Thinking of our Jessel and how she is doing.

Aww yes the chore of peeing---never fun esp in the situations of wearing a wedding dress where another ones help is needed, Ski clothes wearing you will be dribbling just getting through those layers. and finally in the dorothy get-up cause the heels were so high I feel through the floor not expecting the potty to be so low......

Must tell all my medical monitor came to my site today and she brought me a present- gluten free orange cake from Starbucks. I was so excited and it was so good....very moist.

Also went to new building orientation for our new cancer center.....very long 4 hrs....

[nikki-uk]

Mebbe I'm easily amused

No matter! ....Me too!!!.....wish I'd been there.....we'd had a blast!!!!!!!!!

Amanda's wardrobe MALfunctions ...... who remembers 'body suits'????? (like a leotard with poppers 'underneath')

OMGAAAAWD!!!.....yer had to be a contortionist to do them poppers up!!!

[jerseyangel]

Hee! Bodysuits I used to wear 'em--wif the little crotch snaps

Wonder how Jess is doing?

[blueeyedmanda]

I remember when body suits were the rage, I remember the pants with the skirts over them/attached, socks that went on the the leggings and you pushed them down, remember the surf style windbreakers.... high tops with different colored laces, genie pants, shoelaces in your hair, stirrup pants.....all my horrid wardrobes are coming back to haunt me....

and finally in the dorothy get-up cause the heels were so high I feel through the floor not expecting the potty to be so low......

Dear gawd, you has me larphin', Amanda. .. . ......I can just see you in your li'l spectacular Dorothy dress, crashing southward . .. ...

Waitasec! This is MY fashion disaster shortlist, from the eighties. . ......everything you've listed, I was sporting full-force as a teen.....but you were a little kid in the eighties, n'est-ce pas, Amanda? Or did the fashion horror stories come later fer you down there?

JYESS!! Puleeeeze post! How did you make out in your shoon?

[blueeyedmanda]

I was born in 82- so I did sport many of these wonderful rages--I also went through the fad of tying the bottom of your shirt, going crazy wif sequins, limestone jeans, vests, and those wind pants suits....we so named Poof Pants from the noise they made....

then as was a teen here were the fads--the late 90's fads

Hippies came into style again, very baggy pants, the preppy look also started as I was getting out of my teens, but for awhile it was long skirts and jean vests, flare pants, retro t-shirts, flannel shirts

And finally trends the last few years

Baby doll tee's, track pants, those skirts that were so short you could see everything, the same for the shorts, the big bright look came back

[Mtndog]

Hi Ptaum (((((((((WAVING MADLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!))))))))))))))!!!!!!

Must be the California accent I guess. We were always taught farsh-ee-ah and the inflammation as farsh-e-I-tus. Definitely not faaash as in maaash. And the way he said the "eye"!!! sounded more like "oi-ee". Mebbe I'm easily amused

Why is this whole Fascist-itis cracking me up. I think I'm picturing Crocodile Dundee leaning over Shroomie's foot going "what you git here is a case of Planter's Fash-EE-Oy-eye-tis."

:lol: I think I always thought it was fa-s$#&e-is (s$#&e as in might not Shiite as in Muslim)

Oh fa-s$#&e's sake............it must hurt.

If you need someone to make yer shoes I hear Daniel Day Lewis is doing it in Italy;) Now THAT would be wort the trip and $$$$$$

Amanda :lol: This totally cracked me up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I did once leave a restroom at a semi-formal with my dress tucked in me pantyhose (yes, I was drunk!)

MC Hammer pants!!!!!!!!! When I was in high school from 81-85 I wore Fair Isle sweaters with Izods and turtlenecks (the more the better) with corduroys and boat shoes. Then the PAT BENATAR look including plastic dance pants, leg warmers with high heels and a blonde streak in me bi-level hair cut (and a LOT of blue eyeliner Oh and mini skirts (the nuns HATED it!) and gold jewelry.

