**************************
Hi. My name is Chad and I'm the son of SacBarb.
On June 11, I had to have a quadruple bypass at the age of 37. My mom posted about it here on the blog and many, many people said that they would keep me in their thoughts and prayers. Some even posted on my personal blog documenting my journey through this. I Just wanted to say a big "Thank You" to the Night Owl community. I've never felt so "loved" by people that I've never met.
My healing is going slow but good. Every day is a baby step (or 7) toward a total recovery. There have been a couple of setbacks but they were both relatively minor. I'm told I should make a 100% recovery.
Thanks again to everyone for helping both me and my mother through this very difficult time. I don't think she'd have made it through all this as well as she has without all the love and support from her friends here.
One last thing...
Thanks mom for dropping out of your life at the drop of a hat to take care of the "black sheep". No words can explain how much this has helped and meant to me to have you here. There will never be words to explain my feelings for you. I may have been looking for Dad but I'm glad I came back to you. I love you.

ReplyDeleteHappy monday!!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning..
I turn my back to put on my shoes and the blog posts!! LOL..
Tina - congrats on FIRST!!! (again)
:-)
I'm off to read the blog..
I hope everyone has an excellent day!!
:-)
Chad - I knew I shouldn't have read that until I got back from the dog park..
ReplyDeleteYou have brought tears to my eyes (again)..... you have such a way with words.....
I love your mom with all my heart and I'm just thankful that we were all here for her and for you!!
You and your mom are in my constant thoughts and prayers!!
SacBarb- your son is AMAZING!!!
:-)
okay - need to find a kleenex and get going.......
ReplyDeletethe diggers will be here around 7
Morning Glories!
ReplyDeleteChad it takes so little for all of us to keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Your Mom is the special one as you put it, by dropping her life to take care of you right now. Mom's are the best.
You made me teary eyed with your thoughts. What a good son to let your Mom know that you love and appreciate her. You are one lucky guy!
PS I will tell you a little secret. Most Mom's have a special soft spot for their black sheep children. BUT don't tell my kids I said that!
Thinking about both of you today.
Oh, Chad thank you so much for the blog. Your mom is very special and she also makes really cool cards. :)
ReplyDeleteChad you are on an overwhelming journey right now and I'm glad your mom is there for you.
Morning Tina! When are the hubby and kids getting back so I can attempt to get first again? :)
ReplyDeleteHi MEK!
Good Morning Everyone!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrat's on 1st, Tina!!
Mek, pass the kleenex, please. ;o)
Chad, Thank's for letting your letter be shared with all of us. It brought tear's to my eye's and I'm sure to your Moms. I'm so glad your setback's were not too serious.
Barb, you and Chad have been in my prayer's the whole time. You are a special lady and Chad sound's pretty special too!
xoxoxoxo to you both♥♥♥♥
Good morning friends!
ReplyDeleteTina you are looking lovely as ever!
MEK have fun digging or watching people dig.
Lynn, how is your hangover?
Waving at Iteach! I am so proud of you this morning after reading area 51. Thank you for calling the police for that poor person.
ReplyDeleteoops Birdie flew right by me! Have a good day to you too!
ReplyDeleteOh man Birdee popped in too! Morning Birdee!
ReplyDeleteFor a second I thought you said Birdie pooped in too. LOL
ReplyDeleteIteach I thought about it! LOL
ReplyDeleteiteach, glad you called 911 for that woman!
ReplyDeleteI did the same thing a few year's ago. A teenage girl walked into my neighborhood, fleeing her boyfriend.
I heard the screaming, as did other's. I walked down the street to check it out and told a neighbor to call 911 cuz I knew he would not let her go. Been down that road and wasn't about to ignore it. After the police came, the Mr. and I drove the girl home. Found out she was pregnant. I don't know how she is doing today, I can only hope she did not go back to him. But, I know the cycle, so she probably did.
LOL, Lynn and iteach!! Now if you ask Carol which one I did...she will most def say I Pooped in!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I would like to Thank everyone for their 4th of july comment's! I tried to send/reply to everyone, but failed...sorry ;o(
ReplyDeleteI've kinda had rough week. I have this stupid condition of the bladder, called innerstial(sp) cystitis. It's been dormant for a few year's, but, decided to act up!
