Yes, I think they're talking about the 5th Stephy.

I'll have to see - I've done a number on a rib and I'm not moving very easily at the moment. I'll see how I feel by Tuesday and let you know then. Did you know they don't tape your ribs anymore? They just let 'em hold themselves and heal willy-nilly. "Go home and take it easy!!" Like I could do anything else!!!

I haven't been this clumsy since I was a kid on roller skates with a skate-key around my neck!

Glenda

Oh, poor Glenda!

Do you have any of those (awful beige) wrapping bands hiding in the medicine cupboard? If I was you, I'd be strapping myself up pdq! It's so helpful...

Hugs, hon!

Sorry, Steph; I used the old-fashioned Tuesday next phrasing, I suspect I've dated myself, but yes, that's the next available Tuesday the 5th...

I'll be (finally) bringing some of those strong choc-y ginger bits (motivation? bribery? for Glenda)...

Nothing so useful ... I can tell you that a bra is out of the question for the duration and that's NOT a pretty sight!!! Jude, if that kind of motivation doesn't do it, I don't know what will!

It's not as bad as it could be ... I can get comfortable in a couple of positions lying down so I'm managing to sleep well. Sitting at the 'puter for very long is a whole 'nother story! And John is learning more about cooking in a very short time than he thought he was capable of!!!

Hope to see you all Tuesday! Glenda

I'll be there "Tuesday next!" I'll even wear my old-timey golf-cap so that when I say it I'll look appropriate.

Glenda...shame about the rib...I hope you aren't in too much pain and that we get to see you!

((((((Glenda)))))) <--- get better soon. We will look forward to seeing you with or without a bra on Tuesday. Honest, we don't care!!!

;~)

"Don't squeeze the Glenda!" You'll pop that rib through her lung!

gentle then.......

Julie

"Don't squeeze the Glenda!" .... Steph, I couldn't have said it better myself! That's EXACTLY what it feels like!!! But .... it's improving slowly - I can actually sit up at the 'puter for a half-hour without hurting too much. I certainly couldn't have done that a couple of days ago. So .... I'm hopeful for Tuesday, but I'll take it one day at a time.

Something tells me golf will be out of the question for several weeks - DAMN!!!!!

Glenda

Just popping in here to say see y'all tonight.....

Julie

PS Hope you are feeling better Glenda!!!!

I'll be there...5:30pm!

I'm going to try driving a little this afternoon - if that works, I'll be there!

Glenda

PS - Anyone heard from Anny?

haven't heard a word from Anny since her last post saying to go ahead without her

;~(

Ladies, I'm starting to feel mildly persecuted...


The DH has had a miserable chest cold for 5 days or so (and is just the fine patient one can expect ) and I have actually managed to fend it off -- I attribute my health and resistance to the lack of refined carbs in my life of course!

Last night, however, I started to get the scratch, and a small headache. I've been applying antivirals, vitamins, antioxidants and fluids, and it doesn't seem much worse today, I'm way more functional than the DH was ... but it wouldn't be fair to not give you fair warning. I'm not sneezing or coughing heavily and wash my hands a lot, but still...dang it, I was SO looking forward to this.

So I'm hoping you all get this in time, and let me know what you think. I'm hoping we can rebook for next Tuesday the 12th? Or? DH is on the mend as of this morning, so I figure 5 to 7 days ought to work (and be better for our Glenda, too).

I'm just going to go check the dates discussed in the first part of this thread...



~later~ : ok, maybe a Thursday, the 7th if this thing doesn't progress, else the 21st (ouch!)?

Thanks for the head's up! I appreciate it IMMENSELY.

If anybody is sick...or getting sick...I will pass. With my job I can't afford to get sick right now. It's a very busy time for me.
I cancelled a dinner last night as well because my friend felt "funny."

I'm happy to reschedule for the 12th...or any weekday evening.

I hear you, Steph! Here's a virtual ! Non-catching!


I look forward to the day when we have enough time and you can tell me all about your job (and if you did already, please forgive me, I'm having my 3rd mid-life crisis, with memory gaps...).
