please help

Lisa - I'm beginning to think the crappy weather lately has gotten alot of us down.  Although it is warm here also so UB & I will be walking later as well.  I think once you get back to work (even though you don't want to) it will help alot.

Lucy - What a Hottie!!!  Oh, to be young again....................sigh.

Jane - hope the class helps that arm of yours.

Karen - WOW!!!  What a great picture!!  You look terrific - a true survivor!!!

Sheila - I am soooo happy you heard from yoiur son. Damn war, I'm sick of it.

Ulla - YOUR BACK!!!  YIPPEE!!!  Rad's are uneventful, are they???  More of a pain in the arse then in the boob, right???  I was very fatigued as well from them.  But it does get better.

Sue - you had me laughing out loud about the rugrat - toooo funny.

Well gotta go and walk the dogs then go for my walk with UB, love you all.

bbl,

AE 

Oh my gosh, Sue!!!  What a character you are!  I can just see their jaws dropping open!!!  I don't think I'd ever have the guts to do that.  You are one of a kind, dear Sue!  Love you!!

Lisa, I can totally relate to how you're feeling.  I've been feeling less than chipper myself lately.  I think my mood swings are due to the switch in anti-depressants.  I really did so much better on the Lexapro, but the Effexor helps with the night sweats.  Why can't they come up with one that's effective for both issues??  Just remember, we're here for you in good times and in bad.  Good luck at work tomorrow.  It may be hard to go back, but I think you'll feel better again once you do.

Hope you're having a good walk, AE.  It's raining here today, but tomorrow is supposed to be sunny.  I'm sooooo looking forward to summer.  Can you believe we're switching the clocks already this coming Saturday?  This winter has been pure crapolla!!!! 

Hugs,

Karen

Mel - is that your car????

No , thats not my car , just a pic of one on a tow. Mine is sitting in the mech's garage smelling of gasoline!this is how I feel , watching my hard earned dollars flowing onto the ground under my gas tank.

Thanks Karen. Yeah , I think we all pretty much feel this way. Except maybe the saudis!

Karen, honey, you look beautiful!

Well, my pencil/toothpick is acting up, so I have to say, goodnight!

Love to you all, Shirlann 

Hello dear sisters everywhere! You are probably all sound asleep right now. When you are all on here chatting it's morning here and I am racing around trying to get organised (?) and don't get the time to say much.

Sheila - it must have been so great to hear your son's voice. It will be wonderful for you to see each other again.

Sue - Lol! I did laugh over your hair-raising prank with those boys! I love your fantastic sense of humour! It will be so good for you to have a week off and just chill out - I hope you can forget work and the pinpricked Tom and really relax.

Lisa - I have noticed that you are not yourself lately and I wish I could give you a big hug. I think that the emotional side effects of surgery are, in many ways, worse than the physical ones. It took me a while to feel ok again. Each one of us reacts in similar and different ways to these things. You know that you can come on here any time and say exactly how you feel and you will be understood and accepted.

Melody - I hope your car is fixed soon. What a giant nuisance it is when they break down. Love the pic! I think our petrol costs twice as much as it does in the US and it's even more expensive in UK & Europe. My car has a lot of mileage and every time I drive it, I wonder it it will get me there! I catch trains when I can, to minimise its wear and tear and to save on running costs.

Karen - in case you didn't get my birthday wishes on the other thread - Happy birthday for Saturday!

Love to everyone.

ALL YOU ANIMAL LOVERS OUT THERE  - Thought you'd get a kick outta this one!

The differences between cats and dogs.. The Dog's Diary 8:00 am - Dog food! My favorite thing! 9:30 am - A car ride! My favorite thing! 9:40 am - A walk in the park! My favorite thing! 10:30 am - Got rubbed and petted! My favorite thing! 12:00 pm - Milk bones! My favorite thing! 1:00 pm - Played in the yard! My favorite thing! 3:00 pm - Wagged my tail! My favorite thing! 5:00 pm - Dinner! My favorite thing! 7:00 pm - Got to play ball! My favorite thing!  8:00 pm - Wow! Watched TV with the people! My favorite thing! 11:00 pm - Sleeping on the bed! My favorite thing!  The Cat's Diary Day 983 of my captivity. My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength. The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet. Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates my capabilities. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am. Bastards! There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of "allergies." I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage. Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow, but at the top of the stairs. I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches.  The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released, and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded. The bird must be an informant. I observe him communicate with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe.  For now...

