That was Beautiful Ziggy!

Smaarty

ooooh! High chickens! That's Teka under the bucket, right? And Chevy on the ladder because she's super chicken and can FLY and can't break anything. Cami is the one face down. Sas is laying back all relaxed.

You got a guy to come here and post????  Holy crap!

Wow!  He"s got to be some kinda tough... or maybe just nutz.  And tattoos!  As a coinkidink, I'm headed to my friends house in Houston who has done a dragon garden drawing for me for my tattoo at my mastectomy site.  Hope I can get that started when I get back from my trip. 

Speaking of my trip, Big Alice was not able to come with me this time.  She's in solitary confinement for bad behavior. AND I'm 2 hours late getting on the road to meet little goats. I'm texting her soon.

Very nice ziggy!

Here is what I got done in 6 hours (I'm not usually not that slow. I plan on putting it into a b/w lap size quilt. This piece is just the beginning, I'll need to make it about 6 ft long. It will have a white band on both sides that will square it up. Hope that makes sense. The last section doesn't have it white wings yet.

Safe Travels Phyllo-on-the-road-again!  Sorry about Alice, I know you will miss her.  When you get back ask Chevy to cuddle up to Vinnie again and see if he can hook you up for the dragon!!  We will try not to scare him off in the mean time!   OMGosh, that will make you the girl with the dragon tattoo!

ziggypop

Grahamcrackers, yes a guy, and now Chevy is head over heels and thinks he's got a thing for her.

Very nice Smaarty!!

Myra, sounds like you did indeed hit the jackpot!  Mine is very good to me and spoils me, so I'll keep him around a while too.  At least until Chevy is tired of Vinnie!

Chevy, Beautiful BlueBird.  Have fun with the chickies!  YOu should ask Ziggster how she pictures you, i mean right now, while she agrees with you.  Strike while that iron is hot!!   Tell your DH YES! people are moving to CO for the POT!  They say so on my news I don't watch all the time!  Unfortunately it is people with sick kids that need the pot elixer to stop their seizures and one parent is moving there with the kid while the other stays behind and works or the whole family is uprooting to go help the child.  It's sad and stupid that the gov't makes things like that so tough.

Cami should write a letter!

Anita, been there done that!!  Hope it is all working and the buttons don't start to stick!  Feel good today, K?

2time, Don't be lonely and sad.  I do get the living vicariously though.  After all I'm a druggie via Chevy, a parolie via Phyllo, a tart via Cami, I get my sex life via Ziggy and I'm a Badd Ass Bitch via BlueBird!!!

Speaking of BlueBird, you are an inspiration.  I got the perfect pic in my head reading Zigg's post!

Tang, hope today is a good day!

Dutch, hope you are having a good day too.  That is/was crazy about your nodes.  Mine too only mine were before chemo.  They told me if I had done chemo first I would have had to do it again. EEEKK!!  Glad you didn't have to do that.

Blessing, Kimberly, Wren, LilGoats, Gumby, Teka, Sas and anyone I missed, only on first coffee!  Have a great rest of the weekend.

Chevy, Let Vinnie up for air from whispering "sweetheart" in your ear, and let him frop by and say hello!!! 

Easter decorations for Chevy!!

Oh my!!!! A fun bunch:)

Helloooooooooooooooooooooo Kimberly Ann .

That will probably be one of the last times anybody will call you by your name ever on this site, soon it will be Kimwiththefathead, or dinkgirl or whatever.. God only know why what happens here happens here, because nobody else could figure it out. Welcome. 

dutchiris

Ziggy...you have a way with words.  That was beautiful just like Bluebird.

Bluebird...I think posting pics of our projects is a great idea.  Hope you're feeling better every day.

Anita...electronics don't need hydration.  No mire sharing your Pepsi with your electronics.

Smaarty...I'll be waiting to see that quilt when its done or even an updated pic while you're working on it.

Welcome KimberlyAnn!  Things move fast here but these ladies are a riot or maybe I should say they're a hoot.

Good morning to everyone else!

duckyb1

Thanks ladies...............appreciate your kind words......I let my grandaughter see them all, so he knows how much love and support Grayson gets from BCO........thanks again.......

To anyone else with a large head: check out SundayAfternoons in Oregon. They make a huge variety of hats which come in SIZES. They can be adjusted within a size as well. I have a sport hat and a field hat and love them both. I've had basal cell bits removed from my face, so I try to stay shaded. My head is quite a bit larger than DH's, so I'm familiar with the problem. They have periodic sales, so get on their e-mail list.

