DD just called.... She is so PO'd, because she missed it too! She's mad at me, because I didn't CALL her! Her alarm didn't go off... so it is my fault that I only emailed her instead of CALLING her!
And then I hear the rant about how she HATES EMAIL!!! again.... and again... But that's how we talked yesterday, after she called me. I just assumed she was UP, like she always is! She was waiting for that lift-off for 2 hours yesterday... but missed it today.
She will be in a better mood someday...

have been lurking and just checking in.
Cami, glad you checked in. Was wondering what was going on.
Chevy, sweet Chevy, so thankful you're keeping this thread moving along. Congrats on the new car! Daughters, they're funny.
Sassy, did you feel the earth move this morning? Maybe that's too personal, lol!
Speaking of daughters, those who put up with my complaining about mine: don't know who the almost 21-year old female who keeps visiting me. She was here 5 times in October (well, one time she drove out here so we could go see my parents, her idea, even bought me lunch). She's on her way out her now, will be here between 7-8 am. Asked her why: she said to do homework. Huh? Anyway, I'll take it. Need to start breakfast for her in a couple minutes.
Saw these and thought of you:
Or iPad....
Just saw the Orion launch on TV..... Looks like it could have rattled windows...
Have a good day all!

Caught just as it lifted off, I was able to watch it on NASA's channel.

Thanks 222222222! Yes Daughter's get in those.... um..... moods, where they think it is their purpose in life to blame every little thing on their Mom's. I know she hates emails, probably about as much as I hate to text.... But I could watch that launch on my 23" monitor, AND talk to her with email, and it was FINE yesterday, but today it must have ALSO been my fault that her alarm didn't go off...
I just thought she was outdoors watching it... that's what I get for "thinking".... Sounds like your Daughter is "growing-up"? Yes, just take whatever you can get.... xoxoxo

Happy birthday Jen.
Thanks all. If I look human I'll post a pic when I get home. My DS is a camera fiend. She even take pic of me in hospital.
Sorry Blondie about the shingles, that sucks. Hope it doesn't last too long.
By the way, I like vanilla rum and coke. My sister got me hooked on it on the cruise! My DD is on the way over to help me clean. Don't have much to do but that's ok. I got all my Xmas stuff done, even got everything wrapped. I'm ready for Xmas. This will make it easy on DH. He won't have to do anything.
Thinking about all of you. Take care.

Smaarty, surprised to see you here, what time is surgery? If it helps, this was the easiest of my surgeries, even easier and less painful than revision. Will be thinking of you all day and sending you good thoughts. Sounds like you're good to go. Remember they'll look funny, but feel so much better. I forgot, saline or silicone?
Thanks, Chevy, will take what I get from DD, this feels so much better than a couple of months ago. Hopefully she has outgrown her hatred of me but know this may just be a stage too.
Blondie, sorry about the shingles. It sounds awful. One of my DB's was just dx'ed with that too, hoping it doesn't run in families as I had chicken pox too.

Good morning all.
Cami - yay ! Glad to see you post. You are missed.
Blondie - shingles too. It's way past time for you to catch a break. I am rooting for ya.
Smarty - how exciting. Hope today goes smooth and your up and about talking to us soon. Praying for you.
2nd - sounds like your dd is missing her mom. Yay !!! Enjoy it before something else comes up -:).
Chevy - seriously. You didn't call to remind your grown dd of lift off. What were you thinking ? Just lying in bed sleeping. Just kidding. Glad you keep this thread going.
Jwoo - is it your bday ? If so happy birthday. Wasn't sure if it was you or Jen ( no idea who Jen is but I could have missed her ).
Susan - are you lurking out there ? Thinking of you.
Hootie hoo

