Kathy, you find the dress AND BODY you want, and I will grant your wish. Hoping you don't get too sick, dang. Get going on those pills that Sue suggested.

Dort, I hope you don't get sick. Both you and Kathy just got over being sick.............sheesh!

ChEErs ma Dears!

Lori my moms name is Dulcie and she is one month off 87. The nurses have must been in and given her pain meds and a sedative which has made her a bit more settled and comfortable which is a good thing.



Love n hugs. Chrissy

Gonna post what I got so far before another catastrophe strikes.

Good morning, Loungettes, FINALLY!  I caught the nasty little bug that’s been going around the office and the nursing homes and the family, and everywhere  else and spent the weekend coughing up my toenails up whist peeing in my adult diapers and drinking gallons of cough syrup. Even called out of work yesterday.  This morning I actually feel much better (how much work does that take when all I did yesterday was sleep?)  and I must be on the mend because the disaster area that is my house is bothering me.  I've got to at least sweep the floor and run the dishwasher today.  In between naps.  But AFTER I have some coffee.  I think the headache yesterday was from caffeine withdrawal. And I'll probably have the chits today cause I got the sugar free cough syrup which has that sugar substitute that is also a laxative in it.  When will I learn to stock up on appropriate stuff BEFORE I needs it?????

OK, before everyone gets upset and worried--I did NOT have an asthma attack with this bug. I got on my inhalers and took my back up prednisone and took my xanax like clockwork.  As in I had several alarms set so that I didn't miss any doses.  If  today were a work day I would be at work.  I am glad to be able to chill one more day, but this is MUCH better than the episode last year.  I am bound and determined to avoid another episode like that, EVER again.  This is one "damned cancer patient" that will not darken the doorway of any emergency room ever again!

CynCyn--I've been going back through some older postings, gettting my brain back in gear and sorta up to speed, ya know.  You could call the police and say you've just moved in and found the door unlocked a few times when you are quite sure you locked it (small white lie, I know) and ask if there has ever been any trouble there that you should be aware of.  If there's any history they may not tell you exactly what but they'll let on if you should be worried. Another question for you--do you have a cat?  I used to live with a roommate whose cat could lock and unlock the deadbolt on our front door.  It was very freaky for a while until we actually saw him doing it!

Mema--I think you were talking to CynCyn when you mentioned your doggy barking, that reminded me of a thingy I saw in a mail order magazine one time.  It was a box that you hung on a doorknob, when the doorknob jiggled or turned the box let loose with a recorded big dog barking ferociously!  Might not be popular with the neighbors, but would keep your place safe!

DorKable--thanks for the endorsement! I'll be more than happy to help out Rakul as much as possible. BUT--Rakul needs a good, trustworthy team right where she is, one that has people who can write prescriptions and do procedures and such that she may need.  I can only do so much from a distance, but I will do what I can!  I hope you friend has a wonderfully schmancy time at the wedding , hmm, probably already has had a schmancy time at the wedding.  Bet she's changed her tune now! And it's ok to babble a bit, espeschally when you gets excited!  I live 'hearing' you go on with such excitement, I actually soak up some of the energy and use it for myself when you do that.  So keep it up, girlie! 

Ok, time for a short side note--not only am I recovering from being sick and druggged to the gills, I accidently put a drop of contact lens cleaning solution in my eye trying to clear off a speck of dust.  OUCH was the first response, getting the lens out and rinsing the eye with half a bottle of saline was the second and kicking  myself in the a$$ was the thirds.  So now I'm in my bifocal backup glasses (which I really do NOT like wearing) and rinsing my left eye every 15 minutes with a few drops of plain saline.  So my vision and my typing is suffering greatly.  And no, my eye is not damaged.  I asked my eye doc about this very sichiatshun when I changed to these lenses and got instructions which are taped (in VERY LARGE print) inside my medicine cabinet.  Remove lens, rinse with saline, cry as much as I want, take the other lens out, put on glasses, rinse eye every 15 mintutes until no longer red.  If red after 45 minutes go to ER. It's been 10 minutes, eye is no longer red, no longer sore, not even dry feeling.  So if my typing sooks crazy, chalk it up to my having a less than stellar first day of the new year.  Gettinga ll the cruddy stuff out of the way early on.  Did I mention that I really don't like wearing bifocal glasses????

