how about drinking?

I had a wonderful time yesterday visiting an old friend after she had both her hips replaced (at the same time!). We took lunch and the weather was so nice we were able to sit outdoors to eat. She lives on a “gentleman farm” out in the country so the drive was very pleasant. When we returned home, I noticed several (lots!) bees flying around one corner of the house. As we approached the front door there were even more. Once inside, there were bees inside on several windows. We called exterminators until we got one that could come right away. They could do nothing as they are honey bees looking for a home. They suggested beekeepers. We started calling that group until we found someone to come right out. This guy said he could not do anything as the bees were already in the house and we needed someone that could do a “cutout”. Am waiting on a return call from that person. I have had honeybees take up residence in my house before. Quite a thing to have them removed.
Needless to say I enjoyed a couple of adult beverages last night! Amazing how when you are trying to keep your mind in the right place to deal with MBC, stuff happens to bring you back to reality. 🤪 hopefully all this will get worked out for not too much money. I would like to be able to use my front door again.
Take care! Hopefully there will be blue skies for everyone this weekend. We are to get our usual Friday rain tomorrow while having my chemo infusion. The fun never ends

NM, we have those gray, gloomy days in Michigan...for MONTHS! Do not miss it at all. The sun shines here probably 90 percent of the year. There are lots of CBD scams out there, it's the new money maker. My MIL got taken on some pills, out rageously expensive, claims miracles and only 1 mg I believe per pill, which is nothing. Wishing you some sunshine soon.
Sandy, I know nothing about "latte are", heck I don't even go to Starbucks or any coffee shop for that matter. 2 cups of Folgers coffee in the morning and I'm done until the next morning.

Oh my JCS, bees in the house, yikes. But I guess you have dealt with it before. How do you deal with it in the meantime? Try to keep certain doors closed so they don't get in those rooms? Do you stay there? I hope you get it resolved soon.
Off to town today, need more stuff to fix the outside of the house. Also have to do labs.

With CBD, you need to be an informed consumer. If possible, and you have access to a dispensary that sells more than just marijuana/THC, they are quite knowledgeable. State-licensed dispensaries carry only state-regulated products, strictly analyzed for truth in labeling, sourcing, purity, etc. and which are sourced from plants grown in-state. But their CBD tends to be marijuana-sourced, rather than from industrial hemp, and is higher in THC.
For industrial hemp products (such as are available online, in health food stores, head and vape shops, etc.) you need to ask: where is the hemp grown? Is it grown organically? ("Non-GMO" is irrelevant). Any plant will absorb whatever is in the soil, and that includes not just nutrients but chemicals, pathogens & heavy metals. What's it made from? Whole-plant (including buds or flowers) is best, as it will contain the full spectrum of phytonutrients and not just CBD (and the minimal legal amount ot THC, 0.3%). Beware of "hemp oil" products citing stalks & seeds as the source, as the seeds contain no CBD (hemp seed is good only as a topical cosmetic or nutritive oil). Not just the hemp itself but the products made from it should be third-party tested by independent labs (at least each batch), and the results available online (via a QR or alphanumeric code on the label). Ideally, you want full-spectrum, CO2 or ethanol-extracted, Colorado or Kentucky grown (though IL and IN have reputable growers). Brands I trust are Receptra Naturals (my doctor recommends it, as the company works with a select few family-owned organic hemp growers), Green Roads (a pioneer in the industry), Select, Sopris, Medterra, etc. Beware of what are called "white label" CBD products--usually brands with catchy names, hippie-dippie graphics, sketchy sourcing info, no codes to check testing--they're usually using CBD sourced from China, the exact same formulas sold to these lower-tier companies. Look for a dedicated CBD shop, not a vape-kratom shop and certainly not a head shop. Lots of bongs, blown-glass waterpipes and hash pipes, etc. are not a promising sign. Everyone in the store should be thoroughly knowledgeable about all the products sold there and can tell you why they trust them. Beware a stoner vibe, or more nicotine-vape products than CBD.
DOTD today was "Doda" brut cava at Cellars' Dine Out 4 Life annual dinner benefiting the Howard Brown AIDS clinic.

Latte art is made by carefully pouring & skillfully manipulating milk steamed to a microfoam consistency into espresso, through the golden-rust-brown layer of crema atop the espresso. Hearts, flowers, fern fronds, etc. are the most popular "free pour" (no tools) designs; some use toothpicks or even dots of chocolate syrup to draw pictures in the foam.
I can see why exterminators are loath to deal with bees: they are usually deep in the walls and can be aggressive; but if they are honeybees and not yellow jackets, they're endangered and very necessary to the survival of agriculture. Beekepers are the best equipped to deal with them.

