morning owls.
I'm off for the first follow up from the sx. Don't know if she'll take out the drains or not. Feeling a little funky this morning. Not running a fever. Just feel off. Of well, I'll take a nap when I get back.
Have a good hump day you all

Just got a call from my Plastic surgeon's office. My reconstructive surgery was moved from the hospital to a surgical center. Not sure what this means and if I am going to be home on the same day or what. Was told I was supposed to be in the hospital for a day or two.

Smaarty, hope ya get feeling better, unfunked....let us know what Dr. Says....
Teka, love the snow & coffee cartoons.
Sasafrass, Lennon donated $ to NYPD the year before his death. NYC had more crime then, cops did not have the bullet proof vests. I remembered hearing/reading that. It always stuck with me. My dad was on the LAPD. My childhood was influenced by that. Watts riot. Also my dad was a gunner in WW2. He joined the Air Force, hoping to be a pilot. He hated violence.
HOOTIE Hoo Patty......Morning all....

Sassy, I am intrigued by your search for Chinese dress. My father was in the Navy, and in the years that the Communists were taking over, he was on a ship that regularly sailed a circuit from San Francisco to Tsingtao, China, and various other stops. So many of the upper class were selling all they owned to have enough cash to escape, and Americans bought all they could. One of the things I found in Mom's stuff after she died was this piece of brocade. It was wrapped around a newspaper dated (I think) 1947. It's about 30" wide and probably 3 yards long.
I used it as a background for a Christmas sermon slide I did for a pastor who was doing a series on the colors of Christmas. You might recognize the piece I used with it.
The last dress my mom made (she was an amazing seamstress) was for me when DH & I renewed our vows at our 10th anniversary. We had been married by a JP, so this was our church wedding. The fabric was another piece that Dad had brought from China. It's ivory silk, with little flowers eyeletted by hand - you can still see the pencil marks where they were drawn. I don't have digital pics but I can get some. I designed the dress, my mom made the pattern by cannibalizing old patterns and making the rest from newspaper. She was 80 years old then. What a gal!
Of course this doesn't help your search, but I know how you love a story!

Morning Owlies! Just came back from my hearing test....Lost more hearing in my R. ear, but now it matches the Left ear... They adjusted and cleaned my hearing aids, gave me new, larger domes, and WOW!!!! I can even hear myself breathe! AND the motor running in the car! Had to turn the TV down even!
They do this at Costco for no charge, once you buy your hearing aids from them!
AND I just figured out how to turn on the AC on in my car!!!! Will wonders ever cease?
Spookie.... you didn't ever say if your car came with a spare tire? Did you get one? Or have you used that inflater kit in the trunk?
And I LOVE the picture of little Spookie! She is so beautiful with her long hair.... She LOOKS like a little Princess! I would probably have little pink bows all over her.... glitter ones!

Holeinone - hey Hootie hoo
Smarty - hope you get those drains out today
Chevy - can you hear me now ?
0 -
Oh MAN! I could hear you WHISPER...Ha! And of course the new larger "domes" make my ears itch.... some allergy to plastic/rubber, but I will use the "Calm Ear" on my ears, until they get used to the new "stuff." Gotta be SOMEthing, right?

all is well. The drains will come out next week. I could probably get them out on Friday but we have a big storm coming in and I'm in no rush. Everything looks good. She couldn't get the do gears done but can do them later if I want to. Anybody ever have this done under local?
I spent all day yesterday reading the constipation thread. Was getting a little worried, but all has cleared the shoot as of this morning! Yeah. I am going to start taking fish oil and probatics again.
I think we all love a good story, so keep them coming
Hope everyone has a good day.

