Noodles-WOW!! Exciting news!! Hope you can post pictures soon, they sound CUTE!!!

Ellis-ME TOO!!! The last few days here have been VERY cold, and all I want to do is hibernate!!! I keep on taking "mini naps" and I am still sleeping at night. STRANGE!!

Jessica-Hope you are starting to feel better.

Jennifer-I HATE THAT!! That up and down stuff REALLY annoys me...

Jessica!

Post pics soon Noodles! I am jealous - the pet stores here sell just regular rats no fancy ones. We got our dumbos from a friend's mom who breeds them. Unfortunately we are no longer in contact with that person.

Hope you are feeling better Jen

Where's them baby pics Irish?

I am looking to get some dumbos sooner or later. Just hard to find a good breeder out here in AZ with dumbos. Will post pics soon of these lil new guys tho! They are in my lap right now sleeping...Spoiled already!!

NEWS ALERT NEWS ALERT!!!

I had 10..yes count them..10 people in the chat room tonight!! WOOHOO!!

I guess my little message at the bottom must be working after all! Yippee!!! Course 2 of those were my daughter and husband but...hey!!!

(Sorry..had to blab to someone about it...and decided you girls are the best blabber tooers..haahaha.)

Noodles, wish I could have made it to chat! I need to install Opera. Something is wrong with IE. I can't upgrade. I get errors, so I am stuck with IE 5.0 and it won't let me chat.

My stomach is feeling better. I'm playing catch-up. No more details, don't want to make Ellis queasy! However, I wish I knew if my pains were my ovaries or my intestines. I just need to have my ovaries sliced on, and be done with it. I say that now, but I'll be thinking different as surgery comes close! Almost had them done last year, and I cried the night before, all the way until I left that morning, saying goodbye to everything in my head incase I died!

Nope, I like surgery about as much as I do flying.

Here's the new rat pics I promised!!

And here is Blue. The new Satin Solid Mink Blue Baby Boy Rattie!!

And here is Paprika "Pappy"...He is a Triamiese I found out...

And here they are together...Cuddling in Hubby's Arm. Lucky Rats!! It's hard to tell how small they really are so just compare their size there with his shirt pocket and that will give you an idea...cause they are really tiny lil fellas...

Oh... they're very cute, Noodles.

Jennifer... I'm sorry you're scared about the surgery. I felt the same way when I went in for my second c-section. You know, I could be wrong, but I don't think people actually die from having a hysterectomy. I'm pretty sure the surgeons have a good handle on what they're doing down there.
Don't freak yourself out. Unless you actually enjoy doing it. All will be well, sweetie.

Noodles- your ratties are adorable!!!!

Jen- I don't know what to say since I haven't been through any of that but I'm sending you a big hug of support -

Noodles-Okay, I've loved all the pictures of your ratties, but the blue one just melted my heart COMPLETELY!! What cuties!!!

Jen-I know there is a small risk from the anesthesia, but I have never known anyone who had major problems with a hysterectomy. My sis had one about a year ago (before she got her baby!!) and came through it GREAT. She had to have everything out because it was all fused, but she is SO glad to be rid of the pain!!! Having to wear a hormone patch has taken getting used to for her, but she is MUCH happier now.

Jen - Lots of hugs & good vibes for your surgery! :vibes

Noodles - the rats are, um, something.

Den - how are you? How is dad?

Hello to Ellis, Ruthxxx, Mauvais, and the rest of the chicks!

Where is Soozie????


Not much going on here. Trying to stay warm. Finishing up a baby shower gift. I did manage to shop this morning and bought a lot of fruits & veggies. I am just so damn determined to lose something other then my mind or car keys this week!

Yeah, I had the hysterectomy, and I've got a juicy picture of the tumor they took out, if anybody is interested in an appetite suppresant! I had my gallbladder out about 3 years ago, and my blood pressure was so low afterward, it was kinda scary. I think I am mostly scared of the hospital. My dr also practices at a 'specialty hospital'. Hopefully they are also on my new insurance, so I can get it done there. It's really small, mostly for childbirth and gynecological surgeries. I'd just about like to get it over with.

If I can make it through David Copperfield tonight without having a nervous breakdown, surely I can make it through surgery! Large arenas completely freak me out. I've not been in one (or anywhere else big and exciting!) since I went nuts in 1998.
