sass, I agree with Chevy, go to bed, do not pass GO!

Chevy, at least give DH color magic markers if he's going to paint. You might get a nice piece of artwork, or something!

Mags great photos, how are you feeling? I was so wiped out after the last blast of chemo. Also you got the Costco rib thing. I cracked some ribs, many years ago, skiing. Ouch, they take forever to heal. 

Chevy, as always you crack me up, ol' funny one. 

Rose, I enjoyed your posts & honesty. I have a younger DB who was brain damaged right after birth. Happiest person I know. 

I am way behind here, we decided to sell the home we raised our kids in. We have been here for 25 years. We still love the house but it is really big, needs a kitchen remodel, yard is huge. We live down the street from a Temple. Most of our neighbors have 5-7 kids. Time to downsize, one level. 

I have spent the last 2 weeks painting, cleaning, trashing, recycling. My fingers are raw. 

Thanks to all of you  for the posts, I come here & read, try to keep up with all you fabulous ladies. Think about everyone as I am working, how you are all feeling.

Patty Pepper & Tang, Fantastic family photos.....keep them coming.....

BB soon.....

Yes you are all right to be I go. Been on the phone and just made a sears repair apt for tomorrow. DBF doesn't know much about DW. I have the frig scheduled for maintenance check. The DW was the first sears product that I didn't get a service agreement. Could have gotten it when they were doing a frig check for and add on for 39 00 OH well.

DBF will change out valve  tonite, if it works, the I can cancel DW look see mechanic.

Ativan YAY.

 Called the flea guys too.

wow. No note taking today so I can only remember a little if what all I just read.  Hmm

Chevy - funny pics. You are so crazy. Love it. 

SAS.  I agree back to bed and cover your head. Start your day again later.   

Dutch - great to see you. 

Mags / funny disheasher pic.  Love puppies. 

Holeinone - great new avitar. 

2nd. Hang in there.  

Hugs to all. 

Dh and u took our two dogs to the vet for shots , then he treated me to breakfast and he was off to work. I went to the public library (I love the library ) then ran all kinds of errands all over town. Home and exhausted now.  Well at least I feel like I accomplished many things from my list today. Now nap time. 

Hootie hoo

I ordered a pair of knitted knockers...they said they'd be here 7-14 days. I'll let ya'll know what I think.

MO told me to stop Tamoxifin for a week because of dizzy/headache/ear ringing. We'll see.

Tang,

Hope you feel better!

Holeinone- I hear ya! I remember when my parents ditched their 4 bedroom colonial, huge bedrooms, 3 baths, family room, living room, dining, eat in kitchen on 1/3 acre..full of trees, leaves, bushes and a very steep driveway.  By the time they did the inside cleaning it was time to do the outside... and on and on... I mentioned to my Mom one day, " I think the house owns you two and not the other way around!" Plus in Pennsylvania the heating costs and AC costs were considerable and the taxes very high. They left for a townhouse and no yard work. Better fit. Just go walk the dog. Don't get too nostalgic and just move forward. It's hard with 25 years of memories! If you are up from a LDS Temple (I assume) the house will sell in 2 seconds. Good luck.

Sassy- you need to stay in bed and peek out only for potty runs... until you ditch this black cloud that is following you or the part comes for the water heater! Find the voodoo doll and pull out the needles! 

Mommy- men are such sissies about anything medical. You would think they are dying taking a prep! (of course it is rather nasty..)

Chevy- Your observations on med and healthcare made me laugh. I told my husband when he got an  ear infection one time, "you better get that looked at before it gets worse. You'll be sorry!" Sure enough he waited until it hit his inner ear - vertigo, barfing his guts up, fever - the works. Puked in the car on the way to the doctors office and ate popsicles with his eyes closed (everything made him dizzy) until the antibiotics kicked in. It was hard having too much sympathy. Of course I am no poster child for following medical advice - but to defend myself - I learned to avoid the office after many years of "compassionate care." I didn't start out feeling this way. ;-)

Off to the forest since it stopped raining. Forest therapy works for me - of course I would like it to be SUN therapy but the universe is not cooperating! (At least in the 14 day weather report there is nothing but rain.Prediction is that come June there might be sun.) Have a great afternoon owlettes.

