How is everyone today? This is from our e-magination. LOL

Your two would be young and frisky again, just like we are! And I would sure love to have my "Maxie" back again, young & frisky, to play with "Vienna" & "Linky." Oh, what cute names for dachshunds!

They could play with Whitney. She'd learn to love 'em! They could have a great barking party! And we wouldn't have to hear them! It'd be an "all dog alert," like on 101 dalmations.

Ooh! We gotta visit that waterfall and that coastline tomorrow! Put them on the list too.

Pond, can we have both??? The Hawaiian food AND the NY style pizza?? What's the difference in NY style pizza? Will there be any lobster, Hawaiian style? Uh Oh! Now I'm hungry again!

Oh quiet barking.......That would be great for linky as his bark is so irritating.
I'm hungry too. Pineapples, coconut, Lobster, prawns all we can eat. Never fattening and never too full. After dinner an hour massage and where too then? I think the moon is full tonight. I bet the beach is great looking under a full moon.
Hey what are the first pieces of jewelry are you 2 having made? Great Idea to rent out the whole bank to keep our stuff in. Did you see the the look on that bank managers face when we tipped him with that 5 carat diamond. cut down it may only be 3 carats but that will need a sling to hold his wifes arm up. Do you think it will be for wife or a mistress? Maybe he'll cut it evenly into 2. one for both. Did you see him blush when we ask who would end up getting it.
He just better not put the setting he has made on a credit card for wifey to see. Or he won't have the best of both worlds anymore.

Come on girls lets eat. Aren't these buffets great? Oh and look at that NY pizza.

I'm gonna have some of all of it, then come back for round 2. Everything looks so good. I usually have a problem with so many food choices, 'cause I know I can't sample it all. But here you never feel overfull, just very, very satisfied.
And just look at that dessert table! I'm gonna have some of all that too, twice!

Sandy, that walk on the moonlit beach sounds wonderful!

I got a huge emerald and a beautiful ruby that I'm gonna have made into pins, with diamonds. I think I'm going to get a sapphire, and I know I'm going back for that humongous opal I saw.

Shoot, I'll get one of those cute little scooters to ride around on when I'm wearing them to help carry the weight.

What is that yellow stone? I really like it and want to get one or maybe two of those. They're not quite as large, but I could get a butterfly pin from them to add to my butterfly pin collection.

I better quit talking and start eating, now that I have two plates full of this delicious food.

Lets go sit over there by the huge fire pit. I love to watch the flames. It's so relaxing to me, sort of entrancing, like watching a waterfall, or those beautiful tropical fish in such strikingly beautiful colors and shapes.

That yellow stone is a yellow diamond.
Amen to the scooter......

Ooh! It's gorgeous! Gotta get some!

Where's that scooter shop???

What happened to everyone? Maybe it is time for the post to come to a close. I am sure I won't be back for awhile. Even my e-magination can't make me feel better at this moment. I love you all. Please carry on.
I am very depressed and it seems like I have let everyone down out here.
Enjoy Hawaii. I am going back to bed as thet is the only way to escape today. I will be back I just am not sure when. Take care my wonderful friends

Sandy

hi sandi - no, you've not let ANYONE down - not by a long-shot. i'm just coming out of my funk right now. not even e-magination couldve helped me get through taking my 'baby' off to college [amongst other things]. i haven't posted in any forum in weeks....

I am still fighting this wrist in reality but I am here reading you guys every night you post. I am trying to rest this wrist until after the next surgery to get the inflamation out of it.

In Emagination I am without pain and here sitting on the beach in Hawaii with a gorgeous hunk fanning me with a palm branch. Doesn't he have magnificent muscles? Like Adonis

What's that? Would I love some coconut cream suprise drinks for my friends? Sure. I think put some Mango in mine and could you make sure that a massage is ready for me when I get in. This has been a long day of playing.

Gee thank you. This drink is the best I have ever had. You do things well here in Paradise.

Come on you guys, lets go swimming and see the fish. No sharks can bother us here. We are totally protected by this great hunk. What a life!!!!!!!

Is he gonna swim with us????????????

Come on, Sandy, Hand, join us!

Shut down this post????
Where would we go for comfort, hugs, fun, delicious food, and no pain???

Sandy, we all "get down" from time to time. It's all part of being disabled. But we didn't make it this far to give in to depression. That ugly beast will always be around to haunt us and taunt us, and try to drag us down. But that's why we're all here in e-magination, for each other, to support and comfort each other, to care about each person here. Everybody matters here! We can't get along without anyone!

