how about drinking?

I have noe beauty today (yet) but Orange that is georgeous. I remember when I was lttle every summer we'd go on acation to some lake wit small homes with kitchens in them and we'd et like 4 houses (Our poor mothers had to cook) ad it was so much fun in the waters which were so clean then u could see the bottom. And when we went away the whole famile went it was great. OK it's now time for my orange juice plus whatever.:)

Hi cammy fell better cammy grammy wammy lol

Good Morning Ladies,

Another day another dollah....Hope everyone is having a good weekend..I know our Dorkie pie is partying it up with her girls at the shoah and Goldie with her fam up noahth...and Katwinka still basking in the after glow of her jump....I am up and running for work..they came nice and early and fixed me up..so now all is good.  Moving does suck. 

Orla....I've never heard of glow stones.  Very pretty .  Your shark vid tho...a bit scary..I love to get in the water here and I know there are things swimming in there with me....but hopefully nothing that resembles that..I have to hope that someone is watching for that.

Julie, did you say you were offered wine with your meals at the age of 10?  Does that mean there is no drinking age at all in Europe or just the UK??  Is the beer warm over there?? 

NM..you working this weekend?? 

Hi Cammy..Chrissy, Shannon, Alli, Bernie and anyone I may have missed...love you guys..enjoy your weekends.

Ohhhh..wow ..I remember stopping in NH at the state store in Portsmouth.  I would love a nice cool day...enjoy NM..

On the other end of the spectrum..lets see some Immodium pics...lol...

Thanks Orla...I can always count on you to set me up with the pills.

This was me, yesterday, up high in the sky. At first, from the ground, they can't even see the plane, as we go up so high. So can't see us after we jump till we get much closer to the ground. Can you tell it is me??? LOL.

La,la,la,la,la,la,la (had to write something,cuz I took down the pic of me before my jump)!

ALLISON--sendin (((HUGS))) to u get those tests done and go home well.

Kathy you look great! I admire anyone who can jump out of a plane........I think I'd have a heart attack!.........lol.



Hi to all the lubbly girls here!

Morning Cyn....you still here?  I neeedz ta ketchup wid ya....whatcha dwinkin? Natty's dis eurly??? How's da beach?? I tink I will have the Tenders make some amazin Irish Coffee..... Slainte!

Cami, OMG what a day/night you had! Funny though when everyone broke down laffing and couldn't even help ya. Hope you don't have a hangover toodey. Cyndie's right...that dog pic does resemble Calva (prolly why I thought of IRISH Coffee!).

Hiya Chrissy! Awwwwww, you cud do it too, but of course, you'd have to want to! I was so surprised that even when dangling out of the open door of the plane, soooooo high up there, above the clouds....I wasn't scared at all. Just very happy. I did have a very personal, spiritual thing happen on our drive to the town that the small airport was in, and then I knew that my late DH was with me, so that made it even more awesome. I was just smiling and laffing the entire time, I was so happy. Esp couldn't stop laffing when we landed. Yup, I would do it again! Only thing missing was some bubbly when we landed (like we had after hot air ballooning). Should have brought some! How are things down under? My cuz said she was soooo happy that spring had arrived, as the summer in Sydney was horridly hot this year. Hope its nice where you are! Do you get to the beach much, in Adelaide (or near Adelaide)?

OK, Hope everyone is doing well this weekend, MOST ESPECIALLY, Allison! Hoping the test goes well, we're all thinking of you, Alli. ((((ALLISON)))))... Can u feel a group hug from us all??

Dorkie, Can't wait to hear about your "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" weekend! And Lori, Hope you're having a wunnerful visit with your mom and brothers! Bet your DH misses you terribly, though.

Sue, Unde, Orla, NM, Juliet, and all de lubberly ladies of de HTL....have a FunDey SunDey!!!!

Hugsssssssssssssssssssssssssss,

Katwinka on de grounda

Good morning, Loungettes! I had a lovely sleep in this morning, much later than I usually sleep in. Such nice sleeping weather we've got here now. I love this time of year!

 CynCyn--that's the store! Love an excuse to stop there!

Wahine--It's funny, I grew up on the Atlantic coast, and never saw sharks as particularly dangerous. Not so many big ones around here, and if a fisherman fell overboard he's die of hypothermia long before he became shark food. Now, seeing all those shark shows on TV I have to stop and wonder, which kind of death at sea is better, hypothermia and drowning or shark attack? I think I'll take the hypothermia, myself!

FYI--in the Gulf of Maine the water temp rarely gets above 50 degrees F (that's about 10 degrees C).  In summer that gives about 3 hours survival time in the water.  In the winter the water temp is often as low as 40 F/4 C, and the survival window is only about an hour.  Unfortunately, the nearest Coast Guard Search and Rescue assests often need an hour to get to the location of the mayday, then it takes time to search.  My high school classs lost more class mates to fishing accidents than car crashes.  

ORLA--yes, Immodium is an important resident of our medicine cabinets!

Wahine--If I ever did that I would need imodium before, during and after!!!! My mother did this when she was 70, and has a video of it. She loved it!

Good morning, Lord, it's me again. Can I talk to you for a minute? Yes, I know that's a foolish question, but it seemed polite to ask. I'd like to talk to you about Mrs. Vino. She's in the hospital, and I would like to ask You to be with her, to be with her docs and nurses, and to fix whatever is wrong quickliest. {Yes, I do believe God eavesdrops on our Lounge talk and understands Loungeese!} Please take away any pain, please send her back to us in good shape and ready to enjoy her darling granddaughter. Thanks, Lord!

Cammy--I can just picture your family escapade! Like something out of a Three Stooges movie. Who cares what anyone watching thinks, let them have their fun in their own minds making up stories to go with the action!

Wahine--no bubbly when you got back? What kind of life-threatening fun was that?????

Speaking of bubbly--I took my last arimidex pill yesterday. I'm officially done with treatment. No more Med Onc appointments, time to wean off the gabapentin, definitely got a "what now?" kind of feeling going on. I've got a "God wants You to Know" ap on my fracebook page, today it talks about every ending also being a new beginning. I'm going to focus on that aspect and see where life takes me now. But I still feel just a little bit of "what now?" way down deep inside. . .

Well, on thing that is beginning now is the lovely Sunday Brunch laid out by the tenders and wenches. I'm hungry!

Princess Glitter Sizzle's DOTD is the Get Well Mrs. Vino
1 splash Champagne
1/2 glass Lager
1 oz Pineapple Juice

Directions
Half-fill a beer pilsner with lager. Add pineapple juice, and gently top with champagne.

Yummy....Im in on that buffet!!!!  And another Irish coffee too...

Yep thats the store NM....passed it many many times on my way back and forth.  The water up there is fridgid...remembering times at OOB and how we would swim in that water however, I think instead of really getting used to it we were just numb. I really do want to get up there again soon...its been way too long and I miss it a lot.  NM.....Congrats on the end of treatment for you ..thats wonderful...and whats next???  Just love living life to the fullest.

Back to work.

Love ya's

I did NOT realize your water was so cold up there! Yikes, I would need a wet suit!!! Love that you don't have those snakes in your lakes and rivers though, NM. Really scares me, here. And heck we ALL get funcused, too hard to keep up wid everyone! Don't worry about trying to keep up, we'll let ya know when its a faux pas. I make TONS of them, meeeself. GLAD you will get back to sewing! I have a hard time finding time for that too, but do enjoy it. I think I will go outside and weed the front flower bed...looks awful. Might plant some knock-out roses and yellow mums I bought, too. Supposed to start raining this afternoon, then heavy rain tomorrow.
Take care!!!
