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

Oh hey, another nite owl here! My excuse for that is because it took me soooooo long to catch up after 6 days away! I even tried catching up with my BB on the way home from up north! This thread just moves so fast!

Janice (((Hugs))) that really is crappy.

PIP..good luck with the selling and house hunting! I love Bobcaygeon and Fenelon, we spent many summers travelling the waterways through those towns and stopping at the locks to tour around or wine and dine.

Goodluck on the job Anne and Bren. I feel fortunate that we all are working and really feel your frustration at the jobs situation. Many people I know are now working 2 or 3 jobs just to earn a decent income, it shouldn't have to be that way. Seems as though fulltime work is almost a thing of the past.....sad. We really need the manufacturing jobs back, I think we have all been sold out on that!

Lewing, it's great to hear your DD is enjoying her first year and making great friends! I wish I could go back to school too! I loved all the stories and experiences my DD had during her years at school, I was almost envious.....oh to be young again! It was fun meeting all these young people and having the opportunity to host some of them at home and at the cottage. These are the best years for them, many friendships formed for a lifetime!

Love the otter picture! I want one! Do they make good pets?? Soooooooo cute!

Blue, glad to hear the arm is feeling better! BTW.....you rock!

Had a wonderful 6 days at the cottage but brrrrrrrrr, it sure got cold! Only 7 celcius in the mornings with the steam rising off the lake because the water was much warmer! Thankgoodness DH bought a new heater which was put to good use a couple of days! Of course the day we have to leave is the warmest and most beautiful of all.......figures! Oh well, enjoyed my time to recollect during some solo paddles in my kayak. Back to reality tomorrow!

Cherryl, have a great time. Bar duties will not go unattended while you are away, I promise. Pop in for a round if you and your friend have time.

(((Jancie))) - It's always something, isn't it. Last week I was wailing to my doctor that all I wanted in life was my health. Never thought I would have such a modest request at this relatively young age. I hope the dentist's isn't too awful. Damned cancer trreatment. I sometimes wonder if it's like treating a shot in the head with a stab to the heart. We really have a long way to go in breast cancer medicine.

Ann - I am cooing away at that otter (and waiting for the namesake to appear). Reminds me of this.....

Oh - anyone hear Rick Perry questioning the wisdom of anti-global warming policies? With that sage advice, who needs the village drunk?

Off to do boot camp class at club and hopefully remain in one piece. 'Morning, all!

ETA: Waving at Lewing - enjoy your run. "See" you in exercise land...

Did you know there are no known deposits of oil in the Everglades? Sigh...

We had a "small" oil spill near here over a year ago. A little under a million gallons It is not cleaned up yet. They don't know how to clean up spills except in the ocean and keep having unexpected problems. This was tar sands oil, extra thick, another problem. A beuatiul natural resouse was ruined for the foreseeable future, people were made sick, and property values on the river have plummeted.

Lots of folks up late last nite.

Jancie:  so sorry you had such a bad day.  Scary about the heart "damage" - let's hope it can be healed, or at least stabilized.  Then teeth  - the piling on akes it all so much worse.  Hoping you get the "laughing gas" - I used to get it - now my dentist uses novicaine.

LOVE the pictures Ann, Athena, so warm and loving.

Things are lovely, quiet here, now if only the rin would stop. HUGE ponds of waters in all the fields around my little cabin.  Notice the birds have stopped coming to the bird bath near my door, they don't need it.  Lucky basement has 2 "drains" floor, think I'm the only resident not needing a sump pump.

Morning Blue .. thanks for the great pic of Daniel this a.m.   I loved that movie! 

Y'all were up late last night .. I don't think I can remember everything.

Jancie .. I know you had a bad day yesterday and a trip to the dentist today.  Hope all goes well.  I'm sorry to hear about your heart.

Chaplain .. have fun this weekend.  I know you will enjoy the company.

Enjoyful ... have a good time in Canada .. hope you get to lunch with Linda.  Wish I could be there too.

Sunflowers .. hope you are safe from flooding.

Ducky .. the wedding sounds lovely.  I'm sorry you are suffering from the Femara.  I quit taking Arimidex after six days.  Couldn't stand it.

I need to get busy .. hope everyone has a great day!

OK Blue, you found me with Hawkeye - "that-there" is where my heart lives, and is the subject of my entire library-study (including microfilm machine) - similar prints, and the woods, are my views. That's what I study, read, and write about....

Lewing - we had our mtn. funeral Saturday, pretty much as I described. At the potluck, held in a meadow next to the store, they put up a 4' x 8' piece of plywood and filled it with old pictures of our friend. In many ways, it was much more real than today's (lovely, I have done them) computerized slide shows because folks gravitated to the board, touched the pictures, tried to identify our young selves (a hoot!)... And we played his favorite music all afternoon as we reminisced..

Today if the weather's good, we're taking our little boat, going blackberry picking at the lake.

E -- I sent you a PM.

Thankl you, Jancie - best of luck to you! I hope your lesson serves as a nice distraction from the health problems.

Jancie .. so sorry you have to have your tooth pulled.  That sucks.  I had to have one pulled in the back as well.  I didn't feel any pain until it was over.  It took a long time for the dentist to get the tooth out because the roots were so long.  My jaw really hurt when it was over.  Because the tooth was in the back and you couldn't tell it was missing when I smile, I never had a bridge made.

It's going to be sore and swollen for a while.  I think my doctor gave me some pain pills, I can't remember.  I had some at home maybe and I took one when the lidocaine wore off.

I don't think you'll feel like riding when it's over.  You might want to wait a day or two.

I hope someone posts with a better experience than I had.

big hugs,

Bren

{{Jancie}} I hate the dentist too. But I found one who sneaks the needle in and does it slow so it doesn't hurt. Enjoy your lesson and get lost in the moment of you and Jazzy being one.

Hi all. Having a Corona NFL again before I head to the beach bar to see GreenFlash. Should be some hot videos tonight on FB.

(((Susie))) "Welcome" to Paris.

BWAHAHAHAHA! I am loving every pointy word.
