2nd, rain stopped last night, should start up again tomorrow afternoon. I'll blow it your way. After we get what we need. You know it all flows south anyway!
Gotta go, kids here for GS birthday.

T e k a, I went to a small collage in a small town. Since I was a theater major I got to work every visiting program. My four year favorite musician was Dave Brubeck! Favorite act and performance was the famous actress Dame Judith Anderson. She arrived at the theater while another student and I were setting up the stage for her. As we worked we rehursed lines for the next play, didn't know she was there. She sat and listened and stayed to talk. After the show she took the two of us out for Anita a drink.

Thanks for all that posted to MrSWEST46 and rallying around her. I sent a note to the Mods to see if they can contact her b/c I'm not sure she knows how to use BCO. I so remember those first posts and not understanding. Blundering my way through. Love you gals-YOUR GREARRRRRRRRRRT!.
Now Mrswest46 come see us:)
-
One day left in lousy March!
-
Chabba Holy chit how exciting for u. And making of a great memory. Oh Dave Brubeck was great but I also liked--oops can't think of his name I just did and it's gone Peterson maybe--oh I hate that.
-
Came, that happens to me all too often!

Sassypants – glad DBF’s ankle is better. You definitely don’t
want to play Nurse Nancy.Dutchess – glad you had a nice day out. I get that hippage sometimes after walking
too much…Ziggy – No, we're not all having a torrid affair with Vinnie...either Chevy still has him hog-tied, or he
finally came to his senses and realized he was up to his eyeballs in bats#*t
crazy around here!2TA – Hey, I kept the rain all night, but sent it your way
this morning…. And - there's more on the way!!! WOOT! Hope you are all done with the rockin’ and rollin’ down there....Wren – great ideas!
Spookiesmom – My, you DO have a full schedule!!!
Nettie – there is no such thing as “too many cats”…. And just
ignore Ziggy…. Cats DO TOO count!!!Teka – sounds like a grand evening!!!!
Holeinone – I always feel like I need a vacation after I get
back from a vacation… 8 hours on the road? Arghhh.Cami – good job on the visit to DD, and getting babied! You’re
doin’ it right!!! And congrats on the “no D”…Chabba – what a cool memory!!!
~ ~ ~
O.K. ALERT THE MEDIA – I DO HAVE A LIFE!!!!
Just got back from dinner out with friends. Had a fabulous
time, incredible food, lots of laughs. It’s been months since we did that. Now
I’ll probably sleep til noon tomorrow…..Oh, wait, I forgot my OTHER social obligations… have to line
up about four routine doctors’ appointments tomorrow…. Oh well, I can probably
squeeze in a few phone calls in the afternoon…Nighty night, Owlettes!!!
-
Chabba and Cami I can only remember a few--Motown folks, The rat pack guys----can't name much after that. Love country western now ---still have trouble with names of songs and singers, but love when there songs come on OH WELL.............
-
Blessings, sounds like you're getting rest and returning to your usual witty self! It was bright and sunny this morning, started getting windy this afternoon, like pre-storm. Ready for that. About the rocking and rolling, I only felt the first one. DD said she teaching swim lessons today and felt a jolt, had to clear everyone from the pool.
Maybe Sassy does want to Nurse Nancy in a sexy little outfit, I won't judge her for that, as long as DBF doesn't have problems with the other ankle Whatever makes them happy
Nettie, I agree, no such things as too many cats. The most I have had at one time were 4 adults, never kittens, but that didn't last long - too much fur flying around.
Hi1, glad you got some time away
-
-
Okay Nettie, if your cats have kittens - that counts.

Went out to dinner tonite.....grabbed the low iodine diet I have to start April 2nd. OMG I'll starve. Plus, i basically shouldn't go out to eat until 3 days after the pill on the 21st of April.
I'm a person that will use any excuse to go out to eat.. We are talking 25 days till I get to go out. My greatest hobby second to thrifting. I eat fish all the time---no fish. Dairy lover--nada in any form. The list is going to starve me. Well if I don't loose weight on this diet, but since it is to deprive me of any little escaped thyroid cancer cells by making them so iodine hungry that they will eat up that radio iodine131 like pac man. -----I guess it's my life to comply. That's a hell of a diet. But with the complete absence of thyroid-t3 I'll be so hypothyroid--I'll likely gain weight . Sheesh. Deprivation and weight gain--not fair.......
