INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

Sheesh, 4 pages behind...have I been gone that long??

#5 TAC was Thursday, my iron is low and will probably need an iron infusion. I have to do a poop card first so insurance will cover it. I had to have a new drain put in my seroma friday and I saw a new PS that says if I do recon he will likely do a DIEP flap. I as surprised since first PS said that wasn't even an option for me.

I'm exhausted. Love ya ladies!

Happy Mother's Day to you all!

Morning, and HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY GALS!  Even if you don't have kids, you probably have pets, and you are their Mom's!!!  

Dutchess, are you REALLY young?  Ha, ha!  Like no matter HOW old you are, it doesn't matter!  I love you even if you are...  NOT young...  !

That recipe sounds like the Weight Watchers recipe kind of...!  That was Key Lime Pie, recipe.. 

http://www.food.com/recipe/weight-watchers-key-lime-pie-158671

I just LOVED it also! 

Blondie.... I'm really sorry!   Does a Nebulizer help you?  Or Advair?  Can they do anything for you, if it is the chemo?  OR even the tumors?  When I have an asthma attack, it is the WORST!  I don't know how you do it.... the not knowing....  Can you get more help, like soon?  Oh, wait, I read your DX...   That just sucks!  We will just help you in other ways...  like be naughty!

I don't mean ME exactly, but you just have to watch out for Lilshit and Cammi!  THOSE 2 are TRUbble! 

Susan!  I LOVE flower shopping!  But you had a hitch-hiker tick?  Those little Ba$terds!   I couldn't have FELT it, with MY hair...  They couldn't have found my head part anyway!   I think by you taking chemo, they would NOT have been happy!

Oh God, she said a dead mouse!   We don't want them to be dead..  Nothing to be dead...  But being outdoors is better than stone cold dead in the kitchen!  You have to call the Police to remove it!

Cammi!  Just get our Joey to put the stuff together!  He will love that!

I'm sorry you have the blitzkrieg again!  At least you can sort of figure it out!

And Dutchess, I loved that picture!  You won't believe this.....BUT, my DD runs the Floral Dept at her grocery store.  So this Mother Goose builds her nest, on the raised planter box, outside the North side of the store, where the Floral dept has all her outside plants!   We've been watching her and the eggs... even have pictures!  Yesterday, one hatched, THEN the rest...  5 little baby geese!  But they were told, do NOT touch them, "they are protected!"  They will "move" them, or guide them OUT of there whenever they can!  Now Papa Goose DOES take his TURN at watching those eggs/hatchlings...  And they "built" some sort of shelter for OVER them, out of Pallets!  "SHE" had a FIT when they were putting it over them!  But settled in, and they were calmed down last night.  Damndest thing I ever heard of!  I am worried about HOW they will re-locate that family when it is time, and how will they EAT?  Or walk?  They are at the end of this shoppette, and cars everywhere, not to mention people!

Cammi, yes, I DID tell her, she is their Guard Goose... but they are ALL guarding her!  It's the SPCA or someone that will come out and move them!  

These are also Canadian Geese...  And really ARE protected!

Tame Geese are such little $hits!  My little Brother and I were always chased when we tried to make a run out to these folks "out-house!"  Damn Geese thought they OWNED it!   But those pet Geese were NOT worth their hay.... or what DO they eat? 

Also, other Daughter was driving by a Lake, and an injured goose was in the street!  She stopped, and put him/her in the car, and took it to the VET!  Kept him there overnight, for "observation" but by morning, it was up, and walking, so she picked him up, drove him back to the park, and let him go!  I was just thankful she didn't try and make him a PET! 

Can you imagine the story that Goose told his friends? 

Susan!  Ha, ha!  They DO have special little schools, with classes for timid Geeselets...  They have actual graduates take them by the paw... I mean wing, and show them how to attack anything that moves, but it's only after hours!  So after they have coffee, and stay awake, and have donuts, then they are "on call" so to speak... And they get paid big money for that!  I mean carrots..! 

No, Spookie, but it really looks like it...  It was on the Internet!  I sent that "picture" to my Daughter's! 

Good to see you Tang.... Sorry about what you are going through!  Just know that we are right beside you....  (((hugs)))

JWOW!  I LOVE Panda's!  And but what is your Avatar?  I can't figure it out!

And Teka.... you too!  I sent YOUR picture to my kids! 

222222222nd!  Sorry about your migraine!   Yes, "Wese all" are here, waiting to hear from you!  Hope today is better for you!

Happy  mother's day to all you sweet mama owlsies!

I'm so happy that so many of you like to buy plants, sometimes I think I have a flower obsession.I could go bankrupt buying plants.  I would love to get veggies too, but there's nowhere here to put them - have to settle for a few pots of herbs that I can protect from critters. Speaking of 'veggies', that peach stuff sounds great, but something with pie filling, cool whip, marshmallows, etc. can not rightly be called a 'salad'. If you can't grow it, it isn't a veggie! Just try growing marshmallows sometime.. it doesn't work, you get these little mushy things and that's it. Cami, I hope you're feeling better and have a wonderful day. Who is Joey, btw? Is that your grandson? 

