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

(((((((BLUE)))))))))))) is back. So happy to know you are recovering from what sounds like a HIDEOUS time...can't remember if your daughter's wedding was? 

Anyhow - just REST, relax, snuggle Virgil ( and Ray) and BE WELL.....be well, be well.....hope all your days are Sunny ones.

I am flabbergasted - my brother lost his job a week or so ago - however, his prospects look quite good. His wife has posted on FB that she's missing breakfast at a local diner. When my mother was there a year or so ago my SIL did go out and buy breakfast, but I thought maybe that was because she was visiting - special occasion or something. Doesn't look like it. I feel so tempted to post something like - 'eggs are easy to boil' - but I have resisted the temptation. They have lived so high on the hog for so long a bit of economy wouldn't hurt.

ETA - I had boiled eggs for breakfast, so I do know how easy it is

Blue -  glad to see you back - you've been missed.

Scoot - so now you'll be all ready for the new horse - yikes!

Blue! So happy to see you back!

Mary 

I'm glad to see Jim flirting with us again!

Hi Blue, sorry you had such a bad time with those pills. My grandpa declined it when he developed parkinson's, because, as he said, "he was afraid of seeing little green men," afraid of hallucinations in other words.

Yay! Great to see ya Blue!

So I went to the drug store yesterday to pick up the new meds my Onc. has decided to try. They were ordered by him on Thursday. When I get there they tell me it's a special order drug, and do I really want it. So of course I said yes. Well they will order it Tuesday because of the holiday, and it wouln't be in till Friday. What I don't understand is why they didn't order it on Thursday when the Dr. faxed the prescription to them, and why they would wonder if I really want the stuff. Now it sort of has me wondering what I am taking in place of the Femara.

((((Barbara)))) Nice to see you too - how is everything?

This Sunday is sucking so far.  I went to bed last night with a sore throat and that awful taste in my mouth.  Today my throat feels worse.

Gargled with salt water - heading to bed.

Hope ya'll have a great day!

janice so sorry you're feeling bad. Hope you get over it fast.

Binva, I so envy you would love 5 acres!

So we have decided we are going to build an arbor in the back yard! I'm thinking having climbing flowers and the bird bath in the middle of it would look lovely. My poor DH has been so patient with all my whims on the yard this year! 

This weather has me seated under a large acacia tree until further notice....IF I go to my club today it will have to be after 7 pm.

Been organizing my computer "Libraries" and deleting old files. In the spectrum of hoarder to "thrower away of everything" I am about average. I never throw away personal correspondence but I cull my clothes closet regularly.

I think I finally decided what I think about the new BCO format from an emotional point of view. It's pleasant, but dull.

Athena - a note on the new layout - looks strangely like my online banking site - lots of wide open spaces - definitely done for mobile devices.

Yes, Susie, it's all for mobiles. Speaking of....I am not crazy about smartphones either (I know I am probably alone in this). They do a bit of everything, but not one single thing very well. Just like those printer/faxers/scanners/copiers....or some of the weaponry the US military is trying to get rid of - there is one tank that is supposed to be good for sea and land, but it is so useless in each medium they finally decided to scrap it.

If I had handheld devices to "do" again (and I will once my two year contracts are up) I would buy:

--A simple ergonomically comfortable NON-smartphone with real keypads that you open and shut so that you don't accidentally call the word from the comfort of your pocket

--A tablet for the Internet

So, with disliking smartphones, suburbs and Facebook I am sure I have offended everyone in the "easily offended" group.  I feel like starting a new thread where people can feel free to mention POPULAR THINGS THAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO LOVE AND ACTUALLY DISLIKE. I would add SUVs in cities (except for people who really do drive on rugged terrain, which is 1 percent, I'm sure) and beer. :-)

Things I love that most hate: lions!  

Anyone else have a list of things that you are supposed to love or it is fashionable to like, or "everybody likes" - but you don't?

Athena, I missed your post while I was taking too long to type.  I don't know what a smartphone is.  LMBO, I guess I must need one?  NOT! 

marple which ever is cheaper works for me. I have a laptop for work which  I can bring home but I feel uneasy about using it for personal use. Being a teacher I really want my personal life to stay just that personal.