It's very painful and render's me useless. I'm hoping by the end of this week all pain will be gone.
It's nothing compared to what Chad and other's are dealing with, but...I just wanted you to know, I was MIA because of that......
Chad..
ReplyDeleteThank you ever so much for sending your words to me and giving me permission to post your words as a daily blog..
I am glad your mom is with you as you recovery.
Time and patience is all you need.
Continued Success in your recuperation..
New pics of Zona on the main page of the blog wearing the traveling necklace, She looks like she is having so much fun, or maybe its Mr Zona that is having so much fun??
ReplyDeleteEnjoy them as I did!!
Zona, thanks for sending them off to me!
Hello to all.. I am in a rush.. I will try to stop back in a bit..
ReplyDeleteHave a good day!
Tina..
What the heck happen to you????
happy dance!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm back from the dog park..
ReplyDeletethe "diggers" are here - they have quite the production going on - one guy digs, the other guy drives back and forth with the dirt to the dump truck out front and the other guy is standing at the edge of the hole with a measuring stick!
I want HIS job!!! LOL...
anyway - I came home to supervise - cuz I am SOOOOOOo good at that!! Tug wants to be out back SO badly..
Lynn - I can't believe you spill the "secret"!! LOL
ReplyDeleteIteach - good for you - calling 911.
Birdee - passing the box to you - I had to get a new one... so there are plenty to go around..
Birdee - also hope you are feeling better.....
cpgem - don't rush too much..
gotta go look at Zona's pics also!!
waving howdy to all....... gotta go watch -
Zona - you have out done yourself with those pictures!!!
ReplyDeleteI literally laughed out loud...
thanks for sharing...
:-)
Chad and SacBarb...I've started the day being reminded that life is precious and that we need to take care of each other! Thank you for a beautiful reminder, Chad! Wishing you all the good health and good healing that you need! Continued payers for you both!
ReplyDeleteiteach - re: area 51...well done!
MEK - glad your hole is so enjoyable! Have fun observing it today!
Zona...what a BOOB I am....I almost forgot to mention your pics! A well done and a woot woot to you!!! Great pics!!
Running off to my summer job! See you later!
Good morning!
ReplyDeleteChad, I'm so glad to read that you are doing better.
I've met your mom, and can say she is a wonderful, thoughtful, caring person.
Thank you for writing the blog, I got teary eyed also.
Love the pics of the necklace Zona! And love the pic of Nikki, I remember that I got the necklace in time to take a picture of Paula wearing it. So sweet!
Congrats to Tina again!
MEK it is exciting to supervise, I did a lot of that too. I always wondered if they got sick of me being out back taking pictures!
Iteach you did the right thing, you may have saved her life.
Gotta have some cawfee, I'll be back!
Wow. What a neat family SacBarb has. I want one like that! I think SacBarb is a special lady who raised a special son. Kudos to her.
ReplyDeleteTina. What happened to Eunice? Did she forget to throw the firecracker after she lit it?
Have a great Monday, Hooters!
MEK, I've been MIA for a wee time, so maybe I just haven't caught up.
ReplyDeleteWhy are there diggers, and what are you doing spying on them?
OMG I just spit my coffee all over! Zona not only are you showing cleavage but we have to see your foreplay practices to boot!
ReplyDeletePS I think Nikki looks so regal and elegant!
MEK when is the pool party???? I would watch the guy doing the measuring like a hawk, Just sayin. They are notorious for over estimating anything with inches.
Morning Vig and Bonacci, Carol and EBJ.
Happy Monday Owls.
ReplyDeleteCarol, Thanks for posting Chad's blog. He was very secretive about what he wrote so I am reading it for the first time with the rest of the Owls.
Chad, I have always said you are the one who marches to a different drummer, but never a black sheep. I love you very much and you know I would do anything for you and your brothers. After all, as you have often said, I let you live when you were a teenager. I am happy to be here with you to make sure you do what the docs tell you to do.
