how about drinking?

Good morning loungettes (first time I said that)

Boy do I need coffee NM I just read the drink and when it said old-fashion lass, I thought Oh I have some of my Moms' glasses.  OH I don't think tat's what was meant.

The coffe is ready, but y grandson isn;t up yet--I'm so f*ckin' lazy What's become of me.I have to get my own coffee. U guys have so much energy and I'm just a slug.

It's Dorkd's day Now 'm anxious for her--I hope it goes well and it doesn't hurt so bad. How long do u stay in the hospital for these things?

Over the summer I was in the hospital a couple of times for like a week each time and I found out I could use my compuer--Oh I was so happy--I don't think I was with u then or I really would have been cheered up alot. So now I know but the nurse had to set me up I had no idea what to do. I mean it only took her 30 seconds but between TV and the comp. I didn't want to be disturbed LOL Well I guess we just wait.

Thanks for the extra drinks yesterday Kathy, they were yummy and I did not spill my first ones when we bumped, it was a gentle one! As for the fall colors, the past 2 years of going there the end of October, they were just getting in to peak, then going to VA more so. So I imagine it will be beautiful, I think it depends on the weather as to how fast or when the colors start to change.

DorK, you always manage to make me smile girl. Loved the Titty Hokey Pokey and not sure I would call your month off a vacation! That certainly isn’t how I would want to spend mine! But you know we will be there with you love.

Oh Cami, I sure hope you get the burgundy, gheesh….it’s YOUR HAIR! And you should be able to do with it what you want. Especially if you had chemo and lost it all. Not sure what you are asking, about the path below what you are typing?

Booze cake, YUM. But anything with booze is YUM.

Cyn, hope you had fun carving pumpkins. I think I will buy some just so I can do pumpkinseeds!

Lynda, you are too kind. How much does your raku artwork sell for? Wow, going out with 3 dudes?

Kathy, glad your bloodwork was all goot! And you got cake!

Oh no NM…….I hope you have other covers to use. LOL @ that girl hanging laundry. Your prayer for DorKy brought tears to me eyes, AMEN and BARMEN. You always have the right words.

Well, I didn’t get to read everything, but glad to see things bizzier around here. Hugs to Alli and her family for the loss of her FIL. Will try to catch up later on.

ps... hope to report when I come back dat stink bugs flock to mese trap. de war is ongoing but i shall win, dey shall lose. God help me to not feel bad dat mese smothering dose damn bugs.

cheers 1 mo time x 100! love ye.

Meatloaf is good Bernie....you really cant go wrong with it unless you make it too bland...Good luck!

Camy......dont let your DD tell you what color your hair should be...go with the reds....if thats what you feel. As far as meat goes....they say alot of red meat isnt good for you....I loveeeee me some red meat.....although, I love veggies and fruit also..we had potroast two nights ago...it was soooo good...and last night hamburger helper with ground turkey...it worked...and definately a decent substitute for the beef.  I would check for chest hair Camy...my parents always said if I ate my carrots it would put hair on my chest....like that was a goal for me.

Kathy ...steak sounds great!!!  Tonight we are going to Chili's ...but I probably wont order steak if Im not paying for it. I've had that passion fruit yogurt btw...Im not sure of the brand but it was Greek...lol..like that helps...was either in the white container or blue?? 

Dorty.....thanks for clearing up Vida's identiy...I have a visual.

Good luck Raku on the dating deal.....its not easy at our advanced ages is it?? 

The Passoa looks yummy...do you drink it straight or mix it?

NM...I dont remember where I got that Maine list....but it made me a little Mainesick...All I can say is maybe next year...

((( Everyone )))

Have a great day!

Luv,

Cyn

Yup, there is such a thing as an "old fashioned" glass....originally was for the drink called "old fashioned" I guess (I only had one once), but now used for other "on the rocks" drinks.

Feeling yucky still....hope its just from the flu shot and I am not getting real sick. Lori, I had to wait almost 2 hrs today as my mom needed lab work and it was at the hospital and they don't take appts. And boy were they crowded...some of the ladies were talking about mutiny....it was funny.

