Mornin' ladies,
Wow the time is jumping by.
Jazzy so happy it was a wart, but it sure didn't sound like one. It's true every time they order tests it's like twilight zone appears and when ur out of the zone it's such a load off ur back. But good thing u were busy that does help.
Kim LOL LOL LOL Sadie, that furbaby is a wonder, we all get to enjoy her antics but u get them in person.
JC u walk where there are gators??? u brave people, do u see many. Jeezz I wouldn't ever do that.
Hey Karen good to see u poopin in.
I'm so mad right now cuz I can't member much that I read and it's on the last page so I can't go back. So if I get mixed up that's why.
OMG the accident, how awful...Pain usually sets in the day after too with so many things. But really glad it wasn't worse. Broken ribs really hurt, do they do anything for them now, yrs ago u just had to wait for them to heal ick.
Oh Lori yep it's blinky whatever I wear, but that won't change how I look, I just like bling. and with slippers too, how silly I'll look. I never got to shorten the hem but I did find a new scarf with bling on the edges I can use as a belt and blouson the dress, so maybe I can get away with that.
Dan came over last nite, I'm learning a new program again, he keeps on making it easier but learning isn't easy for me. So I'm also going in the office Monday to see the set up, and he doesn't like my puter and wants me to have the touch screen and new key board. I really told him don't invest any money in me, I'm not worth it cuz then he'll have to teach me how to use it. Since I passed 70 < a few yrs. ago> it seems like my retaining anything is harder that when in my 60's. I shouldn't complain cuz I've made it this far with all this crap.
Leslie surgery is Friday and Marty's is the next Monday after , should be lots of fun in this house. I really wish I could help. We'll get by.. Electrician don't do that stuff.
Well I washed my hair and did my nails last nite but forgot to sleep, so I'll take my shower soon and then just rest the rest of the day, I hope I'll just take calls for a couple of hrs. We have been busy the last few day starting at 3am with sump pumps, just to much rain and power outages, which Com Ed doesn't do as much as they used to. They tell people to call an electrician and the other nite it was live wires which they are supposed to take care of first so my phones were burning up a nd we had to call Com Ed. IDK all these things get to confusing to me what we do and what we won't, especially when this wakes me up. Oh well.
OK I'm going to try and get things started here. I know my sister and I are for sure sitting at the head table, with my bat crazy SIL so we'll see how that goes.
LUBS U ALL

OK I was in the pewl again, hey maybe I don't have to take a shower. Thanks Lori.
Oh Sandy I thought I talked about ur back I hope it gets better quickly, I never had my back go out like u gals, but that is miserable. cuz I member my cousin with her back. Doing the smallest thing could kind of snap it and she was down for a few days. Good thing u know what to do.

Okay friends, I saw our friend Cami has a birthday today (thanks Facebook for the tip off).
Happy Birthday Cami and here is your present!
-
Oh, Cami, so sorry I've not been keeping up (my backache and Quora swallowed up my time) and missed your birthday! Here's to extending it to the entire weekend. Thank goodness Happy doesn't remember having had balls...
Slept last night on my side, knees bent, pillow between them. Still woke up stiff and in agony. Inched down the stairs one step at a time. Piriformis stretches didn't do diddly. Only the "Bonesmart Cocktail" (800 mg. ibuprofen & 1000 mg. acetaminophen q.6-8 hr)., lots of topicals, CBD twice a day instead of just bedtime, using a reacher instead of bending down, and spending most of my time tethered to my wraparound heating pad has kept me functioning. Moving smoothly though cautiously. But I'm afraid to go to bed even though I've got to get up early-ish to have breakfast, shower and feed the cats--we have tickets for a matinee of West Side Story at the Lyric Opera at 1 pm with a themed dinner at 5 in the opera house's restaurant. Don't want to wake up stiff again. Bob says to wear both a Flector (aka Voltaren) and lidocaine patch overnight--too dangerous to sleep with a heating pad and nowhere to plug it in upstairs anyway. Oh, and we're in for massive storms just when we'll be en route (hoping the liftshare driver is able & willing, because I'm in no shape to walk to & from the train--especially changing lines on an elevated platform during a possible severe storm (or even tornado watch). The show must & will go on, so no cancelling our tickets (we've already paid).
Our family shrink is likely retired as of now--he e-mailed me that his cardioversion & ablation didn't work and he's having open-heart surgery Tuesday. Not worried about me--my primary care doc can keep tabs on my Wellbutrin (it's been a maintenance med for 20 yrs) and I don't need counseling. But he's treated Gordy ever since he was a severely depressed 13-yr-old. Gordy's been seeing him every other month (when he started it was twice a week, then twice a month, then every month till two years ago). He saved Gordy's life--and made it possible for him to grow up into a fine young man with no demons to wrestle. I'm hoping the work they did will enable Gordy to seamlesssly transition to a new therapist to keep tabs on him and his medication. Meanwhile, I'm putting him on my prayer list and next Friday on my temple's Mi Sheberach list (I will definitely attend services). Makes my backache pretty damn trivial--it's only pain, after all. Pain never killed anybody.
DOTD: Joel Gott unoaked chardonnay, with the salmon I made. Tomorrow, likely cava at the opera house.