I know you don't usually want people to know how sweet and sappy you can be, but I have known it all the time. ♥♥♥♥♥
Thanks to Tina (congrats on #1), MEK, LynnD, Iteach, Birdee (feel better), VIG, and Bonacci for your kind words.
ReplyDeleteZona, ummmmm, love the necklace pics.
Waving a wing to all who land later. I miss you all.
I have changed my return flight once again and now I will be here in Seattle until August 11th. I am really just putting off cleaning out my craft closet.
ReplyDeleteBon'O, If you're up for a day trip, come on down!
Good Morning All - I am having a late start. I will read the blog and come back.
ReplyDeleteTina, the # 1 hog-ie!
ReplyDeleteYour avatar seems to have drifted into the twilite zone!
Chad, I had the pleasure of meeting your Mom. She is the sweetest lady ever!There is just something about having your Mom with you when times are scary. I will continue my prayers for the both of you.Thanks for writing the blog.
MEK,I hope your hole is going well!
Aw,Birdee, so sorry you are hurting. Don't you dare NOT letting us know how you are! I care about YOU AND all of my nesters no matter what you/they are going through!
I have a very busy day today & VFW Aux. meeting tonight.
I'll peek in and out when I can.
Have a great day everyone!
Chad - What a beautiful blog. Thank you for writing it. You will stay in our prayers as you are part of the Night Owl's family now. We think your mom is very special too.
ReplyDeleteNow that '50' is out of the way I can get back to my "Good Mornings".
ReplyDeleteI had to change my avatar. I was in an Italian kinda mood lol! This was my Italian Stalin from my cruise...sigh!
ReplyDeleteZona, I know that hand from somewhere! ;-)
Good Morning Tina, Mek, Lynn, Iteach, Carol, VIG, SacBarb, Bonacci, East Bay J and Mary. The nest is full this morning.
ReplyDeleteI didn't sleep well last night. I was in area 51 after midnight. Today I feel like doing nothing and that is exactly what I plan on doing.
ReplyDeleteVIG - Where did our sun go? They say it's coming back on Wednesday. I think I will hibernate until then.
Zona - Wow!!!!! Loved your pictures. Looks like you were having a great time. Nicky too.
Here comes the mailman. I must see what he has for me. Be back later.
ReplyDeleteDang, I forgot I was 'sposed to donate blood today and I don't even have my face on!!
ReplyDeleteMary~ I loved the movie "Face Off"~ :D
ReplyDeleteLynnD~ Hubby and the youngest left on their Mexican cruise yesterday and will be gone for a week. The other two kids will be home on Thursday~ :)~
Birdee~ Hope you feel better soon~
Iteach~ ur alright~ :D
Bonacci~ you see...Eunice was holding one of those flower firework thingys~ She was too lazy to bend down and light it..... she had it in her hand......there was plastic on it and when she lit it...the plastic stuck to her finger and there went the flower...spinning in her hand...you should see her nail polish!!!! :)~
Tina Congrats on #1! I see that Eunice still hasn't washed her face, poor thing. She doesn't look pretty today. :(
ReplyDeleteZona Love your necklace pics! They made me smile this morning. And Nikki is soooo darn cute!
Chad Thank you for today's blog. Like everyone else, it brought tears to my eyes. What a lovely way to honor your mom and show your love and gratitude. I'm lucky enough to also have a mom who put her life on hold during my time of need. Thank you for sharing your feelings with all of us. (((HUGS))) to you and your mom.
Top o' the Mornin' Owlies, or Good Afternoon to Carol and all points East!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of 'points' east--of me, at least--nice pics Zona. You and Nikki both look elegantly fabu in your tuxedo black and silver.
(((Birdee))
Chad/SacBarb ►►next post.
Birdee I'm sorry you are hurting. I hope it resolves soon. (((HUGS)))
ReplyDeleteChad, how kind of you to share your thoughts with us 'strangers' so eloquently. Both you and Mom have been on my heart & mind daily.
