Summer Plans?

[Danielle]

What is everyone up to? going anywhere?


Obviously we're staying put, Dan will keep this temp job up as long as possible..

I will get away for a week-end to Blue Mountain at some point.

Other than that lots of gardening, I have been ripping shrubs out and moving stuff around, so I will continue to concentrate on that.

And I am on a painting wood kick, I have some very old pieces I am painting in very light greens and blues...

I have also started back exercising ( at home not a gym anymore) and hope to continue to improve my fitness and lose my third ass cheek

[Scoops]

Cape Cod for us in July....my sister is laid off, so probably down to her house (pool) for swimming ....other than that we are wide open.

[Mia]

Dani, you want us to come visit and that's why you're asking?

If my Dad stays healthy and everything works out.....am not going to DisneyWorld, but Cuba!
The papers for my visa have been submitted and Fidel is investigating me as I type.

[sam king cat]

I have fallen in love with sedem.

Can't get enough of it.

[Skeeter]

We're going to the beach!!! Three weeks and counting!!! :)

Other than that, the fair (of course), camps, the zoo, and maybe a little weekend jaunt somewhere to keep the economy moving! :)

I think it might be time to change my avatar back to the beach house :)

[Danielle]

I think I remember you mentioning that Skeeter can't remember where you are going but I remember the pic was gorgeous hope you have a great relaxing time

[sam king cat]

Yeah, pink cauliflower buds. They probably have white varieties as well.

I cannot remember the ones that I have recently purchased but I did keep the little ID cards that came with the perrenials.

I find them to be very hardy - I like their come to life in the cooler fall months when most other things have died.

Good to hear you are gettin' on the fitness wellness track D :)

[MikeRotch]

I really want to go to Cancun. A lot of my friends are going on trips and it's pretty much a NO for me. I'm not even bothering to ask more than once.

Some friends are driving to Alaska and I thought about going but I don't know if I can pull off pretending to be at a friends for that long. lol

Others are going to the Smoky Mountains and I want to do that too.

We always go to Jekyll Island once or twice during the summer but I don't know about this year....we have a lot of conflicting schedules and my dad is not home so who knows.


It will mostly be classes...work...and the lake on weekends. Maybe some short road trips to Atlanta with friends before I move. Ho hum but nice. :]

[Danielle]

I stopped in Cancun on a flight home from Cozumel once Mike...that was years ago it was more of a party place while Cozumel was quieter lay on the beach and shop..

I am not sure how old you are and don't get mad but I can't blame your parents for not being ready to let you go yet, we just went through it with Jess

Just honestly remember we don't say no to ruin your life, honest! just out of love

[gossamer]

playa del carmen, mexico is a cool place.

[sam king cat]

I loved Cancun. I was there before the hurricane wiped it out. Surely the resorts are back.

As much as the turquoise clear waters of the cancun beaches were pristine - the snorkeling was superior in Cozumel.

Not doing much of anything but Physical Therapy. My total knee replacement is going to be July 13 so that sort of keeps me in town for a while. Hoping to get down to North Carolina also but maybe not until sometime in Sept or Oct.

Otherwise, day trips to the coast, the mountains, including Yosemite, San Francisco; all cooler climates than this hot valley in summer.

************************************************** *********

I now have two bulging discs, L4 L5, and a moderate annular fissure in S1. Hurts SO bad, Seriously debilitating. The only thing that relieves the pain is laying flat on the floor, on my back. Takes the pressure off those discs. I have had 3 cortizone epidural injections, and a medium branch block, where they go in and singe the nerve endings. OMG still hurting, threw it out on Saturday. I layed in the floor the entire holiday weekend,and then more so on Tuesday. The docs have told me to ice it every thirty minutes. I'm just tired of being in pain, ALL THE TIME....I can't deal with it,because I have a family to take care of , clean up after, cook for, etc...plus I take way too many pain pills every day, just to get me through hour by hour.

[KaliChris]

Oh geez, Jules, I'm sorry to hear that!

[Scoops]

sounds really tough Jules....I am amazed at what you get accomplished through the pain.

((((((soothing hugs))))))))

[KaliChris]

Jules, the only thing that got me through it was laying on a heating pad; do you ever do that? Mine was my lower back.

[Jules]

The heating pad does feel good, but the docs say it inflames the muscles around the spine, so it's worse for you , in the long run.

I get through it. I cry alot, Can't do anything else, sure as hell can't off myself just to end the pain....


:*(

[KaliChris]

That's what they had me do once we found out I was pregnant and couldn't take the muscle relaxants anymore. Hmmmm...

I sure hope they find a solution for you, Jules. It sounds really bad. Do you have the sciatica too? I hated that. :/

[Jules]

No, don't have the sciatica, no pain in either of my legs....it's just solely centered around the base of my spine, in more detailed terms (lol)...right above my butt crack and three inches out on either side.