Cami, remember all the life guards? So it's ok to be bumped into the pool. Well, that will be one wedding aniversary you won't be forgetting! Happy Birthday girlfriend. Can't wait to hear how the wedding went and what problems, if any, your SIL created. What kind of surgery is Marty having? LOL at forgetting to sleep!
Sandy, I'm just cringing in regards to your back.
NM, I hope you and Sadie are out enjoying family or home resting and sleeping in.
-
Happy sunny Sunday - and it sunny, but chilly - 42! My son and DI getting ready to head back to Australia today, nursing the ribs and sore bodies...my parents are okay though dad finds it difficult to get up as it really hurts his left side, he is back to doctor on Tuesday, thank you for all those prayers and good thoughts!
Cami - Happy birthday, I always loved birthdays and now they are even more appealing
They leave ribs alone still, no taping, just painkillers for 3 days. I am thinking it will be a looo ong flight home today. Chi - I would love to know how the silicone straw works for you as I too 'reuse' plastic and have just purchased stainless steel, would prefer something like silicone though...
NM - hope you and Sadie are enjoying your cousin and the weekend as well!
Sheesh - I too am having no recall of previous page and do NOT want to lose what I have typed here. Have a happy Sunday, stay warm and away from those gators for anyone who walks near them!! Cheers!

Hi friends- happy end of Sunday Funday. Been quiet here this weekend but expect everyone is busy with graduations, weddings, getting started on summer vacations, gardening and more. It was a cooler weekend here and we have some rain forecasted this coming week for about three days. A storm on it's way in tonight and will leave tomorrow, and then more later this week. I read the Rocky region may have a cooler than normal summer, but okay with that as we have had some scorching summers the past few years.
Goldie- yes, we were getting the winds here Thursday in to Friday. It was windy yesterday too, some tonight as well. I expect you will get the rain before me, which also means mud. But think you are also away on vaca soon too?
Cami- how was your wedding and birthday?
Janky- I hope your son and DIL make it back okay to Australia. Long flight to deal with when you have injuries. I hope your son will heal quickly.
I am glad I did not go to Denver as I heard it was icey rain on Friday and some snow may be moving in with this storm. Karen be safe! Winter won't let go.
Have a good week ladies and and safe travel if you are heading out somewhere for the long holiday weekend early!
-
This has been me, after one of my nites out, so I hope to catch up later today. Remember when I tell u about the wedding, out of 300 people, 100 spoke Italian and English, 100 could not speak English, only Italian and then it was our family. Thiis was a doorway into the past of living in a Chicago area of all Italians and it was so over the top. Italians <most> are all about show and food, there can't be enough show and never enough food. -
Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Back to work Day! Sadie and I had avery wonderful weekend visiting with the cousins. Silly Sadie got wiped right out with all the tummy tickles, ear scratches, treats, fetches, cuddles, walks, and generally attention. She slept hard in the car on the way home and in bed last night. But it was a great time to catch up with the cousins, got to see almost all of them in the area at one point on Saturday or Sunday.
Cammy Cat--Umm, Not sure I want to have that convo with that kitty!
Goldie--Praying for aB9 result for DH. Sadie and I had a great time this weekend.
Cammy--learning new stuff can be hard, but it's good for the brain, or so they say! I'm thinking you'll get used to the new system pretty quickly. I'll be praying for your whole family during surgery week.What a time in your household! I hope the wedding was fun.
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, CAMMY!!!!!!!
Chi--oh my, I hope your back straightens itself out ASAP! And It's hard when a long time provider retires or moves. That's a big change to deal with.
Goldie--Sadie and I had a great time, although lots of sleep wasn't part of the deal!
Janky--we did have a great weekend, thanks!Hope your family's travels weren't too uncomfortable.
Jazzy--the weather folks are talking about thunderstorms here this afternoon!That's a sure sign of spring.Still chilly enough to have the heat on in the evenings, though. Looking forward to the holiday weekend, in a big way.
Cammy Cat--now THAT is a good weekend plan!
For the DOTD I would add a shot (or 2) of Citrus Vodka, or dark spiced rum:
-
SO TRUE -
Janky, I read a post and then type a reply to that person in notepad or Word, go the next post and do the same. Then I copy and paste it in, but not before refreshing the page, just so I don't bump anyone in the pewl. For me, that is usually Cami or NM! Safe travels for your son and DIL and good luck to your dad as well.
Jazzy, it's been windy here for a few days, I think just some rain today, barely a sprinkle this morning and lows heading into the high 30's. What the heck is going on with this weather this year.
Oh my Cami, you posted late! Can't wait to hear about the wedding and funny cat meme. And now you are up again. And as I mentioned before, I refreshed the page, had I not, you would have been in the pewl!
NM, welcome back home. Was your mom able to join in any of the visits? Or perhaps this was your dad's side of the family? So glad you and Sadie had such a great time. Almost sounds like she had a better time than you! As for DH, it will most likely come back positive. Back in the day, he had a landscape business down in Phoenix and didn't have much hair, and now has hardly any at all. But being exposed to that hot sun on your head and back, as they didn't wear shirts, well he is paying for it now.

