INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

Fierce, you are welcome anytime..... honest! My oldest Daughter is the strong willed one! I mean sometimes I am sure SHE is the Mom, when I am not doing something that she wants me to do....
The youngest, (53) is the mellow one.... The oldest one IS just like her Father also! Very opinionated, and their way is always the only way..... but I don't pay any attention to DH anymore.... and usually not my Daughter....Ha! She is the one that swears we need another dog.... I can't do it now.... still too painful from losing Lacee...
Maybe someday....
But She always told us how much she appreciated that DH and I were always in agreement raising those two.... One of us never went against the other.... and they appreciate that when they get older.... they have to have boundaries as much as you can, but when they leave, that all goes up in smoke.... Ha!
It is just so hard, to mold them into something you want to be proud of..... Glad you support your Husband.... even if you think he is a little hard on her .... Sometimes I tried sitting down, and trying to talk things over with them, and sometimes I wrote a nice little note, and laid it on her pillow.... You can say a lot that way, and don't have to listen to them cry or argue....

I'm sure some of you will understand this! But for the others, yay that you can sleep peacefully through the night! -
2Ta---re: glowing. I glow until july 25th. It's decaying at a fixed rate. The doc from Moffitt said "If I had come to Moffitt, they may have not treated me with RAI131". Great. It's still interfering with my life and I may not of needed to have it. Revisit soon. he said he'd let me know his opinion then after further review. He was respectful of my docs, but said that their plan was still being carried out throughout the USA, but it was old.The NRC guy hasn't emailed yet. But that's fine. The phone call was the best. He said they moved slow and kept emphasizing that. LOL It's government, I get that.
I accomplished what I wanted. Which was to get someone to read the material. I figured he wouldn't have called if he hadn't read it and likely talked with some folks. Cool. That's why I wanted to go to the top. Often working with something, we are so used to it, we don't see an obvious flaw or omission.
For example, when my old hospital built an external sx center in the early 90's, they didn't include a nurse in the planning. LOL they didn't put a sink in recovery room. DUH. A nurse would have noticed that in the plan.
Happy it sounds like you are feeling better?

Finally getting the chance to check in, been very busy today.
Susan and FBB, we need to talk and compare notes are we all seem to be going thru similar things with our young-adult DD's (mine is 20). I had to get up "early" today (7:30 is early when you go to sleep at 2:30) to run to the grocery store as she let me know late yesterday her car is having problems and she wanted to borrow mine today (she has to drive about 30 miles one way for hospital internship from 7-midnight today and I don't want her getting stuck on the freeway as the late hours). Been doing chores since then. She buzzed in, complaining and was gone 5 minutes (if I blinked I would have missed her).
Sassy, you're scheduled to be "glowing" till my parents' anniversary so I should be able to remember that. I'm somewhat better, thanks! Have to tell you later about my "not so great" day yesterday: had to call the city's public works dept because I was having problems with subcontractors doing work at new next door neighbors (they started moving in the beginning of the week, haven't even met them yet) and getting my DH's truck stuck went I went to take it to the drive-thru car wash about 10:30 last night. With the BCO systems problems, let's just say it wasn't one of better days in a long time! And a good note, I made "friends" with the Great Dane next door and while she has a fierce bark, she's a wimp after all!
Thanks for all the pics and smiles.....

