Med: I sent feathers, cards, fudge, goatmilk to those I had addresses for. I didn't send Amy goatmilk soap because she already had some. And she only got one large feather because she got a bunch when she was here. LOL TB didn't get any fudge because he said he got the runs from it. Now he's whining because he didn't get any. LOL

Umpire FINALLY made me his chocolate pie. Ironically! I get it on Jethro's birthday. Hmmmmmm It's delicious and so rich. Can't eat too much at one time. Full of Hershey bars, coolwhip and assorted nuts on a crumbly crust.

I'm so glad momma doesn't have cancer. I know that's a great relief for ya'll. I have an appt tomorrow to see my PM doctor.

We lost our little Ethyl too. She was loaded with the yeast disease.

I was pulling a blanket out of the dryer while standing on top of the damned rolled up carpet Jethro has had in front of the dryer and washing machine. When I got to the end of the carpet, the blanket tripped me up. Down I went. As of today I'm finally able to move w/o feeling like someone has beat me up.

Love ya
TOD

(((Med))) - I still have some feathers from ((TOD)) from the last time, but Mots has gotten really fond of the one she sent for Christmas - he's been whacking the hell out of it, had a piece of it hanging from his mouth, but I couldn't get a picture fast enough.

I was trying to get the new thread started and the backup laptop just died. As I was swapping it out for the HP, I realized the cord may have come loose from it and it needs a new battery. I'm not in the mood to see if it wants to come back on, but this one is pretty slow, too. I just hope, between the 2 of them, I can get by until I get my tax refund and student aid to get a new one.

Hugs and prayers,

Amy

I want you guys to know that your prayers WORK..I am doing so much better tonight. I feel like I am through a really tough spot. I am not totally filled with self loathing and WANT to take care of myself! I treat myself in a way I would never treat another sick person...and I believe with every ounce of me that addiction is a fatal disease. Feeling kind of LUCKY and grateful that I actually CAN get clean again. I DON"T have to be prefect. People are still gonna love me till I can love myself...so you see all your care prayers and support WORK. THIS works as a tool for people to get through painful feelings and emotions that we go through in recovery from drugs and drink..they are both the same for me!

So....this fudge is a absloute confectionary delight! And yes I would LOVE the priveledge of gettin mom a spoon! Give me a minute to round up a good one!
I actually made myself DINNER tonight..yes I turned on te stove and everything just like a real person!!! Like I said I have not been taking very good care of myself at all...swallowing PILLES does not qualify as a meal! I was killin my damb A$$ED self people! Thank god I am not today...it really DOES get better...I don;t know why I feel better but not going to question it!!

I wrote this poem two years ago in the dead of winter. Thought I would share it and hope maybe you guys get back a little bit of the joy that you give me. It is kinda sappy but it is from the heart..my alaskan heart!

"Alaskan Heart"
What is it about the Northland that makes me want to stay?
In 20 below..surely I know..there's a warmer place to play.
The darkness of December seems to just fit me like a glove.
Warm waves are splashing somewhere yet , this frozen land I love.
When cabin fever comes to call..why do I stay around?
Why don't I pack and not look back, on tundras frozen ground?

It seems the Northern Lights know secrets and they whisper in my ear,
Majestic Mountains looming speak "Be silent do not fear."
And in my mind I clearly see the sourdoughs of old...cold and pale
break the trail in their quest for gold.


Love ya all
thank you
norty

I bet you were going at one of those Kamasutra poses and blasted out your back... yeah rolled carpet my butt. lol I got a kink in my back once from that and I blamed it on a falling xmas tree back several years ago. What else do you say at work when people see you hunchbacked up???? It's okay we love you even if you swing from the trees and play Jane and Tarzan. Hmm new name for Jethro? lol naw, I like Jethro.

I can see Motts with feathers dangling from his mouth. No need for a real pic, I can picture it.

I'd go to good will to find a new computer but my luck it would have kiddy porn on it or something like that so maybe I can get a refurbished one. I love the mac and it never gave any warning it was on the blink it just coughed and that was it. I spent 1500 on this back in the day and when I get back to work I'll see if they can get it up and running, it won't take the repair installation disc so maybe they can do something I can't figure out. We are a sad lot with computer problems, Lenina's keyboard etc maybe we can get some buckets and rope and yell through it!

(((Norty))) - Really glad to see you feeling better, and loved the poem!

(((Med))) - It's going to have to be some LONG rope/string between the buckets since we all live so far apart!

I must have gotten cat hair in my eyes, or just had a brief allergy attack with Mots in my face, as my eyes are all itchy and I have the sniffles. I used to be really allergic to cats, now it's just once in a blue moon.

