Fuzzy's Romp Room

Gingerbrew..............your right...........every afternoon after school, I would go there, (the studio was located at 46th and Market St.s in Philly)  and dance my feet off............then it went to Saturday when Dick Clark took it out of Philly to Ca..............sad day for Philly, and you are also right.......it was not as popular as when it was on in Phila......lots of goofy things, and it became less about the kids dancing, and more about "who could outdo who"............Bob Horn was the originator of BS...........he got himself mixed up in a "payola" scheme, and that caused him to be let go, and Dick Clark took over.......he stayed in Philly for a while, but eventually left....Not sure if anyone knows this, but Dick Clark originally did just commercials............he worked his way up to where he got over the years........................there was a company called "Barr's Jewelers" in Philly, and he did their commercials.....................wow, I am really going back..................by the way for anyone who doesn't know, I am 77.................so I go way back....................hugs, and good memories.

OK.......I threw my neck out yesterday and I'm in the "No NSAID" window since surgery is 10/1.  I can't turn my head.....working with a computer is KILLING ME but it's conference call Wednesday and I'm starting to freak about surgery upcoming ........

YES I'D LIKE SOME CHEESE WITH MY WHINE!!!!!

Granny, that was my allowed 15 seconds.  I shall now resume my out of the box normal work mode.

15 seconds of whine per day.  Any more than that is bad for me - it cuts into gratitude and humor time!

But I think I WILL have that cake!!!!!

I could use some wine but I'll make do with pain meds. I was trying not to take any today, but the discomfort was just getting too much. Oh well. Maybe no pain meds tomorrow. Have a good day everyone.

Veggy - No wine, no nicotine, no NSAIDS......no nuttin.  I need to go get me some asparagus.  t-19 to the "re-construction zone".  At least I'll REALLY get time off of work.  HAH!  My husband will have to take my cell phone away, unplug the housephone, and disable the wifi (I at least want to be able to read on my tablet!) and turn the computers off.  Then maybe I'll have time "away from all things work".

~sigh~

DUNE, I don't know what it is about you, but I so enjoy hearing you talk.  You are a positive personage, filled with cute stories...little short ones but so charming.  VEG, I'm SO glad your day began so nicely for a change.  AUDY O'POSS, catch me up, what surgery must thou have?  I am sorry about your neck.  RIDER, I been taking medicines in general for well over ten years, my two pain meds are for a tore-up back from a car wreck, and tranqs and anti-depressants for my mental instabilities.  I am not fearless.

ALL, I've got my new meds and took some yesterday.  Not much difference, but my legs have finally stopped hurting after about six months of them driving me nuts.  I bought some new PJs and socks...anything to keep from doing laundry, but my blue T-shirt says in pink, "You are my dream," and I got pink therapeutic socks with aloe-vera, smells divine to have them on.  Got some maroon sweats.  Then I've put on an old polka-dot flannel button-up in all the colors I bought new.  I was supposed to save them for when I took a shower, but I wanted to wear them NOW.  I gave myself today off.  Tomorrow I'll see about taking my car in, and make appointment with cancer doc and a CT scan.  And like several of you, I'm feeling downright righteous.  SMILE.  And love as always to my owne true sister FUZZY, I hug you from the spirit world.  And love to all my other sisters forever, GAIL

dogeyed, nothing beats comfy jammies.

dunesleeper, I can relate. I ended up in the ER a while ago and it was in the exact same room the ER doc told me I had mets 7 years earlier. I got so worked up about the horrible memory of that room,  I threw up. Uggh, that horrible, horrible room. Your surgeon does have a sweet, caring face.

end of rant.....Hello everyone...i read all the messages but when i get to the end i forget.....I wish each and everyone of you love,peace,health,wealth and happiness...but most of all NED FOREVER!!!!!!1

It's the middle of night, cannot go back to sleep for 2 hrs now. Will nap tomorrow.

DD was in an bad accident, she is all right.

Soooooooo yesterday I was up at dawn, been up at dawn every day this week, working all day.  Often talking to DD for an hr ea morn though.  She is usually wrapping up her night newspaper delivery.  (Makes $3600 mo on these delivery routes but I hate the night ones, will be glad when she is off that route and makes $1100 a mo less. She loves this job, all the customers she befriends, stray kittens she rescues, lost dogs she gets back to their homes, walking small towns at night in the quiet.)

Yesterday she did not call, I felt uneasy for about 30 minutes after dawn, something, something..... but I didn't call her..... I figured she got done on time and to bed early for once.  At 8am I get a text video from her, looks like a UFO (you know, shiny hubcap). Mind you, she always did like the drama.

I text, UFO? Or your car stuck in mud? 

She texts back, Stuck in mud?

I text, Looks like it, what is it?

She calls.  Mom, that is my car upside down. I rolled my car at dawn.

Every mother knows. The air goes out of you, there is no breath.  

But she is unharmed, her and dog were all right.  The paramedics had to cut her out, she couldn't do it.  She had just left town, on to the next, one minute out.  She says she over-corrected on a hill / curve when driving into the sunrise.  She knew she was going into the ditch.  She next remembers sitting on the ceiling of her car in the back seat with newspaper bundles all around her. Seems the car rolled two to three times.  She was driving a little Honda Accord, seems to be built like a little tank, except for the way it rolled, hitting the front roof the hardest.

No she did not have her seatbelt on, she doesn't when delivering, and I think she should when out on the main roads.  

But not having her seatbelt on seemed to have saved her, she would have been crushed if stuck upright in the front seat.  She was somehow released from behind the wheel and she is a big woman so that in itself is a miracle.... and rolled around inside and ended up in the back.

• When she was 19 after our day together she was on her way to work and hit by a van, totalled her car, totalled the van and stopped an entire six-lane expressway, but she had not one scratch. 
• Mother's Day four years back, the brakes went out going down a hill coming into town, raining, brake line seemed to be cut, neighborhood crap.  They were on way to see me.  They hit two trees head on, the compact car wedged between them and lessened impact, baby in back seat.  Totalled the car.  Everyone was fine, save some whiplash.  Happy Mother's Day, the family was alive.
• Two years later, she was driving home from Thanksgiving when car came in their lane, totalled another car, everyone fine. 

Thanks for listening.  I will be blogging this story when it is polished.  There has to be a calm after the storm.  With her, never happens.

LOVEEssa

No, I'm not ok. Thanks for the hug.

Doesn't it feel REALLY good to be somewhere where you can say NO, I'M NOT OK and it's absolutely wonderful because everyone understands?????  Where a good day is cheered and people mean it? WHere you can tell people really DO care?

I hope that made sense, because it gives me goosebumps.  This board is awesome.