ReplyDeleteBarb~~As mentioned a while back, had I known before your trip, I'd have been waiting for you at the hospital Day One. Forgive me for smiling to hear you're extending your stay into mid-August(!), because:
this week, both my car and I are going in for overdue tune-ups. Depending on the outcome, I'd LOVE to come up and take you all around my old home turf. Without going into detail here, I'm positively terrified my doc may set me on a path similar to Chad's journey, so we'll see....pray if you choose to....and I'll hope to see you real soon. Til then, much love and good thoughts. ♥♥♥
Awwwww....Chad what a terrific note to your Mom. It's so hard to say those kind of things sometimes. Glad that you could.
ReplyDeleteJust-Lin - Congrats on 69. You are getting good at it.
ReplyDeleteBon'0 - I will be praying that you get good news from the doctor. I know how scary it can be.
ReplyDeleteI must get something accomplished before my nap. I made the resolution yesterday that I would accomplish one thing each day. Yesterday I organized drawers and found things I had been missing for a while. That is the pay off when you get rewarded. Today I feel like doing nothing. So ends my great resolution. Time for a cup of tea.
ReplyDeleteI know there are some ex-smokers on the blog and I could really use any hints that you might have on how you quit.
ReplyDeleteI ended up in the ER not breathing very well so I HAVE to quit. This is day six and I'm really starting to crave. I just ate 5 Reese's Mini Peanut Butter Cups in a row!!! I'm thinking having them in the house may not be the best of plans right now...
After being AWOL all Spring, don't want to be a blog hog here, but...
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tinka dear,
and to Scirish, don't touch those ciggies!!! I started at 21, and quit for the 149th time several months ago. COMMIT lozenges are the first and only thing that worked for me. Came very close to an ER trip just last week, knew I was suffocating (Iteach 'heard' this saga)...never been so scared. Take care, please.
Scrish, smoking is bad for you. Being overweight is also bad for you. I'm told that eating a lot of sugar causes diabetes. I think this is bad for you too. You may be trading one deadly disease for another.
ReplyDeleteI would give deadly diseases a kick in the ass, fly the bird at the tobacco/drug companies, say a big F-U to the politicians who instituted the new tobacco tax and just stop. Revenge and absolution would be my motivation.
scirish Congrats on being on day 6!!!! You have gone through the toughest part. Each day will become a bit easier. Like Bon'O, what worked for me was Commit Lozenges. They gave me a little bit of nicotine to get me through the drug addiction part of it while I also got used to not having the physical ritual of smoking anymore. I found that the drug store brand of lozenges were the exact same thing but considerably cheaper. I quit a little over 3 yrs ago and was diagnosed with asthma shortly afterward. At this point I had already done the damage to my lungs but am grateful that I don't have emphasema which is what they first thought. My lungs have been getting better all the time and I can really tell the difference. Keep at it! You will do it!!! Also, having a nicotine lozenge in your mouth keeps you from putting eating what you don't really need, too. :)
ReplyDeleteBon'O Kudos to you for quitting, too.
I accidentally kept the word "putting" in my previous post when I decided to reword my thought. I was going to say that lozenges keep you from putting things in your mouth that you don't want. That just sounded wrong somehow. LOL
ReplyDeleteScirish, Here is a message from Chad who quit smoking after his first heart attack two years ago. He used Welbutrin and the patch to quit. The Welbutrin will help with the craving/mental part and the patch helps with the physical nicotine addiction. He said he tried to quit 1700 times before and this was the only thing that worked. (side note: Chad tends to exaggerate)
ReplyDeleteThe whole process takes 1-2 months and you don't have to quit cold turkey. With the Welbutrin you taper off smoking over about two weeks. His doctor gave him directions on the process. Good Luck.

ReplyDeleteChad..what a beautiful letter. I've been reading along as you heal and have cheered at every step you've taken forward to a full recovery. You're mom is such a wonderful person, and it's easy to see that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
ReplyDeleteBARB: You know I love you..and my prayers continue for you both.
YES..........happy dance!!!
ReplyDeleteZona - howdy - are you keeping cool....
ReplyDeleteit's already 102 degrees here and the temp keeps climbing and climbing...
bonacci - I am getting a pool in the backyard - hence the hole!!
