INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

Okay Spookie!  I don't blame you....  I have thought of that... when we...... oh wait.... You said your whole dog?  Not just her ashes?

REALLY???  Those bastards....  I'm sorry...  

I don't think there is anything you can do.... Is there?  I mean could you go over, and maybe see the property, or where she is buried, and just talk to her awhile?  

No, damnit, you are not silly....  It just makes me think of Lacee, and how would I feel...... But  you can't think of it like that.... 

My folks are in Ca...  In a beautiful cemetery...  but I just think they are "together.... and gone."  So if I ever go back, I'll go visit that site...  But I just have to know they are "gone"....  their ashes are there, but not them.... that's how I think anyway.... 

2222222nd!  You smart-a$$ you!  Everything is in THAT?   It must be newer?  It's a Mac?  and how old IS it?  Pretty new I'll bet!   I need my modem to play CD's, or burn them, and set things on....

Cammi, don't pay any attention.... this is computer talk....  I barely understand it myself.  I don't think I could transfer data and info to a Mac, could I? 

And don't go tellin' PITA we are walking up to Starbucks!  I just took 2 Aleve, got my cane, and we are ready to rumble...

I'm just going to talk to her, and ask WHAT she would do, if something like that happened to HER!  Where would she go?  Live with her bitch DIL and Son?  They would drive her nuts!  She won't go live with DH in that assisted living...  Maybe somewhere else...

But the point is, it's all something we have to think about...  I said if you get hurt.... (meaning like me) you would have to go to Hospital, and since you are alone, they would send you to some home, or something!  And she said, probably a nursing home, and I said, "Probably to an insane asylum"....  !  And we laughed... but it just got me to thinking.... "What if?"  Now I have to "ponder."

Thanks Alive$Five, or whatever....  That is right!  Sorry about your Dad..

Little memories like that just mean so much to us...   When my Brother and I sold our Folks house, they had to tear out all of Mom & Dad's Rose gardens, fish-pond, Lanai, and just ALL of the plants they loved!  They had to build up their back yard...   I just wanted the new owners to leave everything alone...  damn people!

Hi Nettie...   Get that Doc's name.... we'll check her out.... and let you know what we think of her!   Maybe she is some sort of internist?  Or some sort of Quack?   WE will find out!

OMG Sas...that auto correct is cracking me up, I'm laughing my 'ads' off )

Enjoy your Starbucks walk Chevy. Won't that PITA see you out there walking? Maybe you're wearing your chicken disguise

Happy Indepedence Day everyone

Chevy, no chit, no modem! There's a slot (not slut) on the side of the screen for DVD/CD's, flash drive is inserted into slot on keyboard. Mac set-up is only the screen, keyboard and mouse, way cool! DH works in an industry that only uses Mac's. We got that one 6-8 years ago, not sure if DD was going into jr hi or HS (she's now a junior in college). The company he worked for almost 15 years let him purchase the set-up at their corporate rate, otherwise we could never afford it (but we paid for it), I think it's a professional model. It is very cool! Took me a while to learn as it is very different than PC/laptop. 

Can you walk around the street on your way to Starbucks to avoid the PITA?

Wondering where in CA you're referring to?

And all this talk about "inserting" - get your mind out of the gutter!

Sassy, your timing is funny! About the auto-correct "mistresses": I'm sitting here watching my shows on DVR, now watching Mistresses. Are you psychic? Thanks for for the heads up on Jeff Dunham, you're a couple of hours ahead of us. Now have it set to DVR later. 

Pawprint, hi neighbor! Hoping you enjoy your weekend and get some rest. 

As seen as FB: May the fourth be with you!

Need to get out of my pj's and do something today. 

500 pages? Aren't we the chatty bunch!! See what you started Sassy!

Chevy, I know you have a TV! Mistresses is summer decadent splurge on ABC, can't believe women act like that in real life. 

So, Starbucks, walk down the street, up the street to return? Be careful, sweetie!

