Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 21897 comments Did you have a good one, Dhes? Or rather, are you having a good one?

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 1922 comments In the process. We were supposed to go to my parents but my mom called this morning and said she wasn't feeling up to it. So I have 4 slabs of ribs, 6 chicken breast, a big bowl of macaroni salad and 24 dinner rolls to eat. *sigh*

So my daughter came here instead and we're about to chow down :)

Sunny☼ (sunny2) | 643 comments Sorry to hear about your mother Dhestiny. You went to so much trouble you should enjoy the fruits of your labour. No pun intended.

Thanks, sunny.

The truth is that my brother decided to come up to see her and honestly, truthfully, she adores him a lot... me? She doesn't adore so much. So not feeling well was a lie.

But I'm going to drive up there now and drop food off. My dad really wanted some ribs. He was very excited when I told him I was bringing them for dinner, so I'll take them up for him. My brother is gone now so since it's an hour drive both ways, so I need to get going!

I hope everyone had a greeeat Mothers' Day!

Pamela(AllHoney) (pamelap) | 14528 comments I went and saw The Avengers today. LOVED it.


message 360: by UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Naughty Co-Mod (new)

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 1922 comments I want to see Hysteria!!!!!!

Everyone says Avengers is great, but bloody. Is it bloody?


message 361: by Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother (new)

Pamela(AllHoney) (pamelap) | 14528 comments A lot of violence but not really gory bloody. But yes, some blood. Lots of action and some comic relief here and there.

Pamela(AllHoney) (pamelap) | 14528 comments Finally went and did the mamogram :(

Well, I'm dense so now I got to go back and do another one :p


message 363: by Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 21897 comments Oh, Pamela. You should make sure the person doing the next one has a lot of experience taking the mamogram.


message 364: by Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother (new)

Pamela(AllHoney) (pamelap) | 14528 comments Well, they warned me I'd probably have to come back since I never had one for them to compare.


message 365: by UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Naughty Co-Mod (new)

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 1922 comments I'm glad you went, and I'm glad you're going back. I had to do a repeat for the same reason, nothing to compare to, and everything was fine. I'll say a prayer for you that everything'll be okay!


message 366: by Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother (new)

Pamela(AllHoney) (pamelap) | 14528 comments I'm sure all is well. I just thought it was funny that I'm "dense". lol


message 367: by Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 21897 comments LOL! Just when you think with your. . . breasts. ☺


message 368: by Sunny☼ (new)

Sunny☼ (sunny2) | 643 comments love the little stickers that they stick on the end. with a metal ball. I think I will start a collection.


message 369: by Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother (new)

Pamela(AllHoney) (pamelap) | 14528 comments stickers? We get stickers?


message 370: by Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 21897 comments Yeah, those little tiny "markers" that are about the size of a dime and have a "metal ball" a little bigger than the size of a pin head so they show up on the x-ray. Think of them as tassels. LOL!


message 371: by Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother (new)

Pamela(AllHoney) (pamelap) | 14528 comments Oh, well, they called me again from the dr.'s office. I'm low in iron and they want me to get a colonoscopy. They hate me, I tell ya!


message 372: by Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 21897 comments Oh, dear! Take your iron tabs, Pamela. Yes, you'll be sh!ting bricks - literally - but you'll feel better. The colonoscopy is b/c of your age, right? No symptoms, I gather.


message 373: by Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother (new)

Pamela(AllHoney) (pamelap) | 14528 comments Yeah, I think so. I guess since I've slid by for so long they decided to sock it to me while they can.


message 374: by UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Naughty Co-Mod (new)

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 1922 comments I'm 52 28 and have never had a colonpopsokpy. I can't even say the damned word, it makes me so nervous!


message 375: by Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother (new)

Pamela(AllHoney) (pamelap) | 14528 comments My insurance sent out something to me a few weeks ago about the things I need at my age. I went and looked at it so I guess its my insurance ppl's fault :(

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 1922 comments Bastards!!!!!!!!!

Pamela(AllHoney) (pamelap) | 14528 comments I agree! The old meanies!!!!!!!


message 378: by Robin (Saturndoo) (new)

Robin (Saturndoo) (robinsaturndoo) Hi!! I have been MIA for several days and am trying to catch up with everyone : )

First I would like to say Happy Belated Mother's Day!!!

Pink Roses Mothers Day image
Mothers Day Graphics @ dazzlejunction.com

Last week was a very busy hectic week. I was helping my two boys look at colleges, fill out applications, get financial aid papers filled out and all that good stuff. My youngest son turned 18 on Mother's Day so I got to tease him about having to share his birthday with me LOL. On top of being busy, I caught the flu from my youngest son, which he didn't have to share that of all things. But I am back now, still sick but hopefully getting better : )

@ Pamela UGHHHH I hope everything turns out perfect on all your tests and wish you lots of luck!!!


message 379: by UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Naughty Co-Mod (new)

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 1922 comments Oh wow! You HAVE been busy, Robin! I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling well, but glad you're on the mend!


message 380: by Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother (last edited May 22, 2012 11:14AM) (new)

Pamela(AllHoney) (pamelap) | 14528 comments @Robin, I feel great! Apparently my doctor got the letter saying I need all these tests because of my age and he must have actually read it. Boo on him!!!!

