INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

M0mmy ~ Geez, this election has really brought out the worst in people. (sigh) Here's some ideas to keep your signs safe. I blocked out the candidate names to avoid political fussing....

Loverly ~ Awwwww...... Mitzy has her bed with her. Always easier for the doggies when they have something from home. She looks confident and at ease in the 2nd photo. Pretty girl! I'm sure she will be her usual lovie self with DD1 now that she has settled in. It's so confusing when your people aren't where they normally are supposed to be!

Marti is useless as a guard dog too - unless she is protecting the kitty. The bad guys are scared of the size and the breed........ just stand straight and "pretend" Mitzy is a trained attack dog! I use a very subtle hand command for Marti to "speak". One fella liked to pee himself as he tripped over his feet, scrambling to back away as fast as he could. "Missus, don't put that dawg on me! Please, please, I'm movin' on!" Very effective, even with my goof happily wagging her tail 😂

Enjoy your time together and stay safe!

Susan, where is your smile?

Yes ShepK, elections do bring the worst in people. We only put up a sign once. We were the only one on our street with a different view which was ok. It was DH's idea. I would rather have a pink flamingo on my lawn. You silly girl. You blocked the signs, but forgot the colors. Haha

We are still in Oakland waiting for the relay. Here is a pic of DD.

Susan ~ What a little cutie! Nice picture of Elena and Shelby too☺

susan3

I am looking down.....how do you know I am not smiling ??.so,you like that better. I am looking old...yuc

susan3

lover, your dog is gorgeous

Smaarty

Susan, great pic of you both. You're not looking old. Maybe tired, but definitely not old. Don't remember if you have said your age but I think you look great.

I just mailed cards to Wench and Hin1. Hopefully I'll hear back. So I'll let you know if I can give out their address or not.

Jean, Sensi and Lover. Lunch still on for Friday? Jean, you get to decide and let me know if you need a ride. I'm closer to you then Lover.

Susan - great picture. You look lovely.

Shep love the ideas for keeping yard signs safe! We do not do this whole Yard sign thing in this part of the world. (Only have dustbin thieves instead).

Beautiful Picture Susan

Smaarty

Evie last month. Found this at my dd yesterday. Large canvas pic. They will be back in 2 weeks. And she started crawling.

We also had a new baby last week from my nephew. He's a very young grandpa now! That's three girls in 9 mos for fifth generation for my mom. I doubt if I'll ever she her, they live in Tahoe and don't do much with the family. We didn't even know she was pregnant.

feelingfeline

Another beautiful picture!

Jazzygirl

Love all the baby photos, grandmother photos, stories of more babies that have arrived! Susan, nice smile in that last one!

Shep- thanks for the compliments. I have a few more to put on the drinking thread before I am done. Finished uploading the rest to FB and busy getting caught up at home. I need to shift gears and go exercise next!

Loverly thinks I was scouting for a hot man in the city! They are all fabulous and young and not interested in this old stuff!

M0mmyof3

Shep- the sign ideas made me smile and laugh! I needed that!

susan3

Evie is precious. Elena didn't have enough hair for bows. Here is a pic of first food...sweet potatoes.

susan3

thanks guys....5 years of chemo has taken its toll. I look like my mom, and she is in her 80s. Yeah, I am always tired...but keep on pushing through. Got a lot of doc appts coming up. Fingers and toes crossed.

Have a great Sunday all

Go Cubs!!!!!

Saw 21 games one year with my friend. That's when it was affordable:)

Fun for the city

Jazzygirl

Susan- Elena not so sure about those sweet potatoes?

These drugs we take for cancer do age us. The AIs are taking their toll this way.

sensitivehrt

Happy Sunday all.

PoppyJQ

Susan3 - Yes go Cubs! Both of my diagnosis have come at this time of year and the playoffs are a great distraction. Of course being a Giants fan 2012 was a much better time than 2016 but we are loving rooting for the Cubs this year. And loving your baby pictures!

Sensy, smarty, loverly - I think I'll be ok for lunch friday ... had hoped to feel a bit better but see the doctor tomorrow and will hopefully be encouraged that all is progressing. Can feel some fluid building up now that the drains are out, worried how much is too much. I guess they just stick a needle in and drain it? Oh for the days of no more poking! Restaurant choices - can i pick next time when I know who I'm dealing with here?? Or maybe choose from a few of your favorites in Elk Grove?

queenmomcat

Susan3: another "Elena not entirely sure about sweet potatoes?" over here.

Sensi: (mesmerized, drooling) Coffee maker. Right. What?