Pau Hana time....gotta knock out this cold, or whatever it is. OH Bernie, I was trying to remember (too late for you for tonight though), but I think I put a mixture of ketchup, brown sugar, and orange juice on top of my meatloaf (make an indention in the middle, from one end to other)...sounds weird but tastes great. Haven't made that in forever. But "home alone" for a couple of nights, so I just picked up something.

Cheers Dears!!!

Kath

Hi goils....1st off....The Wall as of the other day!

 42 or 43 Ribbons I think.  There is one for BCO Angels (courtesy of Goldie) and one for HTL Gals (courtesy of Wahine).  And many many others. 

OK...About din time...but hey Bernie - Meatloaf a staple in my house and talk about Tuna Casserole....Velvetta Shells n Cheese, cook according to directions on the box.  Open a can of White Albacore (packed in water) Tuna, drain well, throw in with the shells and eat.  I'm an oinker when it comes to that.  I will make myself sick eating it too.  LOL!

BBL Babes!

LOL on the above, Cami. And hey, I remember dwinking Harvey Wallbangers, along with Sloe Gin Fizz, and all those oldies. And you mentioned White Russians earlier...my first encounter with those was when I was 17, and with my bf at his boss' house....oh we got sooo wasted.

Sue, That is so nice that you posted the pink ribbon wall. SO awesome!!!!

Well I didn't rest, but put together a tall bookcase...hardest part was carrying all the pieces from garage, to upstairs. NOW resting as soooooo many shows to watch tonight! Is anyone watching Asylum? I haven't seen it yet, so not sure if it will be one I will keep on watching or not. Survivor is on right now.....
Cheers Dears!

Katheeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Oh dear mema youse habs me laffing so hard bout da russian man...white russian..any man russian you...soooo funnnee. Then I read that Jengirl is sick again, omg that is awful Your poor daughter, and I know you must be worried sick too. Prayers and hugs for her, as well as you (((((JenGirl))))). (((((Sue))))). Have not heard of Mersa, though. How awesome she did so well and will be the SUPERVISOR....wow!!! Now to get her well so she can do her new job. Neat that they made that drink at your bar, sounds so goooood.

Stoopid me stopped watching tv and moving furniture around upstairs again....gonna twy to get back down and chill in front of the "flat". I am HOME ALONE, but that can be deciphered to mean "more work for me to do"...LOL...that is unless you all show up for a Lampshade Partay!!!!

Hugssssssssss to all of youse,
Katywaty

Glad your meatloaf turned out good!!! What is that saying from long ago..."Don't let your meat loaf"??? LOL. Anywho, WHAT ARE YOU UP SO LATE FOR, Bernie? Yes, I was yelling at you!!! OR you are up extremely early...that might be it! Hope you still have some of that good french wine left....so sweet of him to bring you so many bottles. My DH is at the casinos for a couple of nights, but if he brings me home money instead of wine, thats ok with me! He did REAL good tonight, I told him he should turn around and come home so he doesn't give it back to them....yeah RIGHT....its a 5 hr drive, so I know he wants to stay there awhile. Wish I didn't have so darn much work to do!

Hugssssss!Kath

Sue u'r dggtr has Mersa? or are they still checking her out.? I hope she heals quickly, u must be worried.  But a very proud MOM.

Bernie good meatloaf?? It's really not that easy to make, I still can't make a good one--Yet my dgtrs do??Not from me.

Girls where the hell do  u get all this f8cking energy? I always hirt so much and still walk all dizzy too. Ugh Being old ain't for sissy's and I am one. I funny I remember asking my Mom yars ago hiw sweet it was to see older couples holding hands and it was so darling to watch such love. And she said love? When u get older u start gettin dizzy (women more than men) and u'r holding on for balance. So when I was at work I even asked older people like it's so sweet to see u hold hands and I always got the same answer from women---"I;d proably fall if I didn't" Geeze did that hurt. LOL--My Mom was right--as usual. LOL So between meds and age I don't have a chance.

Oh BTW and this is embarrassing. But remeber years ago---I was a waitress and a bartender. I know and I don't know any drinks. I should have some in my head but don't know any. hahaha And I did that right after my divorce for about 10 years. Years ago they would say if it wasn't for divorced women there would be no waitresses. ??? But geeze it was good money. Especially when I was pregnant my tips were great and I worked til just a month before my dtr was born. Sorry 2 other boring stories--Unfortuately I;m full of them. and Thanks for letting me go on and on even if u don't read them (and I don't blame u) Remember I told u I was boring--so u were warned.

