INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

Ok I told you I would try and post my fur family- 3 cats/ 3 dogs. The desk I redid for my DD, the cabin and my rhodie/azalea bed that I love in the front of our house. We have a bunch of gardens but this is lovely in Spring. Cats: Brown tabby Percy age14, Grey tabby Zoe age 12, Siamese mix Emmy 8. Dogs: Border collie Tess age 10, Flower- white westie/corgi/Chihuahua mix age 17, and last Ruby-do age 4 doxie/chihuahua/russel mix.

Rose- great pet pics and all the rest. I like the little siamese mix with the pretty blue eyes. Thanks for sharing!

Mommyof2 -I missed all the craziness on the site, too...had to work late.

Been busy tonight with a late dinner and calls to CVS and the insurance company for my daughter's prescription. Still not figured out, but I'm done with it for the night. Said they can only dispense 2 pills of 7 at a time...that's 3 stupid trips to the pharmacy in one week, and they can't even say if they'll pay for it if I pick it up that way. Argh!

Patti - sounds like you had a lovely time! What movie did you all watch?

Chevy - love the winking coffee and the rooster! Will be looking forward to seeing some garden pictures when the fruits of your labor start growing!

Hello, Phyllis - I'm a newbie here and enjoying this thread! Congrats on finishing your rads and glad your GB surgery went well. Hope you have a speedy recovery!

Sas - What an awesome collection of memories you have! Enjoyed seeing all the photos and hearing about things. I have a few memory pieces here and there...I like the way you have them together. My parents are moving this summer and are going through things at the house I lived in my whole life. Would you believe they threw out, yes, you read it correctly **threw out*** a box of my papers?? Have no idea what was in it, but I sure would have liked to have been given the opportunity to look through it before it all got pitched. My mom is even a genealogist, so I just can't believe she didn't save it for me! Who knows what treasures could have been lurking in the bottom of that box!

Rosevalley - your fur family is awesome and the azaleas are just beautiful!! Funny, I was typing while you were adding pictures and I was just thinking I need to figure out the whole posting pictures thing. We were in Wilmington, NC over the weekend and it was the Azalea Festival this weekend. We didn't actually go to it since we were there for another reason, but we sure did enjoy seeing them in people's yards. I just love them!

Blondie - hiya! Glad the weather was nice and you got out for a little while. It was a little rainy today but then cleared up. We're supposed to have rain all week, unfortunately!

And here is one of our current dogs, Spencer the 12 yr old Beagle.

Yeah, I was a millionaire once. Then my mom threw out my complete collection of Elvis cards.

Spookie- BUMMER an entire collection of Elvis cards?? Yep you would have been set for life. Same with really old baseball cards, worth a lot.

Mel-Spenser is adorable! The things we do for our fur kids. Our oldest dog 17 year old "Flower" named by my daughter when she was 3 years old, continues to amaze us. She is almost 18 and still keeps on ticking. She's so ugly she's cute, such a sweet little old lady. The groomer clips her nails and won't take $ because she can't believe she's still alive! I also painted a sign for her shop, that might be why too.

Susan- We tore up our house in 2008 and remodeling is the pits! So much chaos and work. I hope the bedroom turns out wonderful. Pretty light fixture. I hope Phyllis feels better and can post. Sassy- you seem to have several shrines up in your home, pretty antiques and touches.

rosvalley  - great pics.  esp love the cabin  and flowers  beautiful indeed

mel - we watched blended with adam sandler and drew barrymore very funny.   bandit it adorable and spencers got that gray face for a sign of maturity  .  thanks for posting

chevy - you got such a big heart

spookie  - lol true true

This is just so sweet.... the gal looks like she is going to cry.........

Chevy - yup...I could have been rich, for sure!! That is so great that you have made scrapbooks! I'm one of those people who really, really has high ambitions of scrapbooking, but it just never really happens. I take too long trying to figure out what color paper to use and which stickers to use, etc. I tried to do a little digital scrapbooking figuring maybe that would be better because I wouldn't have to print the pictures first, but I still just haven't done much. Maybe one day....

Spookie - I must say, I do love Elvis! Anyone watch those really silly old Elvis movies where nobody could act? I actually did watch them when I was young. Haven't seen one of them in years and I wonder what I would think of them now

Susan - Wow - that is a beautiful light fixture!!!

Rosevalley - That's amazing that you have an almost 18 year old dog!! And very cool that she gets free nail care. We keep threatening to put nail pawlish on the dogs...DH isn't too crazy about that idea, but now that we have our little "princess" Dixie, she does have quite a bit of pink stuff and her dog tag has some bling on it.

Patty - Adam Sandler has some very funny movies - we haven't seen Blended yet, but will have to put it on our list of movies to watch! Can't remember if I mentioned that my DD and I saw Cinderella and it was great! Might be hard to get your DS's to watch it, though! Maybe too girly for them! And, congrats on the successful start to the morning!!

I started this post about, well...maybe 2 hours ago and the last post at the time was Chevy's link...will be curious to see how many more posts are here once I hit submit!

Susan, love the light. You'll have to show us a pic when the room is done.

I just got to speak with DS1 in syndey. Yeah. Love FaceTime. I've talked to him more when he's 6,000 miles away then when he's was 85 miles! He's looking better, not so worn out. Starting to look for a new shop. They got the table runner I sent them.

Patty, you are sounding good. You're doing better this time around?

Sassy, like your bay windows.

Not doing too much. Been having some stomach pains, waiting to see what the doc has figured out. Poop! Better be nothing.

See ya guys tomorrow .

Good question jazzy

Yep have an asseaffordshotn friday so ee wiil sed what kind of servives i csn get

Also the wonderful nurses at chemo made arrangements 4 a grant to pay some of my billand then they also gave me a gift card worth alot of money, so grateful 4 people.

Unfortunately  i had to give my dog to my daughter.  She was kichaels the one that doesn't want to contribute to anything even 4 food 4 the dog, so i can't  afford her n my dd loves her n i will still see her, i had no choice. Also i have a rabbit to give away also. Sad but son is an idiot n i can't   afford much

Blondie, you have the kids from hell I swear. At least your daughter will take the dog and feed and care for her. I am very glad the nurses helped you out with $ for bills and that there are kind souls to stand up for you. I do hope you have laid out your hurdles and difficulties to social services so they can get you what you need. I send up prayers for your well being every night. Sounds like a few are answered.

There are lab rescue organizations who do some fantastic matching dogs with families and would bend over backwards to find a home for dog whose owner had cancer and was in hospice, so don't place the dog with your daughter if you think she won't love and care for it properly. The new family might even let you visit with the dog. Beautiful lab. Sorry about the rabbit too. We dearly loved our rabbits. Did you find a place for the cat? Geez Blondie.. (((((HUGS and more HUGS)))))

Patty- pets are lots of work. I feel just terrible when I am too sore to walk our dogs. They are used to regular walkies and pine away if there aren't any or the weather is too cold and rainy. Luckily we have a large back yard and throwing frizbees and balls can exercise the pooches. It does wear me out to wash everyone.. lots of energy, scouring tubs, towels, laundry mopped floors etc.. Remember that as your sons get older they can get a puppy and take 4H dog training classes and train it themselves! Get the pup when it's summer and they can do the crate training and such for 3 months while they are off from school.

Howdies to all I didn't mention. nite.
