    GOOD afternoon loungettes. Life has a way of rushing ahead of me!

    I'm surprised to hear AZ has been put on the high flu risk list I just haven 't heard much about it. Just watched the local evening news and the flu was never brought up. Some of the #'s of those hospitaized surely blew me away, though. My 14 y.o. neighbor told me that hardly any kids are home sick. I'm sure AZ will be getting it's dose soon. :(



    what'd you think of a glass of wine at 4:30? Too early ya think? It's calling to me, I keep hearing this little muffled cry, "let me outta here and fill up that silly little glass, HELP" Maybe I'll just go the kitchen and help him out.



    Talk to guys soonliest

I was so fercited to see her as she has been MIA for awhile.but she berry sad cuz she lost one of her wings on her way home from Illinois. so tailed mese that she hitch hiked home and met a really hot guy. hmm, I have to wonder what he looks like, her taste in men is quite odd. i snapped a photo of her. And don't be judging, I tailed her to close her dern legs but she a ho.Like Elibabeth. If you want to know what she is doing on the computer, I ken tail ye, jest ask.

    NM I hope u'r feelin better today--I do, my D stopped this afternoon so no more pain. Oh and they called from the hospital to go over all the instructions and go over all my meds and all that stuff--it's all right in the computer--can't they just say has anything changed? I was just there Friday. OH well no biggie just talk.

    Dork how was work for u today. And Stella lost weight, probably cuz she was so sad she broke her wing, poor thing--but how did she really break it, really? Well I still feel bad for her, her wings are as important to her as our wahoos are to us., well me not so much. I mean I love apricots but hate dried apricots. Does that make sense?

    Oh and people wonder why I'm crazier than before? Oh the nurse asked me exactly what I am having done and I said down the throat and up the ass--she started laughing and said she never heard that before--now how could she not hear that--the real words are so long and I don't remeber them--she said she wished she could put it in the computer like that.  She was probably super young.

    Dork is u'r hole better? I hope so. R U still havining tittie farts? BTW did u record them? It is funny u know.

    Oh my GF who went to NY for her grandbaby--is ready to come home--she exhausted and doesn't have this much patience. Cuz everything has to e done her DIL's way and she's cleaning and cooking--she was making me laugh cuz she's saying I'm to old for this, I'm trying to tell her she's bonding and she says yea I'll leave and the other GM will give all the attention and the kid won't know me at Christmas. so she's not a hppy camper.-but she's living there. When I had Joey for 6 months he lived with me and I still saw him when my dgtr felt better of course--but I had no one telling me what to do I just did any old thing. Not like her. She's a nerveous wreck really and all I can do is talk to her--I feel bad. She's on my mind so I'm unloading on u guys. hahaha Oh here's the worse part she can't drink and she enjoys her wine. So now everyone understands.

    I'm aramblin' agin.  I guess I need a little drink hahaha a little I stil have Kaluah (sp) I can't spell it, but I can drink it---Tomorrow's Friday so all u workers can start the celebration. I hope everyone is getting better--there is so much going on and next week is another surery--the 17th or 15th My memory is awfulliest bad. Not me--well u know.

    Me thinkin is off tonite--u should all be used to this by now, whenever I have D too long so u know that I hope. cuz I know it is and eben my Drs. tole me dat. I'm all jumpy and weak--No don't feel bad for me I feel bad for u to have to read all this stuff cuz I could just delete it but I never do cuz I am what I am expecially with u guys and I feel like talkin and I lub u all and it makes me feel better talkin' to uze--ah rhe drink is kicken in now good. LOL OK I'll check back later to see how Kat is doing.

Then I had to send him back after an hr or so and the cat stayed in the bthroom with me taking her bath in the sink-so I took a bunch of pills so I should settle down soon.

    Oh Julie that was cute about washing everything, even the Tenders n Wenches….LOL, at your dad too and the 5000 psi enema, wowsa! Just now on the news for AZ, the worst is yet to come for us on the flu. Is airborn, or can you only get it from touching? Seriously thinking about wearing a mask or scarf for sure!!! WOWSA WOWSA, I can SEE why dat dude can’t do up his pants, no imagination needed on that one!!!! Surprised

    LMAO, titty call. I too can see her looking all around the parking lot………OMG too funny. I kinda thought you might like dat choco strawberry teq dwink. And no I don’t watch Looney Tunes, I jes LOONEY!

    Great exit sign Lara!!! Especially after that hunk that Julie posted!

    Cami, I like the way your dad thinks, I have often wondered that mese self! Down the throat and up the ass………..yep that sums it up foy shure. And why do they make those names of procedures so darn long……colonoscopy and endoscopy (I think). Scoping the colon and throat. You poor GF, having such a hard time already and she just got there. If I were her I’d find a way to sneak in some wine. Ramble away girl, we luv to hear it and we luv you.

