DOES NOT LIKE the crate. But...I'm patient. Few mins in the crate, then 5, then 10, then 15 mins. Next day, 10, 15, 20, 30 mins. Next day..so on n so on. Now day 8, yesterday (I'm in LV for treatment) DH puts in crate, goes for dwink, 1 hr later, I'm back,n meet DH for dwink. 1 hr later we back home. Baxter in crate 2 hrs....but wait...he's not in crate...door to crate COMPLETELY off...Baxter nowhere to b found....OMG...I'm crying, DH cryin...bof us callin for em. Not likin this a bit. Fenced backyard...don't get it...then, there he is...YAHOOOOOO! Was hiding...see if we really missed him. But WTF....he is a Shi-tzu...how the heck does he bust down the crate door.???

Hi Sue, OK got it....gotta put de choklit in de milk.....will twy dat next! You ran outta da wodka? Hope you got it replenished! OMG how scary to be missing little Baxter! How in the world did he get outta dat crate??? You might have a houdini (hey houdini and wahine rhyme!) on your hands.Maybe one of our other furbabies helped him get out....they seem to do things when we are all off dwinking! J/K. Looks like such a sweet furbaby, too. Enjoying having the nightcap with you!
Welcome Canadianmum! No way to know what causes bc, just live the kind of life you want, and if it involves likker, all the better!!!

Canadian Mom, WELCOME! Get reading, it is required that you read every page prior to joining our lounge hehehe, jest kidding ya. Like you, I did not start dwinking until about ten years ago. I can tink up many reasons that BC hit me but we will neber eber know.
Hoping to hear someting about NM real soon. I will brb, have to step into the HTL chapel and say a few prayers.
Ok, said a prayer that NM is jest too high to visit here. If you see this, Kim, know I am praying hard for a quick and easy recovery. Sending you lotza hugzies. I miss you!
I have to say I am loving that we have so many newer gals. So many jesst pop in for a night den leave us. We are a tight gwoup and know how to have fun. My "DH" always says that he approves as I have showed him some of the funny pics and talk often about me bwest fwends. Funny, he will get the players names mixed up at times but he even feels like he knows some of you since I talk so much about me girls. (not me titz but me bwest fwend chickadee-luvs.
Kathy, I was told to put the little bottles in a quart size zip lock and put them in my carry on tote. I was pretty sure that they would be confiscated but they were not. And thanks for your pity, I need a pity partay. I am so tired of complaining and groaning over all dis shit pain. And I am so sad thiking of my parents and their everyday struggles. My Mom can not even bathe herself or feed herself. She gets sooo confused. She does seem happy though although she crieds sometimes and cannot express why. I think she is frustrated. Oh, let me know what time to cry with you on Saturday - hope I do not start too early, gads, getting choked up now. ~sigh~ can you tell me, how did you get the name Wawa? Is that Mema Sue's doing? I must have not retained it as I do remember some chat about it.
Beanie, I love your new avatar. I hope you and DH had a nice time away for de day of de bir
Hi Chrissy, I liked the pic of you and Karen. It reminds me of your time with me..Keep those titz up.
I know I have much more to say to you awesome ladies but I am dozing off here and typing wif one eye opened. I have to be up early tomorree for PT. My calander is quickly filling up wtih appointments again. Oh joy.
Love you gals. Peace, love and happy wishes for each of you vunderfall goils. Good night!
CheerZ!

Beanius-Thank you,appreciate all of the support.*****GOLDIE- Never tried the slammer but I will now. Have you ever tried Midori? It is very sweet but good on the rocks. *****KYMN-Vegas is much more fun without a DH,FAH, and a regular AH. When you go by yourself you get to do whatever you want on your own time. I like to go see the sights,drink,take in a few shows,drink,walk around the city,drink. Anytime you need a Vegas drinking partner just let me know. Okay tonight i'm toasting you girls with white chocolate liqueur.And yes,it is as good as it sounds. CHEERS!

