Have you already had the cataract surgeries? Mine aren't bad enough for that yet, but SIL just had her eyes done. One did really well, the other one not so much.

Had mine done over eight years ago, month apart. I wouldn't hesitate to have 'em done again if da need arises!

I was hoping Iffy would, but no such luck!

Hey, I had all da fixings fer my Blackberry ginger ale/vodka coolers and woulda been glad to share! If ya see me duck down to da right, dat's da GA and vodka. When I dip to da left, it's fer da blackberry flav. Yepper, I still like to rock n' roll; but lately it's more like duck, dip n' sip...

Wish I had Iffy's dancing Snoopy; he'd be scampering across the page right now!

Well, I have plenty and, with your great news, dis is a great time fer at least one of 'em...

I'm so excited! It looks like a 3 bedroom apartment will be coming available in 6 to 8 weeks. Lots of space. Downstairs. Washer/Dryer connections.

And, finally my own bedroom!

Moving expenses should be very low. The apartment is in the next building over.
Awesome news, Dancing! We'll keep fingers and toes crossed!

OMG, ya just reminded me of an incident at Da Nang AB, RVN. Toward da end of my tour, hot dang, a Vietnamese laundry was opened at one end of Camp Da Nang (USAF side).

Bundled up my fatigues and hustled down dere. "Wash and very light starch, please". Three hours later, picked up my 'package' and was impressed with their work and prices!

Reported to work da next morn as da 'sharpest' A2C (airman second class) 'in country'. While changing out an F4 radar threat scope on da flightline, sweating in da relentless heat, I noticed an unpleasant odor. Checked 'round the cockpit and found nuttin' suspicious. As I walked back to my shop, dat odor seemed to follow me.

Well, come to find out, da laundry used fish bone meal as their 'starch'. Heat, sweat and 'activated' FBM equals...

So much fer starch stench...
LMAO you Air Force guys are too much. Just Kidding. My Son in Law is in the AF planning to reup next year and taking his E-5 test next month.

Well I missed the big chat party, but I did yack with Deb for awhile before the big kick off. Then ate a big dinner got sleepy and fell victim, to the sleepies. The gravitational pull of a pillow rivals that of a black hole. Hey it's not like I'll never get to hang with everyone sooner or later. I've also pretty much given up on adding a provari banner too my sig. everything I've tried has failed. Such is life in the non-tecky world. I even had a hard time posting pic's of paintball stuff I'm trying to get rid of. And I used to do that as easy as breathing. Go figure? I'm almost on the verge of archiving all that I have left and waiting a few years and having an antique sale.
Try finding an SX banner.

I just discovered that the "10 chars" requirement is no more. Woo hoo! And more "Woo Hoo": still in remission! Start up chemo again in 2 weeks. I'm so grateful. Wish I had Iffy's dancing Snoopy; he'd be scampering across the page right now!

Good news indeed!

And more good news.

I didn't get a whole lot of tips.
I have never in my entire life tipped less than 20%. But I am beginning to understand that I'm the exception, I have had a lot of friends that were waitresses and have always understood how it works.

Hey! That's my area! Let me know when you come, maybe we can have a coffee or something! (yes, I'm still catching up from last weekend + one night hanging out. Don't judge me!)

Cool, I will keep that in mind the next time we are heading that way.

Used to love to go bowling! Really miss it now that I can't.

Have you already had the cataract surgeries? Mine aren't bad enough for that yet, but SIL just had her eyes done. One did really well, the other one not so much.

hehehe I get so tickled that so many get a kick out of my name. You're just too cute!!

I miss bowling sometimes - had to give it up about the time I was finally getting the hang of it.

Had my first surgery last week.

As long as I do not end of getting kicked it is all good...

And more "Woo Hoo": still in remission! Start up chemo again in 2 weeks.

That is fantastic news - prayers to help it continue.

Had mine done over eight years ago, month apart. I wouldn't hesitate to have 'em done again if da need arises!

Yea, the first one is great - if the second one comes out this good - I will have the eyes of a teenager again.
