    The Journey begins here so get YOUR ASSES IN GEAR!!!! for september

    Fen, I've TOLD you, if you persist in sunbatheing nude on my handrail, all bets are OFF! ROTFLMBO!! That darned squirrel does that regularly, despite being about 6 feet from a Rottie. Now, it TINK catches sight of him, she's out on the screened porch like a flash, and it becomes demolition derby out there, just blurs of fur going round and round. And I'll guarantee the squirrel weighs more than Tink. I completely agree Ninny needs a playmate, but my animal quotient, paired with my available time, is full. I only caught the tail end of that encounter, but GAWD I like to find things that torment Sadie like she has me. She is the dog that actually pulled the new wallpaper off the walls in my bedroom because Hubs left her at home one day. Don't worry, no goats or JRT's were harmed in the making of the video.
    T, this is the weekend (actually the sales started today) I told you and Sue about. Coming home today I passed (on the 8 mile stretch from the by-pass to my house) everything from boats and mopeds to chickens and fresh eggs advertised for sale. Tents, trailers, you name it, are up and ready for the next 4 days. Also just heard we may get the first rain in months THIS weekend. Mother Nature has a strange sense of humor.
    ATL, I spend a lot of time ignoring my medical needs, trying to avoid having to go in an see a doc. Unfortunately, there are some things that just WON'T be denied. :H You can't imagine how inventive I can be staying away from them! On the up side, I've managed to winnow out the ones I'll never go to again, (loved you sending a bill!) and the ones who've become good friends over the years. If there's not a mutual respect, I'm not paying to be ignored or to be herded along like cattle. As for what's for sale over this weekend, I've seen everything from juried fine art to kettle corn to used brassieres offered for sale during this event. I bought a fabulous solid oak, turn-of-the-century kitchen cabinet one year; a console and coffee table made entirely of twigs another one; antique earrings, neck cooler, a maple sugar mold, scuppernongs, hammock, toys, paintings - you name it. On a good holiday we've had 100,000 people on this normally deserted stretch of road. I've had yard sales, volunteered, spent money for every one of the 35+ years it's been going on. It's epic for the wild turkey and deer in the area. People were out today buying, tomorrow will be worse, and it doesn't officially start till Saturday. Alan Jackson and Doug Stone have performed; I met Jimmy Carter, Dan Quayle, Newt Gingrich and more there. The best is all the food from the country churches and BBQ/smoker connoiseurs. May even find a friend for Ninny, Fen.
    Sunny, there's a difference between maintaining perfection and being petrified past damage from anything but a lighted match.



    Have been in contact with Greatful, and she's managing in a bad situation, but I know she appreciates all the concern for her. Let's just give her some time to handle it her way. Good communicating with you, Biz. As I said, ya'll have shown remarkable strength, for a long time. MB, glad you're home. Travel is fun, but home's supposed to be our comfort zone, right?
    Has anyone talked to RC? Not like her to be quiet so long.
    Sorry if I missed you in this. It's 2:30 in the morning, and my mouth is mad at me, so having trouble sleeping. But have no appointments involving national security or my health tomorrow, so I can set my schedule. It's a new day, who knows what wonderful adventures I may have! Hey, Sunny, I got in the first post of the new month (it's an inside joke only I understand). :H ROTFLMBOCICGU (rolling on the floor laughing my butt off cause I can't get up)

      The Journey begins here so get YOUR ASSES IN GEAR!!!! for september

      Well, Happy September to all my dear fellow-journeyers.

      Sunni, so glad to hear you're sounding so much better. You are our sunshine, girl, so keep shining on us!

      ATL, I'm so happy your brain is behaving itself today. Migraines are so debilitating. I used to hate vomiting with the pain, which made my head pound even harder. I wonder if mine were hormone related, as I used to have them about every three or so weeks. I know I had PMS bigtime. My favourite quote, which I read on a T-Shirt, was "I have PMS and a handgun...any questions?"

