    Thanks 2TA. I've been worried about her. Like I said I snooped and she's not even playing word games. Tell her we love her over here.

    Rosie I understand is probably busy, busy. Sassy, you and Spookie able to get together with her?

    Smarty- I think the tats look good. Filing through insurance is a great idea. You do what makes you feel good.

    I wash before wearing. Some of the sizing they put in new stuff is uncomfortable. I love to thrift and usually, but not always, wash. Depends on what it is.

    Smaarty, I like the nipples. Are they the Amoena brand? What size & color did you get. Keep us updated on how you like them.

    Rose flew into Sarasota. That's about 2 hours south of me, and more for Sas. We couldn't do it, and I'm not sure Rose wanted to. She wanted all time with her mom. That's understandable.

    spookie- crimney... biblical rains this morning!! Side ways coming down in BUCKETS- POOLS- OCEANS! It's been cloudy and rainy since I got here which keeps the heat down. My Mom has gone further downhill.. really sad. It's like we are both going out but in different ways. My brother took me on a drive to St Arman's (sp?) got wonderful ice cream drove around saw egrets, osprey, turtles, beaches and some huge lovely Sand Hill cranes on the way. Beautiful creatures. I have been taking lots of lasix which was helping. Yesterday my brother made a delicious shrimp scampy and crab cakes and we all ate together brothers, Mom and I like when we were kids only now we are all in our 50s and she 76- very nice. I guess today I am paying the price, extra bloated and kind of nauseous.. maybe too rich too much salt? Tasted so fantastic... ugh. Oh well.

    Love that neat quilt. Nice new avatar Sas. Happy birthday and Happy anniversary to anyone I missed. Hi Patty! I can't hear for beans on the phone so usually avoid it.. Hugs to all. Be well.

    Rose, Your dinner sounds lovely. The drive to St Armand's sounds like some great memories were created there. I am so glad you have made it out and are visiting your mom. Thanks so much for letting us know how you are doing.

    Have fun creating more memories in the next few days.

    Hugs!

    hi Rose, me too ! I cannot hear on the phones, I get agitated trying to listen to the caller mumble, talk to fast, not speak into the phone... It's them , NOT me....lol.... I just hate the phone. I feel like a rude, cold, human being, but I cringe when it rings.

    Sounds like a good trip. Great food, wildlife & quality time with your family..

    Just went & saw Trainwreck.....raunchy, inappropriate & fun. Popcorn overload. Hope all is well with everyone.

    2nd timer.......HELLO.....

    Hahahahaha Rose

    Yes, it's just a tad bit soggy around here!! Glad the trip is going well, St Armand Key is supposed to be beautiful. I've not seen it. Big bucks there.

    Have a good flight home, and TAKE THIS DAMN RAIN WITH YOU.

    Spookie, I just read the comfort dog thread. Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Loopy

  • Rose enjoy everything and yes please bring the rain home ! Hugs!

  • One of these days I hope to catch up with all you chatty ladies and tell you what's been happening.... Hoping it's before you reach 1000 pages.

    I don't think Patty would mind me saying she's trying to get as much time as she can with DS's before they have to return to school.

    Hoping you're all keeping cool in this hot weather. It's been very humid here lately for SoCal.

    Yes Rose, please take the rain home!! We need West Florida dry this weekend for the wedding. So glad to hear you made it there and doing the best you can to enjoy the time together with your mom and brothers.

    Rose- glad to hear you are having good time with family. The food sounds delicous. I am sorry to hear about your mom's decline. I am glad you are able to spend time together. Creating some memories here as someone said. I hope the rest of your trip is just as lovely. Get some rest.

    RosiePosie - thanks for checking in. So glad you're getting to spend time with your brothers and your mother. Ahh does Oregon need this rain as well?

    Rain, rain go away and leave Florida alone. Send it to TX and CA. We're starting to get burn bans after flooding the month of June.

    Yay that Patty's getting time with her boys. Sounds perfect for them.

    Welcome to all who have arrived on our fun and crazee thread.

    I came over to check on Rose. I'm a lurker from stIV. See other friends here too. This must be the happening place. Sorry I didn't come sooner.

    I drank this every day during chemo. Taste buds came and went. No metallic taste though. Sleepy time tea is also good cold or hot.

    Peel and slice 1/2" of fresh ginger. Bring to a boil. Let steep 10 min. Strain out ginger. Add enough water for quart or two of "tea". Can also add a green tea bag and sweeten as desired.

    I couldn't and still can't stand artificial sweeteners.

    Another great drink is horchata or rice water. You let rice soak overnight then put it in a blender with lots of water and a touch of cinnamon. Sorry I don't have specifics as I've never successfully made it but it sure tastes good on a hot day.

    Good luck!

    Sassy and all: have been lurking for a long time, like this thread. It indeed is a nice neighborhood! That day the wind was right, so landed in. Will return when not busy with making a living! Glad to hear news from Rosie, enjoy your family time. Eeyore is not in FL, black clouds leave FL soon!

    Zills & Eeyore07, (sorry I said you were possibly a prank.)Tell us about yourself when you have time.

    Rose, Bring enough rain back for WA to get some too. We've got a huge one that has closed the Pacific Crest Trail and numerous grass fires that must be put out before they spread. One took out 7 houses in the next county south.

    Enjoy the family. I'm happy you were able to make this trip.

    Ah, it is sooooo good to see you again Rose! Sorry you are paying for enjoying some food, but I'm glad to learn that lasix helps your discomfort a bit. You know I hope you have good times all the way through.

    Thank you so much Zill! I was chewing on ginger last night and it tasted nice. I like the sound of the rice water. I have always not been too fond of milk. I had a glass of milk tonight and it tasted so good. Go figure.

    Ok Dune, I can't hold it in any longer. When I first saw your avatar, I thought you had on a plate armor. I was thinking hmm...that armor got to be so uncomfortable for her to tilt her head sideway to get in the picture....who in the world wears an armor now a day unless it's halloween or it's for a costume party? After examining the avatar close-up, I realized it's some sort of padding/ clothe for your bird to stand on. That's my confession for the day

    Ok, looks like I lost my original post so here I go again. You ladies have been busy as I've been away from the thread for less than a week and I'm over 12 pages behind. I'm only half way through playing catch up.

    (((HUGS))) to those who are having a bad time of things. Wish there was a magic wand we could wave to make things better for you. My heart aches for you.

    Happy Belated Birthday to Sas and Chevy.

    Enjoying our visit with our grandson. Went to the beach for a couple of days with him and DS. Grandpa and I took him to see Minions. Have a Nationals baseball game planned for later in the week. Glad DH took off this week as I have an appointment with the orthopedist and some PT for a frozen shoulder. I see them going to the water park and swimming. Should be interesting when he does his homework as neither DH or I read Japanese so we will be clueless when we check his work. (They go to school year round.)

    Ok, I'm off to finish catching up with you gals.
