INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

Chevyboy

So Sass! You mean to infer that you maybe are intense? NO! Can't be! You mean this?

Yes, you plolly are, but sometimes we all are.... We just have to keep it in check.

That's me and Cammi's job... Our job is to hang around here, and not let things get out of hand, and just act silly and non-sensical in order to takes one's mind off their problems.

By the way.... maybe not even "minimum".... Maybe more like nonexistent? I SWEAR, sometimes I think you don't read 1/2 of what I write. I am here for your protection... And since I am older, I can do that. I can make you mind....

And onceinawhile we even know what we are talking about! That's due to my age... With Cammi, it's because she is a working woman with a phone ..... and a plan! We don't know what that plan is, but she is working on it.

I still don't know what the Matrix is... Is it important that I look it up?

Or can I just go about drinking my coffee and looking lovely?

HIL said I was... something like that.

Notself! Geez! Glad you got through THAT one with your DH! Can you imagine what they did years ago? I mean even putting Turpentine on a sore or cut, was enough to make a kid go screaming!

My Grandma was trying to kill us probably.....

Morning Blessings, Tang and Littlegoats!

Come ON Cammi! Where ARE you? It's hard to give this advice all myself! Time to wake up grasshopper!

Good Morning ladies, a few don't fit in that catagory but no names mentioned  --oh like a car or something.

My trivia is The MATRIX Keanu Reeves and I think Morgan Freeman and I never saw it. cuz I don't know what a Matrix is, I thought it was like the center of something but what I don't know. Life can be very confusing at times especially when someone else writes it for you.

Oh how I hate these commercials on TV==it's always food that looks so good and what's here toast maybe I think it's raining and that is not acceptable today it's Saturday and I plan on going walking in the pool later--After I won the medal for swimming years ago--I gave it up, I think it was best for our country.

I was up most of the nite my body doesn't listen to me anymore, chit my bags are big enuff to pack my PJ's in them/ So I'll probably be back later..

OMG ILY owls!  I'm so far behind.  ((hugs)) to those in pain.

Here are some pix @ Big Sur, en route to Monterey. ♥ to all

Chevyboy

Cammi!  I am NOT a car!  I am a ...... Oh well, okay they....  I AM a car.  I am a Lady car....  Does anyone else know or even care what we are talking about?  Ha, ha~!

I think a Matrix is .... okay.... here it is!

This must have something to do with SOMEthing, but boy, ya' got me!

Chevyboy

Oh Badger!  I LOVE that drive from San Francisco to Monterey!  We stayed there, close to the water one night!  It's just magical!

badger

VERY pretty drive but that one stretch of road with all the hairpin turns was scary, especially when the fog rolled in!

ETA: and it was COLD there!  In the pic above left, I'm the only one dressed appropriately, with a sweatshirt, jeans, shoes and socks.

Enerva

Badger those pictures are great. I have never been in Monterey looks beautiful. 

My poor sister have been through a lot these past months. Her onco got her doing chemo, them after second chemo I requested for her to have an ultrasound to confirm the tumor was responding which I knew it wasn't. And Bingo I was right, so I spoke to her onco myself and asked him to act, knowing what happen to me we could not wait any longer. Turn out  two weeks after the second chemo her tumor grew larger and she got a second tumor growing. Then he agree to do the surgery, and cancelled twice due to her blood pressure been too high.

Now she finally had It done,  just on the 25th so we are now waiting for the pathology report which takes 3 weeks. To decide what's next

enerva..hugs and prayers your way

Chevy, I saw the matrix and still don't understand it..the big "turning" point in the movie was about taking a blue or a red pill. The red pill if you took it the story ends, the blue pill, it keeps on going.  I looked that up. Didn't understand the pills at the time..lo. Reeves took the blue pill and the movie got all futuristic. Have no idea what it was about....but he had a real cool long black coat !!!!  I guess we should all be taking the blue pill....keep on going girls !!!!!!!

Badger....love vacations . Great pics....have fun fun fun

Morning all.....a little work today and then I will finish knitting the baby sweater . I will send pics ..it is do soft....I want one

susan3

Good morning all

Smaarty

Morning owls!

If you ever want a warm visit to the Monterey area you need to hit it late fall, winter or spring. It's always cold in the summer there!  I'm planning on taking two GS there in August to the aquarium, I owe them a trip, 10 and 11.  Going to see two Gkids at a swim meet in a bit. 8 and 11. Haven't watched them yet. If I can get a pic I'll post later.

