INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

sas-schatzi

Except for pot when we do it together. I was angry until the clothes went over the fence. Anger then gone. So, it's an effective tool for me too. Non-conventional, but effective.

YOOOHOOOOOooooooLoverly up here, I think you missed what I said about the anger.

Loveroflife

just saw your post above mine and didn't see "for Sas" on my iPhone screen cuz it was not scrolled down and thought oh shoot what did I say to make someone mad

Whew! Safe this time. You see Ms Spookie, I can't say anything like that to her because....

Chevyboy

Yes.... Loverly is right.... The man is Italian.... He always has been..... They are by nature, very jealous, and bossy, and generally great Husbands.... and Dad's.... I forgot posessive and suspicious.... AND caring... when you are sick or injured.

Sass.... His clothes over the fence? And the neighbors aren't out there laughing and point their fingers? Hahhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaah! You could always burn them you know.... THEN he would know you were serious. All he has to do is throw them BACK over the fence, knock on your door in his black socks, and he is in like Flynn.

I know how these things work.

sas-schatzi

chevy, he has lot's of black socks......you going to try a trifle? Are the girls at the wedding?

Loverly, they're is something you can't say to me? Never. Tell us about your sister that is getting married. Details.

PattyPeppermint

sas you are so funny. I am always amazed when I see your pic. You are one that your picture doesn't match the picture I had of you in my mind. You act and talk like you are about 30. Too funny ocd separating clothes when you toss them over the fence. I love ya girl. Glad you already made up . That's the best part, right? After we swim I had a teeny tiny bite of the brownies. Manna from heaven. I may have to spend s couple more hours swimming to work all those calories off. Well worth it.

Loverl - love the frog pic

Spookie - I am def gonna borrow your line about slapping so hard...google lol

Jazzy - I love hummingbirds too. I have a feeder hanging outside my porch in front of the swing. Lovce to swing and watch them don't know mvh about them but am truly amazed how fast those little wings go

Blondie. -thinking of you my dear friend. Have fun

Hootie hoo

sas-schatzi

Patty, I entirely agree on the making up. I know crazy on separating the laundry. The time I did that clean on the inside and dirty on the outside, I told my counselor Gary. He laughed and laughed. He said it was totally within character. Hmmm 30, okay I'm 30. A case of arrested development? Then DBF is robbing the cradle at 55, rather than me at 64.

So, what is the new pain drug combo, and how much thyroid med? There is some association with low thyroid and pain. I was interested to hear your response to new thyroid level. Were your thyroid labs abnormal? Or is this a trial to see if you feel better? Consider Selenium 200mcgs once a day and zinc 50 once a day. My research lead to those as being specifically good for thyroid support. Nice for the Liver too. Bigwig thyroid doc supported it. Initially, I was taking selenium 100, he said to increase to 200. I thought cool, he agreed and had an opinion on dose.

Smaarty

For Chevy, especially. Always makes me laugh. And everybody else too.

SAS, where is Phillie?

Tang, nice to see you pop in. How's the little one doing? DH doing better

sas-schatzi

Smarrty, Phyllis is in Houston this week for 3 month follow up scans after finishing trial. The scan last Tues showed no progression in area on sternum and it is shrinking. Her doc told her the dying cells could go on for two years. Next week she is going to have the insertion of the internal nerve stimulator for pain control. Her pain is neuropathy of the lower extremities. She's staying with BBF. she drove by herself to Houston. She's back to volunteer activities. She sounds great.

blondiex46

Lover hey there

Patty great pix..

Susan how ya doing

Loveroflife

Hi, Ms Blondie! Happy to hear you are ok and having a good time. I wish the timing was different so I could meet you at the same time as Ms. Sass and Ms. Spookie. Did your team take care of your nausea? Zofran ODT works fast.

Loveroflife

Ok Ms Sass, I saw your post about anger. It is interesting how when you are angry, your OCD is still at work haha. I usually don't react when I am mad ( I hardly explode) I usually internalize my emotions which is not healthy. My sister, the one that is getting married, told me that I need to let it out the next time someone makes me mad. Here is a text she sent me months ago.

Life is too short to harbor anger.

Loveroflife

Ms. Chevy, I think we married the same man, except mine is not Italian. I am sure you figured that out by now by my daughters' pics. You described my DH to the teeth

Loveroflife

Pic of my little Sis and her flower girl( her Fiancé's niece)

She met him in Hawaii while he was stationed there. Just got back from Afghanistan last year and proposed to her a few months later

Spookiesmom

So pretty!!!!!!

sas-schatzi

Pretty love the dresses, fairytale. Is he still in the military? Tampa would be Mc Dill. No exploding anger, I don't let it get that far. I get to the line in the sand and say that's it...........next move. Now, I have done the primal scream. That's a whole different ballgame. Primal scream never done related to DBF.

Blondie Happy thoughts. Enjoy. Glad the boys are playing nice.

blondiex46

Happy thoughts

Awesome dresses

Smaarty

sassy, thanks for the update on Phillie.

