I'm also way behind...having a busy weekend....have company..so I don't have time to catch up. Got. NO sleep at all last night, long story...nothing to do with sickness or the company. May whine about it when I have more time.
Chevy, hope DH gets better soon, a sick hubby can be the death of me. Mine is also a whiner.
Later ladies.

Doesn't somebody here have chickens?

Good lord only 5 posts since my last...whooohoot , I'm not behind. 6 hours. LOL
Chevy totally love the cartoon. That is my body in a bathing suit since thyroid failure or cancer. Which I kept saying to all docs for a Year-- weight gain, hair falling out, nails lifting and changing, skin changes, fatigue, depression, WHAT else----oh the bathroom wasn't fixed and I couldn't make decisions
Only PHilly's and Spookie's visit got a change--------
Also, started watching old funny sitcoms versus old csi and criminald minds. Love --Everybody Loves Raymond. Laughing more now then when I ever watched it before. Still catching too much Law and order's---------Ya'll refer to shows I'm unfamilar with, but doesn't surprise me. Missed Mork and Mindy. Worked on Thursday nights.
Trivial pursuit---the gal______---in Mork and Mindy is married to Mark Harmon. Long happy marriage. Except he sought custody of Ricky Nelson's kids cuz ________mom was on drugs. Forget the relationship. But Mark Harmon/ Gibbs----what a great guy.and so his his wife. Wonder how the kids turned out.
Ziggy, wondering where you were so looked, found that one gal that you posted on......sorry if that seems strange........but her doc was not right. Waiting for your translations on everything Particulary, 2D6 thread. I work hard on that one to be straight and right. When I write there, I have Voracious Reader and you, in my head. VR before you. Now you are there too. So, do me the courtesy dear sweet one, to read it. Trying to change the world. Having you and VR in my head is helping. It's like having MOM in your head----Did that make sense? Was it succinct? Did it raise awareness and curiosity? Is the writing good? Here I can be sloppy and write Ho and Oh backwards, and you can translate. 2D6 is NOT a social thread. Seriously, I'm out to change the world.
I have changed the world before. It's so cool. No credit, but it happened. That's why I know I can do it again. But help is considered very highly. So, if you buy into changing the world with no credit, no recognition, or remembrance LOL I'm the person to join up with
-

Ziggy, if you want to know how I changed the world-----we can talk on the phone. I was part of a group nation wide that all had input, and their ideas. Brought together, we did it. So, it can be done. It was EMS. The core group was less than 20. Isn't that fun.
-
Sassy, Pam Dawber? (and, no, I didn't look it up, that's the sad part)
-
Ziggy, I should clarify, I was credited in the first and second editions. Then I was palgarised to a related topic. That palgarism has likely been added to all other teaching manuals. Just haven't followed the trail.
-
Cami, My BIL would love your movies. SIL won't watch the "splatter" movies. He teaches film. Maybe I avoid them because they destroy my delusion that nothing bad will ever happen.
-
Maddy, Why apologize----she is a wonderful person----and Mark Harmon is a wonderful person They sought guardianship of Christine's Harmon's - and Ricky Nelson's kids after /or before he was killed in the plane crash. She was on drugs---they wouldn't have done it, if they didn't perceive the kids weren't in troubled environment. No idea how it all turned out
Dawber and Harmon have had a wonderful long marriage--- YAY.

