Oh WTH? We are as old as fossils? I resemble that remark! Just keep MOVING kids.... don't let the hurts catch up with you.... it don't feel good.
222222222222nd! Okay kid..... time to get some professional help... You sound like you feel awful! Are you on auntie-B's? Sounds like you might need them.... Even if it is a "virus" I think the anti'B's would protect you from something worse.
Maybe you have the flu?
I'm so sorry you guys are not feeling well!
And that Spookie is getting as old as mud..... along with Sassy! MY girls are MY age.... 53 and 56!

Great pic chevy! Your girls are so cutE!
just a quick check-in.....had to take dh to ER today he had a shelf fall on his head at work. He has a concussion
Doc cleared him to work tomorrow, thought that was strange. When went to pick up dd from school we found out that the schools are closing, well 3 of them for Ebola stuff. Good Lord help us. A nurse that lives out here dealt with one of the patients and she has kids out here. Everyone is FREAKING out.

Hello all you little restless non-sleeping honeys! I'm sorry everyone has been and are being sick. That sucks........like something! Be sure you take advice from one of our former nurses and NOT cammi's weathermanguy. She knows his crud-entials and does not trust them, even though she swears she just does what her doctors tell her to. I hope none of them went to weatherman school.
I just read that last paragraph and yup, I'm on drugs. Many of them. Also, one of the chemo drugs gives me tremors and makes typing on my tablet a whole new adventure! Oh yeah, they also took away my paintball gun because of that. Something about my aim?
I found out with my 2nd chemo that this regimen tanks my platelets instead of my WBC. We had to delay the 3rd cycle for a week. But! I finished my third cycle and am halfway done! Can I get an amen?
sassy - now I'm sorry that i can't go to the Harry Potter thing with you guys. But i still wouldn't read all of the books. 😊

Tang - I got a tweet about that earlier. Could not comprehend the relationship; kinda garbled. I keep twitter open and mostly get channel 8 tweets, some other weather related ones too. I don't have a smartphone. Kid also in Saginaw school but I think they self quarantined. Sorry about DH's head. No work restrictions tomorrow? Sorry don't remember what he does. Does that mess up State Fair plans for the weekend?
Aw Phyllo no paintball gun. What's a girl gonna do?
OK Chevy I think older daughter in black on right? She looks just like you well except for the blonde hair.
Got some porch sitting time until a couple of flies attacked along with whiny dog wanting in my lap.
Nurse Nina Pham being transferred right now to Bethesda. Tang you can appreciate this. Fox anchor says 10-15 min to get from Presby to Love Field. More like 40 minutes I bet.

Well the rain stopped earlier in the afternoon. Just kicking back and enjoying a few minutes of peace and quiet as I get ready for the Patriots-Jets game in a bit.
0 -
The Pats game is boring to me, don't care for the Jets.
Patty and 2nd please take care of yourself.
Phyllie, how do you feel really?
Enerva sorry about your sister...
Got Gone Girl from the library will start it tonight.. I haven't really slept, 1/2 hour here and there, was up all night, so sick of this crap...taking 10mg predesone which is 1/2 of the 20mg that I got.
Getting off to eat ice cream and then to lay down....
Hugs....thanks for being here....Have no place to go tomorrow thank goodness...
ME
PS my oldest son will b 40 on the 28th, where did the time go, how did we get so old?

AmenPhyliss !
Blondie, I loved Gone Girl, the book. Disturbing, but a page turner. I have not seen the movie yet, but maybe this weekend. I agree, how did we get so old? I realized the other day, I know, hard to believe but I was thinking.....I ( or maybe we ) can only think of ourselves as 4-5 years older. When I was 30, I only imagined myself as 35. I never knew grandparents, so I was not raised watching that generation. My parents were old when they had me, not really old, but old for those days. Now at 59, I can picture myself in my mid 60s, but not much older. Do you guys think of aging the same way, in 5 year increments? Could be just me. Chevy, what is your take on this, being the senior spokesperson ?
Also, Chevester, your beautiful daughters resemble you! How lucky we are to have our children, I cannot imagine life without them.
Tomorrow I am back at the chemo center to get a infusion of Zometa......arrrggg, I asked for it, so I am getting it. I will let you know how it goes...

