    Chevy- that is cool, and did not know most of those (just a few). I especially love the one about the ink cartridge/emergency ink. I want to get every last drop out of those for my home office printing. Those cartridges are not cheap! Thanks for sharing that!

    Well, this little lady is getting out this morning and doesn't plan on leaving the house again until maybe Friday. Highs 103-105 for the next 2 weeks per Accuweather. I say pox on this weather. I'm ready for El Nino winter. DH nearly got heat stroke unloading hay yesterday. Still has 8 bales left on trailer to do this evening. I do not envy those doing tax-free back to school shopping this coming weekend. Sorry I looked - Ft Worth has highs predicted for 106.

    Welcome Zills and Eeyore. If I leave someone out please forgive my oversight. Zills hope you have an uneventful trip back from Ireland. KY at least ought to be green though not nec. cool lol. Blow back in with the wind Eeyore.

    My hubby shakes up the cartridges when they start getting low to try and get every last bit of ink out when we print

    Luv- stay cool. I hear there is a high pressure system coming our way and it is going to warm up here too. The rains the past week have cooled things down here. There was a feeling of fall in the air today, and I love that! I am ready for autumn.

    Stay cool my friend. I lived in TX once and know all about those HOT summers.....

    Spookie- I woke up to thunder booming, lightening and buckets of rain! The second coming is upon us, where is the dang ARC???. Too bad we can't set up some distribution center for moving water around to Wash. Oregon, and CA! I sat near this wall of glass in my Mom's livingroom and watched this little bird take a rollicking fluttering "bath" in a puddle. The entire time it was raining.."shower time -no!" Bath time yes! Geez I hope this weather breaks for your sister's wedding this weekend Loverly! Fingers crossed! Either that or they can hand out rubber ducks as wedding mementos and change the Disney characters to Donald and Daisy!

    All this humidity and heat makes me swell up! I have been taking extra lasix several every day and today my ankles and feet look normal but the skin is all shriveled and cracked like a dried snake -shrunk back after the fluid leaves lovely look. The diuretics must get some off my gut, but not nearly enough to relief pressure and sore ribs from the ascites. At least it hasn't gotten worse. My lymphadema left arm swells too.. such fun. lasix has no effect on my arm, bummer. Cantelope and nectarines here are SOOOO Good. Good to replace potassium too.

    Welcome newbies this is a nice neighborhood. Enjoy.

    Morning Rosie, yes, we ushered in the rain just for you b/c it's been so parched in Oregon. Too much? Dinner sounds fantastic. I love seafood above all other foods. Sand Hill cranes are pretty close to my favorite. They have adapted to humans unlike any other crane. Usually upscale neighborhoods with large retention ponds. One time a family group was right in the Cracker Barrel just a few feet from the door. They hung out there according to the gals inside. Happy you are able to visit. Sounds good :)

    Welcome Zills, sassy from the fentanyl thread. I'm not so serious here. Actually, the more serious I am somewhere else on BCO, the goofier I get here. Ah-hah, enlarged your avatar and I can see the kids now. Glad you came to see us and Rosie :)

    Eeyore, Glad you came back. Love your avatar.

    Kathy,Yay for continuing visit. Please, ask your DGS what is his favorite thing about the USA? What is his least favorite thing? What would he change? I used to do this with DS about trips. School. All kinds of things. The answers were always interesting.

    Loverly, What guilt? No way. Loved being that goofy, it's been awhile. Hope TresJ comes back.

    Chevy, that pic list is so funny. Most everything I have never heard of. All of them took someone to figure it out and most are never used.

    Frenchfrye, sounds like you are coming up for air?

    Lilgoats how are your goats doing?

    Marley? What up? You? How's the bum? Priformis almost sent me to Er one night. Then I had a DUH moment. I worked with two docs that did great teaching on the flat on your back stretch. i was fairly positive it was piriformis. When the stretch worked just as the docs said, it saved me from a ER trip and fixed it in short order(continued it prn for ever)

    Patty thinking of you :)

    Blondie you too. Wish you could stay the summer. Hope you have been up to doing some fun things. Happy thoughts.

    Doing ok here Sas. Dag hands starting to swell and it is day 6 post chemo. Thought I was through the worry. But, taking the decadron and plowing as much water as I can. Cannot hear for crap lol but that is not new.