2nd hysterical!!!
Hi everyone--I've had another sleep a lot day and I slept just OK last nite--
Big weekend going on.DD1 BD party at her house, but we're not staying long way to many people and I don't knw hem and the ones I do I don't really care for. I know that's terrible but almost all of them are his friends he's picked up along the way and the reason is they are fantastic drinkers or they wouldn't be there. My DD's friend don't even like thm so they don't hang around all nite either. But Sunday is my sister and BIL surprise combined BD party si I'm looking forward to that one like crazy--but I know 2 days will knock me out so that's another reason why tomorrow won't be to long. So those are my plans.
-
I have to have that shirt.
-
You know, I'm not sure that I will survive these hot sweats if they don't go away before my hair grows back!!!I hate summer in Texas!!
-
I'm with you Tang and it's not even that hot yet. Seems the humidity is worse this year. I spent the winter freezing, wish I could remember that feeling.
-
Effexor did help with my hot flashes from Arimadex. I'm off both now, will start aromasin? Tues. We'll see how that goes. Right now I can't even brush my teeth in the a/c without looking like I just got out of the shower. Summer in Florida is no picnic either.
-
Aw Geez Cammi! Couldn't be Italian could they? Most undoubtedly they are. Yes.... I remember their parties.... any excuse for a party. If a worm was on a sidewalk, "let's party"..... and drinking to over-excess was required.
How many times I cried on the way home, with him driving! Thank God we grew into some sort of sense, and with age, it sort of corrected itself...... meaning I got so pissed off, I would not go anymore, or stand for anyone getting drunk at my house.... mostly. I grew UP with it, but even as a little girl, I had enough brains to HATE anyone drinking themselves silly... or meaner than hell.
So YOU go.... I'll stay home and think of you... Just take Phylli's paint-ball gun and shoot them all if they get drunk... Fill your pockets with snacks, and tell your Sister "see ya' later girl-friend, it's past my bed-time!" Don't let Joey see them acting stupid.... kids remember that stuff...... like I did.
Yes 2222222nd! That is OUR shirt....Ha!
Tang.... sorry about the heat.... Just stay in where it is air-conditioned? Do you guys have swamp-coolers there, or is it too humid? I LOVE our swamp cooler...
Spookie.... I know.... DD in Orlando says it is sometimes miserable to work out in her garden.... Janie comes back Monday... She said they went to the Rainbow-river, and she and her Sister kayaked and one GS and his friend got in a Canoe! Said is was really beautiful.... They all got sun-burned! They just stay busy, because Sheri takes them to every sight there is to be seen! The first day, they went to that Harry Potter thing at Universal! Said it was amazing!
The younger one got soooo sick, on the ride, she could hardly stand up. Now these kids are 53 and almost 55.... I know they are not "kids" but .... oh well, yes they are.... to me.
I'll just be glad when she gets back home safe...I mean to her own place... which is only 3 miles from us.
Later Gators!

