INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

Chevyboy

And so what is the significance of the white steed and the whatever it is?   Do I have to stay up all night, to make sure you are staying out of trouble?   Geez, I sound like your Mom!    Make sure you lock the door, when you sneak back in the house!

Chevy, I think SAS's avatar is Don Quixote.

She's tilting at windmills again, right sassy? ♥

I may be done with individual responses for a while... My Femara trigger finger has gotten really bad and tonight I have it splinted and wrapped up in layers of bandages to immobilize it. Makes it very hard to type...

So if you see me out somewhere and it looks like I'm flipping you off, I'm really not - it's just my middle finger that has been affected!

camillegal

Blessings I'm sorry for that--Another words every one I see flipping me off I'll think of you. OK someone explain to me what frozen shoulder is and trigger finger is. I really don't know. I know all about infections, but not these things, but I want it in layman's terms.

Remember I'll be gone tomorrow til Sunday afternoon so I probably won't be around so don't say anything important til I get back. But u can insult me all u want cuz I won't care.

so far behind, I'm staying on this page 

Phylly, is that you're yard? I am SO envious!

Nettie, progress! Hope you're having a great weekend

Cammi, just love it! "...every one I see flipping me off I'll think of you." Priceless! I'll be laughing every time someone flips me off  (and here in CA, that's quite often), I'll think of your comment.

Badger, is that your adorable cat or did you borrow it from the Internet?

Which reminds me, Blessings, your right about the cat butt photo! Ouch. I was so excited Snowball was finally being near me (this is the cat we didn't see for years) I didn't realize how that photo looks to others. So, hopefully, I'll replace it. Edited to delete it. BTW, that cat chasing dog video, they have shown it so much here. Heard it actually happened closer to you and they're going to honor the family (and cat) at a baseball game next week.

Wren, will have to reminder the camel comment, too funny! 

Smaarty, aka wizard of bras, you are SO talented! Can't begin to imagine what work goes into fitting one of those, would never take that on (couldn't even fit pants properly, can't begin to think how funny a bra I'd sew would turn out).

Chevy, you make me smile!

Jwow, saw a post on FB of a woman with a beautiful henna design on her head and thought of you. Will have to try to get pix next time I scrunch my hair. 

Teka, sweet Teka, thanks for keeping W&F so fun and uplifting. 

Better post before I lose it all.

not sure this will post correctly

Is this better?

I love all the pics that some of you are posting. 2nd those Friday dancing cats cracked me up. Sas I can't keep up with all your avatar changes, or that quick mind of yours. Cami I'll miss your posts until Sunday. Blessings sorry to hear you are flipping everyone off, hope the finger heals up soon. Nettie I rarely comment individually, there is too many of us here, and the thread moves fast, subjects keep changing, and I tend to lurk, not always post. You doing ok holeinone??

Way too much smoke in the air out here and another new fire in the area today. Hard to breathe. Was in Temecula (near San Diego) today and the skies were brown and ash was falling on my car from the fires. Yucky....

Got email from my oncologist that she is setting up my iron infusions. Once a week, 4 hour drip, for 8 weeks, then blood work to check levels. Anyone ever had bone marrow test?? Wish they could figure out what's causing my iron storage and serum iron, and binding iron to drop so low. I do one thing and have to rest, then do another thing and rest. Can't exercise at all. It's crazy that I can rest, but not sleep. Take care everyone. 

Anonymous

Pawprint, you're awake too? You answered all my questions. Sorry to hear about the infusions hoping that will help. 

Pawprint

Hey 2nd that Cat knocking that Dog off of that boy and then chasing the dog away is so amazing. I hear the baseball teams are going to ask the Cat to throw out the first pitch....that Cat can probably do it . )

Anonymous

lol! Oops, waking the sleeping cat next to me. That cat was amazing! You're right, the cat could probably do it. Cats are awesome too. How are your furbabies?

Pawprint

Annie Mae having discomfort in her eyes and taking pain meds. Hope she gets her eye surgery soon. Snuggs is doing great, oblivious to everything except her food ). You smelling the fires by you?