    Rose- Mmmm nectarines! I can smell them from here. Glad you got to watch your lil birdy frolic and bathe. Sounds like fun. I hope the swelling goes down and you are enjoying yourself.


    Hugs to everyone. Hate being scattered....

    well, the winds brought Eeyore in and the Southern Cross has brought me. Have been lurking a while since Sas got in touch on another thread, but wasn't sure if you gals have the same "wee small hours" as I do. Seems like you do!

    Just home a few days ago from surgery to clean up a very ugly mastectomy/recon wound. Am feeling good now, first time in weeks. I am sure that PS will have me looking like a super model in no time!!!!

    00:40 am Tuesday here so not sure our insomniac hours exactly align,but it could be fun!

    Happy Tuesday from downunder

    Jacfin, hellloooo, Chevy will be along to rename you. All newbies get new names. Just another thing to confuse you. Glad you came. I missed that you were a Southlander. Alyson's from Auckland, but she's not often here. Smarrty's going to Australia in the not to distant future. I forget where. Her DS is there. Smarrty's, also, off to Ireland soon. I wondered how you had been doing. Have you gotten the swing of how the boards work? We are an unusual group. Newbies to stage4 and everywhere in between. Hope you enjoy being with us.:)

    frenchfrye, all these friggen lessons. Those folks that breeze through treatments(kinda breeze), I marvel at that. I'm in the boat that's labeled Anything Goes. You are too.

    I declare a healing on the post RAI131(radioactive iodine 131 for thyroid cancer) problem with the hooha(vulva). It's been 1 year, 4 1/2 months.

    Hi Sas, yes, starting to work out these boards. Have spent a lot of time on June surgeries thread.......many of us had probs and it was certainly a help to me to have those lovely ladies to chat to. Have met Alyson on the Aussie sisters thread which is the other place I tend to hang out.

    By far though, this is the weirdest, loveliest, funniest, fastest, most social thread on the board. I have giggled and cried with you all the past couple of weeks ( just quietly in the background)

    Seven and half weeks after my mastectomy, I at last have a scar ( barring one small hole). This is much better than the open, ulcerated and infected wound I have been trying to cope with so I bless that scar. I am feeling so much better.

    Looking forward to getting to know you all. I certainly sympathise with that hot weather. Perth is one of the hottest cities in Australia come summer and our aircon runs 24/7. Right now, we have pleasant winter conditions 6/7c rising to 18/20c. We need some winter rains though, so you FL ladies can feel free to send it our way if you like.

    Welcome Jac. We rock/roll most all times of the day. Chevy gets up at the crack of dawn usually and beats everyone on. I think she even gets to greet some of the Westcoasters still staying up. We can be serious if need be but have a frolicking good time here.

    Spookie - gosh darn. I got a tweet about your flooding. Then had to go to WFLA home page to see other stuffs. Have live news playing in background. And TVN shows more c***ola sitting out west yet. Y'all need a breakie pooh.

    Not exactly sure Rosie where you are. North of Spookie? Hope both of you are safe. Glad you are continuing to enjoy your visit if not the floods so much.

    Jac- welcome to our thread. Glad you have found this a place you want to hang out. We cry, laugh, tell funny stories, talk about the weather and everything else here.

    We hope you will stay and hoping you continue to feel better from your surgery.

    Rose- thanks for continuing to let us know how you are doing in FL. Sorry you are getting so much rain though! I hope you can find comfort from all the swelling. Wishing you a continued good time with family.

    Goats

    See the blue dot just below Palm Harbor? That's me. Sarasota where Rose is is south of me. Blondie is further south around Naples, all of us on the west coast. Frey is in the Keys, don't know which.

    Had a picnic at the beach with the cousins. High tide. Sunshine. Gorgeous. Thinks it's funny Irish summer is 18-22 (hot) which translates to 60s. 70 is hot. And jac in Perth says that's her winter. Did I interpret it right?

    Going home to high 70s/low 80s (25) Maybe not such a shock to the system. Trying to figure out what can stay or be donated so can cram in more chocolates, tea and crisps.

    Really want to sleep solid tonight. Probably really won't:(

    Rose find yourself some sleepy time tea. May help your belly. I want to eat dinner with you. Sounds yummy.

    Will have to look up marathon and Priformis. You all are keeping me on my toes!

    Princess finally decided that she was ready for a nap, so she's crashed out til Daddy gets home.

    Humidity has to be about 70% or higher
