    Ogd, the gal in the blue dress has the leg cross. I would likely fall over. Definitely if I had to have heels on. Jazz we should send him a letter.

     they're's so much name calling. Jackass chit I can't write stuff without forklifting autocorrect trying to make it the computer way. Who loads these computer libraries?

    Is anyone having surgery to get rid of a tumor? Call me i can fix youUp.

    Sassy- the girl in the blue dress is his daughter, Tiffany, with Marla Maples, which was wife #2 maybe? I saw a crockumentary on the Trump kids awhile back (maybe on HBO) and that all the of the NY kids are very mainstream with each other, work for their dads business for those old enough, etc. NYC kids are the ones with Invana and the current wife with the younger son. I guess after Maples divorced him, she moved to the west coast and Tiffany was raised there as a typical southern CA kid. I remember Tiffany being interviewed for the film and saying she was nothing like her siblings and not really accepted much by them either. Seems like the rebel in the group, and I like that!

    Everything you wanted to know about the Trumps but were afraid to ask!

    Sassy what on earth are you babbling about? What did that jiberish mean? Or are you talking about Chevy's Rosie from Vietnam? I am easily confused these days. Maybe I should be RoseV... to separate Chevy's Rosie... anything but RV since I am not a fan... I know they are popular but I have been mowed down the Mountain by crazed RV drivers nearly moving into your back seat. They scare me, road bullies. Watched more than one lose control and fall apart like a barbie doll house.. I really don't think they are made very well.

    That was more then I needed to know about Donald.. I am kind of enjoying the drama it's so funny on TV. Does he really think he will be president of this country? You can not talk like he does to World Leaders because things get mauled in translation and there could be blood shed on loose words. Personally we think the contest will be Hillary and Jeb.. we had this discussion at the table recently with college DD2. But the voters have not spoken and it's anyones game right now. That's what is terrific about America.. a vote actually counts!

    Love the name Fainting Goats for a little coffee, pastry and ice cream shop! Loverly.. I just want the whole thing over. ugh...

    I can't read anymore! Going to bed. I'm 7 pages behind! Patty, hope when I get to the end (no such thing) you are home.

    Yes, sassy, send it.

    Night! Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    Pate, liver & oysters...... Yuk ! I am a admitted, picky eater. Love Brussels sprouts, mushrooms, broccoli, all lettuces...

    BACON is my favorite bad food, avocados are my fav "good" food...BLT with avacado.....Yum..

    Rose, glad to see YA here. I wanted to thank-you for your kind words, about 10-12 pages back....lol...

    Patty, love YA girl !

    Susan, Tang, Dutchie, Paws, 2nd......waving HELLO.....also Envera...

    Feeling kinda blue..... We lost Blue Bird last year, about this time. I think about her, she was smart & witty.

    Loverly.....I'm here! I worked a very busy 14 hour day yesterday and then my 8 hour shift today. The natives get restless when the temperature goes up. And you can have my oysters and any other bivalve mollusc you can name except scallops but those can't be anywhere near a shell. Like most of my stories from my college days, there's alcohol involved but all I'm going to say is that ice cold shots of vodka and seafood pad thai are NOT a winning combo!

    Weighing in on the nutrition convo (pun intended), I will be the first to admit that I'm a starch addict which the celiac disease diagnosis has really helped cure. Even so, I have always eaten a lot of greens and fruit. I love the big tubs of organic spring mix. Breakfast is usually an organic Greek yogurt and a banana. I also used to have a cereal and milk addiction for which I probably should have gone to rehab or had an intervention. Thank Chevy's Dog that Cap'n Cruch with Crunchberries is made with corn and oats but that's usually my dessert and other than the sugar, it's pretty low in fat so not that bad on the scale of desserts.

    Patty!!! Welcome home. Sorry about the back. I sympathize--my laying around after my chemo rounds has been doing the same to me.

    Rose--hope you get some relief tomorrow and the Ibrance does work.