maybe htl trip to vegas!
in work can't drink the real stuff but need it! 0 -
Juliet-That's perfect. Still going to send you a cocktail even if you can't drink. Hope you like white chocolate. By the way we're having hurricane/tornado force winds in so cal right now. If anybody sees a red and white house flying by could you grab it for me?

love white chocolate! will grab your house if you pass, just don't land on me

December 1st and its winter in Denver....yesterday 64 and today 24....its windy and snowy and cold!!! Was supposed to get together with a gf this morning, but we cancelled due to weather/driving.....I have and 8:15 appt and would love to cancel it due to weather!!!! But not sure if I would get charged or not......DD has 12 noon interview for the IB program.....So need to pick her up at school and drive her to the interview and then take her back to school....her middle school and the high school are only a couple miles apart, but with the lousy roads, it will take longer than normal to drive.....Will go get her lunch while she is in the interview....and what fun as all the high school kids will be crowded in the place!!!! Well....I best jump in the shower and get ready for the day....

Oooh is there any white choc liqueur left? If not, will send the Tattie Tenders out to get more....sounds yummy!
DorK, you are right, MemaSue was the loungette that gave me my newest name, WaWa. Gee thanks, Sue....just kidding! I'll answer to *almost* anything nowadays. Hope your pain will subside today....mine is finally manageable. But the past 2 days were pure torture! OH, so sad to have left your parents, esp with all the care your mom needs. You can start cwying wid meesie verrry early Sat morn. My mom got so tired in a store yesterday and then felt dizzy and I was afraid she was going to pass out, so yesterday was NOT a good day for her, and then with my dad acting like a a$$ last night, was just not fair to her. She already hates that they are going back to HI and I am afraid she will really get depressed.Usually she is so upbeat and happy and someone everyone wants to be around.
Hi everyone!!!! Too many to mention, but l am thinking of you all. And NM, puleez let us know how you are doing! DorK said a nice prayer for you in the chapel (I was listening and praying along too), and we all send you our very best!!!
Slainte!
Kathy

Wow, 2 pages to catch up on, just in 24 hours? This is one hoppin place! Well, ‘tis that time of the year for me. Went yesterday for blood work, young gal...got it on the first poke but had to dig around a little once she got in there. Currently we are on our way to Phx. (4 hrs one way) for mamo and bone desity, and of course they are giving snow! 2-6" in our area and 6-12" across the rim that we have to go across to get to the valley. Packed an overnight back in case things get too bad.
Bernie, I can't take credit for the pictures, I just posted them for Karen! But thanks anyways.
Mema, is sure is hard keeping up here, and you can have as many Rollie Coasties as you want, but you CAN NOT fix them yourself, that is why we have the Tenders. So glad you found your Baxter, cuz he is such a cutie, maybe the latch on the door was not secured? Thanks for picture post, always nice to see a breastie. You got one of you with hair, so we can see the REAL you?
Ha ha Beans, was going to ask if your cat was eating or sick, but you answered me question...lol. Cute notepad from your nephew, sure glad we can all laugh about sitchieations.
Kathy, maybe mom was exercising the other day? Glad you are starting to feel a bit better, don't let that gal be so hard on you next week. Sorry your dad was grumpy for ride, sure hope he is not too hard on your mommie and I hate it how she gets so sad when she has to go back to HI. It's just not right. Why doesn't she stay and just have your dad go back? I dunno, just so hard on all of ya's.
Ooooo DorK, you is mean....Goldbug doesn't lie and as for the tip...we can just tip a few togedder, k? How do you get the likker thru security? I thought you had to take all liquids out? Oh my....you fell? And TWICE? You poor poor sweet Dorkie, won't your doc give you anymore percs? (percocets) I am so sad for you being sad for you folks, I wish I had something to say that would help, but I don't. I do have a hug tho, and more than one if you want it. I'll be gentle, promise.
Canadianmum, welcome. Come in here and drink as much and as often as you like, we encourage it. And I'm pretty sure none of us blames alcohol for our cancer, I know I don't. And I never walked on creosote train tracks, so can't be that either! Maybe it was Sponge Bob??? LMAO!
Chrissy, I AM in word........so sorry you lost your post, that really truly sucks. But it's still nice to see that beautiful smiling face of yours.
Undie, I think I have had Midori, at my brothers. They have a ton of different liquors and they don't go for cheap stuff! The Slammers I did way way back in da day. We do Vegas a few times a year, but for business. It is only 7 hr drive for us. I think I have asked before, but what part of SoCal are you in. We are there couple times a year too. My grandkids are in Oceanside.
Safe travels for today Karen. I am currently crossing the RIM that I mentioned earlier, no snow yet, but very cloudy.....it's a comin. I have been on here reading and typing for over an hour and a half!
DOTD..........PICKLED BRAINS
Instructions
(Works best when drinking with friends). Pour the crème de menthe and the kahlua into a shot glass, and then carefully add several drops of advokaat. With a straw, carefully suck up the drops of advokaat, then as quickly as possible knock down the drink. As soon as you've finished, put your straw back into the shot glass and with your hand cupped over, suck in the 'fumes' left behind and try not to choke!!