Hey, DorKy--that house with all the snow looks a lot like the old "Captain's" houses along the coast of Maine.  Many of the same details, except the one in your post doesn't have a Widow's Walk. Beautiful homes, inside and out.  Lovely, lovely church. I can just imagine all the history in that place.  Don't blame you for boasting, you've gots lots to be proud of! If you live in the poor side of town, I wouldn't know what to do with myself on the rich side!

BBBBernie--Enjoy your time with your niece, and ignore the rest of her family!

WTF?!?!?!?!?!!!?  Here I am answering posts and find one I wrote myself!  I must have been already running a temp when I did that one, don't even bremember it!  Well, everyone have a good laff, I certainly am, and even Sadie is laffing at me laffing!

Well, anyway, moving on. . . . .  ('nuf laffin, Silly Saide!)

Mema--don't make too much of my being prepared for Maine winter weather.  It's a way of life up here, and, like most natives, I exaggerate  a bit to make myself look smahtah than I really am!  Most of the time the problems all go away in 12 to 24 hours.  Have fun with GS!!!!

Juliet--LUV the Happy New Year post!   Oooh, good idea for flavoring the next family get-together's dinner.  Usually in the summer, maybe I'll put it in the potato salad.  Or sprinkle it on some potato chips. . .

Goldie--Did Stella bring you luck at the slots?????? Or was she soley focused on DH runnin' Coke?  (That's what my mom says I used to call it when I was little).

Wahine--I'm playing a big session of kethup, too.  But I'm dragging it out, cuz when I get ketchuped I've got to start housecleaning.  I did take the Zicam, had only one dose in the drawer, though.  Didn't think to get more until I was on the way home and by then I needed to pick up the big guns of  guifenisen and dextromethorphan  (AKA robitussin and mucinex).  And depends.  Yes, depends.  With my asthma I get coughing so hard I pee myself.  Nest trip out (maybe later today, maybe tomorrow) I'm going to need to restock on all of those PLUS Zicam in every form it comes in and put it in the car, purse, nursing bag, etc, etc.  I do think the Zicam made a huge difference, though.  Thanks for the Reminder! I'm so glad that you didn't fall and get hurt, but I worry about some poor, more frail soul that could fall and break something, though. 

ORLA--Have you ever used a web cam or secret camera or anything like that?  Is it expensive or hard to do?  I've often wondered what Silly Sadie is up to when I'm gone, not to mention my neighbors!  Actually, I'd love to see some of the wild life that I know is around the house here. 

Cammy--hard to keep up here, isn't it?  Good point about cats and spirits, they re can be very sensitive.  I found one of those free aps for my iPod that 'senses' ghosts and 'translates' what they say--totally bogus, but lots of fun!

Goldie--I use a pill organizer too.  I'm just too lazy to try to remember if I've taken my pills on any given day, so I just look at the little box.  Empty--I'm good.  Full--Gotta get another cuppa coffee and gobble.  Now if only I could remember for sure what day of the week it is! 

OK, I'm up to SaTURDay, just had a coughing attack, discovered my inhaler is empty, found where I stashed the refills, now got a full one going, geesh, thought I had this thing licked already!  Time for another half dose of xanax, I guess.  If I can keep the nerves under control the rest of it stays managable. 