So get the heck out of your funks! I need all of you to give me hugs and support, as I go with my DD for surgery on Friday in Jax. We need your prayers, and nobody's getting off this merry-go-round when they're needed.

I won't be on the net for a few days until we return. But you can be sure that I will be thinking of each of you and keep you in my prayers!

Nobody gets to give in or give up here!!!!

Give me one of those coconut cream surprise drinks----nah, make that two!

Judith I think your drink needs to be spiked so you can relax for the next few days. Hugs and prayers go with you as you all go on your journey. I know it will all be fine for her and she will be much happier and heathier for getting it done. Heaven only knows why it took the docs so long to do this surgery but in my heart of hearts everything will work out fine for her. I know this is still your baby and your future grandkids here!!! I am well aware of that and you know I am because I want those little gremlins around the house too. :~)

HUGS to all of you.

Your drink is here Judith. Taste the marvelous ripe pineapple and coconut in it? OMGosh does he do a great drink or not? Did you see his friends over there? They are waiting to be of service to us too. We are getting to be very popular since we were flashing all our riches around here.

oh pond - i caught you!!! you're supposed to be in e-land dreamland right now!!!!
thoughts and prayers are with you and dd, judith!
i think i'm gonna have a cosmos! and sit and relax by the pool ----

Rich'll do that, ya' know!

&Thanks for the hopes and hugs!
(God's will)
But I'll take the spiked drink!

Let's see if I can "burn rubber" when I tear out of here in my wheelchair!!!!! Beep! Beep!

You guys keep up the happy, OK? I'll need it when I get back!

Ohhhh you guys have you tried these hors de vors (sp)? I think they are macadamia cherry drops dipped in the best chocolate. Just let them sit in your mouth for a while and drip down your throat with their wonderful flavors. Judith can you taste that? OMG that is wonderful. Almost as good as my fudge! lol

Look at that hosta over there! It has to be a hosta because the shape of the leaves is such that I KNOW it is one. But I have never seen one with red centers to the leaves! We need to dig up a couple of starts of it for our gardens and later we can trade them for neat stuff on DG. Oh how I love my plants!!!!

Sandy, look over there! There is another beautiful waterfall for us to bathe in or just to swim under. Isn't that lovely in those trees over there? It HAS to be orchids and look at those bromeliads (sp). Arent those colors just the best? There is even a black orchid. Oh my!!!!

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! Screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeccccchh!
And I'm gonna pick up right where I left off!
Okay, where is everybody???

Garcon! I'll have another of those pineapple/coconut drinks, and don't be stingy! A triple-sized one, for starters!

Ooh, you're right, Pond. These macadamia cherry chocolate drops are to die for!!! But they're not as good as your creamy fudge, never!!

I'm getting a bunch of different kinds of hostas from the coop. That one with the red center is a gotta have to really set off the rest!

These are the most beautiful flowers and plants I have ever seen. So cheerful, and so healthy, too.

Now, let's go into that waterfall! See if it's as good and refreshing as the last one we tried. We have to try them all, you know.

Sandy, Hand, Melvatoo! Come on in! The water's fine! Snag some of those candies on your way in!

It's great to be back, and to escape from hurricane alley!

I would like one of those triple sized drinks too...with lot and lots of rum....a pina colada for me...a dacquri would be okay too...strawberry, please...oh heck! a gin and tonic would do. I sure am glad it is in my e-imagination, so it won't knock me out, the last timeI had a drink was about two years ago, so just telling me that it has rum or gin or...would work just fine...I am very suggestabible (even though I can't spell it)
I think I am going to hold out for Lani's fudge...but those candies do look fine!
A black orchid? We could make a fortune with that...but wouldn't it be nice to just trade it with our DG's friends? I bet people would trade us some cool things to get one of those babies!
I have always wanted to swim in a pool with a waterfall, a gentle one, so you could stand under it.
Judith, good to see you here...Lani, you too...and where is Sandy? It just is not the same without her, and her Appaloosa...Sandy you hear me? Come back!

Hi, Melvatoo! I'm sure glad you're back! We have to get Sandy back.

Sandy! Your masseuse is waiting for you! He said he can't do anybody but you! You don't want him to lose his job do you?

We have a pina colada waiting for you too!

Your appaloosa came back without you! Are you OK???????

If you don't come back, then we all have to go home. And I'll have to go back to hurricane Frances, then Ivan! Please let's stay here where life is wonderful! I might drown! Blub, blub, gasp!

Well, I just emailed Sandy so I sure hope she comes "home" again to DG very soon. I told her we need her to join us in our party.

Ohhh this waterfall is wonderful and this pond is big enough to really get some swimming in. If you didn't know how to swim before this thread you automatically know how here so have a great time swimming all the different strokes you want to swim.