Hiho,  get mostly perennials too, I love to see the things I put in last year coming up. I watch all the little shoots with fascination - especially at how fast some of them can grow. There are wild spots here, I like the mix of things. Susan, I love courtyards, they feel a little like forts for grownups. A little space that's not a house but's homey. (except if there's a snake there)  

Tang, yay for being done with round five! If they give you an iron infusion, it may really help.. they had to put me in the hospital after round five, but after being there for 4 days and having who knows what all put in me, I felt way better. Doc ended up cutting my final dose in half. I wanted the whole one, but they said it would just be to hard on my body. I'm glad you have a new PS.  

Chevy, thanks for posting the picture of me, I had forgotten about those pink pants, I loved those pink pants. I'm going to have to get a new pair like that. Want to go shopping? 

FBB - how are you doing? I'm thinking that you're not quite ready for our ledge dancing excursion yet, but by the end of summer?  

Sassypants where are you? Last I saw you it was something about amaretto having caused some difficulties.. Hope the world has straightened back out from the vertigo. 

Twotimer, YOU are sweet. Migraines suck, hope it is gone by now.  

Got to go play in my garden now. 

Woozer - did you henna your head!!??!?  It's gorgeous.

 P

Happy, Happy Moms Day to all...

Went back and reread the last few days, I did skim over before, cause I hate to be out of the loop, but I have more time now to really let all the crazy, supportive, healing chit chat sink in. 

So much to comment on, and I will miss a bunch. 

Jwoo, was that your beautiful head ? Henna ? Darling panda..

DutchChris, your daughter is a flexible one. Love to watch comtempory ballet...

Blondie, thinking of you with the breathing issues....Hoping it gets better soon.

Cami, the food at your family get togethers...YUM, all homemade Italian.. Sounds so good, and you obviously have some characters in your clan. No ethnic ties from my family, but my SIL is Japenese, & she is family, fantastic cook. 

Sasafras, No more spinning, or coaster riding,,,, makes me nausea just thinking about that. I had to deal with it during A/C....just sucky..

2nd Timer...headache gone?

Chevy, you are the "Mom" of our group. Special, most glorious day to you. You have not updated DH foot issues. He back to normal ?

Smaarty, Congrats....

Blessings, you are so generous and my role model. 

Lilshit, I buy allot of stuff, flowers on the clearance table, they need TLC, bring it home and bring it back. 

Ok, forgetting a bunch...thanks & love to all.

Golf tourney, fashion show, flower arrangements were fantastic....nice to be able to participate.

Oh, was it Phillythemystery night frisbee golfing? how did that go? 

Yes!  HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL AGAIN...  ! 

You GO FBB!  Would love to see you on that high-wire! 

GGH!  I just had to put my tomato plants in the garage, all covered, and cover up all my pots of seedlings!  It is snowing like hell here...!  And only 35 degrees out!  Such a bummer!   Brought in my Orchids, Christmas Cactus...etc!    I just hope the annual flowers make it!   Yes!  I AM the Mother of the group...Ha, ha!  And if I am any example of how you gals are supposed to act, forget it!    Sorry Wren about your Daughter's cat...  I know it hurt.... Our Cat used to go for walks with us also...  sometimes I would have to carry him back, if we were going to go to far!  

We had a cat when the girls were litle, and we had him for over 14 years~!

Been cleaning drawers.... etc!  Have a fun day gals!

Chiming in just to say..............

Been reading and working so I will ketchup later!  8 School days and a couple hundred more people to feed, then I'm taking a break!!  Ha, by having more surgery on the 21st!!

Hope everyone is having a great Mommy's Day whether you are celebrating with 2 legged or 4 legged kids.  Or in Susan's case a clean no legged flying snake!

HaHa, I saw this and immediately thought of Chevy!!

**translation--DiSarno= Amaretto!! (aka Booze)

DISARONNO AMARETTO!  So Ah-HAH!  I KNOW what that is, but not the way YOU guys spelled it!    I like it with orange juice, Amaretto, and Vodka!  Then it is called a Bocce-Ball!    See?  I was right!  You go around talking in code, and we are supposed to understand!

Okay, your Mother.... Don't sweat the small-stuff kiddo.... You know how she is....  She has this need to punish you for what-ever she feels like....  Don't let it bother you.  I'll come smack her around if you want me to.... 

And you FELL?  Good Lord, I'm not the ONLY one!  So you say you twisted your ankle?  You CAN'T say that....  because that's what happened to ME!   I twisted it on that pole...I mean rock!   Did you break anything of any importance?  But I'm sorry anyway.... chester.....

That KFC chicken bucket is for folk who don't collect eggs from those CHICKENS!   Actually, I DO like chicken sometimes.... but I get the chicken from the store, and I don't have to think about how they got there.

4444, thanks for my first and only hug this Mother's Day! Don't want to be a downer, but Mr Wonderful (the d**khead) is up to his usual sweet self. Don't want to go into details, but hugs are appreciated. So sorry you fell and hurt your ankle.

Thanks for translating the Di Sarno issue, wouldn't have figured it out. 

Will get caught up later....
