    Morning gals~

    Badger, hope your Iris are most beautimongus! I know they
    will be.... Those tubors can take a beatin' actually!

    After awhile, or years, you have to divide them.... just
    chop those little suckers in half, and move them somewhere else.... They LOVE
    it!

    I know Chickens and Iris... Ha!

    Yes Smarty.... Macrame! I used to make those pot
    hangers... But those were easy compared to the hanging you posted!

    Okay Cammi, miss pretendingtobedense.... You MUST include
    a ROOSTER in with the line-up of Hens...which will make him delighted! But most
    city people frown on Roosters in someone's yard....

    So THAT means that you can have Chickens..... by the way,
    when they are baby chicks, HOW do they know if they are male or female???
    THAT could be a problem.

    ANYway, without a Rooster, to come along and be amorous
    with the Hens, they will only lay duds.... eggs that are not fertilized! The
    Rooster has to do this deed beFORE she goes and lays her fertilized little
    egg.

    I TOLD you about the story of Bea and Estell! I didn't
    know either...! But Mr. Estelle told me to go ask his wife... "Bea"! And she
    set me straight.... and therefore I felt like a dunce.

    The "Mom's" incubate their eggs by laying on them! Just
    like birds and bees.... oh wait..... Owls! See? Chickens "do it" too!

    So that is your Chicken lesson for the day. Take notes
    next time Cammi.... it gets complicated. But now I wonder, HOW do they
    fertilize all those eggs at the Chicken farms? It must be like a regular
    free-for-all with those Roosters! It's like a Den of Inequity! One big
    FOREVER party!

    Okay, on to more serious stuff... SASS! You got it
    figured out? Good Job! You'll forget it by when next time it rolls around....
    like I do.

    Morning Tang! Yes, we are oblivious to what others
    do.... we don't care.... and we know what you mean... so we just go merrily
    on our oblivious way.... Ha!

    Sass...... don't say a word...... I know what you are
    thinking..... just skip over this part....

    Blondie! You can seat-dance! YES! Anyway you can dance
    is great! It just makes you feel good.

    You can breathe later.... just dance when you
    can!

    Hi Peppermint! Yes, I was sleeping.... YOU guys never
    sleep! And there is JWOW~ Go to bed you guys! Tomorrow is another day.... I
    mean today is! xoxoxo

    Good Morning Ladies.

    Good going Blondie--How wonderful u got to go and dance any way u want.

    Tang I hope we get some pics out of this and the party sound great. It is tiring tho. Tang I'm only on a few threads now and some have the same people too LOL just a couple don't but it took me a while to find where I think I really like everyone and fit in and that's where I stay. And enjoy and care about everyone.

    OK another one knows the double screen, u make it sound easy, well not for me--so I still go by memory which we know is worthless.

    Chevy, I watched an episode of Dirty Jobs about "sexing" chicks.  They  just flip them over and peek.  I guess you can see even when they are still yellow and fuzzy.

    Blondie, glass you are breathing a bit easier and had a good time. 

  • dutchiris

    Cami,  I enjoy your posts and I'm glad you are here.  I seldom post but when I do it's really only here with a few exceptions.   There are a lot of wonderful ladies on this thread.

    Tang, happy to hear the party went well.  Sometimes we are so "in the moment" or busy that we don't get as many pictures as we would have liked.  We are so fortunate to have so many patient, understanding, and humorous ladies here (including you :)).

    Enerva, you are so talented.  You make so many beautiful things.

    Phylliwithmeltedtitesstillchasingtricksofmen, how are you doing?

    Hole, is you dh pain getting any better?  

    I went on a long scooter ride yesterday.  I saw a little girl setting up her lemonade stand.  I stopped by and I was her first customer.  Wow, the price of lemonade has gone up.  She did share her recipe for yummy lemonade.  That and her joy made it worth a dollar.

    Happy Sunday morning....today is...

    Blondie & Susan, nice you are getting out & rockin the chair dancing...

    Tangadang, Happy B-day to your sweet Izzy. They grow up way too fast. Are you getting any peach fuzz yet ? My hair came in like a baby's. Now growing & wild with calicks. 

    Dutchie, sounds like a fun outing on your scooter. Kids love the lemonade stands & friendly costumers.

    DH is home. In the new "extremely ugly" lift chair I bought. It is huge...He is glad to be home, basically sleeping most the time. I am tired, dirty dishes sitting around, I need to get in the shower. It will be a slow  go, but the worst is behind him. 

    I had my first mammo last Tues, right before he went in for his 2nd go around of surgeries. The radiologist said "looked good".

    lost my post!

