I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

It's probably because I have ducks in my yard on a regular basis.

I did too.

"Say it ain't so!"

(And I'm not talking about the review site.) 

I was gone all day cleaning my trainer's house and then came home and pulled weeds in my flower bed.  DH came home shortly thereafter and we are watching the Tour De France together.  I am not a big fan but I want to spend time with my dh as he has been working long hours.

I will check back in later after he has fallen asleep

Just a lurker, but it looks like the dryer has spit out another sock on one of the numerous threads. Sheesh, how much is it going to take for this to be taken more seriously?



To be on topic, it is hot as hades here in the northeast, and I had stir fry for dinner, lol. No drinks for me, I'm on Xeloda, so everyone please have a crisp glass of Chardonnay on me!

Ok girls - it's official - I'm extremely unfit. I had been waiting until just before we left on our holiday to do the cleaning. The floors looked so dirty I gave in. Well, I only vacuumed downstairs (6 rooms) and washed our bathroom floor and I can hardly move. Those damm Miele vacuums suck so bloody hard - it makes it a tough job. Maybe DH will do upstairs for me - I doubt it though.

Dinner tonight are my beef frajita pizzas. Don't know if I've described them for you before but they are fantastic. I use strips of rump steak pan fried. Tiny indivdual pizza bases with pizza sauce, sliced onion and sliced green pepper arranged on the base. Add the pan fried strips of steak on top. Then add jalapenos - about 3 or 4. Top it off with pizza cheese and cook. Then I serve them with my guacamole and sour cream. They good thing is we always have a few left over for lunch the next day.

Hey, I know you are all suffering in the heat - who wants to come and house sit while we're gone. I think it's 22 or 23 Celcius today - our best winter weather. There are some cold nights coming up though - down to 6.

I wonder what it's like to talk to yourself - never tried it

Jancie - can you come and clean my house At one stage, I was actually sitting down vacuuming the rug in our tv room, I got so tired. I do love my Miele because it sucks so hard. It does follow me around without much trouble. Our house is really big, so it is best to do one level at a time. At least it's cool enough here. I would hate it even more if it was hot.

Thanks for the welcome girls! Blue, DH was in awe of the wee scot. What a charmer.

Left my opinion on the rating site.



Had bok choi, shrimp, fresh zucchini, (thank goodness for epicurious, would have never known how to combine these without it) for din; DH said it was 4 star.



Clean house? Can't seem to get enough energy to even plan on cleaning, let alone try to get started. I've begun to accept there are limitations for energy expenditures.



Is it my imagination, or do the sock monkeys seem to be a monthly addition? I may be hallucinating, been known to happen, but I am seeing additions for March, April, May, and July. Don't have incentive or gumption (old fashioned word for energy or interest) to search for June.



Should go to bed, but on a movie marathon tonight and am totally enjoying the quiet.

Morning folks. Looks like today is gonna be more of the same in more ways than one. At least in FL it won't go over 92. Looking like a pool kind of day. Stay cool!

Well, finally, a constructive comment on a thread - not that it will do any good - but at least an attempt.  and NOT a SP

Seems the women who post here were not sufficiently offended by being called "homies" or "libturds" or "gangsters" - may have even had the audacity ( of hope) to laugh it off, do take off's of them, and get ready for the WORST offense, be respectful to fellow posters, and Horror of All Horrors, Respect the President of the United States.

Then, there is the responsiblity some women feel to share what has been successful in their own treatment with others.  To do what the Moderators call "monitoring" and strangely some call "bullying." When a woman posts as "FACT" - what is in fact, "opinion" and that distinction is made public, it is called "censoring."

I'm sure there are other reason's - but they're too sad to even imagine.To attack a valuable source of information for women who have breast cancer, because of some kind of personal vendetta, just sad, sad, sad.

sweet dreams, Susieq

hopefully things will be cooler when you wake up

Just got attacked over there - now I'm really going to bed

Here is more reading I do NOT need to do, but for the interested (such as those of you who are in more moderate climate and lord it over us - lol):