Hippies came into style again, very baggy pants, the preppy look also started as I was getting out of my teens, but for awhile it was long skirts and jean vests, flare pants, retro t-shirts, flannel shirts

Oh how I loved the grunge look........so comfy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now I wear yoga pants (comfy) and baby doll t-shirts. Lots of cable cardigans (I love them- no idea why), fleeces, sneakers, flip flops all summer and silver jewelry.........dress up? What's that? Actually I do miss dressing up for me job- which by the end dressing up was jeans, boots and a nice sweater (which I keep spelling as sewater). Yeah- I wear sea water???????? :blink:

[nikki-uk]

PHATAUGMN!!!!!

OMG!!!! PLum Island air is clearly suiting Bevels psillie!!!

Being a very non-fashionista, didn't succumb to much of the horrors of the 80's. but oh, those body suits! You were lucky if the snaps were all that got snapped! And the stirrup pants--always felt like I should be on a gee-gee. But I did also do the dress tucked in thingy and was only mildly snockered; what's worse, no one told me!!

No, not quite Crocodile Dundee. It wouldn't have been quite so funny coming from a REAL man. This was a little twerp puffed up so full of hisselph, with adolescent acne, looking not more than 19, and taking hisselph so pseriously in his amazing pronouncement. So I then proceeded to inform him how I got it, naming all the broken bones in me foot and the torn ligaments, and totally deflated the little Shite so that in the end he was asking what I did in the medical profession. I just told him I was an informed consumer

Crikey mate!...Bevel wears sea waters?! ...no worries 'cos I wear jumpers ... yer gotta go wiv it ............

Yeah, Bevel wears seawaters, Nickel wears jumpers, I wears jerseys! Holy cow! Hope its not a poopy one (lol)

Well, I pronounces it halfway between, not quite Shiite, and not Shite, but more like shuh-itis. Of course, I is always right

This is where I am: Open Original Shared Link

Haven't seen a snowy owl or a seal yet but I'm hoping!!!!!!!!! It's an island but you just drive over a bridge. It's where I took pics of the swans at sunset this winter (see new av if it works).

Bev-really...I SO want to be there with you! It looks like my kind of place. Don't know why, but I didn't think that glossy Ibis (or white for that matter) went that far north. I think of them as southern birds. I probably would not want to leave such a place. Some of the pics remind me of Maine....which I miss very much. Was only a 4-5 hour drive from my old home.

HA!!!! *SOME* of us wore the "retro" when they were the new thing!! I had elephant ear bell bottoms with x-tra wide belts...nehru jacket....paisley print.....Yeah, I remember the crotch-snaps and the contortions to get them snapped......I remember paper "throw-away" dresses (very short-lived fad). I didn't own any...but I remember some people who did. Saddle shoes!!! Did anybody else ever have to wear them? We still had dress codes in school until I was into junior high. Ahhhhh the memories come flooding in.... and of course we can't forget tye-dye. Anything that looked the least bit psychodelic was groovey, I guess.

Oh well....back to catching up.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I coulda written this whole thing myself!! Nehru Jackets <snort> wif medallion necklace!! Very Peter Lawford of us!

I had forgotten all about the paper dresses! I didn't have one either, but also know someone who did. Gawd

My bell-bottoms always had to JUST touch the floor when I was wearing my platform shoes. I was very particular about that.

[elye]

Whoa.. . . . ... . .. . .. .I've, like, nothing to contribute. .. .. . ........this is all SO before my time. .. . .......

[psawyer]

Whoa.. . . . ... . .. . .. .I've, like, nothing to contribute. .. .. . ........this is all SO before my time. .. . .......

Gee, you missed it. The paisley shirts; the boots with inch-thick soles and three inch heels; belts three inches wide on the brightly coloUred bell-bottom trousers....

Never did have a Nehru jacket.

They say that if you claim to remember the sixties, you weren't really there.

[jerseyangel]

Never did have a Nehru jacket.

But did you have a leisure suit??????????

Mark had a couple of beauts!

[Judyin Philly]

Since much of my dad's TV wardrobe is sitting unused in storage at the house,

I would love to wear one of these. I think heads may turn when I enter the church, and our bride would not be amused.