ReplyDelete:-)
105
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for the comments on the pics..you all made me laugh too! Mr Z can be awfully silly sometimes.
ReplyDeleteTINA: Congrats on FIRST!
BIRDEE: I'm sorry you aren't feeling well..I hate the thought of you hurting. I hope you feel better soon. {{{hugs}}}
TINKA: I hope my pics didn't shock you..lol..right about now you are wondering why you ever thought that it was DI and BEAR that led me astray, aren't you? ;)
MARY: LOL!! You know that hand? Rut-roh.. ;)
JODI: :D
VIG: Please don't work too hard..at your age you have to think about conserving your strength! :D
MEK: Soon you too will have a pool to play in! Don't say NO..you'll see, it'll lure you right in..honest! ;)
BON: Great to see you! Ummm..that's Raider's silver and black..ijs.. ;)
SCIRISH: Hang in there. My mom quit after 50 years..it can be done. {{HUGS}}
J/L: Congrats on 69!
LYNND: Gotta go for the gusto! ;)
EBJ: It's great you got to get pics of Paula in the necklace..great memeories. :)
BOACCI: I want a family like SACBARBs too..
MEK: I just woke up..I guess I'm trying to fool myself into believing that I can just sleep the summer away..not gonna happen. It's supposed to get to 111 today..right now it's 105..
ReplyDeleteCPGEM: You should have seen the behind the scenes of taking those pics..you would have laughed even harder.. ;)
DIANNE: I AM SHY!! I swear...
Oooops...almost forgot..NIKKI thanks you too! :D
ReplyDeleteI also want to wish my little sister a very Happy Birthday. She survived being left up on the roof, getting bounced out the window..and God knows what else, growing up with me. She is my best friend, and I love her. Happy Birthday Sis! :D
Scirishy, 6 days is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI don't have any hints to offer you, when I quit it was cod turkey.
I was a smoker for 11 or 12 years, I quit over 20 years ago. I have had pneumonia twice and bronchitis once in the past 5 years. I worry that I my smoking has come back to haunt me.
When I was in anatomy class years ago, we had a man who had donated his body to science who had died of emphysema.
It looked like someone had poured black tar into his lungs, it was horrible. Thinking of lungs trying to inflate in that condition always came to mind after that.
I wish I would have seen that before I started smoking, it would have been a deterrant, for sure.
I hear a lot of people who come into the clinic say they used the nicotine patches with good success.
Keep up the good work! You can do it!
Chad, hugs to your and your sweet mom.
We are in the 80s today, not normal for July, but a nice break. We had our Arizona temps last week.
Well, low 100s so not quite Arizona temps haha!
Zona are you implying that there might have been PORN involved in the taking of the necklace pics??
ReplyDeleteha ha!
what kind of fish is cod turkey? :)~
ReplyDeleteHey Tina I didn't even catch that, see what happens when one doesn't proof read and spell check lol.
ReplyDeleteBonacci...LOL...I'll try and remember that!
ReplyDeleteSacBarb....Tell Chad "Thank You" for me, he must be the resident expert after 1700 times :)
Bon...Are you all better now? I do know what you mean about scary..
Just Lin...LOL....Good thing you changed the wording...There are a few owls who woulda had waaay too much fun with that sentence.
Mom had a mini meltdown today AND I had to glue her crown back on...Can I tell you how much both those events made me want a cigarette??? Instead, I ate more Reese's, which is ok I guess since I somehow missed Breakfast and Lunch..
Scirish~ Use super glue next time~ :D
ReplyDeletesheesh..I just proofread..left out BONACCI's "N"...sorry 'bout that..it must be the heat..
ReplyDeleteITEACH: I am so sorry I missed you earlier..again..it's gotta be the heat..or I'm just a dork today..take your pick.. ;)
In any case..HI ITEACH! :D
Good evening everyone!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 1st Tina!
Hello to Tina, Mek, Lynn D, Iteach, Birdee, Carol, VIG, EBJ, Bonacci, SacBarb, Tinka, Mary, Just Lin, Bon'O, Scirish, Jodi and Zona!
