    Oh lord help me!!!  Forgot to mention that dh called me today.  He'd been chatting with a co-worker who used to live in Orlando.  The guy told him that we can expect 90 degree weather with 100% humidity in August.  UGH!!!!!!!!!!  I'll frickin' die!!!!!!!!  I hate extreme heat--especially with high humidity.  Especially now with these stupid heat flashes I keep having.  What the heck am I gonna do? 

    xoxoxo

    Karen - did I miss something??  Are you going to Orlando??? In August??  I DO NOT recommend you do it!!! LOL.  I went to Disney in August MANY years ago (when I could tolerate the heat) and it was friggin hot!!! The ocean & pools were like bath water.  I can't imagine what it would be like when you are having a hot flash!!!Surprised  It was unseasonably hot in the Keys when we were there in October - 90 + and it was very uncomfortable. All i can say is - Good Luck!!!Cool

    Lisa - glad you are home safe and sound.  Curl up with Oliver and enjoy the peace and quiet. 

    Shirlann- I keep meaning to ask you.  I was thinking about your "pencil" problem - can it be you need a new mouse??? 

    Off to watch - "what not to wear"- Karen let your husband know, I'll save a spot on the couch for him!!! lol.

    Oh Karen, honey...with hot flashes it will be bad.  Florida is really, really bad in the summer! Unless you are at the beach!  Wear really cool, skimpy clothes?? Drink lots of ice water.....I have been there in August..and it is hot and HUMID.  I am not a fan of Florida...unless my butt is parked next to the Gulf or the Ocean!

    sorry.........You will still have a nice vacation!!!

    Sue, honey, you know you are not one to stay at home, it drives you nuts.  So try to plan the next day with something, go see the nearby museum, or some place (we all have them) that is nearby, that you have never gone to.

    Ulla, ask your doc for Effexor.  It is an anti-depressive, but they found, by accident, that a side effect of this drug helps with hot flashes.  A lot of our gals take it for this reason.  Nothing to do with hormones.

    We went to see "The Counterfiters" today, a German film.  It was good, but kinda sad too.

    Sue, baby, you just need to keep busy, honey, you don't do well at home.  Now is the time to think of our TV show, "Jon & Kate Plus 8".  This sweet couple could not have a baby so they had in vitro and got two beautiful twin girls.  She wanted another baby, he did not.  But she just kept after him and he gave in.  Well, they had SIX, that's right, SIX, all at once.  I really don't personally think he has forgiven her!   

    My pencil is acting up, but remember, you could have sextuplets and a pair of twins only 2 years older!   ARGHHHHHHH

    Love you all, Shirlann

    Hi Karen, we were there last in October, and I am not kidding, we went out of our hotel to just go a block to a 7-11 and we could not make it.  It is not hot, it is UNBEARABLE.  I mean it felt like we had stepped into a shower after someone had just used it.  You could not do a thing.

    Hugs, SHirlann

    Hi Karen! I love having breakfast for dinner!The first time I did that my o/h looked at me like I was nuts! He is sooo "black and white" Me , I love living in the grey area!lol

    I know what you mean about coming here and everyone has left.Cry I have been trying to come as soon as I get home from work so I can say  hello to Sue and all instead of good night.

    Oh my Karen , I have horrible hotflashes , including sweating , I would never go to Fla. in August! I have a hard enough time here in Oh when it gets horribly humid. Take your chillow pillow with you! And make sure you are by the water , be it ocean or pool. Gosh , I'm starting to flash just thinking about it. I don't tolerate heat well at all. When I was a little girl and would be playing outside in the summer , running around and doing normal kid stuff , I would always end up over heated and my mom would strip me to my underwear and put a cold cloth on my head and a fan on me. I would have a horrible heat headache. After I slept , I would feel better. I guess its no wonder I have bad hotflashes!lol

    Well ladies , after all this talk about food , I am making (first time) slow cooker short ribs tomorrow. Always wanted to try them (must be the hungarian in me) So tomorrow I make them! I couldn't decide to make them savory or bbq. I checked out some recipes and decided to go bbq.

    OK , enough babbling from me.

    Shirlann , get a new mouse. I miss you.xxxx

    And to all you lovely ladies ,

    Sue , Boo! You can be up anytime you want! You are on vacation! No clocks , just r and r. The "pencil" is Shirlann's cursor. Probably needs a new mouse like the other ladies suggested.

    Remember Sue , don't think of "oh my what will I do that I'm not working" . For one thing , It will fly by , so make some plans. Watch Gone with the Wind. Is your O/H on nights? Drag his butt out to the afternoon matinee. Like Shirlann said , go to a museum or a place you haven't been yet. And , we'll all be here for you when Tuesday comes. You can sit next to me on the roller-coaster It will be OK. Remember we are all in this together! Sweet dreams Sue.xxxx

    Geez, I think my dh and I will have to have a serious discussion about this Disneyworld in August thing.  Originally, we were going to go in June, but the resort we've chosen to stay at is booked already for June.  Of course, there was availability at the Grand Floridian resort, but the cost is over $1,000 more.  I don't think so!!  I'd rather spend that money on something else.  Like FOOD!!!!

    Ooohh, my casserole smells so good.  It's 7pm here and dh isn't home yet.  I'm eating without him if he's not home when the timer goes off.

    Love you all!!

    Karen

    Well, marmalade is okay--not my favorite, but I don't hate it.  Can't say if I like lemon curd or not.  I've never tried it.  Doesn't sound very appealing, does it? 

    Ewwww, Mel!  Do you really like brussel sprouts?  My mom used to fix them with boiled potatoes and meat with lots of gravy.  I'd mush them up with my potatoes and pour tons of gravy on them just to be able to eat them.  They taste so bitter to me.

    You'd better be back in bed Sue--silly girl!!!!!!!!!

    Hugs,

    Karen

    Its a veggie. Purple in color on the outside. White-ish on the inside. You can soak it in milk to take out the bitterness before cooking it. "Eggplant Parmasean" is great!

    Eggplant grows on a vine, doesn't it Mel?  It's purple and looks sort of like a squash to me.  It's rubbery when cooked--at least it was when I ate it.  Blechhhhhhhhhhhh!!  Sorry Mel.

    Karen , buy some green giant's frozen brussel sprouts. You can make them in the microwave. I didn't think I liked them , but those are sooo good , and are not bitter at all. Try it.