OR: Why not bring the costumes into the hospital, and help my dad get into them, a new one each day?

...Now there's an idea. . . .. .....

He's been in the hospital ever since that first surgery, which was April 23rd.

Hence the merit of this wardrobe idea - - nothing would spice up a hideously long hospital stay, for the patient and particularly for the staff, like authentic John Wayne

chaps, holster and stetson or Richard Simmons spandex and reeboks. . . .....

What a great idea to cheer your Dad.

I didn't realize he'd been in so long. tough on everyone i'm sure.

JOODITH!!!!!!!!

your whole post warmed me 'eart.......soooooooo glad you're feeling better, did some traveling, even!!!! And all of this - the log cabin, the uncle, your brother and wife that are fun to stay with, your wonderful friend. And all this time without smoking!!!! such good, positive stuff

Thanks Susie........you know i still miss it. stupid as it is.

I love seeing you post as i hadn't read much from you when i was reading and not posting.

hope the nice weather continues for you my friend

Me Psillies- How for art thou? I missed a lot but wanted to poop in and say MEOW (I don't know why meow.....just wanted to say it!)

Bev-----Mewow back at ya..glad your having a good time with your Dad

Must tell all my medical monitor came to my site today and she brought me a present- gluten free orange cake from Starbucks. I was so excited and it was so good....very moist.

They are so good aren't they

They don't sell then in the Philly airport can y ou believe

HA Em making me laugh again

I know I'm really out of the loop but what big event did Jess have going today?

hugs all

Judy

[jerseyangel]

I know I'm really out of the loop but what big event did Jess have going today?

Jess had a job interview today.

[Jestgar]

hi all

completely wiped. Forgot how intense interviews are.

seemed to go well. met everyone in the department. everyone loves working there,except the guy who's leaving. he says it's too repetitive. good to be aware of. might mean it's only for a couple years (which would get us through this economic thing) and then something new.

[Judyin Philly]

Jess so happy the invterview went well.

hope it comes through for you

Judy

If memory serves.......I knew a lot of people who were "in" the sixties that weren't really there either!"

[flourgirl]

Jshess.....they had you meeting everyone? THAT sounds very positive!!! Am still keeping you in the loop of prayers and sending "good things vibes" your way.

Some time back we mentioned psychic energy....and I told you about street lamps blinking off when I passed under (this really does happen, I swear). I went to the dentist for my cleaning and they wanted to take a (I don't remember what they called it....like a roundhouse x-ray) digital xray of my head. It's a fairly big machine that gets a picture of the total mouth, sinuses, mandible and mandibular joint..... Anyway, it would not work! We tried 3 times! I told the technician that the year before the same thing happened...we kept trying to get an xray but it refused to cooperate. So.....back to the room for the cleaning. The tech told another about the machine.......she comes back and said...there's nothing wrong with it!! Why is it I have this effect on electrical things? Must be my magnetic personality

Peaches has taken over our whole lives house. We just adore her and are spoiling her. We really need to find a decent vet who won't require a human sacrifice charge us a mortgage payment for services. Up north we had a vet who specialized in cats only and now I really miss her. She loved her patients so much......we want the best for our little monster precious baby.

Hope all is well in psillyville......no nice to hear from the mia's.

[elye]

Yes......my siblings have to strain to recall much of that late decade. I remember little of it, as I was just a wee babe . . . . . .....

Jyessss! Way to go on that interview! Must feel good to simply have something else brewing on the sidelines.....I'm gunnin' for ya. . . . . .....

Jack's Little League team won their first playoff game last night 7-6. They play Thursday, and then a medal game (hopefully gold!) on Sunday. Jack is no longer staring at bees buzzing by in the outfield, nor humming to himself and doing his math homework calculations in his head while manning second base. He has come a LONG way this season . . .. . .....

[blueeyedmanda]

Jess- sounds like good news to me :) Keeping ya in my thoughts!

Morning sillz-

Summer seems to be running behind schedule this year- mid-june and high is 70's....