Yes Sassy, I did lost 25 lbs. BP still seems too low, 100/59. Will see the doc on Wednesday. I feel mostly fine, just off a little. It funny, I can do swim aerobics and it doesn't brother me, but 15 minutes of step aerobics and I'm pooped for several hours. 

Have a nice weekend all, and those needing extra. (((Hugs))))

Good morning Owlettes,

I love the pictures you posted of the West coast Badger. I have taken that route many times. I have family in the Monterey and San Francisco area. I also attended graduate school in south San Francisco. I had fun times driving up the coast hwy in my mini cooper back then. That hwy can be scarey when the coastal fog rolls in, I agree. 

My dog Annie Mae, the one who had her eyes removed, has rubbed the side of her face on the carpet and ripped a stitch or two out. So, she has a small hole where her eye used to be....looks a little creepy. Shes on antibiotics and wearing a cone. She will get stitched up again Monday and be a cone head for awhile. 

Ok, so some of you say I'm still young at 60. And I always heard its not polite to ask a woman her age. But.....how old are you owlettes on this thread? Are you in you sixties, seventies, eighties....or beyond? Anyone here younger than 40? Just curious. I saw some of your pics and you are all beautiful. 

gardengumby

I am 64 - 60 at Dx.

Chevyboy

Hi gals!  I'll be 77 July 31st!  Same birthday as Sassy....  My oldest Daughter gave me a key ring one time with an angel's wing on it, and it asked.... "How old would you be if you didn't know how old you were?"

If I WISHED hard enough, I would love to be maybe 50....  !  But then  I love all the years I have had from then until now!   Both of our Daughter's are older than 50.... Honestly I am happier now, than I ever was before!    So with age, comes maybe acceptance? 

You have to accept everything in your life, and look forward to tomorrow...  Sometimes I sound SO intelligent.... but then I wake up.

Enerva

i will be 41 in August 38 at dx 

Spookiesmom

If Prince Charles is 65, then so am I. We have the same bday, year, I use him to keep track of my age. 

Wren44

I'm 73 now, 74 in the fall. I was 71 at diagnosis. First BC anywhere in the family.

Chevyboy

Enerva...   I'll bet you are the youngest.... Sorry you were diagnosed so young!   But now you have a long, healthy life to look forward to!

 I thought I was too old to get BC... at 72....

Chevyboy

PattyPeppermint

43 now 

31 at dx 

Smaarty

64. But my head says much younger. Now I understand why my mom didn't like using her cane out in public because she thought it made her look old. She was over 80. HELLO?!!

Chevyboy

Sweet Peppermint!  YOU gotta be the youngest one here.... Okay.... I'll take care of you too....   Hope you are doing alright?  My Niece, always used this in her emails...

Smarty.... I feel the same way!  I'm just using my cane until it doesn't hurt my leg when I walk...  but it's a fancy cane...  so maybe it doesn't look too bad...

I just bought a foldable one... to take with us when we go to Orlando....  Hope I don't have to take it, or I mean I hope DD doesn't want us to walk around the world while we are there.... 

susan3

54 !!!! Missed diagnosis at 38.....found Waldo at 40...recurrence at 52

Still living life fully

Holeinone

Ah, Patty, you were so young when first dx....so sorry....

I think Tang just turned 40 a few months back. 

I celebrated 59 a month ago. 

Pawprint

Thank you for posting your ages. I know we all haven't checked in yet, but we have a wide range... I love that. We all take care of each other. Here is a pic of Annie Mae aka: conehead. Not a happy puppy today.

susan3

best looking cone I have seen

Way to young patty....

Sorry for all,of you who had to start this in the 30's.....God bless u gals

Chevyboy

Annie Mae is beautiful! 

Enerva

pawprint I miss the history as per what happened to your puppy I am usually behind here. Sending her lost of kisses hope she gets better and that she is ok to learn her way without her vision . 

Pawprint

Ahh...Annie Mae thanks you all. Enerva, My pup got diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and had most of her pancreas removed which put her into diabetes. The diabetes created pressure build up, both eyes, she went blind this year in January, but the eye pressure got so high her eyes had to be removed last month. The vet calls her a miracle since they were convinced she'd die in 2011 not long after surgery. But she's a trooper.