    I did not remember Snagglepuss Kathy, but it just didn’t seem to me that it was the roadrunner, so I just googled “exit stage left”. Mese cheated! Sending out prayers for that family and the loss of their children, so very very sad. Praying too for anyone that receives any of her organs, I hope that will help the family, knowing that their little girl helped to give life to someone else. Happy Birthday to your GS.

    I hope you had that glass of wine Lymda….LOL. And like I said above, we ARE on the news now with the flu.

    Dort, did you get Stella to do some woyk foy you? TOOT TOOT, jes foy you. Dat me tootin my own horn. But really, I don’t hab nuttin to toot aboot!

    Hi Chrissy! …..and hugs. We know you have to still be hurting and missing your mum.

    Goot morning Drinkerbell, what are we drinking this morning? Gonna refresh and see if NM is here.

    NOPE……….ok, guess I’ll go in search of a DOTD

    Good Morning ladies, wow its been about 6 weeks since I have posted I cant believe it. christmas and new years was quiet for me but nice, no drama with the X so that was good. Since I chatted with you last I have started my volunteer work at the cancer centre, doing the tour was harder than I imagined I had so many flash backs even though it wasnt the centre I recieved my treatment at it was pretty emotional bringing back all those old feelings and just reflecting on how little help I had recieved from my X during that time. I wish I had been able to speak out to my friends and family so as to get their support but I made it through and I guess it has created the stronger woman I am today. Also I signed up for school :)....yeah....I am going back to be a certified life coach, I am so excited its such a wonderful feeling to be excited about something again in my life. My kids are doing well and are adjusting well to our new city and their new schools. My 16 year old son has his first g/f.....oh boy here we go lol. I have an appt today with a plastic surgeon to see if I can get the girls matched up so I dont look so lop sided wish me luck.

    Hope you are are feeling strong and healthy and enjoying life.

    Hugs Kymn

    WOW, Kymn, sooooo nice to hear from you!!!! ANd so glad things are looking up for you as well as your kids. OMG, he has a girlfriend now....sure growing up fast! Soooo cool you are volunteering at the cancer center, and now you will go back to school. If we could only have known how well you are doing NOW, vs way back then, it sure would have helped you get through all the chit you went through. WE KNEW you would be ok and come out on top, but its always hard for us to realize that, for ourselves. YAY for KYMNIE!!!! Now stay awhile with us!!!

    Lori, Yummmmm....such a cute dwink too! And now you have snow and cold....and here it is rainy and 70. Its NEVER this warm in January, and I am not complaining, I love it.

    My DH is in a lot of pain now, and last night too. I asked him if tomorrow morn he could wait 30 min to get up AFTER I get up, as this ayem I made my coffee, and my back hurts like hail the first half hr or so after I get up, so I like to sit down at the puter. WELL, he got right up, needed me to make his coffee, help him get up, get his computer unplugged and put in the bed, etc. It would have been ok BUT involved a lot of bending for me and now my back is really killing me. It was ok that my coffee was cold, that doesn't bother me, but my back is hollering right now! Hope his PT goes well today, will be so hard getting in/out of the house (steps) as well as in/out of the car.

    Cyn, yuppers jest TWOs-Dey for you.....that means 2 dwinks while you work, right? LOL.

    Cami, darn it, the D came back, already??? You could prolly get in Guinness World Records with that, but that might not be what you want to be remembered for, a hundred yrs from now! Your  Joey is just SOOOOOOO precious!!!!

    I think our flu symptoms were not as bad as it could have been, since we did get the flu shot back in the fall. Its awful how it is spreading to everyone. Yes, Lori, you can get it from touch. So many germs stay on our hands, so if someone has coughed or sneezed into their hands, or something, then it is on their hands, and doorknobs, etc will have it, and it lives for hours on surfaces. SO when you touch the same thing, then touch your mouth, nose, or eyes, it can spread to you. Things you don't think about, like money, etc. OUr groceries have the sanitizing wipes for the carts, and I am glad the clinics, etc have the sanitizing lotion....but not enough!!!

    Dorkie,Yes, I saw what Lori posted, and then I mentioned how ALL the students were given either a laptop or tablet (depending on age) at the start of this school year. Not sure if other cities have done that, but a lot of officials from other states came to see how we were doing it. We are such a high tech area, it didn't surprise me. BUT what I hate is the bad and backwards connotation Alabama usually has....yet Huntsville (Rocket City) is waaaay ahead of the rest of the state, and in some cases, the rest of the country. Yeah, I'm bragging...but I have to.....so many times when we travel and say we're from AL, people we are talking to just sorta stop talking to us...its actually funny. WIsh I had the money others have here, but the level of higher education is very high, plus so many here make the big bucks (not us!). So restaurants, shoppes, and new companies, like to come here, as they are well received. OK, off my soapbox...DH is back up anyway, so duty calls.....

    Hugssssssssssssssssssss,

    Kat

    Hiya Babes

    5pm here. Wine o'clock

    I was in the restaurant yesterday when I suddenly realized I desperately 
    needed to pass gas. The music was really, really loud, so I timed my 
    gas with the beat of the music. 

