Plop plop fizz fizz…

The old college hangover ritual. Drink a glass of Alka seltzer (or a Goody’s powder) BEFORE the big night of drinking. No hangover! Glass of milk to coat the stomach worked well back then also…

Just in case anyone’s going on a bender day drinking today…you’re welcome!

Get on the Big Ol’ Jet Airliner home. Good to be heading east. I hear it’s warm and dry, no rain in forever. Could use a drop on my parched yard. It’s almost time for little goblins to haunt the premises…

The Orca spyhop MZ…looks photoshopped but still…pretty stunning!

That happened to my mother when my parents divorced. She got through it, but boy was she ever pissed.

It's a shock!

MY blood sugar is 6.8 at my last test
It's probably 9 now
Cuz I cheat a lot...

I hope you're talking about your A1c, RJ. If this is your blood sugar, K and I will be there starting a D10 IV and pushing D50!

Quota is 25 a year!

 

[Lilianna23]

25+20 days vacation+3 personal days, 48 days off sounds right. No weekends 104+ holidays say 14. So 166 days from 365. Leaving 199 non-slag days.

Perfect, OM! I knew you would have my back!

 

[Lilianna23]

Nurses typically work 3 days a week...so 156 days a year..... that leaves a lot left over!!!!

We need them for the therapy appointments

So true!

 

[Lilianna23]

I should have gone into nursing....
(I have a buddy who is. He is NEVER out of work.)

It's not too late! My oldest student graduated in her late 50s.

 

[Lilianna23]

Hmmmmm!

You had to know my girlies would come thru for me!

 

[Lilianna23]

Ok folks, time to sign off and adult. Not sure if I’ll be stopping by tomorrow, I have a procedure that requires sedation so if I am on, I’ll be out of it. Y’all have a great rest of your day and a good night.

I hope your procedure goes well, BSK.

Anyone suffer with fall allergies?

It's getting to the point of wanting to look for someplace else to live...

I have Spring ones. Cedar fever is real here!

 

[Lilianna23]

He best hope he doesn't run into MissK.

Especially if he's misbehaving! Eye pokies!

 

[Lilianna23]

I bought a new dining room table..... I love it..... I had to take off and put the legs back on with washers and square bolts

Nice looking table!

 

[Lilianna23]

You and lili are showing just how amazing you both are.

You're just as amazing! ️

Like going on prednisone bad?
(Always on the lookout for people to commiserate with. Trade ideas...)

Prednisone is a VERY last resort for me! It turns me into a complete bitch! I can't even stand myself!

Sad news… Terri Garr passed away today. 79 years young. Had bad MS.

One of my faves. Esp in Young Frankenstein. What are your Young Frankenstein favorite quotes or memories?

Mine were actually seeing the movie in the movie theater. I must’ve been eight or nine, and parts of it scared the shit out of me!!

I read that today. So sad. I thought she was a wonderful actor!

 

[Lilianna23]

Now my head is spinning!!

I can barely add two numbers!

When it comes to how many days off we have, nurses are VERY good with the numbers!

 

[Lilianna23]

Good night

Good night, K! I hope you can sleep tonight!

 

[Lilianna23]

Good night, OM! ️

I LOVE old cars like that! They're why I go to car shows. Modern stuff rarely ever interests me.

Also, I totally want to own a pretty parasol.

P.S. HI, everyone! I just arrived (as in this is my first ever post in this thread).

Welcome, VB!

 

[Lilianna23]

Yeah, float chargers keep the cells topped off, no self discharge and less cell breakdown. Get a good float charger, I've had good luck with Schumacher.

I'll look into this. Thanks! Is a float charger the same as a trickle charger?

Happy Halloween Everyone...

I'll not be going to CA to ski.

But I have been snowed on on the 4th of July.

Why would you when you have superior snow there? I just lived in LA at the time. It was a novelty thing. Totally rock and ice skiing. I kept my lift ticket for years afterwards.

He’s wasting all that coffee!!!

I was more interested in the giant sausages on his plate.

Wow. That IS a lot. I've recently gotten into doing my own nails with gel nail polish (which cures with a UV lamp) to help strengthen them. I love that shelf unit. Although both my essential oils and gel nail polishes would all fit on it with room to spare. And I got the essential oils to make my own perfumes.

Also, I am a wizard at organizing. You're probably too far away to assist though.

I have gels, too. And dip powder. See? An addiction! The only thing I haven't gotten into yet is polygels. However, I do have a few kits in an Amazon wish list!

Lately, I've been doing a gel base with regular polish on top. My nails are thin and fragile. They literally hurt if there's no product on them.