 OUCHOUCHOUCHOUCHOUCHOUCHOUCHOUCHOUCHOUCHOUCHOUCHOUCHOUCHOUCHOUCHOUCHOUCHOUCHOUCHOUCHOUCHOUCHOUCH

The handle just broke off my coffee mug and spilled VERY hot coffee all over my lap, my keyboard and half of my desk.  My keyboard is acting a bit wonky but getting better as it dries out.I have an ice pack on a place one usually does not put very cold things, hoping to avoid getting blisters in a vbery odd place.  Every time I type a v I also get a b right next to it.  Hmm, that seems to have settled out.  Every time I hit the period key I get a funny pop up screen.  OK, I amn going to have to go out to day, get some mnore cough stuff, a new keyboard, and whatevber else I can think of between nowq and then. 

Oh Chrissy, yes, I also am saying prayers for your dear sweet mom, Dulcie. And for you and your family. May Dulcie pass peacefully, without pain, and knowing the love of her family is surrounding her. My heart goes out to you all, and like Lori said, I hope you can find joy and comfort in the wonderful memories you have of her. (((((Dulcie))))), (((((Chrissy))))), (((((your entire family)))))

Well shoot, yup I got whatever it is going around with the painful deep cough...really KILLS my back...every cough not only hurst my throat and chest, but jars my lower back (degenerative disc) and sends pain shooting out. Slept on and off till after 12 noon. Taking nyquil liquid capsules, and a wonderful lozenge we got in NZ that is way past exp date but seems to be working well.Its called STREPSILS. NM, should I still take the zicam even though the sickness is here? I stopped it on Sat as I felt well by that afternoon (took it for 4 days). And does zanax help to be able to rest? My DH has this too, just hit us both like a ton of bricks on the flt home. Luckily the coughing didn't start till we got home, but omg what a way to ring in the new year. I DID have the flu shot, but could this be the flu also? OR just a bad chest cold? Do I need to go to a clinic, NM, to see what is is? I lost a cousin about 5 yrs ago to walking pneumonia that she didn't know she had, after she had a bad cold.

But it sounds like SO MANY of us loungettes have this, so maybe we caught it cyberly???? NAH, jest kidding. And oh yeah, Cami, although Goldie and Dorkie DO have great bods, those bods aren't theirs, so am glad Lori 'splained dat to ya. NO worries about showing us your pic...I hate all the pics taken of me lately, so I understand that.

Chit, dis cough is getting awful, and hurts like the dickens (whatever dat is). I love you all and send very happy New Year wishes to you all. AND special prayers for Chrissy and the peaceful passing for her dear mother.

HUgs,

Kathy

Oh Chrissy, I am so glad your mom passed peacefully. I know you are so sad at losing her, but hope you are comforted by knowing she did not suffer. You and your family are in my prayers, and I hope you are supported by the comfort and love from each other. I meant to tell you earlier that I like your mother's name...Dulcie...never known anyone named Dulcie but it sounds like a happy, uplifting name. Please have peace in remembrance of your wonderful years with your mum.

Love and Hugs,

Kathy

Chrissy I too am deeply sorry for u'r Mum passing--lossing our parents is so hurtful for all hat rhey meant to us. But wrap around the lovely memories to keep u in peace and (((HUGS))) to u and u'r whole family.

chrissy, this just popped up on my facebook page,its so apt , love julie

Chrissy,

I am so sad to hear about the passing of your Mom, RIP Dulcie. and that IS one of the most beautiful names I have ever heard.

It sounds like it might mean "sweet", in music dolce means sweet. And I know your Mom was a very sweet woman, you always spoke so highly

of her. The other girls have such wonderful and comforting words. And Julie, I LOVE your post, what beautiful words for Chrissy at this terrible time. It must be hard Chrissy, i can not even think about how I would feel and do not want to think about it.....here is a big hug for you ((((Chrissy)))). You have a great way of rebounding from the kicks that life gives you and I hope and pray that your heart will heal as the days go by. The pain of losing a loved one never leaves but does soften with time. That is my prayer for you, that the pain softens and the happy memories take over. One more hug (((((((CHRISSY))))). I love you to the moon and back girl and wish I could hug you in person. Please close your eyes and feel my loving arms around you and YOU telling me it will be alright. Yep, goils, that is how Chrissy rolls. She is a ROCK and one hell of a goil.