I know several here warned me, but now I'm learning. No new lessons need, I'm retired. -
life at my home: cats and earthquakes
-
Maddy how did the cat handle the earth quake? My Schatzi alerts as soon as there is a barometric change. Only once a quick rain caught her unawares. That's when they both ran in drenched, I turned on the ceramic wet tile paw prints. Down I went. That was Sept. Both shoulders still recovering, but at least no sx needed (yet). Dini's oblivious to noise, storms anything except squirrels and lizards
-
actually, the 2 girls weren't any help at all. They just woke up when the earthquake started but I think I startled them when I started running towards the back door at break-neck speed
-
OMG don' the cat's know before about the quakes somehow. I mean they're aware of like nothing that I would think an earthquake would somehow have a feeling for them. I mean right before a thunderstorm my cat sniff around and hides in the closet and I know something is coming and within minutes it starts and when she comes out I know it's all over. So that's spooky to me.
-
Sas, you have to swallow a radioactic pill to attract the bad cells, right? How you going to keep that pill in your system for 25 days??? It's going to come out the other end! Or do you take it every day? Are you going to be glowing in the dark so dbf can find you in the night and not trip up his ankle?
Got to go to bed, almost midnight. Night owlies.
-
Smarrty-----i"m deprived of thyroid hormone totally starting the 2nd, Then on the 21st i take this radioactive pill at the hospital. I stay a few hours to make sure i don't get strange. I go home and in isolation for 3 days +. I have found homes for DBF and dini/schatzi.. I eat on regular plates and utensils, but they must go through the dishwasher 3x's . The request was not to use anything disposable as it would go into the landfill. Flush closed toilet 3'xs. No sex for 7 days. Sleep separate rooms.____already sending everybody away greater than the requirement..Can't be near prego's , children, people < 45.
The diet--oh my-----must work on laying in supplies.
May thrift some cheap stuff --do the wash 3x's thingy and send to landfill. Just a now thought. Asked how it would affect septic and growth over it--supposedly no affect.
probabaly will be on boards allot tose three days-----???? how is that different.
Worry is since last contrast injection have had edema problems. now on lasix everyday. Total body scan to be done x days after pill.
Worry about kidney affect---called friend that;s nephrologist.
Talked with DS today---forgot plan wasn't to tell him till treatment over.--it fell into conversation----oops.
But we did talk about the legal aspect of the pathologist altering the the final report of the second opinion report.and that he admitted that he went back to original slide from bx last june/july and said to ENT he could see it then------that's an ass kicker.
So, friggen lesson is: I always collect reports as soon as signed. If he destroyed original slide or report ---got'em. -----delay of treatment by 10 months and alteration of 2nd opinion report. stupid, just stupid.
DS's a lawyer

Sassy, can't sleep? Sunlight will come quickly where you live, sleep weel!
-
Badger! I'm starting with you! I love yard work too! Got a lot more done yesterday, and DD came over and we laughed and giggled and fooled around putting a "garden bench" together! Sounds so EASY, but with dropping the damn little nuts, washers, the directions blowing across the yard, and ME trying to help, we just were like the blind leading the blind.... Ha! But it was fun... ! We stood back, and admired our work.... All that toil and stuff!
And Nettie got some sleep! Finally.... ! Hope that holds out awhile!
Oh woa! How do you say whoa? Is that it? I mean our Nettie does WHAT?? She's a RANCHER! Right? I mean she owns a kennel, 6 pigs, 3 sheep, and a Partridge! I love that! See, SHE has incentive, and determination, and will never say never.... I think that means something.
Sassy, I looked all over to see where I somehow said I can't type? Did I actually say that? Or was it about copy and paste? WTH??? And are you bossing that boy around again? Yes, I ALSO did ice and elevation.... then Heat and chocolate cokes.... Makes a person better much faster! I go for final surgeon appointment this morning.... then she will release me out into the wild... Which I have been doing anyway.