Mornin' ladies,
OMG I have to actually go in an office today...just saw it when Dan bought the building warehouse was empty, both offices were empty---How..dare he ask me to actually show up But anyway Thank u for my BD wishes u gals are great.
Janice it was so nice to read u can't member the last page either.
Lori when do u get the results back??? Things better start going ur way NOW.
Sandy I hope ur back is better, boy u don't let it stop u, I give u loads of credit. I hope u got to enjoy everything u planned.
Jazzy u take such pretty pics. of scenery , u know I don't remember things. Did u ever say u took pics for a hobby or any other reason. Cuz it looks like it. Actually when I see some of the pics u gals take, I honestly can't take good pics. so again I give u credit.
Kim ur DOTD sounds like a great one actually, I can try that one..
Well one thing about the wedding was from the time we sat down for dinner, all thru it they played loud Dance music, so noone could actually talk to one another so my SIL who my sister and I sat by never said a word, of course we hardly talked either so it's ironic anyone was worried about what she would say. But u couldn't miss all 12 couples being introduced,all in spot light <which they didn't need> all the women were in gold sequins that were their own light with a really long split that it almost reached the low v necked top WOW and when the bride and groom were finally announced she sparkled like tinkerbell and then all these sparklers came out of thes huge balls of flowers <very high> on our tables. The bride and groom looked adorable But one of the non speaking English screamed fire <they should have warned some people I guess, but she was calmed down with some wine, WHAT ELSE??? The food started with about 8 appetizers a couple I really liked, the ravioli with pesto and something else none of us recognized but it was good. We thought it was the main courses all put down at one time til the sorbet came out, then the usual soup and salad. Well my sister and I couldn't eat anymore and it was 10PM we knew we had to stop. And Lori I was under dressed compared to the Italians there, it was like a parade for a tribute to sparkle all over the place. U felt like sparkle dust was going to be on all the food too.
My phones are going. blah Mondays I hear my cheerful voice on the phone and I wonder how do I do that at 6am, oh one of the Wonders that was never mentioned about women.
LUBS U ALL

It is Funday Monday here in Canada - our May long weekend! We had our two 4 year old grandsons for a sleepover in the camper last night - so much fun! Hotdogs and marshmellows on the fire, then stories and lights out at 10 pm - they slept till 6 am, so pretty good overall! Now getting them ready to return to their moms - PHEW!
goldie - I will try the copy paste next time, thank you for the heads up!
NM - It sure sounds like you totally enjoyed the family, always great to catch up - right now I am quite content to chill at home with DH and me (at least for a few days)! It has been a fun, family filled 3 weeks and now we need a wee break...
My oldest son was here for 5 days, and is now on his way home to Florida, while number 2 son is on his way back to Australia, and number 3 son, who is number 2's identical twin, is back at work, not too far from where we live.
Have a great week everyone. Cheers!

