Ok im caught up Sandy.. Darn hard running with 2 hats on girl !! Hope u have the battery fully charged on that scooter hun .. Got the dark clothes on anyhow Shanen, witches always wear black !! Trysha keep calm and discrete dont want them to get wind of the great escape hun.. Carol if we come across any guards we need you to stun them with your gorgeousness in that outfit ok? Boys we may need you to carry the dead bodies to a hiding place after Carol has stunned them. All ready now Trysha here we come girl ....
 
Do you have pet Bison Shanen......they must eat a lot....they are awe inspiring animals...
Would not like to get on the wrong side of them

:lol: Bison is the name of a local college mascot.

Are you ready for us?

I kid you not, my crazy neighbor/friend posted this pic of her and her "boyfriend" bison at Yellowstone Natl Park just a week or two ago. You should have seen the comments she got about lucky she was to still be alive. And she is. Bison are powerful, dangerous animals. And can run short distances at 35-55 mph. No wonder your team won, Shanen. (North Dakota State? )

Yes to NDSU Sandy. And the bison are very large animals. Certainly nothing I'd have enough curiosity about to want to be so close to.
 
I'm quite exhausted catching up,so will take a quick win then go and make a cuppa to recuperate.Must keep my strength up.....
 
good idea Carol, we need all our strenghth to release Trysha from the hospital, our mission must suceed ....
hope every1 is good today or at least better x
 
Imagine the fun the Christmas party could be...:ylol2: :ylol2: :ylol2:

I have a feeling a few of us would act like cheap drunks without the booze anyway (and yes, I'm speaking for myself. ) :ylol2:

My doc has my surgery scheduled for first thing Wednesday morning. Be prepared to break me out also if I have to stay more than a few hours. The plan at this point is out patient surgery though. Yay!

I'm happy to cook for all and sundry. Sorry for being quiet, I'm not known for that. Happy to wear black. I can abseil peeps out the window and lower you all down if it's multi story. Single story we can open the window or door and climb or walk out. I'm great on belay.
 
I'm doing ok Mandy, no word from that second lot of tests as yet. So I've been working doing chores and packing.
 
Oh blimey they are taking their time hun,must do your head in 😠. Oh yes i had forgot you were on the move 🏡 that will have kept you busy. Hope your winning with that hun. Im on my way to work just waiting for my 2nd bus . You take care n see you at the great escape caper 😚 p.s. i eat a lot by the way so cook up a veritable feast girl 😀
 
Have just put a pan of pea and ham soup on (the stove)so can you bake the bread for dunking Kirsty ? Trysha,any special dietry requests ?
SANDY.....best wishes for tomorrow,it'll soon be over.x
 
Kirsty, I'm sure glad you appeared again. It gets worrisome when people go awol. The guys are like spoiled children, they don't realize when they are worrying their mother, and come and go as they please. Today Kirst, do you have any clear soups or gelatines you can make for me? I'm afraid it's liquids and laxatives for me today. Just short of a colon prep for colonoscopy. Grrrr. :voodoo: Save me some of that bread, tho because Carol is right, it will be over soon, and then all of you can I'll have a little reprieve from me. Maybe. I tend to talk in my sleep at times.:ybiggrin:
 
The soups delish.if I do say so myself.Other than boasting about my culinary prowess I have nothing more to add.....except I'm winning and since we put the clocks back at the week-end,it's dark tonight at 5-15pm.
 
Hey Doug nice to see you mate ☺
keep your motor running, we are nearly ready now. Im just finalising the get out & away route, by the way it's a 😈ish plan. If i say so myself x
 
Last post for today most likely. But maybe not. I like to see all of you on your toes. :biggrin:Trev may not be on his toes exactly, but at least he is here. Trev, you can drive the "jazzy chair" (electric wheelchair) in as you look tired. Good to see you tho, friend. :hug:
Ron, hang in there. You will be an expert on dealing with difficult doctors by the time this is all over. (So will most of you. ) We need Robert to show up with his cigar smoke screen and Dave with his guard dogs. But we'll go ahead with or without. Trysh, hope your feeling a little better. :kiss:
I can't wait to see Carol in action. Mandy, keep us up to date. Kirsty and Carol, the soup is delicious, and I'm not even hungry.
But when it comes right down to it, I'm winning for now. :)
 
My last dibes at a win, 😴time now.
Will do Sandy my old mucker will do 😀
✋trev keep well mate
Ron hope you are 👌
Love n hugs to all x
 
Shanen and Grumpy, you're so quiet in your spy duties, i forgot to mention you. :ack: 💛💚💜You must be doing a really good job. Please keep all family members (mothers) in their proper places and report when you can. Over and out. Zzzzz 😴
 
Store your energy everyone while Sandy takes care of business. We will regroup when she's ready. Sleep well Mandy. Sorry Carol but I'll need to pass on your lovely soup. I love peas and ham but not when you combine them for soup.
 
Hi all thanks Shanen had a good sleep but now back on the plan. Nearly there should b ready when Sandy is ☺
best of luck sandy xx
love to all n trysha hang in there hun x

It's a traditional Northern England soup.
Root veg,onion,split peas and cubed raw ham.cooked gently for 2-3 hrs,then blended.Serve with suet dumpling or crusty bread.
 
