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

So Friday night, the B&G opens at 3 pm. First round's on this lioness. Anyone game?

Edited out what was rant against the despot who rulea over me - excuse me, my boss.. And a part about gathering with the rest of the pride for sleep.

{{{Susie!}}} Pain is no good on vacation!

Yes, the BCO B&G bartender really helped us tie one on last night but I am game for a Dewars at 3, Athena. Heck, make it one and we'll get an early start to the long weekend.

E, glad you are doing OK except for the evil Arimidex.

Oh, LOVED the pic of Powell, thanks Blue.

Get ready for a rant. The main highway, I-91, connecting CT & VT/NH, runs up the width of MA, is partly closed, and will be for some time, and that's not the worst of what the towns along the Deerfield, Millbrook, Westfield, Connecticut rivers are experiencing - to those who thought this storm was "hyped" - I say, ( as JFK did in 1961, in a different place) Let them come to New England!  Fields are covered with feet of silt, farms destroyed, cities still cut off, bridges destroyed, devastation, and people are working to put their lives back together.

Hope all have a lovely sunny day - the leaves are already falling here, but at least it's DRY

thanks girls - got some panadol but  I'm worried I'm doing damage not getting it seen to. I don't trust anyone but my physio. The bus thing was good - went to the Art Gallery. I've got DH liking impressionists!! We saw a Da Vinci today. Also got off at the National Museum but I didn't like it - strange layout. The British Museum was better.

All is going according to plan. I'd arranged for this company called CarryMyLuggage.com to pick up the golf clubs to be delivered to our son in London. Just asked the Aussie girl on the desk and they have been collected!!!! Clever Susie!!!

I do like it here - I can still hear the bagpipe dude - he must play every day. We got a shot of our hotel from the lower road - we are up high!!!. Also got some great shots of the castle from lower down. How they ever built these things is beyond me.

We get te hire car tomorrow and off to Loch Ness to find Nessie

BCO B&G will open at 1 pm today - pity I can't join you until "after hours." We could do with some laughter.

Cherryl, when I say I informed the "authorities" do not assume I mean the police. I meant the "proper" authorities - the ones that say: "This place spikes it's drinks - let's go in for some fun!"

Hurrah for the 24 hour change!

Barb, coming right up.

Athena, sorry for jumping to conclusions. I'm beginning to sound like someone else!

I notice E, who started the party last night, is absent.  Hung over perhaps?

I am off to work soon so you girls try to behave yourselves! 

Hi Athena. I  know and I like messing with you too.

Ah, Pip, do we have to?

PiP - I'm not hung over, most definitely not hung over.  I'm just trying to get some work done around the house.  Don't worry, I'm always monitoring my home thread with my finger on the "screen shot" button.  Sometimes I screen-shot for no particular reason. 

Rosemary - I'm so glad you feel better!  One day I hope to get off of the hated Arimidex, but I don't expect that'll be any time soon.  In the meantime, Celebrex and Vicodin are my buddies.  And yes, I exercise daily but it doesn't help.  

For the long weekend I get to visit with HL!  Yay!

Enjoyful .. I'm jealous .. wish I could visit Libby with you.  Hopefully I can come up when she's feeling a little better and see you too!

hugs,

Bren

E, tell HL I said HI and give her a gentle hug!

Rosemary, you have indeed had a  busy week. Whew. But love your littie.

E, I vote screen shooted.

E - I believe the correct term would be screen-shot for the past tense.

Gracie - thinking about you and praying for you.  Sorry to hear about the mets.

Pip - love the mini horses.  Ok, don't get mad at me but I was at a barn in North Dallas and we had two mini's there.  My trainer couldn't stand them because all they did was bite the horse's necks so in her mind the only thing they were good for was to kill them, stuff them, and use them as saddle racks.

Susie - love to hear the updates on  your travel.

Blue - hope you are feeling well today.

Ok, I know I forgot to write to many of ya'll in particular but once again I am playing catch up and my brain can only remember so much at one time.

Jazzy's eye was swollen shut when I got to the barn yesterday.  The replacement manager (my trainer is at Regionals in Colorado) did not bother to call me or the vet.  Ends up that Jazzy has scratched her cornea but not too bad and I have to put eye medication in that eye daily for the next two weeks.  I called the vet at 2 pm and she was at the barn by 6 pm.

I went to the cardiologist today - I am scheduled for a nuclear stress test.  The heart muscle damage was either caused by chemo or my smoking - don't know which and he wants to make sure my arteries are not clogged.  I am getting the test next Wed.  So that was this morning and now in an hour I have an appt with my GP that will take 3 hours so I am off running again.

This thread moves so fast when I am not at home playing on my computer all day long.

Hope ya'll are having a great day - oh and I hope that Libby is doing well.  E - give us an update.

Hi eveyone!  Been away from the boards for a while.

(((Gracie)))) I am thinking of you and sending you positive thoughts and lots of gentle hugs.

I am not sure who is bartending, but I will have a vodka tonic please.  

I am sooo glad it is is the weekend.  I have an extra teaching load this semester, and I really feel it by Friday.

Thanks, Bren!  I am teaching three Intro to College English courses and a post-intro course.  I have some great students, but it is a very long week with lots of preparation and correcting.  

On a happier note, it is sunny and warm here.  My kitties are sleeping on the couch next to me, and I am having my vodka tonic -- thanks bartender!