OK slowly catching back up again. I'm going to limit comments to this page otherwise I will be writing the not so great American novel again which I don't think you all want.
I spent the 4 days after Thanksgiving cleaning out -yes it was that bad - so the heating man could do a system check. He was here maybe 10 minutes, stuck the gauges on it, says it needs washing out but not too bad but too cold to do it and left. He's great - no charge. Church member. AC needs the same thing in the spring too.
So that was Tuesday. Wednesday I really don't remember much. We've had a local murder trial well it's east of Dallas that has been on-line. So with that on and recovering from the 4 day marathon I didn't do much.
But I have a bit in inner psychic (maybe psycho too). I've been uneasy for a while and thought when the laser eye stuff was sched. it was that. NOOO. Showering Wed night and water backed up all in shower, over floor, out onto carpet, in DH's BR but not as bad. Had to have the main drain line to the septic replaced yesterday. Beaucoup dollars and bad juju day. But PTL the sun is out today. I have the washer finishing the last of reg. laundry and about to get into bleaching a monster load. Thank goodness I have tons of towels left from goat birthings because I used nearly all of them on the floors. What I don't get done get hung on the fence to dry out at least. Looks lovely since I'm on the corner.
Happiest of birthdays JWoo. Was the trip to England a self present?
Congrats Rosie on DD's BD.
Smaarty - Wishing you easy peaceful uneventful surgery and recovery.
Oh please send the skinny sleep here after you've found it 2TA. OK I have the non-existent daughter. We did get her and go to DB's house for Thanksgiving. That was all. I texted her when we got home, no response back. Not like she had lots to do - she took Fri. off and stayed home for 3 days playing computer games. I wonder if I bought her belly dancing lessons or something to get her out of her apt. JK - she'd hate me for that. I had not seen her since June. Talk occas. and she lives a whole one hour from here. I guess I'm going to have to make the effort to see her but all we do is shop and I just cannot afford much of that unless it's resale/Goodwill which is OK with me. Glad you have a new daughter back.
Yuck Blondie Shingles. I need to get my arse down and get the shot. Expensive though but I do think ins. reimburses it. I need to call BCBS to verify.
Have you all heard that the flu vaccine is not as effective this year. Not good news but at least it should lessen the seriousness of an infection. I got the flu in 2008 when they missed one of the strains in the vaccine. Posting hope not too many typos.

luvmygoats - what is it with this generation of adult children? My guess is that there is just so much more social media stuff going on people get a real disconnect with the here and now and tomorrow. Everyone wants everything right now and if they have to wait for even a few minutes out comes the smartphones or gaming devices. Anything to occupy our mind. What happened to waiting in line patiently and speaking to those around you instead ? Hmm technology - love it. And hate it.
Jwoo. It really is your birthday. Sweet !!! Whatcha gonna do ?

Patty, I know what you mean. I needed to ride the bus while I didn't have a car and every single person on the bus except me and small children had a smart phone. People used to at least smile and nod.
My friend had the shingles shot and still got shingles. They told her it would have been much worse if she hadn't had the shot.
Happy Birthday JWoo. Hope you bought yourself a present in England.
I had my flu shot, but it's disquieting to hear that it doesn't cover a bad strain. I know they have to guess in May what the strains will be in order to make the vaccine. I had flu my freshman year in college and was so sick. At my current age I would probably end up in a hospital. It was so bad that they cancelled all the PE classes and used the gym for sick students.

Hello ladies! Hope this finds you all well and kicking butt. My life is on fast forward since finishing chemo in May, then work, radiation and family has been incredibly overwhelming. I'm on Herceptin and tamoxifen, started getting crazy as my cycle is trying to come back so they put me on Effexor which is making me so friggin sick! grrrrrrrmy kids are doing great and we renovated and moved recently. I'm looking to get another mastectomy in Feb. and am thoroughly hating breast cancer
Would love to hear how you all are doing!

Way behind as usual, but this is what I've been doing..............................
My son and grandson looking at our new addition!

No Peppermint.... It was HER that over-slept...Ha! I was up... had BEEN up and watching the whole thing.... And I was emailing her, thinking that she was up & alert! So much for THAT!
AND she hates email... like I hate texting.... "oh well!" They say! She DID just send me an email though.... about seeing her neighbor in the hospital, and sent a picture.... And I behaved and didn't say what a brat she was for going off on ME because she overslept! Some things you just have to let it roll off.... Smarty knows too....
See, these grown Daughter's think THEY are the Mom's sometimes, and can do and say as they please, so we must sometimes act oblivious to their bad behavior.
Oh hey! We have a Myra.... and she has a man of some sort! They look cute enough.... what do y'all think? She sounds okay to me..... And she has kids.... so she MUST be alright....
Ah geez Myra... you mean you are 104 years old? Can't be... And you get to have "ANOTHER" MASTECTOMY? WTH??? Wasn't one enough?
I'm really sorry.... ah man, that has to hurt... I'm sorry....
I'm not serious very often.... at least it isn't any fun to be serious too much. I hope you stay with us.... How old are your little rug-runners?
And you renovated? You need to sit in a recliner and relax girl! Don't they know you need pampered?
Oh WOW Nettie! Congratulations! How far apart are the kids?
Post more pictures...