Good Afternoon ladies and Vinnie, how are we all this fine Sunday

MinusTwo

Wren:  Great hat site.  Thanks for the reference.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I DID it!  I posted a picture of Lacee for my Avatar!  I wanted to post one of a 57' chevy, but I didn't have one stored in "my pictures" and this one is better anyway.... 

Just been cleaning out my closet!  Getting "stuff" ready to give away....  Maybe one of my Daughter's friends can use some of these clothes....  I haven't worn some of the things for over 15 years....  It's like I just get used to wearing the same things! 

Oh that's right LilshitZiggy!  KimberlyAnne.... Do we HAVE to use your middle name?  I mean is that like my name in High School?  Billie Jean Bodine?  Just kidding.... I prefer to be called Elizabeth Darling....  Or Daaaahhhhling!  Or even just Ed....  But I have to stick with Chevy, because we HAD a 57' Chevy, AND our first dog was named "Chevy" and it just has significance....

Ziggers.... I'm serious here..... that really was beautiful.....  I mean what you wrote to Bluebird..... Honest....  You are a Sweetheart! xoxoxoxo

Ladies, I apologize for my absence here - I just can't keep up with you all!!!! I think I am about 20 pages behind, and I will try to catch up. But I want you to know that you are ALL always in my heart and prayers!

I have had a rough patch, but I must be extremely strong, because it hasn't killed me YET!! I have completed 2 cycles of gemzar, and am doing much better than I had hoped. I had to delay my last dose because of low wbc, but only for 3 days, so I am pretty much still on schedule. MO says after next cycle we will know if it is working. I think it must be to some extent, because those tumors have quit growing, and they were growing pretty fast for a bit! I don't think they are shrinking all that much, but I am happy for no growth!

OK, Sas, you and I know what narcotics do to the GI system: slows it down. How often have I preached to my pharmacy students: make sure your patients take laxatives with their narcotics? Do I do that religiously myself? OH NO, of COURSE NOT!!! So I ended up with partial small bowel obstruction on Christmas Day, and again this Thursday. Spent Thursday in the ED, agreed to whatever tests and scans the doc wanted. Good news is that lump that I kept feeling in my belly that I was worried was cancer is NOT - I am just FOS (full of sh*t)! At least I hope that's all it is, so I am doing lots and lots of fluids right now. Pray for me that it is just lack of laxatives and not adhesions or something else awful. Will check in with my PCP tomorrow and see what's next. I am really ready to trade this body in for a new model - I have been taking care of this one for over 60 years, and am just about ready for one that works! Seems like all the parts are wearing out at the same time!

Now, I will go back and try to catch up as best I can. Meanwhile, know that I am always hoping for the best for each of you (many of you I see on some other threads that don't run as fast as this one!). Sending much lovingkindness to all, hoping that you are all free from fear and pain, and that you find beauty and peace each day.

Chevy, Billie Jean is Not the One!!  Good job on the Avatar.  Now you gradiated remedial computer 101 with me.  Like my new Avatar?  It represents my left big boob and my tiny concave right one!!!  I swim in circles now and roll to one side if I try to float!

And wait, you are giving away your stripper outfits?

Linda, they do say practice what you preach.  nope, I don't do it either!!  Sorry for the rough patch.  We are doing lunch soon!!  M, W, or F work best for me.  I'm on the strip from 4/7-4/12.  Not doing the strip like Chevy, please don't confuse the 2  We are a lot alike, but still!!!  Any other week is great so let me know!!  It's working, it has to be!!!

Chevyboy

I GOT it 444444!  I just was paying attention to the cute little clown-fish!  Ha, ha!    I'm glad you recognized me!     I used to raise fish...... and floating sideways is never a good sign!  But I couldn't take a fish to the Vets, could I?  So I usually just treated the whole tank....  It was stressfull, because you just don't want anything happening to ANY of your pets.... even fish!  Or chickens....

Linda!  Oh for God's sakes!  I had no idea you were being wrung through the wringer!     I hope you got your clock cleaned by now....  Yes, this thread runs fast, because we mostly just talk....... and talk..... and......

AND we have a GUY on here now!  He knows a lot about tattoo's for our "girls!"  He sounds like a lot of fun, beSIDES being of help to us!  Or, I don't mean me, exactly, just the gals who need his services.... or whatever....

Its so quiet here today.  My hip hurts so bad and its scaring the crap out of me.  I had a clean bone scan in the beginning of January for low back pain.  Im so tired that I can't motivate myself to do anything that might distract me yet I cant sleep.  So I just sit here and cry and think I shouldn't be puting this here either.  I dont know what to do

Chevyboy

LittleDutch....  Can you go to an UrgentCare clinic?   I know they don't do x-rays.... but maybe give you a cortisone shot, until you find out what it is?  Did you somehow strain it? 