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy TGIF day! Back to drippy and gray weather again, but supposed to clear up over the weekend. I certainly hope so, I am getting so very tired of wet and gray. I know the weather will turn eventually. At least the snow is gone, but boy does the dog yard look pretty awful! Sadie is still loving the mud, she wet and brown from toes to belly already this ayem.
Librarian--My Mom had both her knees replaced at the same time, I cannot imagine the work it took to recover from having both hips replaced at the same time! Coming home to a honeybee swarm must have been quite the experience! And all the back and forth about who can do what is just nuts. Hoping you get use of the front door soon!
Goldie--I am lucky, the gray gloomies don't (usually) last for months here!
Chi--thanks for the info!
Honey Bee
Ingredients
- 1/2 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 tablespoon water
- 2 ounces rum -- white rum
- 1/2 ounce lemon juice
cocktail glass
Instructions:
Put the honey and warm water in a cocktail shaker and stir it until the honey is thoroughly dissolved. Add the white rum* and lemon juice, then shake viciously with cracked ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. If this is too dry, or if you're feeling charitable and generous of spirit, g'ahead and add a little more honey. Drink how ya like.
* According to Embury, this makes it a Honeysuckle; a Honey Bee requires dark, Jamaican-style rum. Esquire's 1949 Handbook for Hosts disagrees. We'll go with Esquire.

The last beekeeper said it was a scout swarm and that they have moved on. He had a very large ego and seemed very sure of himself. I had two vodka tonics that night, but nothing last night. Chemo this morning, so I had to prepare. We were supposed to get rain and storms today, but woke up to sunny skies. The person that was to trim my shrubs cancelled. Guess I will get out there tomorrow and do what I can. My driveway is getting too narrow as the shrubs are on both sides.
Everyone take care and enjoy Friday!

Tgif- blooming Claret cup in my rock garden
-
Jazzy - Those are beautiful! My son lived in Tucson for a time and he loved getting out of the industrial area to see all the really different nature. He loves camping and seeing natural beauty close up. He couldn’t take the heat, tho. Just wore him out. I am thrilled he came back to SC and will travel west to visit rather than live there. My DIL planted some kind of cactus in her yard that is filling in a flower bed. Not sure what it is, but the blooms are short lived and not that pretty
-
Good Morning, Loungettes! Happy Saturday!Sadie and I are getting up to pouring rain. Yuck. Very cold pouring rain. At least it's not snow! I'm going to be out helping teach CPR most of today, that will be a nice change from the intensity of yesterday. I was working with a new nurse who has not gotten an adequate orientation. I've found BIG holes in the orientation process that I need to get working or fixing ASAP. Got a lot done but made for a long and tiring day. Sadie was so good to listen to me babble about the day all evening. Even if she isn't really listening she sure can look like she is!
Librarian--Glad to hear the swarm has moved on! Much better all the way around. I hope they find an appropriately located, safe home. Good luck with the chemo, and widening the driveway!
Jazzy--Pretty!
Going to make this short, the rain is picking up and I need to head out.

JCS, my neighbor just got some bees. They have lots of animals, a horse, 4 cows, goats, chickens, turkeys and a dog. She names all of them, therefore won't eat any of them. So being funny, I asked her if she was gonna name the bees!
Some cactus don't have very pretty flowers is right, and no, they do not bloom long.
Jazzy, I haven't even looked to see if any of our cactus have bloomed. Our prickly pears have those not so pretty yellow flowers, I know there are some that have a pretty pink/red flower, but not mine. I have some hedgehog, they get a pretty flower.
NM, do you do the orientation for the new nurses? I KNOW that new nurse did not get that from you. Are you responsible for making that better? Glad you have Sadie to vent to. I hope your class goes well today and you have no issues with the rain. Hopefully some sun soon!
Cami, I hope all is ok in your world, haven't seen you in a few. Joey should be out of school soon? I think I see you out there tho! Want to go swimming?
Good Saturday morning to everyone else.
Still working on the house, just doesn't seem like it will ever be done! After today, we should only have the back to do, which is very long but lots of big windows.

