Quennie, YES, a very big pocket. We are mostly women of girth. Except for Loverly. She's this itty bitty teeny woman like I was in my 20's I have never seen those days again, drat. What procedure are you getting? Pretty sure it was the face. I need a chin tuck and upper and lower eyes. Make sure you stock up on frozen peas Way back when a gal here and On STFU had her eyes done the same day as her MX(BMX?). Not many PS's would do that. OKAY bringing the chocolate for your pocket party THURSDAY. Wrote Thursday large b/c I have a ten second memory.

Loverly, I left a message on PattyP's cell phone

sas-schatzi

Chevy how did your exam go today? Andre Rieu is such a cheerleader. I think of how stogie concerts were in the old times for the types of programs he is famous for, very fun

queenmomcat

First things first: hoping Miz Patty's doing OK!

Sas: no, my (whispers-thursday) surgery's a follow up to the medical surgeries for breast cancer--I ended up kinda funny looking, though most of my factory installed equipment remains. Though remembering "face" isn't totally out of the blue: I'm the one who got hospitalized (shudders) for erysipelas.

Laying in a supply of good chocolate and even better loose-leaf tea for the pocket party. Also willing to cater for others!

Spookiesmom

Amazing!! Thank you!! Do you believe the size of that concert hall?? DD thinks it's in Sydney, he does say the world famous Australian Pipe Band.

Spookiesmom

oh, you know, you know!!

Cubbie2015

Her account says she was on an hour ago. Maybe she is just lurking? Helloooo, Patty!

mostlymom

we lost our Jessie today. miniature australian shepherd, almost 12. she was in obvious pain and it was time. thank goodness for our daughter - she took her in and stayed with her. she was such a loving "velcro" dog. we're all heartbroken. This is a charcoal drawing DH did a few years ago.

Cubbie2015

MostlyMom, I'm sorry to hear of Jessie's passing. What a beautiful drawing. Do you have it framed? It seems like something that should be displayed in your house, especially now.

Jazzygirl

Mostlymom- so sorry to hear of the loss of your dear Jessie.

Enerva

mostlymom sorry to hear you dog is not well

It's is just too much to have to part apart from our pets.

Sending you lost of strength

Loveroflife

Mostlymom, that is a beautiful drawing of Jessie. It is crazy how they take a piece of us with them. Hugs.

Spookiesmom

Mostly, I'm so sorry. I had a black tri, he was 14. 1/2 when I pts. Darn near killed me, Aussies are soooo smart. 6 years later I still cry for him. I understand. Spookie, Kris and I send Huggies.

kathindc

Mostly mom, so sorry to hear about Jessie. Such a beautiful dog. It is very hard to lose a pet. They really do take a piece of our hearts with them.

Wren44

Mostlymom, So sorry to hear your news. It's so hard to lose them and your life will have an empty hole for a while. Hugs.

magdalene51

Aw, mostlymom that truly sucks big time! Those dad gum dogs crawl into your heart and tear it out of you when they go. I do believe we will have them all with us again.

Sassy, that is going to be one heckuva mess in that pocket! With all of us ladies of girth smooshing poor Loverly, and our hot flashes melting the chocolate, and tea leaves all over the darned place. But I'm still game.

Big day tomorrow, so of course I can't get sleepy. Blood draw at 8:45, MO at 9, PCP at 10:30, endocrinologist at 1:30. And I have to drive myself. On top of that I've had a booger of a headache since yesterday afternoon. With nausea. Just shoot me now.

Loveroflife

Aw Mag, I hope they are all located in one facility. Hoping for no technical difficulties after you are done with all your appointments.

No worries Mag. I can still jump. I will be ok as long as no one eats gas producing foods.

Ms. Chevy, your appointment went ok?

Ms. Sas, I was like a stick in my teen years and early 20's.

shycat

mostlymom, my heart grieves for you.

Chevyboy

So sorry Mostly....... I think we are all pet lovers, and it just hurts....... I love your stories Shy!

And Mags, WHAT are you doing? You ain't supposed to shoot yourself.... okay? Let us know what your appointments had to say.

Mine went good... just a mini-physical.... Mostly just talked and listened, and since I don't take any meds for anything.... I mean other than the occasional Aleve for my knee... I take nothing. So no prescrips..... and no blood-work.... In other words she can't find anything wrong.... HAH!

