Hi lofters, well it's been a busy week, but I wanted to pop in and see how you are all doing. Nice to catch up.

My friend is with his family now, while he goes through chemo they will take care of him. I am so happy about that for many reasons.

I am catching up on rest, much needed, and getting to things I put off for almost two months while helping my friend.

Summer is lovely, kitties around the house are outside so much, our lot has lots of trees and landscape and they are tigers in the jungle.

Wishing you all a good weekend...

Galahad · 06-28-2013, 07:51 PM

Hope all are well or on the mend. It's a great afternoon here even if it is too hot. I'm looking around me and thinking "I don't need a wife, I need a saintly housekeeper, nurse, therapist". Getting back to the housework.

I don't want a husband.
So what are you offering for this opportunity? Pets welcome? Paid holidays?

Licious · 07-03-2013, 08:31 AM

Hey Lofters,

Came by to see how you all are.

I am slowly catching up on stuff I put off for months while helping my friend. Gee, it feels good to start getting things done again.

Nothing new here, just me, the owner's kitties I help care for, pretty summer by the ocean, pacing myself.

Hope you all have a great 4th!

Galahad · 07-04-2013, 06:06 PM

Slow down for the summer in here too? I've wondered how Ms. Morningstar is. Happy 4th.

sooo how was everyones weekend and 4th??

Sweet Bliss · 07-07-2013, 06:11 PM

Evening y'all... well between the Biblical rain, scrubbing the green pollen off of Grace in said rain, straining my pectoral muscles, and surrounding muscle groups, getting drenched through my Girl Scout undies, missing a nights sleep, and just getting up, I would say I have been a tad busy and tired.

Couple that with stress, weird dreams, indecision, and only my phone to post, I'm a bit out of sorts.

Well anyhoo, enough sharing .... lol ...

.. need to eat something.

Later y'all.

Galahad · 07-08-2013, 11:21 AM

Glad to see we are all checking in safe from the holiday weekend.
Ms. MS, Happy to see you are home even though Mr. Leonard isn't close. It's a little easier to relax and heal at home for me. Taking it easy isn't easy to do.
Lots to get done here, but doing it slowly and carefully kills me. This getting old business is tough.

Sweet Bliss · 07-11-2013, 11:27 AM

Well the monsoon is still here , I got soaked taking the trash to the curb, yes I'm the ofos femme who has to do the ofos butch duties.

Well during the rain yesterday I managed to put up the supports on one side and one on the other. Two more to go and I can start putting up the ceiling insulation. Woooo hoooo! !!! Am so excited about having a cooler RV. If my energy holds up I might be able to finish up other projects.

Hope you are all doing well and having fun. It's almost time for lunch, ttyl!

gaea · 07-11-2013, 01:14 PM

Sitting at the jiffy lube and the fella at the counter kept calling me young lady .....little does he know none the less it made me smile...the flip side of thatis they see me coming a mile away ...

Galahad · 07-19-2013, 05:02 PM

Look at all these cobwebs. Have a nice weekend spiders, and any lofters that peek in.

pamcat · 07-21-2013, 07:22 AM

Hi all,

I haven't been around for a while, and now my uni has finished and I have much more time on my hands I thought I'd drop in more regularly. Just finished a great weekend, went to a Dusty Springfield 50th Anniversary show at the local Entertainment Centre which was real hoot and so much fun. Our weather is starting to warm up, averaging about 21 degrees, and despite a chilly wind today, a glorious late winter day. I hope to be able to get involved in some great chats and discussions, and I hope all are well and for those who aren't travelling to good at the moment, I hope things start to improve, looking forward to some great times in this thread.

Sweet Bliss · 07-21-2013, 12:45 PM

Hello everyone. Just finished a snarky message to leave here for the world to read and promptly hit the back button. So thanks to Divine intervention you won't have to read it today.

Took a fall Friday, after Dr visit, I managed not to do damage to my chest. Am not recovered from latest adventure but should be able to finish second half of ceiling insulation.

I would like to vent, rant and point fingers, but at the end of the day I have to own my choice from last winter. Oh well, do-over. Today is a new day .

Live and let live, yes?

How are you folks doing this gorgeous fine day? Relaxing? Having fun?
Gonna make meatballs for dinner today, any one hungry for meatball sub?

OK need to eat something, see you on the flip side.

Galahad · 07-21-2013, 07:20 PM

Hi Pamcat. Glad to see you around again. Yeah for vacation. Sweet Bliss, I'm so sorry to hear about the fall. This has been quite a year for Lofters having accidents. I miss hearing about your project. What will I fix for dinner? No meat here, but grilled cheese and soup maybe. It's raining right now. So excited, since we get so little. This storm is helping fight the big fire near me.

Sweet Bliss · 07-21-2013, 10:02 PM

What a night. Baby girls were chasing something tonight .... a baby frog .... despite my squealing and laughing I managed to get it and put him outside. Poor thing, hope he is okay now.

Hey Galahad, didn't know anyone was reading my saga about Grace. Maybe tomorrow I can post more information.

True, lots of folks having health issues lately. Am reading very interesting book about healing back pain, well all pain. It's about the mind -body connection. Older book, with huge positive reviews.

Ok past my bedtime, good night.

Sweet Bliss · 07-22-2013, 11:17 AM

Hey y'all, whatcha doing?

Well thought I 'd talk about my projects a bit. Let's see, I finally figured out how to attach the ceiling support. You know the horizontal support. Used 1x2 inside top of window, then attached 1x3 to that. It is at a slight angle so the door skins slide in the gap. Later I will use caulking to seal the remaining gaps. Painted the supports before installing them. Now I have a place to attach curtain rods, etc.

Damn we have a major storm overhead. Heavy rains, lightening, thunder. Sorry, getting distracted ..... gotta go, need warm shirt, am shaking.

Galahad · 07-22-2013, 01:12 PM

I hope you post a photo of Grace someday. I'm trying to imagine the work, but still wonder. Take care of your back. I don't get enough walking in to help mine get stronger. No one here but me to blame so I'd better get up and get moving now.
