Those Ashley Madison cheater web-sites?
Even if it's "I'm only TALKING trash".......It's like you go to a barber shop often enough, you're gonna get a hair-cut!

Chevy,computers broke again. My tech buddy has control. I,m on kindle. Yes they've was a meaning behind the sequence. We should be like a noisy house full of everyone talking,laughing, and being crazy wild. Gathering together even when things are sad.
-
Yeah, I got something right for once. Love the message!!
-
Dunes, thinking about you this morning too. Again, I hope it stems from dehydration and or lack of sleep...or side effects of drugs.
Yes, Ms. CHEVY, you both are truly blessed. We do our best with the tools we are given. Reading your message to each other put a warm feeling in my heart.

Dunes - Thinking of you this morning. In your pocket girl.
OK Rant time. You know I've got a beef with my MO. He's done standard of care I get that. Maybe I don't complain enough about my aches. But I've got this ongoing thing with his dingbat staff. Last Fri. I get a call from where I get my bone density (due April 2016) that I need one b4 August 21. Now I see the importance of that strange date. I called Tues. and spoke with MO's RN who's been there for years - at least as long as I've been going there. "Mistake, ignore it, don't know why she put that order in". I also told her I was not getting the Prolia until I saw that 2016 density and would revisit that issue then. Know now who the she is - the nurse practitioner. DH gets a call yesterday (3:30) while I'm at eye doc that I've missed an appt for my shot, lab work and ?genesis? (what he heard). Oh Dear did he chew her out whoever called - I didn't get a name from him he was chewing on her so well. Said she was stammering. He said she's pretty fed up with stuff being scheduled and not notified. I think he mentioned the bone density. This was all because of that stupid Prolia shot. I've yet to hear from the ins. on copay - that was "requested" with Tues. call to RN. Good thing I don't need something desperately from these clowns. I don't know who to call, may just sit on my duff and see if someone calls me on Monday to apologize. You'd have thought the RN could see on her stuff if I had been scheduled for a Prolia on Friday. And I do have online portal, they are quite capable of sending message. Nope sure didn't. I would fire the MO but the staff would be same. Maybe not the NP but insurance would be. May call and rag on them Monday pm after the Mon am frantic calls abate. The only other group in town (not that there are not solo practioners) I don't care for. Not fond of the breast CA doc there. Cutting off nose to spite face kinda thing. Whew I feel better. I cannot believe DH spewed all that out. He was firm, I'm sure not nasty rude but got his point across. I keep thinking what if I was some elderly person who came home to that message or someone who cannot navigate medical stuff. Monday may be interesting.

Tea?
-
Loverly , LOL we could make a game out of this?
Swim jazzy? Meet you in the pool
-
And Lilgoats is right in the middle of a cluster phug......... ! I think we've all been there.... If it ain't ONE thing, it's a dozen more.... Sorry bout that!
Yes, I am probably that "elderly person" but I would raise holy hell, if I thought they were screwing around with my STUFF! I used to just let it all pass, and say ho-hum, and then whatever...... but man, not anymore...!
See when you DO get older, you don't have to put up with as much BS as you used to! And you can see right through people, like relatives or "friends" that are driving you nuts.
Yes, I know it's rude, to say something like ARE YOU FOOORKING NUTS? But you look at them and just say, "you must be having a lapse of judgement or memory, because what is coming out of your mouth is neither funny, nor intelligent, and rather stupid"..... So therefore you don't have to pay any attention.... I mean in my own humble opinion.
-
You tell'em Chevy
Computers fixed and the new printer/fax is installed. I love my 'Answers by Me" tech service. No worries something gets fouled up they are just a phone call away. Today's problem besides the install. Picked up lap top and walked to the living room. Put it down and the screen was side ways. I wasn't careful how I carried it. Hit something.
Lilgoats, did you have some tea?
-
Thanks Sassy. On my second cuppa. Thinking of a third to go with pimiento cheese sammie - alas from store not homemade. What the heck are EMRs for if the staff cannot read them I ask?
"you must be having a lapse of memory" I must remember that one lol "neither funny nor intelligent and rather stupid" OO you're just giving me verbal ammunition
-
Swim was lovely, but the pool pump wasn't working. Working yesterday. Will have to call my pool guy. Part of my staff. I'd be lost without my staff.
Lilg, trying to work up a reason to go to dinner, but went out last night.....Sami good. Which teas are you drinking? I'm going to find some. Luzianne maybe.
-
Oh hot tea. Trying to wake up. Assam and Yorkshire English. Strong stuff.
-
Another small rant more general applicable. 30 minute search to find my new metoprolol succinate ER pill description. Can you tell I double check pharmacists? Finally found that though it is dispensed under the old pharma label Watson Labs DailyMed uses the new umbrella co name Actavis. Finally found it and yes it was the correct med. I love that I get my Letrozole in the factory bottle. Very hard to read those tiny pills. 3rd cuppa on to heat. Will have to switch to something cold soon but not being very active so not getting too warm.

