INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

Blessings, glad to hear DH's first infusion went well. Sorry to hear about the congestion. Saying prayers this plan of treatment does it thing for DH. ((((HUGS))))

Thank you, Ms. CHEVY.

Mommy, ouch!!

Blessings, oh, so it was your husband who had the treatment this past Friday. I thought someone was having the infusion or some sort of treatment last week, but could not remember. Hoping for similar good outcome with the next three treatments.

Cubbie, I keep Mitzy off of the grass most of the time. When I take her for walks, she stays exclusively on the pavement. Don't like to clean mud off of her paws. I know, I know I am anal

Loveroflife - Have you ever heard of Dr. Karen Becker? She is a holistic integrative medicine veterinarian in Chicago that posts articles @ healthypets.mercola.com

She has many articles dealing with skin issues of dogs. One I have saved is about how using Manuka Honey (a fresh raw honey, totally unprocessed) can heal skin

infections and open wounds on animals & humans. Maybe you'll be able to find some help there.

Lover you got me wondering. Wikipedia offers 2 theories:

Its common name is popularly thought to derive from the crest of long quill-like feathers lending the bird the appearance of a secretary with quill pens tucked behind their ear.

A more recent hypothesis is that "secretary" is a French corruption of the Arabic saqr-et-tair or "hunter-bird"

Good for you Mom2~ I remember the WORST ear-aches when I was little! I had an infection one time, that I didn't know about, until I woke up one morning and my ear was bleeding... I had a perforated ear-drum.... I remember sitting on my porch, holding a hot-water bottle on my ear.... so much pain!

THAT and a dry-socket are the worst!

It's a small world (after all) and to think it was all started by a mouse

kathy - so did dd bf ask your dh for her hand in marriage last night ? Ohh so excited. We need details.

Spookie. 81°. So jealous

Blessings. I don't use Pinterest but will have to get on and check it out. We really do need to look into the freezer bag sealing contraption.

Smarty. Love your beautiful smile while holding previous Evie. How's your mom ?

Loverly. - well I am glad you survived wild card rides and are here with us today.

Spookie. Lol. Boys and toys. Sounds like you liked them also.

Chevy. - 12' of snow oh my !!!! Pretty pics to LOOK at but you can keep the snow. Yes my dh is awesome. I should have mentioned he didn't do it completely alone. There was a long caravan of friends going. So several men jumped right in to help entertain them and buy them tiny trinkets at each stop ( kept dh busy keeping up with all their toys )_ also they kept dss loaded up on sodas and junk food ( dh said major sugar rush ,,) so maybe e would have been better off without man friends help. They didn't do diaper changing. Lol. What did your dd think when you pulled up to her school in tat car with the hood flying off: embarrassed or impressed ?

My neighbor just texted me and said her cuz lives 2 roads over and there is s man outside shooting up the neighborhood. Oh my ! Very very rarely do we have crime like that. So I got my gun ready. I usually always have it within handreach within a couple steps, unless dh is home then its up to him to protect us. My neighbor is dying because her liver is failing. She took tx for hepatitis and I guess it killed her liver. Her cheating live in bofriend gave itt her and then split. She only has 1 son whom she is estranged from. She also has a sis that lives on our road but she isn't much help. I feel so sorry for her. And I thought I had it hard . she also had to file bankruptcy since she can't work and waiting on ss to start. They are coming to repo her mobile home so she bought a small camper and put it on her land. She is gonna have to live there. So sad. I've known her along time and she has been a very hard worker only to end like this: broke and alone. Boo.

Bbl. Hootie hoo

Chevy good thing you didn't have a gun handy

Sorry about your neighbour Patty, she sounds like she must have incredible reserves of perseverence and fortitude to continue to make plans and rearrange her living accomodation.

Patty, just got back from dinner. Indeed, DD1 BF asked for her hand in marriage. He was sooo nervous. We both gave him our blessings. I told him it would be a honor to have him as part of the family. He showed us the ring. It's lovely. Has made plans to take her to Napa Valley for Valentine's and pop the question. He has already talked to. DD2 and with DS on FaceTime. I like the idea that he has gone about this the old fashioned way. We met him a little over a year ago and I knew he was a keeper then. (Had the same feeling when I met DS future wife.). Now the fun begins!

Smarty, glad to hear you mom is doing better. Saying a prayer she doesn't over do it. Evie is such a cutie pie. Hard to imagine she is a premie.

Kath.... Congratulations! Sounds like a super-nice guy! Morning Smarty & Feline....

Loverly...No, I am scared to death of guns... didn't used to be, but I am now..........We read and hear so much of what is going on with the violence everywhere, and I think when you get older.... it troubles you a lot more!

I was thinking last night.... while laying in bed, and wishing SOMEthing didn't hurt.... that wouldn't it be nice if we could just go to "System Restore" or even Defragment our whole bodies? We could pick a place, like maybe 20 years ago, or in my case, maybe 40 and go back to where everything was perfect...... and POOF! We would look the same as we DID, feel a lot better.... have no problems, or if we did, we would KNOW how to fix them better and faster!

Smarty- Evie has such a beautiful head of black hair. She looks SO healthy!

Thank you ladies. It was cute how BF got flustered in telling us. He commented that he had it all planned out but it didn't come out as planned. He said he hoped it would go better on the proposal. I told him just to have the ring with him and when it felt right to pop the question.

Chevy, I like your idea but not so much about the Kardashians. All the females look fake. But the thought of a do over is intriguing.

Sas - Violet is absolutely beautiful.

Kath, I found a great wedding cake for DD. What do you think? Yes, it's a cake.

System reset? Yes, if I could go back to this body...
