how about drinking?

Cyndielou

Hello :

I sure hope it is a rumor..but I think it may be more than that.  The buyer has been by here a few times and has hung out with my next door neighbor and Willie Nelson so the info comes from a somewhat reliable source. Speaking of Willie...I found Mr. Nelson sitting on my stair landing this afternoon when I went out for  a bike ride.  He is now resting comfortably in my bedroom.  Kat..I did look up FL Tenant/Landlord laws and they cant raise it as long as I have a lease ..unless the lease states the rent could change..which it doesnt..but once August/Sept roll around they can change it to whatever the hell they want to raise it to.  I have my eyes out for something that will make me happy..Something on the Island is the only thing I will consider. 

I had a heated discussion  with certain grown men who live here about what is expected from them . I have allowed them to slack and become sloths and have been challenging my patience to a point of not only being lazy dirty asses but disrespectful asses as well. This will change IMMEDIATELY!!! Or they will be having a discussion with me from the other side of the door. 

Dorty...glad the kids finally dove in..now to get rid of the other ones. Glad you got to go home early..yippee for getting paid for it to boot..WTG!  Hope you arrived safeleyist and soundliest.  I was happy to hear that your dad is doing well where he is and isnt upset.  You must be so relieved.  Now , how is your mom?  

Kat, did you get your treadmill yet? If not , when will it arrive? How is Glenn and how are you and your back? DD?? You knitted a hat?  I want to see....I went thru a stage of knitting but I can only make scarves and bags..like purses but they are tackey.  Arent hats hard? you have to use those needles that are together..right?? I mean a needle at both ends?? I would love to crochet..I may look that up online.  So on the TV front...what did you think of AHS and the finale?  I heard that next years AHS is going to be called "Circus"..sounds good..can do a lot with that subject..evil clowns ..hehe...I also saw a commercial last night for Bates Motel..it starts in March.  

I miss Lori too Cammi....will take pics Wednesday.

OT offered again today and tomorree..didnt pick any up today and wont unless the corner me late tonight to stay an hour..picked up 2 hours tomorrow..bleh..

Red..you will love visiting Bernie..she is an amazing cook and so incredibly sweet..and so is DH and Sineade..I love that you are able to travel so much...I caught the bug lonnnnng ago...I wish I could do more of it.  

Latah ladies

I'm back. My DD1 was real sick this ayem, so right after I posted here, she called and needed me to take my g'son to his class thats far away. Poor dear. She did make it to her rads appt, hope she did ok with that. Can't taste anything at all, makes it hard to want to eat.

Cyn, yes I was skeered to try the circular needles, and didn't know they come in diff sizes. SO the only one I found in the needle size I needed was waaaaay too long----29" instead of maybe 12-16" long. So it got real stretched out and was very difficult because of that. I went to Michael's and 2 Wally Worlds and can't find anything shorter. I found youtube videos esp one by one lady, that were really good. If I can find the right length circular needle, I will work on doing it better. And she 'splained real well how to cast on, etc. I need to practice, as now my 9 yo g'dau wants to learn. Maybe I can try to just make a straight scarf for her Hitty doll. Oh, she told me there is a group that knits accessories for their dolls, called the "Hitter Knitters" or sumtin like dat! When I was looking for needles, this nice older lady started talking to me, and invited me to their church to knit with them every week! Good thing I have an excuse of not having time to do that, as I have toooooo much to do. Glad you are standing your ground with the boys. HOPE they listen this time. Cracked up over next time you will be talking to them from the OTHER side of the door! Just hope you are the one INSIDE. Yes, I saw the finale of Coven. Liked it! Didn't know next one is Circus. Is that in the fall? Also didn't know about Bates motel coming back on. I forgot now what the last episode was about!

Guess I need to get more stuff done around here, looks like things are going to be bizzy for a long time. Got a letter from renter thanking us for doing so much and taking care of things so quickly...got it today...then just now she called twice and apparently the sewer line is backed up. Sheesh............

Beansie, why delete your post??? Not fair, c'mon back and repost, ok???