Chad what a lovely blog! You and your mom have been in my thoughts. I wish you a speedy recovery and congrats on joining the Night Owls! ((((HUGS)))) to you and SacBarb.
ReplyDeleteIteach congrats for calling 911. Takes a lot of guts to get involved.
ReplyDeleteSo Mek let me get this straight...you have three guys working on your hole? One to dig, one to drive and one to meassure. Wow , I sure hope you're happy when they're finished! Lol!
ReplyDeleteEBJ....Ewwwww, thanks for that visual
ReplyDeleteZona...I don't know how you do that heat thing...I was sweating my butt off and it was only 80...Mom doesn't like a/c...sigh...
Is anyone else not getting notified when they have comments on MySpace?? I just looked and I had a ton....
ReplyDeleteEBJ: NO porn..promise..lol..
ReplyDeleteSCIRISH: The a/c actually went out when I was in Denver..it only took about 20m for it to go from 80 to 95 degrees in the house. I don't like the heat, but ya kinda have to accept it if you live here. Plus..there's always the pool! :D
MS doesn't notify me either..they haven't for a long time.
HI SHIRLEY! You look delicious today! :D
Zona, no worries about spelling. Doesn't bother me a bit!
ReplyDeleteScrish, I admire your tenacity for sticking to the program. I've known people who've been through rehab, and they always say the first 2 days are the worst. I assume since nicotine is a drug, it's probably similar. You're over the hump. Cheers to you!
MEK, you're getting a swimming pool? Shirley, make a note: I predict that we'll hear pissin' and moanin' within a year about taking care of it! Really though, they're a pain in the ass, and if I wasn't married to an idiot, I wouldn't have one.
iteach, Shirley's congrats to you regarding your 911 call reminded me... You did a good thing. I imagine this woman needs someone right now to save her from herself. I know that cycle well, and the bastard's probably kissing up to her so he can whack her around some more.
ReplyDeleteScirish I don't think I have any words of wisdom for you when it comes to not smoking. I smoked for 20 years until 1am March 13, 2000. That night I cut up two and a half paks of cigarettes and I haven't bought another one since. I think you just have to find what works for you. I could hear my breathing becoming raspy and I said that's it. Cold turkey worked for me.
ReplyDeleteZona are you hitting on me?
ReplyDeleteHi Everyone: MEK: I think it is very exciting you are getting your own pool. Are you going to be able to use it all year or just certain months? As I mentioned before, I have always wished for one in my own backyard.
ReplyDeleteCHAD: You wrote a very special blog today and I loved the extra message to your mom. I have been following your daily progress and it has been very interesting. Your mom is a special person....except she is a Raider fan...other than that...she is great!!
SCIRISH: You are doing great and keep up the good work. It sounds like you have a good willpower. I wish I did for dieting.
TINA: It's time to get rid of that red and blue and your face looks just plain dirty. Can't you clean up for your owl friends just a little?
ZONA: I am "amazed" by your necklace photos.
DON'T EVER TELL ME YOU ARE SHY AGAIN!!! You surprise me sometimes. I wonder if I show them to MrD if it will give me some ideas for our house? Who knows...he may start digging a pool any minute now!!
BIRDEE AND BONO: I hope you both get better soon. I know the feeling of not being able to breathe and it is very scary. BIRDEE: Maybe you just need to get some of that poop out of you. Why don't you fly around the East coast part of the nest and let em rip?
Attn: K-Mart Shoppers
ReplyDeleteLast nights 911 call has paid off for the moment.
The police our at the house right now. She is packing up everything she can into her truck and the police are making sure he doesn't interfer.
I so hope she doesn't go back to him.
iteach, I'm really interested in how this turns out. She's probably got a TRO against the guy. He'll be charged with domestic violence. Nobody's allowed to tell her that if she drops the TRO, the charges against him will be dropped. It's so important that she stand her ground right now. Either for her own safety or the next woman's.
ReplyDeleteOh, I will keep you posted. I'm one of those neighbors that looks out the window. It drives my husband crazy.