    Hole--I'm with you on the pâté and liver. Ewww. And sweetbreads and any other organ meat. I'll eat broccoli but it's not my fave--probably because I ate so much of it growing up. Come to think of it, I still mostly eat it when I go to my parents for dinner.

    Queenie--I'm always wondering how much dog hair I've ingested. I probably have a hair ball accumulating in my small intestine.

    Sas--I've always wondered why Donald, with all his $$$$, doesn't just get implants and get rid of that ridiculous 'do.

    Goats--my dad likes iceberg but my mom mixes in spring mix and just cuts it all up into small pieces. She used to use spinach but he was diagnosed with hemochromatosis so she stopped doing that. She's always inundating the poor guy with whatever new health discovery comes along. Oat bran was the worst--muffins, bread, cereal, granola, oatmeal and just the straight bran on cottage cheese.

    Woke up sore from all my activity yesterday. Good thing that I only have the cleaning the kitchen floor planned for today or I'd be in serious trouble.

    Almost peed my pants reading that!

    Actually, I don't like to "delete" any post, so all I do is click "edit" and take away anything I don't like...! And then just start over with something maybe even more understandable... in it's place..... or not.

    Otherwise people will think "Oh WHAT did she say wrong THIS time! Ha!

    I LOVE Lamb's Quarter greens! I grew them once, because my Grandpa gave me seeds, and have forgotten about them, until you guys get on this thing about greens! It's like Spinach, only tastes better.

    ALSO, get you some Kale, then cook it up with a little chopped fried sweet Italian sausage, onions, potatoes, garlic and Italian Parsley! Then thicken it with Bisquick & milk, and it's just like the soup at the Olive Garden. I eat it for about 3 days or more... even for breakfast!

    That Donald is just a dink. I know we are all entitled to our own opinions, but this guy's mouth is so full of his foots, that you just have to laugh. I just watch him for the entertainment value.

    Peppermint! You sprang yourself! Good JOB! Now let's see how long THIS lasts! Those hospitals better have nice looking fireman type interns, or I ain't going. I just hope you stay feeling better.

    Queenie!!!!!!!! "Cat spit?" Haaaaaaaaaaaaahahaaaaaaaah! That's a good one! Just get our cat his own glass.

    Oh Rosie! You brought into the conflaburation something about Sass and her ability to confuse the hell out of us with her foreign language multitudes. See? I can do it too. I didn't even want to mention some of those words that fly off Sass's fingers.... I just pretend I understand....

    Morning HiHo.... I know...... everytime I go out in my garden, I "see" bluebird... I glued her on my blue bird-bath....

    image

    MARLA! YAY!!!!!!!!!!! Now drink it! You will see! It is just so GOOD for everything inside you!

    No, little miss Sparkle Plenty wouldn't know what to do with it if she had it. She throws these "seeds" out, then looks at them again 3 years later, and thinks it's beautiful. I will take pictures of this mess when I get my 1/2 done... I've never done such hard grueling work in my LIFE!

    She is probably sitting over there with her beach hat on, barefoot, and reading Better Homes and Gardens. With a proper iced-tea at her side.

    MoMom... take it easy today.... Man, my hands are sore too, and my back, and my fingers have little cuts on them.... along with those bruises on my arms... It's getting light out... so gotta get my "stuff" and do some more work on the mess from hell.

    Marla: I'm in the 'no bivalves except scallops' group too. I've been referring to that whole group as nastyslimyrubberybivalves for years now--I have texture issues like whoa--and all sorts of teasing from my family about that. But vodka shots plus just about any food plus being in college would have given me the heebie jeebies about the bleep things even had I NOT had a preexisting aversion.

    Chevy: our cats have had their own glasses for years. Not that we spoil our pets or anything. We just have to remember to NOT put our own glass of water next to theirs, because everything belongs to the cats. Cat #1 (he who provided my username) had a sweet tooth, so we had to be careful not to leave glazed doughnuts, lemon drops or raisin bran where he could reach them. And he was a BIG athletic boy.

