    Hope everyone else enjoys the day....haven't heard from sas in so long now. Missing sas and Cami, and not much from 2nd either. Thinking of you gals and miss hearing from you. Good morning Chevy, hope you weren't working late Pole dancing ;)

    Ah geez, I'm so worried about Cammi!  She last posted here on the 6th!  Something about seeing the Doctor tomorrow?  I'll send her an email, or I could even call her....  I'll let you guys know..........

    Sass must still be taking a "break?"  I sent her a couple emails but she didn't answer...  I have to pester SOMEone, right?

    Nettie.... hope you find some answers!

    Littlegoats!  Cute video!  They act just like dogs, it looks like! 

    SweetSusan...  LOVE you little sanctuary, as "someone" called it!  Looks like you have a crop circle of some sort....  Have you checked for Alien's? 

    I LOVE moss-rose, aka Portulaca, aka ice-plant!   That is the most beautiful plant, and they don't take much care!  We had one come up in the black-top out back, and it never got watered, so evidently they love HEAT and DRY! 

    And Tungsten...(you didn't even capitalize his NAME!) has a new home?  Well, okay.... as long as she takes care of him...   So how is it you know he is a he?  Probably a stupid question, but REALLY!

    I'll miss MR. T.!

    Good luck Tang!  We are all with you!   Don't you just hate to wait all day for a stupid surgery?  They did that with my hip, and I was not a happy person!  I mean I broke it the day beFORE, so it was like 2 damn days with that thing, and no food!   I almost wilted away!

    Gardens!  Yes, your yard will look most beautacious! 

    Nettie!!!!!!!!  WTH????  You were "bush-hogged??"  Now, me being as intelligent as I AM, I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING!!! 

    Morning Spookie!   Glad you had your portia yanked!  That reminds me of when they yanked my MammoSite Device out!  She said it would "sting"....   Now a little "sting" is NOTHING compared to what actually happened!  It was like removing your SHOES up through your sore breast with a chain, and yanking it through that little hole!  

    I couldn't even YELL it hurt so bad!  I saw stars!  Well, more than usual anyway.....

    Okay, SURE, it was only a second or 45, but child-birth is a good comparison! 

    GGHole!  You also might need foot surgery?  What kind?  Is it something we can fix here? 

    Littlegoats!  A 5# Scorpion?  WTF!!!!!  I would move.  I would move to Alaska.... that's it!  I don't think they are condusive  to a happy house-hold.   I was going to post a picture, but it made the hair on my arms stand straight up! 

    Yes, keep a supply of Benadryl on hand for EVERYthing! 

    Morning Lee!  So you know the mating and living habits of resident Scorpions?  Ah man, I would be mortified!     "They take up residence?"  All you have to do is find them a more desirable home.... Ha!

    I mean a SPIDER  is enough for me!....And I usually try and coax them into a cup, and throw them outdoors, or pick them up with a kleenex!

    Good video Lee!    You know, I read somewhere to put a bar of soap in between the sheets, at the bottom... and it was supposed to stop leg-cramps, from Tamoxifen...  Well it didn't work for me....  I even tried putting 3 bars in a mesh bag down there...  Didn't do a thing!

    Maybe it works for other things...  but not my leg cramps!  The only thing that worked are standing up and screaming bloody murder!

    Blessings....  The front of your home is gorgeous...!  Now I'm jealous. We didn't even notice the flag!  But you can bet we did NOW, Ha!   

    SOME people can't even appropriately display the American Flag.... tis a shame.....

    PP.... PeppermintP!  You found us again!  Yes...  hip healed nicely... 

    (I gotta tell you.... that is really not me on the pole.  See, I feel I should explain this to you newer gals, cause the REST of these ruffians know it could not POSSIBLY be me).... Ha, ha! 

    THIS is me....

    image

    And I had to put those stilettos up for the Summer... I now wear Croc's.

    Hi Littlepaws...  Yes, we gotta find Cammi....  and Sass....  xoxoxoxo

    Tang...of course I will be thinking and praying for you...I keep saying...got u in my pocket...had it wrong...I will be in you pocket tang :)

    Lee, did he look like this? 

    image

    Did you move out that night? Stay at a hotel ? I would of freaked out. 

