Meece, you are truly dating yourself! But, I made it back.
Ainm, back to you. Lovely poem.
-
Very nice, Ainm!
If my wrinkles and gray hair haven't dated me yet?

Fighting a heck of a cold - not a happy camper at all.

Thanks JO. Took some Nyquil last night and Dayquil this morning and I'm feeling a little better. It's always hard to tell whether it's allergies or a cold but allergy meds yesterday did nothing so I went for the cold medicine. Still a little stuffy so probably will take another dose of Nyquil tonight. Claritin does nothing for me but make me feel extremely dried out, I mean extremely dry so I stay away from it prefering Zyrtec for allergy.
Glad you got over yours.
-
HUGS to all.
-
Hugs back at you, Patoo.
-
HUGS to you too, Ainm, JO-5, seyla, Eph3_12.
-
-
How is everything going for you, Ainm?
-
Patoo, will you add "CC" (capsular contraction) to the abbreviations? Thank you.
-
Sounds like you've had recon, TooManyCocktails! CC adds just one more issue to deal with.

@Meece, I have not had reconstruction or plastic surgery of any kind yet. I'm still not familiar with all the terms for breast reconstruction. I was looking up the types of surgeries and complications and felt like I was reading Greek due to all the abbreviations. I appreciate this abbreviation page very much. It is very useful to me.

Hi all! Back from my beach vacation & back to the grindstone! Trying to catch up with posts on all the threads I hit! The beach was WONDERFUL!
-
Done TooManyCocktails, thanks.
HI Joni, what beach did you go to?
HUGS everyone.

It was mini-family reunion at Yachats Oregon (central Oregon coast) it was fabulous-great weather & my DD took a friend so she wasn't moping about with "old" people for a week! We saw whales & I cleaned my brother's clock in ping-pong! Couldn't ask for a better 5 days!
-
Night friends. Had lots to do so just passwing through. More tomorrow (hopefully).
-
Thanks for adding that Patoo.
-
The end of another week. I hope the heatwave is not affecting any of you too badly. It's been a dredful summer here in Ireland - ugh nasty cold grey weather!!
Meece - how is your new grandson?? Are you well settled in your new job now? I still haven't plucked up the courage to try and look for a job - ooh my tummy lurches when I think about it!!
((((((((((((Hugs to all)))))))))))))))))))
-
Hi friends. I'm off for a week so looking to you all to keep this at the top.
Keep cool everyone, a break from this heat is on the way. Ainm, sorry your weather is so drab. That just makes it harder to always be upbeat but you can do it.
-
Have a wonderful time Patoo.
Your thread is safe with us

We have been having relatively mild (for us) temperatures, but it's supposed to hit 98 today! Yuck!