Spookie, I think that one link, "Amazing Grace" was from the Amsterdam Arena..... Such a beautiful setting!

Yes Peppermint was posting on the 4th... I don't have her phone number............just a little worried..... even though she said she was going home.

Did you see where the K's named their son Saint West???? OMG that is bizarre... ! I'm surprised Kanye hasn't changed his name to K the Great! That family is ALL just over the top.... I heard somewhere that "Caitlyn" will go back to being a guy, ( which is more or less what he still is), and Kris Jenner will become "Carl" Kardashian...... See, they have this need to do ANYthing to stay in the news. NOTHING about that family would surprise me.

Chevyboy

I forgot to mention.... Have any of you had a booster pneumonia shot? I had one about 12 years ago, and wondered if the PC is right, that I could get another shot? And have you had any problems with a second shot?

Spookiesmom

I had the shot about 3 months ago, no problems. I've had pneumonia 5 times, so more than happy to get the shot.

DD thinks it was in Sydney, have a message out to Aussie friend. Not all the clip was in the same place and he does say the world famous Australian pipe band. DD thinks they might be Victoria Police band they've won World competition a few times. In Glasgow.

shycat

Chevyboy, this summer my PCP recommended that I get the new Prevnar 13 pneumonia vaccine even though I'd already had the (I think) Pneumovax shot four years ago. I finally got around to getting it done last month. I had no problems with it other than the usual slightly sore arm for a day or two.

sas-schatzi

Got a PM from Patty this morning "Got your phone message. Not up to talking tonight. Thanks for checking on me. I haven't logged on since sat I think. Just wore out. Sleeping a lot. Wbc still low. Will feel better when we get it increased. Check it again Wed. In the meantime I am confining myself to the house with no company. Will you tell everyone hey. I'll check back soon "

Love ya'll " (PP)

Jazzygirl

Good morning friends- woke up to the most amazing sunrise this morning that had my house glowing pink. It was really beautiful! The gifts of nature......

Mags- I hope you are feeling better today and able to get through the apts without too much trouble. Sounds like you have a migraine

Chevy- glad your apt went okay. I had the first shot awhile back and probably younger than most due to asthma, but nothing since. Probably not old enough for the booster yet?

Sassy- thanks for letting us know about Patty. I bet she is exhausted from lack of sleep in the hospital. I hope she is resting well at home and will be back with us soon.

Wrapping up some contract stuff and planning to start my new gig tomorrow. Busy, busy. Talk to you all again soon and have a good day.

Jazzygirl

Sunrise I was talking about. Not my shot, but from the local TV channel KOBTV post.

sas-schatzi

Mags felling better. Pocket party for you today TOO> Buzy week for pockets.

Mostly mom sorry for your loss. We are with you. Jessie was a beauty.

Chevy, Pneumovax and Prevnar are different. Pneumovax is 2 shots over X time. First it was once, then one and one in ten years, then one and one in 6 years, then one and one in five years. The variabilty in time was based on evaluating immunity by blood measurements monitor by CDC..

Without taking another look. Pneumovax protects against 23(21) types of bacteria,(number could be a bit different). Prevnar is 13(tada).

I encourage any one getting chemo to get the pneumovax, prevanar, shingles shot, flu and updates on tetanus. In 2006 I got an update on MMR not sure why. Mumps, measles, Rubeolla. May have been a scare locally. I've even had the meningococcal in 2003, but it would have to be updated.

I have also had Hep B which is required of all health care workers and included in kids vaccines for years. I have also had Hep A vaccine. Hep A is the one most commonly passed by restaurant workers. I eat out a lot. made me feel more secure. Knew two people when I was young that died of Hep A. A mother and son. When it became available I got it right away.

Considered the whooping cough vaccine. Will likely get it if either and outbreak and definitely when Steve has kids.

If I was starting out with kids now, I get the vaccines, but slow down the time a bit.

I'm a believer in vaccines being a polio survivor. The Polio vaccine wasn't available when we had it.

Jazzy Wow, is there a storm coming?

Sky, loved your stories. Smart Loki to figure out that Rikki was afraid of the box turtle.

HI ENERVA

Jazzygirl

Sassy- no storm right now, that was just our winter skies doing their thing. These colorful sunrises and sunsets are more common this time of the year. I think it just has to do with where the sun is, the colder air, etc.

We hear there may be snow coming this weekend. We are due for some moisture!