DOTD-Prickly Pear Mojito
Ingredients
- 16 Mint Leaves
- Juice of 1 Lime
- 8 Ounces Sparkling Water (could also use club soda)
- 8 Teaspoons Sugar (divided)
- 3 Tablespoons Prickly Pear Juice (divided)
- Optional Ingredient: 3 Ounces White Rum (divided)
Instructions
- Add 8 mint leaves to each glass, then add in 4 teaspoons of sugar and juice from half of the lime to each glass. Muddle the mint leaves.
- Add half of the prickly pear juice to each glass and give it a good stir.
- Fill each glass with crushed ice.
- For the non-mocktail, this is where you would add half of the rum to each glass.
- Top off the glasses with sparkling water.
- Garnish with a sugar cane stick.
- Serve.
Quick notes
Stir the drink to mix the heavier ingredients at the bottom with the ice and water at the top.
Getting the juice from the prickly pears.
Cut both ends off of the fruit, then gently cut a slit the length of the pear. You should cut through the thick skin. Carefully use your knife to help you peel off the skin. It may peel off in one piece or it may come off in several pieces. Cut the fruit into chunks and then place them into a blender or food processor. Buzz the fruit until it’s been pureed. Pour the puree into a fine mesh strainer and push it back and forth to separate the juice from the seeds. My 2 fruits yielded more than 1/2 a cup of juice.

Mornin ladies, just jumping in.
JC I don't remember but I lloked st ur avatar, and I really likr that pic. of u. And as I know u've heard u all must be really sweet for a swarm to move in.IDK if anyone noticed but I wasn't here. My usual reason, U know It's kind of sad when u have to go to the ER and people just know ur name.. Nothing serious, I guess my body needs a tune up but it takes my brain more time for it to finish. Anyway not such a good week, but I'm ok now and I'll be bock.
Oh unless I'm still delirious we're supposed to get a bunch of snow today
lubs u all

Last night's blueberry shrub
-
Worked on the azaleas this morning. Great day for it with sun, a little breeze, no humidity and not much pollen. My mother-in-law planted these azaleas over 60 years ago. I have a hard time with my husband allowing me to prune them. I think they are much happier and healthier with an annual pruning. Can you tell the bushes have been trimmed?
They could still be shorter. There is a black wrought iron railing and a bench on the porch behind the bushes that is difficult to see. It took me three hours to hand trim and clean up. My ass is on the couch now and will be for most of the rest of the day!
Have a great weekend!
-
I attempted to post some pics of my azaleas and they did not load. Maybe too large. Trying again. It was a great day for yardwork. Not too hot, low humidity, little breeze. The bushes are over 60 years old and were planted by my mother-in-law. My husband does not want them trimmed too short. I would like to see more of thewrought iron railing and the bench that are behind the bushes.
-
Cannot get the pics to load. I will try again after my nap.
-
I can not get the pictures of my pruning to load so you will have to take my word for it. I worked hard for three hours to get the azaleas trimmed back to a normal level. I love them, but keeping them under control is crazy. They were planted 60 years ago by my mother-in-law. My husband does not like to trim any shrubbery. He thinks everything should be over his head! And does not understand how most shrubs like an annual haircut. Half the work is convincing him it needs to be done.
Anyway, had a great day working through the steroid high. Walked three miles, trimmed the shrubs, did some housework and cooked dinner. Hope to sleep well tonight. Never did get that nap.
Tomorrow is another day!!!!
-
Cami, you were in the hospital??? What happened? Sorry you had a bad week. I love you and hope you are feeling better.
Jazzy, what a pretty drink.
JCS, have you posted pictures before? I can perhaps try to help you if you start by telling me how you were trying to do it.
NM, hope your teaching day went well. Poor Sadie has to wonder what is going on.
Sandy, you and Cami got snow? What the heck!
Same today as yesterday, more painting and gardening!
-
Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Sunday funday! Sun is out, temps are above 50, gonna be a very pretty day. Sadie has already gotten play time in the mud puddle and tracked mud all over the kitchen floor. Got the first load of laundry out on the line. Gonna get stuff done today!
Goldie--I'm just getting involved in the new staff orientation, and it has moved to the very top of my priority list. Learning the computer system should NOT be as "asyou go" or OTJ training. A nurse cannot be responsible for patient care while learning a new computer system. Apparently when the nursing home went to the electronic system no one got any real training on how to use the system.The CPR/First Aid class went great, we all had a wonderful time and 10 more parents and teachers are now CPR and first aid certified, including one 81/2 month pregnant Mom to be that is supposed to be on bedrest!
Pretty Prickly Pear Mojito!
Cammy--I noticed you weren't posting and was worried about you! More snow? I'm not surprised. Poor kitty!
Jazzy--Does the blueberry shrub taste much like blueberries? I'm very fond of blueberry drinks.
Librairan--I can just imagine how much work you've done, spring is a time for lots of hard work in the garden. Great way to use that steroid high, too!
-
Maybe I can get one pic to load 🤞 This is the finished product. My Mother-in-law planted these over 60 years ago and my husband does not like to prune them. I would still like the bushes lower so you could see the wrought iron railing and bench on the porch behind them.

