hellloooo??? where is everyone?

[tammyp]

its quiet in here.....im lonesome.:byeg:

[Suzanne]

I am around but no one is posting anything

[Tatyana]

Hai, it is freaking cold in the south of England.

We have snow that is actually staying on the ground.

[GirlyMuscle]

I've been too busy sightseeing, going to the beach, eating yummy foods and testing out Australian wines. I only pop in here in my mornings while I drink coffee and try to wake up.

Did I tell ya it's been warm and sunny every day since I got here? Don't be jealous!

[KBigz81]

Girly...I'm jealous! Living in Illinois during the winter time sucks..period. I hate the cold...or anything below 60 degrees for that matter. Hope you're enjoying the sun and sand and warmth.

[Big J1]

too cold ....under the covers.....brrrrrr...this is my hibernation time

[magsmalone]

Busy...spreading holiday cheer! Counting the days until I go on my New Years cruise to Mexico. Margaritaville here I come!

Same here - just trying to stick to a diet until the trip to Cabo .. for a LOTTA MONEY, you too, can spend New Year's at on the beach in Cabo! (So needless to say, for my bucks, I don't want to be the fatty American tourista down there...)

[Melissa]

I'm here....I've just had my hands stuck in a bag of cashews and didn't want to mess up the flow from the bag to my mouth in order to post.:hungry:

[Shariff Abel]

Hey there have you seen Mr G anywhere !

[tight booty]

I'm still here but I have noticed that the forums are a little quieter, but I think it's because people are busy getting ready for Christmas!

[RealLilSwole]

Well, I have been here, but not posting too much anymore. I've got to be truthful here. Please, no one get mad at me. But I have been a little disgusted with SOME, not all of the forums. It seems that people's words get twisted, or people come down too hard on people, etc. People are just ruthless anymore. As my momma always told me, if you ain't got nothing nice to say, then say nothing at all and thats what I have been doing.

Plus I got a new job. LOL! I am no longer working as a cancer nurse. Well, I will always be an oncology nurse at heart. But I just can't deal with people dying anymore. I became friends with one of my patients on the outside of the hospital and he finally died last week. I am sad but his death was a blessing. I know that sounds terrible, but he was in a lot of pain and unable to tolerate food anymore due to tumors. He was only 29 years old with stage 4 colon cancer. He had a tumor almost as big as a soccer ball wrapped around his aorta. So basically, his cancer made he bleed out. Truely just devastating.

I am now working in the operating room. Can be as equally sad, but now my patients are asleep and after surgery, I don't take care of them again.

Ok...sorrry I wrote a book.

I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

[GirlyMuscle]

I gotta hand it you, Swole...and any one else who works with sick/dying people. I could never handle that. I'm glad someone can though!

[RealLilSwole]

Thanks Ms. GirlyMuscle! Love the avatar!!

I DO NOT tolerate heat well
I will walk the dogs wehn it is 5 deg but i am hard pressed to do it if above 80

other stuff you are doing sounds fun!

[GirlyMuscle]

LOL...I'm the opposite. I wear gloves when the temps hit 50F. If I never saw snow the rest of my life I'd never miss it.

Any details on the new job? Best wishes on that! :beerbang: And congratulations.

I'm grateful for my 47 years. I see so many young people in the obits, it's ridiculous. :(

The bookier the better! Write on!

I agree with you there. Maybe some nice pictures of snow might suffice for me.

I completely understand what you are feeling. I worked on a palliative care floor until last year and even though it is hardbreaking work I really feel llike we make a huge difference helping patients and families come to terms with their illness/loss. I am on an active surgical floor now and an enjoying the fast pace! Still some sad stories but I guess there always will be no matter where we work....

Keep up the great work!

[debbiebramwell]

Hey ladies, sorry about any negativity you may read on the forums, we are doing our best to moderate it. In life nothing is perfect and you are gonna have to deal with people like this. The great thing is there are way more positive , wonderful people here which is why I am here. Let us know if there is anything you need.:hmn:happy holidays!!;)

I am excited, Im going to Los angelos for xmas to see my family! Last 2 years we went to phoenix to see some friends for new years but they decided to come to Alabama. We are gonna party like rock stars then after new years I am starting prep for new york pro show. What are you all doing for the holidays??

Hey Curt Whassup buddy? Speaking about snow,we got blasted here with 2 feet of snow. Everything shut down in the DC/Balt. Metropolitan area.

[magsmalone]

I salute you for your hard work as an oncology nurse! I'm sure you have brought much happiness into the lives of your patients. Makes you appreciate everything that we take for granted. I am an Anesthesiologist and work in the OR. It can be challenging too. I do get a sense of satisfaction as we all work together as a team to get the patients through their surgeries and on the road to recovery. I think you will enjoy that aspect of the operating room.

[Curt James]

That's an incredible, beautiful shot.

I'm not looking forward to digging my car out tomorrow. We didn't get nearly the snow that you did either.

[debbiebramwell]

now I have to party extra just for you:p I have friends visiting from phoenix(we went there the last 2 years)for new years. We are going out dancing. I got vip to the club so it will be comfty and fun! I start prep right after new years!:lift::D

[The Prodigy]

I like to read, but don't have the experience competing to post much! So I guess I am a lurker!

Just moved my business too... well, paid a couple of guys to do that for me. Moving heavy gym equipment sucks. I'm all business anyway, don't do a whole lot a partying no matter what time of the year it is.

I only like snow until Christmas, as soon as Christmas is done I want it to go back to 90 degrees, I love the heat and humidity.

This was always my favorite part of going home (MN) for xmas when I lived in S. Florida. I could go home, "Oh look mom! I"m shoveling! Oh look at the pretty snow! SNOWBALL FIGHT!" (splat)

Then after a week of that I"m fantasizing about getting on the plane and spending New Years on the beach w/ my Scuba diving buddies.

The best return trip I ever had, a friend picked me up at the Ft. Lauderdale airport and we went straight to Shooters on the Intracoastal, and watched the sun set in shorts & frosty drinks w/ umbrellas.

Another fav thing to do was call home to wish everyone a happy New Year from the beach. (Got lots of "F U..." ;) )

I remember before my kids were born my husband and I spent NYE in FT. Lauderdale and actually woke up on the beach the next morning. So long ago were those worry free times.

[GirlyMuscle]

You'll get those days back again. My son is 21 yrs old. I'll be on the beaches of Western Australia on Christmas Day. Don't be jealous! :D