Sounds fabulous. Until you blend it. I don't know why but it's probably about the texture after its blended. It's a family favorite and they don't get me either.
 
I'm not fussy on veg,so if I blend it I can't see it, so it's not there.

Quick win then I'm going to catch up on the reading
 
Sandy,I'm sending happy thoughts to you.It will be over before you know it. Bless you xxx:ghug::ghug::ghug:
 
Hi carol that sounds good can u post me some plz 😆 hope ur ok hen 👄
Hi shanen oh well it is each to their own as they say 😉 hope ur well too hen.💋
Sandy dont give them any trouble n they will let u home quickly ☺ best wishes hun n best of luck god bless 💋
 
Hi, honeys, I'm home! I could feel all your well wishes and prayers from here, I kid you not (or is it the drugs? Hehe.) They released me early for good behavior (but I didn't tell them everything. )
Omega, so nice to see you back! We missed you. Now you can help with "the great escape" to help Trysha get home. We might have to chain you to someone so you don't disappear on us again.
I told my doc in the OR (I really did:ylol2:) not to remove my sense of humor or imagination. It appears they are still intact. The only bad news is I had more adhesions than anticipated from prior surgeries so will be sore for awhile. The good news, I'm on drugs right now so not feeling it too bad at the moment. Best news, growth is not cancer. YAY! !
I think it's time to free Trysha. Trysha, dear, I agree, there's no place like home. Get better SOON!
 
😃 yay u home great news hun. See i said if u behaved they would let u out quicker 😆 so glad that theres no cancer hun phew .. hope the meds dont fade to quickly lol. Oh yes sense of humor stiil there kid yay ☺ . You take it easy now n rest up no chasing moose through the canyon just yet ok 😂 lots of love n best wishes 💋💋❤❤🎉🎉
 
P.S. Carol, in my cooking days, I used to make split pea and ham soup too. I really like it (though Doug not exactly fond of it. )
Doug is expanding his cooking skills these days, bought a diabetic cookbook, and made "diabetic lasagna" last night, broke it down into two servings portions, and froze them for when we might want them. He has really been doing well at exercising too. His glucose numbers are really going down, and reflect his hard work. I'm proud of the guy!
 
Hey well done to Doug he is a star
Tell him im proud of him too n too keep up the good work n keep well ☺💋
 
That's great news Sandy....now take it easy for awhile
Minimal access surgery can still be major in event.....just means they are more skilled in entry and faster in completion of the surgery
Surgery is still surgery and a necessary assault on our bodies
Looking forward to being released from my gentle prison
Tomorrow the recreation therapist has organized a Halloween hunt....it seems some of the staff will be dressing up for this half hour event
I don't really care for Halloween and ghastly figures....bit scary
Just can't wait to get out of here...where is everybody......
Winning........maybe

I agree with your opinion on Halloween, Trysha.
 
I love to watch the younger kiddos enjoying Halloween but it doesn't bother me if I don't participate in the festivities.
 
I love to watch the younger kiddos enjoying Halloween but it doesn't bother me if I don't participate in the festivities.

I also agree on the most ghastly aspects of Halloween Trysha and Ron, but a little Tom foolery doesn't bother me, if not overdone. I don't like things that really frighten or are oroverly gruesome though. On the other hand, and even more, like Shanen, I enjoy watching the kiddos, especially when they come trick or treating like a little princess or fairies, pirates, ball players, etc. I have fond memories of my "Casper the Friendly Ghost" costume as a kid.

Good morning peeps.

I hope you enjoy some of the festivities there Trysha, try to make the best out of what you can.
I'm trying to be a good patient too and have been getting up moving as per doctor's instructions (don't want any more of those blood clots ~~shudder~~), but also not doing too much. I'm still quite sore, but lucky that I have a high pain tolerance.
Hope all of you are as well as you can be. Loves and Huggins to all that want them.
 
Sandy,I'm happy you're home.Take things easy,enjoy the pampering and the drugs :rof: :ghug:

I know you'll all find this hard to believe :lol: but in real life I'm a proper misery guts......I hate Halloween,Guy Fawkes,Christmas (it's just another day to us,Sunday, probably because the shops are closed) ( and there's no newspapers,and the TV is "festive"rubbish) I hate public holidays,crowds of people,screeching kids,noise,litter and bad manners........there's more,but you get the picture.On Halloween,I close the blinds and watch TV in the dark and ignore the beggars at the door.Same with carol singersThey sing a couple of lines,badly,then put their hand out for reimbursement.....:eek2: cheeky b**gars...:ybatty::ybatty::ybatty:


But I LIKE WINNING :rof:
 
My philosophy for Halloween is that I will answer the door and hand out candy until it is completely dark. After dark falls the parents are taking their kids home for dinner, baths etc. Or they should be. If they are knocking on my door after that they don't need parents as a chaperone and in my opinion they are then too old to trick or treat and are getting no candy from me.
 
Interesting collection of views
Cold windy and sunny here
The view from my hospital room...spooktakular!!
Winning.....
 