Dutchess! Yes, I remember now, about Cammi! Guess she went where there is no electricity, or ANYthing modern like that. Probably even has an out-house, and a river running near, which to wash the pots and pans with.
Hey LilshitZiggy! Not ME!!! Vinnie must be secluded... He must have just been imaginary anyway.... like most of my dates...
"Old Ladies"..... Oh HELL no! WTH??? We also have lives.... just slower than most... or maybe NOT! If I can keep from falling over my cane, I am GOOD! Gotta ditch that thing pretty quick. It keeps falling off the cupboards, and table, and it makes such a RACKET, and DH is going to throw that cane in the ditch! Another THING! My hair is NOT blue! It is a lovely shade of "brown-sand" ... Or so it says...so HAH!
Oh, speaking of stock-boys.... I remember one time when I was working for Pepsi, and I was taking my trash out to the back, and this, well this ........ of forget it.
Teka, my Brother was in the Navy Band! A drummer! He even taught drums at the Naval Academy... I LOVE big dance bands, My Brother played with Stan Kenton one time when he was here in Denver...
Did any of you gals ever dance like this?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QQzbCmlZM4
And this one... Cammi, show Joey this one!
http://www.starspangledbannerchallenge.com/
Yes, of course I pay attention! To what? I meant to remember that, but, well, you know... I'm glad you had fun, and mostly glad that the big D has rescinded it's hold on you.... ! Dang girl! And what does "reasonable shoes" mean? Are you making fun of my Crocs? Or my Stiletto's?
Blessings, Morning little honey.... You make it so easy to read your posts, by "bolding" names! And talking to all of us...! And so glad you have a life! Ha!
2ndTime! So awful about all the people losing their homes!
Sassy, sounds like you are in for a whole jar-full of no fun! But I don't know about "thrift" stuff, either, for using to eat off of? Maybe just do what they say and wash stuff 3 times?
Okay.... guess that's it.... Later's gators'!
-
I just found this.... Talk about Precision!!..... Oh wait, maybe we weren't, but this is amazing!
-
Good Morning--
Well Chevy take u'r pick Stilettos or crocs either one I stay aways from now, but I do realize in u'r work u need the stilettos so I accept what u do and have full respect for whoevr u choose to do it with--Well not the person, but I still respect you anyway--u can't help u'rself sweetie--It's been a part of u'r live since u were young and u know nothing else.
Damn I don't remember one thing I read last nite.
Sas this is a strange thing to me--I told u my brother lied cuz he said 1 week cuz he didn't want anyone to bother him, but it was really strange to my sister and me (the treatment ) for thyroid cancer--we just never heard of it before. The nice thing for us is we couldn't do anything for him hahaha but call him. Just a strange kind of cancer and treatment to us anyway. Just do what the Drs. say.
-
Good Morning all,
Chevy, sounds like you & DD had a lovely day. My DD has helped me with flowers since she was a tyke, and has worked in a high end nursery for the last 2-3 summers, for extra $. She is a social worker and will not give up her Sat. this year. We enjoy planting, moving perineals and getting dirty.
Maddy, I hope you are done shakin & rockin....seems like you have your days & nights turned around.
Cami, happy you are done with the D....Did we scare he ship out of you with all that hospital talk?
Sas, your treatment is interesting & sounds almost third world....
Still need to read back again, Happy Monday to all...
Bluebird, wavy hello & thinking of you with positive healing wishes..
-
Don'meaO New litters
Dont mean to bore you ladies.
-
Nettie, love your kitties. I'm a cat lady too.
SAS, glad you told what going to happen. We will all keep you company as you go thru this. Do you skype or FaceTime? Might be fun to try it out while doing treatment. Is it a one time thing or multiply depending on how attractive you are? You know, bad bugs to the pill? Not saying you're not attractive, I think Cami or Chevy have you beat there. So the ENT also knew and didn't say anything to you?? WTH is wrong with these docs. Get his butt too if you go after them.
Everybody else - HI
-
Chevy was Smaarty insulting us--I don't even know. Not that it really matters/
-
I do not know how you ladies keep up with all that goes on here!! I get lost! But I do so enjoy reading! I am not the witty type, but I so enjoy those of you who are!!