Fell asleep, slept through thr return call anther day in the pool. It might be as long as a couple of weeks . I talked long enough to make Sure they understood what I was seeing. They are replaceing the whole unit. --it's ubder warranty--(iifetime) no charge for the unit.

luvmygoats

LIke this one Chevy? Sassy - hope you are securely planted in bed not touching anything electric or battery powered. Try a wireless mouse. I think the one I have in unbreakable. I used to carry it around with my work netbook in the car. Know I didn't treat it very nicely. Best thing ever invented - wireless mouse, keyboard. I know you have a laptop though.

Mommy - My advice for colonoscopy. I'm not a water drinker and mine was done in December. If his doc allows and he has no other restrictions use apple cider. Somehow that cut thru the nastiness of the prep some. I could chug it at room temp. DH I think mostly used water. He survived as did I though I got to be the guinea pig here.

GolfGirl - I know what you mean about the house. We are 45 minutes from our docs and an hour from DD (but that could change on a whim). Don't know how long we will stay out here. But house is paid for and can't really see DH crammed up next door to someone. Not a pretty sight. He puts on headphones when the dog crunches her dog food for pete's sake.

Speaking of DD. Last saw her June 26. I was supposed to go see her Sat. but she has to work. Holiday crunch time already. She works in corporate office logistics for major retailer. She promises - maybe - she will come out the next weekend.

The Dallas zoo had a baby boy giraffe born. 6ft tall, 120#. The Greenville SC zoo has the female back with the male. She had a stillborn calf this summer. So sad. They have a nice live cam. I keep forgetting to tune into the Colo. Springs giraffe cam. Eagles are beginning to build up their nests. Love them.

Yes Littlegoats!  That was the one!  Sometimes I just have to give up posting a picture, whether I try AOL, IE, or Chrome....  So what's wrong with this Daughter of yours?   We need to have a sit-down with her, and then smack her on top of the head, and say what's UP kid!  

That's what my GS needs with him and his Mom.  Except he wouldn't care... Ha!  I love that boy with all my heart, but I can't make him change how he acts around his Mom and his Brother....  so I'm glad I don't have to see, hear, or know what is going on there....  

Yes... we can't let Sass out of bed....  I think her DBFFFFFFF has a screw-driver, so she should be all set.   I don't know about that one..... but Sass, as long as you don't get hurt, we will keep him around..... YOU shouldn't, but  we can leave him out on the porch.   And throw him a morsel or two....  maybe a bowl of water.  

I know Rosie....  they have to be REALLY sick before they give in and go to the Doc's......  And we had better not say anything, or laugh the whole way to the Doctor's.  We must feel sorry for them....  and feign remorse.  Remorse because they are such dinks!

Hi, I'm semi awake. Went to Lowe's for part's DBF going to replace all the water valve turnoffs thingys in the house.

 Rheem who now owns marathon is replacing the water heater. Not sure all the hoops I have to jump through.

 

 

So they are standing behind the lifetime part. COOL........AHhh very cool for the next couple of weeks.

Iknow EVERYONE has shit going on. I had the one visit with Spookie, Phyliss, and Chevy that were sublime. I just want everyday that way. Whine.

MAGS: perfect-------------rotflol

chevy thanks! I saw that on warm and fuzzy.

I went to local Humana office this pm, told my story of woe. They called my piece of chit pcp, who called rads place, who FINALY said it's questionable if broken.  Now waiting for referral to Ortho.

