    Hi gals!  Just a quickie....  Ha!  Oh I remember those!  Loopy  I just wanted to say I see you gals on some of the other threads I read, but it's kind of hard to sit and post on a lot of threads, besides my brain isn't working too well.... Okay, shut up Cammi!  I mean if I could just all keep you here, and then I could post say Hi to all of you at once....

    What I mean is, I love you gals.... Blondie, Wren, GG, Enerva, Blessings, and Miss Sassy Pants, and all that I find..... just want you to know I love you! 

    My biggest accomplishment today was washing up!  Yeah!  And then comtemplating the MO, and Prune Juice, and trying to get back to nearly normal! 

    I'll be back later! xoxoxoxo

    Chevy, we are just so happy to have you back! What a scare, give yourself time, you have time to heal before good weather so be gentle with yourself. 

    I on the other hand, have gotten too lazy. Ten days post radiation and I am still sitting around. My kids ask "so what did you do today". I feel like that was me, talking to them when they were lazy teenagers.

    So off I go, I will get moving....NOW......love to you & all our group...

    Hello All - I've been away with no computer for several days.  We had an ice storm predicted so I went at midnight to stay with a friend who lives near the treatment center.  Didn't want to get off schedule because tomorrow is my LAST day.  Itchy itchy is the word for me.

    It's fun to read about the glassware.  I have a good friend who uses her sterling silver flatware and expensive dishes every day every meal and puts it all in the dishwasher.  She says just enjoy it and don't let the kids fight about it later.  These days I give my kids some treasured moment with each birthday or Christmas - they seem to enjoy getting them and my house is stuffed full and could use a little space.  

    Glad everybody is safe, especially the fireman.  These guys keep us safe.  Here's to a good night's sleep tonight for all!

    Teka congrats----YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYyyy

    Tang could be off the wall may be the cancer centers counselor could talk with you while you are at chemo.  Saves a trip. Your tied up any way ---literally. Generally the actually chemo time is okay, it's the aftermath that sucks. Here's a thought have dear daughter come with you to chemo a few times. It may bring it home to her brain cells, that yeah, sumpins happening.

    Blondie---hugs and more hugs have missed you. What does that mean the last of the Red Devil? besides the literal statement. 

    MIMIEEEE, lot's of fun with your name, could write almost anything and you could figure out it's you LOL. I love glass too. Always on the search. I use all my finds. But not the good stuff everyday. That I will definitely rethink Thank you sweetie. I have about 8 different china/ glass patterns--all but one thrifted. White-Bauhaus(not thrifted), green hobnail AH, blue--fed windsor/hazel atlas/anchor hocking, red arcocroc, clear manhattan anchor hocking, various wexford anchor hocking. Some burple/Inspiration, Christmas homer laughlin poinsetta I think, Orchard jewels nova mikasa--favorite---it was an absolute steal---24 pieces  $25, Silverplate----labelle jolie, celtic newbridge, moms international, oneida stainless lol forget pattern--and it's the go to pattern,  two other sets---but very functional. Have thrifted enough pewter now, I could set a table with all serving pieces as pewter. Everyday is homer laughlin -lyrica with the cranberry/black swirl. 

    All here know I have a diamond in the rough DBF. Had to start with napkin LOL. Bugged the sh** out of DS. B/c his manners are impeccable. That's a funny story in itself. He asked me what, what could I see in DBF. I asked him several times if he was prepared for the answer.  I said okay, it's the sex.

    MimIeMi ---here's a link to an Ebay auction on Studio Nova(Mikasa)---Orchard Jewels. So, wish I had it for ever so long. It mixes and matches with all the clear and colored glass and white of the Bauhaus. This was the absolute steal at 24 pieces $25.00-----8 dinner/8salad/8 rimmed soups

    Chevy, I'm so glad you're at home now and hopefully, getting some rest and the pain is under control? Sending you very gentle hugs.

    Enerva, sending lots of hugs to you, sweetie! Try to keep your mind busy so it doesn't make you crazy. Have appreciated all your posted photos.

    Hi1, thanks for thinking of me. Yes, I have been keeping busy doing things around the house (almost slipped to the dark side) and lurking. So easy to get behind I get overwhelmed to try to catch up. 

    For those of you with teenage and older kids who don't seem to care (and I have one too): Ive been forgetting I was kind of in that place too. I recently remembered back in college when DBF/fiancé had cancer: I probably wasn't the most pleasant person either. It was already difficult learning how to be an adult and my whole concept of life changed drastically in an instant, I couldn't make sense of it all. Had to deal with the concept of mortality when I lost a good friend my senior year in high school, but this was just too close. I couldn't talk to my parents about it, a huge burden I took on (caring for him and an aging grandparent ). I ran away it got so overwhelming, my daughter can't. I don't think she's ever seen me that vulnerable and I think she just doesn't have the worldly knowledge to put it in perspective (she has the words, she started writing books when she was still in kindergarten, it's the reality part that's unthinkable). 

