Good morning Lounge

[MissHoneychurch]

How are you today?

First things first.
Tomorrow there won't be a "Good morning" thread. I have my surgery on the toe at 11am and when I get home I will be laying on my couch and not sitting on my computer.
Monday there will be a "Good morning" thread. But I have to go to a work shop in the afternoon and won't be able to attend my thread.
Tuesday should be back to normal :)

So today is my last work day for this week :woohoo:

Sheba, one of AirmensMom's cat gave her a big scare yesterday. I am really glad she came home and everyone is more than relieved now. Of course AirmensMom is grounding her for the rest of the week. But also she is grounding my baby Simon, who likes to stay outside very long as well. Me thinks I have to have a word with this young man.


Picture of the Day

[Road Scholar]

1. Good morning!

I hope everything goes well with your toe surgery. Just relax, take the long weekend break and enjoy it.
I'll be thinking about you.
Prez.:hi: :loveya: :pals:

[MissHoneychurch]

2. Good morning Road_Scholar

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

Thank you so much.

That is what I will do. Relaxing. Will go groceries shopping today after work, then I don't have to leave the house over the weekend :)

How are you doing?

[Road Scholar]

5. I'm doing well.

Just counting the days 'till I can go fishing. I've got all the down riggers and out riggers all ready and waiting. My little boat thinks I forgot her, I guess. I havem't had her in the water in months.
We've had beautiful weather here lately. The water is getting warmer and the spainish mackerel and Mahi will be gathering up close to shore.Yayyyyy!:bounce: :loveya: :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

6. Oh nice

Will you eat your catched fish?

I don't eat fish. Even though - as you know - I love shellfish. Go figure.

But I bet it is gorgeous to sit in the boat in a beautiful area. Are you going fishing at the ocean or in a river?

[Road Scholar]

7. Oh yes I always do.

I'm not a commercial fisherman, I just love to catch and share them. I enjoy cooking so that works out pretty well.A few friends laugh at my cooking thermometers, timers etc. You don't eat fish? Do you have a reason, or just don't like the taste? I bet I could cure that.
I not even gonna try to explain the sunrise on the ocean when I go out early. God saved that just for me, the seagulls and the dolphins. :loveya: :pals:

[MissHoneychurch]

9. Sure not laughing about your cooking equipment

since I love to cook myself and have some toys too :)

I just don't care for the taste of fish. I try it but I just don't get any joy out of it. Does that make sense?

You just want to make me jealous, dontcha?

[Road Scholar]

10. LOL no I don't want to make you jealous, but

I do want you to have a nice weekend.
Later,
The prez:loveya: :pals:

[Road Scholar]

8. That is a beautiful picture by the way. Did you take it? I like

pictures of outdoor things like that. Things most people don't notice.

[MissHoneychurch]

13. Yes, I took it

in TN actually. I felt very brave to get that close to the spider to take the picture :)

[Heidi]

3. Good morning!

Sending you good vibes for your upcoming surgery! And I'm soooooooooooooo happy that Sheba's home now and that AirmensMom has peace of mind. :)

:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

4. Good morning Heidi

Thank you.

And thank you for supporting AirmensMom. She was so worried. I was too. The support of the Loungers helped her a lot. :hug:

[Eurobabe]

11. Surgery again???

You poor baby. :hug: :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

14. Good morning Eurobabe

the toe got infected again. I don't take any chances anymore. So I let the surgeon have its fun with it again tomorrow.

Thanks for the hugs. :hug:

[Eurobabe]

27. Awwww jeez

so sorry sweetie. {{{{hugs}}} You've had really tough luck with that toe. Sending you healing vibes. :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

29. Thank you!!

I know, it is like a curse. No idea why it continues to give me troubles.

I had the other side of the toe done in the U.S. while I was a nanny. Should have let that surgeon do this side too. I never had any problems with the side the American surgeon did.

[Eurobabe]

71. Hmmmm, yes I've got Aulanderkrankenversicherung now

it was only 10e for the whole year!

[SalmonChantedEvening]

12. Good Morning MissHoneychurch! Welcome back Sheba :)

:hi: :hug: :loveya: :pals:

Hooray for the happy ending to AirmensMom, and vibes for your surgery going smoothly.

Couch yourself and know I'll be thinking of you. :)

Listen to her Simon kthnx.

[MissHoneychurch]

15. Good morning SCE

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Yes, hooray for AirmensMom and Sheba. I was so relieved when she told me that Sheba showed up. Losing a furbaby that way is just horrible.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

16. I'd lose it if Daisy went missing.

I know it's different with cats, but I'd be a panicked mess if she ever got loose and got lost.

:scared:

Oh, I spent half the day on the road yesterday, the deliveries left me no choice. Today I'm already scheduled to head to NJ, and from there who knows.

