefully. Uh, do you have a bail bondsman? I fired mine....jk!
Well I am up way early, had very little z's. I blame two cups of coffee, a sore body and the sad feeling of getting packed up to go home. I do look forward to seeing my DD and my WD's; thankfully something good going on at home. Wish I could find a way to jump off of this emo roller coaster of life for just a day. For now, I will continue to portend.
Well time to shut my only opned eye. Peace, love and longevity to my girls.
Luv DorK and her twin sister Stels!

Good morning Breasties! Have been out for a while, but just caught up. Spent Thanksgiving at my older brother's who has five adopted children ages 2,3,7,9,and 13. Good times! Brought 13 year old Chelsea home with me, and she, DD and I shopped all day Friday, then my little brother, his wife and daughter came in from Nashville Friday afternoon. We all went shopping again, came home and started decorating. We all shopped more on Saturday, took the girls to see Santa, then my Dad came into town! Chelsea went home Sat night, but everyone else was here through Sunday. Oh, and did I mention my Dad and his wife are splitting up and he wants to move in with us for a while??? WTF!!!! He dropped that ball Sat night; should have known something was up when he gave DD $100.00 to spend at her favorite store!! He just left this morning, but will be back Thursday for God only knows how long!! Ugh! Oh well, don't mean to ramble or be a page hog, just want you all to know it's been very busy around here! House is decorated, though!
Have finished the project, but pictures aren't doing it justice. Have decided to take a video, and Lori is a sweety, she's gonna help me post it! Will try to do that later. Only have 2 clients today.
Kathy, awesome working with personal trainer!! You go girl! Do a few crunches for me, pwease!! I did sign up for the Live Strong program at the YMCA, but that starts Jan 17th. Still have that hysterectomy to get through, so just walking now. And I'm with DorK, too funny you thought Bernie took both pills at same time!! Pretty funny!! LOL!
Bernie, the thought of the day is good, used to do something similar with my Papaw when he was alive. Will think of something good to post later.
Sure hope NM is doing well today! Thinking of you, NM!
Karen, I hope your mood improves! Do you take Vitamin D? B12? Could be deficient. Hate you are feeling so sad. Will keep you in my prayers, sending happy vibes your way! I need to check out your pics on FB!
Juliet, think I'll start a bail fund just in case, too! LOL!! Would love to meet all you ladies! All the fun we have here in the HTL, can't imagine how fun it would be!!
Undy, I'm sure you will find a way around getting your liquor. Was buying wine yesterday, and they were featuring cherry liquer at the register; good stuff, thought of you!
Cindy, I thought your chemo had already started. Sending hugs your way, you will get through this, and we will help!! We will be with you Thursday! You asked me about scarves, I will PM you. Also, you can call if you need to!
DorK, Ummm, I mean Stella, safe travels home today! Know you hate to leave your parents, but so cool they are coming to NJ to see you for Christmas! That will be here before you know it!
Scuby, hope you're not working too hard this week! Hope all your calls take place during the day as well!!
Gail, where are you?? We miss you here! Come back!!
OK, gotta go take DD to the bus stop. Then I will work on the video!
Cheers Dears! Let's have some breakfast Beers!!

Ha ha....glad I was able to wake you up Wawa, with the cock...I mean CLOCK story! Speaking of Biggest Loser, I gotta say, I think that Dolvett is HOT! And yes, it was all DorK, you are right, I am the innocent one. See, Dork was in my pocket, INSTEGATING EVERYTHING.
Kymn, glad everything is ok there with that fire. We have had a couple near us too. 2 of the largest in AZ history, as a matter of fact.
Karen, aren't you glad you're not 21. I would not want to be that age again. For me, I would pick anywhere in the 30's or 40's. You should be able to just copy and paste your pictures here, from facebook. I will post them for you, if you would like to email them to me, lori@mrdrip.com
DorK, you are bad bad bad and should be tied up, and not by any hunk. Girl, you are gonna land your darn self right back in the hospital if you don't stop it! Having said that, have a great day with your folks today and a safe flight home. And no, I did not really think Bernie took those pills, silly woman.
Cindy, we will hang out with you on Thursday. You can ask us too about whatever drugs you got. After chemo LOTS OF WATER! You want to flush that toxin out of your body, along with the rat bastard. Have you gotten your actual diagnosis?
Shannon, are you currently going through treatment? We have so many new gals, I am not quite certain who is in active treatment.
Bernie, you are done, right? How are those burns healing?
Juliet, do we need our bail bondsman? Can we handle another man around here? I KNOW we could cause some trouble!

I declare THE ROLLER COASTER as DOTD, sounds like a good morning drink too.
2 parts Amaretto............3 parts grapefruit juice. Nice and healthy! Mix together with crushed ice in a glass and garnish with mint leaves.

And then lets go for a ride!

DEEP THOUGHTS BY JACK HANDY
If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is, "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is, "Probably because of something you did."
To me, it's a good idea to always carry two sacks of something when you walk around. That way, if anybody says, "Hey, can you give me a hand?" You can say, "Sorry, got these sacks."0 -
Lori, Love the DOTD and then we get to go wheeeeeeeee on that roller coaster! Sounds like a fun day. Hey, we should add an amusement park to the HTL.....how wild would that be to go on all those rides with a dwink in ea hand! LOVELY bail bondsman you added.....wow!!!!
Funny, Bernie!
Cindy, We will be with you Thursday, if you want us to! I know you will do fine, but lots of girls have hints about what helps. I didn't have chemo, so can just hold your hand and help you thru it.
Very sore today from the personal training yesterday....yikes they put me thru the wringer and I have not exercized in sooooooo many years.....sure paying for it now! LOL.
Ok, gonna grab a Roller Coaster as Pants and Jock lined them all up on the bar, and Mr.Big is bringing them to us on dwink filled trays.....life is sweet!
Hugsssssss,
Kathy

Kymn, What can we say but...WOW! You have come such a long way, and deserve a big hug and a pat on the back.....you are really working thru all of this, and I am so proud of you!!! To see a long post from you is just awesome! Keep up what you are doing, it sure is working!!!
Juliet, Glad the MRI is behind you, now to wait for good results!
Lulu, Depression sucks, big time. But hang in there, and vent when needed, and we will be here to help you through it. Sweet of you to offer a dwink!
I had happy hour with my parents, and it is just so sad to think they will be leaving soon. Their next door neighbors came over and gave them a pass thru the Botanical Garden light display, so we will drive thru that tomorrow night. It is so awesome to see. They really have nice neighbors here and will miss the Christmas party, Luminary night, and Santa's run thru the neighborhood, and that is just in the next few days. DorK, thinking of you tonight, and realize how sad you must be feeling. Hope your flights home are nice and not so crowded.
Cheers Dears!