I'm up to early this morning and I have to wash clothes and try to do other things. Oh well---I'll check in later. Have a wonderful feel good day.

Lynda, I don’t think I envy you  dating at 50! And all of that cologne, I hope you weren’t confined in close quarters! Just not sure what I would do, but hopefully I won’t ever have to worry about it!

Dort, wasn’t me who asked about Vida, but dat ok. Cuz now who eber axed will know. But no one can top Stella. NM has been posting the last few DOTD’s

That Pink Tart looks mighty good!!!

Cami, glad you got your coffee and the nurse helped you with the puter in the hospital. I think you can get internet just about anywhere these days. And you are anything but boring girl, gheesh. Be kind to yourself. I think it lets us get to know you better when you (or anyone) throws in some personal stuff. Cute story about older couples holding hands cuz they’re dizzy…..lol.

Good grief, what is wrong with some of our posts? Too much likker I guess. Seems as tho BCO has had nuttin but problems since changing their format.  I never used to have to sign in, I have it in my favorites and just click on it, did not have to login. I do now, even if I check the box that says to “keep me logged in” ………anyone else?

Bernie, how did your meatloaf turn out? I had always found that a tough one, to make a really good one. Finally found a recipe that I really like. What other types of recipes are you looking for?

Cyn, I think today is your last full day in TX and you go home mannana? L My fart is sad foy you.

YAAAA for dry bedding NM! FINALLY! I was able to make out the ingredients in the DOTD. How long will you be in BAWSTON? LOL at not being offended cuz you don’t know what DorK is talkin ‘bout…..bawahhaha!!!

Kathy, hope you are feeling better today. I was just reading about taking honey and cinnamon for a cold and it knocks it right out, in just a day or 2. Taking it like 3 times a day. But don’t remember where I saw that. Hope your DH continues to WIN big and brings you home some MOOOOOOla!

Look at all those ribbons, thanks for sharing that Sue. And sorry, but I have to EWWWWWW on anything with velveeta. My DH loves that stuff, I can’t stand it, and call it cheese wanna be! Also I think that is great that you can improvise some of the drinks if you don’t  have all of the ingredients. OH NO, CRAP. Just read about your DD, my gawd, can’t that poor girl catch a break? I’m so sorry Sue, sending prayers for all of you. I so hope it is not MRSA and a big ole congrats to her for being numero uno on the promotional exam. I got an infection right after having my hysterectomy, went to ER in excruciating pain, 2 weeks after going home. While there, my incision just opened up. Anyways, they told me I had a staph infection, but I think they were trying to hide the fact that it was MRSA, as they had a helluva time finding an anti B that would work. Had to leave the incision open and let it heal from inside out. Was horrible, I didn’t think I was ever gonna get better.

Kathy, MRSA is a terrible staph infection that is very hard to treat and it usually rejects most anti b’s and can be very dangerous and is contagious.

From WEBMD:

What Is MRSA?

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a bacterium that causes infections in different parts of the body. It's tougher to treat than most strains of staphylococcus aureus -- or staph -- because it's resistant to some commonly used antibiotics.

The symptoms of MRSA depend on where you're infected. Most often, it causes mild infections on the skin, like sores or boils. But it can also cause more serious skin infections or infect surgical wounds, the bloodstream, the lungs, or the urinary tract.

Though most MRSA infections aren't serious, some can be life-threatening. Many public health experts are alarmed by the spread of tough strains of MRSA. Because it's hard to treat, MRSA is sometimes called a "super bug."

My SIL has severe peanut allergy.  Peanuts and peanut oil are put into so much food nowadays, as a filler.  When you start reading ingrediants on stuff, it's scary.  Her allergy only came on ten years ago and the attack very nearly killed her.  No warning whatsoever.

W. yep - not sleeping again.

I like simple easy recipes.  But have been trying to be more adventurous.  Too much time on my hands.

I mixed three different recipes to do the meatloaf - using flavours I knew I would like.  DH loved it and had cold leftovers for lunch.  I'm still in shock.  

Tuna is so expensive here and I love it, so will try that recipe for an occasion.

Me counting the days now - 7 of us going to Belgium next thursday.  Meeting up with some mates from England as well.