[MissHoneychurch]

17. Oh absolutely

it drives you nutz to not know where your furbaby is.

Oh, so it wasn't only phone service yesterday. :)

[Callalily]

18. Good morning MissH!

Great picture! I love taking closeups, but I'm not all that great at it.

Wishing you success with your surgery. Maybe after grocery shopping, do a little extra cooking so you just have to heat things up to eat. Take it real easy. You know, you still have that daunting task of breaking in your couch. ;)

I did not know that Sheba caused AirmensMom such a scare. Glad Sheba returned safe and sound. My cat (when I had one) had a few adventures like that, so I know first hand the angst that can cause.

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

20. Good morning Callalily

Here is the thread about Sheba http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=8594957&mesg_id=8594957

That is what I plan. Cook me a big pot of pasta tonight so I can eat the left overs the next few days :D

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[Callalily]

22. Thanks for sharing that thread.

It is heartwarming reading all the supportive threads to AirmensMom. And never underestimate the power of Lounge vibes!

I love the pic of Sheba asleep on the white blanket.

Pasta is a nice comfort food and easy to reheat, great choice. Will be thinking of you tomorrow and sending prayers for a successful surgery and a speedy recover.

My weekend actually starts tomorrow. Heading up north for the weekend with a bunch of friends. I really need this time off.

:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

25. Yes, Lounge vibes are the best

they work magic :)

Ohhh .... that sounds like a wonderful weekend!! How far north will you go?

[Callalily]

37. Couple hundred miles.

We drive up, taking our time, with several stops (breakfast for one) along the way. Yes, it will be fun.

Gotta head out for work now. Again, wishing you the best with your surgery tomorrow, and I know that you'll heed the doc's advice and take it easy.

Wishing you a great day!

:hug:

[malta blue]

19. Good morning MissH!!!

((((((((((vibes))))))))

I hope this will be the last time you have to deal with this. And that your recovery time is short and painless.

And Tuesday we are back to normal.... I fly to VA this afternoon. It's supposed to rain the entire time I am there :( but I was promised movies and snuggling on the couch, so that makes up for the pain I will have from the weather, which I will try to hide.

I am going to try to get to the art museum though, if only for the architecture. I hope to get some good pictures....

:bounce: that Sheba is home. Perhaps a grounding is best for them.....

I had coyotes in the yard last night!! The predators are getting very hungry and kittehs and small dogs like mine are the perfect snack ....

Have a great rest of your day. I have to pack...

:hug::loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

21. Good morning malta

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Oh yay!!! I wish you a wonderful time in VA!!!!

I might have to give you a call Tuesday or Wednesday, or? :evilgrin:

[malta blue]

23. That would be great either night!!!

I really REALLY am hoping your toe is resolved tomorrow....

[MissHoneychurch]

24. OK, it is a deal then

we decide Tuesday which day I will call :)

I hope so too with my toe. It gets annoying.

[AirmensMom]

26. Good morning, MissHC!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

I'm actually rested this morning ... considering it's the first time all week that a little kitty hasn't gone off and scared me. Sheba hasn't left my side. I think maybe she was running away from something all night long. Poor little thing.

Great pic, even though I don't like spiders.

Good luck on your surgery. I really do hope they get it right this time. :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

28. Good morning AirmensMom

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

I am really so relieved that Sheba's advenure had a positive outcome. And you two have now bonded :D Have you told harleydad?

I took the pic at your old house in TN. Yes, this spider lived near you :P

[AirmensMom]

30. Yes, I did.

And at first he was wondering why I hadn't told him before, but then he realized that it would have only worried him and there wasn't a thing he could do about it. So then he was glad I didn't tell him until we had her back. ;)

I thought I recognized it. :rofl: Probably has lots of relatives at that old house. What a spidery house! :scared:

[MissHoneychurch]

31. I bet he was glad

that you could tell him everything is fine. You worried enough for both of you :hug:

[AirmensMom]

35. Yes, but I told him that FIRST THING.

I said, "First, it turned out fine, so don't worry ... Sheba didn't come home last night." And he said, "Whaaaaattttt????" Then I told him the whole story and he was sorry I worried by myself, but then I told him my friends helped me through it and I wasn't alone at all. :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

36. Awww that is sweet of him

that he worried that you were worrying while being alone.

[AirmensMom]

42. Yeah ...

:loveya:

C is here, but he doesn't need me. So I can stay a little longer. :bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

45. YAY

:woohoo:

[AirmensMom]

50. They're doing stuff

that doesn't make homework for me. :bounce: So I think I'll clean the upstairs today. Mozart died young, right after his warranty expired, so I have to do actual cleaning until iRobot decides to do something about it. :shrug:

[MissHoneychurch]

55. Guess we named Mozart correctly

:rofl:

[AirmensMom]

70. True!

:rofl: And I remember you said you hoped he wouldn't quite prematurely ... but he did, just weeks after the warranty expired. x(

[blueraven95]

33. Good Morning, AirmensMom!

:hug:


Is Sheba behaving this morning?