I would just love a tequila sunrise today. They used to be my favorite drink the few times I ever went out for a drink. I am sure here in Hawaii it will be with fresh fruit mixed in it. Hey, bartender!!!! Could you please bring me a tequila sunrise? Sure all the fruit you want to put in it would be wonderful. The fruit here is SO tasty!!!

Sigh, I think I will just take a little nap on this rock. It is so comfortable here.

zzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzz

zzzzzzzz(blub)zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz(gasp)zzzzzzzzzz
Snort, snozzle, wheeze, zzzzzzzzzz
Oh, Hi, guys 'n gals!
Tequila sunrise??????
Yeah! I'll have one (or 2). zzzzzzzzz
I'll wake up for thatzzzzzzzzzzz
Boy, this rest and zzzzzzz's are really good!
SANDY! Come back! So's we can all wake up!
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.......... . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Ladies you are the greatest. I have never felt this home anywhere else. Fri. I go in for Shots in the facets of L3-L4, L4-L5, and L5-S1. At least they put you out of it.Pray for me as I am scared. Then they do them again oct. 1st After that a disco gram. Yuck.
Enough of that

WAKE UPPPPPPPPPP...and pass one of those Tequila sunrise?????? or 2. or maybe 3.
And that massage please.

You got it, Lady! Welcome back!
As you can see, we've missed you!

Sounds like you've been having a lot of back pain lately.
That can certainly get you down! It never stops!!!!!!!
Meds don't help! Been there.
So sorry you're having such a bad time.

But here, we can at least provide each other, as well as ourselves, an escape, even if only for a few minutes.
We need you, too, along with everyone else who comes along.

Enjoy your Tequila Sunrise's and your massage!

(((((((((((((((((((Hugs!))))))))))))))))

do not be scared - i have bilateral facets shots and did ok [what's a disco gram?]

Welcome home Sandy! Of course we will pray for you...I am sure that everything will be fine. Meanwhile enjoy those drinks! And pet that horse! She was inconsolable without you, I have never seen a horse that had bonded so, with a human...you must be very special..horses know!

WB Sandy!!!!!! We missed you a lot. Even when I can't type I read all these forums and you were truly a part of this one. After all you are the creator of this fine thread. Wasn't the same without ya. You will have my thoughts and prayers.

Melva you are exactly right about that. Horses are such special critters that they do sense special people. My horse Barodnea whickers at special people who are bringing her her dinner all the time. LOL But you are telling the truth because even though they brought her the food if she doesn't like them they are not going to get close enough to be petted even though she is one of those horses you can lead anywhere by the mane.

Ohhh this tequila sunnrowusis tatelskes goedi. wiagtklwei. wintsnklksl;s

A disco gram is where they shoot dye into the discs and see what is going on.
I had a fusion with ray cages at L4-L5, and L5-S1 with ray cages and they think they did not fuse. L3-L-4 is something new to me. This is suppose to be the most painful test. But it will be the last. It will tell if I need a refusion with extra hardware or live like this..

Hope I can slip in some of these e-drinks. Hey ladies I am feeling tipsy. Do I have 2 horrsseees. JudithI stand still getting sick sea i'mmmmm.

Where is everybody? Wow that was some e-drinking we did.

What a party!!!!!
And e-drinking doesn't count. No hangovers!
Just relaxing fun!

Sandy, you went to sleep on your "snore" in your previous post. (heehee)
You need to edit your post with the zzzzz's & snore.
Put in a space here and there to fix the "thread spread." ; )
I've done that before too! Heck, we all have!

Thanks Judithl, I sure feel more rested. I slept sounder after adding spaces.

Oh yes, it is always more restful and relaxing!

Now, what's for breakfast this morning?
And what is today's new adventure?

And you're right, where is everybody? Still sleeping it off????

I guess you and I can go on down and check out what's for breakfast. The others can catch up with us later. I'm really hungry. Maybe they have a new version of seafood. Lobster bisque, maybe, or clam chowder, just to start off with. Ah'm powerful hongry!!!!

Oh, look at the new blooms that have opened this morning. I haven't seen most of these before. Maybe the season is changing here. Do you suppose they have 4 seasons here, in some form or another?

I am not sure if they have 4 seasons here or not. I bet it doesn't snow hehehe
Those blooms are gorgeous. I love it here. I am not ready to leave here yet It
is too beautiful. GREAT friends, GREAT food, GREAT times, who could ask for more.

Just curious, should we start a new thread? This one is aweful long?
LMK what you guys think.

I think we should start another thread, this one, is getting pretty darn long...