Janky- happy Patriots Day!

jazzy - it is Victoria Day, my son is a Patriots fan though ;

Spring time in the Rockies!!

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Twofer Tuesday! We had our first Thunderstorm of the season last evening. I figured the first loud boom would spook Sadie, who was outside in the yard, but she didn't even react to it! She reacted a little later when she was inside and the rain started coming down in absolute buckets.
Cammy Cat--Very good point!
Goldie--Mom did get some visit time in, and due to a quirk of fate, it's both sides of the family. My Mom married my Dad, Mom's sister married Dad's nephew. The cousin who was visiting, her mom was my mom's sister, her father was my cousin by birth and uncle by marriage. It's a tad crazyto think about at times! Sadie did have a very good time, the entire family is dogcrazy. Hope the results for DH are just skin cancer if it must be positive, and not melanoma. At least skin cancer is slow and easy to control.
Cammy--you actually have to go to an office?????Oh, my, goodness!You poor thing. The wedding sounds like it was quite the experience! I'm giggling a bit a the guest yelling "fire" when the sparklers came out! That's the kind of thing that becomes a family story. Sounds like there was lots and lots of food!
Janky--I can imagine the relief of the peace after having all that family fun going on!Happy Victoria Day!I'm looking forward to the Memorial Day long weekend coming up.
Karen--AMAZING!!

Janky- thanks for that. Another BCO sister friend mentioned Patriots day and I wondered if that was right but did not look it up. I used to work in Massachusetts once and they have a Patriots Day. So Victoria Day is a holiday to celebrate Queen Victoria, I learned something new today!
Cami- it sounds like you had a nice time at the wedding sister. I think no one knows better how to eat than the Italians. Food food and more food!
Karen- we have snow around NM too, out west in Gallup, Santa Fe on north and the mountains all got it. It was cold and rainy here yesterday and did not make it above the mid 40s, down in the mid 30s waking up. My gardens will be liking the rain but this cold won't be good for a few things. My friend who I was going to visit up there last weekend texted me a photo from her property very similar to yours. And the news here says Purgatory Ski Resort in Durango is opening for Memorial Day.
Goldie- we definitely have erratic weather right now. My east coast friends tell me it has been raining solid for five weeks back in that area and they are rain weary. I think we are going to have a cooler summer sister. But I hope it is not like this the whole time, feels more like early March than end of May? The news says we are going to be in for a cold and windy week.
NM- it sounds like you had a fun weekend visiting family and Sadie had some fun too. Good to hear you are hearing sounds of spring, at least with t-storms. My guess is you are getting a lot of the rain I hear about back east too?
I am up early as I have to be in for a project kick off meeting. My project is taking a bit longer to get going because the docs have a lot of questions around one of the platforms and been closing the gap on that. The guy who runs the area I am working for resigned last week (he was the one who offered me the work). You have heard me talk about this healthcare org and it's instability in the past, so nothing surprising about it and just trying to help them with this work they need my help with. I like the project they gave me, and just do my thing and go at the end of the day. I am meeting with the IT groups this morning and am sure it will be an interesting conversation.
Well, we made it through Monday, onward to Tuesday!

Mornin' ladies,
Janky is sounds like u do need a wee vacay from vacays and just rest a while. So u have 1 son that lives near you, that's good.
Kim I'vebeen in a haze---u seem like ur weekend was fun with ur family and without a doubt Sadie not only had a good time but gave everyone else a good time.. Ur first Storm, WOW we've been getting them a couple times a week.
Janky I always forget u live in Canada so of course u have some different holidays, well some I think. And Victoria's holiday must be from a Queen or well someone named Victoria.<Secret, maybe>
Lori was yesterday a Dr. day??? Cu I know when u guys go it's an all day thing. How can u stand that I've never been more than 3 miles from any dr. I'm so spoiled.
Sandy how's ur back. BTW I was thinking about u when I took a Lyft to the wedding. I never took one before and he comes with a Cadillac Escalade <or something like that> and I needed my step stool to get in. I step on it and get 1/2 way in then someone places their hands on my butt and pushes me in the rest of the way. I have no pride. And I really talk to much, by the time we got there I knew everything about this man, his life, how old his kids were, where he lived and he had this as a part time job. I brought my tiny scissors with me, I couldn't fit my screwdriver , my purse was to small. Screwdriver is much better than a knife, chit I was a little scared, but it was only a 10 minute ride and the guy who took me home was just as nice, oh I found out everything about him too.
Kiim I didn't have to go to the office yesterday, Dan thought it would be to much after my weekend...he babies me sometimes. I was still so tired. I'm such a mess it's recockulous.
I'm supposed to get my new puter soon, but I'm so used to this one, Dan said it just seen it's day and I'll get the touch screen He might put the screen on the wall somehow, but I don't want anything on my TV, that's my personal pleasure and I'd figure out a way to screw that up. Oh being touch he'd put in on the side of me and I could pull it toward me for the screen. Blah OK I have to set up now so hoping everyone has a great day.
LUBS U ALL

