Wish I had something, anything, to contribute to the pow-wow on poor Skeeter's mystery diagnosis. Must report, however, that I had a sudden Skeeter moment this morning when I was standing in the shower -- I looked down at my winter-pummeled body and suddenly felt quite sick.. .. . ...

A Skeeter Moment: looking down whilst in shower at one's own dimply, middle-aged, ever-expanding flesh and becoming nauseated

Hope we get to the bottom of the Skeet's problems PSOON. and as Geoss said, she IS our kid too!!!!!!

Hooray, a couple of Psoozle visits; she must be feeling betta. Good to see you Suze. Now get your butt out in that lovely 50 degree brisk dog-walking weather and give the Weeze a treat. Find a park, take a Frisbee, and have phun, phun, phun.

Shroom, and Sills, I have been doing VERY well.......shockingly well, really, and curiously BUSY.... My new job is so amazing and my bosses, so generous (friends, really) that......I keep pinching myself? Is this REAL? and I DID take Weez for a walk on this freezing, brisk day - we are both tired! Heading to bed to watch Bright Star......forgot the poet/author it's about - is it Keats?

Shroomie's traveling - sounds exotic and PHUN!

Happy Mum's Day tomorrow, Nik!!

It's great havin the boy here!

OK my lovelies.

Discovered that my indecision in choosing a lime juice resulted in ni lime juice at all so I've added extra citronge to the margarita and it is now extra fabulous. I am halfway through one, and having consumed nothing but 6 peanutbutter cups (they were the small ones ) since about 2 pm I find myself feeling warm and snuggly. Loquacious, but not quite to the unintelligible stage. I've truned in the last homework for my class, naught remains but the final, and the sense of relief is heavenly.

Lets see if I can compose some sort of poetry before the extra Citronge does me in.

no psillie words are in my head

i tried to rhyme, but thought instead

of all the things you are to me

a place to whine

a place to cheer

whatever comes

there is no fear

that you will see me

as any but me

I can yell

or laugh

or be sad

this is the place

where all are glad

that we are we

and good or bad

giving or taking

a circle of strength

this place is making

a psillie poem

with little lift

and yet the worst

is still a gift

I do not deserve the gentle and kind

amazing people that do not mind

my musings and ramblings, but I will take

the grace and love that friendship make

and now goodnight, for we all face the day

with troubles and joys and new games to play

and tho the tequila has made my lips numb

my fingers unsteady and my intellect dumb

I know without question that all of you

have made my smiles greater and my worries be few

Sleep in peace and take this as true

the world is better because it has you

Goodnight my loves. Accept this is my sloppy drunk "I love you all" offering.

_{and don't any of you ever tell anyone that I was so emotional :threatening_face:}

[jerseyangel]

Sleep in peace and take this as true

the world is better because it has you

...and you, Jess.

[mushroom]

Dat's just plain beeyoutiphul, Jyess. You must drink citronge more often, it really mellows you out , well that AND having all homework turned in Good luck for the phinal!!

GOoooOood morning, Psilliest of da Psilly!

What a wunnerful thing to read first thing in the morning, amongst all the economical gloom and political corruption and the-ice-caps-are-melting fodder from the newspaper -- Jyessss's pre-inebriation Ode to Psillyville! 'Twas perfect - - found myself reciting it out loud, as not only the words but the metre and intonation are bang-on... .. .. . . . your musicality shines through, Jyessss. . ..! You need to be doing this for us regularly, anytime you begin the citronage.. . . ......um, citronella?... . ..Nope, that just keeps the mosquitos away. . . .....

Soooooze, what great news about your job. Can you tell us more about it? Is it clandestine and scary?

... . Perhaps you have spoken about it and I missed it.. . . ..... . . . not sure. . .... . .....

Whot in hell are you DOING?

Gniiiickkers! HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

[happygirl]

Jess: so fitting

Janet: incoming PM

Nik: happy mama's day to you!

[jerseyangel]

Jyessss's pre-inebriation Ode to Psillyville!

Happy Sunday mornin sills!! Hope Nik is waking up to a warm and snuggly Mum's day.

[Darn210]

Lurvely, Jyess . . . . . . howya feelin' today? . . . glad hw is done and good luck in the phinal.

