Sas - Wonder where that foot went to.

I looked it's still there....................

Serious though, if that was a for real human eating we would have heard about it. They become legend. People throw stuff at alligators to create pics like that.

PattyPeppermint

jazzy. Funny croc pic I laughed out loud, for real

Susan. Great pic. You are so beautiful. Never would have guessed you take chemo looking that great. Love the baby bump.

It's been warm here and now a cold front today and tomorrow. High in the low 50's. Brr. Not spring break weather.

Hootie hoo

Loveroflife

Susan, Claire is truly radiant. Cute couple.

JunieB, waiting is hard. I'm a compulsive person. It takes a lot of discipline to be patient. I'm still being disciplined. Haha. Good to hear your dizziness has improved. Once in awhile I do get dizzy if I turn my head too fast, usually to the left or right. I might have pepples in my head. Hopefully, they don't grow into rocks

Mitzy's skin is still dry, but not as bad as before, possibly because it's warmer now and the heater is not constantly on. I think the Manuka honey is working. I have a peace of mind putting it on her because I don't have to worry about her licking it. Have not given her a bath for three weeks-the longest since we had her. I'm glad I haven't been able to smell because of my congestion. Ha! She has been scratching herself the last few days, so she is getting a bath tomorrow. We have a wedding to go today.

Jazzy, have fun.

Feline, Happy Easter! You are seven hours ahead of us right?

Loveroflife

Okay, the weirdest thing happened. I'm glad I screen shot it.

Do you notice anything weird with that post? Here is another one.

Jazzy had my avatar and Feline hadJazzy's. Mine, instead of the current one, it was this chimpanzee picture magnified and was outside of the avatar box. I told you gals we have a cyber troll.

PattyPeppermint

weird. I didn't even notice it. ????

PattyPeppermint

lovey. Easter is next week. Lol

Loveroflife

Well, I did that on purpose to see if you pay attention.Hahahahaha Thank you Patty. You're right. I shall blame it on my head cold. Several months ago I went to not just mine but my daughter's doctor appointment one week early. I'm in trouble now. Not even retired yet and already have my days mixed up. Happy Early Easter then Feline. Ireland is 7 hours,not 7 days ahead.

sas-schatzi

Well, glad Patty figured it out. I thought Easter was next week. Was going to check the calendar, then forgot.

queenmomcat

Lover: it's all the pepples in our heads. Much worse than the pixie dust I've got in mine.

queenmomcat

And still gotta get my own avatar.....

Ok so what the heck is Xanax for again. Valium obviously the way to go. I need a mental break. I cannot turn it off. PTSD.??? Has anyone had Herceptin more than once .

I want a remission.

funthing42

Great I put everyone to sleep. Lol

PattyPeppermint

funthing. I have no experience with it

Loverly too funny.

Did I miss jazz's haunted stories ???

Hootie hoo

PattyPeppermint

ok I must be losing it.

On Thursday night I cooked two suppers because I had laid some meat out to thaw and didn't feel like cooking a couple days in a row. We were to eat the spaghetti meal on Thursday and save the shake and bake chicken meal on Friday. Everyone but me was out and about doing their own thing last night so I put it off til tonight. I couldn't find it in the fridge anywhere today. I took everything out , twice , and still no luck. Finally gave up and decided just to have some frozen pizza for a quick meal. When I opened the oven I found the chicken. Can yall say. Ewww. Gross. Luckily I didn't draw any bugs in our house and their was no smell for some reason. I had throw it all away grr. Hate my darn memory. Not sure if it's age , stress or pain meds I can't remember anything. Hate it. Dss and dh got a good laugh at me. Good thing I have thick skin swear now dss are only saying I knew or agreed to stuff just to get what they want. I may have to start recording my conversations lol.

Anyone else losing it ??

Funthing, Xanax is a very quick acting anti-anxiety medication. It doesn't last very long. Valium is also anti-anxiety and lasts longer. I would stay away from Xanax; it can be addicting. I think Valium can be also over time, but as long as you take it as prescribed you can avoid problems. There are a couple of others that can be prescribed.

