the blinking machine ate another post.  after this I think I should give up........

rosemary-b, get the drugs.  get lots of drugs.  stress is bad for you and worrying does nothing positive or useful. take drugs until you are done with scans.

I have my useful drugs in my bag.  I will take them a hour or hour and a half before I go to the BigBoobieSquishDown. .. .wait! thats misleading. . . .I sorely lack BigBoobies so they can't be squished down....oh what the hell, BigSquishDownForLittleBoobies!  There.  Must have accuracy on the internet. . . . 

I have an idea.  I will take a pill at 12:30 and write a post!  then in another 30 minutes, I will write another post.  And thirty minutes after that, another.  You guys can monitor if the pills are working by the quality of the posts--you know, lucidity and grammer and stuff like rambling on. . .

Wait.  I just realized something.  We lack a baseline for me as to clear, lucid and concise posting.  never mind. . . .

Food for thought.

First I had the whole address wrong then

I can't seem to make a link from my Mac to here. Not sure why, so if anyone can help me that would be great 

Blue let me know if this worked or if you had to copy and paste it.

As you can see I am a computer Stooge

Thanks guys, for making me feel not fat. You are right, the dresses are too small. Haaaaa. I have a plan B, just different dresses.

About to do a con call and get my a$$ handed to me. Did I mention I hate my job? Bye for now.

bluedahlia

This is the message I got with that link.

The video you have requested is not available.

If you have recently uploaded this video, you may need to wait a few minutes for the video to process.

OMG 3monstama....step AWAY from the internet!  LOL.  Glad the pills are working for you.  :-)

As a note to our merry band of evil lurkers, "enjoyless" as a hurtful nickname doesn't really cut it. Surely you can do better than that?  Here, I'll give you one:  "Enjoyfool."  

Good Lord.

bluedahlia

E, you're just an old timer hippie.  We don't know anything and even when we answer, they don't see it.  Goes right over their heads!

Enjoyful

Hippie?  That's right, an old-timer CPA hippie.  My spreadsheets are tie-dye.

bluedahlia

Groovy Man.  Send in the fleas.

Enjoyful

Dude!  That's my BF!

tee, hee, enjoyfool = YOU'RE THE BEST!  Hope you're loving your vacation.  Didn't know we even rated having nicknames - seriously?  How can folks be that obsessed with our little happy group of old hippies?  I remember seeing Peter, Paul & Mary at the Bitter End in Greenwich Village in New York = does that date me?

Enjoyful

Yes.  Yes it does.  :-D

bluedahlia

E, you're a hoot!

Bren~

Laughed out loud about your trees.

We are the last ones on the block with our huge oak in the front yard.

All the others have had theirs taken out.

I always really enjoyed The Lorax as a child.

208sandy

E, Blue, Rosemary you're all crazed and I love you for it.

Barbara - you are NOT fat - good Lord child you look like you need to eat. 

208sandy

HL - forgot you - didn't mean to - you sound like you're doing great and looking forward to a fun vacation.

Bren-2007

Enjoyfool .. you're cracking me up.  I must be missing something.  Do I need to read elsewhere to catch up?  Haven't had the time to visit our friends recently on the other site.

Ang .. Mr. Tim threatens to have that oak taken out all the time.  We did get a $650 estimate to take out the two chestnut trees and trim back the oak.  It would cost a fortune to have the oak removed.  It's going to stay ... and I'm going to just keep complaining about cleaning up after it!

Hope everyone is enjoying their day.

Bren, missed 'seeing' you around. You've been busy. Enjoyfool, love the new 'axe'. Suits your humour. Have a great time on vaca. Sandy, 125 is where I have maintained for about the last 30 years si I guess that is where I need to be. Dresses be damned and I will take them to the dressmaker and see if we can adjust them to the real me. But not before a week from Sunday.  HL. I am so glad to see you feeling better and better. That surgery was very significant and even with your propensity for 'issues' you sailed through!! Bravo!! Ang, I loved the Lorax. SunFl, I am an old hippie, too. Hoo baby, you don't even want to Know. Blue, that dude looks like Howie, my boyfriend in 1967.

3monst, take another one!! Its Friday night!!

Cherryl, how 'bout a Dewars up with a twist?

1Athena1

My my my....busy time at the Serengetti....lots of vultures and hyenas about. Damned pests! :-)
Anyone got Raid or something? Hugs to fellow thread regulars. Very busy week. About time Americans learned to protest.

bluedahlia

Maybe HL can order some Zombie-pruf?

Good Luck 3mons.

1Athena1

Excellent.

Haven't the foggiest what this is about - and yet I do. It's always the same.

It's Friday, so I will say something crazy. I rather miss Kadaffi (Quaddafi, Kadafy, Quadaffy) in a strange way. He was the dictator everyone loved to hate. Whom should the US focus on now? I am not banking my hopes on the new government.

Bren, I hope you can post a picture of autumn at your place. E, whose fool fingers have more brains that some people's entire voting blocs, - can't wait to see your pictures! 

crazy4carrots

Did you know there are some 73 different ways of spelling Qadhafi's name?  (Oops, that might make it 74).  I heard an interview on BBC News about a correspondent who met with him twice over the years. The first time, Q farted all the way through the interview, and the second time, he hooted out loud after every serious question.  Other than being a lout of the first order, I do believe he was quite off his rocker.