Anonymous

oh, poor Annie Mae, hoping she gets relief soon. Snugs sounds like a cutie. I didn't go outside today (except to empty trash and that was quick). Was down in OC this evening, beautiful there (oh, but you would know that right?). Not too bad here. Have heard a lot of the low flying heavy-duty helicopters, like the water dropping kind yesterday and today.

reminds me, Sassy, playing the "let's escalate this" insurance problems. Seems they correct one issue and cause another. And they want ME to be patient with their errors? That would be no. Did throw out, "should I call my senator or rep to get this corrected?" Politely told them they needed to escalate the issues to the highest level. Fat lotta good that's going to do me!

Now that's it's been posted to FB, my DD was awarded 2 scholarships tonight at her college's banquet. So wonderful all her efforts have been recognized. (Especially after the week I had, glad for something to smile about)

Pawprint

The last time i was in the OC was on Wednesday. It was 102 degrees that day there!! Crazy hot weather. Tonight I got home at 9:30 and realized I left my iPad at work. So I drove back near Temecula tonight at 10 pm, the 15 FWy was backed up. Hard to see clearly because of the thick smoke from the new fire on the base. I hear next week we will finally get cooler weather. Let's hope so. 

Anonymous

Yowza! The thermometer on the back patio read over 100* (was it Thursday or Friday?), anyway, just too hot. Sorry you had to make the extra trip, at least it wasn't to OC. 

Pawprint

Yes, Temecula area much closer. I never mind long drives though, I like driving, don't like heavy traffic. I notice you are posting on Inland Empire get togethers. Hope to see everyone again. That's great your daughter got awarded 2 scholarships. No one wants to pay those high long term student loans. I am still paying mine  

Anonymous

Sorry, busy writing a PM...

Traffic sucked at 5 PM (91/57 awful).  Don't know how you do it every day, but then again, I used to drive up the 605/5 area. I'm sure I'm boring everyone else on this thread!

let's not talk about college loans..... Glad North OC has generous rich people. Yes, trying to generate IE interest for get-together, we'll see what happens. Would love to see you again.

Am rambling again, must be getting tired (I could only wish). 

Pawprint

I'm getting tired as well. Going to charge the iPad and try and get some sleep. Thanks for chatting with me 2nd. Take good care.

good night, Pawprint! Sleep well! Hoping its cooler tomorrow

Chevyboy

How fun, you two talk to each other, like you are on the phone, or are close together!   So sorry about all the fires!  It is just so frightful and awful!

I remember about 10 years ago, there was a fire up in the mountains, near Bailey I think it was, and the SMOKE was covering Denver!  It was so bad, and yes all the ash was falling everywhere.   I had to stay IN, run the humidifier, keep all the windows closed, and had an asthma attack anyway.   So if you have any problems at all, it will surely make breathing worse.

Take care of little Annie Mae little Paws....  I know you are.... wish I could help......

And congratulations 222222222nd!  Good Job!   You AND your Daughter!  I'll bet you gals are on cloud 9!

camillegal

22222nd It's wonderful to hear about u'r DD--Congratulations for both of u.

I didn't realize the fires were getting so bad so soon. Jeez U have to really watch what's going on and be careful. I didn't even know it was that ho-OMG that's horrible. way to hot. I'm glad u 2 got to talk. I hav no idea why this is underlined, I hit something.

So Good Morning everyone else--I'll see how much I will be awake--Oh of course I took my shower Oh I smell so good the aroma is permeating my room.--delicious

We actually had snow yesterday but rain today, like 7 degrees warmer--it's cold out, like the beginning of winter--I'm telling you very soon it's going to be so hot we won't be able to stand it. Damn weather--We'r supposed to have 4 seasons, yea well it's turning into 2 nd 1/2 the last couple of yrs. Oh well, OK I'm going to get my coffee I hear people up so I know coffe is ready--they don't like my coffee so I rarely make it. They drink like 3/4 cup--that's all and it's weak---not me--Oh well.