ReplyDeleteZona- Your picture was hiliarious.
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought maybe it was Dianne's hand, because you were just with her. So it took me a full minute to realize it was the Mr.'s hand not Diannes. lol
SHIRLEY: Dang..busted! ;)
ReplyDeleteDIANNE: No, really I AM shy..if you could see my face in the pics, you'd see it was bright red...honest.. ;)
Didn't you love the Raider black and silver theme? :D
ITEACH: Tell your hubby that that's being a good neighbor.. :)
BON'O: I do choose to pray..and I will..kay? :)
ITEACH: LMAO!!!
ReplyDeleteITEACH - lol @ thinking DIANNE was copping the feel!!!
ReplyDeleteBON*BON - Sending healing thoughts and prayers to you my friend!! :O)
ReplyDeleteZona - Your pictures didn't shock me. I thought they were beautiful and artful as are you.
ReplyDeleteAs for Bear and Di, now that's another issue we will discuss later. LOL
(((((Hugs)))))

ReplyDeleteTINKA - Great to see you and your little brown owl. It just makes me smile!! I hope you took some time to rest today. :O)
ReplyDeleteAfternoon owls!
ReplyDeleteScrishy when you find the right combination to quit smoking let me know would you. I could use the help to!
Bon I am saying a prayer and positive vibes for your health. I hope it will all be ok!
MEK Have you gone out and measured that hole yourself??? LOL
Hi Hodi! Miss you everyday!
Dianne what is this, I heard you were copping a feel at Zona's expense? Lord this nest is just running amok!
Waving at Shirley!
Iteach thank you for the update. I take that as a good sign that she is done with the bastard for good! Positive thoughts.
Hey MO where the hell are you???
Birdee I am with Mary on this! I hope you are feeling better very soon!
Good Evening Everyone!!
ReplyDeletejust woke up from a little nap and wanted to come by and visit for a bit.
Bon, I'm hoping all goes well with your Dr. appt. xoxo
Zona, I forgot to tell you...love the booby shot's and the fondling!LOL
In fact all the bobby shot's have been good!
Dianne, the vid of you...very funny. I think the East coast is happy to have a reprieve from me. Can't promise them the same for next week though. LOL
Scirish, Good luck with the no smoking. Wish I had some good way's of stopping to share to share, but, I don't.
I've had problem's with the MS notification's thingy too. Some day's it's letting me know thing's and other day's..not!
iteach, glad to hear the girl is moving out. Hoping she's done with the idiot for good.
Tina, so sorry about Eunice and the firework's..make sure she practice's bending over, so this doesn't happen next year! LOL
J/L congrat's on your wght. loss. You're looking good in that pic you put up.
Thank's for the "feel better" wishes. Very sweet of you all.
I think it's going to be another lazy night for this old bird..relaxing help's ease thing's.
I did manage to get to some laundry, but not very much. In fact, I left some in the dryer and Mr. B folded it for me. I think he want's me to get better so I can get back to cooking his dinner! ;o)
Well, back to the couch for me..hope I can stop in tomorrow.
Have a great evening everyone!
May we all feel good tomorrow!!!

Happy Birthday Zona-Sis & Mr. Mary!
ReplyDeleteHumblest hugs of appreciation to you Tink, Dianne, Zona, Jodi, Lynn, Birdee, VIG. Luv U!
Iteach~~Kudos to you. You wouldn't believe the phone calls and tearful front-window visits I fielded from domestic violence victims when working Corrections, 10% of which were "He's f-ing going to kill me if you guys let him out!", 90% of which were "I want him to come home, I NEED/LOVE him, he didn't DO anything, yada-yada".
ReplyDeleteThe only good news is, at least here, even if the victim drops a Restraining Order (which btw aren't worth the paper they're written on for 'protection'), once filed the charges are in the hands of the D.A./state to pursue.
Tina Congrats on first..
ReplyDeleteCarol: did I beat you over here? haha
Chad: Glad you wrote, your words made me cry. I am glad to hear you are better and that our thoughts and prayers meant something. :)
Scirish~~You've got MS mail :-)
ReplyDelete(Oops, 'preview'ed this at 10:59, then left it hanging while I went to FB to check out the A.I. Tour vids from last night in Portland...WOW!)