I've been using heat on my hip, and back.... and I take 2 Aleve, usually in the morning....If you are still having problems, then 2 more at night..... but there is a "reason" for it being that painful!   Maybe it is just a strain?  Or over-use?   I/we just feel bad when you are hurting!

ziggypop

Dutchie, that is not good. Do you have pain meds, if so take them.. please. It is what they are for. Would a warm bath help? Sometimes it eases up the muscles. I cannot think of you sitting and crying. You are a wonderful woman with kids and grandkids, can you call one of your daughters and just take your mind off of things for a little bit? Can you turn on a stupid tv show for a bit - or some drama? If you don't have netflix, you can get a free month of movies - when I feel like I 'just can't' do anything, I'll turn something on just for a distraction and that will sometimes put me to sleep eventually

OMG U bunch of yakkers most saying nothing, like I do.

ZIGGY That was beautiful, I'm sure it touched Blu's heart as it has all of us., At first I thought u were talking about Chevy, but after the 3rd word I knew it was Blue cuz--well  we all know why.

Linda I feel like this is working for u and u'r going to start a whole new part of this. And mentally u will feel better.

I actually did some work today--the kids are spring cleaning--so I had to go thru al whole big thing that I had to see what we could throw out--Well I sat while Joey and I went thrue things--I threw out about 3 things, I had so many compression socks and things in there, I wondered what happened to them-and about 20 lip glosses to add to my other 75 and they're still goo, funny tho I haven't worn lipstick in like 30 yr--they must have been on sale. Maybe I'll start now. I'll lure in the whole male population if I wear them that's why I stopped.

Oh Oh welcome Kimbers I hope u stick around and post often we love new blood--er people. One thing I have to tell u is this we will brighten u'r day and don't pay any attention to Chevy--she's on leave from her pole strip-dancing right now-since she broke her hip, but she still steals eggs from her neighbors chickens and enjoys that very much and eats them. It's like eating their young, but she doesn't see it that way.

Another thing is u can get a lot of questions answered here which is great--we're serious when need to be so feel free to vent or cry we're all in this crap together. We all have the commonality of this chit disease so we all get it.

Oh my screen is jumping again---right when I was ready for my close-up Mr. DeMille. OK BBL

ziggypop

For Dutchie - I suppose that Irises would be the thing to send, but little pansies seem so 'right' this time of year. I keep having to hold myself back from buying them. But soon it will be Easter & that's a good time for putting these little guys in some wonderful black spring dirt.

My daughter left Sponge Bob on when she left for work.  Sponge Bob is not going to do it.  Ill try Netflix in a bit.  I took a pain pill but not that long ago.  I was thinking warm bath too but would have to get my lazy behind out of the chair.

I have a bone scan sceduled for Tuesday.  Ive worked in the imaging dept of my hospital for 22 years.  Everybody knows me.  It makes it harder to keep my business private.  They can't go in my record but they know about the bc and see me come in.  

Now I have a headache from crying too.  It just keeps getting better.

This my youngest daughter and her boyfriend.He graduated last spring.  She graduates this year and starts college in the fall.

CHURCH: ('cause it's Sunday) 

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord

These little babies mark the beginning of Spring. And Spring always follows Winter. 

Because heaven is big enough - even for wonderful sinners like Chevy.. and if it weren't, I wouldn't want to go there.

When I was little, my Dad planted a little Cherry tree outside my bedroom window so I would have something pretty to look at. He passed away last year, but that tree is 40 feet tall now and it'll be covered with beautiful blossoms soon. Love you Pop.

For all of us travelers... because while our last stop might be heaven some sweet day, in the meantime we're going to make the most of our time here on earth, even with all its potholes.

God bless all you Owlettes (and Vinny) ..the whole splendid bunch of you.

Ziggy, thank you for being part of us, you bless the spirit

Linda-n3

Duchiris, sending warm gentle hugs your way, and offering my shoulder for your tears. Sometimes you just gotta cry when you hurt, cry 'til it's all out, then try to rest. Wishing you gentle and pain-free rest - hope the pain meds kick in soon.

sas-schatzi

Dutchy, today we are in pain together. Got time for a chat. Can you chat in the chair or do you need to move to a different place. God has given me so many lessons on pain. I've learned a bit more than I cared too. But I can bring the perspective of "been there done that" along with the "book learning words". Will PM number.

BTW the kids are a gorgeous couple
