MIDDLE-AGED WOMEN 40-60ish

Eyebrow likers, I just looked under "permanent make-up, my city"and several choices popped up.  I called 3, interviewed 1 and liked her and her photos, etc. so went with her 2 yrs ago & went back for the retouch.  I'm very pleased.

Mame, I got the Hoyle reference as well as the "pony and shit" reference. I heard that pile of pooh reference about 40 years ago and have been looking for that pony ever since!! hehehehehehheee

Hey gals, I've been missing you all. Just read back several pages and have "caught up".

Eph, love the retouched brows!!!!! And the selfie. 

barsco, good to see a comment from u. Hope all is well for you on this 1st day of summer!!!

Eli, thanks for the topper! Since we have no more fathers in our little family anymore, I've been a singling it since 2000. (then the dead beat died) it was kinda a ho hum day. My DS did come down and made us watch the Lone Survivor. Not my cup of tea, but a shared experience. He was in the Marines for 4 years. Every time those poor guys got shot again or fell down another part of the mountain I was sobbing and hiding my eyes. My DD was jumping every time there was an explosion. Not a movie for the faint of heart. Then Sunday morn I got a phone call from a unfamiliar number and it was the man that was the best man at my parents wedding. He has got to be in his late 90s now. He just wanted to check up on the family and his DD is a whiz on the computer and found my number for him. My parents have been gone for a number of years now. It was like they were checking on me, too. Warm and fuzzies!!!!!

I have been busy taking care of my DD since her hip surgery. Another 4 weeks to go on the recovery treatment protocol.  Then we moved over to my parents old house. It is all one floor so easier, but I am having a hard time feeling settled. It is right on the water and it is summer, so no real complaining going on, but I am exhausted and just can't seem to get enough sleep. Well gotta go get ready for acupuncture. Just wanted to check in.

Hello to all newbies (or second and third timers) and I am not ignoring the BC concerns just not putting in my 2 cents right now. What with the depreciation is only worth a half a cent by now. And with the way my brain is diminishing probably not even that!

Ooooh, mac, is that the view from your yard?  If so, thanks for sharing.  It looks like a good place to recuperate and I am glad your DD is on the mend.

Haven't heard that expression "according to Hoyle" for quite a while.  I do have a paperback of the book though.  Got it some years ago (before computer) so I could look up the rules to cribbage.  Now I have forgotten them again and will have to read it all again before I try playing again.  Now that I think of it, I forgotten rules to most card games.  Don't play any often enough.  If you don't use it, you lose it.

But not how to ride a bike!

Sorry…...

elimar86861

No big deal, cakes.  You don't have to have a frowny face.

yes e, that is the view from the front yard. I live in paradise. All these years I have been working so hard that some days I barely noticed. Now my life is much slower and I can stop and take pictures of what is passing by. 

Anyone here have experience with injections of Fragmin? It is a blood thinner. I have to give one to my daughter every day. ewwww! Nothing like making me the bad guy. I also have to compel her to do her therapy. So much fun. 

elimar86861

But one day, mac, you will have her grateful appreciation.  Also, can I summer at your place?

barsco1963

mac - a beautiful spot indeed! Someone has to be the "bad guy" huh? Like Eli says, your DD will (if she isn't already) be very grateful that you are there for her. We had just moved to a beautiful country spot just prior to my dx. A move that unknowingly would become one that would definitely aid in my recovery from mx. Still love sitting on the front porch or just wandering the yard.

I have been a lurker of late - checking in on a mostly daily basis. All is good on the bc front - Had ooph about a month ago both as a preventative measure and to be able to stop the zoladex injections. I will not miss those, that's for sure. Today I will be attending my first Roller Derby event (as a spectator not a participant). Should be fun - it is a fundraiser in honour of a fellow metster in the area with proceeds being split between a local oncology department and a youth mental facility.  

Hello and welcome to any newbies that have come along. The middies are a wonderful bunch full of spunk, knowledge, support and love.

elimar86861

Lurking, barsco, really?  Were you afraid we would all hop into your pocket for that ooph and create a scene?  Seriously, glad to hear from you, and I do hope the changes made will only make life all the easier.  Roller Derby is a quiet little storm out there and seems to be on the rise in popularity in the past decade.  I never went to one.  Did have a friend who was the team's yoga guru.  She made me brainstorm a "Derby name" for her.  Forget what we finally came up with, something like Yoga'na Feelgood.

I like the windmills. Every time I fly into Copenhagen, it makes me happy to see the windmills in the port:

Another installment of "Behind the Header Picture"...

When I was out walking earlier today, I was listening to The Moody Blues (unforgivably slighted by R&RHOF year after year) and in the song, "Dawning Is The Day" are the lyrics, "But still we are free, No one tells the wind which way to blow."(*)  Right on, oh bards of 60's orchestral prog. rock.  I was inspired to look for a picture to suit that feeling.  When I saw the windmills, I thought they were a good anthropomorphic representation of our wimmins on this thread.  

Glad you liked it, Mo.  (I never even saw the ariel view of Copenhagen before.)

(*)  I like that sentiment a lot and almost wanted to put it on my tag line, but then I'd have another thing to change all the time because I am fickle.

2TA,  There I was watching World Cup, never noticing the hidden camera!

Eph3_12

Rock & Rock Hall of Fame?

elimar86861

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (Cleveland, OH)

The hidden camera remark was for 2ta since she posted a candid photo of me on my red couch, watching the game.

(Of course that is way off-base.  Here's what a real hidden camera would have seen:  When Portugal got the first goal, I went straight into comfort eating of an ice cream sandwich.  After U.S. equalized I was up and shouting, doing a little jig that my DH hates so much he covers his eyes..  When U.S. got another to take the lead, I had too much adrenalin in me to even sit back down.  When Portugal got a tying goal in the last 20 sec, of the game, I needed a defibrillator and a Valium!  So, that popcorn munching Barbie is waaaaay too sedate an image.)

ha ha ha eli you crack me up!!!! 

I think I should host a get together, for sure. It is so beautiful here. I would love to share it with all of you.

I like the windmills, too. There has been a huge fight about putting some in this area, tho. No one wants them to spoil their view. I get mesmerized by them. Of course, lots of things mesmerize me. 

My DD is watching Vampire Diaries. Episode after episode.........    ack!

MameMe

I think I need to take a second look at pro soccer.....

Eph3_12

E-I watched also while Dad-sitting this afternoon (I was thankful that was on the books-they have ESPN, I don't) Game was super intense!  I was so happy @ 2-1 but screamed bloody murder at the tie!!  Egad....it was excruciating!

NativeMainer

Momine--that is one

barbe1958

Eli- Isn't it interesting how different people interpret the same picture differently?  When I saw your windmills header, while realizing I was looking at windmills, I also saw seven women reaching up to the sky...

Tomboy

Barbe1958!! are you teasing me?!! i meant barbie-DOLL!!! but was she born same year as you? i thought she was a 59 model... dont really know. okay, now i will always think of YOU as having permanently arched feet!! etc!!!

Tomboy

staynsane, been meaning to tell you, i love your avatar pic, and i DID 'try it at home'!!!

MinusTwo

staynsane - I love the 7 women image.  Thank for passing that on.

barbe1958

Sure, rub it in that I'm a year older than Barbie and SHE still has her breasts!