    PattyP. I am on a IPad. I finally figured out how to save images from the Internet, post them. You have to start playing with it. I now change my avatar constantly, cause I am so happy I can.

    Morning all.... Chevester, my feet are fine, but I have severe bunions. Big feet, bad shoes over a lifetime. If I need to have it done, I have the out of pocket paid for this year. Not making a appt. anytime soon. Gotta get on with summer. I had Portia popped, Spookie wants to keep hers. 

    Blessings, beautiful front yard. That's my next project, get a few things switched up in the front of the house. 

    Tang, hang on for a bumpy pocket party. Chevster will want to show off on her pole, we all are counting on this to get rid of your "aliens". 

    Happy Monday to all.

    CAMI, hope the Drs. get you fixed up soon. We all miss you !

    Philly, keep us updated....

    To all having issues, I'm in your pocket with everyone else!! 

    Came across this, although, most of you have probably already seen it, I thought I'd post!

    Oh and Chevy, bush-hogg is when you use a tractor pulling the actual "brush-hog" to mow in places where the grass is very tall!!!  I'll post a pic later today!  I'm sure there is another name for it, "bush-hogging" is just what it's called around here!

    Nettie, totally creepy....

    How much yard work do you think she is capable of getting done ? Housework ? Cooking, bathing, folding laundry, meeting new people & shaking there hand ?  Yikes.....

    EWWWWWWWWW get some pruning shears.  

  • luvmygoats
    luvmygoats Posts: 2,484

    Lee - my DH says the same thing about scorp. Why the heck then do they live in the desert?

    Spookie - let me get the pruning shears for her. Hope she never ends up in hospital with those things. Imagine changing a bandage or stripping a drain? Guess she never takes those rings off.

    Nettie - we bush hog here in Texas too. Think maybe someone thought it was cuter than "brush" hog.

    That goat is just a potty accident waiting to happen. Cleanup in Aisle 3. And a goat that size will make a nice puddle.

    Love all the garden pictures. We had a lovely rain about 6 am and its only 72 here at 11 am, at least my patio therm.

    To add to the morning coffee

    how did I miss moving to this thread this year? I wondered where everybody was! I tracked you down by Miss Phyllis ankle bracelet. Phylo, had you in my heart since our pm last week.  

    I do need to go to Wal Mart today, but I guess I better fluff up in case any of you guys are in Okla. With your cameras ready. I hate it as much as getting a tooth filled.

    OMG I just got done reading and thought NOW I should post at the end of each page cuz now it's all gone in my head.

    Chit someone's getting operated on today, I forgot now Tang? (((HUGS)))

    Chevy where did u get that ancient pic of my on the pole, wow you do research things don't you.

    Hi Patty, welcome back/

    And I love all the pics. funny and real--I wish I could put pics on here too, I don't have a clue.

    And Susan PM'd me and offered her help in any way--she's so sweet, I was touched with that offer really. Cuz too where she lives isn't that close to me.

    Joey had his BD party Sat. and I got all dressed up for him and was there for the whole thing. so I was flat on my back yesterday and today I'm still foggy but I go in a little while for a test and see my Doc tomorrow, who wants the test done. Next week is my new Dr. and that stupid peeectomy. But Chevy please don't worry about me, sometimes I jut get so tired and hurt that I'm not posting at all. It's just me. But my crazy DD wanted to take me to ER on Joey's day for his BD and I said no so I really had to stay for all of it like nothing was hurting or anything, so I got extra knocked out. She's an ER groupy tho.

    Hmmm I'm going to put a bar of soap under my cushion tonite, but not tell anybody cuz for sure I'll be on another floor in the hospital.But u never know if it works til u try it. and I don't doubt anything anymore.

    OK gots to get ready--yea right--3 mins cuz I'm wearing rags and I don't care.

    Someone (can't remember who) called SAS. She said she's fine, just taking a break.

    In your pocket Tang.

    Cami, Sorry you're hurting so much. Hope you feel better soon. I had a robo call today touting some new legal drug for pain. They will send it in the mail and your insurance will pay. Right! And I might buy a bridge right after.