Love that style of dress. Very pretty bride.

Loveroflife

No, he is done. He is hoping to join the bomb squat or homeland security.

"So I was snorkeling and Brandon told me to take a pic and he sunk down on one knee and proposed! 😍💍" ...this was how he proposed. So sweet.

Yup, fairytale wedding theme. I think she is having her bridesmaids dress up as Cinderella, Snow White, etc.. It's good her fiancé is very patient. One of my Sis is Snow White and wants my younger daughter to be her dwarf.

You see Marlana, I have a wacky family too and I am the only normal and calm one.

blondiex46

I think that is kinda cool

Yay wish times could have been different 

Spookiesmom

my smarty pants DD just got back from Chevy Land. Tells me they saw big horn sheep yesterday.

Rosevalley

The dress is lovely and I am sure you will have a great time. Hope they have long happy life together.

Jazzygirl

Hi ladies- just got home from the afternoon of music which included some nice jazz with a friend of mine and her band, plus a group playing klezmer music called the Klezmatics. I will say that I know little to nothing about Jewish music, but had checked out this group on You Tube before today, and it reminded me of my days being in the cast of Fiddler on the Roof in junior high. They were really good and lots of folks dancing. Went out for a late lunch with the friend I was with, and as we headed back, the afternoon t-storm rolled in. Glad the rains held off for the outside music today.

Blondie- I bet you had to recover from the the travel. It sounds like you are having a fine time in Florida so far. I am sure you will find a place to wear that scarf before you leave! I hope the boys are doing okay too.

Loveroflife- how beautiful are those girls and those dresses!

Spookie- it is always a treat to see the long horned sheep. I always look for them up in Colorado, but we also have some up in the Taos Gorge to the north of here.

Got a few things to do before I get my end of the day work out in at the gym. Have a lovely evening my friends.

Freygea

Blondie! Great to see you here. Glad you are enjoying yourself. I envy you gals getting together . I really really really hope you make many fun memorie on your trip.

Lover the wedding dress is beautiful. Breathtaking picture.

PattyPeppermint

loverly. - your sister looks beautiful. What s romantic story

SAS. - I've been on thyroid med for several years and haven't needed s doseage adjustment. I take synthroid 100 mcg. Tsh standard range is 0.35 - 5.5. Mine was 150_ then to 100 and steadily down with increased synthroid dosesge . a couple weeks ago it was 9.81. Getting closer. Feeling so much better not going to increase doseage anymore for now . For pain taking 60 mg extended release morphine twice a day. For break thru pain taking 8 mg diladid as needed. Haven't taken the diladid in a few weeks. N

Spookiesmom

She took the boys to Estes Park? Yesterday, then s shuttle up about 9,000 feet. The guide said they might see the sheep, and elk. Guess that's was as close as they got. Think they all had a good time, pooped out tonight from plane.

Music sounds fun!!

thanks am good recuperating, was exhausting.....

Chevy--I can picture you hiding under the bed, trying not to giggle. And my stumpet days are long behind me--too many years in law enforcement and a knowledge of how many evil people exist in the world but there's nothing wrong with a little flirting! Ah, but that first trip to Italy...I was 28, hair dyed deep auburn red and had a broken heart. The irony is that my ex was a cop and I got picked up on by Italian cops from every different agency and in almost all 20 cities! And a couple of US Marines in Venice, 10 years younger than me, tried but they made some very explicit comments in English as they were standing next to me, thinking that I was Italian. Boy, did those boys get a lesson about manners when on shore leave in a foreign country!

Loverly--great story on the proposal. I kind of like the idea of the princess bridesmaids. Chevy has mentioned the aloe vera juice and I even looked at my local Walmart but came up empty. My MO has the big guns out for this latest acute issue--80 mgs omeprazole per day, 1 gram of carafate (an ulcer med) 3xs per day plus liquid carafate for coating my esophagus. So far so good but they all create nutrient absorption issues so the aloe vera may be a long term solution for the chronic condition.

And my mom is the straight man/sane one but she was a psych nurse for 20 years so she's used to the inmates running amuck.

Blondie--thank you! I'm glad that you are having a great time. And that you're getting some rest when you need it.

Sas--I admire that your line in the sand is before a break up. I need to learn to do that--probably why I'm still single but I have very few things that would make me dump the proverbial clothes over the fence so it's probably more along the line of finding someone that understands I'm pretty intractable on some subjects. I once had an ex-Bf tell me that he didn't like that we never argued but my career, and now BC has reinforced, my belief that life's too short to sweat the small stuff. And I'm jonesing for trifle!

Jazzy--go out and enjoy for those of us who are trapped on the couch. I did see a hummingbird through the window today but that's about as far as outdoors as I made it today. I know this is only temporary but I can't wait for it to be done so I get back to the living!

Patty--hoping the kids didn't have anything contagious. If I did have a pool, it's not warm enough for a 5 am swim here! But we may have some "weather" this week! Yay!