No, my car didn't come with a spare tire, no room for one. DHs 14 Nissan doesn't have one either. Got the tire warrenty on mine, don't know how to use the kit, hope I never need to figure it out. A/C is a good thing in summer!
What did doc say about your cough

She called in another prescription.... an antibiotic...I think the Z-pak... I'll pick it up in the morning... We stopped by the STORE, but of course it wasn't there..."not called in"... even though she called me on my cell, to say it was THERE... So I had to call back... but don't feel like going out again today...
"Probably Bronchial Asthma, which I knew, but it's just hard to exhale... especially at night...Just have to work through it.... It IS worse, but I'll get the antibiotic tomorrow.... I just don't know why it started! I was FINE when I went for my physical.... then a sore throat, then sniffles, then all hell broke loose.
Thanks for the info about the spare... DH & Nephew are looking on Craigs List and a junk-yard. There is "room" for one, and DH will cover it with something... maybe a board... then of course a jack & lug-wrench. I'd just rather call road-side assistance.... but he just thinks we should be prepared...
Have you ever used those nasal rinses? Man, you could blow your whole brains out! Those help too. Hug Spookie for me.... such a darling little girl!

Smaarty - bet you're familar with Ariom from Australia (I lurk on way too many threads). I think she had her uni MX dog ear removed under local. Bet your big storm coming is the one we're getting this weekend. If only it would bring the sun after it. None seen today and it's still a chilly 58. I think that is around our normal temp but darn it I need the sun.
Been washing loads of laundry - 3 sets of bath mats, dog pillow cover. Next is 2nd bleach load of towels left from mess last week. Tomorrow I need to tackle the dreaded dog bath. That is unless I can leave it for DH on his day off Friday.
H1O - I love "unfunked". Maybe should be my daily wish "to be unfunked".

Hi LilGoats! This is so cute....I thought of you....

luvmygoats- Guess it would depend on how big the dog ear is and if you could stay still enough for the plastic surgeon to work.
As far as sleeping, I move different places most nights (spare bedroom, couch, recliner), our house is usually 68 degrees, my feet keep me up and I have restless leg syndrome or periodic movement syndrome as the sleep doc said. What ever it is - it keeps me awake. I used unisom yesterday and got some sleep - never enough and it gives me a headache the next day. You know I have tried a few SSRI's and didn't feel they did anything. So I stopped. I am leary of trazadone. I never would have thought that to rid the body of estrogen would so effect the ability to sleep. oh well
Pouring here and more on the way, just glad it isn't snow! Sorry for all the weather back East. Guess California will get hit after us..
Stay warm and dry folks. Love the cartoons.

Rosie.... Is it the Aomasin that gets rid of your estrogen? Could you try something like Tamoxifen, or ask about it? I know it works differently, and it "blocks" cancer cells from feeding the estrogen.... or something like that...instead of getting RID of the estrogen... I'm just sorry you can't sleep....
Maybe you could even ask?
0 -
Chevy- I asked about tamoxifen and got no answer. Maybe because I have had a DVT they don't want to give me that. He wouldn't say. Aromasin makes your joints hurt like an old rusty tin man and gives you insomnia. Sucky.. oh well.
You should go get your zpack tonight and start it. I hope you feel better. bronchitis sucks.
So how do you like your new car? What color did you get? Does it handle in the snow ok? Did you name it? We named our Subaru (before it got rear ended - Soba which means "lets go" in Chinese. The Passat is "Millie" for millenium 2000. My trusty Caravan is named "La Cheapa" by the kids who were all disappointed that we didn't get something exciting and showy...to which I replied you can always walk! My DD didn't want to drive it because welI it's a mini van and bottom of the line; what if one of her friends saw her! I wanted another name but "La Cheapa" stuck...:-( My DH even made me a "La Cheapa" mix CD to play.. boo. I like my van and can get a ton of things in it. You should name it!

Hehehe if I were to name my car it would have to be jalapeño. That's the name of its paint color. I never loose it in a parking lot

I've used trazodone for sleep for some time. No side effects that I can remember. It takes a week or so for your body to adjust to any new med.

paid 2.94 and thinking that was a good price - for California
Rose, we're bracing for a big storm Friday, we need the rain! Too bad I have to drive 55 miles to LA to have dinner with brother and his family, leaving around noon to miss freeway traffic, Dad and I will find something to do in LA

gas was $2.57 yesterday at Costco.
Nettie, nice pics.