    Lovely yards. Ours looks like a jungle. I would post a photo, but it won't let me. Think of perennials packed as tightly together as possible, with ordinarily short plants growing 2 feet tall looking for sun. Now think of them all in bloom. It's pretty but overwhelming at the same time. There's just enough grass to put 2 lawn chairs.

    Hah Beatmon I've been in the WalMart in Norman, the one on 35. Lol.

    I think Spookie called Sassy. But this sure is a long break. Just wish she'd check in then check out again.

    Our creekside is slowly attempting to overtake the yard. Thank goodness for the split rail. DH at least has to move up to it. The 1st year we moved out here I complained to DH about an airplane that made repeated passes over the yard. Man came by selling aerial photos of house - of course we had to buy it. Shows just how much jungle has grown up. The creek is rarely dry always has some stagnant water - yes I do have some bats and flycatchers to eat mosquitoes. Dallas (or maybe FW) PH dept. says West Nile is stronger in drought as mosq. are stronger if fewer in #. So maybe less chance of getting bit but worse case if you are. We've had a surprise shower and getting a few more.

    Lovely to see you Cami. In your pocket for all your appts as needed.

    goatgirl - WTH did you just say?  Something about skeeters.  I couldn't follow it all.

    I'm glad cammomile is back and posting irrelevant stuff!

    blessings, what a beautiful garden/gazebo!

    Now for the bad crap - The "hot spot" in the bone scan has turned out to be a 1" lesion and MO wants a PET scan and a CT guided needle biopsy.  That's what SHE wants.  What I want is a quart of rum and a couple of joints. After that I won't give a crap who wants to do what.

    My girlfriend said to drink the rum then sit on my front porch and drag cute guys into my house.  That sounds pretty good too!

    Since I don't have the rum yet, I had a therapeutic apple fritter.  YUM!

    Phyllo - health dept. says that even though fewer mosq. d/t drought that they are stronger, bigger, fly farther and bite more aggressively. They are attempting to develop a model for West Nile virus. 2012 was very bad for it here, not so bad last year.

    http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2014/06/04/research-may-pr...

    Oh Phyllo my thoughts are with you. You gonna do it there or Houston? Any chance it's always been there - like a normal part of you anatomy? DH has gotten into those buckets of margo's you keep in the freezer. Dig in. You got my permission. Or the rum - whatca gonna mix it with? Apple fritter with rum - Winking

    Oh my this thread runs fast! Took a break and now I feel like I may need to re-introduce myself! Welcome to the new owlettes and welcome back to the returning ones. 

    Got pages to catch up....

    i know... Dip the apple fritter in rum, then eat it. Sounds great - the bone mets not so much.  Keep your chin up phyllowithrumapplefritters

    phylo: come stay with me...I've got two extra bedrooms...and we can make road trips to Colorado cause it's legal there....and you would love my doc.  And I like rum any day. I'm so sorry you have to go through all of this testing again. My sister in law that had breast cancer 20 years ago ( and still fine) had spots show up on her skull. All the drs were convinced she had very bad juju and days were limited....until she told them she had climbed on the bed to clean the ceiling fan but forgot to turn it off! Yip, that's my family.(and yes, she goes to Wal Mart daily) 

    By the way, my sister in law on the other side now has bc...so instead of 1-8 we are 100%, and not blood related! Maybe we should buy lottery tickets together.

    Luv my goats, we have had so much rain, I know we are going to have terrible mosquito trouble too. Hate to complain with all the drought though.

    Phylo, love you.

    Ok, tang hope you are holding out and not to hungry. 

    Cami, good too hear from you.

    There are others here that I don't know...nice to meet you.

    Wishing the best to the rest.

    Saw new dr, still no answers. He concurs...no need for tests. So I guess that means I'll continue to worry and wonder. Don't know what else to do. I have no idea how to get answers. So I'm done with it. If it's the big c...it just is. I'm tired of begging for test. I'm dso discouraged.

    Did find out I have a little sinus Crap, but Just to take over the counter meds. UGH!!!!!!

    Will find out so knows when if thyroid is off, they are testing it but only the TSH, AGAIN UGH!!!And I specifically  asked for a complete work up, but no go.

    I'm so disgusted I'm sitting here crying. No one understands that I need answers.

    Ok..pics of my place showing what I mowed..Well they want post so I'll try out in a new post.
