INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

Hootie hootie, to all owlettes. Life is wonderful. Sitting is divine

Rose, Yay Jan. --In the 2nd last post that I lost, my note to you talked about an absolutely fun restaurant on A1A south of Augustine at or just north of Palm Coast. Looks like a Deliverance place. You can even wonder when you walk through the door. But the menu is gourmet. Prices aren't. Behind the evergreen wall across the street is apparently a VERY exclusive community. Tiger Woods is a patron. That was the only name dropped when we asked to talk to the Chef, they had three. LOL, not cooks--chefs. Usually four but one was away at culinary school. Spookie can come and stay here and we will drive to meet you. If not convenient, I will drive to see you if you go to Tampa, and Spookie is there Jan. is ugly to us and beautiful to the  cold world  

Spookie, just shy of 21 days if I count right, unusual for cast off in three weeks, but they must be happy with it YAY---you are wearing a brace. Bet the trigone was an area involved. I did that once, bugger. Baby it Weather here cold, but beautiful skies. Yesterday ugly and raining. Willing to go either north to see Rose or to Tampa. You are welcome to stay here overnight or a couple of days Rose Yoohoo you can come too. I tell DBF to bunk in else where and we can do a girls thing. You can enjoy the pool, while Spookie and I just enjoy you.

Chevy, you TRAMP, I'll say the same as Littlegoats--Pole dancing and Alley Collecting. Go Girl-----How much was the greenhouse on Amazon. Your thingy even had the plastic thingy. Dh picked up a perfectly salvageable table at curbside for DS at the end of his first year. Butcher block top white legs. A bit of sanding for the top and polyurethane-washing and paint for the legs--like new Then at the SPCA thrift at the dumpster were chairs--even the thrift wouldn't take them. Did the same with the chairs. Cleaning, paint & urethane, and off to University. The table lasted his entire 6 years in apartments. The chairs only lasted 4.

Cami sending LOVE sweetie. You aren't posting like you used too. Know you are working , but I worry with all the polypharmacy. Hope Katy-Kat and Joey are good

LMG, Never told you I love your posts-- I do. Like Chevy, Cami when she can, 2nd, and Jwoo- you, also, catch everyone pretty well. On the eczema thing. I'm partial to Bag Balm(BB). Started use with my Brit with her first of two littersin 1982 and 83. Then it was only sold in hardwares and feed stores. I used it while I was nursing DS. DH was aghast at first request--"You're Not using that on MY son"-1984. When he went to the pharmacy for the suggested pure lanolin(very good) that was behind their counter, the Pharmacist said I have something even better---he brought out BB. Susan will drop in and go ehweeeee it smells. LOL, when I can smell it does stink. But it works well. Try a warm water soak first, softens the cracks-soak for twenty to thirty minutes. I used a plastic container -deep enough for both hands that easily sat on my lap.  Then apply the BB or pure lanolin as soon as you pat dry. Rub in gently for several minutes. Way better than steroids. But if it's eczema, use vinegar to soak and then rinse with clear water for a couple of minutes. Avoid soaps. I know crazy to say to a nurse. But I have concluded, God wants me too learn a different path from orthodox medicine by having to go to the severe of scenarios without response. AND then my survival mode kicks in with developing a different plan than orthodox. Much includes treatments of decades ago and some are creative LOL.  Found and incredible web site that incorporates orthodox and the old treatments. Won't risk losing post as I did with the last two. I'll post then go and get the link.

Blessings--I would have loved to see Jane Curtain and Gilda Radner  as Rosesanna-rosanna Dana do that skit. Loved Johnny Carson, but couldn't catch him much with working. One night Gilda was on and they talked about some of her characterizations she used. She credited the tone of RD to her Grandmother. They called her from the show. Her Gram talked just like Roseanna. The audience lost it when Gram said  "Never Mind" . Priceless.

Peppersweet, totally have taken your advice. The lights aren't my colors, but have chosen to embrace them b/c they are fun. Oh so thanks, for putting your thought in my head. Everytime I looked at them in the last few days, I thought of what you said.

Thyroid: Ultrasound & bloodwork tomorrow.-----Total care for complications of stupid thyroid and eczema complication of thyroid is about 3-4 friggen hours a day. But not praying to die as I was ---x amount of days ago. Stupid thyroid. BUT I can sit for longer periods of time without feeling like I'm on a steelwire brush YAY. Probably way TMI. An ERROR on my part was to stop the soaks of summer.  I did a twofer-----swim exersize and the water soaks which by literature research was recommended- that's why I was swimming. Stopped swimming b/c of the rains of September. Things went to a hell in a hand basket for multiple reasons. Er,  sex was a factor. I'm 64. So many people aren't comfortable with talk of women of Age having fun or liking sex.

LOL , in Jan last year I went to a GU doc about the two stones I passed. In his history questioning he said "Well we can bypass the sexual activity" And I said "No we can't etc.". It was so cute, he went back to the demographics page( I know the drill), he was checking my age.

I did two things on the day I was praying to die or go to Oregon. One I won't relate here( I will on the skin thread), but the other was- I am doing tub soaks daily. That whole ritual is about an hour +, and incorporating the rituals post Rai-131. That has done a turn around. Plus a change in the thyroid med usage. Er - and no sex- bummed

Within seconds of the moment of praying to die----I had an inspiration of what to do. It was totally unorthodox. It worked. A prayer answered.

Okey-dokey Spooks---I know you'll be in the pickup line @ that time.

Part of the post that got deleted was telling you that I had a wonderful day thrifting. I had housekeeping post answer . Just now looked this little cake plate up. Can't yet get the pic to post. I used search term on EBAY as plate with swirl. Located a plate that looked possible went to Replacements.com. See prices below. I paid 18.00. You all know that's higher than I usually do, but it's really sweet. DUH now what? Please, if I link to the page b/c I can't get it to post, go look at it. I was going to use it for a cheese ball next week. OH MY. My heart kind of went a little crazy

Yeah spookie took me awhile to calm down. It.was fun.I even talked her down 4.50 dollars. One time I suggested that a piece she had for 65$ was American Brilliant Cut, but I wasn't sure. If that was the case it could possibly worth 3-4hundred. She said it was fine. She marked things where she thought they might sell. She wasn't interested in knowing what things were. I've noticed the items that I buy have gone up a bit. I'm thinking the stuff that moves fast she raises the price some for other stuff that's the same. My wipeout post to you earlier was that I was sorry if I missed you today.

Rose this is the third time I'm saying I'll come up and see you or go to Tampa. I've told you multiple times  about the totally fabulous restaurant, i'll just suggest it when you get here. Spookie can stay here and you too. Who is it you visit in FL.?

Patty, thanks, and yes hope is fun. Hope I can get back to it.
