Petra

Gonna go hot tub shopping. AHHHHHH! :)

ScottInPA and the QuitTrain bike ride adventures. lol Scott was a good support during my early quit days. :)

Just remembered who Dog is!!! :) How could I forget? Dog and Bat are the only ones of which we haven't seen real pix. :) HMMM?

I'm not sure about Dog and Bully. I know the rest, but noticed I am not listed. :angry: lol An ex boyfriend used to call me Prime Time (after Deion Sanders, cuz my real name rhymes with Neon). That was my all time favorite nickname, and he was the only one who ever used it. :) My Dad had a tone of nicknames for me. Ace was my favorite from him. Seven year old me told him I liked that one, and he should call me that all the time. It made him chuckle. It didn't stick too much, but enough to get me through grade school. Sure loved my Daddy! :) My Mom called me Petra or PetraD. On occasion, she still will, but usually it's Donna-K (also from childhood) even though my name isn't Donna and there are no K's in my name. :) Bakon tried to call me a flip flopper, but some of my shoes are just too pretty (I do love my flippies though!).

YAY PRETTY GEM!!!! You rock!!! Way to enter that marriage smoke free!!! We've come a long way!! So happy for you in so many ways!!! :)

YAY JENG!!!! You Rock!!!

NOPE! :)

I miss Anna 2013! She was from the "other" site. We had so much fun in Chat. That Girl would stay up until wee hours in the morning to party with us! I miss fun chat parties! :)

I remember a piece of the Babs' dream being about independence and strength. The dream was like, "Wow, I am strong alone, but I need the ones I love too - even when it's not all chocolate and flowers." Like a person seeing how strong they were inside, but with others there by their side. Funny how things on our minds come out in our dreams. :) lol - Also being that it was a dream, I remember flying around and flowers & stuff - think Roman mythology - Aprhodite and Dionysos - or Game of Thrones - Light version - haha. I'm not even a hippy! haha. :)

I have had dreams about The Sarge more than once. I think he reminds me of my husband sometimes. They have some similarites - but distinct differences as well. lol I have dreamed of others too, but I forget now. :)

My stove light is out. I think I may be anemic cuz all I wanna do is sleep lately - blood test tomorrow.

Been thinking of you, Bakon.

yep - last night. Don't remember it exactly, but there she was! Sorry Sonic - not that kind dream!

pumpkin spice flavored thongs!!!….WHY GOD WHY!!!???? hahaha!!!

Elton is cool for sure!!! I love the song Empty Garden because even though it was about John Lennon, it reminds me of my Dad who used to take care (sometimes not very good care, but that is beside the point right now - lol) of our back yard. He made this little rock path, and well, anyway.... My dad died of cancer at the young age of 56 from - you guessed it - smoking! and the line "It's funny how one insect can damage so much grain" to me represented cancer damaging such an awesome person (my Daddy). Anyway..... Sorry to be Petra Downer - just emphasizes what a great musical artist Elton is and how music can touch our lives in different ways. :) Loved all those songs you all mentioned too - and Piano Man and ......

Thinking of you Babs.

Keep me posted. :) If you are here for more than an hour (Bakon!!!), I'm sure we can make something work. :)

Depending on which side of Colorado Springs you are on, I am 45-60 minutes away. We definitely have to meet up!!! I can drive down there easily. Around when are you coming?

Petra is pissed cuz you totally stood her up. :) JK. It's all good. I slept in that Saturday morning. Didn't have to get my strappy sandals on so early - my feet needed a rest anyway! :)

My bet is the worst round golfing is better than the best day drinking... but I'm not really sure cuz I have never golfed, and I've had some really great times drinking that I don't really remember. I did go "camping" a couple of weeks ago (we stayed in a cabin - lodge served food, shared bath house had hot showers). I had a mostly alcohol free camping trip. It was pretty refreshing. :) For the record - I have tent camped too on many occasions. This is the first time we have had a cabin. I'll take it any day. nice soft bed, escape from weather if any. We could cook inside had we wanted to. Shared bathrooms/showers though. :( I'm getting old and spoiled i guess. :)

Bakon - My feet are clean and gorgeous! Perhaps you would have gotten this straight if you had stopped to see them with your own eyes. However..... you choose to ride through Denver and skip my feet all together. It's cool though. What-evs. I ain't mad or nuthin.

Still with us Val?? You got this, Girl!

Happy One Year!!!! We love our Dental Floss!!!

Tricky part is they lure you in first. If you take the bait, they will befriend you while it suits their needs. If you don't take the bait, they will do what they can to destroy you.

He rode through Colorado over the weekend. The Dog Breath stood me up in Denver. Expected me to be all polished toes & strappy sandals at 8 am on a Saturday morning. I'm just waking up at that time on a Saturday!
