    Oh, I know what you mean by the perfume. I have mild asthma. If it is too strong or there is an over abundance of smells it just takes my breath away. Nothing worse than someone whose scent announces them. I want to run in the opposite direction.

    Clapping big round of applause!! I love the trees! Jazzy very unusual and I like it. I enjoyed them all. When I get home..hmm eventually I will get Dh to send a photo of ours. It's a lovely noble fir with blue and white lights, covered with owls, wooded birds and wooden animals. There is a faceless shaker angel in white cotton fabric on the top. I like Colonial Shaker things. Thank you for ssending them.

    Wren I have a terrible problem with perfumes! My DD1 had used a very scented hair shampoo and it nearly mde me gag. We had to wash all her clothes to get rid of a dryer sheet smell. ugh. CNA came in tonight way too much perfume.. scents really bother me too. I like the gentle scent of our tree. Hugs to all sleep well.

    My whole family came to visit. Very nice to see everybody. Although DD3 was very tearful and cried a lot. please come home. Kills me.

  • sas. Thanks

    Hootie hoo

    Jazzy, love your tree. Great idea for simplicity. Rosie and Patty hope you feel better.

    Our HMO made a rule that employees could not wear perfume or scents to work. They said many people have asthma and it didn't make sense to set off an episode.

    Good morning ladies- what beautiful and in some cases, cute and funny photos you have shared! The one of the camel and little boy in the desert I have seen before and is just one of my fav pics. How can you not laugh or at least smile at that one?

    Rose- glad you enjoyed your parade of trees and no doubt more to come. I am glad you had a good day with family, but sorry too there was some sadness for some too. You are making every day special for yourself and those around you.

    Patty- hootie hoo back to you! I hope you are feeling better after everything that went on sister.

    Hard to believe Xmas is already next week! Today is the busiest mailing day of the year!

    More snow coming, yay!

    Chevy, are you making fun of me....or pretending to compete?? Lol

    I am not fond of the holiday banter in my family so I have trees everywhere to make me smile....whatever it takes. Lol

    Good morning ladies. Gotta a lot of hair today. Gotta down some pain pills. Sometimes I wish I could quit, but it dies get me going in the morning and gets my mind off of me.

    Rosie, hope you are feeling better today......and don't look at chevy's trees, I don't think they are hers...I don't see a pole..lol

  • Chevyboy
    Chevyboy Posts: 10,258

    Oh yes they are mine! The pole is just not visible.... I take the branches off to expose the pole....It's easier to climb the pole that way.... Yes, I am always pretending! You have to pretend to stay 1/2 way happy sometimes.

    And what are you doing Susan? What do you mean you got a lot of hair today? Do you not have a lot some days? Am I reading this right? And no.... don't quit.... Can't quit until we say so.............

    Same with you Rosie! Damn! Is there anything we can do to help you? I mean I could call the Fire Department guys to come check on you.....

    (and I would post a notsoappropriate picture of them, but I can't pull up Google Images) Later.... Next time!

    yes sometimes I am bald and sometimes I have a lot of hair. Or sometimes I have to do people's hair...u

    You know how needy people can get...especially around the holidays....everyone has to be pretty within those two weeks.....like we don't know how you usually walk around. Blahhhhhh

    Besides mailing a package out, that's all I have left to do...hair until the 23rd....got some still trying to get in. Only have energy for so many. Who knows what they will look like if I am tired and still do their hair...ha...maybe that would be funny...not to them of course, but I would laug

    So I just changed my bill payments from online accounts to sending me the paper bills! Just like in the "old days"....Ha! Because if something happened to me, my Husband does not have a chance in hell of figuring out anything on a "computer!"

    I doubt if he could even turn it on.... He could rebuild a 1957 Chevy engine, changing it from an automatic to a 4 speed stick shift with a chrome blower on it.... block the heat-risers, but a computer is just way beyond anything he could work with.

    So we have reverted to paper-billing....

    NOW, they won't shut our water off, turn off our electricity, and my cell phone... bills will come in the mail....

    I wish I could find a picture of the hair-pieces we used to wear! Those big huge barrel-curls, all piled up on top of our head!

    I used to style these, and wear them!

    people still wear those Barrell curls .Now just a very messy version. Like you slept on it snd got caught in wind storm. I like it. And easier to do

  • Chevyboy
    Chevyboy Posts: 10,258

    I LOVED those hair-pieces! And at night, you just unclipped them, and put them back on the styro-foam head.... I almost went to work at a wig shop, styling the wigs and hair-pieces, but it would have been full-time, and I didn't want to be away that much.

    I did hair in my house though.... but all my friends had to have the same hair style as me.... Hah! And I would charge 1 dollar.... ! I still cut my hair... and use hot-rollers every morning.... AND tease it.... hard to break old habits.

    well, nick is out of surgery, it went well. When he was awake enough he thought how cool it is to have a stump! He's funny that way and the drugs are talking. He says he's at a 3-4, so feeling pretty good. Tomorrow will be a better idea of how this goes. He almost didn't have the surgery, his doc was waivering because of liability issues. Nick and my daughter had to sign some extra forms.

    Now it's on to healing. He won't get to try a new leg for about 7 weeks until his stump has all healed.

    Keeping my fingers crossed. This is before.

    Smarty- what a brave young man. I hope he continues to heal and adapt through all the changes. Hugs to you and your family.

    He has a strong spirit, I can see that from the photo.