Cyndielou

I think the AHS season 4 Circus is rumored and not confirmed..but I did see the Bates Motel commercial..Jodi's bf is the one who mentioned circus..I think its a great idea and I read that it could have something to do with Nazi Germany , also a good idea. 

Kat..your poor DD...so much to deal with.

Yeah..Beasie..come back

Darling D, I think the drug you mean is Risperdal also comes under the name Risperdone.  I took this for two years after my last breakdown.  It is a powerful Antipsychotic drug that balances the chemicals in the brain and yes it can have serious side effects.  More so in the elderly.  However, in my case the benefits far outweighed the risks.  The only side effect for me was weight gain - more like being bloated.

I am sure your dad will be closely monitored and his life will be a lot easy if he is not having all those strange thoughts. xxx

Hi Everyone just peed, Like u need to know that. Yes u do.

Dork when u'r dad leaves the hospital does he come back to u'r home or what is the deal.?

Oh I'm sure Bernie is right Resperol is a drug for breathing difficulties. Resperidol is what Bernie said, the only maybe problem with that drug is u'r dad's age, for some reason the elderly seem to react differently when on it for a while, I'm sure it doesn't happen to everybody but it's a very confusing med for the elderly to stay on. They might just do it for a while to get him together. Don't be afraid of it, I'm not trying to scare u either, I just know on younger people it can be very useful usually. Drs. know this so I'm sure he'll be monitored regularly. My dad was on it, but after a day we spent at the races and my sister and I won a fortune, we realized we had to tell the Dr. cuz we never left his room, but we all had such a good time laughing and betting, then she called the Dr.In all fairness that drug had my dad going all over with us and we all had a good time till the races then we thought my sister should call. Prpbably cuz we didn't have any money that we won. My dad hallucinations were always so nice and fun it was almost a shame to take them away. And if u closed u'r eyes u were in some magical place with him, but we knew after a while maybe we should stop it and I knew that was the drug that was doing it so....

Bernie I'm sorry u had to be on that drug u must have had a very difficult time. U've been thru a lot. U'r so sweet.

Good morning,
Loungettes!Temp dropped overnight,
everything is sparkling with a coating of frost this morning, absolutely
beautiful!

Cammy--no such thing
as a slow day at work right now, yesterday was a typical Monday, crazy,
crazy!But I got through it.Another busy day on tap for today, but such
is life, right? More snow coming here tomorrow, too.Like you say, same old, same old, rinse and
repeat.

BBBBBernie--why a
new hat?A fancy hat or a functional
hat?

DorKable--Good thing
you get paid for the day, otherwise it wouldn't have been worth while to get up
and go in!Hope you got home
safely.I'm not too jealous of Sadie
getting to go back to bed, most days.SetfgedThat was Sadie saying
"hi" right there.

Wahine--OK, I'll let
you off the hook for that med name for this morning.But next time you go downstairs, OK?Do you know what the rental is for other
places in your area?Can you go without
a lease, make it easier for her to move on in the next few months?Not sure about the details of all that stuff,
not sure what's a good idea.Glad you
are losing weight, I'm still reading about that diet and thinking about
it.Eating often is a challenge for me
with my work, but I probably could work out something.The no drinking thing is a concern, says the
woman who hasn't had a drink since coming home from vacay 'cause she hasn't
thought of making one at home since then!I think it's the idea that I can't that makes me want something
more.

CynCyn--Good for you
for having a talk with the male adults you share space with.May then smarten up, and quickly!

Wahine--Praying for
DD1, can't imagine trying to have rads while throwing up.

Red RH--sounds like
2/3 of a great trip planned, or will you go on 3 trips?

Aly--knittin' and
rinkin', sounds like a good combo for funny stuff!

DorKable--what's the
plan after your dad gets discharged?Will he be coming home with you or going to a place with more help?Risperdal is a potent drug, not frequently
used with the older set but it is used at times and can be very, very
effective.The side effect profile is
scary, but remember that most people do not have those side effects.You Dad is doing better on it, I say go for
it.We use it in hospice care at times,
when the lighter drugs don't work or when the behavior is dangerous, like your
Dad's behavior was.If your Dad keeps
driving off and/or threatening/abusing your Mom he'll end up in jail, that
would be worse than some side effects that can generally be managed.