Used to be the trivial pursiet Queen. Now the space line is very valuable,

Oh Alyson! I know the feeling! We were going over to feed the chickens one morning, and DH was carring their house key, garage key, garage opener, on a bungee cord.
He also had the trash in a grocery bag...to throw in the dumpster! Got to their garage door, and NO keys!!!!!!!! OMG! I could feed the chickens the snacks I broght for them, but couldn't get in the garage to get their feed, nor feed their cat, where she sleeps!
We went back home to get something to "move" that trash around.... EeeeEEEEEEks! DH was giving up! I would NOT! Finally, with this pronged hoe, I lifted another plastic bag, and the keys were hanging on it! I am the official key carrier then on. I wear them around my neck.
Sass, you are amazing! DH is still asleep! Pain pills must have really helped.... AND not putting pressure on that foot. I printed off pictures of Achilles Tendon Injury pictures... THEN I will emphasize the dangers of NOT resting that leg... and how walking casts, and splints are just not fashionable. Like CANES for instance, not to mention Ziggy's WALKERS! Hope he will get used to the crutches today.
So LilshitZiggy is your translator.... I can be your spell-checker.... for instance... It is Plagiarism... not whatever the hell it was you said.... THEY were insinuating that you copied someone else's text... how DARE they! Little RatBa.....s!
See, when I wrote this book, using research, and articles about the history of beer, I HAD to make sure I credited used "words" to their rightful owner.... Even when I read "The Studies of the Enzymatic Reaction of Barley Endosperm During Malting", I had to credit quotes that I copied to their rightful "person." See that sounds like I know what I'm talking about.... So just leave it at that.
Okay, did I cover everything? Or anything? I could go back and pick apart lots of other things, but I am just a woman of the world, and I have to get busy now.... Ta-da!
-
Afterthought.... I tore the skin off of my arm, yesterday SOOOOO bad! I was hanging the folded walker on my arm, with the grocery bag, and holding my Starbucks in my other hand, using the keys to get in the house, AND that damn walker has a SCREW protuding out from under, attaching itSELF to my very ARM, and MAN did it bleed!
Took the skin right off to the bone! Darned near anyway! I just took the bandage off, now I must LOOK at it, AND the bruising, and whine, and go take a shower.
Just thought I would mention that.... I must be illiciting sympathy or something.
-
good morning, Owlettes!
-
2nd now that's an owl that cares.
Chevy what are u and DH going for--the most catastrophes in a certain length of time? Why don't u just take the trophy and stop all this nonsense--u'r driving me crazy, now u'r arm? I piss and moan about nothing and u take my thunder away. Oh well u'r having bad few months and I do feel bad for u.So crumble up any meds u have for u'r DH and keep on giving them to him in something he's drinking.U can't use anti-freeze anymore cuz they put a bad taste to it cuz to many women were killing their husbands putting it in tea and jello cuz it had a sweet taste, Oh these crime show are to much for me.
-
Oh wait! I forgot Cammi, what you were saying! I DO have a big plastic green tarp! Actually a blue one too! So that is kept for emergencies....
But WTH is cellulitis? I don't think that is hardly even a word, much less a condition ..... IN HIS HEEL?
No, I'm pretty sure, it is still the Achille's Tendon.... tears... Hasn't gotten up yet... but slept most of the night! So I did too!
Yes Nettie.... it just goes with being a man.... I think. A COLD they catch in their tiny head, will drive a wife absolutely NUTS!
Oh Wow Blessings.... That poor chicken is probably not alive, as we speak! She was probably stuck there.... feet planted in the hardening cement!
And again Sassy.... yes, you have changed the world.... somehow! I might mention the word "succinct" .... WHAT do you think we ARE on here? Geniuses'?? Is 2D6 related to R2D2? Must be.... some relation or something....
It's okay.... you don't have to explain.... I wouldn't understand anyway...
You are talking about Gibbs! I love that show.... AND Ducky! And that sooooo cute guy what's his name... How come I can't remember the CUTE guys name? And Zephyr, or Zemmie or something?
Cammi... I took your thunder? Ha, ha! Okay.... we GOT the trophy! The gal that works with DD said me and DH need a "double wheel-chair!" Brat! At least I can walk.... Hope DH can walk soon.... but not yet... Just THINK of all the secret things I could DO around here! And he could not FIND me!
Don't go talkin' bout no anti-freeze... people might get the wrong idea about us... They have to think we are all sweetness and down-feathers, and ribbons and lace.... maybe even sequins too. And chocolate cokes.

