TLynn - so excited about the butterflies!  I remember the last time!!

Blondie - you are so funny!!  My car is a '99 with almost 200 K!!  I just pray it still keeps running!!  Doesn't sound like any fun for your daughter!  But thankfully you (and the Navy!) have taught her to make the best out of any situation!  Tell her happy thoughts and prayers are being said for her and FOR YOU!!  Take care!

I love the butterflies!  yes, keep us posted.  the security light is on in my car all the time, we had to get it re-keyed and every since it's on.  they told me it just means your security system is not working.  who cares, it's a '96, rust holds it together I have over 200 thousand miles on it and I work in small town(village just doesn't sound right)  america and I live in the country with big outside dogs!  not a problem.  Now my check engine soon light...that bothers me, but I'm getting use to it too. LOL

 

ships? my daughter said they are going to cancel their fall cruise becaue it needs fixed again, her words...they didn't fix it right the first time!  (I hear the frustration in both their cases.)  they will have to declassify the ship again and move everything onto base.  it's okay tho because the windows on that building have been already bricked shut!  Unfortuniately on this job she can't just go out TAD  they just move her to a building with no windows and make her keep working. She's even worked in closets!  YICKS no wonder she's always tired and cranky. lol  Navy Life.

Hi

Hurray Blondie is back :)

I know you have already heard this from everyone - but REST !  Now I have to find some gossip for you.

My GF and I had a good time yesterday. She is now back on the road heading for Maryland. 

Well, my car - again is flashing that "Security " light - and I just paid $504 to have that fixed.  So back to the place tomorrow.  Then it blew it's fuse again, so I cannot use that key bob to lock and luck the car.

Today Kristen asked me over to help her dig up as many of her day lilies and I brought some home.  Also, all those caterpillars have now created their crystallis. So now is the countdown for the Monarchs to hatch.. She and her hubby are considering about becoming Monarch Butterfly Markers.  When the butterfly's wing is dry and strong - they would tag and record it before releasing. A way to track the migration.  Let you know if they do this. 

My sailor sent a short message on FB.  Ship will be having another inspection soon and all are stressed.  Inspection !! Again?  That is all that ship does. I've lost count.  He will call later. - Well I heard from him.

Welcome new mom :) My son is stationed in Sasebo Japan too.  One thing for your son to pack; Long Johns.  It does get cold there and the Nek runs out of big sizes fast.  So my son had us ship his - just 3 pairs.

The Laundry Fairy moved in - talk later  hugs

choir at Church!  some of those voices hurt on a good day (and I'm not making fun, they are great singers, just high pitched!), train whistle at night (not sure why it's louder at night, something to do with heavier/lighter air....)  we have a train track about 1/2 mile from our house some nights it sounds like it's coming through the living room!  I have drops and plugs to wear, they really do help.  right now my biggest oh no!  is no motorcycle rides!

Noises. Childrens voices will go right through you. It will be tough to be around a lot of women at once. Avoid women whose voices pitch up and down a lot, especially a high pitch. In a crowd situate yourself near the lower voices and ask the squeeky voices to be on the other side of the room. I can't explain it. You will understand.

thanks Kim, great advice and thanks for letting me know about your experience, it will help when i get frustrated at the slow process.  right now they are trying to prevent a re-hap and treat for infections. and of course the BP went extremely high, Yeah, I'm in a hospital surrounded by doctors!  what's not to understand. Plus everything my body was going through. my actions are restricted no bouncing (mowing, RR tracks,roller coasters....)  what about this roller coaster we call life?  LOL  sudden movements make me sick, no load noises (becasue of tear in ear drum) I'm not allowed to get over tired, drive, lift heavy etc......I finally said what can I do?  the answer was R E S T. LOL  should have just paid lyou the big bucks!

Blondie, I am sure they told you this but ,the brain heals really, really slowly and you need lots of rest. I had a severe concussion 6 years ago. I had the same problem with my hands and my legs wouldn't work together. I would start out fine in the morning, then the headaches and symptoms would start. Each week they seemed to start an hour later. It took months before I stopped walking like I had been drinking. You need to let others wait on you. R-E-S-T.

thank you, that's another reason I couldn't stay away from work, my computer!  I love and need this site, and this group.