I went to the internet to find out when Easter is. I thought it was another week.

Patti, Don't feel too bad. DH has done very similar things and he's never had chemo.

JunieB

No Patty you are NOT alone. I have done things like getting frantic because I couldn't find my eye glasses that I was still paying off, only to realize that I was seeing quite well, because my glasses were on my face. Or like yesterday when I got home from volunteering and was tired, and couldn't find my house keys. checked all 6 pockets and my walker, checked pockets AGAIN, then finally found my keys in one of my hoodie pockets. Go figure!

Also Patty, because of the similarity of mine and Jazzygirls sign-in names I am going by JunieB now to lessen any confusion.

Lookforward & Susan - I started back to knitting on a baby blanket I'd started awhile back that I'd put down because I'd made a mistake and couldn't figure out where. So when I started back on it earlier in the week, and had knitted another 18 rows of 200 stitches each, I realized the pattern didn't look right still. So I looked again and then realized that I had started on the wrong row of the pattern, and I spent several hours last night undoing those 18 rows (3,600 stitches) to get back to where I'd started again. Now lets hope I get back on track and actually continue in a forward direction towards completion.

Lookforward

I did the same today, ran around looking for my glasses that were on my face. I was much worse when I was working, now I have less stress and worries and my mind doesn't wander as much.

JunieB congrats on the puppy. Did you say what type of breed you are getting? My dog is fifteen and has a Torn ligament . The vet said it would take 5-6 weeks to heal. It's coming up to four weeks now and he is doing a little better. I have spent the last three days ripping out my knitting stitches, very frustrating.

This is me when I try to knit

Hello, Owlettes!!!

Just popping in to say hi.... been reading but not posting.

I remember the time I almost threw a hissy fit because I was trying to use my big plastic hand mirror and it wasn't working. No image at all. I remember thinking "THIS STUPID THING IS BROKEN!" Then I realized I was looking at the back side, not the mirror side. Duh.

Sweet dreams, everyone!

xoxoxo

PattyPeppermint

Junieb. Got it. Thanks

Lol glad to see I am not alone.

Gm all.

JunieB

Lookforward - I am getting a Cairn Terrier. Just like Toto from the Wizard of Oz.

Don't let the knitting get to you. You CAN do it. Just read the pattern instructions closely, take it slow, review on-line tutorials if needed and keep plugging on. I repeat "YOU CAN DO IT!"

Oh dang! just checked breeder's web-page, she has a new stud and he's cute as the dickens!

Catch you later!

queenmomcat

Lookforward: my sympathies about wrestling with knitting patterns. I've knitted for years, and am boggled by the bedspreads my grandmother tossed off for her grandchildren.

Just back from lovely brunch w/Susan3 at local greasy spoon diner. Hadn't been there in, what, fifteen years? they redecorated, except for the bathroom, which looks exactly like it did back then, except the spot right in front of the toilet's worn down through another layer of linoleum. Whoof. Food's still just as good. But no pictures, so you'll all just have to take my word for it that I did get my hair to lie down.

Loveroflife

Loveroflife

Queenie.....but I like the spiky hair. Greasy Spoons sounds like a yummy place to have brunch, but do you need Mylanta or Tums afterwards?

Patty, I put milk carton on my pantry shelf before, but have not stored uncooked chicken in the oven (yet).

queenmomcat

(teasing/amused) Don't worry, Lover--I know you do like the floffty "enraged cockatiel" look.

But yes: it's very much a Tums sort of greasy spoon diner. Very popular--good thing Susan overestimated how long it'd take her, so we got in before the after-church set.

Loveroflife

Queenie, I do, I do.

Funthing, so sorry to hear the cancer is back in your nodes. With your situation, I agree with Ms. Wren that Valium works better. Didn't have to do Herceptin as per my MO the risk of side effects outweighs the benefit. Best wishes on your treatment and yes, remission. May your oncology team have the wisdom to shut down the STUBBORN buggars!