This laptop screen is a bit smaller than the other one, can't find the reading glasses, so there's no telling what I'm typing..sheez!

Hugs and prayers,

Amy

Yeh it would have to be long wire. silly me.
I sent Norty a pm as we posted at the same time and I've been through that hell a few times.

It's hard to stay sober some days when all you want to do is escape. I've prayed quite a bit and I don't think that addiction is a spirtual or moral problem, it is a brain chemistry problem. And I vividly remember praying heavily about what to do and then making a decision to go to rehab and some twit counselor there asking me about my relationship with GOD. I do not believe that mainstream medicine or therapy has figured it out yet and the right treatment for it because it's the way we managed to hardwire our dopamine receptors on this stuff. I have stayed away from this junk and I'm here to say that within 2 days of being on pain pills I was tolerant again. Like I'd never ever stopped taking them. And still spirtual. YOu rock Norty and don't beat yourself up, it's brain chemistry.

Here ya go Med: Post from 22 Dec! No pun intended. It really did happen just that way.

Now for the doozy! Jethro had brought a large rolled up carpet into the laundry room a few weeks ago. I've had to stand on it to do the laundry. I didn't want to complain about it being in the way, because I wanted him to get it down in the room it was intended for. But alas! This evening when I pulled a large blanket out of the dryer to take to the spare bedroom? I got tripped up on the end of the blanket and the end of the carpet. So picture a 205 pd woman crashing to the floor on one knee and one hand. I have a whopper of a bruise on my wrist and a large skinned up spot on my knee. I was sitting on the floor hollering owwww with Jethro standing at the sink washing dishes. He came running in there to check on me. I told him I was okay and he helped me up. I put a bandaid on the knee and will probably be sore as hell tomorrow.

Had a coyote in the back field this evening. Jethro took a shot at, but we don't know if it was hit. Something attacked one of our big girls Christmas Eve.

TB: Don't know if he was talking about Elvis the cat or Elvis the performer. Only he can answer that question for us! Also! When Munckin was alive. (She's the one the raccoon killed) She wouldn't stop eating the plastic we used for the pens covering. Come to find out! It was made with corn syrup. LOL

Mom and both sisters called Jethro this afternoon and sang him Happy Birthday together. They were all out shopping together. I'm not a shopper like they are. So I'm usually not told about their outings. Doesn't bother me one little bit. Let them have their girlie shopping fun. Besides! I'm a daddy's girl remember? I was always out running around with dad while the two sisters were holed up in the house with mom. Doing GIRLIE things. LOL But who did they call to come kill a snake when dad was gone? ME! I sent gravel flying all the way over the barn roof onto the carport of the house. But the snake was dead. That's what happens when you use a shotgun.

Norty: Glad to know you are magically feeling better! Miracles do happen with that wonderful fudge doesn't it? Oh yeah! Keep that blooming snow over there with yourself.

TOD I really really believed you the first time. You've not had anybody jazz on you here in a while I bet. lol I'm BACK>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Just when you were missing on me I bet. lol I do love you.

I do do do hope you get to feeling better. Have you tried deep heat? Massage? One of the counselors who was nice told us he would get acupuncture for his back and it the pain was relieved. I imagined him porcupined up but it was only one small tiny tiny needle in his earlobe. Unfortunately insurance doesn't go in for that but it could help if this doesn't heal up.

sad face I am here ( my daughter talks in emoticons) so I borrowed one of her sayings. It's been a tough year on us and my sense of humor has been thrown under the bus and I finally found it and one of my flaws in life is it comes out inappropriately, I always manage to step on toes I don't mean to by sticking my foot down my craw.

Dang! I just typed out a whole long post and the door slammed shut on me!! boo hiss!

I don't have the energy to try write it all out again but will try to get the highlights in:

TB, I love the Hen House shingle! Is there a way to post it on the thread title? did you make it? And I think everyone here will agree with me that we appoint you the Official Chaplin of the Hen House. you do some good prayers! And heaven knows, we all need prayers!

JayBird, I hope you get Darby all settled in and can enjoy your visit with Ken, Cindy and our darling KirbyKitten. sorry about the roomie problems. I've had those too. Hope you can stay peaceful until the lease is up. are you looking for a new pad?

Med, so very happy to see you with the good news about your mom. I must comment on your fever dreams...Obese angels? LOL. I don't know what those meds were but dang. LOL When I had my tooth pulled, I think they used something else. I was out for about 20 minutes but felt fine for the ride home. so sorry to hear about the loss of your last fuzzie one. We still miss our OG so much. the FuzzyB seems to be feeling better finally. Oh, one last thing: Ellie Mae and Jethro studying on the Kama Sutra?? I nearly fell off the bed with that image! you are not right, my sister! LOL

TOD, so glad you're feeling better. tell the truth...was it really the Kama Sutra? you can tell us. LOL I have some honey silk dusting powder from Kama Sutra that has a feather duster with it so you can see why this all sounds very suspicious to me. Very Suspicious.

