I was just wondering if Kathie is alright I have not heard from her for awhile does anyone know about her?

Hey Rhonda, Who is the new guy?  Tell all!!! Well, my son and his soon to be new wife were going to move th HI and then out of the blue they got approved for a home loan.   There is no way they would be able to afford a house there so they have decided to stay in Chicago for awhile.  With winter coming I am sure they may regret that decision. The grandbabies are not here yet, but I don't want to be far away so I was thinking of going with them. So anyway we are going to stay here for now.  We are going in a couple of weeks to take care of some wedding stuff.  They are getting married next May.  This will be my first time there and I am so excited. Good to hear from you again!!! Take care, Kathy

I have been here for almost 4 years and I have to say I love and hate it all at the same time. I love the beaches, I love to drive around the island and see the sites. I love the weather.  I hate the cost of housing,the cost of untilities...if you run your a/c all the time be prepard to pay a good 600 dollar electric bill, learned that one real quick.   the time it takes to drive through traffic, the cinnapedes(sp) the millipedes, the scorpians, the roaches..the big flying ones the termites that swarm our house. The fact that I pay 2,000 a month and the people who own this place wont fix crap in a timely manner.

Hey all, well here i am just sitting here and enjoying my pain meds, hahaha. I am now 4 days post op of my tummy tuck, and just got home from my check up with the doc. Was suppose to have my 2 drains removed but he said i still have quite a bit of liquids draining. so i need to go see him on Tue and see if they need to be removed. The surgery it self went really well, he finished sooner than he planned. Got to recovery room woke up and pain wasnt as bad as i thought it would be, like my previous surgeries when i wake from anasthesia i cant see clearly everything is blurry. so i would look around to see were im at and whos around me but of course i cant see str8. so i here the nurse callin for my room, and they say wait a lil more there is no room open. So i waited there and waited then finally got a room. My Visitors and all was already there in my room. so i was glad for that. stayed one nite and went home the next day as planned. Went home and jus plopped myself in the recliner and poopped some pills and that was it. Was stuck there unless i needed to pee, bathe, or i needed to pop more pills!!! hahaha. (yes im a baby when it comes to pain). So all is well! i got plenty pics will show you all laterz. Take care =)