Good Morning DahhhLinKs,
Been away a few days…jes been so busy and when I think about what I've been doin…well I jes can't remember. Miss my mind sooo much.
Sandy - Thanks for the info on a true Latte. I had not heard about some shops adding CBD, but hey…I'd take it!
NM - We have been in the 80's, 50's in the am. It's going to get really HOT here soon…ugh. It is nice to see the sun early in the morn….practically promises a bright, sunshiny day. Think that's a song I used to hum to myself in my skiing days. LOL Good fir you doing the CPR training. Think I should check with my local FD to see if they have refresher courses, I need to refresh as it's been over 10 yrs since I was certified.
JCS - I'm highly allergic to bees….I'd be freaking out if I found them inside my house. Hope the cutout works.
Lowee - I jes LOVE the post of the flowers and birds outside the window. VERY nice. I have to do Labs tomorrow, then Tues (30th) back to LV for 3 CAT scans. I then will stay with DD as I'm flying to Portland OR on Thursday. Wont be back to LV until Mother's Day. Both my kids will be in town and one will pick me up from Airport. Then will stay w/DD as I have chemo and MO appt on Tues. DH will meet me at the MO's and hang around til I'm done.
Sandy - WOW thanks for all the info on the CBD/THC. Good to know.
Jazzy - Claret cup very pretty. Thanks for sharing.
Cami - I am as aghast as Lowee about the snow in your world. Love the pic of the kitty sparkling in the snow. Praying that you are feeling better. We jes hate to hear u've been in the hosp.
-
Hi all, sounds like a lot of you have been busy! Cami, I hope you are feeling better. Goldie, is your daughter recovering well?
I need a favor. I know several of you kindly recommended CBD oil already. However, I didn't write them down and when I went to A maz on I couldn't remember. Also, they're expensive so I want to get a tried and true brand. Thanks!
-
H & I are still coughing with hard colds.
H took 2 quick pics of an old toad that was uncovered then recovered while raking.