    Blondie, you'll be in my thoughts today, can I find a space in your pocket?

    Ah man Sass, you are going to make your Son throw up!  They don't want to hear this this guy they see, WOO-ing their MOM, with the tattoo's and hair evrywhere, and manners of a black-bear,  having anything to DO with THEIR Mother!  Much LESS getting within arms length of her! 

    Same as you would NOT like your KID, courting someone like Courtney Love, or Miley Cyrus! 

    Only way you can get out of this is to tell him you were just kidding.... like dreaming!  That you are celibate!  No need for him worrying about this guy of yours with 10 arms, being anywhere near you!    SOMEthings just have to be kept under wraps..... well, you know what I mean.

    I can just SEE him cringing....  You can just say..... I like him because, um, because he doesn't leave his socks on the floor.... that's all he has to know...

    And also, I think I lost my mo-jo!  I am not very happy..... nothing wrong.... just my brain not being positive.    Just talk me out of this!   Must be the pills?  I took 2 Tylenol about 10 last night....  I mean I didn't take 10..... I took..... oh never mind.....

    MiMIMie goofy silly girl. I'm not trying to sell you something this was a link to my favorite china pattern. methinks you read it as "Here's a link to MY Ebay auction". It reads "Here's a link to AN ebay auction"

    Chevy you sound just like my counselor who said "YOU SAID WHAT!".

    Blessings I know that link was for Littlegoats, but I put it in the topic box. The owls flew all around trying to keep me from putting goats in the owl box. They settled down and got back on there roosts.

    LMG remember when I said I try to teach you sizing. I don't think that's going to happen. I do it. I have a plan. But to put the words coherently together erhhhhhhI don't think so.

    Ok Chevy, we know you have had a traumatic event, you are still in shock, pain, and heading into stir crazy because you are a woman of action.....but what is this talk of losing your mojo?

    Morning again girls!  Okay, I'll behave!  I was just feeling pitiful there for awhile!   My little "chicken" neighbor came over with her 2 little girls, and "Ivy" brought me a picture she had made, AND some cookies, and a tiny rose in a tiny vase, and I felt so good! 

    And I finally LISTENED to all you that talked about a recliner!  Okay, yes, it is wonderful!   When I try and get into BED, I feel like  I am all flop, and no co-ordination!  I mean that left leg is just hanging there waiting to be rescued!   So it is easier to do EVERYthing in a recliner...Ha! 

    No GG!  You little Dickens!  Not THAT Mojo.... well, maybe yes that too, but I was thinking of my mood!  It sucked.... plain and simple.  But Miss Jackie (Lillibelle) sent me this... So I have to behave, and just DEAL....Ha!    What is that song....  "some days are roses and some days are thorns?"  is that it,???

    image

    Teka, that looks so GOOD!  I'll do that for sure!  They are like a "Rabbit in a hole"....  Or an egg in a frame!   I forgot about them! 

    Cammi, I'm HERE....  you sleeping?  Little brat!  Okay, so hello....  talk to you wild owls later! xoxoxo

    Bluebird - what kind of chickens do you have? Have they been near that nuclear site from "Them" - the giant ant movie? Owee - are her eyes bugged out? Has she prod. such a large one b4? Maybe clone her.

    Thanks Blessing for the goat video. Amazing how the sheet metal never gave way. They love playing "king of the hill". My little ones do that on a doghouse but the older ones too old/fat. Would love to know if he was trying to make a shelter for them or just put it up for them to play on. I've seen a goat teeter-totter. Wish DH was into making stuff like that - no doubt he's got the handiness. I bought an old picnic table years ago for them - just about 1.5 seats on each side, 3 small boards on top. One of the metal frames cracked so now afraid to use it. He's got some welding equipment not professional. Might see if it's fixable.

    Chevy - you've a right to a pity party. But love that you neighbor and Ivy came over to cheer you up.

    Feels like April here, damp and a little coolish out in the wind. Spookie we had FL weather yest - 81 degrees. Back with fire warnings for tomorrow. I need to go to "town" but guess I'll wait until Fri. when DH off. I'd like something new to wear to hockey game next week. Should still some good sales. I do have to go to FW on Wed for appt with BS but may be rainy. Besides I need to get it washed if I buy something. I may have to meet DD at her work or at the rail station. I can get to both easily. We may need to look for a rail station closer to her work. I can find the one we've used in the past easily. Not so sure if we find a new one. I'll just set myself up to get in the neighborhood early. Plenty of shopping out that way - maybe too rich for my pocketbook. Pricy area out by DFW airport.

    Teka - cute egg idea.