Ouch! I know how hard it is to sit in a chair and get up when it's the lower back. I don't know how you're working a desk job. :/

[Jules]

I have a lumbar support chair and a big old rubber blue ice bag....i'm leaning against it right now.

[KaliChris]

Wow; that's a lot of adjustments you have to make just to work. I feel for you.

Thank you. My last step would be back surgery,but I've heard nothing but terrible stories about that....

[biff725]

Malibu is nice this time of year.

[KaliChris]

Have you tried that procedure where they use opoids for back pain?

Happy, you're right about Malibu; we lived a half hour from there when I was a kid and that's where we spent a lot of our time in summer!

[Jules]

Haven't heard of that. But i do have an electrode machine, that has these pads that adhere to my back, and i can adjust the levels of electrodes that pulse, and the frequency...it's like a muscle stimulant....it helps, but sometimes makes the muscles tighter, when they need to be relaxed, not stimulated.

Sedum is a very hardy thick rubbery leaved succulent perrenial garden plant that survives well in terrible conditions such as drought or floods and just keeps on performing.

LOL Maybe you didn't mean to write it this way: "Popular hens & chicks are part of the sedum family." Did you mean popular WITH? LOL

The catus produce freaked you out? You should visit Arizona sometime. Cacti everywhere.

Hens and Chicks are the plants in SKC's avatar.
I have seen them planted in the planters with the holes in the sides.

Now that you and Beach drew me a map...lol Okay, now I get it!

We've had hens and chicks growing on our rock wall in front. I knew what you were talking about Sam.

[sam king cat]

*sigh*

Did anyone happen to ask KC if she worked a triple shift ?

*snark*

LOL

.....or posting from work - you know all those work related interuptions can set you back :)

?

[KaliChris]

I was at home and hadn't worked the night before. lol I seriously had never heard of such a thing.

[KaliChris]

I have more plans for summer now; got a new summer hangout. :)

I'm so excited, you'd think I bought it, but anyway, my niece and her husband just bought a huge seven bedroom, six bathroom two-story Spanish-style house with a swimming pool and the whole bit. We're going to be having a swimming/barbeque party there soon, just for the family. I intend to spend lots of time there; actually, I've threatened to move in. We all have. lol

Ya know, sometimes if you go back to the beginning of some of these posts and just read, it is really entertaining. This one goes from vacations, to planting broccoli hearts, to hens and Chicks, to eating cactus and seal eart's and then right back to vacation. Oh yeah, there is a little bit about Zippy's neighbors BBQ'ing also. I love it!!!!

Next weekend is:

Safety Camp with the Cops... for boys Club.

Going to go get 10$ Punch Cards for the COOL POOL... its a ONe day only 75% Discount for the poor kids.. its an outdoor fun pool only a few blocks from us.

ALso its 2$ day at the Zoo.. but, I have a feeling we wont have the GAS money to go.
Its a couple hours drive.

Also they are showing Robin Hood at the OUtdoor Theater.. the free one.

I am sure we will get to the REAL Drive in at least a couple times this summer.
They show two Really GREAT first run movies for 18$ a car.. PLUS gas money, its 40 minutes away.

(what I do is think up Package Ideas, Charge a fee to who ever is going, and usually I can get most of it paid for... and everything thinks its a great deal at the same time.)

Then in Sept... GOTTTA be on the Lake for Labor Day. ITS THE BEST time for the LakE!

Oh, we're notorious for changing subjects around here. I think though that Sam's answer to what her summer plans were was that she loves sedum or whatever that broccoli plant was. lol

Girl,

Yes, I've been going to physical therapy for almost a year now and sometimes it helps, other times I think he's just torturing me for the pure joy of it....plus he farts while it's in session, so that's never good.

I have another appt. with my pain management doc on Thursday of this week....and they are waiting on another round of injections to be approved, so we'll see how that goes.

Thank you for asking.

[gossamer]

[girl]

I'm going to Hawaii .. August 13 to 18..

I'm still kinda in denial about it.. but I better snap out of it cuz its a happening like soon.

I think october would be a better time to go since it would be cooler?

[gossamer]

[Jules]

I would LOVE to go to Hawaii. I've never been.

Now I'm sad.

[gossamer]

[Jules]

I wish I could talk Mr. Jules into going.. He doesn't like to fly. Said if "you can't get there by driving, don't need to go"....lol, what a copout.

[gossamer]

sounds like brina she's scared to fly, she likes to have her feet on the ground so i'll take one of my daughters i guess or when the time comes if i get the a-ok from doctor to fly i'll find someone ,maybe call my old flame teri and see if she wants to go again i took her last time on a plotonic (think i have that right) relationship which didn't work that way in hawaii.

[Jules]

Hawaii is too romantic for a Platonic Relationship! It was bound to happen, and you know it. Probably planned it that way *giggle*

[gossamer]

not me ...teri did when we returned she was like now that were a couple again ..i went whoooo nelly we ain't a couple lady you got a free trip to hawaii and well ^&%$#@*&^%$

[Jules]