Bon'o: Incredible weren't they! OMG...Adam is so good!
ReplyDeleteHey Everyone..
ReplyDeleteOk, so I have news.. I joined facebook.. and have been kinda hanging out over there, just trying to figure things out.. I am really out of the loop, so I guess it will take time..
I did it, I finally did it..
If anyone wants to look me up on facebook.. email me.. and I will give you my facebook name..

Bon'O..
ReplyDeleteHi!!!!!!!!
:O)
Bebbi..
ReplyDeleteYes it seems you did beat me here, I was trying to find my "wall" :O)
^5 Carol!
ReplyDeleteBirdee..
ReplyDeleteSorry you are not feeling well... I am sending you good wishes..
150
ReplyDeleteOMG..
ReplyDeleteI did not log onto to myspace at all 2nite.. I totally forgot.. The "wall" had me going..
aww..delayed reaction on my part..lol..okay..152 to fix it.
ReplyDeleteshesh..154
ReplyDeleteokay all better 155 count back to normal..sorry folks.
ReplyDeleteLOL at "the wall"..too funny. Did you find it? Has facebook got you up against "the wall"? You crack me up!
ReplyDeleteITEACH: Now that is just creepy that you thought it was my hand on ZONA'S boob!!! ewwwwwwww Friendship does have to draw the line somewhere...
ReplyDeleteI have a new computer--a MAC and am having a frustrating time trying to figure out things. I do have the computer geek living with me but I think I am frustrating him. He tries to explain things to me and I feel like I am in second grade the way he tells/shows me. I gave it up about an hour or so ago and went to bed, now I am creeping back in to see if I can even find a site. I want all my old programs back and icons, etc. MRD tells me they are there but in just a different spot grrrr...it has made me grumpy today (among other irritations). I think I will go back to bed and maybe fall asleep early tonight.
I was "going to cook" and got ready to make something and needed a cup of milk but when I went to the refrig there was about a swallow of milk left so we had a nasty rice dish....we now have new milk as of 1/2 hour ago.....see, I told you I am grumpy.
Hope you all have a good night and sweet dreams..
I may be back....
Dianne: Sorry you are having a rough day. LOL at the "friendship has to draw the line somewhere"...too funny. :)
ReplyDeleteHope your day tomorrow is better.
Bebbi..
ReplyDeleteNo, its seems the "wall" is a stumbling block.. I can never find it. when I get a msg that someone left a msg on my "wall" It takes me 10 min to find it.. How hard can it be to find a "wall"..
Dianne..
ReplyDeleteSorry you are having a rough day.. just think if you go to sleep early, tomorrow will come sooner, and all will be well again..
Also.. new things just take some getting used to.. give it time..
:O)
Sorry Dianne! In the back of my I kept thinking pictures will be posted soon with Zona & Dianne with the necklace, because they were just together. So then when I saw the picture, I thought holy buckets isn't Dianne kinda of quiet. Then I read the captions.
ReplyDeleteOh, Dianne, I hope it gets better!
ReplyDeleteCarol..you are killing me! LOLOL.
ReplyDeleteAt the top it says "home, profile, friends, inbox". If you click on "profile" it will take you to your "wall", that will be the first of the tabs at the top that say, "Wall, Info, Photos, boxes" and whatever else you add, like mine says "Lil Green Patch, Hatchlings".
OMG.. Bebbi... I found it.. I found my "wall".. Whew..
ReplyDeleteTY, TY..
:O)
Ok..I am still here. I think I will just try getting up on the other side of the bed tomorrow and see how that works. :)
ReplyDeleteCAROL: I know I will "get this" and I only started with this computer late yesterday but my patience is obviously not one of my virtues.
ITEACH: If you think I am quiet, go back and watch the video again from the other day that TINA posted...I am not too quiet often.

Dianne: Nice to see the 169 perked you up. I am going to bed, I have work in the morning and have stayed up past my curfew already. Goodnight all and sweet dreams.
