Sas- The actor was Travis Fimmel. Next to Chris Hemsworth, he is a yummy slice of pie!!!!

Lover: awww, too bad you didn't get to check whether "floffty hair" has the same effect on (Southern?) California courts as it does on SW Michigan's. I apologize for disappearing off 20 Question's radar--I've been gardening and figuring out how to clean the outside of windows that are either a) on the second story, in the absence of an extension ladder and a head for heights and/or b) facing screens that are spot welded into place by rust. Let me get back to that!

And yeah, that picture of you three at lunch! I'm jealous of both the chance to meet others from the boards here and the chance to eat Asian food that's way more authentic than what I can get here. (The number of Asians--all types--in the county where I live is minuscule; I think I figured out it works out to be two families and a couple of random cousins.)

Loverly, we have 5 acres, 2 acers haven't been cleared yet. I'd like to get the back 1.5 acres fenced in for goats, but my priority list doesn't match my DH's so I wait. By the time we get to the fence I will have lost my interes in goats. I'm also waiting for my chicken coop to be redone. The roof and framing are really strong but the barn wood sides and some of the flooring is rotted. Maybe one of these days?

Sensi, I just want to give you and Chance a big hug! (((((Sensi/Chance)))))

Shep, I love your new avatar

Mama raccoon brought her kits by to visit last night. They were hilarious to watch! They come in all shades from dark to blonde! I actually got one to come over to the door so I could get a closer look. What a cutie! I told my DD that I'll put the air mattress in front of the patio doors so my DGC can lay there and watch them. I'll stop feeding them once all our summer visitors head home and they will return to the woods.

Wenchie ~ OMD..... Raccies! I loooove raccies. Never have seen any blondies, neat! FYI, Even though they greatly enjoy it, don't feed them dog food. Too much of it becomes toxic to their internal organs. Unless they find better eats elsewhere, you are now a permanent servant. Raccies are sticklers for keeping a proper schedule ; the first time you try to skip a meal you will have a knock on your door. Our crew would come in through the doggie door to "check" on us! People think of raccoons as being strictly nocturnal - not true. They will adjust for dining opportunities. The poor mommas will sneak out for food when their young babies are sleeping. Those raccie dads are no help at all! Please, please take lots of pics to share with us (me!)

I apologize if you have read this before.

Loverly- not yet, it was ordered 2 weeks ago today, and they expected to take 6-7 weeks to arrive from CA, but they said it could be sooner. I expect middle to end of July it will be set up in the backyard. Will be sure to share photos! I am excited and may plan an August patio party!

Loverly ewwwwwwww! I bring my loo with me....

This is from 2005. Our first big trip in the Loo Van.... we went to VA to pick up DSD and then to DC. The boys were soo young! The man was not yet a full fledged fart face. Fun time and camped at a lovely Marriott that was downtown DC. Really cool old building that had previously been a post office.

Edited 'cuz I remembered what year it was

ShepK, I got a good laugh reading description of the stuffed chicken toy:

Queenie, it's Northern California. Southern Californians are different species. You should train your helpers to clean the windows for you.

Oh never mind, I forgot who is the master.

Lori, I would be scared of those critters. They are smart. One time at camping we forgot to keep a carton of eggs and left it out on the pinic bench. In the morning as I was getting ready to make breakfast I found empty cracked egg shells and their paw prints all over.They didn't save us any!

I have read that raccoon poop has something in it that isn't good for dogs. Can't remember what it was. Raccoons will sometimes attack cats and dogs and the can or dog loses. We try to discourage them from our yard. Hard to do because they're all over the neighborhood. The other wildlife problem in Seattle is coyotes. They are everywhere and think cats and dogs are snacks. They will play with a dog and coax it away into the woods. End of dog. Eagles will also pick up cats and dogs to feed their babies. It's a dangerous world out here.

Enjoying an ice quiet day at home, just bumming around and dong things that we had been planning to do for a while.

ShepKi: I like the stuffies but I like your new avatar better. Could never figure out what were in your first avatar, too dark to see.

Loverly, I will try to drop in sometime, if the wind blows this way! I am a reader not much a writer! Always enjoy your posts. I also miss Chevy's posts.

JunnieB, wish you a comfortable stay in SNF. Hi to other owlettes!

sas-schatzi

Shep there's more to your son's story, but it'd take way to long to write. If you want to talk, PM me. What I'd need is his hx of symptoms. I'm a good House , LOL. Seriously, I can help with stuff.