    HIO, good news. Try not to do too much, much easier said than done.

    LA got rain yesterday. Blessings and 2nd, did you see any?

    Everyone have a good Sunday. Got to go exercise a bit. I don't think trying on about 2 doz jeans counts!

    Yahoooo....we got rain, finally :))

    Good morning everyone...happy watermelon day.

    Enerva, love the owl you made. Every time I see anything owl I think of all of you gals. 

    Blessings, great news on the normal MRI.

    Smaarty, I think trying on all those jeans burned lots of calories. You really look great. 

    I hope everyone has a nice day.

    Enerva, I'm going to try making those owls because I think they would make great Christmas tree ornaments. DS's family always cuts down a tree in the forest and has nature-based ornaments.

    I think some of us are losing posts because we're hitting back to top instead of submit. I've done it I know.

  • need to catch up, till I do, Little Goats, this is for you:

    have a good night, big brother coming on...

    bbl


  • Went to a cancer support group this afternoon at church. My third time there and I'm enjoying it. It's a mix of different types of cancer, but there are some BC'ers in there. I met a younger woman and she told me about a local support group for women dx with BC at 40 or younger. I'm going to check that out too.

    Hope ya'll are having a good weekend. I don't think we have many pics of the party lol. Bad bad I know.

    Is there reason to worry about an itchy mole that came up??? Doesn't always itch.

    So happy MRI looked good, hopefully things will start to improve for you. Stress alone can really effect the memory, so maybe with that worry off the table, things will be looking up.Stephanie

  • hi ladies!

    I usually have 2 tabs open on the iPad (or Mac) and toggle between the two so I don't forget anything. Starting Friday, when I went back to the "writing" tab, everything would be gone. Sucks! Happened a couple times.  Too frustrated to get back to it. 

    Tang, it was nice to read about Izzy's party, sounds like you pulled it off! Too bad you didn't get photos but sounds like it was so much fun and were just in the moment. Better that way than so boring you had too much time for photos. 

    Chevy, so agree with "So memories aren't what's important... It's what is going on NOW....". 

    Smaarty, so awesome for you! You've put in so much work glad it's paying off. And if truth be told, I'm envious! Yes, we got a bit of rain here.

    Hi1, sending you strength to help with your DH. How's he doing, more importantly, how are you? Glad to hear he's now, must be a bit easier for you?

    PattyP, aw, thanks, just so very busy lately. I miss the games too and playing them with you in the dark hours. Seem to be getting more sleep lately.

    Enerva, the macrame owl is cute! Your niece is on to something. 

    Badger, would love to see irises when they bloom, so pretty. 

    Sassy, way cool about DS's GF, sounds like a winner! Must be important if he wants you to meet her (or see her again in this case). 

    Blondie, glad you got out even if you didn't dance. Nice be out with people in at a fun event.

    Jwoo, working on it.....

    Cami, if you're not double-screening,you're awesome! I can't remember anything, you do so well! Just curious, how old was Joey in your avatar?

    Susan, hoping you had a wonderful with your DD! Soaking up all the fun times!

    Blessings, good news about the MRI! Hoping you're continuing to take it easy! Just to clarify, that means doing as docs say, no physical activities (no housework, yard work, cleaning out others' homes). Your brain needs a rest, so quiet activities for you, missy.

    Dutchie, the scooter ride sounds fun! Price of lemonade is going up, I remember it was 25 cents.

    To catch up: ran a bunch of errands yesterday: Salvation Army to buy some golf clubs (putting green where Dad lives, brother and his son coming down from Northern Cali on Tuesday, need to keep the 9-yr from being board), local farmers market, stop at the local animal shelter to leave a bunch of old towels (and check out the dogs and cats), pet store for cat litter (check out the animals), Wally World for golf balls, then spent several hours in the library researching family history for Mom's photo/memory book (had phone off so I missed an invite to have dinner with the girls). Big party behind us and one house over, loud rock and roll music, headache causing loud. After about half an hour, ended abruptly, too early for a break, turns out it was raining! Thanks for the rain. I don't think we got much. 

    Paws, did you get much rain? Was thinking of you last night because I heard fireworks going off nearby (big no-no as dry as it is). Almost called the police but they stopped. If you have an open area near you (meaning very dry), do you call the police (to prevent fire spread)?

    While at Wally World got a call from Dad that on his visit to see Mom yesterday, when he arrived Mom was sitting in the hall with no shoes or socks, shirt on backwards and inside out, no bra. That wasn't so bad, but she had a black eye. They said it happened right after he left on a Friday, she fell down. What really bugged him was that they were supposed to call to inform him of such problems but they never did. 