Norty, I am so glad to see your post today! Yes, you are miracle! Never forget that ok? you are an important member in this house! Please know you're always in my thoughts. and I loved the poem.

Chicory, you are so very artistically talented! And have such a sweet nature! I'm so happy you're here with us! I do love your kitties too!

Amy, Good job on getting some of the fudge stashed for yourself! we all seem to be having aggravations with the computers, huh? Hubs got me one of those Bluetooth keyboards for Christmas but I'm not getting the hang of it either. dang, I guess I just need me one of those good old Selectrics! I loved that thing! you know, I can see that old meatball Mots with feathers hanging off his mouth! LOL

I had a full, busy, expensive day. got the car smogged and registration seen to. Now I have to see to the fix it ticket. I would have got it done sooner but didn't have the money. I'll save you all my rant on the expense of being poor and all. I am sure we all know how that goes.

did I mention I hate auto correct? well, I do.

Much love to you all! and a shout out to 40T and windy san.

(((Med))) - I'm pretty sure you didn't step on ((TOD's)) toes - I've "seen" her ticked, and it wasn't any of us!

(((Lenina))) - my mom LOVED her selectric! She died before everyone had a computer, and she wanted no part of having one! She also didn't like call-waiting, said if she was talking to someone, the other person could just call back! I totally hear you on the autocorrect, and other than when I'm typing stuff in Word, glad my computer doesn't have it!

Going to try to get some sleep - sweet dreams to everyone!

Hugs and prayers,

Amy

Lenina.......... they gave me horse tranquilizer... you can hear them whispering.... " yep, she's a druggie, better get out the hard stuff, cause it won't be pretty" But although I was completely batsh*t the angels were nice to really get to know, they were fairly regular type guys and I still believe they were in the backseat the whole time. The intellectual side of myself says.. yeah it was a hallucination but seriously if I was going to dream up an angel I'd pick some hunky hunk or something with halos and wings or you know... but what I saw sure wasn't anything like I imagined so it had to be real!

I have no idea what car smogging is? Is this like getting your windows tinted? Fumigated? I'm perplexed totally but sounds like a cool thing to do. Something celebrities would do for sure.
Glad the fuzzyone is a happier camper. I picked up this book tonight I found in the free bin at the book store called "Charles" and it's a story about a Siamese cat and his relationship with his owner and it's real, written in 1952, this cat died in 1942 so this thing was finally published and I found this old copy. It's sweet and precious and reminds of the book about the library cat Dewey. I can't read it right now but I will down the road. Mom's cat Max sounds quite like a Siamese and he's exotic with his slanted blue eyes. He's also lithe and wiry. I love on him all the time. He is the first cat I've ever met that can't tolerate beef. Everytime he gets it he goes out and eats grass and chucks it.
I doubt very much you are Lenina double wide. Hubby bought me a night gown that I can't fit one boob into and I'm thinking what was HE thinking? My resolution for this year is to shed about 1/3 of myself. I will get into that dang nightgown. I've missed you.

(((med))). Here in California, when you have an old car, you have to get it checked for smog emissions every other year. my car is 18 years old so before I could renew the registration, I had to take the car to a mechanic. If you don't pass, you have to make repairs until it does. I was sure I'd need to make repairs. So, I kept putting it off as I didn't have the $$.

I was so shocked it passed I just to go straight to the DVM. Just in case. LOL Plus, I got a fix it ticket in the dang old parking lot so that needs to be take care of too. On the good side, three mechanics offered to buy the car! It's in good shape, low mileage and was only driven by a little old lady from Pasadena on Sundays. Let's not mention a lead-footed Daddio drives it the other six days!

I missed you too. glad you're back and hope you get some MAC love!


Oh, and I am huge. The weight just keeps piling on. Ive got a New Years Eve party to attend and only one thing I might, might! Be able to make work. a black lace elastic waist skirt and a silvery cowl neck over sized top. I think my doctor is right. Something else is going on. Menopause, no smoking, dead thyroid can't account for this weight gain.

I'm going to try and sleep. Hope to see you tomorrow!

Much love!

Lenina

Med: Take your head and face a pillow. Start beating your head against the pillow and say to yourself while you are doing this. TOD was wanting me to laugh at that statement. She wasn't mad or upset with what I said to her. She knows I'm a half coc$ked goof ball that talks to FAT ANGELS in the backseat of cars while I huddle in the floor board.