BBBBbernie--good
info for DorKy!

CynCyn--Hooray for
your and Dorky getting together!Pics,
must take pics!

Party at Cyn's.  So wish we all lived closer to each other.

I'm a naughty girl - owe people emails - will catch up I promise.

I love hats. Formal, informal, lampshades.

Bloody freezing here, another massive storm front coming in this evening and then another forecast for the weekend. 

Main gates to the field came down in the storm last night - goats have now taken over the garden,

Sis is being nice, apologised for being grumpy - now why does that worry me. LOL.

Thursday is the official DUE DAY for the aliens appearance.  I have had a cleaning frenzy so can't be long now then.

Good Morning!

Oh wow, Bernie, make sure you don't get blown away....that is some heavy wind! Be careful, ok? Will the goats be ok out of the fence?

SO many meet-up....awesome!!!!!    Lori and Cyn and Julie's meetup is almost here, then Dorkie and Cyn and Julie, then Alyson and Red, then Red and Bernie....sooo cool! I am stuck here for awhile, so can't go anywhere (except quick trip to Dallas) till my DD1 is okay. But you all partay for me, ok??? Dwink lots and lots and lots!!!1

Yeah Bernie, I wouldn't trust the sis when she is acting nice...hmmmmm....whats up with her? Hope the alien appears soon and that Sinead has a very easy labor and delivery, and the alien is just fine! Let us know when you can....the alien has a ton of Aunties here!

NM, Oops, been upstairs and downstairs a lot, and forgot to look up that drug.

Alyson, I tried to knit a small scarf for DD1's Hitty doll, but it didn't work. Tried to do about a 1" to 1.5" w and about 6-8" long, and all it did was curl over!!! Maybe I can learn a simple crochet and do it that way? Would it lie flat better if I do crochet? Or would it help if I have a dwink or two or ten first?? lol

Oh Cami peed, YIPPIE!!!! lol, youse so silly. Jest love reading your posts though! Bet its still wicked hard with so many phone calls with this nasty weather. Hang in there girl, you are really doing well, AND you are getting a paycheck....yippppeeeeeeee!

Yummy dwink NM.....love the name of it too!!!

Chrissy dear, how is your weather there? Do you have any travels coming up?

Alyson, the Bachelor will be in New Zealand next week...well of course they filmed months ago, but it will be aired here next week. So many places we didn't get to see....like the Fjords, Alps, and that boat ride through there, since the weather had turned so we weren't allowed to go in there. I can't wait to see what they show on tv. I loved it when they were in Madeira last season, as I could recognize so many places we love. Sure want to get back to NZ someday!

BIG hugs to all,

Kath

Kathy we are heading into another blast from hell starting tomorrow but lasting only till probably Sunday when it is forecast for another cooler change.  I'm heading to the city again on Thursday as I have my follow up ENT appointment.  When that is done I get to go meet my newest grand fur baby!!  DD who got married in Sept has got a now nine week old  Belgian Shepherd puppy and by the pics she has sent me, she is gorgeous!  Her name is raven because she is pitch black and will as an adult, weigh 25 - 30kg......she is one very big girl.

I'm planning a road trip (1100kms) over to Canberra at the end of the month to visit my youngest brother and father to the munchkin in my avatar for his birthday.  I will be taking my elder brothers widow with me for company........we are great mates so should be a fun trip.

Our Aussie threads get together is to be held in Auckland this year so I have lots of saving up to do.......lol........but the bonus will be that I get to spend some good face time with Aly .......woohooo!!!!!  The only problem is, I have to wait until the end of November!!!!

Cyn I wish I could just a flight and meet up with all you gals as well.........I so want to come back to the USA!

Tanks Dork for the Jell-O shot ize  did opn mees mouf real wide an it jest falled right in!!!
