camillegal

Rollers hahaha my hair isn't long enuff--I kept it really short.--why bother with it.   Yes I saw the Italian flag, but ????? BTW aren't u getting bad weather too, or did some of this miss u? It's all dropping here

Chevyboy

Could you beLIEVE the intelligentness conversations we missed last night?  I just sat here, scratching my head, wondering WTF are they TALKing about?

Chevyboy

Yes!  I just SAID it is snowing here.... go back about 6 inches and read what I wrote....  CAMMI... It is SNOWING here! 

camillegal

I have nothing to do with intelligence --after my screw up with the phone I can't believe I still have a job, but he came over last nite and I'll get a new phone today and my job continues Damn I cn't loose this.

Chevyboy

Zzzzzzzzzzz!

Chevyboy

A new phone?  Was it your phone?    Or what you said to those guys?  See, as your assistant, we have to do this job better...   What job are we talking about here...?

Can I keep you out of trouble? 

camillegal

WTF is wrong with u??? My phone job from home, I screwed up a bunch of phone calls cuz I couldn't feel the vibrator cuz the ring broke???? so I'll get a new phone today, but I really though he was going to say He was changing his mind about doing things with me in this job, but noooo I couldn't get fired yet. It's realy not bad, but when I don't feel good-u should take the phones.

Chevyboy

Okay.... no probs...   We just can't use the vibrate option as much, I guess......  ???   

camillegal

Chevyboy

camillegal

badger

Good morning everyone!  Only 60-some posts overnight LOL.

Yes sassy I wore the hat, walking mornings in FL.  Too bad mom doesn't drink tequila!

re: the movie Chocolat, saw it and enjoyed it.  Roger Ebert did an interesting commentary:

"Chocolat" is about a war between the forces of paganism and Christianity, and because the pagan heroine has chocolate on her side, she wins. Her victory is delayed only because, during Lent, a lot of the locals aren't eating chocolate.

http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/chocolat-2000

Looked it up because I thought Penelope Cruz was the star but the movie where she cooks is "Woman on Top".  Ah yes, Juliette Binoche is the star of Chocolat  Had forgotten about Johnny Depp being in it.

Bagder------------that's way tmi, but good, you must be an IMDB person, Watch the movie.

Insomniacs- wow, were you guys busy last night! Me, I crashed and slept like a log. Woke up at 5 a.m. and back to sleep to 6:30 a.m. Now I am up and on the move. Lots to do today. 

Hoping everyone is staying warm and safe. Such bitter temps around right now. 

Teka

Does anyone besides Jazzygirl & me on this thread practice sleeping?

I slept from 2:30 am-9:00 am. I was really on a roll. I missed the whole conversation.

Chevy, I do know the difference in Volvo & vulva, but when Jan mentioned Volvo, I couldn't help myself. I was just having fun with it. I was just so surprised that SUDDENLY the upholstery on the Volvo wasn't just wearing thin. It was completely gone!

I have errands to do today. Dreading it. With more bad weather, I'm sure stores will be packed and shelves empty. Also taking 14 year old grandson, Shawn, home. I'd love for him to stay for church tomorrow, but he's missing his DGF. Life is so tuff when you're 14.

Could this be me....four pages behind  and yes, it most definitely is.  Well, as I said, blink your eyes, or sleep overnight and you are so far behind its impossible.

Getting ready for our 12 inches of snow to start this evening.  Not fun, but at least we know in advance and Dh spent a few hours getting the tractor ready for our snow blade......so we will end up with a clean drive-way.  They say powdery which sort of blows when you don't want it to, but easier to move on the sidewalks, deck, dog yard and other places that will need to be cleaned.  I will be using/burning up some calories and don't plan to invite them back. 

As to diet.....something I would not have actually expected ---- I seem to lose a bit when I slice apples, dot with butter and Splenda  br. sugar and put in the microwave for a couple of minutes.  That's ok.......so far its a great diet booster and I'm thankful.

Should have gotten on last night steroids did me in until 330 and woke up at 930 and now I am up for the day....chemo weekly on wednesday now....on my way out today in the cold cause one of the kids wants to get pants....wtf is wrong with me, but fast food will be coming home with me....was wait for the oxygen to fill up....

luvmygoats

Well, I'm reading on page 222 (just 5 hours ago) and there are 2 more pages to go. So I have to start typing something b4 the sieve of a brain lets it all out on the floor.

Sassy - Love you girl. DBF was paying for a 30y.o. WTF??? My Dad paid until both I was 21 and DB was 21 and sent us a check each month while we were in college. Poof that was it and I was darn proud he did it. DM says she would have hauled his a$$ into court (esp. since he was the one who walked out on the marriage). I had a rocky relationship with my DF due to that but always remembered the financial support. His new marriage brought 3 kids and they had a 4th so I know money was tight but then again it was his decision to do so.

Nicky - Comment allez-vous? Pardon my lacking in French. Not much need to practice in Texas lol. I had 2 years of HS French and 2.5 years of college French but that was 40+ years ago. Just catching up with this thread. My nosiness - are you native or transplanted? Sorry about the bum knee/leg. What are the plans for it?

Teka - I sleep. One of my best attributes. Sorry all I will be no help to you insomniacs. I love to chat but true insomnia unless having major life issues it not a problem for me (ducking and covering my head if you want to throw something). I could sleep the entire day if my back/hips would let me oh and the little matter of DH hauling my butt out of bed to feed those goats - HMMM who's goats are they? - oh, right they are technically mine. Mr. Bucky boy stinky man is back on sale again. DH posted him this am.

