The Hermit Club

markat, toilet papered trees, the neighbors will be jealous. I will , once again, be unique. While you are up there, would you fish out my laptop? Please send the elves.

As far as looks go, I am sportin' the Casper rather well,  with the lashes, hair additions and hopefully eyebrows i will get to the Grandpappy. A nice change from this summers pirate look. Gorgeous I tell ya, simply gorgeous.  

Yesterday, I found a ``Big girls panties-get over it``joke on my FB wall. I wasn`t amused. So a text or two and it was all sorted out. It was insensitive at this point, and the person was not thinking. I have about 20 friends, lol, mainly family so that I can see photos of the little ones.

I am feeling a little better each day, and that is a good thing. Wishing all cave dwellers the same and more. Raining here so I will jump on the treadmill , my legs are cramped ...hate that. Happy Saturday!

markat--holy falafel!!???    I needed a good laugh!  Thanks--I'm still chuckling.

FL--what is it with sisters?  I disowned mine four years ago. (she's an atty and charged my mother $1000 to cover air fare, etc, to come see her as she was losing her battle with bc.)  Crazy value system.  Glad she lives far, far away.  She doesn't even know about my "woes".  ick, ick just thinking about her!

teka--happy birthday!  late/early/whenever!  I'll always wish you well.  Your warm heart shines through, so "friend" should just get over the problem with purple!  good grief.  (No--holy falafel!)    I agree about social skills.  Seems like some people think that with age comes privileges of rude behavior.  I just don't get it.

whaevah--I was dreading a colonoscopy not long ago... and encountered the same remark--big girl panties--I couldn't believe the insensitivity.

camille--are you ok?  Good weekend?

markat, I am getting so excited about my trees!!! Woohoo....Panties and TP blowing in the wind, I will be the talk of the neighborhood, might have to put up red lights this year

skittle, I remember the symphony playing when I woke from my colonoscopy...tuba and horns I think

speaking of music...good for you Jazzygirl! Yes, we all need a break from this, healing is hard work .

Looks like there are a few twisted sisters around, we can plant them under my trees if you want

teka and camillegal, hope you are having fun, whaevah you are doing

Good Morning All,

Husband and I were out and about for breakfast at local firehouse.   I plan to wait until the week of December 10th, then face the hassle of a X-mas tree.

Jazzy, sounds like a great day! I've gotten into a really bad habit of staying in my pj's all weekend. I'll put on clothes to do whatever errand or activity with the kids, then immediately change into my pjs when I get home, lol.

Whaevah, a red porch light would even be more impressive. I'm sure your neighbors would love that, and the added traffic

Skittle, love it! Wow, rearranging furiniture. My living room looks like an episode of Hoarders. The elves were excited to bring up all the boxes, but aren't as enthused about putting them away. What's that all about, lol.

Teka, sounds like a great breakfast! We never go out to eat. Too expensive with the kids. We do get a lot (too much) of take out. I cooked everyday last week though, even when I was sick (crockpot). I was pretty impressed with myself.

FL, hope today continues to get better.

Stormy, hope you are feeling good!

Where'd Omeggo go? Kltb still really miss you. You must have blossomed and graduated from hermitting.

Camille, are you off partying all weekend? Miss you!!

markat--it is quiet, isn't it?!   Hoping your elves have been more helpful today.  Gotta agree with them, though.  It's more fun to make a mess than clean it up. 

Hope the quiet is just everyone busy, having a good day.  Hugs to all.  (((( ))))

Jane, hope the doctor goes well. Great job on the kitchen!!

Hoping everyone else has a great day. I have to go shopping- in a store FIL's birthday. He wants new socks...how exciting, lol!

OMG I hit the line for remove and I wondered where everone was and I had to searvh the active tops--Oh I missed so much, painting, eating, drinking, thinking eating (yes I know i said it twice.

Stormy I'm so sorry about u'r sister and Jazzy too. Oh I don't know what I'd do without mine. Weoth share so many wonderful memories and cirrent ones too and of couse as u know cancer the same time same stage too. So we're kind of like glue. But she does stuff ALOT and stil works full time.--I just can't imagine not talking--the day I had the scan she called 3 times I told her--u've had this, u know how long it takes--we crack up, cuz we've both had all the same tests, but I can tell she's loosing steam and I am too so we keep each other going alot.

I had so much computer crap going on I was trying to fix it and I did but mostly by accident.

We'rel planning on makeing cookes and fudge--Of course it's all non bake--I always seem to over cook things except cake??? so this u can't ruin. And Saturday the kids are having a little Christmas party after dinner and just have some goodies and desserts and of course drinks--I'm going to have Mike's har lemonaide.black cherry--Yummy 0vodka I like--I really have to catch up here I read some but I had to tell u why I wasn't on and since Teka is the real talker I never saw her name on anything.

camillegal...we almost sent out a search party for you, thought you had run off with some hottie and lost your way home

Teka...what is "private posting"

Oh Teka u r privste--I've done some but not too much.

Oh I've been so busy--yea right Well I did go to the store today, it's actually springlike here. My DD and SIL are having a little Christmas party Sat. night so I help by iving my ideas about food---That I know all about. No such luck about the hottie--the best I could do is a cold potato. Well it is food anyway.

And radiation that was just tiring and it's funny cuz it only last maybe 10 minutes, but u wonder how that can tire u so. I used just aloe vera, but there's alot to use and my skin was all right it's still kinda black on that whole side tho--so I'm sure it fades with time??? I took an early app'tment every morning to get it over with so it doesn't interfere with all the fun u'r having besides u go every day for 31 days that alone is a pain. LOL

I'll be back--u'll see

I didn't join a chemo thread.

However, I did join and loved a radiation thread.

I had 31 days of misery after the last radiation treatment, due to a severe radiation burn up under the breast.  

bgirl--what color will your kitchen be?  I wish I had the patience to tape things off neatly.  Best of luck with rads! Esp. during holidays.  Schedules get crazy.

markat--what about toe socks?  Surprise him! 

teka--do you garden?  I tried raspberry bushes, drought managed to kill them all in spite of daily watering and encouraging talks!

camille--glad you're back.  We can disband the search party.

whaevah--shovel?    I can bring a tractor!  or post hole digger!  Country living tools here.  :-)

FLwarrior--ooh--walking on the beach sounds the best, best of the day.  Good wishes for a great interview.  Can insurance kick in after being on the job a while? 

DD2 hopes to adopt a rescue kitten for Christmas, but has to find a job first.  The hunt goes on.  (last job she applied for had 437 apply!  eeeg.)

12 days of school 'til Christmas break.  Long live days of hermitude.  I look forward to being able to collapse.

X-mas break!  Happy Dance for you Skittle!!!  How long are you off?

Toes socks...hehehe...there was an nice (juried) art show downtown (2 blocks away) that I walked over to this weekend.  I saw more than one artist in the toe-shoes!  Looked like neopreen wet-suit material on the top, not sure what the soles were out of. But definatly had toes! What is the benefits? Is it like built in yoga toes? Need to research that one.

Raspberry bushes...yummmm...what part of the country are you in?  The country...nice!  I may need to borrow/share your tractor and/or post hole digger!

Thanks. They currently do not have health insurance. It is their "plan" to get it by March or April.  They would like to offer it. Nothing definate, yet...tis the reason for my repeated YIKES!

My radiation treatments and severe radiation burn was over by Thanksgiving 2010.   However, if I should have a recurrence, bye-bye 44DD/E girls.

I love working in (v) garden and (f) gardens.   I've tame blueberries, and pick wild strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries when in season.