Good Morning all
Pretty Pic. Chevy and as usual u got it all mixed up. The party for my DD are all the drunks and just a couple of Italians, but these are the ones I can't stand to be around. My sister's is yea all Italian but not much drinking there, even on the holidays we 're just not drinkers, But I know I don't like Joey to be around all those others and he doesn't like it either actually. Cuz they do get stupid.
So I'm looking forward to my sister's party a lot cuz I get to see a lot of my family and I don't have to bring a thing, I asked but it's all being catered so it's easy on everyone, and easy is my name--yes Chevy even in HS like you.
Joey's up and he's making my coffee so I'll go join him for now --I'll se u guys later. MUAH
-
See I said I'd be back---good coffee but I had to add an extra scoop, he measures like exactly, I threw in a big extra one for good Luck (I told him)
I was thinking (CHEVY!!!) I watch these crime shows real and fiction and they are always using a computer to find all kind of things like crazy and fast and here I can't even do a picture. Now when I worked we only had an in state computer but they could tell who was using it, ell I did figure a lot out on there (when I had a useful brain) ad found lots of private stuff until they put a ban on using it for stuff we shouldn't --I'm sure I wasn't the only one, but I did figure out passwords and stuff and now I can barely figure out what I'm doing. I should have become a hacker when I could have, it's much to late now. But I never had a computer til a few years ago--Oh well, see what I really think about--nothing just thought I'd share.
-
to my Owlettes, good morning!
-
222nd! That is so true! I love it!
Yes Cammi, I love all those crime shows too! We should be soooooo intelligent, watching them so much, right? So I guess that means we ARE! Okay..... you can go.... but just don't stay too long at that party.... with Joey anyway..... suppose you will leave KatieKat at home alone again to fend for herself, and have to fix her own food! Take some mace.... so's you can spray the rightfully inebreated ne-er-do-wells.....
-
Is it THIS party? You are not safe there.....
-
hello owls, back after a hiatus. Lost power for a couple days due to bad storms then had clean-up to do but we're all OK and that's what matters.
Someone (luvmygoats?) asked about the traveling BCO sisters. There's a handful (and, yes, we can be a handful LOL) who are the core group that goes just about every year, and we meet up with as many locals as we can during the trip. This year, we got to meet 2TA and SDB who post here, LOVELY ladies!
This was our fourth annual vacation. We've been to Minneapolis, Chicago, Wash DC, and now California, which we loved so much we may go back next year!
Tonight, while you are all at a wild party, I'll be in Milwaukee. I surprised mom with tickets to Il Volo in concert with the Wisconsin Philharmonic. They're three young Italian tenors, maybe you caught them on American Idol a few years ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbZvz0pXV48
L&H&P's to all! ♥♥♥
-
So DD agreed that if I set up a family therapy appointment she would go. So that is something positive. Going to hold firm on the car. We'll offer to continue paying the insurance until she is 21 in two months, (hopefully rate will drop then) and then she's got to pick up the tab since she will be working. Life is tough when you've got to put your big girl panties on and pay bills since you don't want to live at home and follow rules.
Going to do laundry today. I hate laundry!
-
This is my answer to Chevy's neat garden. This is taken from the street. DH's theory is that one flower is good and many is better. There is one small piece of grass. About the right size for 2 chairs and a small table to hold the ice tea. BTW, this is the first photo I've gotten to post in months. Changed my browser.
-
aw, Badger, nice to get to meet you too! Kindergarten and Whippetmom joined us too.
Wren, beautiful!
FIerceBB, small steps are good. Have more to comment, just don't have the time. Unfortunately, here in CA car insurance rates drop after age 25, not 21, you might want to check into that.
Have a great Saturday, everyone! BBL
-
When, that is breathtaking. I love natural spaces.
-
Happy Saturday to all... Today is the sandcastle contest in Cannon Beach, Oregon. I had hotels lined up, but it did not work out. It has been on my bucket list for 15 years. Next year...
I played golf 2 days in Nevada, beautiful weather. My niece played like a pro, we got first gross in our flight. $175 each to spend in the pro shop.
Now I am exhausted.
Cami, have a rockin good time with your family...
Wren, beautiful area, looks peaceful.
FBB, sounds like progress has been made with DD....
Philly, hang in there, thinking of you....
-
Okay, HIO! I'll bet you're going to tell us you play golf!
I only know a little about Golf, because of following our Grand-sons around a lot of courses here in Denver, and Grand Lake! I know about the restaurants on the course, also.... Ha! Now they live on a golf course in Dr. Phillips in Orlando, and they are still playing golf with their Dad when they can! That second picture is beautiful! Is that where you were? Also in Oregon? Well, it's beautiful!
-
wren, what a beautiful yard!
We went to the sand castle competition eleven years ago. It was great. I'd like to go again one year. Right now though, hubby isn't in to anything that interferes with fishing. Maybe next year or the one after that.
Badger, you ladies ought to come to Seattle sometime. You'd love it.
-
Oh all the places u gals go it's wonderful, and the colors are so pretty in the garden r whatever that is and yes Chevy that was the exact party I went to. U know what a party animal I am.
FBB that was really good to read, and so it begins.
Well it's storming like mad here so I'm getting skeered, and I'm watching a skeeery movie, so I'm really stupid.
BTW Chevy we might not be that smart, but I bet we can commit a crime and get away with it. Disclaimer if any Government Org. is reading this I am just teasing Chevy cuz we do that not now or before or in the futre will we plan or execute any crime what so ever. Bwahahahaha
-
ANYONE HERE HAVE A HORSE?
-
Oh? Cammi, did you see THAT? Blessings posted that pic of that horse with that "fly-mask"???
Now that makes me wonder... Is THAT what they are for? I had no idea!!! I've SEEN them on a few, but thought they were just to help them sleep or something! Can you imagine THAT? Here is a better one...
But good idea blessings...! But do they do that for Pigs? I mean THEY would really need it! So you see, all that I know about live-stock you could fit into a thimble.
I just found out the difference between a Bull and a Steer, and Now I have forgotten THAT.
See I was getting into an argument one time with these 2 ranchers, when I was working a promotion for Pepsi, and they brought their Bulls or Steers to promote THEIR meat or something... And they were talking and I just asked "but what is the difference between the Bull and the Steer? Now I was really cute at the time, and rather sweet.... So one Rancher just walked away.... And the other one said something like "Well, mam, the Bull has not been castrated yet" .... And I said "But why would they do that ANYway?" And then he politely excused himself and walked away also.
So whatever.... I STILL don't know why they would do that... I mean maybe it's just one of those mysteries of life... Cammi.... do YOU know?
-
Oh God.... don't look it up.... ! Those poor Bulls... I'll just stick to looking up things like rain-bows and White Rhino "flowers."