Maybe BBL

Chevyboy

Cammi! WTH did you DO with your LINES ???  how did you do that?  I can't even DO it, no matter how I tried!   You must be smart AND permeated!   Smartypants!  A shower, eh?  Always trying to beat me to one... 

Yes, you got our cold wet snowy weather!  It's nicer out here now, but still supposed to rain, and  stay above 40 degrees at night! 

They talk about our 4 seasons here, too!  Spring, Summer, Fall, Mud and Winter.  We really are lucky here though.... nothing too extreme in the big city... 

Just everyone smoking weed though, I think.  Funny, they are talking about how State Revenue is way up, and crime is way down!   That's because smoking weed must be VERY expensive, and you are too fogged up to go cause trouble!   Am I the only one who is still so old-fashioned that it just seems wrong?   And don't go telling me to go try it.... ain't gonna happen...  I would be too afraid it would screw up my brain.... shut up Cammi....  xoxoxoxoxo

camillegal

Hahahaha Chevy  I have no idea how I did that I didn't do anything  with the above thingies, now If I wanted to I can't chit. Yea thanks for the snow Chevy not appreciated but somehow I knew u'd get it here. When I saw it right away u came to my mind not pleasantly either. LOL

Chevyboy

Well, at least it won't stick around!   So you mean you didn't put on your boots and parka, and go play in the snow?  I saw the little 4 year old next door, "Ivy"  CRAWL in the snow from her back yard to the front!  Ha, ha!  Her little Sister just watched her in amazement!  I mean there was like 6 inches out there, and Ivy was enjoying it completely!  

I am now the official Chicken Sitter until Sunday night!  Yay!  I don't exactly SIT for them, I just take them scraps and food, and I take Edith the cat her canned food...Ha!  

So the bottom line here is, I don't get "high" and I don't like to "fly"..... Ha, ha!  Seems like an oxymoron or something.... Let's ask Sass or Lilshit what that MEANS!

badger

hi all, headed out of town for a wedding soon.  Will be a fun night with family.  Tomorrow, meeting a Milwaukee-area BCO sister for Sun brunch.  (but sassy not at a CB LOL!)

2TA, that happy cat is from the internet.  Had to post it to W&F for Teka, she always makes me smile!

♥ and ((hugs)) to all

Teka

sas-schatzi

Badger,    Have fun at the wedding Yes it's Don Quixote. Yes, chasing a windmill again and pondering it's if it's worth the effort. What's different here is they can hit a delete button and I can't. That's an awfully powerful control. Orwellian.
It's not just that we disagree. There were very specific reasons I posted the needymeds web site where I did. They never asked. They just said I was spamming and hit delete.

Anyways, I've pondered enough, I'm going to do a thread and try to have an open debate.

So, it's done here now. Chevy

Teka, never been good at that LOL

Blessings-----bad bad finger. Are you going to get it fixed? The  AI's are such poison. They are justhorrid to the body.

Pawprint  yes, the avatar went from one DQ looking at a windmill.  To one that charged the windmill. Then to this quieter DQ. So sorry you all are going through such awful fires. scary, scary, stuff. 1998 we had fires here in Florida for months. At the first or second one that there was talk of evacuation. I packed laundry baskets. One had important paper and pics--in case that was the only one we could grab. The others had keepsakes wrapped in underwear ,sox, and clothes. That way there was no lost space. Some how I calculated how many baskets could be loaded  into the minivan. Laundry baskets b/c they could stack and they had handles. They stayed packed until August. Don't think I did food, now I would do a food basket and liquids

I've assisted on bone marrow bx's. ????'s Hmm don't know anything ( I think)  about your blood problem, but I'll take a look

 

Teka

sas, stay inside the lines, is safe but boring!

SNOW? I wish we had that long enough to chill our heat. 

Cami, how DID you do the underline? Can't do on the pad that I know.

Chevy, the Chicken Sitter? Don't know why, that gives me the giggles this morning. Maybe I'm tired

It's been an emotionally tough week. Glad it's over, ended on a great note. 

For the record, I think Pawprint and I are geographically close, maybe 25-30 miles? Pawprint, you'd know better. 

Happy Saturday all!