Anonymous

Ooooh.....I used to have a coffee maker just like that many years ago ....`cept mine was the blonde version. It got a little wonky after a while and I had to scrap it

Smaarty

Jean, if your doc has to remove fluid it shouldn't hurt. That area is now numb. I had to do both sides once a week for one month. Are you driving now?

I LOVE the coffee pot!

Anonymous

I always did want a tea cozy...........

tangandchris

Has anyone heard from Holeinone....she used to be a regular here. She hasn't logged on in over a month and I'm worried about her. Anyone?

Anonymous

Loverly, I hope you all made it home safe and had a good time. That's a really cool pic of DD!!

Jazzy, How did your AI feet hold up in NYC? Does the AI cause pain elsewhere, or other SE's for you? I didn't realize how fatigued my meds were making me until I got off them and came out of the fog.

Loving the pics, Susan, Smaarty, Sensi and Shep. I have to say, Sensi's is my favorite. That man can bring me coffee in bed ANY day!

Jean, I 2nd what Smaarty said, taking fluid out should not hurt. When I was Dx and then had my BMX, I had a vacation planned. My tubes were in a long time (7 weeks, I think) and they were finally pulled the day before my vacation. The Dr said that I would likely collect fluid and would have to come back after vacation and have it removed (which I did). He said it would feel like a waterbed when I pushed on the area. I ended up going in a couple of times to have fluid removed. It's not ideal, but simple.

sensitivehrt

oh good! I was hoping I wouldn't offend anyone with the pic 😉. Now I'm enjoying my first fire of the season.

Loveroflife

Susan, don't be silly! You look beautiful. Showed your pic to DH because he asked me who you were. His words: "She looks young to be a grandma." My response: " I agree."

I love Elena's ball head. Aww that priceless " What is that you are feeding me?" look on her face. How is Shelby with her?

Ms. S, I am on for Friday. Evie is so cute with her the two bows. Thank you for sending the cards to HiHo and Lori.

Maybe Sensi you can pick the place since your taste buds aren't back to normal yet. And I CAN'T believe you posted that coffee maker. I had to look hard for it. You already have your fireplace going?

ShepK, you have corrupted Sensi!!!

WildT, thank you. It is always good to see DD. We took her out to dinner Friday night and spent time watching her at the swim meet while trying not to be helicopter parents and give her space. Still not easy to let go. I am glad she will be home for Thanksgiving break which is only 3 days, then we have to drive her back to LA that Friday. How are your hands and feet?

Feline, your daughter looks so cute in the picture you posted for Rose. Love her elf ears. I have natural Dumbo ear on one side.

Jazzy, you don't have to be like Demi Moore. There are plenty of more "mature" men out there waiting to cross path with you.

JunieB, you know I like to tease you too.

JeanQ, hope are you resting and not doing more than you should.

Tang, we have not heard from HiHo and are concerned about her. Ms. Smaarty sent her a card a few days ago. Hope she is ok and is just taking a break from BCO.

Ok night night. Need to have a clear head to think properly tomorrow.

Loveroflife

There is no place like home.

Lita57

Susan, you look fabulous!

This disease does take a toll, but some of us just glow regardless.

I do feel, however, that I've aged about one year for every month...especially my skin, and don't even talk about my hands and nails.

Lita

feelingfeline

Love that pic Lover.

I agree with whoever said these drugs age us. To paraphrase Garth Brooks: I am too damned young to feel this old.

Good Mornin' Feline! Usually when we are up at the same time, I'm just going to bed 🙃

I loved the pics you posted of fall in Ireland; brought back memories of growing up in New England. I don't recall ever seeing such vibrant colours though -gorgeous! Was that a horse chestnut in the 3rd picture? I haven't seen one in years. I thought that they were only a New England "thing". Very cool! I remember cracking open the spiny outer shell/pod to get at the nut inside. The nut looked like finely polished wood and was sooo smooth to the touch. I know that some people eat them but I never have. I just enjoyed holding them and admiring their beauty.

Up super duper early for follow ups with back surgeon, MO and Zometa. Love my cancer hospital - hate the 2 1/2 ride.......with my FF and his scary driving........

Loverly - What do you have against coffee? Or tea? Awesome action shot of DD1! Glad you're home safe. Did DH drive nicely? So sweet the 2 tired girls resting together.

Sensi - Good girl 👍 Who doesn't like pretty kitchen appliances? Very nice pic in front of the fire. You are looking good! Hope you are feeling good too. The screen in front of the fire place is lovely - never seen anything like it. Oooooh and the brick! So cozy! Glasses are on - getting ready to read? Looks like the perfect spot!

Evie, Elena 💕💕

Good Morning or is it Good Night Lita? Shhhh.....don't you know we are all 29 😜

Smaarty ~ Thank you for writing our MIA Owlies!

Hugs as wishes for a happy day to all!