This was in the Ft Worth Star Telegram today. UT Southwestern (Dallas) is branching into Ft Worth gradually. The Moncrief Cancer Institute abuts my glaucoma doc's office; its been there several years. I worry about what development in this end of town will swallow. There are still many small independent docs or small practices in this area. Also just down the block from John Peter Smith (JPS) Hospital, the Level One Trauma Center in FW. Seems they're buying up smaller parcels including what is a bankrupt partially built specialty surgical hospital. This is all in a few blocks in what is by far not the nicest part of town. I should know, had patients in NH just around the corner from this and a pt in what I would call a flophouse a block away for a short while. Seems cancer treatment in FW has hit the big dollars.

Hmm found June article about new investor -unnamed - for the unfinished hospital. Guess it was UTSW. It is NCI designated, not the same level as MD Anderson but still for us I would think good. If I had something strange and unusual I would sure be stoked. Few of these lots are anywhere near each other. I guess they are hoping for being in the same general area.
-
Hey goats, are there not images or physical descriptions of the pills on the label? Maybe pharmacy law is different in Texas, but here in California it's required. All this talks about tea make me want to go and make myself a cup of green tea. Where is Jazzy? She is usually on everyday.
-
Afghan it's so Smokey here! We need rain.
-
Brother(74) just called. He was being worked up for open heart. CT of chest picked up a mass. Renal cancer. Asymptomatic. Scheduled for resection Sept 1st. Sucks.
-
Same here Beachbaby! From the California wild-fires........ Just hazy out.
Sorry Sass..... I'm sorry........... I don't understand what it all means, but let us know.....
And Beaches, what? Are you talking to an Afgan? Nt nubs ua viffkws..... I mean I am boggled. See, I was watching TV while I was typing, and I did THAT! HaaaaaahHHHHHHaaaaaa!
-
Aw Ms. Sas, tough when you and family carry mutated genes. I am sorry for the not so good news. It would be nice if we had steel/iron shoulders to bear our burdens.
-
Thanks
-
Sorry Sass,
-
sorry sas
-
thanks Mema and beachside.
-
Aw, Sassy, so sorry to hear that. May I just say one more time, cancer sucks! The only thing worse is cancer treatment!
Loverly, normally that would be accurate about weeds choking out flowers. But when we moved into this house, there was (and still is) a half circle garden outside the den windows. Before I got a chance to try to grow anything in it, it was full of what turned out to be four o'clocks. Very pretty, but impossible to get rid of! There's not a weed in the garden.
Went to a banquet at church last night with my cousin and helped her with flowers and so forth, overdid it badly, my muscles were rigid last night even with an extra muscle relaxer, and still rigid this morning (pretty sure it's a "fight or flight" mechanism) so I took another this morning and melted. Went back to bed and didn't really sleep but just lay there all day floating, finally napped a bit and got up around 4. Now I have a bit of a headache, going to bed.
-
Weeds? We know weeds.... This is that area out front that I cleaned up.... HERS is still there, and will probably stay there until hell freezes over.. Ha! There ARE those few "flowers" that you can see, but the ground is hard as a rock... just glad I got my 1/2 looking good.
Mags, I don't think you should take any more of those pills...?? Can you also use heat? Do they help you enough so you can get out of bed? We just can't over-do so much anymore... I can SAY this stuff, but I over-do it too, sometimes...
So that's my contribution for today... just thought I'd post a couple pictures which you've seen a dozen times already....

This was the tiny house on the corner... A few owners since we've lived here...but then, this guy bought the property, tore down the garage in back, built him a garage/workshop, lived in it, and scraped the house, and built this HUGE place out of star-wars! He is a contractor/whatever, and has thoroughly modern ideas.....
http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/3...
And this is the "house" they built there, for One Million one hundred and thirty thousand!
It was sold before it was even finished...... The roof is also corrugated aluminum... It is a single-family home, and the garage/workshop is out in the back... I guess the "rust-look" is in... in his mind...

Jazzy! Did you see this?