There u r Jazzy, Jeez ur weather is worse than ours. How could that possibly happen. Sounds like ur busy busy busy as usual. Just take care.
-
Cami, it's my DH that we are waiting for results on the skin cancer. They said a week to 10 days. How did things go with your trip to the office? And the wedding sure sounded like a big fancy one for sure. I hope there are pictures to see.
Janky, you have been super busy, so time to rest, relax and recoup for sure.
Karen, we got hit with snow yesterday too, practically blizzard like conditions and the temps dropped to 20 with the wind chill, 32 degrees this morning. I sure hope my garden is ok.
Oh my NM, that was a mouthful in regards to your family, not even going to try and wrap my head around that one! DH see's the derm every 6 months and they have said this will be an on going thing, that spots will always be popping up. This one is on his back, he hates when they are on the top of his head, which they froze half a dozen spots there on this last visit too, but biopsies needed for the head.
Jazzy yes, we have been windy for a few days now, and now that cold is setting in....I no likey! I hope your garden will be ok as well.
-
Good morning all! Sounds like life has been full of family experiences for everyone recently. How wonderful, I hope!?!?! This is Birthday week. My youngest son’s BD is today while my husbands is Thursday. We will celebrate both tonight at a wonderful local restaurant. I have presents, a cake and candles for all. I love to make a fuss for birthdays even though the participants are probably too old (36 and 69) for most of the shenanigans! I am taking my husband to a state park and a small town here in S.C. We will go to the Button Man museum and see the Lizard Man exhibit. Only in South Carolina!
DH and I will go to Pawleys Island the end of this month to spend some time at the beach with friends. I am looking forward to relaxing and enjoying the company.
I am reading a really good book, Women Rowing North by Mary Pipher. She discusses the challenges of aging for women. She can get a little loosely-goosey, but most of what she says hits home.
Hope people are weather safe! Cannot believe it is still snowing in the mountains. I grew up in “Tornado Alley” and remember how awful the storms can be. It is hot and dry here. The humidity is starting to creep in. It makes things pretty miserable during the summer.
Take care all

cami - I forget lots of things, even when someone has just mentioned it, my mind knows I heard something interesting, then struggles to remember what it was!! How was your day at the office - imagine having to show up at work?! The wedding food sounds amazing, yummmmm! I have 1 son, DIL and their 2 kids, as well as my DD and her son that live nearby, so very nice for us indeed! My oldest is in Sarasota, FL, and 1 near Brisbane, AU - lots of places to travel, just need energy and money...
NM - I so enjoyed yesterday afternoon's peaceful time - I am thinking Sadie might be up for some R & R too! Son and DIL arrived home and resume their lives, albeit painfully for the next wee while.
karen - we have to love spring in the Rockies, snow whenever it is least expected!
goldie - I do indeed need a mini vacay from vacation! We are awaiting results on my dad, who has had skin cancer, they just removed and biospsied a lump behind his ear, results Friday. Hoping it is still the melanoma and not spread to his skull - waiting for results is long!! He too, abused his body back in the day, shirtless in the sun and all of that nonsense.
JCS - Family was fun and fabulous for sure! Enjoy your birthday week and then Pawley. The next time we head to Brunswick, GA to see family, we plan on visiting SC as well, never really been there and it seems like a lovely spot.
Wishing us all a happy, healthy rest of the week, till the US long weekend begins - Cheers!

