Oh Dots...with the breathe you can singly put the little bottle under you nose and breath in...you can also put a drop under your nose.
I actually have an applicator which is almost like an inhaler.. It opens up my sinus almost instantly :h:l

Morning loves. Good job checking in Kradle. Why don't you like the school?

Good morning!

Sorry you're feeling poorly nora, hope you'll be feeling better soon. :l

That's a bugger about the hot tub dotts...

Looking forward to seeing the ice bucket video mama. I hope someone nominates your boss!

That sounds fairly positive about the condo-hunting fenny. It's a shame about the other offer, but hopefully you will eventually end up with something you'll both be happy with.

Good going on the not drinking kradle. :goodjob: Sorry about your car, is it fixable?

No rain today and the soil is moist, so I should go and pull up some weeds.

Happy hump day, folks!

Reccie, you were experiencing drought in your area, weren't you? I am so happy you can get out and pull up some weeds! It's impossible when the soil is so dry.

Kradle, what is up with the new school? Isn't it early days?


Mama, your boss sounds bi-polar. Have you given any thought to the 30k more job?

Dottie, hubs sounds a little like my dad...he fancied himself to be somewhat "handy", but in truth, he hastened the demise of several family cars and small motor appliances.

K9, I'm glad you are not getting into the waitressing business at work- they'll always expect it if you do! :l

Nora, I hope you feel better soon. :h

Had a nightmare last night. I dreamed I was driving a motorcycle down the highway, when some idiot in a black pick up truck ran me off the road. On purpose. The next thing I knew, a nurse was trying to insert a naso/gastric tube. I woke up, congested, LOL. We had the ceiling fans going, trying to cool down the top floor and it stirred up a bunch of dust, I guess. Funny how that sort of thing makes it's way into one's dreams.

Going to take my mom some food and out to the mall for her walking work-out. Then, I am going with our realtor to view a home two blocks up the street from us to find out why they might be asking for 100,000 $ more than we plan to. The house has 200 more sq. feet, plus a new kitchen remodel with granite counters, plus they have central air.

We have a miniscule kitchen with home depot "tuff stuff" type counters, lol. However...we have insulated the house, redone the wiring, have a newer roof and an immaculate, partially finished basement. Oh, and a two car garage. The other place (like most in my old, urban neighborhood) has no garage. Suffice it to say, our realtor is astonished at their asking price of 475,000.

Then, back home to try to tidy up and downsize on stuff in the house to make it better for viewing.

I will check back later. :h

Popping in to say "hello' as I really like the people on this thread.:h

Mama, if your boss asks you where your canoe is, just pop a Chevy Chase (from National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation) and say, "Bend over and I'll show ya!!!!" :H:H

Fennel....we don't know each other but I think of you A LOT. I know you've vacationed in the Antioch, IL area, and I travel through Antioch at least once per week on my way to meet with clients. Ugh...what a nasty town....loaded with dive bars, and oh, my favorite one (not!) is "Check Into Rehab...the Bar." Yeah, that's what the bar is named. I bet there are a lot of winners who hang out in that place. Another NOT.

Big hellos to everyone else. Back to paperwork. Blah, blah, blah.

Rusty, I don't know how I missed this!

I wasn't exactly "vacationing" in Antioch...it's the site of the new lake home of Mrs. Fen's party animal brother! He selected the perfect place, LOL. Anyway, we were there on the fourth of July, but never again, at least for me.

Anyway, it's so nice to see you.

Pauly, I often wake up ravenous, around three or four in the morning. Sometimes, I get up and grab something to eat, but mostly I suffer it out until I fall back asleep.

Morning all ... feeling very bummed today - hubs and I went out to eat last night and I drank. Then had more when I got home. I woke at 3.00 and could not get back to sleep - WHY do I do it ????? I was on a roll - I was feeling so good - I didn't even think about the 30 minute thing ...... DANG !!!!

Just walked the dog and it is really steamy already. Wish the heat would go away.

had a list a mile long to do today and now am feeling so blah about doing it all .....

Hugs Sun XX

Hi Everyone!

Sorry about not responding to your text yesterday Mama, I guess I was distracted and then forgot...old age is setting in, but I hope you will still marry me anyway! :h

Sunni - Sorry about last night, I know the feeling. I am TTFP today at Noon. I know I said that a few days ago but I really am today. I'm just done. I need to get my life back in order. My finances are a MESS (creditors call me ALL DAY LONG), my house is in shambles (maybe that's a bit dramatic, but you know...), and lets not even get started on this gut I am growing (I have to unbutton my pants at work...LOL). So IT'S TIME to end the madness. Let's do this together ok Sunni? :l

Tomorrow we are having a huge potluck for the lady I replaced. Last night I made my "famous" spinach/artichoke/garlic/cream cheese dip....and then I made cream cheese baked spaghetti...anyone seeing a theme here? CREAM CHEESE! LOL No wonder I have to unbutton my pants. HA

So here's my latest delimma. This guy I went to high school with has apparently been in love with me for the last 20 years, and the last few nights we've been talking on the phone, but I think on my part it was the AL talking so now I don't know how to let him down again! Remind me again to TTFP today please. LOL

Ok, guess that's it for now...I know I have a lot to catch up on, like cars growing hair out their butts and Pauly eating dinner at 3pm with the geriatric folks. LOL

Hi Kradle, Fenny, Zenny, Reccy, Nora, SnottieDottie and everyone else I missed....love you guys! :h

Back later!

Loved the ice bucket video beloved mrs bear! Well done to all of you. :goodjob:

Yep, we went through a dry spell fenny. It's perfect gardening weather today and I have finally learnt how important it is to take maximum advantage of such days.

That was an interesting dream you had. You wonder at what stage the dust began to influence the dream. There was a guy I used to work with who would sometimes be on call overnight and when a call came in he would often incorporate the phone ringing into his dream and not wake up.

Have the workmen finished what they have to do on your house yet?

Sorry about the apathy pauly, I hope you can work your way through it.

And sorry about the drinking sunny. If only there was a way you could TTFP without the damned side-effects. Do have normally have something to line your stomach before taking the pill?

Cream cheese is definitely not good for the figure niner. I went through a phase of cooking a lot with cream cheese a couple of years ago and really piled on the pounds as a result, so the cheese had to go. Regarding your dilema, the only thing I can think of is to tell the guy the truth (tactfully, of course). Would that be so bad?