Just got back from my kids volleyball game and they won! close game. A bunch of middle schoolers - so CUTE! Glad I went. My kid called me at 6am from the dorms to tell me not to miss the game. 6am.. arrrggg. They get up early. OY! I am tired. I got up at 1:30am and more melatonin and back to bed - up at 6. Kids.. they are as bad as cats. I throw all my cats out - they will walk right across me at night snd then lay down on my head! No sense of boundaries. My dogs are well behaved in their beds asleep.
Chevy be thankful you're older then dirt - the alternative is - under the dirt! Ha ha.. the fossil thing was kinda harsh. Your daughters are cute.
It's ok being older parents. I'm 56 with a 21, 19, 13 year old. (first and last ones adopted)
Phyllis -Amen! Can't do paintball with tremors --- well you might end up being the next Jackson Pollock?! abstract painter and make millions!
All those battling the crud, flu, respiratory junk lay low and heal up!
This Ebola thing is pretty over the top. I mean we lose hundreds to thousands from flu every year and no one panics! I do think sending everyone to the 4 speciality hospitals makes sense. Then they can collect data, keep all the treatment the same and study what works.
May we all sleeeeeep zzzzzz.

my oldest will be 45 next month. I still kind of think of myself as being that age now. I understand better how my mom feels about looking old so she wouldn't use her cane. I'll be 65 (yikes) next birthday. Don't feel that old!
Nettie hasn't checked in lately, she get her vacation?

Chevy, how often do I try to make a joke? Rose thinks I was harsh. Now what?0 -
Oh? So what's this with asking Chevy about what it's like growing older?
WHO said this? Was it .... HI-ho??? You little Dickens!Well seriously now, getting older is just simply what happens! And it
ain't pretty.... Ha! I know we are just plain lucky to be able to do it, and I
thank GOD every night, and every morning to have another day.But DANG girls, 77 is just a wee-bit older than I ever dreamed about! It
don't FEEL like it, but oh wait.... yes it does.But no-matter what, I get up, (carefully) and hope I am not dizzy this
time, and get the day started... Make-up and hair always, unless we aren't
going out.... then I just brush my hair, and pull it back so's I don't scare
people.But when I was maybe 20, I thought 24 was old! I mean those women I worked
with seemed ancient....5 year increments? I hardly remember what those were! Lately they come in
10 year installments!So I looked up my planned "due-date".... It came out that I will live
beyond 96! There must have been a mistake somewhere along the line.... You
gals better BE here, or else!Just take care of yourselves gals... Be happy, as much as you can... and
love with all your heart... don't be dragged into un-happy situations, or do
things that will hurt you..... like walking!Phylliweshouldnotteaseher, because she has had a bitch of a time.... So
glad you gave up the paint-ball-porch thing! The Feds were on their way.And thank you for the compliments for "those girls".... They keep me
young.Rosie.... I just don't pay any attention to those "things" .... they come
from people I love... Ha!On WAIT~ What you said makes sooooooo much sense! About how many die from
the flue every year!Okay now Sass will be on us like fleas on a dog, telling us how different
this is.... and I guess it is, but I don't know how.Sass, just make a joke for us.... Or did you? If you did, I didn't get
it, which is nothing unusual...So

my take on age.
The calendar says 66.
The brain says 45.
The body says 106.
That's me!

Amen to the vodka, Chevy. Here's my story about growing old. My sweet DH is nine years younger than I. We met when he was a 27 year old Air Force sergeant and I was a 36 year old two time divorcee. We married two months later. After we'd been married a few months, he said to me one day, "When I was a kid, I thought, when I'm a teenager I'll feel grown up. When I got to be a teenager, I thought, when I turn 18 I'll feel grown up. When I turned 18 and didn't, I thought, I'll join the military, that will make me feel grown up. But it didn't. Then I thought, when I get married, I'll feel grown up. But I don't. When will I feel grown up?" I replied, that's the secret. You never do. We are now 63 and 54 and cousin is 77. And none of us is grown up. Though we do grown up things. Well, some of us do. I read FaceBook and play games on the internet. All my friends live there.

Jwoo - Ohhh if that light machine works wouldn't that just be the BEST!? Jeez I would give anything to try that. I use a Phillips Blue Light therapy machine for the dark Winter months when the Northwest Winter Blues sets in here in Oregon. It seems to help. I wonder if I put the light on my feet what would happen? Never occurred to me to try that. Thanks for the link. I will keep an eye open for more on that therapy. I wonder why it would work. I understand why the photo therapy on the retina works, but how would light on skin effect nerves?
Spookie- pretty funny. I feel 105 some days or at least that's the age my joints feel!
I slept from 11-5Aam - record setting! WoooHooo I feel good.
May we all be well in cancerland. Have a great day.

mags, RIGHT ON! We're only as old as you feel. Wait, wrong proverb, that doesn't work for a lot of us. I don't think we should grow up and act our age! How are 60ish people suppose to act? Our kids and grandkids keep us young. Besides what would we do with a bunch of old, crouchity people anyway?!
I should know more today if I get to go see Harry potter. Keep you posted.
0 -
Yes! I always said, how can I grow old, if I don't know how to grow up? So I'll see YOU guys when you grow up, just like me! Just sayin'!