Loverly, YES, BOGUS. I just about died b/c I had posted on the TNBC, bone mets and June surgery threads. This gal that writes articles on a cancer foundation site, wrote a protocol for surgery. It hasn't been trialed yet. She presented it as acceptable action. Had to revise the whole topic box and do a Mea Culpa. There are oodles and oddles of epidemiology studies. There is one trial going on now. We can approach it as we did Toradol.

Sensi,(love the hair), Loverly, and Smarrty One of the best meet and greet pics on BCO. maVehloUs ladies

Sensi and Shep Love the new avatars

Toys for Furbabies. A great place to get stuffed toys that are good for being torn to bits when the mood strikes them is the thrift stores. 25C-1$. I just throw them in the washer and off they go or used to. Neither are into toys much anymore.

LOve all the raccoons

My Jackson loves to make holes in his toys. He has one toy that I have sewn up the holes many times that he loves and naps with in the colder weather days

Acck.... just took my first fall getting out of the tub. Does this look broken? Can't show off what else I busted open...... not a place I want stitches ewwwwwwww

Sas ~ PMing you

Lookforward

Shep that looks painful, I hope nothing is broken. Take care, maybe it is a bad sprain

Loveroflife

Oh my dear ShepK!! If there is a lot of swelling and is painful to walk, most likely it's broken. Have you been icing it? I would go in to have it checked and have your back X-Ray also. Ouch !So sorry.

Holeinone

Shep, YIKES ! that looks so painful....elevate & ice.....you have cute little feet by the way

Good evening ladies,

Lookin - Love the selfie. Hope you enjoyed your trip.

P.T. about did me in on Thursday. Could barely walk on Friday, plus fatigue was overwhelming. Slept majority of the day.

MOmmy - Yum! Fresh strawberries.

The frozen peaches sound amazing too. The food here at SNF is ALL processed. So the canned peaches I was served at dinner were not palatable at all.

Smaarty, Loverly & Sensi - So glad you girls had a great time at lunch. I totally vote for a get together at some point.

Sas - Thanks for the directions. Once I get home I will do that. Incision is healing well & drainage has all but stopped.

Shep - Ouch!!!!!! Falling is so frightening. Hope your back is ok, and your foot isn't broken. Do you have a rubber mat in your tub, rug next to it?

Nooooo stuffies. Only the real Marti & Prison!

The raccoons are cute, but dangerous to family pets.

I guess that's all for now. Fatigue still getting me. I've forced myself to walk the length of the hallway several times today.

JunieB

Shep - I apologize for the auto correct it has changed your kitty's name 4 times to prison. I give up.

JunieB ~ "prison"..... I laughed so hard I snorted! While sitting in the wheelchair wating for the X-rays 😂

WenchLori

Oh my gosh Shep! OUCH!! It looks very painful and I hope it's not broken! Did you get results from your x-rays yet? Ooooh maaan!

I loved your visitor Miss Pris had! I try to pick up the cat food when the coons stop by. I put out corn, sunflower seeds, peanuts and such. I have a few younger ones that sneak in during the day and get the cat food and the bird seed in my bird feeder. Sneaky little things! I was watching when the kits showed up tonight. They raced over to the feed dishes and they sounded like a heard of elephants! Blondie is the one trying to get in the door to hug (bite) me! So cute

WenchLori

My brain is a bit fried tonight! I've spent yesterday and most of today getting my medical record files organized. I read thru the record keeping thread on here for ideas and I finally have everything in order. I also went to the endocrine website Sas recommended, a wealth of information coming from one person! So much to learn! Thank you Sas!

got home a little over an hour ago. nurse said nothing broken in my foot. she also told me people with bone mets shouldn't take anti-inflammatory meds. got the X-rays on a DVD for my doc to double check. got new crutches too. plan on sleeping laaate........

queenmomcat

Thanks for the updates, Shepkitty. Glad you did go to the ER for that, and even gladder it wasn't broken! No anti-inflammatories? did the nurse suggest anything in their place?

Hubby woke up to Princess whacking him in the head with her paw as she was stretching this morning. I couldn't scold her as it was so adorable but what a wake-up call for her Daddy on Father's Day. She apologized by giving him kisses after she got her morning treats.
