[RavenLady]

Greetings to all you Awesome Women of the Battalion!
     It's Saturday and time to kick back and relax with you "Cysters".  We look forward to hearing from all the new folks who have discovered this excellent Forum, where are you from?  How was your Saturday?  Any story behind that sceen name?  Mine comes from the Air Force, the Raven was the mascot of my career field in the air and on the flightline.  Tascha goes by Gatsby after a beloved cat she had for years.  Drop in and I will have the hot tub ready and the beverages flowing!  Mary V.

We are all seem to be complaining about our weight....maybe we should pass on the booze and cheese and get out the synthroid! Maybe that would speed our metabolic rate and help with the little extra around the mid-section!
Nooooo....that's illegal....pass the wine and cheese!
Do we need another hot tub? Can we all fit into this one? Last time I was in one was last December and my wig froze to my head!! How funny that was! Life is such a ride....yeah!
Party hearty Ladies!
Here's to Peace and no hang-overs in the a.m.!

A question, first, for ravenlady.  What are the tip colours in a flame poit siamese.  I have loved siamese since my oldest sister had one that was just a doll.  You hear so many things about siamese cats dispositions but I know that they are not all like that.  My first cat, after marriage, was a part siamese- all white- but the siamese howel and she talked to me.  When she got very ill, at 18 years old, and had to be put to sleep I cried because she felt like my first child.  She was still around when my son was born and she doted on him.
Have a minature schnauzer and two calico cats now.  Never a dull moment.  It is amazing how dogs know when you are not feeling well.  Ours is supposed to be our sons but he sticks to me like glue when I don't feel well.
My husband told me today that he is really happey I found this site.  Since my sister passed away suddenly last year I have not had any other females that I could talk about all these things about.  I miss her every day as we were very close.  You guys help a lot though.  Thanks.

WHOA! You know, I haven't had that checked for, maybe 20 years? My mom has been on Synthroid, I believe it is called, for years.
I should do that. I occurred to me that I still might be anemic too, I quit taking the 300mg of iron after the surgery but maybe I shouldn't have.
OK I will have that checked! Good thinking Detective Debi :) thank you.
Erm....are you gonna eat that cheese ball? Well then HAND IT OVER!!!!

[gah_70]

Hello ladies!  Hope everyone is having a good night.  I helped a friend move today, and that hot tub is looking really good to my poor aching muscles.  I thought I was in better shape than that!  I have a bottle of vodka in the freezer, and some OJ and Midori in the fridge...anyone care for a Melonball?

[DebiR]

Katie do you think your thyroid is OK?  Has it been checked?

[AnotherKatie]

You grew your own watermelon? WOW. Lemme try some.....

[AnotherKatie]

Hi Ya'll, Sorry I am late, I had to go spit nails and tear out my hair for a while. As Mary53 is painfully aware, after I cried on her knowledgable shoulder, I indulged in a mini breakdown this week, guess the lack of hormones caught up to me.
Also I have a sneaking suspicion that all the junk food and booze I have been absorbing from these cyber parties is making me FAT! That MUST be what is doing it, right? What else could be causing my OUTRAGEOUS weight gain??!! (not however in the chest region, sad)
It has been a hard week for some of the ladies here, hasn't it? I feel bad for everybody who has had such a tough time, Sonie, etc. ENOUGH MOPING.... Dian... whatchya got in the bottle there by your right hand?  POUR ME SOME LADY!
Love Katie

[vixen28]

One of each? Sure, here you go! Mmmmmmmm, think I'll join you.

[Mishelle]

Hmmm... In those days I woulda had some of both so here are 2 glasses. LOL

[DebiR]

I am back from my first official outing since surgery - nice to get out and have dinner.  Oh speaking of hair done I did have my hair cut two days after surgery.  I thought it was a big change but no one in my house full of men noticed it.  I gave my dh plenty of grief about that tonight.   I am stuffed with pizza and wine so I will just graze the cyber munchies!

[vixen28]

I've just got back from the nursing home fete where I won two bottles of wine - a Richmond Grove Cabernet Shiraz and a Chardonnay - please pass your glass and tell me your favour? I have also cut up some fresh, crisp watermelon (WE GREW IT!!!), which will go very nicely with a glass of wine! Cheers!

[vixen28]

Hi all! My husband has always been called "fox", and I kinda liked it, so I took on the feminine name as my screen name with the day of my birth. BTW my real name is Beverley! I have 2 english springer spaniels - a mother and son. We bred puppies last year (7 gorgeous pups born 30 May) and kept one. He's the dopey, boisterous, clumsy one!!!

[dian07]

HEY...THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A PARTY...REMEMBER THESE STARTED LIKE THE OLD SLUMBER PARTY!!!
Where is the "boy talk".....who is getting their hair done....who needs nails or toe nails painted???
C'mon.....who has the cheese balls, and wine, or my favorite, Chevas?  
Geeze...you guys still drink that sweet stuff? Oh man...remember the first beer you had back in college?  Let's go ladies....Let That Hair Down....LET'S PARTY!!!
We will seek Peace in the morning......