Yes, those "celebrities" like the Kardashians are all just in it for the money!  I don't have any idea how women can ACT like that in front of the camera!  I know it is all staged, or a lot of it, but they all act like little Tramps!    They don't care...  Even the "housewives" of wherever...  The Kardashian Wedding was supposed to be the biggest of all time, but those people, the whole family, are just a mess!   ANYthing for a buck, and more publicity....  Same for that little Boo-boo family.... 

What a waste of time!

Yes Starbucks.... We walk through where "old" Elitch's was...  They redeveloped that old amusement park, and built all different types of housing!  But the trees have grown up so beautifully!  And the Homeowners have fixed up their little front garden areas, and it is just so pretty, and peaceful...  A little park, even senior housing, AND a "Commune" type of living....   I worked at Elitch's when I was 15, 16.... So this area is just "home" to me....  We are probably some of the oldest ones around, Ha! 

Except for Theresa, and she just turned 90!  

spookie, I am sorry they are doing that with the houses. I still have my dogs ashes and my mom s. I keep thinking I need to find a nice cemetery but I just can't seem to be ready. I may sound crazy but it's makes me feel as if they are still with me in a way. I totally get why you are so upset sending you hugs. 

Yes Wren!  I had mentioned that to Sass twice....  Only I said she needs her own web-site... a blog is better, right? 

Smarty.... you wouldn't DARE, would you?    Yes, I'll bet you already did!  Ha, ha!

DH brought home 6 eggs!  6 EGGS mind you!  So I'm fixing them "stuff" to take over in the morning...  I made the BEST egg salad to take up for our "picnic" today!  I just hard-boiled older "fresh" eggs, let them sit in cold water, then dumped water out, and shook them up good in the pan, then peeled them!  THIS time the egg peels came right off!  Then I cut them up, instead of mashing them, added a little Mayo, Mustard, sunflower-seeds, and diced dill pickles!  And I took up bagel chips instead of bread... PLUS that out of date potato salad....  Must have been okay!   She LOVED it!

I still had a dozen eggs from the LAST time I watched "the girls!"   I wish I could think of more ways to USE them all!  I love scrambled,  with 1/2 and 1/2!..... And Rabbit-in-the-holes.... And what else can I do? 

Enerva.... Lacee has her own place on our dresser...  And yes... but when I pick up that little container with her ashes, it just hurts all over again...   But her special place is just staying there....  so yes, she IS still with me.....

The goats readily put themselves up on 4th of July. Still hoping the family up the hill has a show tonight or tomorrow night. I believe he was out mowing this morning so a good sign. Has a couple extra vehicles in driveway. He has bought some really expensive stuff in the past. It is pretty nice for early July, only about 90 out there.

Sassy - have you added owlettes to your personal dictionary? That might help and it would stop correcting you? How's computer behaving? OO - I gather still not behaving.

Yes Chevy I agree about the Kardashians. I'm not even going to look to see if I spelled that right. Have never turned on a "housewife of" program or the trashy K's or Honey BooBoo. What gets my goat (ha ha) is no station EVER broadcasts Pops Go The 4th - the Boston Pops on the Esplanade. That and they used to broadcast their Christmas concert which is absolutely darling. I guess no money in it. I know the Pops was put on last night (rather than tonight) because of the hurricane but the 1812 overture was rained out anyway.

Spookie - My dad was a mechanical engineer. I know some of the places he built buildings but no clue what they were. I know he built part of the Air Force Academy, part of the Univ. of New Mexico and Univ. of Hawaii. Would cry if I knew his buildings were torn down. I spent time recently looking on google earth at the houses we lived in. I keep meaning to find the one in Colo. Only one is not there that I know of - the one in Hawaii is gone. Dogs I have a boxer buried in El Paso and countless hamsters/gerbils. Two baby goats buried here along with my 25 year old Amazon parrot. The adult goats have to go the pet cemetery - DH and I just can't manage them.

Lucky Phyllisonthespot - 15,000 posts and 501 pages. Pretty cool those came together. What's the chance? So Phyllo - so I missed it. When was the biopsy because I thought you were still in the waiting to get 'er done yet stage? Got your paintball gun ready for any hooligans? Sparkle on!

One 4th of July it had rained most of the early afternoon. Damp, damp. The smell of the gunpowder in the fireworks just hung in the air of my little valley between the ridges. Looked like fog.