Can you gals please tell me.... After I lock the car with the RKF.... a little light flashes slowly. Does that mean the car is "armed?" Everything works really well... I was just wondering...

Nettie, congrats!
Myra, hi and welcome back.I relate to the 2nd mx, the do-over. Also, the two different BC's, we're in a different class...
Patty, right on about modern technology, love it and hate it, liking it now
Jeni, how did you spend your day (maybe you can't talk about it.....)
Waiting for Smaarty to check in, hoping she's pleased with her results.
Sassy, how was the launch? House still standing? Did it freak out the doggies?
Rose, how is DD celebrating? My DD is already planning her big 21 blow-out, she's been the youngest of her group and designated driver. She wants to visit local winery/wineries the weekend following weekend, wish I could go along.
Blondie, hope you're feeling better.
Hi1, great photos
Chevy, can't answer your key question. However, with my programming and software testing background, I'd try it out. Lock the car (how you think it works), then try the handle, what happens?
LMG, you rock!
Have a great weekend everyone!

CHEVY, I'd say yes, that means the security system is armed

Thanks for the Bday wishes, everyone!
Rose- happy bday to your DD!
I am working all day, and then tomorrow, I am having a HUGE sit down dinner for 30 of my closest friends. Making a veggie paella and other yummy Spanish treats.
Not anywhere near ready! aack! I can't believe i decided to do this
My BF got my a first edition, perfect condition, signed copy of Vincent and Mary Price's cookbook. I almost fainted.
AAAND we got a new fridge today! floor model, on sale, plus extra discount. We've needed one for a while. YAY!
Nettie- congrats on your beautiful new Gbaby!
Blondie- I hope you feel better soon. I know how horrible shingles can be!
Sorry I have not been too active here- things are busy at work, and i have been trying to prep for this party since I got back.
love you all, and hopefully will have some time sunday or monday to really get caught up here.
xoxoxo

Calling all parents and grandparents!!!!!
HELP
I've grumbled and complained about my oldest grand, the one I tripped over and broke my wrist. The kid tells lies.
From "forgetting" his homework, not having any, to "wasn't me", stuff disappearing. He lies.
Today, my car keys vanished. I knew they were in the house, checked car anyway. Asked him where they were. Looked me in the eye and said he didn't know. When his mom got home, she asked him, he went straight to them.
How can this be stopped? It's getting worse. They've tried taking things away, he hasn't had his bike or iPad for months.
With Christmas so close, and me so mad at him today, I threatened no presents. He doesn't believe in Santa, at 9 he shouldn't.
Ok, I've got a headache I'm going to bed
Thanks for reading

Spookiesmom, so what does he like? Time with friends, certain foods, something has to float his boat. My take is, if he goes without lying, he earns his "reward". If not, he doesn't earn it. He has to work for whatever he wants. Trick is to find his reward. Is lying the only problem? Is he mature enough to explain what the pay off is for his lying? Something is motivating him for inappropriate behavior (does he want to get you angry?). Have been taught that behaviors occurbecause something is gained or something is avoided.

He likes Xbox. Last week, I heard his dad say NOT to do something. Of course, he did. I caught him red handed. Dad took away Xbox for a week. Didn't phase him. I've heard dad lecture about the lies,not sinking in

Smaarty, thinking of you. Hoping the pain meds are working. Don't look, you might be disappointed.
Jeni, wishing you a fantabulous dinner party! But girl, all that work for your friends? Hoping they appreciate the huge effort. Pictures of food if possible
Sassy, forget to ask about the launch.....
