    Hi ladies, I'm late checking in. Don't always post but always interested in what is going on.

    Smarty, so glad Evie is home and DGS has made such great progress. Is he having to deal with any pain?

    SC60, where in VA do you live? I live in DC. Welcome! These ladies are fantastic.

    Patty, how are you feeling today?

    Definitely think it was a staged Dove commercial. They're big in the it takes all kinds of women and they are all beautiful campaign. But even those don't seem to show anyone with say noticeable scar tissue, port wine stains, etc. They still fit into what society thinks is beautiful. Personally, I gave up on makeup years ago when I was an at-home mom. Was away from it long enough that when I did use it my face would start sweating. Pores told me they no longer liked being suffocated. I have become a this is who I am, if you don't like it - to bad. So, it was natural for me to decide to live my life flat 24/7.

    I'm still alive! Sorry I've been MIA!! No way I can catch up! Lot's going on and most of it negative, NO health problems, just life! I won't bore you with details! Just trying to keep myself busy to ward off depression!

    Glad to see the this thread still alive and well! One of these sleepless nights, I'll try to catch up a little!!

    Hope all had a Merry Christmas and are starting off the New Year with awesomeness!!

    It's snowing here. Started out hard and heavy and then tapered off.

    Just watched the video Sassy posted. I would choose Beautiful, not because I am physically beautiful (maybe pretty in my twenties or thirties, but now old, overweight, with only one boob, and don't wear makeup, just an ordinary old lady), but because I still see most things as beautiful, and feel beautiful too. Pretty opposite to my avatar Eeyore!

    Thank you for the welcomes!

    Kathy, I live in Western Tidewater 9 miles from NC and an hour to any mall. Basically "BFE". Not where I want to be, but I am trying to be grateful for what I have.

    Allie is my Great Dane. My DD's dog Ryan was the one who kept me up until 5:30 this morning. I still have no clue as to why. It was very weird.

    I am going to try and post as this is my third time trying and I hope the third time is the charm!

    SC60, not familiar with Western Tidewater area. Had cousins who lived in Norfolk/Portsmouth, Va. Norfolk cousins moved to Roanoke.

    Smaarty, you can overload me with Evie cuteness as much as you want. She is beautiful. I agree with Lover - wish there was a way to bottle baby smell. So relaxing to cuddle and smell them.

    Smaty - you can overload me too!!! She is so darn cute!

    Hope everyone is staying warm. It's like 12 degrees here. Ugh! Hubby says if I would just put on a little weight, I wouldn't feel it so much. Not!

    Hugs to all you beautiful ladies! xo

    Smaarty - You can overload me anytime. Don't get any baby time. None around me. Umm baby smell. Maybe we all need to douse ourselves with Johnson's baby powder (even though I know that's not the "baby smell" exactly)

    Was 64 or something like that here today with sun. Couple more days and then the bottom drops out. I've heard maybe or maybe not snow for Sat and Mon.

    Welcome SC60. Agree with Sassy. Might have been something outside. Gather that Allie has returned to her normal state.

    Hi Nettie. Welcome back to our craziness.

    Smaarty: not even close to overload.

    Luvmygoats: there's the baby smell but also the squashy limpness of sleep in our arms.

    PeppermintPatty: Off to keep myself properly warm. (pops eyebrows)

    In case anyone is interested in and has time to kill, this was my 2015, and why I was absent so much here. Glad to be back to spending a little time with you ladies:

    Offend anyone?? Girl, I am GLAD you feel better to think about the normal things that we take for granted. Did I tell you that....AHEMMM..,.DH was the one who found the lump? TMI huh? Scared me and himself yesterday when he thought he felt one on the remaining side. Now I am paranoid, but he doesn't know that.

    JWoo, 2016 has to be a better year for you. Wow!

    Smaarty, glad to see such good news from your family - Evie home, and your DGS ahead of schedule!

    Been super busy at work, giving math tests. They're computerized, so the kids actually like them (Math is fun? What's up with that?). It makes for long days, though, I have to be at work at 6, and on Monday night I had a policy meeting that didn't break up until 8:30. Nothing like these 14 hour days!

    I just wish DH's cataract surgery was over... I don't MEAN to worry, and wouldn't let him think I was, but I just am. Been giving him those eye drops, for 3 days, 4 times a day... Tomorrow we go in at 10:30.... I KNOW he will be able to see much better... just still worried about him since he passed out New Years Eve day...

    When things like that happen, it kind of shook us all up... thinking it could have been so much worse, and thankful that it wasn't... I WANT to take care of him... and feel so bad when things hurt him... Arthritis bothers him... but again..... things could be a lot worse.... right?

    Was nice to wake up to snow on the ground. It was just enough to turn the ground white, but I still want more!

    Aw Ms. Chevy, when the person we love so much hurts, we hurt with them. We worry and can't help it. You haven't been your usual self. Wishing you peace of mind so we can have our Ms. Chevy back( I know it's selfish). Imagine our arms wrapping around you. And a peck on the cheek.

    Deb, weight doesn't guarantee staying warm. If that were the case, to borrow Patty's phrase, I'd be hot, hot, hot - NOT. I'm more like the artic and getting worse every year. This has been going on for three years. I was someone who wore short sleeved blouses year round and didn't start wearing a jacket until temps got in the low 40s and it would be spring weight. Now, I am in fleece lined, long sleeved flannel shits and heavy pants.
