    Thank you Sas!  I feel relief from fear and the physical discomfort.  I think I have the pain meds to thank for the latter.  Thank you Chevy, Linda, and Ziggy.  Your words mean so much.

    Ya'll are the best group of ladies!! Dutchi-sorry you are in pain and I know that not knowing what is causing the pain is quite distressing. ((hugs))

    Seriously though, ya'll are such a blessing and I'm happy I found you. Seeing how you rally around everyone is so wonderful. Hope everyone has had a good weekend. Monday will be here soon enough :)

    dutchiedoodle - I'm sorry things are feeling bad.  Here, use my sleeve.  You have some snot.  See?  We'll take care of you.

    I had a great drive today.  From Shamrock, TX to Mineral Wells, TX.  I didn't get to meet up with LovelyGoats though.  My own fault for being a goober.  However, it was a beautiful day for an 8 hour drive that should have taken 4.  That pretty much explains the goober part.

    Phyliycan'tfindherway, that sign awhile ago apparently was true. when you hit florida I-10 is a straight shot across the top of florida, then the bypass around Jacksonville. Then follow signs to ST. Augustine.  Shucks I shoulda used AAA for a trip tik of augustine and coupon -------well that was a stupid thing not to do. Bummer.

    Tonight looking at my dinner plate which contains a crab cake, sweet potato fries, and something green and leafy. Me: 'What is this?" DH: 'It's a crab cake and sweet potato fries.' Me: 'And the green stuff?' DH: Oh, that's baby kale and collards.' So did he think I couldn't identify sweet potato fries? Or a half eaten crab cake? He cracks me up sometimes.

    What a lively, lovely bunch you all were today! So glad I get notifications on my cell phone during the day to keep me smiling and trying to keep up.

    Sassy, new avatars almost every day? Like an identity crisis? Keeping me on my toes.

    Welcome Kimberly!

    Chevy, yee-ha such a pretty avatar of your wonderful Lacee! Now we get to enjoy her too.

    Sorry Dutchie and Linda for your pain! Wishing I could give you a nice shoulder or foot rub, if only a cyber one.

    Ziggy, what kind words you had for our dear Dutchie!

    Myra, beautiful family!

    Dutchie, beautiful DD and her boy friend, they look like a sweet couple!

    For anyone I have missed, hoping you had a wonderful weekend and will have an equally terrific week.

    Love and hugs to all!

    OMG u gals have beautiful children, what a blessing, not because they are beautiful but they all have you gals as moms

    Dutch I hope u'r day got better and u'r pain has lessened--Oh everyone knows u for u'r Scan, well one thing u'll be treated really well, u must be a private person so I'm sure it's harder on u, but I guess sometime it is nicer to walk in and no one knows u. But hopefully the scan will be good and it will be all good reports for you and that's all they'll know.

    I hope u all sleep well tonite and start the week off with good feelings.

    Wren, so cool you got waited on! (I couldn't do anything right for DH this weekend, so not having to think of an idea, having it prepared for me would be a dream! Your DH is thoughtful making you something healthy)

    3:47 am....  wandering around the web again in the middle of the night.  it's been going on for weeks now - feel like i'm working night shift.  i seem to sleep good when i finally fall over but i feel like i'm missing over half the day since i don't get up till well after noon.  in the wee hours i'm sure every ache & pain is the big C spreading and i swear i'll make an appt with my pcp but in the light of the afternoon sun, i don't.  i'm so tired of hurting.

    i have to share - i learned not to sit on my shower chair when my butt is soapy....  i was scrambling for a toe hold & knew if i slipped off the chair that i wouldn't be able to get up by myself & i was determined not to yell for dh or dd - besides, they would fall down in giggles before they would be able to help me.  i was finally able to stand up but i had sore muscles for 3 days after that adventure - but, by golly, i didn't have to call for help.

    I'm in your pocket today Cami.  I'm in the left one unless you keep used tissues in that one. Make sure Chevy is in the right or tell her to wear sensible shoes.  I don't want t deal with her stilettos.  

    I feel good so far this morning and it felt so good lying in bed.

    Little ZIGGGERS!  Geez, you amaze me!  Okay, I like this one!

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28sqs5H5hao&feature...

    MostlyMom!  Is that YOU in your Avatar?  That is so CUTE!  And I just had to laugh, about your slippery chair 'venture!  Ha, ha!   I could just picture you, or any one of us in fact, doing the same thing!   My neighbor DID have to call the fire department last year, when she was in the tub, and could NOT get out!  Seriously folks!  They are both in their 90's, and her DH could not get a grip, and she was just plain dead in the water!!!  So he called 911, and the firemen came, and got her butt out of that damn tub!   What a SIGHT!!!  (she said)  And what made it worse, was those firemen were so CUTE!!!  I have to try that..... write that down..... that's ONE damn way to get attention.

    444444444444!  On that last page, you were a riot!  I copied and sent that to my DD's!  Also miss Lilshit Ziggers, about Blue-bird, and it's just nice to share some of "my stuff" with them...  And about the slippery-butt escapade!  They say I am "so lucky to have friends like you guys!"  

    Morning gals.... I have to post this, because I can't turn the page back, without losing everything.... WHAT did I just say?

    Me again!  I MEANT to say Hello again Linda!  Sorry you are having all the problems....    It's a wonder you can even THINK straight... (shut up Cammi, and Ziggy)   Hope you find out something today....  Let us know...okay?

    Cammi!  You have been Spring cleaning?  Man, I got rid of a lot of stuff!  DD will give it all to a "friend" she has, who is just recovering from BC, and who has not much of anything.... 

