INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

Actually, I don't like to "delete" any post, so all I do is click "edit" and take away anything I don't like...! And then just start over with something maybe even more understandable... in it's place..... or not.

Otherwise people will think "Oh WHAT did she say wrong THIS time! Ha!

I LOVE Lamb's Quarter greens! I grew them once, because my Grandpa gave me seeds, and have forgotten about them, until you guys get on this thing about greens! It's like Spinach, only tastes better.

ALSO, get you some Kale, then cook it up with a little chopped fried sweet Italian sausage, onions, potatoes, garlic and Italian Parsley! Then thicken it with Bisquick & milk, and it's just like the soup at the Olive Garden. I eat it for about 3 days or more... even for breakfast!

That Donald is just a dink. I know we are all entitled to our own opinions, but this guy's mouth is so full of his foots, that you just have to laugh. I just watch him for the entertainment value.

Peppermint! You sprang yourself! Good JOB! Now let's see how long THIS lasts! Those hospitals better have nice looking fireman type interns, or I ain't going. I just hope you stay feeling better.

Queenie!!!!!!!! "Cat spit?" Haaaaaaaaaaaaahahaaaaaaaah! That's a good one! Just get our cat his own glass.

Oh Rosie! You brought into the conflaburation something about Sass and her ability to confuse the hell out of us with her foreign language multitudes. See? I can do it too. I didn't even want to mention some of those words that fly off Sass's fingers.... I just pretend I understand....

Morning HiHo.... I know...... everytime I go out in my garden, I "see" bluebird... I glued her on my blue bird-bath....

MARLA! YAY!!!!!!!!!!! Now drink it! You will see! It is just so GOOD for everything inside you!

No, little miss Sparkle Plenty wouldn't know what to do with it if she had it. She throws these "seeds" out, then looks at them again 3 years later, and thinks it's beautiful. I will take pictures of this mess when I get my 1/2 done... I've never done such hard grueling work in my LIFE!

She is probably sitting over there with her beach hat on, barefoot, and reading Better Homes and Gardens. With a proper iced-tea at her side.

MoMom... take it easy today.... Man, my hands are sore too, and my back, and my fingers have little cuts on them.... along with those bruises on my arms... It's getting light out... so gotta get my "stuff" and do some more work on the mess from hell.

Marla: I'm in the 'no bivalves except scallops' group too. I've been referring to that whole group as nastyslimyrubberybivalves for years now--I have texture issues like whoa--and all sorts of teasing from my family about that. But vodka shots plus just about any food plus being in college would have given me the heebie jeebies about the bleep things even had I NOT had a preexisting aversion.

Chevy: our cats have had their own glasses for years. Not that we spoil our pets or anything. We just have to remember to NOT put our own glass of water next to theirs, because everything belongs to the cats. Cat #1 (he who provided my username) had a sweet tooth, so we had to be careful not to leave glazed doughnuts, lemon drops or raisin bran where he could reach them. And he was a BIG athletic boy.

I can barely tolerate shrimp. And it had better be covered in buffalo sauce, or it's not going down my throat. I've always said that stuff tastes like low tide smells. Nasty. My dad liked to fish, and go frog gigging. Would say the chit tastes like chicken. No, chicken tastes like chicken. Not real fond of that either.

Won't do kale either. Slimey chit. Can't now Woopee! messes with my Coumadin. Yay!!!!

Spookie your shrimp post cracks me up.. hahaha Yay Patty you are out! Hugs to everyone I missed this thread makes me smile.. thanks ya'll.

Tang!!!!!!

Yeah, gotta watch out for Sas.

Thanks Smarty

She's going to start 1st grade this year

Speaking of traveling, we went to Estes Park the week of Father's Day. It was our first trip to Colorado and it was AWESOME. I now want to live there, we didn't want to come back. I get daily reminders from dh about the weather in Estes Park compared to the sickening heat here in DFW.

lol

Tang, my DD was there earlier this month. She had to buy sweatshirt got down to 45!!!!

Well I still haven't caught up but if I don't write this now I will have forgotten it!