    "Rosie's back and she's gonna get a hUg dow dowa and your daddy's home or something." YES, Rosie that was for you. YES, it's jibberish. I need to jibber after to much thinking. Yesterday was a too much thinking day. Way too hard on this delicate brain.

    IN YOUR POCKET FOR THE TAP. YAY FOR GETTING THE IBRANCE TOO.

    Jazzy, thanks on the trump update(I think) I'm sure that cross leg thingy has been around for decades, but I never saw it till this year---or never paid attention. Somehow OK (trash magazine started coming to my house. Tabloid thing. Kind of funny, I put it in DBF's bathroom. I keep Money magazine in mine.  

    Okay Smarrty, a new home YAY. I'll work on it.

    HI1, I almost killed myself one time, I ate broccoli & cabbage& one other cruciferous. I thought my belly was going to explode. I was just thinking about Bluebird yesterday to and thought of you. Do you still have Steve's address? Do you remember the kids names? Chloe? PM if you have the address. I inadvertently deleted her email. It was bluebirdfarm(s?)_____.

    We need to do a PM shower for Enerva too. She popped in again on W&F's , but didn't stop here. That's twice now. That just won't do.

    Marley oh honey,  too much work. All this healthy eating talk...hmmm.....I did do something inadvertently. I rinsed the strawberries when I got home from the store. Forgot them in the drainer overnight. omd, are they as sweet as anything this morning, bursting with flavor. It was like they were saying thank you for the water. If you had a hairball accumulating, it would be in the stomach. Then when they get big enough they are called a bezoar. I've seen two, both had to be surgically removed. Rare. Trumps worth billions---you're right. What is that?

    Chevy, What's this " get you some Kale". Get you?  What dialect is that?" full of his foots"? Have you been nipping?

    Mamma with you on that, feel better babe.

    SPOOKIE (waving)

    I can barely tolerate shrimp. And it had better be covered in buffalo sauce, or it's not going down my throat. I've always said that stuff tastes like low tide smells. Nasty. My dad liked to fish, and go frog gigging. Would say the chit tastes like chicken. No, chicken tastes like chicken. Not real fond of that either.

    Won't do kale either. Slimey chit. Can't now Woopee! messes with my Coumadin. Yay!!!!

    Did a new thread. Exciting stuff. I suggest you put it in your fav"s. If you are having surgery it is critically important. The topic box says what I need to say, no sense repeating it.

    https://community.breastcancer.org/forum/73/topic/833612?page=1#post_4448145

    Spookie, aren't you just a ray of sunshine.

    MammaR-------sleep can be so overwhelming. I coined a word 'sleep attack'--better get horizontal b/c I'm going out. Your question about sleeping when the kiddo is watching a show. Make it a safe room. Be in the same room. With sleep attacks TV won't bother you. A place that the kid can't get into anything and they can't get out of the room.  Quiet toys. A high slide bolt is good. Leave phone out of room.

    hi guys, all caught up. Yeah, Patty you're home! Hope you feel better soon. You too Rose, can't imagine how you feel. So sorry!

    Chevy, found aloe Vera in pill form for trip. Ended up not taking any because of possible repercussions! Can't go running off to the toilet at any time! (TMI)

    Welcome to newbies. Hi Tang, glad your back. How's your little one doing? In kindergarten now? Or 1st grade?

    Did you guys see all the reports on the weather in San Diego? Saw some of the lightening. Woke up to thunder on Friday. Remember that old song, It never rains in California, it pours! That was us. The show was fun but a lot of work. Glad it's over. Now on to Ireland! Yeah! Then to Detroit at the end of September. I'm just a traveling fool.

    Thanks Smarty :)

    She's going to start 1st grade this year :):)

    Speaking of traveling, we went to Estes Park the week of Father's Day. It was our first trip to Colorado and it was AWESOME. I now want to live there, we didn't want to come back. I get daily reminders from dh about the weather in Estes Park compared to the sickening heat here in DFW.

    popping in to say hi. Way way behind. Not even gonna try to catch up. Hope all are having fun fun fun, or the best you can :)

    Busy with mom and putting safety measures in place. Alzheimer's is tough. But that's life. It gets pretty messy.