[AirmensMom]

43. Good morning, blueraven!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Yes, she's perfect. She woke up every hour or so last night to purr and cuddle. :loveya:

[blueraven95]

48. good!

she must have really scared herself. :hug:



Got anything exciting going on today?

[AirmensMom]

51. I'm thinking that.

Yeah, I might actually get a chance to clean the house. :rofl:

The outside is done and looking great. Today they're working on ceilings. :bounce:

[blueraven95]

52. That's awesome!

They are really making progress. :bounce:

[AirmensMom]

53. Definitely.

There's still plenty to do, make no mistake about that! But we're definitely on the right track. :bounce:

Now, if I can pull myself away and clean. OK, not yet. :rofl:

[blueraven95]

59. hey, take a morning off

You've been really busy :-)

[AirmensMom]

69. I know,

but my Roomba died so it's really getting pretty bad. :(

[Callalily]

39. Good morning AirmensMom!

Heard about your Sheba's escapades. Sometimes our cats can cause us such great angst. Glad that she's back safe and sound.

Gotta head out for work now but wanted to stop by and say howdy.

Give Sheba an extra hug from me.

Wishing you a great day.

:hug:

[AirmensMom]

44. Good morning, Miss Lily!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Yes, she definitely caused great angst. But I don't think she did it intentionally. All is forgiven. :loveya:

I'll deliver your hug. Have a great day! :hug:

[blueraven95]

32. Good Afternoon, MissH!

Good luck with the surgery, and have a good weekend recovering! :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

34. Good morning blueraven

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

Thank you!! I am sure I will be back to work on Monday.

What do you think? Is that picture something for the calendar?

[blueraven95]

38. sure

you should submit it when I get the submission process up an running again.

[MissHoneychurch]

46. I will

but do you think people want to look at a spider for a whole month?

[blueraven95]

47. I don't know

it's a tough call. I say let people vote on it and see what happens.

[MissHoneychurch]

54. I like the picture

the colors of it.

[blueraven95]

61. I like it too

but I like spiders, so I don't know how much of a good judge I am on this one. :shrug:

The colors are awesome!

[MissHoneychurch]

64. I will enter it for sure

but also some other pictures. I love to be in the calendar :D

[blueraven95]

66. I really think this theme is going to be fantastic

so many of the pictures already being tossed around as possibles are great.

[MissHoneychurch]

68. I love the theme

it will be a gorgeous calendar again and a bit different from the last two ones. Thank you so much for putting all the effort in it. If you need help please let me know.

[Brewman_Jax]

40. G'day, MissH

:hi: :hug:

Glad the cat has returned home. :woohoo:

You get to take a break--kick back on the couch. :boring:

[MissHoneychurch]

41. Good morning Brewman

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Everyone is glad about the save return of Sheba.

I admit I am looking forward to a long lazy weekend and that I have an excuse for it :D

[Brewman_Jax]

49. Looks like a dreary weekend here

and just in time for the St. Patrick's Day parade, in which the renfest cast will march. Last year was cancelled due to weather. Looking forward to this year.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

56. Hello Miss Hc

Great Pic of a Writing Spider. That is what we call them. I don't know their real name.

I knew Sheba would come home. Poor Simon. I am not sure if ArimensMom is being entirely fair to her children ;) I know how she feels though.

Both of my boys were out all night. They are eating breakfast and I bet they will sleep all day. They act like a couple of teenagers :eyes: :D

I hope all goes well with the toe. I must have missed the thread where you tell what is wrong with it. :shrug:

[MissHoneychurch]

60. Good morning Tuesday

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

I felt confident too. And I tried to lend that confidence to AirmensMom.

Your boys ARE teenagers :D

[Tuesday Afternoon]

65. Yes,

I told her as much when I called her. I think it helped. Sheba came home shortly after that. I bet she is pouting today :D

Check your PM.

[MissHoneychurch]

67. Sheba is Miss Perfect today

:rofl:

Your call definitely helped. :hug:

[seaker]

57. Good morning to you too

Thank you for your update. I hope all will be well. Good vibes.:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

62. Good morning seaker

:hi:

Thank you!! I want it to be over with and not to be troubled by it again.

And Sheba ... of course I had to give an update.

[Sky Masterson]

58. Good Morning MissH

Good luck with your poor toe. :hug: :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

63. Good morning Sky

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Thank you!