Chevy and her DH started at such an early age...............

Today is International Disturbed People's Day
Please send an encouraging message to a disturbed friend... Just as I've done.
I don't care if you lick windows,
Take the special bus
Or occasionally pee on yourself..
You hang in there sunshine, you're special.(That's an old pic of Sas waving BTW!!)
-
Alyson, I'd look for the earring too. Hope you find it.
I worked in a restaurant once and a guest took out a dental plate and set it on the dinner plate and forgot about it so the server took it away when she cleared the table. Person remembered fairly quickly but it was a busy night so lots of kitchen garbage to go through. We did find it but eeewwwww.
Got out for a nice walk this morning while town was quiet. Bookwork today. ((Chevy)) ♥ to all
-
Aly, I feel for you, mister sister. I once had to shift through a full vacuum bad looking for a little diamond earring. Found it, but yuck.
-
-
thanks for the smile, Chevy!
-
Oh, good grief.... I have figured out the best way to catch up is to just jump in on the latest page!
Alyson - I can send DH over with his metal detector.... he has located lots of lost jewelry for people that way! And he wouldn't mind the trip, either...
Cami - a good night's sleep cuddling with Katie-Kat... sounds wonderful!
Chevy - I once had a forgetful boyfriend who was taking care of some friend's pets while they were on vacation. He lost their house keys, so he wiggled himself inside through their doggie door!!! SO sorry about your arm... for more sympathy, use a bigger bandage. And if you can pole dance on a cane, you are waaaay more flexible than I thought!!!
2TA - that "spa" owl is hysterical! I think we all need a spa day...
4sewwhat - couldn't see your pics!!!
badger - ick... can't imagine having to dig through garbage for someone's dental plate! But I guess they really needed it...
blueberry - Oh, the many vacuum cleaner bags I have sifted through in my lifetime... heck, I'd sift through garbage for a diamond earring!
-
Well, here I sit with noise-cancelling headphones on. DH is changing out all the batteries in all the smoke detectors in the house... and when you take ONE battery out, they ALL go off. And they are LOUD!
Thanks to Chrissy for letting me know that Melatonin could have the opposite effect on me. After three days of sparse sleep, and only 2-1/2 hours of sleep Friday night (and no nap on Saturday) I was ready with my arsenal last night.
Because of my back pain, I took half a Norco, half a Valium, a Benadryl for allergies, a Letrozole, and my usual slew of vitamins. Then a nice hot shower, and a good book.... and MAN! Slept like a rock, and I don't think I moved all night long!!! Woke up at 10:30 a.m., only because DH was banging around in the bathroom. At least I felt refreshed!!!
Tomorrow I have an appointment in Oncology to meet with my Clinical Research nurse. I'm in a clinical study to - get this - see if a regular text reminder can get women on AIs to remember to take their meds. Apparently, many, many women decide they don't like the SEs, so they just quit and never tell their docs. In the very beginning, the MO told me that if I didn't refill my prescription, she'd send her minions after me.
The benefit to being in this study (I'm in the group that DOESN'T get text messages, thank goodness) is that I get to see my awesome MO every three months for the next three years. She is the Chief of the Department, and has gotten another promotion at the hospital, so she rarely sees patients any more. Did I mention I LOVE her?
I am concerned about a few issues with my implants, so it will be nice to get her opinion on what I should ask the PS when I see him. I also want her to know about my back pain, and that the acupuncture she prescribed has been great for my overall joint and muscle stiffness! All I have to do for the Research Nurse is to fill out some questionnaires and pee in a cup to prove I'm really taking my Femara.
Think DH and I will work out in the yard today... everything is in bloom!
Supposed to be 91 on Tuesday!!!!!

Blessings, it's supposed to heat up here this week, too. Yay, spring!

I'm trying to catch up, but you ladies move fast. My memory sucks for commenting because I can't remember who says what or who is doing what or who is having tests or problems. But I promise I do read.