Hi everyone- been a busy girl but the new contract at the old client site is going well. First two weeks of settling in have gone better than expected. The place has it's well known challenges, but the management in the area I am working for seems good right now. And as my gig is through year end, right now is all I need to focus on!
Been super busy around the house with the yard, spring cleaning, getting rid of some more clothing to consignment and donations. The back yard is looking pretty good, front yard too. More pics coming soon!
Cami- why did you end up in the ER? Are you okay friend?
Goldie- yes, how is your DD doing with her recovery?
Mema- how are you feeling friend? I hear you on the "hot soon" and it has already been pretty warm here end of April. I always think May is a lovely month but it may be warming up here quickly. June is always the hottest month here, or at least it feels like it.
NM- yes the blueberry shrub tastes like blueberries. Of course you love them, being from Maine and all. It is made with blueberry vodka which I have never seen in the store. I cannot find a good recipe to make it from anything on line but will ask them next time I am there what the recipe is.
For all of you still dealing with snow, May is around the corner now. But this.....
-
Cami, hope you're OK. Next time you visit the ER, you should ask how many more frequent flyer miles you'd need for an upgrade.
It snowed sloppy slush for 12 hours yesterday. Didn't really start sticking on the N. lakefront till about 9pm, when I was about to leave from my gig at Wishbone. But it all melted away, and here in the city it didn't get cold enough to freeze.
Speaking of the gig, we were given the chance to reschedule, but we decided to press ahead. I learned my lesson twice. Once, I was about to leave for Madison for an outdoor concert opening a brand new state park, when a weather bulletin came on about hail, high winds, flash flooding and possible tornadoes not only along my route but in & around Madison. The advice given was to stay off the roads. I had visions of out PA system getting wet or struck by lightning and I called my singing partner up there. He agreed it was just too dangerous, and then called me back to say the organizers decided to postpone the concert for the next day, but indoors in the park's machine shed. When I got there the next morning (zigging & zagging to avoid flooded areas), I found out that a couple of people actually came out in the storm the night before and were royally ticked off. (We comped them for our next shows). Another time it was -10F with a foot of snow on the ground. I was asked to play a comedy music show a couple of neighborhoods south of me. I didn't get a call or e-mail that the show was canceled, so I went. We had an audience of exactly one...who had driven up from Indiana. I'm still haunted by how I'd have felt had I backed out.
Well, it wasn't looking good till about half an hour after setup & soundcheck...and then people began trickling in. We had about 13 people in the audience, 13 more than the owner had expected. We'll be rehired--if we could draw 13 people in a snowstorm, we can definitely draw 20 or more in decent weather. And we were sent home with hot dinners!
My DOTD was a Provençal rosé when I got home.
My recommended CBD brands, all available online, are Receptra Naturals, Select CBD, Green Roads, Sopris (which makes gelcaps), Mary's Nutritionals, Charlotte's Web and HempBombs. I know Receptra offers a free "membership" with a discount; the others might also. HelloMD.com has links to all of them, some of which offer discounts as well. Leafly.com is an excellent educational site.
But you get what you pay for--the cheapest off-brands use generic "white label" CBD oils (from Chinese-grown hemp) which are sold, bottled and relabeled by companies.
-
Good Morning,Loungettes!Happy Monday Monkey day!Another bright sunshiny morning to get up to today, but chilly. I'll take the chilly, I know the sun will warm it up soon enough. And rain coming in for the rest of the week. Ah well, Sadie is getting a great mud season.
Librarian--I bet the flowers in front of the wrought iron railing look fabulous!
Mema--You'll notice that CPR has changed a lot since the last time you were certified!They change things up every couple of years. Classes can be a lot of fun, though.
Muddling--busy is good, right?
Teka--that's one big toad!
Jazzy--glad the new contract is starting out well. I'll look for some recipes for the blueberry shrub, too. I tasted one brand of blueberry flavored vodka, it did NOT taste like blueberries! Prolly cuz it was cheap stuff.April truly has failed us this year, hasn't it?
Chi--wow, talk about weather stories! You've been through them all!
Blueberry Martini
Recipe
Ingredients (serves 2):
1/2 ripe lemon
1/4 cup blueberries (about 15 berries, can be fresh or frozen)
1 1/2 ounce Hangar 1 Maine Wild Blueberry vodka
1 1/2 ounce vodka
1 1/2 ounce Cointreau
2 ounces premium lemonade
Ice
Directions:
- Add the blueberries to the glass side of a Boston-style cocktail shaker
, squeeze in the juice of the lemon half, and muddle until berries are well crushed.
- Fill metal side of shaker with ice and pour in the lemon/blueberry mixture.
- Add vodka, Cointreau, and lemonade.
- Join shaker halves and shake briskly for 15-20 seconds.
- Strain into chilled martini glasses.
- Garnish with skewered blueberries.
Bartender's Hint: If you ever come across Hangar 1's Maine Wild Blueberry vodka, stock up! It can be difficult to find. If it's not available, adjust the recipe to use 3 ounces "regular" vodka, throw in a few more blueberries, and reduce the lemonade slightly. If you do find the blueberry vodka, you may be tempted to use a full 3 ounces; for our tastes, using a 50-50 blend with plain unflavored vodka results in a smoother blueberry martini.
I'm thinking I need to look for Hangar 1 vodka!
-
IT;S MONDAY -
NM, so will you be doing the orientation for new nurses? Thus teaching them the computer system? Please remind me of your position and what it consists of. Have you heard anything about "that other place"! Oh no, more rain and more mud. You must feel sometimes like it will never dry up. That Blueberry Martini looks very refreshing.
JCS, still no picture! Do you have it saved on your computer? Or maybe you are using your phone or a tablet?
Sue, good luck on those girl and have fun on your trip. Was going to ask if you might be in LV next week, but I guess that's a no! We have trade show to do, I'll be there next Monday.
Mud, my daughter is doing well, however yesterday she was looking for friends, via FB, that wanted to go bowling. I said I don't think that would be too smart, to early for that. It's only been 4 weeks. Then reminded her of the excruciating pain she had from the internal bleeding and asked if she wanted that again. Lots of her friends chimed in as well, telling her NO. So she opted for shooting some pool.
Teka, hope you and DH recover soon. That toad looks like a rock!
Jazzy, see my post to Mud re my daughter. Can't wait to see more pics of your gardens. You do such a nice job. Also glad the new gig is going well.
Sandy, an audience of 13, kind of funny, but I guess expected in a storm. And then an audience of 1, AND they drove from IN! They must have really wanted to see your show!
Bad weather in the spring is not good for our business. More gardening yesterday and put in some of the irrigation, still more to do. Had labs done last Friday, but have not looked at results, as my markers are always going up. See my onc on Thursday, I predict a change in treatment, most likely Ibrance, which I am afraid of! See too many who have their blood counts go low, then can't do the treatment and sometimes even end up in the hospital for trasfusions.