Thanks for the input, Laura . . . and thanks to you, too, Rayshelle. When Skeeter gets her NEW doctor, I will bring up both EE and CVS . . . current doctor totally poo-poos any of my suggestions. New doctor will be in May unless I decide to do something radical and go out of state.

Nik . . . Happy Mum's Day . . . perhaps a mahgahrita wif extra Citronge?

[happygirl]

Fire your doctor. Get a new one. :-)

[jerseyangel]

Ugh...a new doctor is in order, one who's not on an ego trip

Keep us posted on Skeeter, Jan-it, she is one of our own

Why is it that having someone visit somehow gives me a phree ticket to eat everything that isn't nailed down? I haven't worked out in 3 days and can nae stay out of the cookies....and crackers....and cheese.....it's a regular carb-o-palloza

[jerseyangel]

Mmmmmmmm . . . salsa . . . so just how many lessons do you need before you know how to make good salsa??

High-dee 'ho, Psills!

'Tis the start of our March break.

:wacko:

So, dunno whot to do with these children sitting in front of screens everywhere I look.

And, what else. .. ?....... . .. ..Ah, yes, I am hungover. Wine is the one beautiful thing that I can indulge in excessively without ANY ill effects on my celiac disease or diabetes. My brain and liver, however, are another ball game.

Had a big family gathering here last night. My mother has been talking about a fan-f*ckin'-TAS-tic old codger who has moved in down the hall from her at the retirement home. Apparently, he has a lot of money, a huge cottage in the Muskokas, he is brilliantly musical and has a razor-sharp wit.

However, he is rather ugly.

But, um. . . . . .. . . . ......after eighty, isn't everyone ugly? can one remain attractive at 88 years old?

And anyways, what in hell does it MATTER if he's not an old Robert Redford?? Mom, you're, uh, turning eighty-two - - some priorities, I would think, have to slide somewhat.. . . . . ..

[Jestgar]

Seriously. Just tell her to take off her glasses....

Yawn. March break is a dead time for our business.

If your name is Julius, today may not be a good day to visit the Senate.

At least it isn't raining today.

The parking lot needs cleaning up. The P/T help is due in at 4:00. Management is the art of getting other people to do all the work.

[Jestgar]

I am in a delightful mood. Have yet to really start studying, but I'll review everything today so tomorrow can be focused. Plan on a good hour of weightlifting tonight, did my hour of cardio this morning ate about two pounds of chocolate yesterday https://www.celiac.com/uploads/emoticons/default_ph34r.png alt=':ph34r:'> and am feeling quite virtuous or on a huge sugar high. Planning my math classes for next quarter.....I may even do a little bit of work at work today... or go find more chocolate when I crash....

[elye]

Jyesss, I admire you so much, taking serious courses whilst working full-time. I know I could never combine these two things.. . . ..would burn me RIGHT out, pronto, and I would subsequently get fired and/or would fail said courses. . . . . ...

Seriously. Just tell her to take off her glasses....

There's the rub. Mom has SUPERB eyesight. Has drugstore glasses for small print, and even those she rarely needs to use. So, this man is visually clear as a bell to her, all the time. In perfect, ugly focus. I have suggested that she squint, or not look directly at him. However, she has told me that this would appear rude and/or silly, and that he would think she's a little nuts.

The interesting irony is this: he is an acclaimed pianist and has a great singing and speaking voice. My mom is hard of hearing, and has just gotten new, high-tech hearing aids. She turns them WAY up when around him, so that she can really revel in the timbre of his voice. Unfortunately, the aids start to hum and ring when cranked up, which undoubtedly make her appear silly.... . . . . what she wants to avoid. She cannot hear this distorted interference noise, as she is hard of hearing... ...hence the hearing aids... . . .which make the noise. . . . . . . ......

At least it isn't raining today.

The parking lot needs cleaning up.

With all the rain you've had, I'd be thinking that your parking lot would be squeaky clean, POeter!

Jack is really looking forward to may 10th, when Robert S. comes to town. . . .......

. . . yeah . . . . . . flashback to me scraping gum off the bottom of the tables at Dairy Queen. Thanks for the trip down memory lane, Peoter!!! . . .