      Ruby, I'm interested in the relationship between Riboflavin and headaches. I'm going to try an experiment with my own brain, and I'll let you know how it pans out. Also, thanks for the input on the phones. I think I'm going to go for the I-phone next time, although the 3D Samsung (I think) appeals greatly. Cheers and admiration for your new tennant. I left two relationships with absolutely nothing, and know how daunting that can be. However, there's no price you can put on the peace of mind that comes with finding yourself out of a bad situation and, in my case, the Universe rewarded me abundantly. I think I have 'more to my name' than I had when I was pouring all my financial and emotional resources into relationships that were going nowhere.

      Fen, I had to chuckle at your finding the keys in the crisper and the (expensive) cheese in the pantry. Was it Limburger? I doubt it, as that would have been easy enough to locate.

      Mama, you're a brave woman. I can't think of anything worse than being closely confined with 25 other women for any period of time, let alone a few days. :bow

      Rog, it must be so frustrating for you when you can't find stable, secure employment with someone who appreciates your very obvious talents. I admire your tenacity and wish you success in your continued search.

      OK, now for my happy news. Today I completed my dental work on the implant. I am a little disappointed in myself as I had to ask for the offered numbing injections as it was more painful than I'd expected. I've had to take a couple of Neurfen Plus as it's still very sore, and I won't be eating anything that requires chewing tonight. I've taken an "after" photo, as well as a couple of Little Chicken and me after the haircut I had on Tuesday.
      I'm so grateful to Fresh Start Recovery Programme for, not only prescribing Baclofen for me, but also for the $4 200 dental work the WA Government provides for their clients. Sobriety and an implant...who could ask for more?

      The photos show the results of a couple of strong painkillers; I look a bit on the weary side, but the hair looks good.




      Nora, I've PMed you re the Naltrexone I've put in the mail. I hope you get a laugh about my near blunder.

      I think my greatest frustration here is the time difference. Unless I pull an all-nighter, I miss all the action here. Never mind, at least I can stay up to date with you all.

      As always, love and hugs. Attached files [img]/converted_files/1657919=6376-attachment.jpg[/img] [img]/converted_files/1657919=6377-attachment.jpg[/img]

          Now to start my real day. Have been home 20 minutes, 2 phone calls already. Lord give me the strength to bear my blessings.
          Oooh Rubes. That is good. It's when they write insulting stuff there can be a problem!. Mr Rags is a dentist. Those files are legally priveleged so you can look at them on request. Oh, and Mr rags just said he's glad he's not your dentist......... for the medical reasons.

                  Mishy, how BEAUTIFUL you and your choppers are, despite the pain!!! :thumbs: You look like quite the chickie yourself, girl! :k Wish I had someone to help pay for my dental woes. I've spent that much this year out-of-pocket for stuff they're probably gonna pull out now. They act like I've got enough money to burn a wet mule.
                  Yes, Rags, my docs just shake their heads at me, but hey! I'm still packing a good kick despite the ravages of time. Tell your hubby to be careful; I may just come look him up when I run out of dentists here.
                  Poor old Sunny. I believe you meet yourself in the road sometimes, don't you? :nutso:

                    Fenny, where's your shame!? Even the crows turn their heads when they strut through the back yard. Not to mention I'll have to clorox that handrail now.

                    Oh, and as you've probably guessed, I read a lot going through my day, make notes of things, and I really found this one interesting. It's an ancient East Asian proverb - 'Those whom God wants to punish, he sends to Afghanistan'.

                        Awwwh, MB, you know I'm just fishing for favors! Nothing wrong with this girl. Except for a certain bushy-tailed character hanging out, watching my house for any breach in security of the food to get in and wreak diabolical havoc. Don't forget said character and I met face to face one day on my porch and I was seriously in danger of having a rodent run up my pants leg. I saw the evil in her eyes, and knew this was a vendetta. I haven't eaten squirrel in YEARS! :H

                            Yes, comfy doesn't begin to describe it. Satiated!
                            Little Ninny is the sweetest thing. No smell, very quiet, and funny as rip to play with. I've truly enjoyed her, but have to find her a friend (other than Satan).