I raise my glass in the memory of Dolcie aka Chrissy's mum!

Here here, here is to Chrissy's Mum, the woman that gave the girls of the HTL our own and only Chrissy B. We are all blessed on this sad day, 1-2-13 (aussie date) ...Heaven has a new angel.

CheerS!

Hello again goils!

I have so much to say but I tink I need a drink. I was not going to drink tonight since I have work tomorrow (bahahahahahahahaa, dat is a funny one)!

I hope to be back but need to say one ting and only one ting (can she do it ye all ask?).

Happy New Year to all of my goils. I wish you all a year of peace, laughter, happiness and good health and more tenders! wooo hooo!

CheeRs!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stfBPzmHm70

short video for all of you. sorry if this offends anyone but the sicky side of mese brain laughs so hard at this. THIS is classic!!

okay, I am back. I can't stay long because mese gotta git outta bed berry early and git back to de salt mines, ick. i don't want to go!

Camille, you in trouble for saying you will neber post a pic. You know you are beautiful to us and dat is what matters. And I would hope your Mom taught you that beautiful is skin deep. Reminds me of a story....so I work with this goil, she work in our IT department and is brilliant with bixing techinal issues. But she is jest the nastiest negative person I have ever met. I remember seeing her around the building and thinking to myself 'my God, she is the most beatiful girl that I have ever seen. I mean this girl has the most beautiful hair, perfect facial features, a really nice figure and is well dressed. Well when someone told me her name, I'd like to die ---yup, it was dis nasty IT girl. And now when I see her, I no longer see that beauty in her, I see a nasty condescening girl who appears to hate her job and hate people. My guess is that she is with the company because she is so good at what she does. But now I see her, I see pure ugliness. My point in dis story, I do not judge people on their looks because there is so much more to judge when viewing people. And I think I am not alone in feeling this way. Camille, I do not need to see you to know you are beautiful cuz mese already nose it! I just want to see your beautiful face so that when mese talking to you, I see who I am talking to. Make sense? Prolly not but den agen mese dwunk. Nothing new there hehe!

To all of you with this nasty cold/cough/virus, I feel for you all. This is what I had, the cough was so bad. And it took forever to go away.

NM, your post had me laughing, ooops, did not mean to laugh at what you are going through. But I can relate. I was at the casinos in Atlantic City when the bug hit me like a ton of bricks. I was walking through the casino coughing my head off, scaring those around me while trying to hold myself with my other hand to keep from pissing mese pants. I bought maxi pads at a very high price, at the casino store and they were not even enough to keep pee pee from running down mese legs. It was horrible. And I was so sore in the rib area. I also wonder if that virus and all of the shaking I did to my body while coughing could have attributed to my foob infucktion. I doubt it but can't help but tink about it. Anyway, how horrible that you and many others are dealing with this nasty bug. I hope you feel better soonliest. And OMG on the coffee spill. How terrible that the handle broke off and caused so much chaous and pain. I hope the ice helps and that you do not blister up. You better get checked out if you think they could be 1st degree burns. I should not have to tail you this but I am. I will pray that you feel better. and I am glad you were using a computer with a separate keyboard, I have killed two laptops with spills (yep, likker). You poor thing, I hope you have a much better week too. oops, it not a new week, mese keep tinking it sundey fundey.