AE

Well, I made it through my first day back to work. I only worked an 8 hour day. But that was enough to start with. AE...I forgot to tell you, I love your new avatar! Karen, glad you got your rad schedule.  You will sail through this....I can tell! Ulla....honey...so sorry about how you are feeling about your dh,and possibly giving your kitty back.  I agree with what Karen said.  Maybe give it a little more time.  Has your dh always been so jealous? Ulla...I do understand about the feeling down.  That is where I have been for awhile.  I can't seem to feel better. I feel like I am down in a deep hole in the ground, and I can't get out.  I will pray that you and I both will be feeling better soon.  Happy day's ahead I hope for us both!  It's got to get better. Hi dear Sue...how are you today honey? Love to all my dear sisters here.  Thank you for all of your support. I am so sorry I am such a downer lately.  I just can't shake it.  Someone at worked asked me how I was doing, and I got all teary!  How embarassing! xoxo....Mel, Sue, Jane, Sheila, Lucy, Wren, Mia, Shirlann, AE & UB, Ulla & Karen! xoxo Lisa

Good morning everyone. Everyone seems to be going through something right now. So I wanted to give us all a big group hug.

Well ladies , I should be at work right now. But we got a terrible ice storm last night. We don't have a garage , so my o/h car has a thick coating of ice on it. I just got the door open and am trying to de-ice it. Now I can't get the wipers to work! Maybe its an omen to just stay home. OK , back to de-icing. Hope everyone is feeling better. Much love to you all.xxxx Melody

Good for you Sue!  I'm proud of you for calling in sick and telling Tom off!

I had to share the following with you all.  If our dogs could talk, I'm sure they'd confirm every one of these.

Top 10 Peeves Dogs Have With Humans

1. Blaming your farts on me..... not funny... not funny at all!

2. Yelling at me for barking. I'M A FRIGGIN' DOG

3. Taking me for a walk, then not letting me check stuff out. Exactly whose walk is this anyway?

4. Any trick that involves balancing food on my nose. Stop it!

5. Any haircut that involves bows or ribbons. Now you know why we chew your stuff up when you're not home.

6. The sleight of hand, fake fetch throw. You fooled a dog! Whoooo oooooooo what a proud moment for the top of the food chain.

7. Taking me to the vet for "the big snip", then acting surprised when I freak out every time we go back!

8. Getting upset when I sniff the crotches of your guests. Sorry, but I haven't quite mastered that handshake thing yet.

9. Dog sweaters. Hello ??? Haven't you noticed the fur?

10. How you act disgusted when I lick myself. Look, we both know the truth. You're just jealous.

I know there's a cat one too.  I'll find it and post.  I'm sure it's even funnier than the dog one.

Hugs,

Karen

Hi sisters.  I am at work..thought I would pop in and say hello.

Omg..Karen..that is a funny one about the dogs! So true!!

Good luck at your hearing for your ticket!

We had quite an ice storm here.  One of my co-workers was driving into work...a big tree, cam across a 4 lane road, and fell on the top of her van!! If she wasn't in such a sturdy vehicle..she would have been hurt very badly. Luckily she came out ok....just scared and sore.  I think God was watching out for her!!

Mel....Thank you for the big hug!!!!!!!!!! Gosh I need that!  I don't get many hugs anymore.  I sometimes feel sooooo alone!

Sue...glad you took a sick day!! It's about time!!!!!!!!!!!! Good for you...let's see dear Tom struggle his bootie off!!!!!!

Shirlann...no, I am not on antidepressants.  I never have been through all of this. Not sure why.  God knows I needed them during my t'x's and my crazy ex, putting me through such hell.  Then the divorce during all that!  Maybe I do need something now.  I just hate taking pills.  I already feel cloudy everyday since my surgery. I don't want to feel even more out of it.

Take care everyone.  I will check in later....I think.

xoxo

Lisa