Lovin the DOTD Goldie! Miss NM, hope all is well with her. Just a quick catch up and check in, DD has strep throat and has been home all day. She will be back at school tomorrow, but I've been lovin on her all day today. Chicken soup for dinner.
Welcome Canadianmum! And you and Memasue crack me up, I drink because I have a kid!! LOL! Memasue, how the hell does a lil dog like that get out of a cage?? LMAO! Love the pic of you and DH, how nice he shaved his head for u!!
DorK, u better start taking better care of yourself, Mr. Big is passing out spankins pretty often around here lately! Hope you and the Scuby are having a good time!
And Kathy, cracks me up that you get yet another name, LMAO!
Cheers Dears!!

Mema Sue, remind me to tell you the story of my grandbaby getting herself out of her crate while under my care.
Quick pop in to check for news on NM. Has anyone heard from her? Kathy, do you have her tele#? I am getting concerned, it has been four days now. Gonna pop in the chapel right quick then leave for my dinner date with my Scuby luv. I get to meet Mr. Scuby, sooooo excited.
NM, I miss you and I am praying that you are alright. Please report to de HTL ASAP. Love you muchly!!
Will report back, later. I have an early AM hair appointment (well 10am is early for me), then preop appointment in the PM, will be addressing my fn leg/hip/butt injury.Learned valuable lesson about playing super woman. Will share later. So pissed at de DorK I am. What I do for a Mr. Big spanking. It was not worth it.
Love ya girls, sorry will catch up on reading later.
CheerZ!

Hi girlz, Pretty down tonight as when I got home and got the mail, one of the Christmas cards was just signed by the husband of a good friend of mine (from waaaay back). I knew they wouldn't have split up as they were so in love, after 40+ yrs. SO searched the online obits and found out she died back in August. I never even knew, and now don't know what happened to her. SHe and I were real close when I was still working and when my DH and I married out of town we ea invited just one couple (besides our kids),and she and her DH were who I chose, to attend. Lately we would run into them in Tunica, or catch up at Christmas. So I had a toast to her memory at my parents house, and would still like to raise my glass to my good friend, Zula, may she rest in peace.

Sending ((hugs)) love and blessings yur way Kathy. Love you Chica

WaWa - am sooo sorry bout Zula...u r in my thoughts girl. Whatta a shocker. Will share in that toast wif u, n 1 fer ur mom too.
Dork - Gotta hear bout the grandbaby....I hope we talkin grandpuppy...cuz if u b puttin a baby in a crate...well, I jes don kno bout that! N what in the ba-jeeez u do to uself woman? Ya kno ya gotta share it n soon.
We r all goin nutz bout not hearing from NM...been prayin like crazy too.
Goldie - uck, not sure I can do that DOTD...but I'll have something fer sure. B careful goin over that rim. We had all that wind too, n much colder temps today.
VEGAS?!? I'm 90 mins from LV...any of ya all get out here, be sure n lemme kno...I'll b there.