    After a couple of songs, I started to feel better. I finished my coffee, 
    and noticed that everybody was staring at me.... 

    Then I suddenly remembered that I was listening to my iPod.

    Good Morning irls.

    Wow Goldie u'r on a roll today and a good looking drink I think--I always wish I had every liquor in the house when I read a good drink--cuz it sounds so good. And add whipped cream OH how could it get better.

    Kat u have some days cut out for u. I was concerned how u'r DH went up and own the stairs and in /out of the car--u must have to help alot. Oh I can't imagine with u'r back and stuff how u do it. I could never be able to, that's hard work and u'r DH has to have a lot of pain. Now is when u need a threesome--FOR HELP for both of u. OK I know this is kinda stupid, but is there anyway u can call the cancer Society for some volunteer help for u, that this is to hard for u the next couple of weeks? I don't know if this qualifies or not I'm just thinking of what can help u.

    And Kymm u've come a long way and u should be so proud of u'rsef for all u've been thru and all u'r accomplishing. It's wonderful--I'm sure everyone is so happy for u and I know they had somthing to do with it--they are all so encouraging and caring--u were lucky to get this group like I'm lucky--but they know there is no amount of dynamite they could have me sit on to change my lazy habits. I'm glad u have that get up and go. I just have the go.

    It's Fried day everyone, but Cyn is on another timeline so I know u have to work, I'm sorry

    Dork should be finishing up her week today so she'll be partying, I'm shoah.

    Chrssy I thin of u so often, cuz I know the feeling, I was so close to both my parents and I still miss them like I said zi wish u peace of mind, I have found mine. Which sounds crazy, but u do.

    OK I should find something to do but I'm wiped out--hopefully we'll catch up with money and I can do some online shopping--My therapy I loe to shop not in malls tho-just on-line. Oh well it'll be soon. I'm such a dreamer LOL

    Poopin in for a quikkee……..NO, not dat kinda quikkee!

    Kymnie……….so good to see you and hear some good news from that pretty face of yours. But mostly to know you are “movin on”, and stronger in doing so. I have been thinking of you lately, and I hope now that the holidays are over, we will git to see more of you.

    Speaking of MIA……………..SHA NAY NAY!!!!!!! Where you be girl???

    Oh Katwinka, I nose about de touching and de germs, I’m wondering if I should be wearing a mask when we go out. I try to be very aware and not touch my face, wipe down my buggy, wash hands (lots), etc. Mostly cuz we don’t get the flu shot. I know it’s not too late, but I guess it’s just me. I know they are suppose to keep us from getting the flu, but sometimes I think it’s setting us up for it. Ya know, like the pharmaceutical companies. I know, I’m cwazy! And if I do get it, I will most likely get it worse than anyone else cuz I DIDN’T get the vaccine. Glad you are feeling better, except for your back, so as to take care of DH!

    Das a funny one B, I think I have heard that one before.

    Cami, you so sweet to offer Kathy a 3some. And I think Katwinka too proud to ax foy help. That gal is Super Woman, foah shoah! Girl, you need to apply form some kind of “stand up comic”. Or at least sell your material.

    Cyn, anymore strange goings ons at your house?

    Lara, you too will find someone, when the time is right. I know you are getting VERY anxious and most likely skeered too. You have family and a support system close by, right? I know this isn’t your first rodeo, so you pretty much know what to expect, right? That lil mean puppy face is poyfect for what you have in your future and the RB. I think itching can just be a side effect of coming out of surgery and what ever meds they use to knock you out. But make sure they know you are allergic, if you really are. Maybe they will give you Demerol?

    Ya, those things Julie! What you said….. fentanyl or dilaudid.

    Ok, see all of you lovelies in de COLD morning. S’pose to go down to the negatives tonight.

    LOL Lori, Sounds (pun intended!) like a lot of us are *pooping* in here. He,he,he. I'm not sure about the masks. THey did a thing on tv and the regular white masks don't do much to keep germs out. It was a very elaborate mask they showed, to do the trick. Glad you keep wiping everything down!

    Well, I am not having to lift DH...it was all the stuff I had to do which involved bending over, or being on the floor, to get things situated (laptop, etc). I swear though, I had all of 30 minutes to myself till 5 pm today! Sheesh! PT was awful, very nice girl, but it was very painful for him. But I know he will get better quicker, this way. I am enjoying my reprieve right now (he's napping)...lol. Things will get better! Plus, when he  can drive that will help cuz with his 3xwk PT and his dr appts, and my parents drs appts, there is something EVERY day.

    Glad you have family closeby Lara. I don't know how the single gals do it, when there is no help! I get the hebegebe itches too after surgeries, but there is something they can give you to help with that. Maybe the other gals mentioned that. You'll do great, then will have new foobies!!!!

    Ennyone around for Pau Hana?????? Mese iz lonely....