    Got a great night sleep (the new pills to stop hot flashes seems to be making them much worse), difficult to get moving. Forced myself to go on a very long walk - instead of walking around the block several times, set off for DD's elementary school - over a mile away! Halfway there, thought I was crazy, especially how humid it was. Glad I did it.

    Was talking on the phone with a friend this afternoon, had to go outside because DH was listening in (I think he's paranoid I talk about him). Saw this wasp nest and silly me had to knock it down. Yup, got stung on the bridge of my nose. No stinger but big time hurt. After Internet search, put a baking soda paste on (too close to my eyes for caladryl), took anti-hist and Tylenol, fell asleep all afternoon (would wake up, look at the clock, and wake up a while later). Probably with all the other stuff I'm taking it just knocked me out. Now I can't sleep. Hoping I don't lose this long post.

    For everyone else I didn't call out by name, thinking of you and sending good thoughts and hugs your way. 

    Edited to add:to prevent losing post, would copy what I had written so it wouldn't go poof. Must have worked.

    Oh Man! Did you see that? I mean 2222222nd that was
    amazing!

    Such an informative post....And well written, and naming
    everyone? AND you didn't lose it before you posted it. That is what's
    important.... Ha!

    That reminds me so much of my Grandma, when she was going
    through what your Mom is.... The putting on 2 dresses, etc... she didn't hurt
    herself, but I think she tried to smack all the other ladies with her cane! The
    Helpers told me that... While they were eating she would just hit their
    legs... but when I said it would probably be best if she didn't DO that, she
    didn't have a clue what I was talking about.....

    I forgot, she is in AL right? Or in a nursing home? A
    nursing home usually takes care of them a little better,
    I thought..... At least when it comes to daily care...

    I loved that video ! So I found another
    one!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4rFVtEVA-o&feature=share&app=desktop

    I laughed so hard I woke DH up, so he went in the other
    room to sleep.... crab!

    Morning Tang, Smarty & Nettie...

    Nettie, don't worry about nothin' else, unless it gets as
    big as a Volkswagon and hampers your daily chores...

    Just watch it, and report any changes to
    us....

    My skin gets so many things, it is just a daily occurrence
    now.... best if left ignored.

    good morning all

    2 ND time thanks, your post helps me catching up with the rest. Sending hugs to your dad, he is right they should have called him about her fall. When they start falling it's when things can go wrong. :(

    Chevy, that password thing is hilarious!!  I love it!!  I have to write down all my passwords, there is no way I can remember, but for simple stuff, I mostly use the same one, but other sites, that force you to change every few months drive me nuts!  How the hell am I supposed to remember it when they keep making me change it??   

    Had a pretty decent weekend!!  Today is my birthday - but my parents cooked for me yesterday and had the family over, but the another good thing is that the meal was awesome and since I eat lunch every week day at my parents, I get to have a repeat today!!  

    We shall see how the rest of the day plays out!  Kind of wondering if DH will be an arse today or if he will try to be decent!  We shall see!!

    Update on back issues - this gets more and more confusing to me!  Now only have pain when in certain positions for too long and still if I try to push my shoulder's back!  One thing I'm thankful for is that it does NOT keep me from sleeping, however, it may wake me a little if I move the wrong way in my sleep, but as soon as I settle, I'm right back to sleep!  I just wish I could tell the difference between bone pain and muscle pain!  I feel like a crazy person when I say that!

    Wishing everyone a happy monday!

    Oh my 2nd, that's terrible about your mom and I hope you can trust the staff to be truthful!!  It just sucks!!  The only experience I've had with having someone in a home was my precious SIL (actually she was more like a daughter to me - long story), but anyway, in the late stages of her cancer (glioblastoma) we had no choice but to put her in a nursing home!  Her mother, thankfully, was able to stay with her alot!  The home tried to tell us that wasn't allowed, but she did it anyway!  I know this is not an option for most, we were just very fortunate and my hubby went by several times a day and he always changed the schedule so they never knew when he was coming that way they couldn't plan for his visits and make things "look" good!!  Even still, there were several times we found her laying in a "dirty" bed!! It's just so sad, but I've said it a million times, the people on staff that have to do the hardest work are the most underpaid most of the time!!  That's why I think, at least here in Louisiana, that's why things can get left unkept or undone!  We had one very nice "aide" and my husband saw to it that she got a "tip" for caring!!!  We never had to worry when she was on duty!! 

    Anyway, I'm rambling, just wanted to say how sorry I am about your mom!!
