INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

Good morning insomniacs- you were busy last night. I went to bed early, as I have a visit to the MO's office today for a Prolia shot to help with the bones on the AIs. I have that today and a visit to the BS on Friday, and then am done with the cancer docs until the summer (I hope....)

Susan- what a beautiful sweater and hope your daughter loves it. I bet it will be one of her favorites, because you made it for her!

Dune- the onion smell, wow. I hope you can find out what is going on. My invasive tumor was super small (0.4 cm).

Sas- it would be interesting to see if there is a correlation with weight going on rapidly before cancer begins.

Hoping everyone else is doing okay here as the new week begins. I know there is a big bad blizzard coming to the east coast, so stay safe my friends.

And not a snowflake in sight

enerva, I crochet to. Haven't in a long time. Crochet is making a huge comeback here. There is a small knitting / crochet shop by me. They have an animal, can't remember what it was...ha....but made with granny squares sewed together. I didn't even notice it was granny squares....I want to take a class there and learn how to do it.

Chevy, I am not that talented. I compare myself to a monkey...I can be taught anything. But don't make me figure out the instructions. And I actiually write out my pattern rows in a notebook. I can't organize it my head to do rows 2,4,6 in purl and 1,3,5 in knit...or whatever it may say. I number my paper 1-16, or how ever many rows are in the pattern. That is how I follow a pattern. My friends who knit just shake their heads.lol I do more complicated patterns now, and it takes me awhile to write them out. But then it's easy.

When I was a kid, my dad would check my math story problems. He would always ask how I got my answer, I would explain, then he would say, that's not what they meant...haha kinda the same way with a knitting pattern...thank goodness there is utube.

Hope the snow isn't as bad as they say. Stay safe east coast

Good morning friends!

Nice sweater Susan

Sassy, I'm worried about you ((hugs))

It's funny, do you ever talk to your dh or people about the people on BCO? I was about to tell dh about Sassy and I realized that he had no idea who I was talking about lol.

Rose, I can only imagine how hard it was to see your mom in that state.

I'm going for genetic counseling this week and having a vaginal u/s. weeeeee!! haha, the vag u/s is not nearly as fun as it sounds.

xxoo

Chevy, I can't believe what you went through to get to page 180! There's an easier way – just click on the line at the top that tells you where you are - the URL. At the very end it says "page=" and the page number. Just select the page number and replace it with the number of the page you want to go to, and hit return. You will go to that page. Easy peasy.

Susan, beautiful sweater! I could never get the hang of knitting! But when I lived in Maine in another lifetime, an old lobsterman's wife taught me how to crochet fancy doilies, and I loved doing that on long winter nights.

Dunes, about your onion smell. I had a weird thing a couple years ago. I craved ice chips. I would go through glass after glass of them. Finally found out that is a symptom of low iron! Had iron checked, sure enough it was low enough I had to have iron infusions in addition to supplements. No problems since then. Don't know about onions though, but I do know how to get the smell off your hands after slicing them. Run your hands over a stainless steel faucet (or something else stainless steel). Takes the smell right off.

And do you know (while I'm on helpful kitchen hints) how to keep your guacamole from turning brown, the easy way? Leave the pit in the bowl. Learned that from a Mexican gal.

I got nothing else, back to the torture chamber in 3 hours. New driver today, a guy. The drivers have been a bright spot.

Hubby took cousin & me to Charleston's for dinner last night, and by the time I got home I hit the wall. In bed before 7, but couldn't get to sleep until after midnight. Even with a whole Percocet. This sucks big time. Four more weeks. My son arrives Thursday to spend a night with us before going home. In town on business.

gl Smaarty!

As of noon they were forecasting at least 28 inches if not more for me

Oh how would YOU know Spookie? Hunh? You don't even know what snow is!

And MAGS!!!!!!!!!!! You are a genius! I always wanted an easier way to do that! And as soon as I figured out what URL was, it was easier! Don't tell Cammi.... she will be lost. And don't telll ANYbody I didn't know that.... I just did it the old fashioned way.... The "Ican'tbelievesheDIDthat" way..

These are probably what I'll see from this storm    lol

I make her do it! It's like I dare her... Ha! Yes.... we get our snow.... It's okay if it snows, and then the sun shines the next day.... I just don't like the frigid temps, and the COLD!

Yes Mom2.... They keep talking aout what Connecticut will get! I have to go sit on the heating pad...

SOMEhow my right butt bones hurt! I don't know how, or why... so I took 2 aleve, and then I won't talk about the PITA anymore. Damndest thing! I mean it's like when we used to go to those Hockey Games, when the boys played,and we froze our butts off on those ice cold wooden benches!

And that's all my news...... except it's nice here.... but I won't brag about it like SOME people we know.....

just watch her post again......

M0mmyof2, cool beans about you having relatives in Westminster. How that place has grown!!! It used to be a little hick town. No more.

Good luck with this ugly sounding snow. Are they still saying it is supposed to break all records? That's for NY anyway. I can't imagine. Where do they put the snow in NY? At this point they are calling for us to have about 6 inches by morning. I was planning to leave for the airport around 5:30, but I think we will be leaving earlier (or not at all). I just hope, if they are going to cancel the flight, they cancel it before I drop her off. Poor mom refuses to own a cell phone. What a mess it will be trying to get back there and find her. I also pray she'll be safe. I think it is better south of us, so all should be well.

ok, all dmv wanted was my money, take a new pic and take an eye exam. Haven't taken a written test in years!

How does a car end up on its nose? Don't like cold weather and you couldn't pay me enough to live where itsnows.

We broke a record, only .01 inches of rain for January. It's going to be brutal here if we don't get some soon. They already closed some ski resorts.

The way its going we probably will see a record snowfall here. The blizzard we had two years ago, one town had 40 inches! Hope its not going to be that much!!!!!!

For all the ladies waiting on the storm, I hope you can hunker down, stay warm, and pay someone to shovel the snow away! I'm west of Cleveland and the Lake is frozen here, and we have very little snow. We have been very lucky this year. Stay warm, be safe, and I hope it isn't as bad as they say!!