And Chevy, I don't quite have a ranch, but if my DH had his way we would! At present, our animals are limited to dogs & cats, but in the past we have had chickens and rabbits and horses!
We take care of our place by ourselves! I do the mowing and/or bushhogging and the DH does the rest! I'm not much of a flower bed type, love to look at them, but don't have a green thumb! My daughter, who was living in our cottage, had quite the spread, but since she has moved, she is taking her flowers with her so now I have a mess to clean up!
And Sassy, I don't know what I would do if I had to be isolated! I feel for you, but hey, we got to do what we got to do!!
It seems, for the moment, that some of my back pain has eased off! Really scared to say to much about it for fear of it returning!
I'll catch up again later! But boy, a lot can be missed on this thread in just a few minutes!
Just a couple of shots of our place!
-
Chabba, I can do you one better - I actually got to PLAY with Dave Brubeck! I played French horn in the Decatur, IL community band back in the late 70's, and he was the guest soloist for one concert. It was awesome!!!!! Even though I am not really good at playing jazz, I practiced a lot and we had a great time.
Sassy, hang in there with the miserable diet. Right now I am on "low reside" meaning less than 10 gm fiber per day, and I am a vegetarian, so am having a pretty miserable time with it. Canned peaches and greek yogurt, cream of wheat (haven't had that since college days!), WHITE bread peanut butter & jelly. I looked at some of my favorite yogurt (Chobani's key lime) and it has 4 f'in' grams of fiber in it!!!!! And my good all-fruit spread has fiber! So cheap grape jelly is replacing my extravagant good jams. *sigh* - Maybe I can send you a little "advent calendar" like we have for Christmas so you can count down the 25 days! PM me your mailing address and I will see what I can do. When do you start this treatment?
I am joining the cat-lovers group. I love dogs, too, but right now can't handle the responsibility and physical needs of a dog. I thought maybe a miniature Chihuahua would be nice, but DH likes larger dogs, like German shepherd or Alaskan husky, both of which I love, and I also like mid-size dogs like Shelties and other herding dogs, but they are all too high energy for me to really care for, so our lazy spoiled cat is the answer for a little warm fur ball of love.
Nettie, I LOVE your yard, and your dogs have the best view EVER from the kennels! Talk about spoiling our critters!
I have a couple photos on my iPad of my garden (I think I may have posted some last year) and my cat, but I am relegated to my PC this week as the iPad has been injured. A couple months ago, I dropped it while I was getting chemo (lesson learned: don't use iPad when not in complete control of senses and movement!) and cracked the corner of the screen. Well, that was just a LITTLE crack, it worked fine, no problem. Then last week, I was handing it to a friend to look at something, and in the transfer, we both lost grip and it fell onto the carpet on my concrete porch floor and that little crack expanded across the entire screen, from left upper corner to right upper and lower corners, and even into the left lower quadrant. The glass is just a little rough in a couple of areas, just enough I could slice my finger if I am not careful (and we all know that "Klutz" is my middle name"), so it has to go for repairs, and I am not using it until then. In any case, the photos are still there, I will get them and share them when I can.
Chevy, Cami, Smarrty, Holeinone, Bluebird, Maddy, Wavy, 2TA, Ziggy, and anyone else I have forgottne to name, I am sending lots of good wishes your way for a great week. May we all have the strength to deal with whatever crap comes our way this week! And may we handle it with humor, if not with grace! Love you all!
-
Nettie, Have you said what kind of dogs you raise? Your place is charming.
I watched a video on bottle baby kittens last night. OMG! Talk about work with something extremely fragile! My shelter is looking for more bottle baby receivers, so I was looking into it. They have to be fed every 3 hours and I'm not sharp without sleep, so I think my role will have to be helper rather than foster Mom. I could help at the shelter until a foster parent picks them up. We fostered a Mom with kittens, but that's easy because Mom does all the work.
Linda, I think we're beyond handling a big dog, but there aren't a lot of medium size dogs. Little dogs have a really high pitched bark which annoys my ears. All our own dogs have been larger. We've had a shep/border collie, a shep/coyote, and a shep/yellow lab. DD had a huge German shepherd. She said she felt totally safe walking her at night.