This is my "new" car! We just got our emissions passed yesterday... For SOME reason, you need to have your cars pass an emission check, or you can't renew your plates every 2 years... Now next week we go get the new plates, etc!
Well I could name it "Beer Hauler" Ha! But that whole idea kinda rubs me the wrong way...You KNOW how much I wanted to haul BEER in my pretty little car... Ha, ha! But we went and got the damn BEER... but DH said he would get his Brother to go get it next time... with his T R U C K !!!!!
"She should have a name like "Princess Chevy"... or "Cruz like you mean business".... or something more inappropriate.
It's so funny, because this whole "beer thing" shouldn't rile my feathers, because I've done this for probably 20 YEARS! And I WORKED for COORS! But just the thought of putting that much BEER in MY CAR? MY NEW CAR???? Just made me mad miffed! It's always been about 4 cases... And they only weigh 18 pounds a case... so that's like almost 2 people sitting in the back seat... Ha, ha! But I made a fuss... Yes I did!
Actually I wouldn't want even that many cases of Pepsi in there! Just the thought I guess...Makes no sense... right?
Rosie, I'm getting the Z-pak this morning... but my chest is a little "looser" this morning... I'm just thankful I have the Nebulizer...and Mucous Relief.. and Inhalers... and Nyquil... and blah-blah....So I will take it easy today...
Got my exercise bike the other day, but I won't put it together until I can ride it! Now THAT thing is "cute".... Ha, ha!
Spookie, what did you name your car? You are on the last page... It's green right? Kermit? I could name mine Tonto... You know... silver-bullet and all? I keep forgetting where my car is in the parking lot....
Then I remember I can hit "unlock" and my little lights flash! So MODERN these things! And my Husband doesn't get in..... until I push the "un-lock" button! Now THERE'S a mean thought! Watch him stand there, so patient, and I finally unlock the doors and he can get IN. And I smile sweetly.... I have ALL the control now!!!!!!!!!!AND I told you, I found the AC button!!!!!!!! I am just a regular WHIZ at this stuff now!
Nettie... those little kids are soooooo cute!

Mags LOL you are so right, I love stories. The material is beautiful. I see dragons. I've learned that only the royalty (?) could wear dragons. That was likely very expensive cloth. AND I do recognize the candy dish. Matches the dress perfectly
Jwoo great web site. Makes me think even more this is a man's costume. None of the woman's costumes button down the front. I tried to google history of timeline of men's clothing. couldn't get anything to come up. I thought that web page you had might have a similar page for men, but I couldn't pull it. Maybe you can. What kind of accents? The frogs are ornate. Other than the sleeves being turned on the grain. I would say it's quite simple. The stitching ---what should I look for?
Smarrty--in your pocket
even if your home--------I slept yesterday away. I had my dog ears removed in the fourth sx under general. PS used them for nipples.LMG hope all is gong well with the clean up---I just wouldn't be up to it.
Nettie sweet and lovely
Blondie---281? Code for?
Sleep attack BBL

Chevy, glad you finally got your car AND you're learning all it's "tricks".
Paid $2.29 yesterday for gas. Average here is doing $2.45
I'm such a bad reader, I don't retain stuff anymore, so sorry for not commenting on everyone.
I remember someone has snow and there was talk of car names.
Hope everyone is getting ready for Christmas.
I do have a rant that I just need to get off my chest and I'll do that later when I'm at a computer, typing in this phone is too hard.

Getting a little snow here this morning, its supposed to be snow showers and flurries, but its been snowing since I got up and hasn't stopped!

Sassy- I think 281 was gas prices in Philly... could be wrong. It's 269 here, not at Costco. Raining...of course
Spookiesmom- Name it after a beer "Porter" or a name you especially like- we had a station wagon growing up named "Betsy," no kidding! Princess Cruz or the Duchess.. etc. the Silver Fox....
Be careful driving from CA to LA...