When have I EVER been mad at you? Huh! Huh! Huh! Please tell me when? YOU WILL BE THE FIRST ONE TO KNOW IF IT HAPPENS! Sheeeeeesssssssshhhhhhhhh

Lenina: COPY AND PASTE before posting. It's a MUST! You'll never lose another post. This is the goofiest site I have to deal with. I just don't trust it when it comes to posting. Hell it posted twice on me last page after a long wait. Car smogging is where they check for emissions test isn't it? I had one done while in WI and ended up putting a whole new engine in my car. So don't tell me about expenses! And for the Kama Sutra? No clue what the hell that is. But it must be a dandy from the fact you almost fell off the bed.

Med: Horse Tranqulizer! No wonder you were in La La land. Are you sure you want to go back to this dentist?

Amy: Dad and Stepmom should have known better on the fudge department. The envelope was addressed to Amy. Not Amy and family. Now THAT Med would have ticked me off. You should have put YOUR name all over it.

Facebook! Dog the Bounty Hunter was looking for this guy. They didn't have a picture of him. So this friend that they ditched told them to look on FB. Picture, address, email address, ect. was all on there. Some people are so smart. And Beth read a post about the guys GF cleaning house on Monday. They caught him on Wednesday at their place. The apartment was a pigsty. Beth threatened to call Social Services on her. She had a baby and toddler in there.

Love ya'll
TOD

Lenina, I lived in GA once upon a time and you'd think I would remember it, as they tested our car there for emissions and dang them also did state income taxes, what rot! It seemed like more of a tire check but you know it was in the 80's so that was so last century. The state I live in doesn't care what you do, your license could be stolen plates, just don't drive thru those camera intersections!!!!!!!! Think old men on tractors in the middle of the road driving top speed of 15 mph. lol Then I lived in Florida and yeah had a black car and we had to get tinted windows so we did look like gangsters riding around but it was a must there, otherwise you boil or broil. But love that word smogging. Sounds like you're smoking fog.

TOD, I know I know but you sounded mad. Look up ancient Chinese love positions and you got the essence of Kamasutra. I do have the book btw. It has no words just pretty pictures.
Tell Jedthro happy Bd. Feathers now, Lenina is onto something I never thought of hmmmm.

(((MED)))! I am so glad you are back, and that your mom does not have cancer. you know there were many prayers said for her and for you too. She is no doubt getting the best of care!
And I believe you about the angels. I remember that you dream stuff, and figure that you can see angels too.
is that stuff dentist gave you horse tranquilizer? good gosh, that seems insulting. sounds dangerous.
have you ever googled "girl and unicorns after getting teeth pulled"? it is pretty funny.

i sure missed you. i was reading all these posts this morning, and you guys all have such a comraderie, commeraderie , commraderie , commeraderie , he!! I would do better with autocorrect here. you have a wonderfully fun interaction, does that work? and you had me laughing out loud this morning, and it is sooooo good to see you all here.
i am sorry about Honey. I am sure the big angels are taking care of him for you. tell daughter i am sorry. they dont live long lives, but he had a happy life with you guys. probably the best ever that a hamster could have.
love you, missed you.

(((Norty))) i am happy to hear you sound ing better, and hopeful. which you should. that chemistry will get worked out, and you will be better and better. just love yourself as others love you, we love you. and i know we are all praying and sending warm love across the miles, and it doesnt get chilled going across those mountains,either!
what a lovely poem , Belle! you have a talent. and maybe you could write poetry. i could see alaska when i read it please, keep posting, it is so good to have you here. take care of you like you want us to take care of ourselves. i hope today is a good day, that you feel even better. i remember you in prayer,through the day. love you.

(((Lenina))) are you drinking diet cola? it puts weight on me. research it, and you will find many think that too. select all and copy, that is my routine. i have an old computer i paid about 300 bucks for when i signed up with aol. it has worked so far, about 8 years now. you watch, i will probably not be able to s tart it tonight.haha.
i know you miss og. she is still there, reminding you of her. no doubt. sweet girl.
you go girl, on getting into that dress for new years. sounds pretty. lace , wow, i wish i was girly enough to do lace. i am more blue jean girl, i guess. not that i would wear a jean skirt, but you know. just not dressy girl here. i used to be when i was lithe and youthfully skinned. haha

love you all. i have been getting to work a few minutes late this last year, due to being on here too long in the morning. gonna have to stop that!

love you all, have a beautiful day. and thanks for the good news, the laughter and the support.
later,
loveyaall,
chicory