    I am doing great....except for a prolapsed uterus right now. Oh well. Don't need it anymore anyway.lol

    Have a good one

    OK Fess Up. Who watched Sharknado 3 last night? I saw bits and pieces of it, DH I think between dozing off saw all 3. Bets on Sharknado 4?

    Tanga A Rooney - right back atcha girl. I keep up in batches. I think I still have 10 pages in a bookmark I need to read. Mommy talks about things I know nothing about and it must be in those 10 pages. I think the temps going to hit 100 today. It looks devastating hot out there. No clouds

    Mommy - you put me to shame. You've done more housework in 2 days than I've done in 2 weeks. I have a large area of ceramic tile, the den, and a very small area of Pergo, the kitchen. I've been thinking of getting a steam mop for the ceramic. It is 18 years old and though dark with dark grout it's getting progressively grimier looking. I only really mop good where the dog is. The rest of the house is carpet. When I win the lottery (notice the positiveness haha) I will get this carpet replaced. Ug I hate it - DH's choice and it's way too light. Want my commercial carpet back that I had in old house.

    Loverly - ?JO, Junior Officers, Jugglers Offline, Juicers Only. It sounds exciting for her, maybe not so much for you. Prayers for your friend. And prayers for you accompanying her.

    OK Sassy those darn black box warnings. Several days a week I get up and 1st thing take 3 Advil, no more during the day and nothing else. Hand cramps, index finger acting up, just achy. Took a self imposed 2 week break from Femara, ends this weekend. Not one difference this time. I did this in December and felt quite a bit better. (will confess I detest summer). Questioned at MO's office about pain and this is what I said "not anything he's interested in treating". PCP says stop the Femara, MO says 7 more years. What's a girl gonna do? Oh yes MO did do tumor markers. Of course no message from him on anything. Nothing that I see abnormal, calcium on low side. Surprise, no not with the low D3. More yogurt. Oh and I have 2 bottles of Kefir. Never tried it but thought why not. I bought the dry cultures to make my own.

    Chevy - Ship me some eggs pronto. I have hoarded part of an 18 count carton. Have to make something for pool party (can you say thank goodness for AC and misters outside). Making a chiles rellenos casserole, think it will take the remainder of my eggs. Oddly enough though Sprouts (those of you in CA and SW have these) have dozen cage free eggs for $2.50. I think even WallyWorlds are more than that lol. I know local grocer is for sure.

    Howdy Susan. Getting that unneeded part removed or tolerating it?

    Well I still haven't caught up but if I don't write this now I will have forgotten it!

    Drove straight through to the casino Sunday afternoon, almost exactly 3 hours. My friend's group had just arrived, so we got settled in our room and hit the slots. We just played penny slots, hopped from one to another, couldn't believe all the different kinds! Ate some dinner then went to our room and played on laptops for a while. Monday I ended up having to take a nap, but then we went down and hit the slots again, lost & won & lost & won – I finished losing what DH had allotted me, but then my friend was down to her last $5 so was going to cash it in but on the way to the cashier she was sidetracked by a Wheel of Fortune slot and won $200! So she went and cashed it in and split it with me! So we ended up playing until after midnight then had to go up and pack. They had to have their bags ready at 7:30 in the morning so we were up at 6 and I got some coffee and left around 7:30. Could not keep my eyes open. Stopped halfway and slept for half an hour in the parking lot of a Walgreen's. Made it home, climbed into bed and slept for most of 2 days.

    I managed to do it, and I enjoyed it, but I wouldn't do it again, because the recovery is the pits. I've developed a tremor in my left hand that is so bad I can't even hold my phone still to type on it. And sometimes my whole body shivers like it's cold, but it's not. Just trembles all over. What is this fresh new hell?

    I will finish catching up later.