Kathy, I have a feeling that the virus/illness that you and your DH have is the same thing that i already had. You were around your family and her kids at Christmas and probably picked it up from them. It is a nasty one, I praying that you both feel better too. Thank you again for a beautiful time, I really enjoyed both you and your DH. He is very funny and so laid back. He handled the ice cold room pretty well too. Girls, we froze the man out of the room. We were both hot flashing all night long! Anyway, I felt like a pampered princess with you guys. It was so generous for you and DH to buy me a big ass bottle of Gentleman Jack, de creme de la creme of de Jack family. And then to buy me dinner and more dwinks at de restaurant was just ubber fab. And we loved all of your little goodies too. The painted portrait of my dearly departed Mocha dog, even my DD very touched. She said that it gave her tears in her eyes when she saw it, we both LOVE it. You are a great artist and for having never painted an animal, it turned out beautiful. The details are amazing. I love how you captured his cute ears, I just love it. And the little dress thing you got for us. I gave it to Jessica for Lana, I thought it suited Lana better than my old dogs (the print on the outfit says Material Girl lol).  I loved the personalized "Cheers" plaque too, you are too much Katwinka, too much. I do hope you come back to NJ and you will have to fly into Philly. Newark is an awful city. Northern NJ is like another state, very industrial and just ugly. When I was driving the turnpike home, I notifed for the first time how the scenery changes so much for the better as you go South.

A bit of NJ triva - I bet you people did not know that there is sort of a war between people from Norther NJ and people from Souther NJ. Us southerners know that people up there are buttheads. Period.

Sue, enjoy your last night with little AM, oh I know you will. I love how you describe your visits with him, he sounds so fun and so cute. I know you and papa love him berry much.

Camille, I hope you get well soon, I know you miss having your butler around so you need to get better quickliest.

Lori, you worked on New Years Eve and New Years Day? ick. I guess I would be doing the same thing if I were in your shoes with my own business. I am looking forward to seeing Katwinka in a slinky dress like you did for me and for yourself. And I think you NEED to talk Cammie into sending you a photo of her and giving her a body like the wenches have. Funny that Cam thought those were are real bodies. I guess she thought my foobs were that pretty, never in a million years could mine look like that. Speaking of, Katwinka's foobs are BEAUTIFUL. The look so natural and the tats were so real looking, I had to touch her faux nipple to believe that it did not protrude, no chit!

Thanks to Katwinka for letting me feel her up hehehehe! I crack meseself up.

Cyn, hope you are having a good time and know it will be hard to say goodbye. Do what Kat and I did, say see you later!

Chrissy, I will continue to pray for your family at this difficult time. Here is another big fat DorkY hug (((CHRISSY))).

To the rest of you, hello and please be well. I sorry I did not talk to you all personally but I only have so much time right now cuz I ken hear mese Mommy saying "Dorothy, go to bed, you've got a big dey back at de torture chamber".

Be well goils and keep dwinking. I must go, mese tired and been up waaaay too late eberynight dis week. So mese taked a valium to settle my mind and I am feeling it~~ ahhhh!

I gonna grab a tender and go to bed. Wishing you all sweet dreams and remember, 2013 is the Year of de Tittie! Woo hooo!

CheerS!

to dulcie,heavens newest angel

Awww Chrissy, blessings to you and your family. I’m so sorry for your loss, but glad to hear she was able to go peacefully. What a blessing to be able to live 87 years and I hope you are blessed with the longevity of life that your mom had. I found this online, and thought it appropriate “Love yourself right now and don’t forget to be kind to your heart. God will take care of the rest.” Dulcie, what a beautiful name, for a beautiful soul.

A little hard to read...........

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.

Hugs for Chrissy (((((CHRISSY))))), may your rest in peace Dulcie.

NM, so sorry that you got that bug too, but really glad there was no big asthma attack. Seems so many of our east coast girls are getting sick. Oh dear on the  contact cleaner in the eye, glad to see the saline helped. And I admit, I did have a little chuckle at you not remembering writing a post. And Stella did turn DH  $20 into $100, plus getting into his “running coke”. I like that one! We have cameras, so we can check the house when we are gone. It does not record though. We have one in the house, so we can keep an eye on the pellet stove, and we can turn that one, then one outside pointing at the front of the house so we can watch the weather. Sure hope you escaped the blisters from the hot coffee, and that you are feeling better today.