Halloween is not big over here. Guy Fawkes is much more popular. As a kid I had to choose which one to celebrate. I only chose Halloween once. I do enjoy watching fireworks. These days I watch big displays, none of the back yard stuff.
 
We have an awful lot of fireworks around here,and all over the country really.
The trouble is that nowadays the fireworks start at Halloween and go on until at least a week after Nov. 5th.There's an organised show about half a mile away from 7 'til 10pm.and the noise is horrendous.Like a war zone.
In the last few years they're going off at birthdays and weddings too.As my dogs got older they were absolutely traumatised.Sedation was useless because of the length and unexpected "celebrations"......Moan over for now.
 
Hi you all,here for a win and to say i have now completed the free Trysha escape route plan . All set my end so when your all ready n kitted up, motors running etc , just let me know 😀 and we can get rolling🚘 .
Hope your all well today much loves 😘
 
Hi Ron thanks yes im fine. Very tired work is busy busy at the mo .. my old joints are feeling the pressure abit tho 😕 old age n crohns eh !!
Hope your good too mate.
 
What!!! You take gas ? 😂 oh no dont go there Ron since taking this questran i could fill a hot air balloon most days 😨 tmi maybe 😊
 
i know it can be a nightmare the old gas one mate. who would have thought how painful that can be 😔 . The things we have to deal with 😕 x
 
Ha ha ha ha! "Gas X" is the brand of a med meant to help with gas and bloating here in the US. And I had to look up Guy Fawkes day, never heard of it before this forum. Conversations get interesting here. And i could use some of that Gas X right now, the pressure is a little hard on the surgery site. Come to think of it, a lot of hot air balloons could be filled from the people here. Lots of love and may all your days be gas free to all.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
I forgot to say, Carol, some people in the US accuse Utah of being a boring place because some shops are closed on Sunday, about 1% of them, (and we are a little drier than most states because of the predominant religion), but newspapers are available at news stands and delivered to subscribers every single day of the year.
 
Oops haha see thats what being english does for you , makes u look daft as a brush 😃
thanks for the heads up there Sandy, hope your feel ok hun n your behaving (unlikely i guess) ☺. Take it easy n rest up ❤💋
 
You speak proper English, Mandy, we just speak 'merican. :) Gave me a good chuckle, tho. I'll have you know I've been behaving well (mostly because it's hard to do much else.) All of you here are great.
Let's go get Trysha away from her spooktacular view....
 
Glad your mostly behaving ☺. Speaking of releasing Trysha iv also got another mouse to release , trap was shut when i got up... It will be going on the bus to work with me (incognito mind) dont want to scare the other passengers 😨 . It should be far enuf away to not get back here 😕
So are we ready to roll on the great escape caper then ? .. Trysha make sure your ready hun!!
 
Wet morning here,the weather I mean...Yesterday I went to the new café in the park over the road,for tea and scones and we watched grey squirrels playing.They are not native to Britain and our red squirrels are suffering because the greys are big bullies.They ask the public to report grey sightings so they can be illiminated.No chance !!! What is it with the human race that they want to murder everything and each other ?
 
Glad your mostly behaving ☺. Speaking of releasing Trysha iv also got another mouse to release ,.....

Shall I compare thee to another mouse.....
If so I think perchance to have a grouse....
Four legs to two does not compare so well
Tho' well intentioned ...cannot be my house

Good luck Mandy.....don't lose the mouse on the bus and make a fuss

Winning.....
 
Love the poem trysha. It arrived at the woods in one piece n no drama on the busses ☺
hope all are well love n hugs ..x
 
I see they didn't remove your inner poet Trysha. And happy for the mouse that got away unharmed.
 
Love the poem trysha. It arrived at the woods in one piece n no drama on the busses ☺

Hope there were no owls around to see the mouse in its glory of freedom...

That was a kind thing to do Mandyk

Winning......?.
 
Hi Trysha hope you are improving day by day hun. Im hoping no owls were around as it was daylight . Oh i dont want to kill anything if i can avoid it even spiders get caught in a jar n put out the door.Im a softy like that hun 😊
You know how Carol said she was coming to get you out dressed as lara croft, well im thinking of coming as the exterminator as i cant terminate anything i would have to be an ex one wouldnt i ? 😃
You take care hun n get much better very soon ❤💋
 
Lovely weather here, summers finally on the way, resting up today so I can go flying tomorrow , I am getting withdrawals as I haven't been able to go for a month. Warbird day tomorrow and the forecast is great. I have some helpers lined up as I still can't bend in the middle. I asked the surgeon why he made such a large cut and he said he dropped his watch inside me and had to go looking for it. I think I can still feel it inside me, at least he has a sense of humour. Well it must be time for my win.
 
Nice for you to know that the surgeon left you ticking over ok Trev
Abdominal incisions cut you in half I find....makes it difficult to walk
I am still waiting for the rescue gang to arrive...the days and nights are getting longer
Hospital staffs are not what they used to be.....so short of staff but too many echelons of administrators.....
Amazing that you are able to do so much in a relatively short time span
I could have done better without the infections....thems the breaks
Keep on
Winning......