It's still swelling, don't know how much is LE

Also changed pcp, effective sat

Evening Owlettes. You may find it hard to believe, but I hate to complain. You know, sometimes you just have to get it off your flat chest, so I come to BCO. You can always tell when your caregivers have reached the point of not wanting to do it any more, DH doesn't make my soda stream lemonade any more, and my cousin manages to be doing something at church every single day. I mean literally. She sings in two choirs, leads two support groups, helps with flowers and bulletins and anything else they ask her to do. I know she loves to feel needed, so she always says yes, but the fact is, she's needed here too, and she just doesn't have enough energy for both. So I do without. Because I'm not going to complain. It is hard enough to feel the way I do without feeling that if I need something I have to impose on someone else. I was such an independent person, ran my own business for 18 years, it has been a real stretch for me to be dependent on other people for everything. I'm tired of it, and I know they are too. Right now I just feel stuck between a rock and a hard place. 

Nothing that needs fixing, I just needed to vent. Thanks for listening.

Teka

Mags,

*Hugs*

footprintsangel

Teka

Foots,

Time for me to turn in, enough computer time.

Have a restful night.   Zzzz!

tangandchris

sleep is not coming easy for me tonight.....can't shut the brain off again. Thoughts are jumbled and sort of racing too.

((hugs)) everyone!

Smaarty

mags, if you're what the cat drugged in, then you need to get your bottom out of that tub, find a big fluffy robe, curl up with 1 or 3 glasses of wine, THEN call Chevy in the morning. 

Hope next week is better for you and all others here.

blondiex46

smarty what great idea like I said that what you're talking about ,you're fortunate that you had somebody taking care of you.  I started treatment with hormonals when I was re diagnosed  almost 5 years ago and I have never had anybody ever bring me food, bring offer to bring food or to come and take care of us.  I know you're grateful for what they do n u r entitled,  it is almost over.

colonoscopy well I got pills I didn't drink

Hey Foots how you doing feeling okay

I am here 4 a bit. unfortunately I was up all night went to sleep at 3 o'clock this afternoon until like five I'm not complaining anymore I'm just sayin it is what it is I can breathe oh now it's really important

sorry I forgot who is here and who wrote what and whatever Patti said she takes notes its 2 o'clock 230 in the morning finish gone girl didn't like the ending talk to you guys later have a good one bye

blondiex46

Rose where do u live if u don't mind me asking 

sas-schatzi

mags sorry l&h&p's 

Chevyboy

Morning gals!  So okay Sass.... sounds like you have all things coming together....  Does that mean DDBBBFFFFF can come in off the porch?  Did he have on his aluminum hard hat, with jeans and suspenders, standing there in his work-boots, with no shirt and a screw-driver in his hand?  No?  You did all this without him?

No-wonder he feels un-loved and un-appreciated. 

Mags...  when things get like that, you just have to say the hell with all you guys, I can do this on my own.  I know we sometimes need for others to think about US instead of themselves, but maybe they are just being mindless, hurtful and little chits.   We DO want help once in awhile, but if we depend on them, for our happiness, or even our every day needs, we will be stuck with just ourselves.

I say get out of bed, do as much as you can...  then go back to bed with a good book, a glass of Sass's White Sangria... maybe a pitcher I mean....!  Or else get really mad, and stomp your foot down and say "the hell with all of you"  I have OTHER friends and family, and I don't NEED you.

Or else just get up, keep your pajamas on, and go to Walmart.  Looking at some of those people, who have NOTHING wrong except no clue of a dress-code, will make you feel just soooo much better!

Blondie!  You got pills?  Isn't that like cheating?  Do they work the same?  I'm sure you will let us know.

magdalene51

Oh Chevy, I'd love to do all those things! DH actually made me an eggnog last night, with way too much rum – I like to actually taste the eggnog, not just the rum, so I kept getting him to add a bit more eggnog to it ("while you're up, honey?") 

Oops, big D. Be right back.

M0mmyof3

Yeah. He totally forgot that I have to have something to eat that night even though he can't on Sunday.
