Coffee Klatch

yes, she is an indoor creature during mosquito season

Tell her she's not alone! Some summers, I live on benadryl.

Yeah, I wonder what there purpose on the earth is?? Just pissing off the humans or what?

I know. When I was little, I used to wonder why Noah let them on the ark! I don't know that they do anything besides spread disease. Crummy little buggers!

Hey.
You gotta watch this for a good laugh. Its only 3-4 mins.

Oh that poor man! There was a thread on this a couple of days ago, but I forgot to watch it. Thanks, Flav. I won't say anymore, except, guys, you GOTTA watch it!

I almost pee'd my pants, my family are big nascar fans

TB I have heard rubbing a bounce dryer sheet on your skin will keep them away, havent tried it though

Happy St Patty's Day everyone. Hope you all had a nice one.

This is the first one in a long time I didnt have corned beef and cabbage. Can you believe the stores were sold out except for a huge one that was 15lbs!

Went to restaurant depot and loaded up on meats and other necessities instead and spent all afternoon putting 40 lbs of chicken breast into my seal a meal things and 11 lbs of steak and 20 lbs of ribs, plus 5 lbs of cheese.

At least everything else didnt need repackaging

Nothing has a purpose here. Everything that is here is just our interpretation of it. Its real purpose is what it is in heaven.

Holy moly! That salesman will never forget a test drive like that.

Sounds like you are stocked up now. I didn't do corned beef this year. Tonight we are having a baked chicken.

I thought that video was really funny. I know I am gonna end up making a corned beef later this month just because I want one now! Next week is out, but probably the following week

Well, guys, we are now officially on baby watch!! Dil is being admitted this afternoon and baby K will be born sometime tomorrow.

I don't want to get embarrassing, but I don't know what the procedure is that my son is talking about. HE was embarrassed trying to tell me, too!LOL If I understand correctly, they have a different way to dilate the mom by inserting a device(?) in the cervix with the pitocin. Clueless here. If you know what it is, you don't have to explain. I'll find out later!LOL

I don't know if we'll go to the hospital today. I doubt poor dil is going to want much company. She won't be in a regular room. They're putting her in a labor room, so we couldn't go see her today, anyway. The doc is going to check on her first thing in the morning if nothing starts up overnight. If baby K goes into distress, they're going to do a c-section. Looks like tomorrow is going to be a long day.

Ooooh So we will have a birthday on the 19th!!! Soooo excited for you TB!
I am thrilled and wishing DIL a blessed delivery!

Thanks, Mama! I'm a nervous wreck. This has been the longest weekend of my life!LOL I'm pinging off the walls. I decided to leave the forum up while I go back and forth. I'm still trying to get hold of everyone, too. I'm really bad at waiting! I have a better sympathy for the men after this!LOLOL

Awww, better get a nap, TB. It's probably hard to rest right now, but you might be glad later. You could be called in tonight or the wee hrs. of the morning.

Nope, can't sleep now! Doing dishes and then going to make cookies for the kids tomorrow! Gotta keep busy, my brain won't shut down. My allergies are terrible today, anyway. I'm better right now if I keep going. Too bad the phone doesn't work outside. Do you believe it? We might get snow next week! It's been in the 70's and even mid 80's! Not fair.

The fibro flared up last week and I'm WAY behind my schedule. I could hardly move for a couple of days. After the front went through last night, POOF, no pain! Weird stuff, fibro-myalgia.

Poor thing, TB. Glad the pain is gone now. Horrible to feel that way.

Hope you don't get snow. Nasty stuff. You could have at least sent the 70's and 80's this way. It's nasty here. It's been gray and dreary for 2 full days now. It's drizzling now, after the ice thawed this morning. Was supposed to get in the mid 40's today but it sure didn't feel like it when I was out. Springs a comin' though. Seriously. 8)

That's what I hear. Talked to mom a little bit ago. She said the ice has melted off the roads and they closed schools again. You could always send the moisture down here! We would crown you Queen of No More Drought!LOL

Would if I could TB. Sure would. You make me thankful for rain, even though it is gray and gloomy. Thanks for that!

It's only March, Nine's. Spring is on it's way, I promise! Thanks for the posies! I LIKE the non-allergic kind!LOL

Oh goodie! I was just coming on to get the baby update, so now I guess I have to wait a little longer too.

I dont know about the device, but I do know about pitocin, nasty stuff, intensifies the contractions, hated that stuff.

We had the smallest rainshower today, I said look its raining and in the time it took me to say that it had stopped. I think it was a 3 second shower.

Hi, Flav. I had pit before, too. It's the worst, but when you need it, you need it. Sounds like the showers we had when I lived on Oahu! They were really cool to watch! Sun everywhere, even in the middle of the shower.

Dil's parent's are going to stay in the waiting room overnight. We offered them a hotel room, but our town is 1/2 an hour away and they didn't want to be that far. They don't want to stay at one of the hotels a block away, either. I don't blame them, I wouldn't want to either. I'm waiting for hubs to get home from work. We'll probably go up for awhile. Turns out dil can have visitors until 9, since she's not in active labor yet. I really have a feeling the dr. will end up doing a c-section tomorrow. GGRrrrrrrr!!!!!! I hate waiting!LOL

I know you hate the waiting, but not more then her! Make sure you post and update us.

Name
weight
length
method of birth
you know the drill, Im the nosy one

Tell them that I wish them well if you do go up tonight

Sorry, Flav, my daughter was on the phone! I will let you all know as soon as I can! I'll have to wait until I get back home, though. Gramps just got home, so I'll have to get off for awhile.

Go take care of your family. to all of you

It's hard for boys to discuss the "girly parts" with their mom. If I am thinking correctly, I had this done with both of my girls. They use a paste/gel stuff and put it on the cervix to thin it out and help with dilation. Nothing too gross, just hard for him to find the words for it.

I'm glad things are going well for them. Such an exciting time...it's so hard to wait to meet the little one.

Hi Nine's! It was sunny but cool here today. The wind was really chilly. I'm itching to set some plants!

Hi SO. Glad you recovered from your food poisoning. Terrible thing to happen!

Makes two of us wanting to get some planting done. Glad it was sunny for you today even if it was cool. It'll be so good to be warm again and enjoying outdoors!
