Sorry if I've been a little remiss in my posting lately; since last Thursday I've been a 'little off.' Some would say....'a little?' I'm still not feeling myself, but I'm realizing more and more as I get older that I really don't know what 'myself' is anymore. If I were to guess, I think I might be going through another one of my kidney stone episodes....without the actual appearance of a kidney stone. I do have two or three of the little guys lurking around according to my last CAT scan. I've had similar episodes before and don't know why they STILL baffle me. I always get confused trying to decipher what I'm actually feeling. Maybe it's because these matters are not always consistent even in the same victimized body.
Anyhoooo, I refused to let it ruin my birthday celebration with Jen, Dan and Joe. Poker night was fun...and I actually was feeling pretty 'normal' that day. Yeah, I lost $3.00....but I made up for it in laughter. No one ever loses very much money in our little games....and none of us would really care if we did. It's all about the fun of spending time together 'raking each other over the coals' that we most look forward to. I'd say I'm the major 'rakee.' It seems I'm just too hilarious for words and my kids can't wait to jab me to see what reaction they get. I say, 'bring it on you nasty, monster children...I can take whatever you throw at me.'
Had a really nice birthday in general...lots of calls, cards, e-mails and some presents from those very same terrible children. I even had a surprise visit from Denise and TW on Saturday....with a little box from the bakery to help celebrate the day. I sliced that little treat up after dinner for the four of us....YUM. Thank you ladies.
We did some 'face time' too...calling Bella, Bastian and Liv from Jenna's new IPad. Now that was fun. I loved to be able to actually see the kids...and vice versa....rather than only hearing them.
Watched a lot of football on Sat. and Sun. too. What in the world happened to the Packers? I guess those couple of weeks off after their last game of the season may have done them more harm than good. My brother, who lives in Wisconsin and is a Packer-Backer....because it's the law if you live there, must be in a deep depression along with the rest of the state. Sorry Ken.
Have a good week everyone.... ~Joy xo
Shakespeare wrote about the 7 ages of man...Now Maxine uses the number 7 to refer to another facet of our being human.....(thanks to my cousin Donna for this)
The 1st kind of sex is called: Smurf Sex. * This kind of sex happens when you first meet someone, and you both have sex until you are blue in the face.
The 2nd kind of sex is called: Kitchen Sex. * This is when you have been with your partner for a short time, and you are so needy you will have sex anywhere, even in the kitchen.
The 3rd kind of sex is called: Bedroom Sex. * This is when you have been with your partner for a long time, your sex has gotten routine, and you usually have sex only in your bedroom.
The 4th kind of sex is called: Hallway Sex * This is when you have been with your partner for too long. When you pass each other in the hallway you both say 'Screw you.'
The 5th kind of sex is called: Religious Sex. * This means you get Nun in the morning, Nun in the afternoon, and Nun at night. (Very Popular)
The 6th kind is called Courtroom Sex. * This is when you cannot stand your wife any more. She takes you to court and screws you in front of everyone.
And; Last, but not least, The 7th kind of sex is called: Social Security Sex. You get a little each month, but not enough to enjoy yourself.
Sounds like you had a lovely birthday celebration.
I hope you're feeling more 'yourself' soon. That can be very disconcerting.

Sounds like you've been having a most enjoyable birthday celebration.
I remember years ago my folks had a jar full of pennies we'd drag out and distribute for fun games of penny ante, but we didn't keep our winnings -- back in the jar they went for next time.
I found the variety of topics in this post quite intriguing -- wondering if this is a reflection of your being "a little off" right now?
Coincidentally, I'm feeling the same way and have been struggling with limited success finding the best descriptive words for whatever is going on.
Has nothing to do with the topic Maxine introduces. BUT... Maxine sure knows the words to explain what she has to say! She is serious, isn't she??? I tried unsuccessfully to not laugh.

Happy Belated Birthday. I may be late, but my wish holds just as much love. Honest! Love, health, wealth and happiness to one of the sweetest pals I have. xo

Joy--Hope you are "yourself", again - whoever she is!
That Maxine is certainly a naughty one. I can hardly contain my huffing!

Dearest Joy ~ Happy Birthday and I hope you are feeling better. Thank you for your lovely comment and the many you left on Peter's updates. It is great to be home, but I need some serious stamina, which will come with the exercises and physio. Thank you so much for all your concern and caring dear friend. 47 days is a long time - I missed
Christmas and New Year. Thank you again dear friend - I really appreciated your messages.
Much love dear Joy, Merle.