Read that Minnesota schools closed Monday d/t extreme cold. When I was in HS they closed school d/t extreme flu. Texas has been hit hard; DH, DD and I all had shots.

GrammaB - I've looked for the A1C test at WalMart; they're always sold out. Guess I'm going to need to buy online. My docs refuse to test me because my fasting is OK as well as non fasting - on the high normal though I do have a small family hx and def. overweight. My gyn. was after me to get it tested because I kept complaining of repeated urinary urgency for a couple of years. It would come and go and I finally decided it was a menopausal sx which is of course worse now of the Femara. Heck I can't even get them to test my cholesterol because it was so good b4 Femara. Guess I will have to browbeat either MO in June or PCP. Bet both deny need. I think I need to find a local health fair and see if I can go fasting to get it done.

Oh I love, love the IMDB. I always go there to read the trivia and goofs and where it was filmed.

Wow a whole hour and no entry. Everyone gone back to bed or shopping for megadeath by ice/cold/wind chill?

luvmygoats

Forgot to ask this. Has anyone had a Shingles vaccine? I think our insurance will cover it but my MO says I need to wait to 65 so Medicare will cover it. Ha HA Funny what if I get it in the next FOUR years. Course he declined anything else says talk to PCP who I see in March. I thought I'd read it was the other way around, that Medicare would not cover it. Betcha booties I'm not waiting 4 years for it.

savgigi

Luvmygoats, my PCP ordered a shingles vaccine and my insurance paid for it. I'm not on Medicare either.

Spookiesmom

I asked the vampire at PCPs about shingles shot. He said it can actually cause shingles, there is various strains of it, and it's just a way for BigPharma to get more $$. 

I yes Sas. We call them pancreas pushers  .  Metformin works IN the liver to help control the amount of glucose made and dumped. Not to protect the liver

grammaB

Nicky, looking forward to your story.

Teka, I sleep too.  Last night went to bed at 4AM got up at 10:30AM.  Definitely a night owl!

Paula, be very careful while you are out and about.

IllinoisLady, what a great idea with the apple!!  I'm going to try that for my breakfast.  Except not the real brown sugar, I use Ideal Brand Brown sugar made with Xylitol.  

Luv, yes many people on my diabetes forum find they have to order the A1c online as it is frequently sold out at the store.  I haven't gone to one, but Walgreens periodically does testing in store.  I don't remember if it is free or not, but you might check there to see if one is coming up.  I've been debating about getting the Shingles vacc.  I'll be 65 in June so could do it then.  I think my ins would cover it, but waiting for medicare could work too.

Spookie, I hadn't heard that about the vaccine.  And you are right about the Met, I guess I wasn't too clear.

Off to run some errands!

Stay safe and warm everyone getting pounded by the bad weather!

Chevyboy

I had a Shingles shot a couple years ago, and no problem.... Also a Pheumonia shot....  and a shot of JD..... just KIDDING!  Ha, ha!   

luvmygoats

I did find it as recommended for 60 and older on our insurance. Surely that means they will cover something. Noticed the peeps on the Arimidex thread are also talking about Shingles.

I just had a yummy grocery store apple, plain, Braeburn I think. Time for more coffee.

Teka

I thought at 1st glance, 3 owls & 1 cat!

My mom loved a crisp apple!

Chevyboy

Hi LittleGoats....  I'm having another Cup o'Joe also....  Can't drink it too hot, because I have a tooth that broke off I think!  So Monday I have to go get the darned thing checked...!   Hope it doesn't hurt too much until Monday.... I think I just have to have it pulled......  My teeth on my lower jaw are all I have left..... sniff.....  And I only have 8 front ones......  I love my top plate....  They are most beautiful....  A lot better than my "real" teeth were. 

 But I'm not in a hurry to have them all out on the bottom.... I've heard they are very hard to get used to.... 

Do any of you gals have lower dentures?  Or am I the only one thinking about it?    I know eventually, I will have to get them.... 

Smaarty

I got the shingles vaccine last year at 62. I think it's fairly new? I got it after I finally got brave enough to get a tetanus shop that same year. Had put it off for over 40+ years because i heard it hurt so much. Didn't feel a thing.  Scheeez.

I've been sleeping pretty good as long as I don't have to get up and pee.  Love the pics, you guys are funny. SAS-is your sleep rhythm off and you sleep all day? When do you sleep?  

Shoot, I'm writing this and lost my place!

Ok, caught up. I thought the shingles vaccine was for 55 and up!  I have Kaiser and that's what I was told. Have a friend who broke with shingles 2 years ago! And still suffers from it. Don't delay!

Ah poop, it went to a new page!!!

Sorry, couldn't find what I wanted to say. I have caps on all but the bottom 6. When I got the top front 6 capped, it was hard to get used to eating some things. Don't think I'll ever get the bottoms done.

chabba

I was 59 when I got shingles.  Believe me you don't want to wait a day longer than necessary to get the vaccine.  I've had kidney stones and acute panretitis, both notorious for extreme pain.  Shingles was as bad as either of them.

Chevyboy

Chabba.... that's right!  I know of quite a few men AND women who have had shingles....  Heard they are VERY painful~