Meanwhile in New Mexico

LMAO TOO. -
Mornin Ladies.
Jazzy what a pic. The sky looks unreal. I've rarely seen those kind of skies. Is Ominous the word I want, well can it fit.
Lori I was talking about ur DH,I just know how difficult waiting is. Again glad u had a hard time with Kim's family, Jeez I read it twice and thought who's related to whom. Wow the weather is crazier than usual, especially by u gals. What's going on.
JC u sound like ur having fun and when u said u were going to Pauley's Island at the end of the month, THAT'S THE NEXT WEEK, it's almost here. Good for u.
Janky I know I'm getting worse and now words don't come to me as easily. And I was such a wordsmith, yea right. Well I would guess no one else notices actually. Maybe that's why I swear so much, those words don't leave my mind.
Oh I have to wake up and get my coffee.

Hey my Thirsty friends! Have not posted in a while, been busy, All is great. Finished my 12 weeks of Taxol and Herceptin! Now just having the Herceptin every 3 weeks for 30 min! No labs no premeds, just show up. Finally got my reconstruction done yday, 5/21. All went great. He put in the Gummie and lifted the other side. Now I’m even. They put on that bra contraption, to wear for 1 Wk. I’m sore as shit but got my meds if I need
Can remove contraption Friday for shower but have to put back on until next Tuesday, when I see dr.
Never lost my hair during Taxol but it surely thinned so we just put the clippers on it and buzzed it. Coming back now, thick as shit! Now I’m rocking the ball caps.
Lots of reading to catch up on everyone! But now nap time. Hope all is well with y’all!
Stay Thirsty My Friends! 🏖🍺🥃🌴

JCS, Happy Birthday to your DS and DH. You have some of the best scernary on your little escapes.
Janky, good luck to your dad on his results and let us know. It's called chemo brain! It's real! I've been known to forget what I was talking about mid sentence...talk about embarrassing!
Jazzy, that's pretty much how it looked here 2 days ago. It's 35 degrees this morning!
Cami, who has pictures of the wedding. I wanna see!
Gigi hi! Glad to see you back and hear that things went well. Take care of yourself and DON'T OVER DO IT. You will be sorry and take even longer to heal.
NM, did Sadie hit the snooze button too many times! I'm used to having coffee with you and Cami in the mornings.
-
Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Hump Day!Going in later today, setting up for the big Skills Fair running all day tomorrow, may not be back on line here until Friday. Sadie was very confused at my sleeping in today! Apparently she can tell time, but not read a calendar. We'll work on that together.
Morning, Cammy Cat!
Jazzy--Patriots Day is a Mass/Maine (Maine used to be part of Mass) holiday to commemorate the first battles of the American Revolution, at Lexington, Concord and Menotomy. It's also observed in Connecticut, Wisconsin and North Dakota of all places. When I was growing up and in college it was a Community Service day, with lots of spring cleaning type projects being done by volunteers. Now it's pretty much about the Boston Marathon. Yup, getting way more rain than is fair. Everyone went nuts yesterday, the sun came out for a few minutes!Now if only it would stay for a while. Sounds like the project is moving forward. That's a good thing!
Cammy--it was a pretty good first thunderstorm of the season! Hoping that means the cold, wet, chilly weather is on its way out. I think you will like the touch screen computer once you get to see it and use it for a bit. They really are convenient!And good for Dan for babying you, you deserve it!
Goldie--Sounds like your DH is going through what my Mom is, regular derm appointments, usually with the removal of one or two spots, the occasional biopsy.So far for Mom it's been all plain old too much sun exposure skin cancer on her face and head. It's just a regular part of life for her nowadays.
Librarian--A beach vacay sounds like such fun! The very idea of tornadoes terrifies me, glad I don't live in Tornado Alley! Happy Birthday to all the birthday people!
Janky--Sadie seems to have recovered from the weekend. But now there is a new house going up on the lot next door, so she is VERY busy supervising all that activity, and that makes for a very pooped pup in the evening!
Jazzy--that sky looks ominous.
Cammy, stop teasing the poor kitty! Don't try to figure out my family, just do like everyone else, shake your head and move on!
Hey, Gigi! Glad treatment has gone well for you! And glad that recon is done and seems to be doing well, too!
Goldie--Sadie and I actually turned the alarm off this ayem!Going to be a long day at work tomorrow, so need to make today short to keep the hours right.