Sue, love your NYE story with AM and his dance moves, and how sweet of your DH to wake you for the traditional kiss. A very sweet prayer for our Chrssy……Amen/Barmen. Yes, we worked both days, gots to get this website done. But also, not having any family or friends here to celebrate, might as well work. Hoping to have our get together with our friends this weekend, if they are feeling better. And ONLY if they are feeling better!

Kathy, dang! Hoping you and your DH are on the mend, like I said, so many of you gals are sick. I just hate it, and pray that your folks don’t sick. They too are so very fortunate to live such long lives and to have their wits about them too, even though your mom has her moments. What about your dad and the shingles. And your DD’s and their families? My mom, only being 73, I know she will only be here for another couple of years, if that. But I will cherish every year that she does make it. Such nice comforting words from you too, for Chrissy.

LOL Cami, YES, the pictures are fixed! Although I did have a body somewhat like that in my 40’s. I’ll share a pic one day. Love your “degrees” of Ditze, and I love you and your humor. You must keep your family in stitches. And you are sick too??? Dayem.

Very nice sentiment that you found Julie, but so so true.

Dork, very nice and comforting words from you as well. And you are right, Dulcie means sweet. How are you feeling and how is your mom and dad? So glad that you and Kathy had such a fun time. So funny to refer to her DH as you guys pimp. He is a doll, and real trooper to put up with all of us, that have been fortunate enough to meet Kathy. Too funny about you two showing off your foobs and you touching hers.  I am more than happy to give anyone a new bod, but would not do it without their permission, and would want to know which head shot they want used.

Awww Bernie, you too…….such sweet words.

Chrissy you are truly loved here girl. Today’s DOTD……….MOTHERLY LOVE

60ml Barefoot White Zinfandel (which is something of a misnomer, as it's pink!)
25ml gin
20ml lemon juice
3 strawberries
3 fine slices cucumber
20ml simple syrup
Lemonade
lots of ice.

1. Muddle the fruits together (muddle = mash lightly) and shake all the ingredients, apart from the lemonade.
2. Strain over cubed ice in a highball glass.
3. Top up with lemonade and garnish with a cucumber slice and strawberries

Swinging by to say hello to all HTL beauties! I see Juliet, MemaSue, Bernie, Karen, Cami, DorKy lookin hot-cha-cha, Katwinka wishing us all Happy New Year and I hope you are not sickie-poo, Undie serving up luscious champers and a lovely NY spread – yummy thanks!, and de special and beautiful ChrissyB – I  read of your mom’s passing and  I’m so sorry you are going through this, I send you love and hugs ((((Chrissy)))), Orange I love de boots with wheels! And Goldie I’m still thrilled over your NY dress, I hope you get some rest now…oooooo, thank you for the wonderful DOTD Motherly Love, so appropriate, NM dang you sick? I hope you get over it quick, K? I am missing Mrs V and not sure who else...Lub and hubs to you all!

 I am sorry to be so choppy…I have not been here as much as I’d like. I will say that I am still as grateful as ever to you ladies, you are in my thoughts and fart every day. I cannot imagine what Chrissy is going through. My mom passed in ’96 and even though I knew it was coming it was still suck a shock. I have never gotten over….much love to you Chrissy. Looks like Juliet and the goilies have posted some beautiful words. I am praying for you and your mom and your family.

 As for me, I gotta run to get to the post office before it closes. I did switch from tamoxifen to femara so I close the door on 2 years of tammyhell and I really think the femara is treatin me better. Hot flashes are not quite as intense or as often and I think I feel less biotchy if you can imagine. Tee Hee.

Anyway, I love you goilies and thank you so much for being here. I hope you are all doing okay and that we can have a great 2013 together.

Cheers MaDears!!!