Good Luck on the apps. I did the Navy instead of college but I hope my daughter goes to college. She still has a few years before we worry about that. And GET WELL NOW!!!!


message 381: by Brynne (new)

Brynne (shego911) Yeah! Get well!


message 382: by Robin (Saturndoo) (new)

Robin (Saturndoo) (robinsaturndoo) Thanks everyone!!!

BOOOO HISS on the letter requesting all the tests Pamela. But, better to be safe than sorry. LOL I am trying to GET WELL NOW but it just isn't working in my favor LOL

Thanks Dhes!! Yes very busy but glad that some of it is over. Now we just play the waiting game :(


message 383: by Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 21897 comments Wished you well in another thread, Robin, but I guess doing so again can't hurt! ☺

So neat about the college apps!!! I'm excited for him, LOL!


message 384: by UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Naughty Co-Mod (new)

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 1922 comments If a group is doing a group read, how they set the book so it shows as a group read on the homepage?

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 21897 comments Dhes:

Add a book so it appears at top of Our Home Page.

Make sure the book is added to our bookshelf. If not, choose "Add to Group."

Once the "add Group Book" or the "edit Group Book" box pops up, click on choose shelves and select "to read" if it is upcoming (say, a "Buddy Read") or "currently reading" if we currently are!

Select the appropriate start/stop dates.

Right now, there is no way to edit (shorten) the hyperlink to the discussion thread, so you will just have to put the whole thing in.

P.S. Be advised, if you don't select an end date and you haven't switched it over from "to read" to "currently reading" - it will no show at the bottom of the group page. (Meaning, you can't click on "edit" -- you'll have to go search for it under bookshelves.)


message 387: by Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 21897 comments Every once in a while they have trouble with this feature. A "workaround" is to add the book to the group's bookshelf first... then go in an edit it.

Don't know if it is a problem right now or not.


message 388: by UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Naughty Co-Mod (new)

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 1922 comments Okay, so I have to add the book to the group, first. I've never done that either, but I'll give it a try.

Thanks, Lisa Kay!


message 389: by Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 21897 comments Sure, Dhes! ☺

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 1922 comments Thanks, doll. Your directions did the trick.

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 21897 comments Super, Dhes! ☺


message 392: by Robin (Saturndoo) (new)

Robin (Saturndoo) (robinsaturndoo) I'm excited!!! I have lived in the middle of no where NE in a village of about 650 people for the last couple of years. It is by far a lot different than living in/around the Nashville TN area lol. Today, I had to go to the "big city" which is about 25 miles from me and in another county. I finally got to go in and explore the library there : ) I got a library card and checked out a few books!!! The library in my village is about the size of a small boutique and I have yet to go in it as it is only open 2 days a week for 3 hours a day (2-5). There is another library in my county which is bigger and it is nice but I often can't find the books I am looking for. I am excited to finally have a bigger library to go to and hopefully find some of the more recent books/new releases :)


message 393: by Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother (new)

Pamela(AllHoney) (pamelap) | 14528 comments That's great, Robin. My library isn't big and I heard they have plans to build a bigger building but it got put on hold until they have the funds to do it. There is also a Friends of the Library sale 2 times a week but I haven't found anything I want the last few times I went in.


message 394: by Robin (Saturndoo) (new)

Robin (Saturndoo) (robinsaturndoo) The library in the smaller city always has books for sale and they have more to offer in that area than the larger library I went to today. They have a deal of fill up a bag and pay $1 so I always walk out of there with at least one bag. The library today $0.25 for romance paperback and I think $1 for hardback. I bought 4 paperbacks. It has just been hard to adjust to seeing a book and going to the library and picking it up/putting it on hold TO going in the library and they have no idea what book you are talking about lol

The library I went to today had a nicer, bigger collection but I didn't find a lot of the books I was looking for. Books have gotten a little pricey so I don't buy them like I used to unless I can find them really cheap lol I would rather borrow them because I don't keep books once I read them and it is a chore keeping them all gathered up and lugging them off somewhere as a donation.

I hope the plans go through and you get a bigger library soon :)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 21897 comments Is anyone interested in doing a "buddy read" of I Do, I Do, I Do, by Maggie Osborne? I've read it before; however, I just love this author and I need a book with a title that has a repeated word. Plus, it is perfect for June. Or maybe July, LOL!

message 396: by Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother (new)

Pamela(AllHoney) (pamelap) | 14528 comments I've read it too but if no takers I'll see if I still got it and at least be able to discuss it with you.

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 21897 comments Thanks, Pamela!

One of my libraries has this book and I will read it with you but I probably can't get the book till around the 20th of June unless I go to that library sooner : )


message 399: by Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 21897 comments Not to worry, Robin. I'm still thinking about it. Can I let you know?


message 400: by Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 21897 comments I may not be able to get to it until July! LOL!
