Swannie...I was wondering the same thing about Ruby smoking a butt with apples....must be a southern thing :H

Rene...welcome to our big family! This is a great place to be.....everyone is so kind and caring and truly non-judgmental, so feel free to share.

Vicki...have a great time with Sharla! I so wish I could be there with you girls.

Sunny.....did you go to the doctor? Please let us know how your eyes are....

Hi, Nora! You are a sweetheart and I also feel blessed to have all of you in my life!!

Ruby.....you don't know anything about dog hair until you have 2 long haired dogs living in your small, 1 story home that have access to every room, every piece of furniture and especially love my bed! It's a nightmare getting from my bedroom out the door every morning without getting dog hair on my clothes!!

Rene - welcome - yes, this is a great place - and you couldn't have found a better thread either!! tell us a little about yourself if you would like to - we are all here for you and trust us - we have heard it all....... we are here to help, support, lend an ear or a shoulder - give a hand. Welcome and stay a while!!

Sorry I haven't checked in - I did my usual ostrich thing and have been asleep! Doc says it is a contact dermatitis (really !!!) and I have a topical steroid cream to use twice a day - I asked why it was lasting so long and he said some chemicals can get in your skin and take a while to get rid of - like poison ivy! I have been trying SO HARD not to scratch/rub !!! Using the Aloe RC - and no, I didn't get to Whole Foods but am meeting M-I-L there tomorrow morning.

Jan - you will do really well for the weekend and have a ball - I know you and you will enjoy wherever you are!

Ruby - you need to listen - everyone is asking you about when YOUR MRI IS. you are ignoring all of us. So - have the Rog's appeared yet? HI Mr and Mrs Rog!!! Oh - and WHY are you smoking a butt load of apples - what are you going to do with them and where did you get that many apples to smoke at this time of year???

Hi swannie my dear - how are you doing??

Hallo Grateful - lovely to see you - are you still going well re the NF??? You are awesome!! What was the website that you went to? I do need to get thinking about that now I am off the Guinness.......

Vicki - I am so pleased that everything is clean and tidy to your satisfaction - now maybe you will rest??? What about sharla's hubs? Is he coming too this weekend? Please try and rest and enjoy your daughter and just don't do too much eh? We all love you and want you to take care of yourself.

I need to go and do stuff after being lazy for the past 4 hours! back later maybe or see you all in the morning,

Hugs, sun XX

Good morning everyone, I hope you are well. We get Monday off this weekend, here in Canada !
Time to get some yard work done, and get the spring jobs finished. The black flies are here in spades though, man are they thick.

Sunshine, thanks, and I hope you have a nice weekend.
Grateful, I appreciate your words, thanks.
Vicki, maybe I should take some tylenol, because I am up way too early again. I am glad your daughter is coming home, I am happy for you.
Rene1, welcome, I hope you are well. When you are comfortable, tell us a little about yourself.
Nora, hi.
Mama, I didn't know you were such an athlete, way to go! I hope you win gold.

Morning Jammerz! Hill you are the official early bird here. I never use an alarm clock--I woke up at 5:00 and thought why couldn't it be 6? I would have liked to be up then--rolled over and it was 7 next. I haven't been outdoors much lately but everyone is complaining how thick the giant black flies are(as they do every Spring!)
Assuming no news is good news on the vacationers--hope you kids didn't stay up too late.
Vicki that is a generous offer to post some pics for me--I'm sure just sending you a pic will be a lot of use too--not sure if it would be less than uploading to PB then copying to here???
Sunni-has the cream helped? Hope you can get the "stuff" and get things back to normal.
Mama I know you'll kick some competitive ass this weekend. What a nice break for you. Do you go solo or is hubs joining you?
SSH--I love your sense of humour. Good for you in the healing process too!
Grateful - good on you girl for going NF!!
Hey Tony--did ya get the job? Did ya?
Fluffer where are you......Fen how were the biscuits--I hope Rog remembered.
Nora hugs to you sweetie.
Everyone I missed and all newbies keep posting sometimes it seems like we're talking to ourselves but believe me we're listening and always cheering each other on!
I will finally get the sauna room set up this weekend. The plans are in motion anyways. I've been hung up wandering around left over bulk that I didn't sell off and it was just in the way--so I called up the women's resource centre(that helped me last winter)and they were glad to take it away and will divy it out like little care packages for those in need. I may even get some fresh baked chelsie buns. It was about $400 cost. So as they are taking it away two daughters of my dearest male friend (RIP) popped into the store for a visit. One has a cottage in the area and the other is visiting with her new baby. The oldest chastised me for not asking for help with the move and offered to help me hang the curtains on Sunday(8-10 curtains). I am humbled and blessed!
Make a great day Jammers! xoxo

Good morning one and all. Didn't get to sleep till after 1:30. Rog snores! JK :H The Boston Butt was delicious! Couldn't get The Rogers to touch the Brunswick Stew. Told them they had no idea what good Southern food was!I knew the way I posted it would throw you guys off, and it worked. :H I seasoned it, and cut slits in it, then stuffed then with slices of apple. Cole slaw, sweet pickles, chips, and a fesh loaf of bread rounded out the meal.
We have walked around and shown them most of the stuff around here, at least pointed at it. They both said they slept well and Hubs had sausage and biscuits when I came down. (He and Roger were sitting at the bar eating and drinking their coffee.) Hubs has been a doll, helping me get ready and look after them. Poor Sue can't turn her head at all. The last surgery did more damage than good.
We have a big day planned today, so off to get dressed. Oh, and Goldie called last night, so Rog and I both got a chance to talk to her a bit. She's under a lot of stress right now, so keep her in your prayers.
Later all and WELCOME new posters!!

I've been fretting a bit over the lack of activities for guests staying at Wood tick holler.
You'll all be thrilled to hear that I've come up with a couple of ideas. For those who enjoy a good workout, I'll offer wood chopping and splitting. Later, we can pick ticks off of each other and flick said ticks into the bonfire. Late at night, we can sneak over to Governor Dodge state park and go skinny dipping! Any takers?

Went out to eat for dinner to celebrate being af. I had two places in mind both served al but one place rarely gets ordered and I never drank there so there were no issues and the other one was a bar and restruant where I did go eat there before without drinking, however knowing that place A is both a little cheaper and less likely to fail, I chose place A. Enjoying my af day and I feel great. I am loving the fact that I will no longer have a hangover.