Congrats on the new car! Very exciting! I am so in need of a new car but not sure where we're going to be living in the fall so I am holding out for more info!
Enjoy your new ride...

[Spicegirl]

Congrats on the new Wrangler - isn't it fun getting a new vehicle.  I just got a new Rendezvous (wasn't quite ready to give up the van so went for a crossover) - I got the red - we always used to go black or navy - go figure.  
I got it a week ago and can't wait to get back behind the wheel.  I have a bit of a heavy foot so have to be careful - my DH is an Ontario Provincial Police Officer so I really have to watch it. Spice

[Mishelle]

Thought I would stop in for a minute. My screen name is just a spelling variation of my middle name. I have two dogs and a cat I love my cat to pieces. He only left my side to eat and go to the litter box when I was sick. I am being "medically treated" for right side cyst but will probably will just get the little monster removed in may whem school is out. I am a special ed teacher asst.and sure enjoy these parties to wind down. The weather here is more Arizona like this week.           Erika

[SNORCHY]

Wow! Sounds very exciting! I can understand the pride you have in your name, and proud you should be! Thanks for sharing!

[SNORCHY]

What did you do exactly in avionics?

[SNORCHY]

Congratulations on the actual ownership of your dog! Very sweet husband!
I have three cats...all were strays that knew a softie when they saw one! They are great pets despite the constant hairball situations!

[lumeli]

Hello everyone,

I just noticed the cyber party has started.  Well, my screen name is a combination of the first 3 letters of my mom and my brother's name.  I lost my father while studying in the US 7 years ago and my mom and brother were all i had left so I use this screen name for many purposes now.  Of course, I  now have a wonderful husband in my life for 4 years.  I did not do much today.  Hubby had gotten me an appt for a hair makeover so I enjoyed that.  Came back home and took a nap.  The weather has been so nice here ( I live in San Diego if I never mentioned that before), so we may take a short walk before sunset.  Life is slowly getting back to normal.  I go back to work on Monday.  I am not too worried about it, since I already did some work from home on Friday so there is not a big pile of reports to do.  Anyways, not much else to report on my day.  I guess my life right now is quite boring.  Just wanted to say hi to everyone.  I wonder how Rainbow is doing? I know she had herv surgery on Friday.  

Love,

Alba

Hi Girls - wasn't sure if I would feel up to joining tonight, but I'm so darn happy that everything turned out so well - I just had to say hi.
My screen name is kind of corny.  My last name is Sinnamon (hence Spice Girl).  I grew up with family nickname of Peppermint Patty - so I went from peppermint to Spice.   My father who is 68 still calls me peppermint. (I'm the family favourite can you tell!.
No pets here - we had a cat for 14 years that just died a few months ago - my teenage daughter wants a new one, but we just aren't home enough to look after another pet. And I hate to be selfish - but I enjoy the freedom of not having one.  Sort of like kids leaving the nest.

[Mary 53]

Hi again, glad you appreciated the dog story. Well, Maddie is mine now since my husband handed her certificate...hmmm,is it title? well, anyway, on New Years Eve of 01 he handed this piece of paper to me and said, "Here, you need to be her owner..the way she never left your side while you were recovering was unreal."  However, when I looked at the paper, I thought...oh my...are we getting a THIRD DOG??? Don't get me wrong...two dogs are great, but I could just imagine me walking three big dogs at once..grooming three, playing with three... you get the picture. Then I realized he was giving me Maddie...Sweet.

My screen name is terribly normal. I was born in 53. Nice party!

[SNORCHY]

Your dogs sound wonderful! I mean...your husband's and daughter's dogs!!

[Mary 53]

Hey women! I am so busy posting I almost forgot to stop by the party.

Are we talking about pets? I have two wonderful Golden Retreivers. Two girls and they are sisters, one is 10 and the other is 9. They are the best. Technically, our daughter is the official owner of Maya, the oldest one. And, then my husband wanted to be the official owner of Maddie, the 9 year old. Of course, as you can imagine...Mom here did all the work!...but had no official ownership, so to speak.

Then, while I was recovering from my surgery for ovarian cancer in Sept/Oct. of 2000, I swear those dogs did not leave my side. The older one always put her head on my ankles as she laid perpendicular to me on the bed and the other one, Maddie, just snuggled by my side sometimes with her head on my pillow. Unbelievable.

My husband and I give each other gifts on New years (it's the day we met) and that year he gave me Maddie...officially. He said he had never seen such bonding animal to human. We all take naps together...same arrangement with Maya at my ankles and Maddie on my pillow. Thanks for indulging me...I love my dogs. Mary