Vino - I agree w/u bout DorK...she needs some serious discipline..ya think!?!? Don't kno bout my Baxter...he did it the 1st night we put him to bed in his crate too. bout 1am I'm awaken by a wet nose in my face. Thot then that I hadn't secured it...but this 2nd time...it def was...he's jes too smart for his own good...n my piece of mind too...lol.
DH wants the pewter, so Bottoms UP..til tamary!

Thanks MemaSue, and Allison! You girlz are da bestest. And since da DorK is in pain, thought I would send by some JD just for her....

Goils, NM will be feeling like crap......the op she has had is extremely painful so she will be under the weather for a while and not feeling like posting. Give her some time to get through.
Kathy, sorry to hear about your friend......it is such a shock when things like that happen. Raising one for her...................
Love n hugs. Chrissy

Thanks Chrissy for the kind words. And as for NM, yes, I agree with you that she will won't be feeling well for awhile. Thats why I hesitated calling her. Hoping and praying she is healing well.
Hugsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss,
Kathy

Cold, snowy gray day here in Denver today....40 degree drop in temp from yesterday to today....winter will be staying for at least the next week...snow is done for now...Its in the single digits right now.....
Kathy....I'm sorry about your friend....my condolences....sorry you had to find out this way...hugs
NM...thinking of you and hoping you are having an easy recovery
DorK and Scuba....how was dinner tonight?
DorK...what surgery are you having now (now that doesn't sound very nice, but don't know a better way to ask as I forgot what this surgery is)...be sure to let us know the date so we can be there with you....
Sunday we have our home visit and interview with Big Dogs Huge Paws....the dog I had fallen in love with just by the pic has been adopted....DD has here eyes on a St. Bernard....there is a St. Bernard/Great Pry that is really cute.....There is also a Berner/Rottie in Prescott that I am interested in....just not sure if I can get down there before I go to my folks....My son isn't interested in the St. Bernard...but keeps reminding us that any new dog has to get along with his Bear....and get this...the dog is AZ is names OSO...my son said that is Bear in Spanish...
I saw my therapist today and sooooo angry when I left the appt.....but the thing is, I'm not sure if I am angry at her or with myself. I really liked her when I first started seeing her, last winter, but this time around, since this fall, I am more and more frustrated....I didn't see her most of October because of my holidays and was feeling pretty good...and since I've started back, I'm not doing as well....its too long to go into all the details, but I'm beginning to think that her type of therapy is not the type I even believe in...I'm so confused.....And get this....she was appalled when I told her I drink 2 or 3 glasses of wine every night...and she thinks that I should not be drinking...Maybe its just time for me to accept that where I'm at or who I am today (even though it is not where I want to be)...or course thats not what she thinks...she thinks that maybe what she is doing is working...that it is stirring things up (why I am feeling worse) and that its a slow long process...Mind you, I would pay anything to get to where I want to be, but I'm so tired and frustrated of dealing with the emotional stuff for so many years....I need to talk to DH about it all (yes, its ultimately my decision), but I don;t think I will go back....I should have journaled this morning when I was so ticked off, but I decided to walk instead...
Listening to the weather....more snow Friday night into Saturday (only 2 - 4 inches for Denver) and again Sunday night into MOnday....will only be in the 20's thru Monday....
Well...I guess thats about all for now....whose in the HTL? Anyone joining me in a glass of wine...a mix of merlot and cabernet...
Hugs and sweet dreams...

Karen I think you have to do what's best for you.sometimes the doctors they give us aren't a good fit for us. couple years ago I went through 3 doctors before I found the primary doctor I liked. you just have to hang in there. this time of year can be very depressing for some people. the winter,the holidays. I don't like either so I can't wait till it's all over. you know my sister lives in parker and she thinks they have better weather than in southern california. your post just proves she's crazy,hahaha.*****Wahine- Sorry to hear about your friend. But luckily there's plenty of white chocolate liqueur in the htl,sending you some.*****Goldie I live about 2 and a half hours from oceanside, about an hour from palm springs and about an hour from hollywood. I'm in san bernidino county. you know I'm not even going to try to correct all the mistakes my speech to text is making. I'm sure you'll figure it out. cheers girls.