    And I also sent YOUR little post about me and the damn chickens!   Those eggs really ARE good though!  It is NOT their YOUNG!!!  

    By the way.... thought I would mention.... I have not heard from Vinnie.  I didn't think I was THAT hard on him, did you?   I hope I didn't  scare him off.... I think I did..... He is probably scared 1/2 to death now...

    sniff........ Maybe he is off, saving the world, with his black cape on, flying over our houses, and doing good in the universe!

    LittleDutch!  Hope you are feeling better today, and I love your picture...  She is beautiful, just like you are!

    Sass, I don't think you are doing okay..... I just know it.... I can tell by the way you talk....  Is it anything we can do?     And what kind of directions were THOSE that I couldn't figure out?  A coupon?  No wonder you guys can't find your way home!

    And Phylligoober!  What's WRONG?   Getting out on your own, must be a trying ordeal...right?  Man, I sound almost normal, there.

    Myra....LOVE the family pic!  Where do you live, with all that SUN and flip-flops and stuff?

    Okay.... talk to you later! xoxoxoxo

    Good Morning Owlettes and Vinnie!!

    Dutch, glad you are having a good start to the day!  Let's hope that keeps up for the week!

    MostlyMom, Sorry you are having a rough go!  Feel better and don't over soap your butt today!

    Chevy! my friend has to call 911 whenever her husband falls.  3 times last month.  I am sure they would rather come get some nice little ole lady out of the tub than some nekkid fat guy!!  How are the chickens?  I'm hungry!!  I got something for you at the store.  Couldn't pass it up!  So I need to get with you so I know where to send it!!  Frederick's was having a clearance sale!!

    Cami, Best of luck for the most BORING results ever today.  I'll take the pocket with Chevy, we can work on her pole moves so she doesn't break herself again.  I broke my ankle on stairs, I'm fine on a pole, it is stationary!!

    2TA, My DH was honery this weekend too!  Surly even!!  We had a silly weekend.  I love your owl avatar!

    Ok, can't recall everyone so don't want to leave anyone out.  But I hope all the Owls have a great start to the week!  I am off to deliver cupcakes and start a torrid affair with a new PS to see if he has any suggestions how to fix Nemo!!!

    Great day ladies!!

    YOU are having a "torrid" affair?  Oh, yes, I remember one of those!  Don't go sending me none of those naughty little sparkly lingerie things... Or any more garter-belts and stockings with SEAMS in them!  I have such a hard time getting the seams straight!   I had a pair of crotch-less panties once.....  WHERE did that body and years GO?

    good morning!  Getting the crew ready for school and stopping by to say hey hey hey!

    Chevy I cannot really see your pup but sorta looks like a lassie type?

    Cami good luck on your scan today!  I will definitely say some prayers, muah!

    Mostlymom I suppose it's one of those situations you realize when it's a bit too late!  Thank goodness you have a freakishly strong toe to stabilize the soapy bottom.

    And I know someone is making a beautiful quilt!  I love the black and white...I do not quilt but it seems like it takes a lot of time to make one.  My grandma was like a second mom to me, she lived two blocks over and watched me most days.  She did some embroidery when they were in HI, my mom gave them to me 

    Have a great day, going to work on getting unplugged...miralax and softeners got nothing on taxol, grrr, now I have to pick up senekot before I have a fourth child.

    Aw Geez Myra..... hope we don't shock you, or anything....  Love you talking about getting the kids off to school!    I used to do quilting....  The kind where you print off favorite pictures onto transfer paper, then onto craps of white material, then sew them all together in a pattern!  I made one for each GS, and one for us.... All of their, and my favorite pictures.... like a memory quilt....  I'll try and post a picture of mine...

    This is ours, and I crochet'd the blanket underneath...

    The photos were "reversed" and ironed onto pale-blue scraps for this one.  And DD#2 had given me a poem , so I copied it, and used it around the borders.

    Chevy how cool is that!!  What a wonderful airloom, I save everything of the kids in boxes...figure I will go through with each of them one day.

    Anita she is so precious, I can't see her lil face though...maybe I need glasses now.  Well wait I'm on my phone so I will check her out later.

    Raining here on the suncoast today...going to grocery shop, exercise, and work from my bed until kiddos get home.  CT tomorrow morning to double check a tumor on my spine...pet scan did not reveal mets but they still want more pics.  I'll be happy when it's negative, I get anxious before chemo, surgeries (going on #12 in a couple weeks), and cancer testing, lol!

    Just received a call yesterday that my friend has breast cancer, same age as me, damn that is depressing!  Ok, vent ova!  Sassy does seem quiet but maybe it's more of me being a chatter and hoggin the board, I will blame it on the steriods.

    Beautiful quilt Chevy, I have made some of those!

    Myra, that was a beautiful, fun pic of your family.  I see your little girl has brothers to deal with too!  Mine has 3 older brothers, but she keeps them in line!!  Good luck on the scan tomorrow.  Someone else is having one tomorrow too and Cami is getting one today.  We need BORING results from all of you!!  Sorry to hear about your friend.  This BC is like a runaway freight train these days.

    Morning Teka!

    Love the new avatar Anita!  We need more red heads!!  My oldest is red and I tell him he needs to find a nice red headed girl to keep it going!!!

    Thanks Chevy, now the Funky Cold Medina song is looping in my head!  And just so you know, we are blaming you if Vinnie doesn't come back!!  And BTW, my friend says I am just flirting at this point, not actually cheating.  I thought a torrid affair sounded like more fun, but you know how reserved I am.  Guess I will start with flirting, like you, with Vinnie...................