3Mons -- hoping for painless squishing and clean, clear results, or at least a "who cares" sort of squishing and clean, clear results.

Enjoy"fool" -- enjoy your South American venture and stay on the lookout for the drug lords!  Hasta la vista, baby! 

3monstmama

Hi guys!  it was a "who cares" kind of squishing and they found diddly!  Okay I am being directed to have an MRI but thats par for the course.

DH had dark chocolate waiting when I came out and then we headed straight to a favorite cupcake joint to grab dessert so the monsters can celebrate too. Yippee!

Lindasa the many ways of spelling Qadaffis name are related to the fact that Arabic and English (or French or German) have no one to one translation. So you get all these variants and for the most part, each is as reasonable as the next.  On the bright side, if you are majoring in International Affairs and the events and politics of the Middle East are a core part of your coursework.  you are unlikely to get marked down for spelling his name wrong. 

I remember studying all of those countries, all of the politics and all of the leaders.  He was awful and scary 30 years ago and he never changed.  Who would have imagined he would have lasted so long?  I confess I was surprised.

RetiredLibby

Blue, not sure if Zombie-pruf will work. Maybe some Meanaway or NastBgone.... Sour grape scent works well for the NastBgone.



Enjoyfool, you brilliant woman you!



Linda, I remember when we were young and thought Qadafi was handsome. Insane, but handsome. Do I recall correctly that Orianna Falacci bragged about sleeping with him? Ugh... The thought is more than cringe-worthy.



Hi, Athena ... Wondered where you were.



Thanks, 208Sandy! Hi to Sunflowers, 3m (hope you're enjoying post-squishing pleasant drug haze), Pickle.



Thanks for the encouraging words, teenyBarbara... It is amazing that my comorbidities didn't kick up, isn't it? Even the wound is starting to fall into line!



Ang & Bren, I have 4 of those big Arlington oaks in my back yard and another 4 in others' yards right at my fence line. When we rake the leaves out front for the leaf-sucking truck, they make a pile as big as our Dodge Ram 2500 x-cab heavy-duty 4x4 with a grille guard. One year we bagged them (only one year) into 125 bags. Thank FSM for the leaf-sucking truck.



Hi to anyone I missed & hugs to all!

Where's our Susie?

3monst.........YAY!

I'm tired tonight so gonna chill out.

suzieq60

Hi girls, I'm here and in a really bad mood Cranky about having to do those tests. Also biting my tongue and not telling DH is really difficult.

Just got home with the groceries, nearly time to make lunch.

I used to be a hippy, but wasn't very successful as I was always too neat, but I did wear cheesecloth and indian sandals and still like patchouli oil to wear. Loved Woodstock (have the original album still) etc.

Now I work for a Bank/Insurance Co, have some shares in it and don't pay fees on my everyday account (a perk). The banking situation is a lot different here - we have stronger regulations and none of them went bust. I must say my employer is the best I've ever had in my life and I was very well looked after during the whole bc/return to work thing. It is not one of the major banks (big four - as we call them here), but more a state bank that grew out of a building society.

There have been violent clashes with the police/occupy people in Melbourne - they removed them from the square where they were protesting. Our newspaper said there were 100 in our city, more like 25 from what I could see during the week. They just sit around doing nothing much except kill the grass they pitched their tents on. I'm all for protests but they don't have the same reasons as your protesters at all. Employment here is quite good, unemployment benefits are paid for as long as they are unemployed, they get free medical etc they really have nothing to complain about.

Hope you all have a great weekend and i'll try and get into a better mood

rosemary-b

Just saying hi. I had a great today but am too tired to  post any more.

Behave yourselves...oh that's just silly. Have fun all you hippies.

otter

HappyLibby, do you have some MeanAway?  Where can you buy it?  I'd like to get some in aerosol form, if possible, plus some tablets I can slip unnoticed into someone's beverage.  Hmmm.... maybe it can be mixed and baked into brownies, like .... oh, never mind.

I consider myself lucky, because I seem to have misplaced the bookmarks/favorites that reminded me where my "miscellaneous" websites were located.  I still have my other web address bookmarks.  It's the handful of questionable ones I don't have anymore -- the ones that made me wonder why I ever bothered to visit those websites in the first place. You know... those.

We watched "Unstoppable" (Netflix) tonight. It was the 2010 freight train movie starring Denzel Washington, not the 2004 spy story by the same name starring Wesley Snipes.  Not a bad flick.  (Edited to delete a comment that might have been a spoiler.)

We had our first frost last night, and it's supposed to freeze hard tonight.  The days could not be better, though... bright, warm sunshine, blue skies -- fantastic weather for working outside.

Don't forget the Orionid meteor shower tonight (early tomorrow morning, actually -- between 3 a.m. and sunrise).  Look toward the constellation "Orion" -- they'll be coming from his right shoulder.  The meteors are dust from Halley's Comet.  Cool, eh?  Here's more about it, from the Washington Post.

G'night, all!  (G'morning, Susie!)