Drove straight through to the casino Sunday afternoon, almost exactly 3 hours. My friend's group had just arrived, so we got settled in our room and hit the slots. We just played penny slots, hopped from one to another, couldn't believe all the different kinds! Ate some dinner then went to our room and played on laptops for a while. Monday I ended up having to take a nap, but then we went down and hit the slots again, lost & won & lost & won – I finished losing what DH had allotted me, but then my friend was down to her last $5 so was going to cash it in but on the way to the cashier she was sidetracked by a Wheel of Fortune slot and won $200! So she went and cashed it in and split it with me! So we ended up playing until after midnight then had to go up and pack. They had to have their bags ready at 7:30 in the morning so we were up at 6 and I got some coffee and left around 7:30. Could not keep my eyes open. Stopped halfway and slept for half an hour in the parking lot of a Walgreen's. Made it home, climbed into bed and slept for most of 2 days.

I managed to do it, and I enjoyed it, but I wouldn't do it again, because the recovery is the pits. I've developed a tremor in my left hand that is so bad I can't even hold my phone still to type on it. And sometimes my whole body shivers like it's cold, but it's not. Just trembles all over. What is this fresh new hell?

I will finish catching up later.

Mags--sounds like you had a great time! I agree that the tremor could be driving.

Goats--I paid $4.07 yesterday at Wally World for organic cafe free eggs. Crazy prices since California passed a law on chicken farming that limits the number of chickens per square foot. I was already buying organic cage free at $2.50 but then the price jumped after the law passed even though it didn't effect them. I guess they figured that if regular eggs are $3 a dozen, they have to jack up the prices on the special ones. I'd get a couple of chickens but if the dogs didn't eat them outright, they'd probably constantly chase them all over yard and the poor things would be so traumatized that they'd never lay an egg!

Loverly--congrats on the Junior Olympics.

Sas--I know, too many hours. When I was younger, I could work six 15-hour days in a row and not be the least bit tired. Working my regular 12 hour day for three days plus my bi-weekly 8 hour day just about kills me. I'm not subject to mandated overtime right now because of my BC treatment but I volunteered to stay 2 hours Tuesday night to cover sick leave and that extra two hours kicked me in the behind! Lesson learned--won't be doing that again. And good to know on the hair ball!

Hi, Susan! I can't remember if I mentioned it, but also check with your local Area Agency on Aging for resources for you and your mom. My sister is the director of the one in Riverside County and sits on the federal board so I know thatthey have lots of programs. One thing I do know is that Medi-Cal pays for respite care for your mom if you need to go out of town or just need a break. Good luck!

ahh Junior Olympics. Now I get it.

I'd get some chickens too but I have bad creatures that come in the yard - possums, raccoons, hawks. DH would have to build a chicken coop like Fort Knox and I don't see that happening.

First time for this to happen. Answered door and it was real estate lady card in hand and well known agency, cold calling for potential customers. Not us, sorry. Neighbor trying to sell, 2nd time for this. Need to move into town, too much land to keep up. She says market out here is flat. Not per this real estate lady, market hot. I think neighbor is closer to the truth. The cattle land just across the road is back on the market. Was slated for development. Not sure what fell thru - financing, platting, wrong timing.

Ha Sassy. No doc even comments on the Advil and it's on for sure my PCP group stuff. MO doesn't look at most anything. Have yet to hear from that Prolia chick at his office. Like I said I think I will stick with my Fosamax until next April and next bone density. Hopefully I won't have another surgery to cascade tumor cells. No clue what I had for LX. Fentanyl? I have no records from actual surgery, only path report, so I'll never know.

Yay Susan for prolapsed uterus. Odd thing to be saying but by golly in the scheme of BC something positive.

Chevy: (laughs) Original poster NOT to be held responsible for how readers msinterpret her posts. But you'd think an editor would know better! Dangling modifiers, ambiguous terms, doesn't matter. I've fixed it. But all I"m gong to say is that MY cats don't get anything to correct their vision until they start reading my books and discussing them with me.

Their own DRINKING glasses, that's another matter. There's always a bowl of fresh water down by their kibble. And yet....whatever's in the humans' beverage containers is far more appealing. At least until they realize it's wine or coffee or peppermint tea, and back away making the Mr. Yuk face. And then give me a "Oh, shut up, you b****h. This so isn't funny!" glare when I snicker at them. We found it easier to just have a glass of water on my bedside table for them, and a can of seltzer for me.
